Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 115
Alex Cole walked down the quiet sidewalk near the southern quarter, hands in his robe pockets, his expression unreadable. Streetlights cast soft glows over the pavement, and traffic had finally thinned after the chaos of the medical assembly.He didn’t regret a word he said.Reed Clove had opened his mouth like a fool and left with it shut. That was enough for Alex.He turned down a corner, about to head toward his temporary apartment when his communicator buzzed again.He pulled it out and glanced at the caller ID.Hannah Stone.He stared at the name for a second.Thea Walton’s right hand.Her personal assistant, handler, and rumor had it, her attack dog in a dress.Alex debated ignoring it, but curiosity got the better of him.He accepted the call.“Alex Cole,” came the clipped, polished voice on the other end. “You certainly stirred up the hall tonight.”He didn’t answer.Hannah didn’t seem to care.“Lord Walton has asked me to extend a formal invitation. Dinner. Tomorrow evening,
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 116 - Ten dates
Alex's phone was ringing, He checked the screen.Tina Snow.He narrowed his eyes.It had been a while since her name appeared.The last time they spoke, she threw an engagement dinner for a man who never proposed, waved around a childhood promise like it was holy scripture, and demanded marriage like she was issuing a royal decree.He let the call ring for a few seconds.Then he answered it.He didn’t speak first.“Took you long enough,” Tina’s voice came through, smooth and sweet — but lined with something sharper underneath. “I was starting to think you forgot your fiancée.”Alex didn’t sigh, didn’t groan, didn’t even blink.“Didn’t realize we were calling each other that now,” he said plainly.“We always were,” Tina replied without missing a beat. “You just forgot. I remembered for both of us.”Alex said nothing.Tina’s voice dropped slightly in tone . not flirtatious, not playful. Calculated.“Let’s skip the games, Alex. I’ve thought about it. You’re busy. You’re proud. You don’t

Victor Miller adjusted his tie for the third time.“Relax, dear,” Rena whispered, smoothing the front of his jacket. “You look fine. Handsome as ever.”Victor gave a nervous chuckle, still scanning the office around him. “Raymond Bourne inviting us? Just like that? No warning? No message? Hah… something big’s about to drop.”Rena clutched her purse tighter, her earrings catching the soft overhead light as she glanced around. “This office is gorgeous. Look at that sculpture! Is that real bronze?”They sat in a long, cold corridor outside Raymond Bourne’s top-floor executive office. The carpet was red. The walls were matte black, and two armored guards stood at the elevator like statues.Victor checked his watch again. Twenty-nine minutes.Still no sign of their host.He looked over at Rena and whispered, “You think he wants to buy in? Like a joint venture? Maybe merge the cargo line?”Rena’s eyes glittered. “Or maybe he wants to use your warehouse network for his trade division. You’ve

The room was heavy with silence. Victor Miller’s jaw was set, his fists clenched at his sides. He didn’t speak. He didn’t even breathe.It was Rena who finally broke the stillness.“Mr. Bourne,” she said gently. “With all due respect… do you know who you’re asking us to move against?”Raymond didn’t blink. “Alex Cole.”Rena stepped forward, one palm pressed lightly against the surface of the glass desk.“He’s connected to Carl Moretti.”Ray raised an eyebrow, almost amused. “And?”“He’s been seen speaking to him. Carl’s backed him publicly.” Ray let out a short breath — not quite a laugh.“Carl Moretti is a dog,” he said bluntly. “A loyal mutt who barks when Donald whistles.”Rena’s mouth opened slightly.Ray’s tone sharpened. “My older brother keeps Carl on a leash because he’s useful. Nothing more. You think I’m worried about what he might do if some healer gets shuffled off to another city?”He leaned back again, a slow smirk curling his lip.“Carl’s not going to start a war over
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 119 - The smiths
(Jade Communicator is a phone, gaiz)Alex put down the jade communicator.Carl Moretti was already on his way.Not even ten minutes had passed when the front door opened. Carl walked in with his usual calm expression, but tonight, there was something tense about him. He sat down across from Alex without waiting for tea or small talk."Speak," Alex said, leaning forward slightly.Carl didn’t hesitate."There’s trouble brewing. Someone from the Scalebound Treaty has finally decided to make a move."Alex raised a brow. "Who?"Carl met his eyes. "Wade Smith."The name meant nothing to Alex. He waited.Carl sighed. "You wouldn’t know him. He stays away from the public eye. Wade Smith is one of the old heads in the Treaty… one of the remaining giants. He owns the Smith Family Hospital, the largest privately-owned medical institution in Mericania. Powerful, respected, and dangerous."Alex’s gaze remained flat. "What’s he planning?"Carl folded his arms. "He’s sending his three sons to Trim C
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 120 - Regal updo
Riss Smith arrived in Trim City before dawn.His arrival caused whispers to ripple through the noble quarter, though he made no effort to conceal it. Clad in blue robes embroidered with silver thread and a golden family crest, he stepped out of the private carriage drawn by four storm-horned horses, flanked by two young stewards carrying boxes of wrapped items.He did not look left or right. His gaze remained fixed ahead, his chin slightly raised, as though the city beneath his feet should feel honored.At the gates of the Dragon Order compound, he was stopped.The guards crossed their halberds."Halt. This is restricted ground."Riss raised a single brow. "Inform Lady Walton that Riss Smith has arrived to offer gifts and intentions.""We don't take orders from outsiders," one of the men replied.Riss smiled faintly. "Then perhaps she should consider hiring men who know when to recognize a ladder being lowered to them."The insult didn’t go unnoticed.The guards’ expressions darkened,
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 121 - Until you give up
Becca looked Tina up and down, her eyes flicking between the silver dress and the expressionless man beside her.She didn’t look intimidated.If anything, her mouth curled."Tina," she said with a sugary voice, "you must be joking. You’re here with him? Do you know who this is?"Tina raised an eyebrow. "I don’t recall asking for your opinion."Becca folded her arms and laughed. "You think he’s special? He’s a gold digger, Tina. The man floats from one rich girl to another in this city. Trust me, he’s not new to this game. He goes where the money is."Alex remained silent.The manager looked uneasy, shifting his weight between his polished shoes.Becca kept going, her voice rising with every sentence. "He tried the same thing with Molly, my best friend. Played her for a fool. Acted innocent, acted poor, then tried to attach himself to her like a leech. Thank God she had sense. I’m just trying to save you from embarrassment."Tina’s expression remained neutral, but her voice turned ice-
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 122 - Suspicious transactions
Vonn Smith did not send a formal letter, nor did he use one of the official channels.He simply called.Thea Walton picked up, her expression unreadable as she held the phone to her ear."Lady Walton," his voice came deep and relaxed. "I would like to meet. Tonight.""You’ve just arrived in the city, and you’re already asking for meetings?""Time is precious. You and I are important people. Let’s not waste it."Thea’s brows drew slightly, but her voice remained calm. "Location?"Vonn gave the name of a hotel."Understood," she said and ended the call.She had already gotten word of the Smith brothers and their intent. Riss had come first, trying to dazzle her with rare medicines and poetic arrogance. She hadn’t liked it. But Vonn, she suspected, would be different.And perhaps worse.An hour later, Thea stepped into the private restaurant room Vonn had reserved. Two stewards stood at the door. They bowed but did not speak.Thea entered alone.Vonn was already seated.Unlike Riss, who

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
Chapter 151 - Conditions
Miller wasn’t truly concerned whether Alex succeeded in getting him the board position or not. In fact, deep down, he hoped Alex failed. That way, it would provide him the perfect excuse to sever all ties with him completely. He didn’t want to be tethered directly or indirectly to Carl Moretti. The mafia’s shadow was already long and dark over Trim City, and Miller had narrowly survived too many storms to let himself get dragged into another one. His reputation was hanging by a thread, and he knew better than to let it fray.So when Alex had pleaded for a second chance, Miller hadn’t outright said no but his agreement had come with a heavy undertone of reluctance. It was strategic, not sentimental. If Alex pulled through, fine. If he didn’t, it would be the final nail, and Miller would be done with him.With that tension still hovering in the air, Alex returned to Tina’s office that afternoon. Not for business this time, but for their date the second of ten they had both agreed t
Chapter 150 - Envision 🙂
As soon as Miller walked out of Tina Snow’s office, Alex rushed after him.“Uncle Miller!” he called out to him.Miller stopped in his tracks and turned to face him. He was still visibly pissed.“I’m sorry about what happened the other day. Uncle, I know no excuse would be enough. After all, it was my fault for not checking in before going to your house,” Alex apologized sincerely.Miller sniffed. He already knew the truth that his wife had framed Alex but he wasn’t about to tell him that. He didn’t want to lose face in front of the boy.He squared his shoulders. The resentment inside him simmered down a little as he remembered all that he had lost his ties with Raymond Bourne, and the respect he once commanded.He was highly happy that Bourne had met up with him, besides he had also pictured the opportunities that would flock around him because of his relationship with Ray.But instead, it caused him more harm than anyone could envision but somehow he was able to vindicate himself. T
Chapter 149 - Someone like Alex.
Tina’s voice sliced through the tension in the room like a blade.“That was rude, Miller. You don’t speak to people like that, especially not someone like Alex.”Her brows were drawn together in disapproval, her arms crossed tightly over her chest as she glared at the man seated across from her. She looked every bit the confident, assertive woman people knew her to be fierce, sharp-tongued, and used to having things go her way. Miller, on the other hand, looked unimpressed. He merely lifted his eyes toward her and gave a scoff, like her words held no weight.“I didn’t ask for his opinion,” Miller replied flatly. “If someone barges into a meeting unannounced, they should be prepared for how they’re received.”Alex, standing just near the door, seemed caught between staying and saying more, or simply slipping out to avoid escalating the situation. He bowed his head slightly, voice soft and apologetic.“I’m sorry for interrupting,” Alex said, his tone calm and respectful despite the obv
Chapter 148 - Investment List
Alex changed into a sharp, formal tuxedo as he prepared for his date with Tina. While tying his cufflinks, his thoughts drifted silently to Victor Miller. He was heading to Tina Snow’s company an hour before their scheduled date not by coincidence, but by design. He needed time to find Miller and speak with him before anything else.A part of him considered asking for forgiveness after all, the misunderstanding between them wasn’t truly his fault, but it had still caused damage. Yet, the idea of bringing it up felt strange, given that it stemmed from Rena’s false accusations. What would Miller even say? Would he believe him now?Still, Alex couldn’t shake the feeling that he owed the man something.Carl had recently informed him that Raymond Bourne was one of the influential figures who approved the list of companies eligible for investment from the Snow family’s enterprise. Since the Bourne family held significant shares in Snow’s company, Raymond’s word carried weight.Carl also rev
Chapter 147 - Bankruptcy
Alex sat patiently at the bus stop, waiting for Sean to show up at the same place where he had dropped him off the last time they met. Honestly, he hadn’t expected Sean to reach out again after how things had ended between them.When Sean finally arrived, he looked a little better than the last time, though the stress was still evident on his face.“Hmmm… How have you been all these years?” Sean asked, taking a seat beside him. “I see you managed to secure some good deals for yourself.”Sean was aware of what had happened behind the scenes. He knew how Alex’s extended family had swooped in to take control of his father’s businesses and stripped Alex and his sister of their rightful inheritance. He added with a light chuckle, “You even managed to repurchase your father’s car, huh?”That wasn’t public knowledge, but Sean had always been close enough to the Cole family to know more than most.Alex smirked. “Good bands, huh? That’s funny coming from you, Sean. Isn’t your family still doi
Chapter 146 - Old classmate
“He had openly declared that I wasn't worth being at the event, in front of every doctor present in there,” Alex added.Roman faced Reed, he had sent him to represent him at that event and he didn't know that he had done such a thing. Even if this was not done against the Divine doctor’s precious student, it was wrong to do that to anyone.“How dare you treat a doctor like that in public, you didn't even do that to just anyone but Doctor Cole. Even if it was a junior Doctor, it is wrong to do that any one.” Roman scolded him.Reed was too scared and he could not utter any words in his defense.“I am so sorry that he had done that to you Doctor Alex. I don’t think what I am about to say will help make this up to you but it is the least I could do to ease things up.” Roman Reign said apologetically, “You may decide what his punishment is because he needs to be taught a lesson to never disrespect any doctor in his life.”“Forbid him from using the skills he had learned from your medical
Chapter 145 - Immobile
It was the day Master Dustin had appointed Alex to meet his old acquaintance from the medical world. He had arrived promptly, at the address that his master had given him. He knew how much Dustin cared about being early to anywhere they had to go even when he was still learning from him and they were attending to the regular people in the medical village.When he arrived at the Old man’s acquaintance's residence, he was welcomed by the gateman, who let him drive in without questioning him.Alex parked his car by the main door and got out, he rang the doorbell, after a few seconds, some elderly man showed up by the door and pushed the door open.That was Master Roman Reigns, he had been patiently waiting for Alex to arrive since his old friend had told him that he was going to come to show up.With a wide grin on his face, he smiled at Alex, “Dr Cole, I am glad you were able to make it here without losing direction even with your busy schedule."It was quite hard to locate Roman Reig
Chapter 144 - We will get him
The alley behind the gallery was too quiet. That should’ve been Alex’s first clue. But he didn’t flinch.Dressed in black and moving like a shadow, he strolled through the narrow lane that reeked of garbage and cheap perfume. Neon signs flickered overhead. Somewhere in the distance, a party throbbed with music and laughter. But here? Silence. Stillness.A perfect place for a setup.He adjusted the cuff of his shirt and paused in the middle of the alley.That’s when the men stepped out, six of them, all bulk and muscle, dressed like plain thugs but too synchronized to be random street trouble. One cracked his knuckles. Another pulled a metal rod from beneath his coat.“These guys really needs to stop hiring amateurs,” Alex muttered under his breath.A slow clap echoed through the alley.Gisele came on first, heels clicking as she walked in like this was a stage built just for her. A red satin dress hugged her curves, and her smirk was sharper than any weapon. James followed, less styl
