The Ace at the Apex Chapter 199 Getting off on the Wrong Foot
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. ‘
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 200 Humor My Curiosity
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
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 201 All Aboard!
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
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 202 I Might Have A Cure
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
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 203 Powerful Backing
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
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 204 A Wonderful Mistake
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 205 Who Could That Mad Lad Possibly Be?
Javier knew he was doomed the moment his eyes caught the outline of the muzzle.He had managed to snipe a glance at his right previously and noticed a three-year-old toddler sitting parallel to him. In other words, even if Javier was perfectly capable of dodging the shot—which he was—someone would still end up dead. The pauper’s shot would be enough to kill the toddler.Javier did not know who the kid was, but it did not matter. Right now, in a split second, he balked at any attempt to dodge. He would not be able to live with himself if a three-year-old died because he wanted to live.He decided to change position and assumed another angle. From the perspective of a casual observer, it looked like he was shifting his weight very quickly. His final position was one that allowed his most vital spots to be shielded away from the attacker’s trajectory so that he would not be killed by one fatal shot.The pauper, though, did not look deterred. In fact, it almost seemed like he’d be happ
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 206 Not Even You
Herschel stepped on the pedal of his van. The car sped through the asphalt until it finally stopped outside an abandoned warehouse in the outskirts of town.He disembarked, meeting two of his underlings who had been standing by. They proved to be people Javier knew marginally—“Running Man” and “Gran Turismo Racer”—both of whom Javier had the pleasure of meeting this morning.After greeting Javier in the most respectful manner, the two of them hauled the fake pauper into the warehouse while Javier stayed outside, lighting another cigarette and chatting idly with Herschel.Ten or more minutes passed. Running Man emerged from the warehouse with a newly-extracted name.Harold Dunn.Javier remembered Harold. He was that rascal he had given a little “physical education” when they had met. It was intended to be a deterrent and a small punishment for his impudence; a painful lesson that nonetheless required about a hundred days of rest and physiotherapy to recover. Who could have known Ha
