He was only going to let him touch his daughter because his wife had told him that he was the best doctor in their city. The person he wanted it to be was Alex.
“I cannot say till we all see it but be rest assured that since I am here, your daughter cannot pass away,” Alex assured him, “But there is a condition, you will have to get me the White Snake Flower.”
“I will get you anything you want as long as you save my daughter’s life. If you want hundreds of them, I’m willing to give you.”
Alex laughed knowing that Donald doesn’t know how rare the White snake flower is. It’s impossible to find one, not to speak of ten.
Dr Norton scoffed in his mind, “He dare ask for that rare herb? Such a thief. I will make sure he doesn’t get it.”
He brought out the cure he had prepared for Bella. He filled the syringe with some liquid. He was full of himself that it would work. He was determined to prove Alex wrong.
He dared to call such sickness a minor thing. He wasn't surprised because he is just an ordinary doctor.
David Norton could not deny that Alex’s aura was strong and he was almost convinced that the girl really had hypersomnia.
He didn’t agree to
Donald and Anna were in a corner of the room as they were frightened about what their daughter's fate was going to be.
He was annoyed that Alex was acting like he was some sort of savior, of his, he injected the cure into Bella’s body.
“Tch Tch.” Alex clicked his teeth, “I was expecting a better approach to this but you have only worsened the young girl’s life. I didn’t think much of your skills at first but now I have realized that I may have overrated your skills.”
“She will be in great danger in the next few seconds.” Alex wanted but Dr Norton got angry instead of watching out.
“I am the most skilled doctor in Mericania, I have stayed at the top in the ranking of the orthodox doctor. How could I possibly mix such a thing up?” he demanded angrily, " You think i am a fool right? Nothing is going to happen to her in….”
Before he could complete this statement The life monitor started beeping loudly, Bella’s heart rate had dropped and her breathing had hardened. Hot sweat broke on Dr Nortotn as he wondered what went wrong. He was so shocked that he could not move away from the spot he was standing in.
He has been so sure that she would be fine right after he gave her the injection.
Anna Bourne fell on her knees and held onto Alex’s legs, “Please save my daughter. I am sorry for doubting your words earlier. I do not want her to die. She is my only daughter.”
Her husband joined her in begging, “I never for once doubted your skills, Divine doctor. I just wanted my wife to see that you were not wrong. I will be sure to get the herb that you requested..”
“Of Course, I will help you, Mr Bourne, I have given you my approval earlier.”
A huge smirk was on his face and he picked up his little pouch that contained some needles, in a swift of an eye the room became static as the ten needles flew toward Bella’s special acupuncture spot.
“What? That is the Static strike, a special skill that can be possessed by divine doctors. If a normal orthodox doctor tried to use this method, it could have adverse effects. It takes years for them to master. Mr Bourne was not wrong after all. He is truly the Divine doctor.
Bella’s heart rate and breathing became stable, Alex moved close to her, he carefully took out the needles and wiped the blood that came out of the spot. “Come and take a look at her.” Alex said.
Donald and Anna rushed to their daughter’ side, her Vitals were back and she had opened her eyes.
They were overjoyed and they fell on their knees.
“Thank you so much, Divine Doctor.” We will never forget what you have done for our family.”
“Many doctors had told us to lose up on her but you had just woken her up with just opening her eyes after a long time. Only the heavens can tell how grateful I am for this that you have done for me and my family. I will never forget you and your sister that introduced you to me.”
“The treatment has not ended for her, you still need to get a few herbs for her.” Alex wrote down the names on a paper plus their prescriptions and handed it to Donald, “She only needs to take this for three days and will be completely fine.”
“I will be sure to follow your instructions,” Donald., said.
Dr Norton who seems to just recover from the shock of ever also knelt down in front of Alex, “I am sorry for doubting your skills, Divine Doctor. Please ignore my rude remarks earlier. Please take me in as your apprentice.”

Chapter 180- Princess Serena disappears
The night was quiet—but it was the kind of quiet that carried tension in every leaf, every gust of wind.A silence that did not soothe, but waited.Thea Walton walked alone along the marble-lined walkway of the eastern courtyard. Her boots were silent against the stone, but her heartbeat was not. It pounded beneath her ribs with a stubborn rhythm that refused to settle.She had not seen Alex since the royal edict was declared.She had stood three steps behind him when the Crown Prince raised his voice and placed a scroll in his hands.She had watched as the palace bowed to him—an outsider, a healer, a threat—and had said nothing when her fellow generals whispered questions in her direction.But it wasn’t jealousy.Not entirely.It was something heavier.Something harder to name.She climbed the stairs to the private terrace just above the Flame Pavilion. There, surrounded by a half-circle of plum trees, stood Alex Cole, alone.He was facing away from her, his hands clasped behind his
Chapter 179 - Four times
The throne chamber was not usually this quiet.But on this morning, no one dared to speak out of turn.The long ceremonial hall, gilded with beams of gold lacquer and painted phoenixes, stood bathed in soft sunlight that filtered through tall stained-glass windows. Every footstep echoed. Every breath was measured.A select gathering had been called.Not a full council meeting—no, this was something rarer.A Strategic Royal Audience, convened solely at the will of the Crown Prince.Seated at the base of the throne dais were General Earlton, Lady Thea Walton, and four court physicians. The rest of the benches were filled by trusted intelligence officers, security masters, and two elders summoned at the last hour.At the center of the chamber stood Alex Cole, his posture straight, his expression unreadable. He wore the same black-silver robe gifted to him during the flower refinement trial. The inner hall lighting gleamed faintly off the phoenix embroidery on his collar.The whispers had

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
