“You…didn’t secretly study all this before we left, right?” Suzanne asked aloud, feeling shocked. The breadth of his encyclopedic knowledge was just too hard to believe.Javier smiled and nodded. “Definitely! I even learned how to predict the future last night. That’s how I knew ahead of time that we were gonna visit Gauthe’s residence.”Suzanne knew he was joking. Javier would never learn any form of augury, and it was even more impossible for him to have known that she would want to visit Gauthe’s house. It had been a spur-of-the-moment request on her side, as Javier had never made any formal traveling plans.In other words, Javier had not been secretly memorizing trivia about Gauthe—he was genuinely a pro.As the two of them talked among themselves, another foreign couple stepped closer to them. Judging by their conversation and the language they used, they were Chineans too. The woman, Mallory Cadman, told her boyfriend, “I’ve never read Fowst before, but I know it’s like, supe
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 474 Feeling Proud of Javier
As Javier spoke, Donny was baffled. He did not even have the confidence to retort to the insult thrown at him at the end of Javier’s sentence. That was because he felt that Javier was not acting cool and making things up. He really knew what he was talking about.It was then a blond, blue-eyed foreigner came over and clapped formally.“Excellent. Mister, you’ve successfully dispelled my impression of Chineans being ignorant and foolish just now. Thank you.”The foreigner spoke Chinean fluently, but what he said was kind of disgruntling.“Oh, my bad. I think that didn’t come out accurately, but please, believe me, I don’t mean what you think I meant. It was because of this man’s nonsensical explanation just now that I think he’s ignorant and foolish. I wasn’t generalizing.”Javier felt slightly better with the explanation. Certain people could be ignorant and foolish, but one must not put the label on everyone. That would be a suicide attempt.The foreigner then turned to Donny.
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 475 You Scum
Traveling these days allowed Javier and Suzanne to interact more.Suzanne was deeply impressed by Javier’s profound knowledge. She did not know how his head could store all this stuff. It was like he knew everything. Her instinct as a medical researcher even filled her with the impulse of dissecting his head. She ought to study if Javier’s head was battery-charged and contained a microcomputer in there.Javier grew to like Suzanne even more as well. The woman was kind and intelligent, a little sly at times. Women like her were popular among men, so the reason she had not been dating all these years must be due to her concentration in medical research—not that she was purely chasing after wealth.Nathaniel had promised her before that as long as she fulfilled a certain number of years working for him, he would let her put her name on one of the patents. That was why Suzanne had been working so hard and did not even have the time for a boyfriend. She wanted to prove her worth!There
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 476 You’re the Reward
After what happened at Gurtuh’s the last time, Mallory had no longer wanted anything to do with Donny, but the man resorted to sweet words and repeated promises that he would not lie to her again. Thus, she had chosen to forgive him—yet, he not only tried to steal today but also lied to her without batting an eye like she was a fool.Mallory was furious. Her hands may be cuffed, but it did not stop her from raising her leg and kicking Donny with her heels-clad foot, making the latter hiss in pain.Javier could care less about this. He had more important things to do.“If you both want to leave this place, the best thing to do now is to shut up and let me handle it.”“Why must we—”Another kick from Mallory shut Donny up.If Javier had not been worried about the incident embarrassing Chineans, he would not even care about these two people. Donny, especially, could be drowned in the lake for all he cared!Swinging his hand, Javier slapped Donny again without any forewarning. Donny
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 477 Useful as a Person
That night, Javier did not return to his room but slept with Suzanne. Even then, nothing actually happened between them as Javier chose to respect Suzanne’s wishes.Of course, it also had to do with the lab being abandoned after he offended Suzanne back then.After returning from the overseas trip, the assembled equipment arrived soon after them. Usually, the vice CEO would send such a huge order over. Still, Javier was obviously not a usual case to Heinfensmirtz Inc. Adolf sent it personally and promised that there would be a 60% discount when the rest of the equipment would be sent over within half a month.The discount was shocking—taking 96 million dollars off 160 million dollars—so Javier could not help asking, “You’re done being the CEO, is that the case?”Adolf was determined. “Even if the board of directors kicked me out, I stand firm to show my favor to you, Mr. Kersey. I strongly believe that you’re my lucky star.”Javier chuckled. “What if I watch you get kicked out a

Most of the researchers who were on leave had returned by the time the equipment arrived. Compared to the original research team, a total of five people were missing. Alyssa was—well, who knew where she was decomposing right now, while the other four had left the team for their own reasons.Luckily, they were only assistants and would not hinder the research progress. They were not too aware of the invention process in particular either. In Suzanne’s words, they were people who could not provide any insightful answers even if other research teams recruited them.Suzanne led the members to begin installing the adjusting equipment and running the experiment on the psoriasis vaccine once more. The effect turned out well. The vaccine could both prevent and treat psoriasis and demonstrated a decent efficacy. The result pleased Javier.Hence, the drug manufacturing plant began to manufacture in batches while Javier sent the vaccine to relevant departments as well as went to a professional
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 479 What Rotten Luck
Steve was terrified. He never thought in a million years that the huge gift Javier had meant would turn out to be such a thing.Although the photo of him having a meal with a certain higher-up was not enough to prove anything, he had no idea what other things Javier’s huge gift contained, which was the point that terrified him the most.After successfully gaining Steve’s attention, Javier packed up his things and was about to leave.Of course, there was no way Steven would allow Javier to walk away, so he hurriedly stood up to stop him.“Hang on, my friend, please. That’s a rather wonderful gift you’ve got there. May I see it first?”Javier smiled and said, “What’s the matter, Mr. Collings? Are you interested in my gift now? You didn’t seem to think much about it just now, though!”Steven smiled in embarrassment, seeming especially apologetic. “I didn’t realize your gift would pack such a huge punch.”Javier continued. “So, you want to know if there’s anything that packs an even
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 480 I’m Bullying You for the Rest of Your Life
Steve had been on the phone for a very long time, trying to show his sincerity.However, Javier did not seem to be the least bit interested in his invitation. After all, he knew exactly what Steve was up to, so he rejected his invitation.Evidently, he would not allow Steven to have that honor of buying him a meal. Why should he anyway?After hanging up the phone, Javier sat in his car and immediately returned to the research center.In the end, the moment he met up with Suzanne and told her that the patent’s application was about to be completed, the latter suddenly complained to him about something. “Although my subordinates haven’t made any extra requests, don’t you think it isn’t appropriate for them to live together in the same quarters?”Javier was confused as to what was happening. It was not until Suzanne explained everything that he realized they did not have suitable accommodations for the researchers. Doug had arranged for them to live in their company accommodations,

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

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

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 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

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
