The Ace at the Apex Chapter 605 A Late-Night Chat at the Bar
The car sped all the way to a local bar.Upon entering, Kaiser ordered two glasses of whiskey before he sat with his son and had a chat with him. Javier even found out that a woman called Shirley Quinn was Kaiser’s subordinate.However, there was one thing he still could not figure out. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier that she’s one of your people?”“It’s a very long story, but it begins with the fact that she’s motherless!”After a long sigh of exclamation, Kaiser took a drink before he gave Javier an explanation. “In short, I didn’t expect you to approach her. I only found out about your appearance after she told me everything. I wasn’t going to tell you anything originally because I didn’t want you to get involved with the Raiders…”Kaiser then went on to say a lot of things. He did not want Javier to be involved with the Raiders because of the fact that Javier was his only son. After all, no father in the world would willingly put his son in danger. When Kaiser realized
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 606 You’re a Rather Domineering One！
Obviously, the darkness in the bar had been caused by a power outage. Everything very quickly returned to normal, but Kaiser was no longer in front of Javier.The entire ordeal had not even taken 10 seconds, yet Kaiser had managed to disappear without a trace.Javier rushed out of the bar and noticed that the vintage Rolls Royce was still around.However, the car was now completely empty.There was a note on the driver’s seat that said… ‘Stop trying to look for me. Do you think you’re going to find me when the old fox couldn’t?’Javier was rendered speechless.He looked around at the heaps of cars driving past but could not discern which one Kaiser was in, which obstructed any intention he had of trying to locate his father.‘D*mn it, Dad. There’s seriously nothing I can do about you coming and going like a phantom.’At that moment, Javier heard a clear voice singing a tune coming from the radio. “My dear father, the man I love the most…”‘What the f*ck?! Now you’re just tryin

The woman who had entered was very beautiful and seemed to be in her early 30s. She had a slim and tall figure with a fair complexion and exquisite facial features.She had burgundy-colored long hair with soft curls and was perfectly showing off her beauty with her light makeup. After questioning Leila, the woman turned to look at Javier with slight disdain in her eyes.“Are you a man or not? How can you still feign ignorance and remain calm after being scolded so badly?!”Javier shot a glance at the woman. ‘She’s quite pretty. Plus, she’s got a pretty hot body. Who is she?’Javier did not even want to explain that he had chosen to feign ignorance because he could not be bothered to deal with Leila. In fact, he did not think there was a need for him to explain himself. However, others did not have the same opinion, and the first person to think so was Leila. Leila had originally been in a bad mood, so she was exploding in flames of anger now that she had just been questioned
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 608 You’re Abusing Your Power for a Personal Grudge
It was common for competing departments to sabotage each other, but it was unheard of for coworkers to foil each other.Despite that, Leila had made it clear. She was set to screw up Javier and the unit he was selling.Javier was indifferent when he heard what Leila said, not even bothered to offer her a sarcastic smile. After ignoring her, Javier took a helmet and went to the construction site with Mrs. Bailey.Javier introduced it to Mrs. Bailey like a considerate little brother as they looked at the site.“Many people think that it’s going to bubble from how the property market’s price falls, so they plan to wait but what they’ll get in return is usually the price rising again after a few days.“They’ll then rush to buy with the worry that the price will increase even more.“That’s why it’s the best time to purchase right now as the price is dropping…“Like the eighth floor that you’re looking at, I’d suggest you take a look at the seventh floor instead. It’s not that I want

Leila’s accusation was so loud that the coworkers in the office outside could hear her. This angered Sofia that her rage could barely diminish even when Leila was driven out of the company.Leila, who had packed her personal belongings, glared at Javier when she passed by. “Just you wait. I won’t make life easy for you…”Javier was nonchalant about Leila’s pre-departure threat. He had dared plot against Raiders, so what was a mere Leila to him?Flipping through the company information, Javier did his best to understand the overall operation of Maple Court. It was his daily routine now, as each second and minute of his free time was used to understand these as soon as he could.It was boring, but it was necessary in order to climb to a sufficient height within the shortest time possible.Sofia had been a little upset about Javier due to what happened with Leila since she was accused for no reason because of him. However, she was significantly less disgruntled when she saw how dilig
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 610 It’s Coming for Him
After carrying Sofia back home and settling her down, Javier washed, returned to his bedroom, and turned in for the night after going through some files.He had no idea how long he had been asleep when a shrill screech came from the outside suddenly and woke him up.He hurried out of his room only to see Sofia sitting on the couch in a daze as she scanned her surroundings anxiously. She seemed even more nervous when she saw Javier.“Y-You…Why am I here? What did you do to me!?”Javier was rendered speechless. “You got drunk, and I wanted to send you back but couldn’t get a cab, so I brought you to my place. As for what I did to you…If I had really done something, you wouldn’t not feel it?”Sofia blushed the moment Javier retorted with his question, but she looked much more relaxed after that. Obviously, she must not have felt different, and that alone was enough to prove that Javier had not done anything to her.After sitting around for a moment, she asked awkwardly, “Uh, do you
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 611 Why Is He So Calm?
Every employee in the sales office was waiting for the VIP client to walk in except Javier, who was still doing what he usually did. He was either reading up or calling clients to follow up, seemingly uncaring of the matter.His coworker advised him, “Aren’t you silly? We’re all doing our best to receive the client!”Javier smiled nonchalantly, and his coworker gave up upon seeing he was unable to get to Javier.Since they had caught wind of the VIP client’s visit, everyone looked anxious when the office door opened. It was not just the salespeople outside. Even Sofia glanced out of her office occasionally, anticipating the client.Despite that, it was like the client had no idea of their sales office as there was no sight of them. From morning to afternoon, the office did not get any new visitors other than the regular clients they would have.Even with these regular clients, the employees were disinterested in serving them and looked sluggish. Some had even offered the clients t
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 612 Her Second Visit
The discount for 68 units was not something Sofia could decide as a sales manager. After all, they were not an authorized agent but a direct sales company under Maple Court. Once she talked to the company and confirmed the details, they did not have to sign the contract either, as it would be signed directly by the higher-ups in the company.The sales belonged to them, and there was no doubt about it. The achievement and commission were theirs as well.That night, Sofia wanted to treat everyone again happily, but no one wanted to go as they were not in a good mood. After all, they had waited the whole day fantasizing about hitting the jackpot only to find that dream crushed.Javier did not want to join either, but Sofia had forced him to, unrelenting even when he said no. She was getting more curious about Javier now. She had been under the impression that he was timid back when she had just come to the sales office, but she realized Javier was not meek after spending this period of

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
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
