Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 127 - Orphanage
Alex stood in front of the mirror, adjusting the collar of his clean white shirt.His hair was combed, his shoes clean, and his cologne subtle. He checked his watch. He still had twenty minutes before he was supposed to pick Tina up.The last time they saw each other, things had ended on a tense note. But she had reached out, apologized, and asked for another chance. He agreed. Today was supposed to be that second chance.His phone buzzed on the table.Alex picked it up.It was a message from an unfamiliar number."This is Hannah Stone. Lady Walton would like you to come for lunch today. She has something important to discuss with you. Regarding Lord Thor Walton."Another message followed immediately."This time, we are not taking no for an answer."Alex narrowed his eyes.The tone was direct, almost aggressive. Hannah’s reputation as Thea’s right hand was well-known. She didn’t sugarcoat anything, and she certainly didn’t waste time repeating herself.But it was the second part of th
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 128 - You did well
The morning sun had just begun its slow climb, casting honey-colored rays upon the bustling roads of Trim City. Inside the luxury sedan, the air was silent, save for the soft hum of the engine and the occasional shift of tires on asphalt.Tina Snow sat beside Alex Cole with a demure expression, her hands folded on her lap, her posture elegant and composed. She wore a soft fragrance today, something faint and unfamiliar. The kind of scent that did not announce itself but lingered gently, just enough to be remembered.She had spoken only once since he entered the car.“I’m taking you somewhere,” she said, a mysterious smile playing on her lips. “But you’ll have to wait and see.”He did not press for details. He simply leaned back in his seat and allowed the silence to stretch between them like a fragile thread. His eyes occasionally drifted to her reflection in the window. She was dressed like no version of Tina Snow he had seen before. No bright lipstick. No high heels sharp enough to
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 129 - Duke Lin
The wind that blew through the Walton Estate carried the scent of trimmed rose bushes and the faint sting of polished steel. The sky had long faded from blue to amber, and the estate grounds were already bathed in a warm, orange glow as dusk crept in from the hills.Inside the sitting room of the Walton main residence, two women sat with very different expressions.Thea Walton, the War God of Mericania, sat in quiet poise. Her military-styled coat rested on the back of her seat, revealing the sleeveless black dress that clung to her form. Her eyes were narrowed slightly, but not from anger she was deep in thought. Still, beneath her stillness, an undeniable impatience lingered.Beside her, Hannah Stone paced the room in tight, agitated circles. Every third step, she would stop, whirl around, and begin her rant again with renewed vigor.“This is ridiculous,” Hannah snapped, flicking her long dark hair behind her shoulder. “How long have we been waiting? Twenty minutes? Thirty?”Thea d
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 130 - And all three of you want her
The dining hall of the Smith estate was a temple of wealth and power. Golden chandeliers dripped light from above like molten stars. The table beneath them was a stretch of mahogany longer than most banquet halls in the city, polished to the point where one's reflection could be seen in its surface. At the head of it all, Wade Smith sat like an emperor enthroned.Trim City's wealthiest medical tycoon. A man with power not only in hospitals and pharmaceuticals but also across underground networks and private research organizations that stretched beyond Mericania’s borders.His three sons sat along the table, each one radiating a different flavor of ambition.Riss Smith, the eldest, with his golden cufflinks and prideful eyes. He wore his tailored suit like it was armor. Vonn Smith, the second, was more refined, quieter, but with a sharpness in his gaze that betrayed a calculating nature. And then, there was King, the youngest, but the most brash. His smile could disarm any woman, but h
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 131 - Tina's ex returns
Tina stood by the window, her delicate fingers wrapped around a porcelain teacup that had long gone cold. The early morning sun streamed through the sheer curtains, turning her soft beige robe into a glowing silhouette. Her thoughts were distant, but her lips wore a smile, the kind that still lingered from the night before.The memory of the orphanage was still fresh.Alex Cole’s voice, his steady hands when he helped carry the supply crates, the way the children laughed and clung to his sleeves. Most of all, his words.You did well.It wasn’t flattery.It wasn’t indulgence.It was honest. Direct. Alex Cole had looked her in the eyes, not as prey, not as a woman he had to avoid, but as someone worth recognizing.And then there were his last words before she dropped him off at the intersection.I wouldn’t mind seeing it again. The place. The kids. You.She had replayed that line so many times it echoed now more than her own heartbeat.She had won a small piece of ground in his heart. I
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 132 - How to get Thea
The golden lamps in Riss Smith’s private study glowed with a quiet menace, casting stretched shadows across the leather-bound books and antique chess board that adorned the far wall. He sat behind a carved blackwood desk, a glass of golden whiskey in one hand, and a sealed envelope in the other.His father’s words still echoed in his mind like a mantra.“The one who marries Thea Walton… inherits it all.”Forty-seven hospitals. Pharmaceutical dynasties. Medical research empires. Titles. Legacy. Power.And all that stood between him and the throne was a woman who refused to kneel.Thea Walton.She wasn’t just beautiful. She was dangerous. She had honor braided into her spine and stubbornness carved into her bones. She was not the type to be wooed with roses and poetry. Her heart was forged in battlefields, not ballrooms.And Riss Smith… he was a tactician, not a poet.But this time, he couldn’t rely on brute wealth or cold strategy. No. Thea Walton would not fall like other women had.T
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 133 - A Smith
Thea Walton was not one to entertain second chances.But King Smith was not like other men. he was a smith, a man that was from a fmaily that beffitted her title compared to that of alex.When he showed up at Walton Medical Headquarters uninvited, bearing a silver case of rare healing herbs from the Eastern Isles, the guards paused, but Thea didn’t send him away. Not immediately.He had come dressed in charcoal gray, no flamboyant cologne, no flashy rings, no entourage. For once, his hair was combed back neatly, and he carried himself with a seriousness that almost didn’t fit.Almost.Standing before her office doors with a slight tilt of his head, he waited for acknowledgment. When it came, he stepped forward and spoke, not with arrogance, but something close to humility.“I behaved poorly last time,” he said, voice low. “I came to you as a man chasing a trophy, not a partner. For that, I apologize.”Thea stared at him without emotion, hands folded behind her back.“And what do you w
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 134 - She is here
The atmosphere inside the Smith Mansion was tense with unsaid words and rising testosterone. The grandiose living room, adorned with gold accents and oil paintings of past generations, echoed with the subtle sound of polished shoes pacing on marble. King Smith strolled in with a noticeable swagger, the corner of his lips curled with a self-satisfied smirk.He threw his jacket carelessly onto the velvet couch and plopped down like he owned the entire world.“Where have you been?” Vonn asked, arms crossed, standing in front of the fireplace. His deep voice vibrated with restrained irritation.King didn’t answer right away. Instead, he reached for the crystal decanter on the glass table, poured himself a drink, and sipped it slowly. Theatrics. He wanted to be seen. He wanted them to notice.“I just came back from seeing her,” King finally said, deliberately emphasizing the pronoun as if Thea Walton had become some sort of divine entity to be worshipped.Vonn’s nostrils flared. “You went

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
