The Ace at the Apex Chapter 263 The Most Careless Person in History
Javier sat on his office sofa with his legs crossed. As he took a puff of his cigarette, he pondered how he should deal with William. He had already come up with an idea but thought it was not appropriate enough, so he wanted to come up with an even better idea. However, this better idea he wanted was not easy to realize. Javier could neither go against William openly nor could he do something as ridiculous as hiring a hired gun to kill William, which would only sadden the old fox. On top of that, he wanted William to suffer the full price for what he had done, which was why this was such a huge headache for Javier. Thus, after pondering for a while, Javier wondered if he should just use the idea he had at that moment since he could not come up with something else. At that moment, his cell phone rang. Javier took out his cell phone, where Thomas’s name was shown on the screen.Surprised, Javier could not figure out why Thomas would be calling him. When Javier answered the

Before boarding the plane, Javier gave Jade, Chad, Trevor, and Liam a phone call, each with instructions.Finally, he gave Ciara a call, ordering her to hurry back to the island as soon as possible, also stating that he would be heading back as well.Of course, Ciara readily agreed to it when she heard that Javier was also returning. She thought that Javier wanted to grab the opportunity to spend some alone time with her.However, she was unaware that Javier thought she would only be safest from Arthur and William’s claws if she was on the island!Both of them ran into one another during transit.Ciara was especially happy, wrapping her arms around Javier’s, literally like a koala bear hanging onto a tree.Countless onlookers cast envious gazes at Javier, but he was not in the mood to feel happy about it.“Marjorie and Sigmund are both dead, and either William or Arthur did it. You can’t stay outside any longer.”“What!?”Ciara was stunned, obviously clueless about what had ha

Nobody knew if Arthur was putting up an act or if he was genuinely shocked. However, Javier no longer cared about all that at that point. Instead, he directly said, “You can drop the act, Uncle Arthur. Everyone is aware that you’ve had your suspicions whether Sigmund was actually your son. Now that they are gone, there’s no need for me to beat around the bush anymore.“Everyone knows that you’re well-aware about what happened with Aunt Marjorie, so I’m curious whether you’re feeling sad or faking it right now.”Arthur instantly became furious, and his eyes turned red as he said, “What are you trying to imply, Javier? Are you—”Javier waved his hand before allowing Arthur to finish his sentence. “I’m not trying to imply anything at all. I came here today because I wanted to tell you how huge of an *sshole you are. Here you go, see for yourself!”After that, Javier took out the DNA report that he had asked the doctor to alter previously and handed it to Arthur.Arthur took it over

Javier had been especially mindful of Arthur’s movements ever since the latter left his residence. However, Arthur had been very quiet. Javier had heard nothing in the end, nor did Arthur even leave the island.After Javier was done having dinner and taking a stroll around the island, Ciara discreetly asked, “Has he found out what you’re doing, Javier?”Javier shook his head. “I don’t think so. Judging by his temper, he should have probably stirred something up for us to see by now if he had seen through my plans. The fact that he hasn’t made a single move can only mean he’s beginning to plot something. The longer he remains quiet, the deeper his schemes.”Ciara acknowledged and said, “It’s just like the story about the viper and the dog that the old fox would always tell me.”Zephiel had indeed told this story to both Javier and Ciara when they were little. Ciara had forgotten most of the story, but she could still vaguely remember that it was about how the viper remained sile

Zephiel angrily lashed out at Javier, but those were the only words that he said before he fell silent. This was not because he was feeling unwell but because he recalled his bloody history.‘Now that I think of it, it’s exactly because I was ruthless in my methods that two of my brothers ended up dead, two of them ended up crippled, while the other two were lost.‘But I had no other choice at the time. I felt as though I was in a war in the past, without using guns or swords. The moment I showed up on that battlefield, I was fated to either be the hunter, or the hunted, that’s all…‘The situation I was in at the time is exactly what Javier’s facing right now…’At that point, Zephiel could no longer lash out at Javier. He remained silent for almost five minutes before he waved his hand, gesturing that Javier could leave him.Just as Javier was about to reach the exit, Zephiel instructed, “Be careful.”Javier stopped and turned around to look at the old fox’s lonely back, caus

Javier wore his work attire and entered the automobile manufacturing facility. The section chief assigned a mentor for him, Alexis Sacson Holm.Javier initially thought Alexis was a woman. She would probably be pretty, gentle, and quiet if he had to guess.When he finally met Alexis in person, he was dejected. Alexis turned out to be a big, husky man with unkempt hair and a scruffy beard.What on earth were his parents thinking when they named that big guy “Alexis”?When Javier was working with Alexis, he tactfully asked around and finally found out why.Back then, Alexis had actually been Alex Isaacson Holm. Born in the Holm family, he was named Alex, which meant “protector of mankind”.However, when the hospital registered his name, there was a mix-up when it was submitted to the state because his name, “Alex” and “Isaacson” had been written a little too close.The officers at the State Vital Records Office kindly corrected it by writing them closer together—Alexis Sacson Holm

Javier was wondering whether Quinna was a strong, powerful reformer. He might have found himself another person to work with through this trip if she was.They could easily go for a joint production under a sub-brand and conduct sales with the help of the 4S stores of this brand.The premise was that Quinna must truly be a radical reformer and not someone who claimed to be a reformist but only cared about power and money.While Javier was lost in his thoughts, eight men showed up out of nowhere and charged toward Javier and Graham before surrounding them.At first glance, it seemed like Alexis was leading those men. He stepped up and interrogated Graham aggressively. "You’re impressive, huh? I thought you were a man of integrity and virtue, but you’re just getting him to get you lunch instead. That’s a good one!"Just as Alexis said that a man pulled him aside. He had a tiger tattoo on his chest.Javier had seen the man when he was getting lunch earlier. His nickname was Tiger, a

Before Javier left work in the evening, he managed to get Graham's address. After leaving the restaurant, he took a taxi and headed over.The neighborhood where Graham lived looked quite old. It had rough gravel concrete walls, run-down storefronts, potholes, and piles of trash.People who could afford it had all moved out. Those who stayed were either the elderly, poor families waiting for the place to be demolished or tenants. Graham Rowland fell into the last category.When Graham opened the door and saw Javier, he frowned. "What are you doing here?"Javier put all his fingers up and said, "I’m a guest, and I came empty-handed. Aren’t you going to let me in?"Graham was rendered speechless. He had no choice but to turn around and go back into the house. If Javier had come bearing gifts, he wouldn't have let him in.He refused to accept any gifts when he was the factory manager. Obviously, he would never do it now either.Javier realized that Graham's house was indeed quite si

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
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 868 Miss Material Gurl
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
