The Ace at the Apex Chapter 197 You Won’t Have the Chance to Hit Me
Saoirse felt nervous when she heard what Javier had said. When Javier had emphasized the words “discuss tonight’s agenda”, she instantly knew that it was something lewd.Despite being a fully-grown woman, Saoirse had never experienced being with a man before. However, she had not been able to contain her curiosity and had watched some films before. This was how she understood the images that Javier was trying to put into her head.However, she did not find it disgusting. Instead, she felt her heartstrings being tugged so hard that she was starting to suffer a little at this point. Amidst her panic, she extinguished the incense in the urn and said, “I’m your aunt, Javier.”Immediately after she said that, Javier pulled her into his arms.In the next moment, Javier looked right into her eyes and asked with a gentle voice, “So?”Saoirse wanted to say that the both of them were family and his mother was her god-sister, so they could not possibly start such a relationship. However, b

Javier leaned against the wall, waiting for the man in black to show up and pounce on him.However, right at that moment, he heard a buzzing sound from a pair of propellers spinning coming from above him. Subconsciously, Javier looked up and saw a drone in the sky with its camera right in its center trained on him.Javier was instantly stunned by this. ‘What the f*ck?! They’ve got quite the service here. There’s someone following me on foot and a drone from above. ‘On top of that, it’s obvious that it’s not just one man who’s following me… That man back there had nothing in his hands.‘So, that must mean another person is controlling this drone from afar and is watching my every move.’Sure enough, Javier very quickly saw the man in black appearing at a road ten steps away from him, his face filled with mockery. He was obviously gloating at how Javier had failed to try and ambush him. Seeing the man in black, Javier proceeded to pick up a rock from the floor, to which the man in

After successfully shaking the GTR off their tail, Javier found a place to turn so that he could stop the Maserati.“You carry on driving after I get out of the car. Go anywhere you want.”After that, Javier opened the door and was about to get out. Previously Gigi did not dare to ask for his phone number. She now mustered up all the courage she had so that she could do so this time.“Could you please give me your phone number, Javier?”Javier smiled and sized Gigi up. “Why? Do you want to date me?”Gigi was embarrassed. She wanted to say no, but she could not tell him what Zeke was planning or it would seem like she had an ulterior motive.Thus, she came up with a random excuse instead. “I-I…I’d like to apologize to you for what happened before.”“There’s no need, you’ve already apologized for it. Bye now!”With a thud, the door slammed shut and Javier darted into a tunnel by the side. Climbing back into the driver’s seat, Gigi adjusted her rearview mirror and took a look. ‘

Javier was not offended. He knew that Dana had misunderstood him. “Please, don’t mistake my intention, ma’am. Mr. Gander’s directing is renowned for projecting the scale and depth of his stories, which is why I’m hoping he could be the one to helm ours.”Javier’s compliment was every bit as heartfelt as his tone, but Dana was done listening to sweet nothings and empty praises. She already had her fill of duplicity to last her a lifetime.She waved at his words. “How about something more concrete, hmm? You’re sincere in asking Mr. Gander for your movie, right? Well, Old Gander’s current pay is 2.3 million dollars, sir. Would you like to pay all of that in full?” She pointed at the check. “You can take that away while you’re at it. Come back to me when you’ve got the amount.”Well, that just made things…a little more difficult now, right?“Um, ma’am?” Javier began, a little embarrassed. “I can only offer 3 million dollars. I can't give more than that.”Dana felt her breath hitching

Javier could not possibly have told them the truth. No, his secret was not the problem. The problem was that no one would believe something so…preposterous. Therefore, he gave them an answer he had invented just for this occasion. “I was talking to a friend of mine from abroad, and he said we Chineans can’t make good movies. He thinks all we make are copycat movies and hacks meant to rake in money. It pissed me off, so I want to defend our filmmakers. I want to make a movie worthy of international awards and show it to these foreigners so they will know that there’s nothing we Chineans cannot do! We can be the best at anything we try!”Javier’s confidence made up for his teensy-weensy lack of faith…Better not think of Chinean soccer if he wanted to maintain this façade of certainty!For better or worse, Mr. Gander had not thought of the state of their national soccer team at all. He smacked his hand down on the table with a loud peal, exclaiming, “That’s the spirit we need and dese

Javier was sure Mr. Gander was faking it. He had to be, right? How could he be drunk so soon? He was raising his cup in the air with the zest of a Viking! Then, a few minutes later, he was slumped on the table, seemingly knocked out so fast that it felt like someone had fast-forwarded the whole thing.Dana scratched the back of her head haplessly. “Aaaaaaaand he’s out.”Javier was taken aback. “Wait, what?!”“Happens all the time when he has booze in one hand and a friend with the same vibe next to him,” she explained helplessly. “Everyone calls him Three Strikes Out, you know. The first two shots are meant to mortify his partner, but if those don't work, he’ll have one more shot and—well, get himself royally drunk.“Don’t believe me? Well, come over here, young man. Take a look yourself. He’s gonna throw up a champagne shower,” Dana added. She beckoned to Javier to help her carry Mr. Gander to the bathroom, where he could throw up to his heart’s content.Javier was still rather s

She would do anything for him—anything at all. It took her saying those words aloud to alert her of the inherently…problematic nature of her outburst. All Javier needed to do right now was seize this chance to ask her for sexual favors.Luckily for her, Javier proved to be the opposite of an opportunist.“Really, Dana, all you need to do for me to help you is ask. You don’t have to make it sound so…uh, grandiose?”This was far from the most optimal adjective to describe her outburst, but Javier was happy to quickly move on and tell her what he knew. “There’s a famous private hospital in Eyck Land, the capital city of Blanda. A famous doctor by the name of Tunsik possesses ancient court knowledge handed down from the Holy Roman imperial court that, when combined with modern medical advancement, seems to achieve stellar results. Word has it that he cured a lot of patients who suffered from a congenital form of impotency—”Before Javier could finish, though, a morose look shadowed Dan

Tungsik’s phone call dispelled the last ounce of Dana’s anxiety. She hurriedly replied, “Mr. Tungsik, you need not come! We’ll be coming to you instead, kind sir. It’s, uh, no trouble at all.”She was evidently unaccustomed to Tungsik’s overt politeness, which caused her to use the same highfalutin manner of speaking that he was.However, her reciprocated decorum only made Tungsik reel in unease and shock. Since this woman was Javier’s friend, her position must be incredibly eminent. “P-Please, most honorable madam! Please don’t. If you go to the trouble to come to me, it will imply that you don’t accept my apology!” he said in a quivering voice. “And it will cause me a lot of distress, indeed…”Tungsik’s 180-degree attitude change was just too bizarre to get used to. He was so gushy and eager to please that Dana could not get acclimated to it. Ultimately, she gave the doctor her house address before thanking him.To her shock, Tungsik answered, “No, no! I am the one who is absolut

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
