Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 96 - Alex visits the Waltons
Alex showed up in front of Thea Walton’s mansion and rang the doorbell. A man in his late forties appeared to open the door, then another voice came up in the background. “Mr Ben, who is at the door?” she yelled.Ben is the Walton’s family butler who is in charge of their household when Thea was busy, he had served their family since he was a little boy.“How may I help you, young man?” the old man asked“My name is Alex Cole and I am here to see Lord Thor Walton.” He said to the old man who seemed to be confused, they had had no guest come to ask of his master in a long time. Especially since he had fallen ill.“It is odd that that is whom you are requesting for,” Reed who was coming from behind Alex replied to him.Ben heaved a little sigh of relief because he didn’t know what to say to such an odd request.“You are the Alex Cole?” Reed asked and squeezed his face as if he had just mentioned some dirt or disgusting thing but Alex did not mind.Hannah who had been expecting Ben to u
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 97 - Tearing apart
Kael sat in the candle-lit study of his private estate, fingers tapping rhythmically against the polished oak table. A decanter of wine sat untouched beside him, its deep crimson reflecting in the dim glow of the room. His mind was too sharp, too focused for indulgence.Thea had 48 hours.Forty-eight hours to track down Y-Faced, to prove her worth once more in the eyes of the council, to maintain her grip on the Dragon Order.Kael intended to make sure she failed.With a flick of his wrist, he gestured to the two men standing before him—Lord Varrik, a high-ranking official within the ministry who had long aligned himself with Kael’s ambitions, and an unnamed informant, draped in dark robes, his face obscured by the flickering candlelight.“Thea will deploy her forces at first light,” Kael began, his voice steady, measured. “She thinks she holds the advantage, that her authority remains unquestioned. That ends now.”Varrik leaned forward, his hands clasped together. “You want to sabota
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 98 - Poison
Thea stood in the command room of the Dragon Order’s headquarters, her hands pressed against the grand wooden table as she studied the map spread before her. The candles flickered, casting long shadows over the parchment as her officers stood at attention, waiting for her command.She had forty-eight hours to retrieve Y-Faced.And now, conflicting reports were pouring in from all over Trim City.One informant swore he had seen Y-Faced in the southern district, lurking in the underground tunnels. Another claimed he was spotted boarding a ship at the docks. Yet another whispered of a hidden safe house in the far north, deep within the ruined outskirts.It didn’t make sense.Thea clenched her jaw. “This isn’t right.”Hannah Stone, her second-in-command, crossed her arms, her face tight with frustration. “It’s deliberate. Someone’s feeding us false leads.”Thea exhaled sharply. “I know. But who?”Hannah hesitated, then shook her head. “Kael.”Thea’s eyes flickered with anger. “Of course,
Phenomenal Alex Cole Chapter 99 - Dancing Powder
Reed frowned as he felt challenged by Alex. he had heard that Thea had refused to marry him or go further with what their parents had planned out for them but this level of guts still pissed him. “I don’t know what your mission is here but I must let you know what a good for nothing man like you has no business around Thea.”He did not fail to hide his ultimate disdain for him. He had only respect in the past because Thea was present but now he is going to give him the piece of his mind.“You should know by now that knowing your place is very important, in the whole of Trim city, even the girls with no titles and jobs will not accept a man like you.” He spat.“Why do you think you have the right to speak to me this way?’ Alex asked him again.“How dare you speak to Young Master in that manner?” Hannah Stone frowned immediately, “Do you have any idea of who you are talking to? If you don’t I will let you know, this is young master Reed, one of the few people who managed to serve Mas
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

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
