Jake was not happy at all. Of course, nobody could possibly be happy if they were to find another man on top of their wives.Hence, Jake instantly lashed out in anger. “Javier, your f*cking project at Maple Court will never—”“Shh!”Javier gestured for Jake to stop making a fuss.“Go ahead and give your son a phone call. Come back to me after you’re done.”Jake initially did not want to pay Javier any attention, but when he saw how the latter was able to have his way with Anne without any fear, he cautiously suppressed his anger and called his son. The call got connected very soon.Immediately, his son’s hysterical voice resounded as he said, “Dad, help me! He’s already cut off two of my fingers! Hurry up and come save me!!!”Jake was dumbfounded when he heard this. He never thought that Javier would be able to hold his son captive.In fact, he almost went mad when he heard that his son had lost two fingers. Jake went on to hurl curses and hideous statements at Javier before
Of course, Jake would listen to whatever Javier told him to do, or his head would end up being inside the bag! The most terrifying part about the entire thing was the bullet hole right in the center of the head’s glabella, which was inside the black bag.This meant that the man had been killed with a gun.Jake now realized that Javier was out of his league with how Javier went around resolving his issues.Javier had not chopped off his son’s fingers not because he did not have the courage to, but because there was no need to do such a thing.If Javier wanted, he could just lob off his son’s head…After sending Herschel away with the black bag, Javier wrapped his arm around Anne and kissed her red lips.“You’ll stay here from now on and carry on living the life you had before. Jake wouldn’t dare do anything to you unless he wants both his and his son’s head placed inside a bag. So, there’s no need for you to worry about not being able to live your wonderful life in the future at
When Javier rushed to his next destination, he first sat in the sales office for a while to understand the current situation.Danny, the manager of that sales office, had been trained by Javier before, so he had an especially pleasant attitude, knowing that Javier was a very famous person within the company.He tried inviting Javier out for a meal and even arranged other entertainment for him, but Javier rejected all of them.“Time is of the essence, so I want you to tell me more about what’s happening here!”“You really are the role model of our generation, Mr. Kersey…”Danny flattered Javier one more time before he proceeded to talk about serious matters.He said that they had eight more houses left. Initially, a man from a rich family named Gavin Zeal had set his eyes on all eight houses and was about to purchase them when he suddenly changed his mind.Javier asked, “Do you know why he wanted to purchase the houses?”Danny replied, “I know that this is a crucial point, so I’
The waitress was truly stunned. Not once did it cross her mind that Javier would ask for her to do such a thing! Gavin was equally stunned because he never expected Javier would choose to humiliate him like that.While the waitress was still pondering whether Javier was being serious or just joking around, Gavin suddenly said, “Go on, go bring me my cigar, and this 30-thousand-dollar tip is yours.”The waitress was over the moon and was about to leave them in excitement with her newly gained 30 thousand dollars! Before she could even take a step out the door, Javier quickly followed up. “75 thousand dollars for your resignation.”Gavin was shocked. ‘He’s still going at it? Looks like this guy’s quite rich.’“Fine, if it’s a game you want, it’s a game you shall receive!”After that, Gavin said to the waitress. “Hand over your bank account number, and I’ll send you a sum of money today.”The waitress happily and readily gave out her bank account number upon hearing this.She h
Of course, Javier would not bother to meet Gavin that night if it was solely for the sake of those eight houses.After all, all eight of them would not even be worth paying the waitress 7.5 million dollars. No, Javier was planning even further ahead than that.Hence, he told Gavin, “What you need to do is wait for the time being. I’ll come find you after I’m done.”Even if Gavin was unhappy with Javier, he still turned his head around and walked away with hatred in his mind.This was because he now understood that Javier must have something even more important that he needed his help with, so Gavin definitely should not engage in childish arguments at that moment.After Gavin left, the waitress could no longer suppress the wild fire burning within her and yelled out in a tempting manner.This voice left Javier feeling even more excited, which in turn caused him to have an even more exciting battle with the waitress…The entire ordeal lasted almost two hours before it all ended.
Gavin agreed ultimately. There was no way he could disagree as he and his father could not win against Javier. Besides, it was a property purchase. Their money was not exactly wasted as it would be regained when they sold the property in the future.Javier patted their shoulders, and they left the hotel together. Javier had not meant for Gavin to leave with him, but the latter kept up next to him. Javier finally understood his intention when he came to his car.His Cullinan was blocked by Gavin’s car. The latter quickly apologized with a grimace, “Mr. Kersey, this is an accident. I didn’t know it was your car. I’ll move right now.”The valet who was getting ready to pander to Gavin from the side was stunned by what Gavin said. Who was this? It was Gavin Zeal, the local famous Mr. Zeal, but he was apologizing to someone?The valet could not help feeling lucky that he did not get to interrupt in time just now, or his mouth might be swollen from being slapped by now…After Gavin shif
“Our Eighth Master is scared of who? No one! No one is his rival!”“Exactly. Eighth Master’s spent more than 450 thousand dollars on this platform. He’s rich!”“I heard that Eighth Master’s family owns a factory that makes a lot of money…”People bootlicked Eighth Master after he sent the rockets, and many more prodded Canon Cat to keep taking off her clothes. It was none of their concern if her account would be banned for taking clothes off in a live stream or how it would affect a girl’s honor. All they thought of was to satisfy their visual urge and not waste the tissues they had long prepared.The truth was, Reivaj did not give them the continuation they wanted. When 99 rockets were shot on the screen in bundles, everyone was shot into stupefaction that even the comments like “so cool” were drowned.It was not just the audience. Canon Cat was completely baffled as she looked at her phone next to Javier. She had no idea how to react to the current situation. She calculated it
Zoey fled. Her little trick of hanging on and staying in the car was not really effective.Javier smiled while looking at Zoey’s retreating back and drove back to the hotel he was staying at.As for Zoey, who watched Javier drive away, she was struck with the sudden realization that Javier was not even thinking of molesting her. He was just scaring her, so she thought that he was a good man—a really good man.There were good returns for being kind. At least, that was what Zoey thought as she pulled out her phone to make a call.“Dad, there’s a Javier Kersey in your company…”That night, Javier washed up and went to bed in the hotel without doing anything. When he woke up the next day, he was still free and roamed the city.While he did, he saw an automobile show here. It was not that he was buying a car. He was just bored and was killing time, as well as checking out Chinean automobiles’ sales in passing.As he had predicted, Chinean sold very well. There was a large group of pe
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
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
