The Ace at the Apex Chapter 101 There’s Something I’d Like to Ask You
Dunham Group was more than Geoffrey’s private property—it belonged to the family. And now, after being two-time colossal suckers, it surprised no one that the Dunhams were incensed to a fever pitch. When the zircon mine scandal was pulled from under the rug, the entire family basically unsheathed their fingers and launched an interrogation against Geoffrey and his son.Their main goal, apparently, was a demand to know if Geoffrey was “mentally-challenged” and whether he had passed that trait down to Zayn. The family meeting held that night basically eviscerated Zayn and Geoffrey, sending them to hell and back.Then, for a few days, Dunham Group was basically enervated. Their initial intention had been to sell those zircon ores, but since someone had dumped a surfeit amount in the market, their price had been lowered to 200,000 dollars, which was a far cry from the original 240,000 dollars the family had asked for more than 300 tonnes of ore.It would have been manageable if that was
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 102 Womanly Wisdom
By the time Javier was up, he realized he had fallen asleep on the couch.He was flummoxed, as he had no idea just how on Earth this had happened.He was aware of the fact that he had been drugged and he’d had sex with Ciel under the influence, but none of that knowledge could explain the reason this had happened. He had just met Ciel by accident!Unable to wait a moment longer, he asked, “You’d never even had sex before, so why? Why do this? What was your motive?”Hearing his voice out of the blue made Ciel jump. She turned to him, and upon realizing she was completely naked, she yanked her clothes to cover her more sensitive bits, looking clearly flustered.Her embarrassment and bashfulness were such an innate part of a sex-shy woman that she hardly even looked like a sultry seductress. In fact, her subsequent breakdown and tearful confession sealed the deal.“I’m so sorry! I’m sorry…Oh, god, I’m sorry. I had no choice…My dad’s debt to the casino…is too big. He couldn’t pay it,

The result had completely changed Zayn’s expectations. He left Reivaj, feeling bemused, without any idea why that had happened.“Jade’s got a few screws loose, doesn’t she?” Zayn murmured to himself. It seemed like the only plausible explanation.He made his way to the parking lot, but just as he was about to yank his car door open, he felt a force engulf his nose. Panicked strength broke out of him, yet his struggle had no effect.That was when a strange smell invaded his nose and robbed him of his senses. Zayn’s strength was pilfered from his limbs, leaving them enervated before Herschel dragged a limp, powerless Zayn into the car.When Zayn came back to his senses, there was a new weight pushing against him from above. He snapped his eyes open and squealed in terror before making a mad dash for his life.It took more than 10m before the naked young man could make out the…monstrous thing that was on him. It was a single leg—a human leg thick enough to be confused with a pillar.
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 104 Would You Prefer Your Left Hand Or Right Hand?
Javier finally understood the doctor’s contention. Long story short, he thought Javier was being a megalomaniac. Or maybe the doctor thought he was coveting Selena’s beauty and was puffing himself up so he’d look like a cool Chad to earn her favor.The thing was, why would Javier even need to puff himself up into this larger-than-life character when he was already a larger-than-life character?!Of course, at the very least, Javier knew the doctor was simply doing his job because he cared and wanted to protect his patient. He was not going to shout at someone with a heart like that. “Look, doc. I know you mean well, but regardless of whether you believe me or not, now is a good time to process the patient’s transfer. Just let me clear any outstanding fees owed to your institution, please. We’re waiting for a jet, anyway. There’s ample time left. Then we won’t have to abuse the patient’s time when the helicopter arrives just to finish the paperwork.”The doctor, however, was steadfast
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 105 Just A Bit
Javier had gone straight to the airport after taking care of the hospital affair. He had no plans to stay in Medb any longer.While waiting to board, he decided to lie down for a bit before realizing the seat next to him was occupied by a young woman in a black cap. The large pair of shades and mask covering the rest of her face complemented her getup. She was wearing a white short-sleeved t-shirt with a print of Princess Peach paired with denim shorts.Judging by her fashion sense alone, she seemed to be a beautiful young thing. Javier could not understand why she would cover herself up this tightly on a hot day.He thought about it for a while and realized why. While the girl cast a side-glance at him, her profile reminded Javier of a celebrity. Specifically, a celebrity who used to be all the rave before she’d suddenly been banished from the scene—Edelgard Weiss.The more he considered her overall features, the more her appearance matched the celebrity’s.He took out his phone
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 106 Don’t Worry, Mr. Kersey
The two of them chatted for a bit more before the departure gate opened.Javier was not taking the same flight as Edelgard, so he got up to bid her farewell and board with his flight ticket.“Bye-bye!”After waving goodbye at him, Edelgard kept her eyes on Javier’s retreating back. She thought that he would probably turn around a few seconds later and ask for her contact information to keep in touch. She had already given it some thought too, and she would give Javier her Messenger handle. After all, this man, who did not treat her like a celebrity, seemed decent. She was at ease chatting and interacting with him.In reality, though, Javier did not even turn around once while he queued up at the departure gate.Edelgard kicked her luggage harshly and muttered under her breath, “What kind of man are you? I already thought about it and decided to let you add me on Messenger, yet you can’t even be bothered. Ugh, how infuriating!”Javier truly did not intend to ask for Edelgard’s con
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 107 The Fairy and the Goddess
It had never once crossed Javier’s mind that he would meet Edelgard in Xerxes Village when they had just met that one time.What he found odd was that Edelgard had a bamboo basket filled with grass on her back. Judging by the scythe she was holding, she was obviously the one putting the grass in the basket.Javier was surprised and he suspected that this person was not actually Edelgard but a doppelganger. Nevertheless, Jade asked at the same time, “Isn’t that film star Edelgard Weiss?”Javier nodded in surprise. “I think so. I met her in the capital airport previously and even chatted with her. She looks like she’s wearing the same clothes as when I saw her too, but why is she holding a bamboo basket and cutting grass?”“You two have…met?”Javier broke out of his trance when he heard Jade’s pointed question and asked with a chortle, “Why, are you jealous?”“No.” Jade shook her head.Javier did not say anything but rolled down the car window as he drove by Edelgard’s side.Befo
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 108 This Is Outrageous!
Javier, Jade, and Edelgard went out shopping when they arrived at Xerxes Village and then felt slightly tired. The one most affected was Javier, who had not been able to even shut his eyes the entire night, while Jade had managed to take a nap in the car. Initially, Javier had his guard up against Luca, but he then realized that Jade was quite close to the villagers. Plus, Luca seemed to have placed all his focus on Edelgard, which ultimately made Javier lower his guard. Javier finally managed to find somewhere to lie down thanks to the chief’s arrangements, so he immediately dozed off and woke up around noon. The moment Javier opened his eyes, he instinctively thought that he had been kidnapped by someone.‘Where in the world am I? There’s no roof above me, and there are even rats dancing about. Even the windows have a few broken panes, which are covered in cobwebs.’After a while, Javier recalled that he was in Xerxes Village. He had not gotten a proper look around in the
