The Ace at the Apex Chapter 171 Kill Him With Technique
Gigi had been anxious about why her street-fighting champion friends were not here yet, but her attention had unknowingly shifted to the gambling table.She now cared more about the bumpkin loser’s dumb begging face when he lost the $1,500,000. She could even imagine Javier kneeling before her and pleading with her in tears and snot.The more she thought about it, the more pleased she was. Gigi reveled in her imagination as she scoffed. “Stupid beggar, I’ll watch how you die in a while!”Michael gestured to Javier at the table. “I’m the dealer. You place your bet first.”Javier made an “oh” like he had never played before, gave it a thought, and threw in all $1,500,000.Looking at the tray of casino chips shoved forward, Michael was bewildered. It was normal to go all-in in Three-Card Brag—one would not look at the cards and bet like that purely on one’s luck. However, to bet on luck with $1,500,000, was the guy…dumb?Michael was not the only one who was dumbstruck. Gigi, who wat

Gigi was panicking. She had embezzled $9,000,000 and put in $6,000,000 now. She was only left with $3,000,000. If her elder brother were to find out, he would break her legs directly.Michael was anxious as well. He had wanted to win with technique, but why the f*ck did he encounter someone who played with determination instead of technique today? No matter how skilled he was, what could he do when Javier refused to touch the cards? Technique could not fight determination at all.For his $4,500,000 laid on the table, Michael turned to Gigi and whispered harshly, “Transfer me the money!”Gigi looked troubled as she replied in an equal whisper, “I don’t have any more. I only have $3,000,000 now. I thought he was putting up an act, that $10,500,000 was about it. Who knew he’d throw in another $6,000,000? This is going over $10,000,000 now. Where would I get so much money from?”Michael wished to break Gigi over his leg more than ever like he would break a bamboo. Was she tricking him?

Javier was arrogant with a high sense of superiority. It disgruntled many people, but no one dared make a sound. Physically, they would not be able to fight him. Financially, they did not even have to think about it.Michael and Gigi had been planning to resort to violence and snag the $28,500,000 Javier had put in and the $16,500,000 they had pooled together. Unfortunately, they knew there was no hope now as they watched the street-fighting champion get knocked out so easily.Flicking the bud of his cigarette, Javier waved at Gigi. “Come, bimbo, come here.”Gigi did not like the term of address being used, but she had no right to say anything for now. Losing her spunk and fight, she went to Javier with her long legs feeling a little like jelly and nearly gave out on her body.The thuggish action and crude words embarrassed and exasperated Gigi. Despite that, this was nothing compared to the $9,000,000 she had thrown in. She begged Javier, “Javier, based on the friendship between y

Leaving the casino, Javier went to the car with Mackenzie. The moment Javier opened the door, Gigi rushed up furiously like a frenzied b*tch.Javier scoffed at the sight of the disheveled Gigi. “What? Learned a new skill? Becoming a sticky chewing gum now?”Gigi stayed in the seat and shouted, “I don’t care. The money’s mine. You have to return it to me!”“Tch, tch. Not bad, huh? You’re getting cranky with me now?”Javier went to the trunk and pulled the side panel open to retrieve the car jack. Going back to the car, he gestured for Mackenzie to drive and told Gigi, “Okay, since you want to play, we’ll play something exciting tonight. You sit on the car jack, and I’ll make you have fun.”Gigi was terrified. She had been under the impression Javier would not hurt her since their grandfathers knew each other, but she realized her grandfather was nothing in Javier’s eyes. There was no favor to be done.She wanted to jump out of the car because Javier was already installing the jack

Zeke refused to give up. He wanted to find Javier’s bank account number from Gigi’s transaction record and pull some strings to check Javier’s phone number through the bank card, then contact Zephiel. But when he inquired about Gigi’s transaction record, he realized that the card number was not displayed.It was obviously not the bank’s mistake. Zeke had heard before that as long as the client’s profile was high enough, the bank would take the initiative to conceal their information. This also meant that Javier was that high-profile person Zeke had heard about.It would have been an easy way out, but it was brutally cut because of Gigi’s audacity and haughtiness…At the same time, Javier arrived at the hotel with Zephiel.“I’ve already helped teach Gigi Snowden a lesson for your old-time buddy. Aren’t you going to help him through his current plight?”Zephiel waved his hands at that. “It’s not a life and death situation. It’s just whether he’s having bread or cake. He can resolve

Of course, Javier was only messing with Luca. There was no way he would be serious with him over something so trivial.Speeding away, they finally arrived at Easton Group’s headquarters.Luca was mumbling away downstairs as though he wanted to say something. Javier was able to see through all of his thoughts with a single glance. “Since it’s not going to be convenient for you to talk to your father, forget it. All you have to do is convey a message to me. It doesn’t matter whether he decides to meet me or not. The Panganis’ future solely depends on your family’s capabilities, nothing else.”Luca did indeed want Javier to meet his father since the latter had instructed over and over again that he wanted to meet Javier should the opportunity arise.However, now that Javier had said this, Luca could not muster up the courage to say anything further.Javier said, “This is a good thing. Otherwise, how are you going to be able to communicate with me if your old man treats me politely?

Luca could more or less guess that Javier was suspicious of Thorin’s intentions that night, but Luca begged to differ.“I’m sure Thorin isn’t that kind of person, Javier.”Javier smiled and did not want to argue with Luca. ‘There’s no point arguing with a fool unless I lower my standards to meet his. Instead, I’m going to make him understand what growth means through facts.’The bar Thorin had brought them to was a spacious one, enough to fit thousands of people.The place was indeed packed with people, and the atmosphere was very lively.This was a place where handsome men and beautiful women would gather. As long as they were interested in one another, all that was left was a few drinks, and they would be off. Usually, it would be one cheer for freedom, two cheers to salute death, or one cheer for the time they were spending together that night, two cheers to head off to bed.After that, it would be a series of events that would be rather obvious to imagine…The next day, wh

Thorin’s sudden performance managed to catch Harold’s attention. As such, Harold began to become slightly interested in Javier. More accurately, he was interested in seeing how Thorin would drive Javier down to the ground like he was nothing.Thus, he asked Thorin, “Hey, Thorin. What’s the country bumpkin done to get you all excited?”“It’s nothing much, actually. But this country bumpkin here has a pretty girlfriend, and believe me, she’s f*cking perfect! She’s beautiful, has good curves, and has this unique temperament that really pulls on your heartstrings whenever you see her. You have no idea how many times I had to look for women to vent my frustration because of her, Harold!“Let me put it this way, I still feel this huge urge inside of me whenever I think of her, and I want to have my way with her!”Harold became interested in Thorin’s introduction and looked at Javier curiously. “Hey, country bumpkin. Do you have any photos of that beautiful woman Thorin just mentioned?

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
