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.

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

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 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

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

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

Javier finished his lunch under Luca’s hostile gaze and went around the village with Jade leading the way. Edelgard was not with them because she had to teach the students, while Luca obviously followed her. While Javier and Jade were walking around, Jade said, “I think Edelgard and Luca have something pretty good going on. It doesn’t seem like Luca’s in a one-sided relationship right now. Judging by their conversation, I believe Edelgard was the one who told Luca where she was of her own accord.”Javier chuckled. “Are you trying to tell me I shouldn’t miss her?”Jade rolled her eyes. “What are you talking about? You’re free to miss whoever you like. What I’m trying to say is that Edelgard’s a pretty nice woman, so you shouldn’t lay your hands on Luca no matter how much of a jerk he is. You should try to tolerate him on Edelgard’s account.“Didn’t you see how heartbroken Edelgard was when you slammed his head against the table just now?”Javier understood what she was trying to

The Ace at the Apex Chapter 875 What Is This Four-Legged B*tch Trying to Do?
As Bernadetta launched a barrage of kicks against the restaurant door, Mrs. Greene summoned 120% of her strength, holding the fort. The older woman had made a living terrorizing others with absurd accusations and downright unreasonable demands, but this time, she had met her match. Bernadetta James put the “man” in the word “woman”—in that she resorted to violence as soon as things escalated. In the end, it took both Mrs. Greene’s apology and a deal to provide Javier and Bernadetta with three days’ meals, all free of charge, to make the young woman stop. Then—“because I actually have a weakness against people sincerely appealing to my better angels,” according to Bernadetta—she amended the peace offer, changing the three days’ free meals to…a week’s worth. Back in the inn, Javier expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Bernadetta for rescuing him. “I can’t thank you enough for standing by my side when I needed it the most, Bern. But I can thank you a bit more if you refrain from using t
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 874 I’m Having Meatballs Tonight
Mrs. Greene opened her flap and unlocked the floodgate, the spit during her tirade so profusive that she could water an old lady’s lawn. “It’s him, officers! It’s all him! He did this to his own camera just to remove himself as a suspect, but we know better than that! He’s the guy who stole my goddamn lingerie!”She turned and trained her finger on Javier. “You vile, disgusting, degenerate piece of sh*t! Ptooey!”‘Back at you! I'd rather spend the night with my left hand than with you!’ By this point in the morning, Bernadetta had arrived at work. Her heels clicked onto the floor as she sauntered toward the commotion. As soon as she heard what had transpired, she laughed, looking clearly amused. She trained her perfectly manicured finger on Javier and piled on. “Oh, it was him. I can testify to that! He stole Mrs. Greene’s bra because he is…the Lingerie Phantom Thief! By day, he is Javier Kersey. At night, he is Jo Ker, the Bra Stealer!” Javier threw his arms up in exasperation
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 873 I Didn’t Do This! I Swear!
Javier shook his head. By the time his vision was back to normal, the dog was gone. It had escaped! “What kind of hell spawned this little sh*t?!” Javier wondered to himself aloud. “Was this really an effect of the world changing? Is this an example of mutation because of the Storm? Or is there something else at play?”Baffled and unsure what to think, Javier returned to the dorm and told the residents to open the door. Inside, he found Florence huddling the frightened kids closely. She was white from fear, and yet in the presence of vulnerable kids, she had assumed the role of the protector without a second thought. “Hush, it’s alright! It was fake. Someone pulled a terrible prank and put on this white sheet and…” Javier made up a fib to explain the haunting away exactly because the truth could land him in a mental institution. No one would believe him—and for good reason too!Javier drove Florence back to the Yuzuian restaurant, where the latter’s electric scooter was. While
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 872 Honey, I’m Not Crazy, This Dog Is Magical!
A resentful wail—interspersed only by sobs that sounded more like someone was being strangled—was echoing in the middle of the night while Javier and Florence could not see even a single soul out there? Animated by the power of “hell, naw!”, Florence dove into Javier’s arms for protection. Her hands were clasped firmly on either side of her head, hoping to block out the ghastly demand in her ears. Her eyes were squeezed so tightly shut that even a crowbar could not pry them open.Javier himself was just as terrified. He would have felt better if he could see the source of the voice rather than just hear a woman sobbing about getting her head back. At least he would know what he was up against! But just hearing it without any visuals at all?! Nooooope!Then, Florence hugged him in a “help-me!” sort of way. She was soft and supple—damn, that sexy figure in combination with her silky-smooth skin sure was welcoming. She was warm, and damn did she smell good! Nothing competed with fea
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 871 Hypnotized And In Too Deep
The dog barked in protest as it pointed its paw at Javier with the intensity of a mob before executing a monarch. The flames in its eyes were so bright that they could incinerate Javier into ashes in milliseconds. In the end, though, all that protest was for naught. Constance tied it up in the parking garage, while Javier watched in glee. Ah, sweet, sweet revenge! The stupid dog had thought it could set him up, had it? That would teach it!The look the Pomeranian shot him almost felt like a threat: ‘Just you f*cking wait, hooman!’‘Wait for what? How much can a stupid b*tch like you do to me?’ Javier scoffed in his mind. Now that the four-legged pest was gone, Javier turned back to Constance and talked about the new orphanage. As it turned out, despite the old woman’s sentiments for the building she had founded, she was a lot less obstinate and unreasonable as she might appear. “I mean, I don’t object to it completely. I know the new place is gonna be better, but…” She faltered a

Florence called half an hour later to tell him where they’d be having dinner. After leaving the inn in Bernadetta’s care, he hurried to the venue. Florence had picked a newly-opened Yuzuian restaurant. Javier had never liked Yuzuian restaurants, but since Florence had invited him, courtesy stopped him from asking the woman to change their meeting venue. He found Florence quickly enough and sat across from her. They placed their orders, and Javier began his performance: He started sighing and doing his best to look forlorn. It intrigued Florence enough to ask what was wrong, and Javier told her about his unfortunate beef with Constance that day.“It’s so unfair, man! Why would I bully a dog for no reason?” he moaned. “I’m sure Aunt Constance misunderstood. You’re a knightly, heroic, kind man! How could someone like you possibly get off on hurting a dog? I’m sure Aunt Constance was just too worried about the dog’s welfare to think things through. She didn’t mean it. I can vouch for
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 869 That’s Just How Generous I Am!
Herschel was dressed quite sharply today. It was the full ensemble—black leather shoes, black slacks, a white collar, and last but not least, the good old oil-slicked hair. The typical look of a high-ranking office worker, just as Javier had requested. Ordering him to get in his car, Javier asked, “You brought all the stuff I told you to?”“Yo, I would never forget the stuff my boss told me to bring. I’ve got all the preparations down pat. You can check ‘em if you don’t trust me,” Herschel replied. He fished an ID and some documents out of his leather bag. “See? All the documentation a journalist in the most important room of a news agency would have.”After a round-check and some instructions, Javier sent Herschel on his way to complete his mission. The man was strangely reluctant, though. “Boss, you told me you decided to work in that inn, right? Does that mean, you know, that you’re gonna call me ‘boss’ while you’re there?”Javier had almost forgotten he had mentioned this. It

Javier’s suspicion turned to Constance Hellman’s white Pomeranian. He turned to the director’s office and met the dog’s eyes. With its paws on the windowsill, it hoisted itself up to look out of the window. Seeing the dog cracking a lopsided grin and baring its fangs—beaming as smugly as a teacher’s pet who had managed to subdue everyone through the power of being the boss’s favorite—made it look both amusing and chilling. It would have been had the dog not caught Javier’s gaze, suddenly dropped the smile, and put on a face that seemed to be saying, ‘I’m just your average dog! Nothing to see here!’And then it feigned—yes, feigned—a yawn as its one last measure to cover up the fact that it had been laughing smugly to itself. ‘What. The. Actual. F*ck?!’ Javier thundered in his mind. ‘B*tch’s a natural actress! What’s it doing here instead of being interviewed on a talk show after becoming viral on TikTok?’In combination with Russell’s report, the incident inside the director’s of
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 867 This Is One Dramatic Dog
As Javier was befuddled, Constance rushed in from outside and picked up the white Pomeranian gingerly to carefully check its injured leg.“Oh, baby, what’s the matter? Did you hurt your leg?”The white Pomeranian whined in pain and began twitching upon hearing Constance’s concerned question. This upset Constance so much that she admonished him sternly. “Mr. Kersey, I thought that you were a loving person, but I can’t help doubting your motive now.“I’m skeptical about you taking good care of the kids here when you’d even hit a cute dog!”Javier felt extremely offended. When had he hit the dog? He hurriedly explained, “Madam Hellman, I didn’t do anything!”Constance asked angrily, “You didn’t do anything? Why would it suddenly limp now and whine so pathetically? Why did it hurry over to me? Give me a reasonable explanation!”Javier was in distress as well. “How would I know? It was fine when I was carrying it just now, but it wanted to get down on the floor, so I carefully placed
