The Ace at the Apex Chapter 761 I’ll Let This Slide Twice…But Not Any Longer
Javier made his way to the Faculty of Sports. Just half a month ago, Javier had managed to dig up more than a few odd things about Professor Hubert Trout, whose attendance record had managed to be worse than Javier’s. Even more mysteriously, this strange character appeared to have paid the director of the university 1,500 dollars for some reason. What kind of professor was that? The kind who fancied himself above the norms and rules, of course! The kind who paid his employer rather than the other way around. And also the kind who did not seem to care much about his teaching duties. There was, however, an incident involving his students. One of them, who was trained in martial arts, had an argument with him that ended up becoming a brawl. Hubert floored the student after two to three moves. Naturally, he became Javier’s prime secret Raider member suspect. Then, further investigation revealed that everything on Hubert Trout’s resume was fake, including his identity. It was the kind
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 762 Why Are You Looking For Me?
Claire was infuriated. Being dismissed by her opponent’s actions, not his words, could do that to any self-respecting fighter. She was so angry that she had completely eschewed talking and gone straight to her third attack. She leaped into the air and began throwing successive kicks at him. It was a move not many could master. Even people who had some martial art practice under their belt would typically need to build up momentum by running. Claire, however, was demonstrably an above-average fighter. Her kicks were fast as lightning. “Miss Gard is using her signature lethal move! Wooooooow!”“She’s gonna win this one! No one can handle her successive kicks!”“I’ve been on the receiving end before while wearing full-body gear, and even then, the impact was unbearable!”The students were surprised! They were in awe! They praised and complimented their coach’s most powerful move and thought she would win. But in Javier’s eyes, all that amounted to was nothing more than a fart. It
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 763 The Disappearance of Claire Gard
On the surface, Claire was Hubert’s humble assistant. Most people would intuitively think that the employer was the one making the calls, so naturally, one would think Hubert was the mastermind. And yet, his responses and reactions during the interrogation had made Javier aware of a very serious blind spot. What if it was not Hubert who had hired Claire…but the other way around?As Herschel marched out at his new order, Javier asked Hubert a question. The man basically confirmed Javier’s suspicions: Claire had hired him to be her “employer”. She had also made Hubert pay the director every month, which was only one of several things that would have all-too-easily drawn attention to him rather than her. Javier was not the type to believe a man without hard evidence, so he ordered some of his underlings to detain Hubert for further interrogation. His thoughts drifted to Claire again. He had been careless! He had let the young woman play him like a fiddle. The only hope he had left
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 764 Why Do You Sound So Excited?
“Oh man, you’re inviting me to dinner? Yes! Where?!”Lianna sounded as though she had leapt at the call. She went straight to guessing it was a meetup for dinner too, so one would suspect she had been waiting for Javier to ask her out to have a meal.As soon as Javier met her in person, though, he had a good guess as to the fuel behind her apparent spiritedness. It was vague, but there was gloom shadowing her features. She looked a little upset, as though something bad had just happened to her. While the food was being served, Javier asked. Lianna told him it was nothing, but Javier knew this meant her lips were sealed for the time being. Well, maybe all she needed was some beer. A tipsy woman kept no secrets!Javier ordered two bottles of beer and a fruit smoothie…in a kid pack. It was the stuff young children would drink, so naturally, Lianna picked the beer. If she drank, Javier would think it was no fault of his own. She picked the liquor out of her own free will, right? Now
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 765 Wait—That’s Her!
Javier was done letting Lianna run her mouth. He slapped his hand over her lips, muffling her while signaling for the front-desk lady to give him the card to their room. Then, with his free hand, he pulled out his driver’s license and tossed it on the desk. The procedure was conducted in barely-contained chaos. When it was finally over, Javier had to haul Lianna into the lift before getting to the floor where their room was located. He thought he could lean against the elevator wall and catch a break, but Lianna shattered that illusion almost instantly. “You want a piece of me, don’t you? Admit it! Why else would you call me and not talk about property and sh*t? This was a date that should lead to doing the hanky-panky, huh? Hahaha, I can see right through you—you wanna feel goooooood too, don’t you?”Well, sh*t. Busted. Nevertheless, Javier had almost never slept with an intoxicated woman before. Her inebriated state therefore removed any chance of Javier feeling genuine lust f

The car tore through the freeway until it pulled over at the entrance of Event Horizon. It was one of the biggest bars in the city, a hub for scores and scores of nightly hedonists. Herschel had been waiting for Javier by the front door when he arrived. He had sent some of his people inside to locate Claire among the patrons. Javier nodded, and the two of them strode inside. Technicolor flashes embraced the patrons within, blinding them with a motion of shadows and light, while ear-thumping music reverberated from one’s ears all the way to their skulls. It was chaotic, blood-pumping, and most of all, it made one want to lose themselves. That was especially true when one ogled the bevy of young women and their alluring shapes. Javier was there on a mission, though. Women were not part of his agenda today, so he would have to look over them all to locate Claire. A while later, Herschel’s underling ambled close to Herschel and whispered into his ear. Javier could not make out th
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 767 To Suffer an Appropriate Punishment
Javier loomed over Iseult and placed his hands on her thighs without waiting for her to consent. He stared deeply into her sparkling doe-like eyes. “Oh, Little Iseult. You should know one thing—a real boor springs straight to action instead of mulling it over for you to hear.”The aggression and intimidation in his eyes spelled danger for her. Iseult looked at them, tipping ever more closely toward her, and felt a harrowing sense of dread. Despite the clear knowledge that Grace Jones was her hostage, she felt unsafe. What Javier said made her understand one thing: He did not appreciate being threatened. Growing uneasy, Iseult took a deep breath and began to speak. “Well, I—”She could not even finish her sentence. Javier silenced her with a forceful kiss.Iseult was livid. How dare he force himself on her like this?! She could not imagine a decent man stooping to such disgraceful behavior. Unfortunately for her, there was more where that came from. She then felt his hands coppin
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 768 This Tape Is Very Secure
Iseult was triumphant. Her gaze on Javier was victorious as well.“Didn’t expect it, huh? Mr. Kersey, I purposely talked to you so much just now and I can guarantee that I spoke the truth. But if you dare lay a finger on me, I won’t make the call even if you assault me.“You can look forward to Grace becoming a corpse then!”Iseult was intentionally stalling for time just so she could send a message through her phone. Now that the message had been successfully sent, she did not care. She was victorious, and even Javier had fallen for her trick.Javier furrowed his brows. “You can text without looking? That’s awesome!”“It’s alright. It’s not exactly a skill,” Iseult answered.Javier nodded. “I think so too.”He flashed his screen to her after that, and she realized with a shock that there was already a message on Javier’s screen—“Save Grace.”The message had been sent several minutes earlier than Iseult’s, and she did not even know when he had sent it! She had been gloating and

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 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

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
