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.”
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 108 - Silver Fang
Tina’s words landed with a strange weight, but Alex remained calm in his seat, masking the flicker of confusion beneath his expression.A soft chuckle slipped from his lips. “Is this how people joke around in Trim City? First I’m getting ambushed by war gods, now I’m getting surprise marriage proposals.”Tina’s face didn’t flinch. “It’s not a joke, Alex. We’re engaged. Don’t you remember? You promised to marry me when we were kids. I told you over the phone, and now I’ve brought proof.”She reached into her purse and pulled out a worn, folded piece of paper. She slid it across the table like a winning hand in a high-stakes game.Alex blinked. His gaze dropped to the childish scrawl on the old paper. It was faded, torn around the edges,but unmistakably his signature was there, written in messy ink.He exhaled slowly. The memory hit him like a whisper from the past. He had been around nine or ten. Tina had been chasing him relentlessly around the village, pestering him day after day. De
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 109 - Vales of Echoes
Alex didn’t sleep deeply. His eyes had been closed, but his mind never rested. The silver-fanged token from Elder Ruvan sat quietly on the glass table near his bed, its glow faint but steady.He got up before the sun. The room was quiet, high above the noise of Trim City. He took a long look out the window. Something inside him knew, whatever he walked into now, he wouldn’t be the same when he came out.He didn't pack much. Just his pouch with two vials: one healing serum and one antidote. Not because he was scared, but because it was a habit. Life had taught him to carry something sharp, something quiet, and something that could save his life.Ruvan said, “Come alone. Bring nothing.”Alex would come alone.But empty-handed? Never.He left the hotel the quiet way, using the back stairs and service exit. A few staff nodded at him. None asked questions. One cleaner glanced at him longer than usual, then looked away. Alex ignored it. He always noticed more than he let on, but today wasn’
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 110 - Cloudshroud Mountain
The light in the sky had not yet broken through the forest canopy when Alex Cole opened his eyes. He had not slept the entire night. Instead, he had spent hours sitting by the shallow pond in the heart of the Vale of Echoes, watching as mist swirled over the surface like the breath of something ancient.Elder Ruvan’s voice broke through the silence. “The Vale is watching you.”Alex did not turn around. “I know.”Elder Ruvan walked closer, hands folded behind his back. He was not a man of many expressions, but even he was struggling to conceal the intrigue behind his eyes.“You have passed through the Gate of Silence. The Vale does not grant access to just anyone. The seal you awakened yesterday… it belongs to a path no one has walked for over three centuries.”Alex slowly rose to his feet. His robe was soaked from the dew on the grass, but he didn’t mind. The pendant that Freya had given him had disappeared the moment it merged into the seal’s altar. His chest still carried the warmth
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 111 - Corrupted qi
Alex Cole moved swiftly through the woods at the edge of the Vale, the scroll from Elder Ruvan secured tightly in his inner robe. His steps were silent, and his thoughts focused.The path to Cloudshroud Mountain was narrow and almost invisible to the untrained eye. Moss-covered rocks and twisting vines tried to hide the trail from outsiders. But Alex could now see the energy veins beneath the ground, the pulsing flow of spiritual current guiding his every step.The knowledge that had entered his body in the Cavern of Reflection was not like anything he had studied in the medicine village. It had embedded itself into his meridians, flowing like a second breath inside him. His eyes saw more than they should have. His skin felt more than it ever had. His sense of energy, balance, and danger had heightened to levels he never experienced before.But this power came with a warning.He could now sense presences even when they were far away.And there was one such presence following him.He
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 112 - Returns home with nothing
Alex’s fingers brushed the petal of the White Snake Flower.A pulse ran up his arm.Warm at first, then sharp.It wasn’t just energy. It was recognition.The flower knew who he was.The black roots around it retracted completely, curling back into the earth like snakes returning to a nest. The petals, now pure white again, opened slowly. They gave off a faint shimmer that danced in the mist. It was unlike anything Alex had seen or studied. No drawing or description in the medicine village matched this exact glow.He plucked the flower gently.There was no resistance. No flash. No pain. The stem separated smoothly from the earth.Alex held it in his hand, staring at it for a few seconds.Then he turned and walked back toward the archway.The Shadow Temple men had vanished. Not a trace of their presence remained. Even their corrupted qi had dissolved into the wind.Nara was still standing where she had been earlier, her face pale and her breath unsteady.“You really did it,” she said. H
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 113 - Heavy Chest
Alex Cole stepped off the transport array, the dense energy of Trim City brushing against his senses like a stale fog. The lights were bright, the air thick with modern noise and city dust. For a moment, he stood still, his robes rustling in the breeze. The journey back from the mountains had been quiet, but his thoughts were anything but.He had returned empty-handed.The White Snake Flower was gone. Used. Spent.Lord Walton still lay on his sickbed.And Alex hadn’t rested in two days.Just as he turned toward the main road, his jade communicator buzzed inside his robe. He glanced at it, the familiar pulse of his master’s call lighting up the screen.He hesitated, then answered.“Disciple,” Master Dustin’s voice rang out, as calm and collected as always. “You're back in the city.”Alex nodded. “Just arrived.”“Good. I need you to attend something.”Alex narrowed his eyes. “Old man, I haven’t even….” He then connected the dopt that Dustin was aware that he had met someone at the black
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 114 - Mediocre Doctor
The noise in the hall died down as Reed stepped confidently onto the stage, Thea by his side.The announcer cleared his throat and raised the mic. “Please welcome our keynote guest for tonight’s Mericania Medical Assembly Mr. Reed, representing the Reigns Medical Group.”Applause followed, but it was polite, nothing more.Reed let go of Thea’s hand, straightened his jacket, and walked to the podium like he owned the room. His eyes scanned the crowd, a crooked smirk tugging at the edge of his mouth. His gaze lingered just a little longer when it passed over Alex Cole standing silently near the back wall.Thea took a seat near the front. She crossed her legs and folded her arms, her face unreadable.Reed adjusted the mic.He didn’t speak right away.He just looked around, letting the silence stretch until people leaned forward in their chairs.“Good evening,” he finally said. “I was told I’d be giving a speech to a room full of Mericania’s finest. Men and women of honor. Of skill. Of re

Chapter 160 - Jealousy
Thea was already in the dojo when Alex arrived.She stood in the center of the mat, arms crossed, foot tapping impatiently against the wooden floor. Her hair was pulled back into a tight ponytail, and her eyes narrowed the moment the door slid open and he stepped through.Alex moved with his usual lazy grace, one hand tucked casually in his pocket, the other swinging a water bottle loosely at his side. He looked refreshed, relaxed, and completely unbothered by the fact that he was several minutes late.Thea's eyes narrowed further."Nice of you to finally show up," she said, her voice sharp enough to cut glass.Alex raised an eyebrow as he tossed the bottle onto a bench against the wall. "Morning to you too."She didn't smile. "Let me guess. Late because you had a busy night?"Alex tilted his head slightly, pretending to think. "Define busy."Thea scoffed, the sound sharp and bitter. "I saw you yesterday. With her. You were too busy playing chauffeur for your girlfriend to bother show
Chapter 159
Thea was still leaning against the far wall of the dojo when the door slid open quietly. She straightened instinctively, wiping the emotion from her face as General Earlton entered. The older woman moved with a calm, powerful grace that made it clear she didn’t need to raise her voice or brandish a weapon to command respect. Her gaze flickered briefly between Alex and Thea, as if weighing the temperature of the room.Without a word, Earlton walked to the center of the mat and stood there, her hands clasped lightly behind her back. Thea noticed the faint bulge under her robe, but said nothing.Alex, always observant, stepped forward first. He moved into position without needing to be told, standing a respectful few paces from Earlton, his posture straight but relaxed.Earlton smiled slightly, the kind of smile that held more warning than warmth."Stand still," she said to him.Alex gave a slight nod, his face expressionless.Thea folded her arms, skeptical. Whatever this was, she doub
Chapter 158 - When you are ready
Alex watched Thea’s chest rise and fall as she struggled to hold her stance. Her arms were tight against her sides, her breathing shallow, impatient. She wasn’t used to standing still. Her body screamed for motion, for action, but Alex gave no command to strike.He circled her slowly, hands folded behind his back, observing every muscle twitch with a detached calm that made Thea grind her teeth."Focus on the breath," Alex said."I'm focused enough," Thea snapped."Then you wouldn’t be shifting your weight like a drunk soldier," he said without raising his voice.Her nostrils flared. She straightened, forcing her heels to root into the ground as he had instructed earlier, but her mind raced ahead to the sparring she expected. She wasn't here to meditate. She was a fighter, not a monk."Again," Alex said.Thea closed her eyes and tried to inhale as slowly as he had demonstrated: steady, filling her lungs from the diaphragm, not the chest. It felt unnatural. It felt wrong. She could be
Chapter 157 - Breathing exercise
The floor of the dojo creaked softly beneath their feet as Thea followed Alex into the training space. The dim amber light of morning filtered through the paper-paneled windows, casting long rectangles of golden warmth across the tatami mats. Incense from an earlier offering still lingered faintly, curling in wisps near the rafters.Alex walked calmly to the center of the room and turned to face her. His expression was unreadable, calm but not cold. There was a certain serenity about him in this space, as if the dojo answered to him more than the other way around.Thea, however, stood with arms crossed, one booted foot tapping with restless irritation."We start with breathing," Alex said, voice low but firm. "Three rounds. Inhale, hold, exhale. Center your energy."Thea rolled her eyes. "I didn’t come here to chant and do yoga, Alex. Let’s get to the part where I wipe the floor with you."He ignored the jab. "Your core isn’t balanced. Your last two battles showed that. You lead with
Chapter 156 - Come in when you are ready.
The mist clung low to the earth like a forgotten veil, drifting in wisps between the slender trunks of the ancient trees that stood as silent sentinels around General Earlton’s secluded estate. Dawn had only begun to breathe over the horizon, and the sky wore a faded palette of violet and gray, cut through with the slow awakening of golden light.The gravel crunched under Thea Walton’s boots as she walked up the winding path to the main house, shoulders stiff beneath her military jacket. She had always been punctual, but today, she had made sure to be early out of both habit and curiosity. General Earlton had summoned her with strict orders to report before sunrise. No details. No explanation. Just come.As the main house came into view, Thea slowed her pace. The silhouette of a man stood at the edge of the porch, hands in his pockets, posture relaxed like he’d been waiting for a while.Alex Cole.He was wearing a simple black long-sleeved shirt rolled at the forearms, paired with l
Chapter 155 - Earlton's request
The sun had slipped below the treetops, casting long, bronze shadows across the quiet estate of . The air smelled faintly of herbs and polished wood, earthy and grounding. A modest dinner table had been set outside under the arbor, where fireflies blinked lazily and cicadas hummed through the dense hush of forest twilight.Alex sat opposite General Earlton and her granddaughter, Sisi. The meal was simple: steamed greens, rice, and a fragrant stew that hinted of ginseng and lotus. Sisi chatted comfortably, teasing both her grandmother and Alex in equal measure. Alex offered quiet responses, trying not to seem too detached.After the final bites were taken, Sisi collected the plates. “I’ll wash up,” she said with a smile. “You two obviously have serious grown-up things to talk about.”Earlton gave a small nod of thanks, then turned to Alex as her granddaughter disappeared inside.“You didn’t come to Trim City for politics or fame,” she said without preamble. Her voice was calm, but its
Chapter 154 - Two weeks
The dojo smelled of incense and aged wood. The light inside was dim, shaded by hanging scrolls and translucent paper windows that bathed everything in a warm, amber glow. Hannah stood awkwardly at the center of the floor, her boots planted firmly on the polished surface, but her confidence wavering slightly under the penetrating gaze of the woman in front of her.General Earlton was not what she expected. The stories had painted her as an ancient recluse, a sorceress buried beneath layers of wisdom and mystery. But the woman seated cross-legged on the meditation mat was sharp-eyed and formidable. Her silver hair was pulled tightly into a braid that hung over her shoulder, and she wore a sleeveless black gi, revealing powerful, weathered arms inscribed with ancient martial runes. A golden snake-shaped cuff rested on her left bicep a relic from her final campaign during the War of the Red Valley.Hannah swallowed hard. She had stood before war generals, court officials, and high-ranki
Chapter 153 - General Earlton
The Walton family SUV pulled into a secluded private estate hidden deep within the outskirts of Trim City. Unlike the extravagant displays of wealth that dominated the city, gold-plated gates, surveillance drones, fountains carved from pure crystal, this compound was modest, covered by the whisper of forest trees and protected by a mist that never lifted entirely. The air was heavy with a calm, almost otherworldly pressure, like the land itself was ancient and sentient.Thea stepped out of the car with a stern expression. She wore her full black War God uniform an armored coat lined with silver embroidery and a long red scarf that fluttered with the wind. Her short hair was tied up neatly, and her commanding aura had not diminished despite the casualness of the visit.Behind her, Hannah, her ever-loyal assistant, followed while inspecting the area with sharp, curious eyes. Dressed in a more modern military style, Hannah was the perfect contrast to Thea blunt, emotional, and unapolog
Chapter 152 - Roommates
Alex leaned against the polished marble counter of the upscale lounge, watching the bartender pour a neat whiskey into his glass. The air was thick with low chatter, soft jazz humming through the speakers, and the flicker of candlelight bouncing off wine glasses. It was the kind of place he usually reserved for business meetings or quiet nights of reflection, but tonight had a different energy. Tonight was about celebrating.He looked up just in time to spot Sean walking in, a confident smile stretched across his face. The two locked eyes, and Alex grinned, raising his glass slightly in greeting.“You look like a man with good news,” Alex said as Sean approached.Sean chuckled and took the seat beside him. “Better than good, man. I got the job.”“No way!” Alex set his drink down and clapped Sean on the back, genuinely thrilled. “You got it?”“Assistant manager,” Sean said, pride and disbelief mingling in his voice. “Can you imagine? Me?”“Hell yes, I can imagine,” Alex replied, signal
