Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 93 - The Crimson Order
"I know many things," he said, shifting forward so his eerie, scarred face caught the dim light. "I know Kael's victory was written before the battle even started. I know you won’t be War God for much longer. And I know... the real war hasn’t even begun."Hannah stiffened beside her. "Enough riddles. If you know something, spill it."Y-Faced let out another laugh, his gaze shifting to Thea. "Tell me, War God... have you ever wondered why Kael rose so fast? How did he gained power so effortlessly?"Thea stayed silent. She had wondered, but admitting it would mean questioning her own position.Y-Faced smirked. "He's not fighting alone. There's a force behind him, something older, deeper... and it's already inside the city."Thea's hands curled into fists. "Who?""You’re asking the wrong question," Y-Faced whispered, stepping back into the darkness. "The real question is... what does Minister Timbersea gain from keeping you in check?"Thea's blood ran cold.Before she could press further
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 94 - The Council
The grand chamber of the War Council was dimly lit, the flickering light of torches casting long, shifting shadows on the marble walls. The room was circular, with a massive wooden table at the center. Thea sat at the head, her hands folded neatly before her. Across from her sat Kael, his smirk barely concealed.To her left was Commander Vaughn, a veteran warrior who had stood by her side when she was chosen as War God. His face was as stern as ever, but his dark eyes held a hint of worry. Next to him sat Lady Mirella, the head of intelligence, her sharp gaze scanning the room, picking up on every movement, every microexpression. Beside her was General Rhoan, an older man with silvered hair, a battle-hardened look on his face.To Kael’s right, a few of his trusted allies sat in silence, including Lord Varrik, one of the minister’s close advisors. There was an air of expectancy in the room, like an unspoken challenge, waiting to be acknowledged.The minister took a seat at the head of
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 95 - Kael
Kael followed Minister Justin Timbersea down the dimly lit corridor, his boots clicking against the marble floor with practiced ease. The hall of the Minister’s estate was silent, save for the distant hum of the city outside. The walls were adorned with ancient war banners, relics from a time when true warriors ruled, not pretenders like Thea. Minister Timbersea didn’t speak until they reached his private chamber, a grand yet suffocating room lined with towering bookshelves and an ornate desk littered with documents. He sank into his chair with a weary sigh, rubbing his temple as if warding off an oncoming headache. Kael, ever composed, remained standing. “You were too soft on her,” Kael finally said, folding his arms across his chest. Timbersea shot him a warning look. “Watch your tongue, boy. I am still your superior.” Kael smirked, unfazed. “And yet, you know I’m right. You gave her 48 hours, 48 hours too many. She’s dangerous, Uncle. The longer she holds that title, the mor
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 96 - Alex visits the Waltons
Alex showed up in front of Thea Walton’s mansion and rang the doorbell. A man in his late forties appeared to open the door, then another voice came up in the background. “Mr Ben, who is at the door?” she yelled.Ben is the Walton’s family butler who is in charge of their household when Thea was busy, he had served their family since he was a little boy.“How may I help you, young man?” the old man asked“My name is Alex Cole and I am here to see Lord Thor Walton.” He said to the old man who seemed to be confused, they had had no guest come to ask of his master in a long time. Especially since he had fallen ill.“It is odd that that is whom you are requesting for,” Reed who was coming from behind Alex replied to him.Ben heaved a little sigh of relief because he didn’t know what to say to such an odd request.“You are the Alex Cole?” Reed asked and squeezed his face as if he had just mentioned some dirt or disgusting thing but Alex did not mind.Hannah who had been expecting Ben to u
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 97 - Tearing apart
Kael sat in the candle-lit study of his private estate, fingers tapping rhythmically against the polished oak table. A decanter of wine sat untouched beside him, its deep crimson reflecting in the dim glow of the room. His mind was too sharp, too focused for indulgence.Thea had 48 hours.Forty-eight hours to track down Y-Faced, to prove her worth once more in the eyes of the council, to maintain her grip on the Dragon Order.Kael intended to make sure she failed.With a flick of his wrist, he gestured to the two men standing before him—Lord Varrik, a high-ranking official within the ministry who had long aligned himself with Kael’s ambitions, and an unnamed informant, draped in dark robes, his face obscured by the flickering candlelight.“Thea will deploy her forces at first light,” Kael began, his voice steady, measured. “She thinks she holds the advantage, that her authority remains unquestioned. That ends now.”Varrik leaned forward, his hands clasped together. “You want to sabota
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 98 - Poison
Thea stood in the command room of the Dragon Order’s headquarters, her hands pressed against the grand wooden table as she studied the map spread before her. The candles flickered, casting long shadows over the parchment as her officers stood at attention, waiting for her command.She had forty-eight hours to retrieve Y-Faced.And now, conflicting reports were pouring in from all over Trim City.One informant swore he had seen Y-Faced in the southern district, lurking in the underground tunnels. Another claimed he was spotted boarding a ship at the docks. Yet another whispered of a hidden safe house in the far north, deep within the ruined outskirts.It didn’t make sense.Thea clenched her jaw. “This isn’t right.”Hannah Stone, her second-in-command, crossed her arms, her face tight with frustration. “It’s deliberate. Someone’s feeding us false leads.”Thea exhaled sharply. “I know. But who?”Hannah hesitated, then shook her head. “Kael.”Thea’s eyes flickered with anger. “Of course,
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 99 - Dancing Powder
Reed frowned as he felt challenged by Alex. he had heard that Thea had refused to marry him or go further with what their parents had planned out for them but this level of guts still pissed him. “I don’t know what your mission is here but I must let you know what a good for nothing man like you has no business around Thea.”He did not fail to hide his ultimate disdain for him. He had only respect in the past because Thea was present but now he is going to give him the piece of his mind.“You should know by now that knowing your place is very important, in the whole of Trim city, even the girls with no titles and jobs will not accept a man like you.” He spat.“Why do you think you have the right to speak to me this way?’ Alex asked him again.“How dare you speak to Young Master in that manner?” Hannah Stone frowned immediately, “Do you have any idea of who you are talking to? If you don’t I will let you know, this is young master Reed, one of the few people who managed to serve Mas
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 100 - Debt
Alex had decided to go in search of one of the ingredients that he needed for Lord Thor Walton’s treatment by himself since he did not have anything going on. After doing some research himself and consulting Carl Moreetti, he got a suitable location to find what he was searching for.The location turned out to be some abandoned industrial area, Carl Moretti offered to go with him or send some men to go with him but Alex refused claiming that the place seemed so dangerous. He might be able to withstand anything that happens there on his own but he was not sure about the boys that Carl was offering to give to him or even bringing Carl along..He drove his car down to the abandoned area he was supposed to go to. Just as he arrived at the site, he saw a few bodies lying down there, helplessly. He moved closer to them and he saw that they were bleeding from their nose.Their uniform seemed familiar, a feminine body caught his attention and she was bleeding from her mouth too, unlike ever

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
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
