Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 135 - Lawfully.
A slow silence settled over the ornate hallway, as Thea Walton’s words reverberated off the walls. Her piercing gaze moved from one brother to the next, waiting—expecting—a scramble. Maybe even a power grab.But what she got was something entirely different.Riss Smith, the eldest and the quietest of the trio, took a step forward. His face was unreadable, cold and unmoving, as though he were carved from marble. He looked Thea straight in the eye, not with awe or admiration, but something cooler… more calculating.“No,” he said flatly.Thea blinked. “Excuse me?”“I said no,” Riss repeated, his voice calm but final. “We won’t be competing for your affection or favor under your terms. We’ll do this among ourselves, the way brothers should.”King’s jaw tightened. Vonn shifted where he stood.Thea’s brows furrowed slightly. She hadn’t expected this especially not from the most stoic of the three.King stepped forward next, standing shoulder to shoulder with Riss. “I may be cocky, but I’m n
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 136 - Chastity
“The War God got some balls to actually walk in here and ask us to come compete against each other in order to win her hand in marriage. I have always known that she was a bold and prideful woman but I never knew it was to this extent.” Vonn complained bitterly to his brothers after they got inside.“I just think you didn't expect to meet a woman that would match upon your pride.” King said with a smirk on his face. “Did you see your face when Riss told us, she walked into the room. You looked like they told you Mom rose up from the dead.”“That is not supposed to be a joke,” Riss said in a stern voice as he didn’t buy the silly joke King made about their late mother. “ Vonn is not entirely wrong, that woman is prideful and I must teach her to know her place right after I make her my wife. Who does she think she is to be speaking to us like she is the prize?”“But she is indeed the prize. Father intends to give his fortune to her if she marries any of us, so what is your point?” King
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 137 - Mafia guys
Alex woke up to several voices right in front of his door, at this point, he was already regretting that he had filled his actual address in the car dealer’s place. It was like that made everyone have access to his house.He turned his side on his bed, till the yelling got worse. “Come out here. You son of a Debtor.”“How can you be living in such a grand place when your family still has a lot to settle us with? Do you think you deserve that silly sleep of yours?”“We know you can hear us, you better come out at once before we vandalize your house.”Several of them hurled insults and threats at him. That caused him to get up from his bed.He peeped down to see what was going down, then he saw some people in the little crowd by his downstairs holding placards with his photos and his late parents photo on it with the caption, “Pay us our money and end capitalism,"Alex scoffed, knowing that his aunty had put them up to his trick but of course he needed to collect proof, so he put on pro
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 138 - Atrocity
“Mrs Gisele Cole and her husband.” The leader spoke up at once.His assumption was right, after she came to his place yelling alongside her son. Only she could pull that. He would have been surprised if they had given him another name. His father’s relatives never failed to show their true behaviour.After taking over his father’s company and splitting most of his properties amongst themselves, they still dared to issue some debts on his parents name.“I am going to ask another question and you must answer me honestly. Who is the one that is truly owing you money or is this some facade My Uncle and his wife has put you all to?” He demanded in a sifter tone.All of them were still shivering on the floor, as they feared what may happen to them. They also knew that lying would not help at all, so they decided to come all clean to him.“Well, since Mrs Gisele took over the company from her husband, we have been running through some financial crisis, they have not paid our salaries for abo
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 139 - Wander off
“Are you insane? Why did you just ask to leave just like that?” Elias nagged at Vonn who entered the hotel room alone.They had planned that if Thea was intoxicated, Vonn would bring her up and Elias would help film all activities.“I cannot just do that to her. It is not right”Elias scoffed then he sat opposite Vonn, “I agree with you, but you know what else is not right? Your brother taking your father’s empire. You know Riss is already your father’s favourite and the women love his aura. Take a look at King, he charms women without having to do too much but take a look at yourself. You are the worst Smith brother.”“You rebelled against your father and became a general instead of being just a doctor like he wanted and your reputation with women? That is even worse.”“ Your darn anger issue didn't even let you learn how to make a woman happy and you think you should do things the right way? The odds are already against you.”“That is the most feasible way you could have gotten that
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 140 - Measly boy
“Sister, you know my Jacob was the one that managed to find that rascal, please do not forget to recommend him to your husband when the promotion comes up at the company,” James Cole faced his sister.Jacob had not been interested in the company nor did he want to run it, he had been interested in the automobile business. SInce James and his wife could not afford to set one up for him due to their lavish lifestyle, they found a job for him where Vivian Cole’s husband worked as the executive general manager at the headquarters.James might be a spoilt little kid but he had offered to work his way through the top by first working as a junior sales rep. His parents had tried to talk him out of it, asking him to take a breed but he told them to set up his own shop for him if they could not bear him working for someone else.“Hmm, that is true, one of the head staff is resigning and that position is open, we could fix him there. Her pay is about ten times what he is earning right now, an
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 141 - Vengeance
Before the party started,At Alex Cole’s place Alex paced across the length of the room, arms crossed over his chest, jaw tight with restrained fury. The protest outside his mansion had just dispersed. His aunt thought she could really play in his face.And he would not let that go.Alex leaned against the marble counter of the kitchen island, watching Carl with quiet calculation. Dressed in a fitted black suit, he looked more like a strategist than a lawyer today, but that’s what Carl needed, someone cold, smart, and as ruthless.“They used your name,” Carl said finally, his tone low but pointed. “They’ve been hiding behind your reputation for years. Free PR. More clients. Bigger projects. But now they’re hiding their sins behind your walls.”Alex stopped pacing. “They think just because they share my blood, they can drag my name through the mud and get away with it.”Carl arched a brow. “Your name isn’t mud. But if you let them do it again, it will be.”There was a pause. The wei
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 142 - Family
Vivian Cole’s heels clicked against the polished marble floors as she walked briskly toward the grand entrance of the event hall. Her sharp green dress hugged her frame perfectly, and her expression was a mask of calm curiosity though her stomach twisted with unease. James and Fredrick Cole followed close behind, the former adjusting his cufflinks while the latter muttered curses under his breath.Security had come to them not five minutes earlier, murmuring about a disturbance at the entrance involving “a man in black” and a group of men who looked like trouble. One of the guards even whispered something about the Mafia, which was ridiculous, of course.At least, they hoped it was.As they turned the corner and stepped into the wide foyer of the building, they paused, almost in unison.There he was.Alex Cole.Their nephew.Dressed in a matte-black tailored suit with a long overcoat draped elegantly over his shoulders, Alex stood like a storm in waiting shoulders squared, chin slig

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
