The Ace at the Apex Chapter 541 An Interesting Automobile Company
After getting off the plane in Warler, Javier, Quinna, and the rest took a car to the small town in the county.When they finally found a hotel to stay in, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening.After having dinner together, the people Quinna had appointed to find information about the hydrogen-powered system there had already found something.The person who was newly involved in the hydrogen-powered system was Keith Cadman. He was in his fifties and was the chairman of Zegen Automobile.Zegen Automobile was an emerging car company with new energy as its main subject. In the past, they produced battery-powered cars.To put it bluntly, they were four-wheeled transportation that had the battery of a three-wheeled scooter and the shell of a car.Logically speaking, the owner of such a manufacturer would never be able to develop or even get associated with a hydrogen-powered system.Therefore, Javier was more curious about Keith Cadman, the chairman of Zegen Automobile. H
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 542 There’s a Mole
Javier wanted to investigate and determine whether the hydrogen-powered system of the car was the same as his.However, it would be impossible for him to buy it because they had not signed the contract, so they would have doubts about his motives.It would be bad if they woke the sleeping dog.As such, Javier plotted something and suggested getting a car for a test drive.It was a very normal request, so the sales manager did not refuse. He happily agreed.In a short while, a brand new SUV came out. The design and form looked just like a Mercedes-Benz G-Class.If they changed the logo, it would be a Mercedes-Benz G-Class because it looked exactly the same.However, the accessories in the car were of terrible quality. Not only were the seats knitted, but they were also uncomfortable to sit on.The door was also loose. It was like a 10-year-old vintage car.When Javier got into the car, he felt uncomfortable no matter how he adjusted. Nothing felt right.It was expected from a
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 543 More Than an Encounter
When Javier saw the woman whose bag was robbed, he suddenly recalled the familiar girl he saw in the photo of Keith Cadman, the chairman of Zegen Automobile. It was Mallory Cadman, the woman who had been conned when traveling to Heinfernsmirtz Inc.At this time, Mallory was snatching her bag from the thief, and her cries made the thief feel a sense of fear. He quickly took out a knife and threatened Mallory aggressively. He probably did that to warn her he would stab her if she did not back off.Still, Mallory refused to give up. She was either willing to sacrifice her life for money or was simply fearless and did not want to put up with the thief.There was no time to think. Javier rushed forward immediately and grabbed the thief’s arm when he was about to stab Mallory. He then slammed him to the ground and kicked him in the head.The ground was made of hexagonal cement blocks, and when Javier stomped on the thief, he went completely unconscious."It's you!?"Mallory was astonis
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 544 An Honest Person
Mallory had no intention of covering up her company’s scandals. She was straightforward, so if she was wrong, so be it. She would not go on if she knew she was wrong.Still, she thought the sales manager was quite an idiot.This time, they were at fault. Even though Javier knew that, he was willing to let things slide. Τηθσ, she was willing to admit her mistakes and correct them.However, what would happen if they were not at fault? Wouldn’t that mean that any of their competitors could just buy a car from their sales manager?It was an utter joke that their competitor had managed to get their car and study it before it even got listed on the market.Mallory was clearly very unhappy with the sales manager.However, the sales manager was confused and felt like he was wronged."It wasn't like that when he came the other day. I really didn't know he was the chairman of Reivaj Group!"After expressing his grievances to Mallory, the sales manager started complaining to Javier."How
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 545 Find All of Them
When Keith found out about it, he specifically asked a lawyer about this issue.The lawyer's answer was straightforward. "Infringement? Just pay for it. If it’s serious, you’ll be imprisoned. Simple as that."The lawyer's answer scared Keith, so he decided not to work with the person who provided the hydrogen-powered system.However, the person did not care about patent infringement at all. "Why are you afraid of patent infringement? You can just change the legal person of the enterprise. If it comes to the point where they want to sue the legal person of the enterprise, it’ll not be you. Someone will take your place, even in prison."Besides, aren’t you thinking too highly of yourself? Reivaj Group is huge. Why would they even notice you? It’s like catching two tiny shrimps in a big river. You’re just taking a little bit from the catch. Reivaj Group wouldn’t even notice that a tiny fraction of their catch had gone missing…"After a little more temptation and persuasion, Keith cou
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 546 Wasn’t Raised as a Wimp
Quinna understood and agreed without hesitation.Since she could not go back anyway, it would be nice to travel around with Javier while they were here.Besides, the scenery in Warler was breathtaking. It was relaxing and beautiful.In the next few days, Javier accompanied Quinna as they strolled around. It also helped him forget about his worries.However, he did not let his guard down when it came to business. Herschel and three other men went to see him immediately after they arrived.The person who had contacted Keith Cadman was Benny Mahoney. Benny was a local. According to Herschel's investigation, he was also a rogue.Javier did not believe for a second that a rogue could take the Reivaj Group’s hydrogen-powered system all by himself.Thus, Javier instructed them to not do anything to him but to follow him instead and to pay close attention to everyone he was in contact with.But so far, there were no potential suspects yet…On this day, Javier and Quinna went to play i

Mila’s eyes were now filled with fear, but not because of the knife that was on her body. Instead, it was from the lustful gaze Javier was giving her.The moment she met Javier, she knew why she had been caught.However, she had naively thought that since Javier was the chairman of a corporation, he would behave like those shameless thugs.Because of this, she had not been fearful of her own safety. She had been under the impression that Javier would let her walk free since he still had legal rights to uphold.Lo and behold, never would she ever come to figure out that Javier did not need to uphold the law at all. Instead, all he needed were the people trying to attack him, including Mila. Thus, now that she was standing right in front of him, he would not go easy on her in the slightest! Hence, Mila yelled hysterically as she tried to struggle and break free from her restraints at the next moment.However, forget her, even a fully grown man would not be able to escape from Hers

Two hours had passed by the time they were over.At present, Mila no longer had the strength to curse at Javier.Javier had also had his fill of fun. But after the fun, he had serious business to look into.“I’m now interested to hear what you have to say about the hydrogen propulsion system again. Are you interested in telling me about it?”Mila was only panting with her reddened face and could not answer Javier’s question. Hence, Javier nodded. “I have reason to believe that you aren’t interested in giving me the answer. Instead, you’re more interested in me because you still want more.”“No! I don’t want any more! I don’t!”Javier had not finished his sentence yet, but Mila hurriedly stopped him from saying any further with her face deathly pale. She genuinely did not dare want to go through that anymore.Just once was enough to leave her feeling hysterical, so if Javier were to do it again, or even get the three men outside like he had said, she would surely die!Hence, a

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

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

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
