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
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 101 - Light Knock
A few minutes after he got in, he heard a knock on the door. He ignored it thinking it was his cousin and his mom again so he ignored it and went about his business. The knocking stopped and it was followed by a light knock on his room’s window.That prompted him to check who it was. He looked outside to see that it was. It was Molly that was throwing stones at the window. Just as she was about to throw the next one, he spoke from his room.“Don’t! I will be down there in a minute.”He pulled the door open and she was standing there with the most seductive clothes he had seen her in.“Alex..” she started.“Why are you here? You know you should not be here. You have no business being around me.”Her eyes fell because she wasn’t expecting tan from him, she had thought that her clothes would be the first thing to draw him in but since that didn’t work, she would just have to pull the sympathetic move on him.“I am here to sincerely apologize for the way I have treated you in the past an
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 102 - Unscathed
Kael sat in his private study, his fingers drumming impatiently against the armrest of his chair. It should have been over by now.Thea should have been dead, or at the very least, out of commission long enough for him to step in and claim control of the Dragon Order. He had planned every detail meticulously, ensuring she would be lured into the poisoned ruins with no escape. The gas had been a custom blend, slow-acting but lethal in prolonged exposure. Even if she had survived, she should have been weak, broken, gasping for air.But instead, she had walked out.Walked. Out.Unscathed.Kael's grip tightened around the armrest, his knuckles whitening.He had just received word from his informants. Thea had returned to headquarters, alive and well, albeit slightly shaken. Some of her men had succumbed to the poison, but not her. Not the one who needed to fall.This wasn’t just failure. This was humiliation.A sharp knock on the door interrupted his brooding. He didn’t bother answering
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 103 -Needlework
Roman moved closer to Lord Thor and inserted his mouth to see what Reed was talking about. He could see the traces of the fruit which had already dissolved into his mouth, He turned to face Reed.“That is a Miracle fruit.” Roman exclamation.“Miracle fruit? How dare he attempt to feed Lord Thorn a fruit just because of its name. He must have decided to use it because of its name. He doesn't even know the negative effect that fruit has and how delicate and dangerous it is. It may cause Lord Thor to die any moment from now.” “You speak like an amateur, Reed. The Miracle fruit doesn’t have an adverse effect even when it has been applied properly and from what I can see here, the one who had applied it to him had made use of excellent needle skills on Lord Thor Walton so what is there to worry about?”“Does this mean that the Miracle fruit's poison is being subdued by the needle?”“The needlework made the miracle fruit dissolve into his mouth, since the old man can't chew or drink. The
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 104 - Vaughn
“Minister, what do you have to say for yourself?” Commander Vaughn stormed into Timbersea’s office.He had left his home as early as possible so that he could catch the minister before he got busy. He had rushed down because he knew that Timbersea was going to refuse his visit if he had to go through his secretary.Given his proud nature, he likes to prove to the other members of the Council that he had more power over them. When it came to the council that kept the higher official in Mericania in check, every member of the council had equal power and tgry held anoint authority Outside that, the minister held the highest authority.“I understand that we are equals in the council, but is it not wrong of you to burst into my office like some daylight robber? What happened to courtesy?” Timbersea fired at him.Timered hated Vaughn so much, he hated that though he was a minister, the council had chosen Vaughn over him to be the head of the council.Vaughn would be lying if he says that
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 105 - Big Brown Envelope
Timbersea grabbed onto his shirt. “How do you know about that?”“You know how, Timbersea, except if you choose to lie to yourself about it.” Vaughn smirked as he shoved his hands off him.“Sniffing!” he groaned, clearing the content on his table on the floor. He had let his guard down and they had managed to sniff him out.“This is not the time to throw tantrums, Timbersea. I will only name the conditions that will get me off your back. All you have to do is agree and I’m off.”“Have Kael disappeared back to his turf. Strip him of his title of being a warlord so he never posed a threat to the War God.”“That is extreme!”“I Know the king would have you both executed if he heard about this.” Timbersea said with a gray smile on his face that Timbersea compose himself at once.“The Crimson order and the other factions that exist under you will be dissolved and you will make sure this never happens again!” he said firmly.Then he moved close to him to adjust his shirt. “This envelope ha
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 106 - Emotionless face
Tina opened the envelope up and saw the number Candy attached to it. “She left a number, Ena. I should call it.”“Be careful okay?” Ena warned. "He is a stranger."Tina punched his phone number into her phone and dialed it at once. The recipient picked after two rings.“Hello, I am Tina Snow. Am I on the phone with Alex Cole?” She asked, then the line went silent for a minute, her heart started racing hard as she was patiently waiting for his reaction.Alex on the other end, was thinking about if he knew the person in the past, the name seemed familiar but he could not place where he had heard it first in his head. Well, he was going to find out.He finally spoke back to her “Yes, I am Alex Cole, how may I help you?”“I am Tina, your family friend, we knew each other as a child, because our families were close. We used to hang out a lot as kids.”That triggered Alex’s memory and he remembered a little girl from the Snow's family that was always running after him when they were kids.“
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 107 - Impression
Alex was sitting in the restaurant, waiting for Tina who was supposed to have arrived ten minutes ago, just as he was about to leave, Donald Brouen apparocahed hm, “Alex.” he called, attracted his attention.“Mr Bourne.”He called back after turning to see who had called him.“I knew i had had the right person when I saw your back view. How have you been?”“Good. I hope you and your family members are in good health.”“Yes. Alex, My daughter and my little brother are over there. We came here for a business meeting.”“Ah, I see.”“How about you join us for lunch? Our meeting is over.”Alex didn’t want to have to dine with Raymond after that call he had gotten from him, besides Bella Bourne had been pushing herself on him.“I’m waiting for someone here, I won’t be able to join you for that dinner.” He said firmly.“What a pity, I was really hoping that you joined us but I understand that you have an appointment with someone, my wife was going to ask you to join us for dinner sometime.”

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
