Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 50 - The scalebound Treaty
One thing was certain and everyone there knew that, one Sir Carl Moretti captured anyone that crossed his path, it was sure that they were going to lose their lives and never be seen by their family and friends.Their dead bodies are rumored to be fed to his wild dogs that he had raised by himself.“I certainly have not heard anything about your master or you. I know nothing about these rumors.”“you are starting to act like you now fear us. You may not know us but today, you are going to learn about who we are.” The head of the personal guards said. “At least you're not going to deny the fact that you know Yarden Clove right?”Alex chuckled lightly. “You came here to defend that boy? That should have been the first message you passed instead of causing drama here. Let’s get started on business.” He said.He remained where he was, waiting for them to launch an attack on him. He didn’t look like he was ready to fight with them, one might even confuse him for a spectator instead of a fi
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 51 - Bile
Alex could feel bile rise in his throat as he heard her name. He was tired of having her involved in his affairs. It was like every move he made in Trim city was connected to her. “That’s okay.”“Is there anything you want me to do with Yarden Clove, should I teach him a lesson or kill him off?” Carl Moretti asked.“Do whatever you want to him, do not just tell him about my identity.” he replied to Carl.On the good days, with what Yarden had done, constantly coming after him would have led to a bigger matter because Alex without having dealt with him, given the type of temper he had. Hr would have made him armless.Alex considered that he is Thea’s family member, so he would not deal with him.Though Thea was arrogant to hum, if Lord Thor wakes up from the coma and orders that the wedding plans continue, he would not be able to do anything about it. He would have to follow his Kate parents and master Dustin's intentions to marry her.“One more thing, my lord.” Carl stopped Alex from
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 52 - The Miraculous Surprise
It was now very late in the evening, Miller had been in his room, regretting what had happened. If he did not ask Alex to accompany his daughter to that party, maybe this would not have happened to him, he refused to eat, he just sat in the living room. Lost in his thoughts.Molly and Rena were now concerned about him because he had been in the same spot all evening and he had not said anything. He had just been having deep sighs, nothing more.Rena was the one to speak, she stayed some meter away from him, “Victor, why have you been like this? Is it because of Alex? I am sorry that he had gotten himself in trouble with Carl Moretti but there is nothing we can do about it.”“Afterall, we mentioned to him that he should stop playing tricks all around Trim city. If he had listened to my warnings, I am sure this would not have happened to him.”“Now he did not just cross just anyone, he went to offend Sir Carl Moretti, I will advise that you should not think too much about it, let’s wai
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 53 - The Cloves plan backfires
Loki and Yarden Clove were waiting patiently at Carl Moretti’s house. Yarden was already getting nervous as he felt like Sir Carl was already taking too much time.Alex was not a weak opponent, a big part of him was starting to think that he might be stronger than sir Carl and his men. He decided to voice out to his father.“It seems like Sir Carl is taking so much time, if he was good enough, it is not supposed to take this long before he kills him off.”Loki chuckled lightly, "You are only a kid that is why you do not know the extent of Sir Carl Moretti's power. He even decided to take care of this on his own, let's wait for him, there is no need to rush. Greatness should never be rushed.”Carl Moretti appeared just in time, Loki and Yarden sprang up from their seat with happiness that Carl had already held them to take care of Alex and the revenge was successful already.His men also walked with him but there was no dead body with them like they had promised to bring.“Er.. Sir Car
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 54 - The invitation
Alex woke up the next morning. Miller's residence was quiet as everyone in the house was asleep, he fixed some food for himself, then the housekeeper arrived shortly after he was done cooking. He then told her to pass a message to his uncle and told her that he had a few things to sort out. Just as he was about to leave, Miller came downstairs to have someone water. He saw Alex walking towards the door. “Its quite early in the morning where are you sneaking off to?” “Good morning, Uncle Miller,” Alex turned back, he didn't even think that Miller would have woken up that early. “I have to sort of do some business outside today,” he replied to his uncle. “Were you going to leave without words?” Miller wore a look as if he was just betrayed on his face “I left a word with the housekeeper. I told to mention to you that I was heading out,” Alex wished he had left a bit earlier knowing that his uncle wouldn’t want him to leave on his own. A bit of him makes metal preparat
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 55 - Swindler
Rebecca and one of the staff from Bacon Property office were discussing in the office recess room. The guy was her distant relative, and they grew up together. His name was Ian Grey.Though Becca's family was comfortable enough, he still had to work so he could feed his own family, that was why he was working as a salesman in the Bacon’s property office.“I am glad that you were able to pull in clients for me, Becca. I wonder what my place would be at work, if you had not chipped in to help me most times.” he said with sincerity in his voice“You're it seem like we are not family, Ian, It's a pity that my wealthy friends are not looking to get properties at the moment or anytime soon, I would have referred them to you, You know that kind of people I move with but I still know some people that may be interested in living in apartments.”There was a huge price slash in getting apartments and Villa. (You may read Chapter 26 for references.)“I am grateful for what toys do for me Becca, I
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 56 - Swindler 2
Becca did not believe that the first person she would be laying her eyes on was going to be Alex especially after what he had done the previous night. Her birthday party that was supposed to last all night long got interrupted because Sir Carl Moretti’s men mistook him for another person.She really thought that he was mistaken for a thief, she would rather he was the real thief so that her best friend, Molly would never have to deal with him anymore but now he was even showing up as an important customer that wasn't to get a Villa from her distant relative.Rebecca was starting to think that he is her nemesis from probably betraying her country in her past life. “Uh, I guess you knew him just like I thought,” her relative said in a sad and droopy voice. Becca didn’t not sound like she was delighted to see him, she in fact called him a swindler, it sounded like they were sworn enemies or was the young manreally here to swindle him into debts.Then that would be very horrible.“Yes,
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 57 - 100,000,000
The realtor immediately arrived at the office as she saw Alex. She walked up to him, “Sir you are here. I should take you to see my Villa myself.” She said with a smile on her face.On a normal day, Ian would have put up a fight if the realtor came in to take his customer away but given the type of person Becca had claimed that Alex was, he had lost interest.“Is it okay that I take the customer to the Villa myself?” the realtor asked, he knew that though his position was higher than the salesperson, he should ask for permissions before taking the customer. “Ofcourse, you may take him to see the Villa. I even handed him over to you totally afterall you had given him to me first.”Upon saying that even if the client(Alex) ends up buying the villa, all the bonuses go straight to the Realtor's account and Ian will not get any cut from it.After Alex and his boss left, he faced Becca.“I don't know what I would have done without you, Becca. If he scammed me and I had lost this job, I won

Chapter 178
Later, in the quiet of the strategy garden, the Crown Prince sat with Alex beneath the phoenix blossom tree. The sun had softened, casting golden light through the leaves. “You were not wrong to speak bluntly,” the Prince said. “But it will draw more enemies,” Alex replied. The Prince nodded. “I am used to them.” He looked up at the sky. “There was a time I believed in peace. In balance. But now… I see we are all pieces on a board shaped by men like Bourne.” Alex’s voice was low. “Then let us be the ones who flip the board.” The Prince smiled faintly. “You remind me of my uncle when he was young.” “Was he wise?” “He was brave,” the Prince said. “And now he is dead.” They sat in silence. Then the Prince stood. “I have a favor to ask.” “Speak it.” “Continue your research on flame Qi,” the Prince said. “There is a legend I need verified. One that involves your seal… and my mother.” Alex raised a brow. “What legend?” The Prince’s voice lowered. “That the Phoenix Line o
Chapter 177 - Dangerous waters
The banners of the Jade Pavilion fluttered in the late morning breeze as the Imperial Court of Elders convened for an unscheduled session.It was rare for the Crown Prince to summon the council without imperial prompting. Rarer still for him to do so on temple day, when most elders were expected to attend prayer offerings or engage in scholarly review. Yet all thirteen robed figures arrived within the hour, none bold enough to decline the Crown Prince’s personal seal.At the center of the grand chamber, a long half-moon dais faced a raised seat where the Crown Prince now sat, flanked by two incense-bearing ministers. Behind him stood Alex Cole, dressed once again in black and silver robes, his face calm though his presence sent a ripple through the room.The court was not used to outsiders.Certainly not ones who stood without kneeling.Yet none called it out.They had heard of him.They had heard of the poisoned assassin.The Crown Prince stood.His voice was steady, rich with the
Chapter 176 - Half brother
The first light of morning filtered through the lattice windows of the Crown Prince’s private strategy hall, casting long golden bars across the polished floor. Outside, the palace was waking. Gardeners swept fallen petals. The temple bells rang softly in the distance. Couriers moved with quick steps, carrying missives sealed in jade tubes.But inside, the tension was suffocating.Alex Cole stood near a long scroll table, arms folded across his chest. He had cleaned and dressed his wounds, though the bandage around his left bicep was still fresh. His expression was unreadable.Across from him stood Thea Walton, her cloak removed and tossed across the nearest chair. Her uniform was partially undone, revealing the tight linen beneath, but she looked less like a war general today and more like a woman on the edge of something personal.The Crown Prince sat at the head of the room, leaning slightly on his right arm. His sword, wiped clean of the assassin's blood from the night before, la
Chapter 175 - Alex goes down
Moonlight spilled across the cobblestone pathways of the imperial courtyard like liquid silver. The garden here, nestled between the east wing of the inner court and the outer temple pavilions, was designed for silence. No servants wandered here after dusk. The lanterns had been dimmed to faint embers, and only the distant rustling of wind-touched bamboo broke the stillness.Alex Cole stood alone beneath the blossoming night cherry tree at the garden’s edge.His breath was shallow. Fatigue gnawed at his bones.He had not rested since the completion of the cure. The strain of channeling high-tier flame Qi during refinement had pushed his meridians close to overload. Though he had masked it well, his energy was fractured. Spiritual channels that usually ran like rivers now trickled slowly, choked by internal strain.Still, something had drawn him outside.A whisper at the back of his mind. A prickle at the base of his neck.He had sensed it earlier at his window—a shift in the palace’s
Chapter 174 - Wraith Needle
The lanterns had long dimmed across the inner court, but in a secluded corner of the Physician's Wing, a single chamber glowed with light. Alex Cole sat at a low lacquered table, the air thick with the fragrance of crushed herbs and warmed spiritual energy. Golden runes shimmered faintly across the floor in a formation meant for concentration and Qi stabilization. The walls were lined with jade tiles, each engraved with protective symbols inscribed by royal talisman artisans. This was no ordinary guest chamber. The Crown Prince himself had ordered it prepared. Alex’s robe had been shed and folded neatly at the side of the table. A light inner tunic clung to his body, damp with sweat. Before him lay a tray of rare ingredients: the White Snake Flower, now fully harmonized; a dish of powdered Thunder Leaf; and a sealed vial of jade resin, freshly extracted from the spiritual trees near Mount Qingshan. Everything had been checked for purity three times. Still, Alex performed his
Chapter 173 - The princess’s offer
The Grand Celestial Hall was radiant.Golden lanterns floated high above, suspended by unseen formations, casting a warm light that made the entire space shimmer like sunlight on water. Court nobles stood dressed in their most formal silks, their heads adorned with jade pins, gold-threaded hats, or embroidered veils depending on their rank. The occasion was an impromptu court gathering organized by the Crown Prince. It had been called to celebrate the stabilization of his condition and to officially welcome a guest who had become the subject of whispers in every corner of the palace.That guest was Alex Cole.He stood at the far end of the hall, flanked by two royal aides. His robe was midnight blue, gifted by the Crown Prince himself. It bore no family crest but was trimmed with silver lining and celestial cloud embroidery that marked him as someone favored by the highest echelons of power.He did not seek the attention of the room.But the room gave it to him all the same.Dozens
Chapter 172 - Spirit Guardian
The greenhouse was silent.Too silent.Alex Cole stood motionless, the crystal case housing the White Snake Flower still warm in his palm. Princess Serena had vanished into the maze of luminous vines to inspect a sacred fern said to release spiritual mist under moonlight. The glass dome above shimmered, reflecting the glow of suspended spirit-lanterns, yet the energy inside the room had changed.He felt it first in his skin like a static charge in the air.Then, deeper within his core.The Qi of the White Snake Flower… was no longer calm.Alex frowned.The flower in his hand pulsed unnaturally. Instead of the gentle rhythm of a living plant, its spiritual essence felt… jagged. Fractured. Like a song suddenly off-key.He set the crystal case on a stone pedestal and knelt beside it. His fingers hovered just above the jade-sealed latch as he closed his eyes, letting his senses extend outward.At first, he sensed nothing unusual.But the deeper he probed into the flower’s essence, the mor
Chapter 171 - Orchid Blade
The midday sun glinted off the curved rooftops of the Jade Pavilion as a cooling breeze swept through the palace grounds. Underneath a shaded colonnade near the eastern garden, Alex Cole stood, gazing out at the koi pond below. The serene scene before him was interrupted only by the murmuring of distant court attendants and the flutter of palace banners.He had barely stepped out of the treatment chamber when the summons came. A young maid had approached respectfully and, after bowing, informed him that Princess Serena awaited him at the Jade Bridge, the symbolic entryway into the Imperial Greenhouse.Now, he waited.He had heard the name before. Serena, one of the Crown Prince’s cousins—was no ordinary princess. Known as the “Orchid Blade” among palace circles, she was a celebrated martial arts prodigy, the youngest in decades to win the Royal Combat Trials and the only princess to ever defeat a member of the palace guard in single combat. But she was also known for her mercurial te
Chapter 170 - Nine Dragon silver needle box
The jade-tiled chamber was one of the most sacred rooms within the Imperial Healing Pavilion.Located at the innermost wing of the inner court, it was accessible only by the royal family, top-ranking imperial physicians, and the occasional war hero brought back on the edge of death. The floor was carved from ancient sea jade, a rare mineral believed to channel cooling energy and absorb pain. The ceiling glistened with embedded pearls that reflected sunlight through gilded lanterns, bathing the room in a soft halo of calm.Alex Cole stood alone at its center.He was dressed in ceremonial black robes trimmed with silver, tied tightly at the waist. His sleeves had been rolled back, revealing forearms covered with faint acupuncture scars from years of self-training. In his right hand, he held a long, rectangular wooden case, the Nine Dragon Silver Needle Box, a gift passed to him by Dustin before his journey began.The box had remained unopened for years.Now, it whispered to him.The he
