Javier did have a solution to dispel the bad luck and negative energy there, but he believed that Wilson would not accept it.Wilson was skeptical and kept questioning him, so Javier told him ultimately, “Get 500 workers, and I’ll put up an Ehta Drakos for you using concrete to forcefully balance out the energy level there.”“500 construction workers? I don’t need that many men to build a tower!”Wilson went silent when he thought of the salary of the workers and the construction fees for the concrete and everything else. He refused to relent, though, and asked, “Is there a way to save a little more money or not spend a dime?”Javier lit a cigarette and leaned back against the chair as he answered, “Sure, have someone die there.”The Soul Flame of someone who was unlucky enough to die in an accident would make the negative energy dissipate and burn away.“Resume construction work and wait until someone dies there. It’ll be fine then.”How could Wilson use this approach when it w
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 805 The Rapping Master
Javier was pulled off by Wilson as soon as he exited the bathroom, leaving a stunned Evanna in the living room.Hasty footsteps were heard next as Joey hurried downstairs. When she was on the last step, she took the time to smooth out her clothes and hair before she made her appearance in the living room. With a beaming face, she said, “Wilson, it’s not nice for others to see you come to see me this early in the morning. I think it’s better that you meet me in the office next time. We’ll—Eh, where’s Wilson?”Joey looked around, but there was no Wilson there.Evanna spoke up from the side. “Mom, stop being vain. He was here for Javier, and they both left.”That was awkward for Joey. She had spent all that time dressing up for nothing. Despite that, she did not understand. “Why was Wilson here to meet Javier this early in the morning?”Evanna replied weakly, “Who knows? And he talked to me as though I was trying to sabotage him.”That confused Joey even more, as she had no idea wha
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 806 Why Don’t We Stop?
After a few exchanges, Javier had forced curse words out of Uri, and the latter’s grace and elegance had disappeared in the blink of an eye.Even Wilson could not help questioning if the guy was an actual master, as he did not look quite convincing.Just as Javier was about to keep questioning Uri, Jared came over. He nodded at Wilson in greeting and frowned at Javier.“Javier, this is not the place to joke. The master is noble in status. You mustn’t doubt or insult him.”He then bowed at Uri. “Master Copeland, Javier doesn’t know any better. Please look past this.”Uri waved a hand loftily. “It’s fine, it’s fine. If one has to be blamed, I’m to be blamed for lacking in skills. I can’t blame others for doubting me.”The back and forth between the two men ended with Javier being accused of being insensible and Uri getting a reputation for being humble.Jared then scanned the others and said, “I, Jared Griffin, personally visited the Arcadian Order and prayed there on my knees for
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 807 He’s Like a Dog
Jared leaned against the car door in the cruising car and perched his legs up on the backseat, looking relaxed, completely unlike how poised he was in front of others.Master Uri Copeland, who was said to have come from the Arcadian Order, sat in the passenger seat with his seatbelt on obediently.“Uri, it’s been a few years since you started fortune telling on the streets and you’ve come across many people. How did a piece of trash manage to expose you? If I hadn’t saved the day just now, you’d have been a goner!”Uri chuckled awkwardly and nodded. “Yes, yes, Mr. Griffin, you are really clever. I’d have exposed myself if it weren’t for you.”“Duh. Do I need you to remind me that I’m clever?”Jared scoffed at Uri and shook his legs on the seat leisurely, looking triumphant as he lay back against the car door.“No one will dare lay a finger on the construction site after what happened today, and that land’s price is going to drop further for sure. I’ll just buy it without making a
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 808 So Brave! So Observant!
Wilson ordered his tractormen to continue digging. Others might not know any secrets, but Jared did. If word got out, those people would break his nose…and then some!He shot a look at Uri Copeland, who knew exactly what that look meant. He rushed forward quickly, ready to interfere. “No, stop this at once! You might release the ancient demon if you keep doing this! Doom shall befall us all—”Wilson lodged a fist straight into Uri’s head. “Doom, my *ss!” he snarled, seething at the shaman’s mere presence. Had Javier not pointed this out, he would have been considered a fool forever!The crowd was aghast. What had gotten into Wilson’s head? How could he dare beat up someone as eminent as Master Shaman, Uri Copeland?!As the beating went on, the crowd started noticing something weird. How could someone formidable enough to defeat an ancient demon from a thousand years ago suddenly become the punching bag of a normal person like Wilson? It did not seem like it made sense, right?Wi
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 809 On My Face
A man from Gerra Construction Corp’s financial department arrived while the two of them were talking. He had a bag of 15,000 dollars with him. Wilson was a man of his word, at the very least. True to his promise, he put the bag in Javier’s arms before adding sheepishly, “Look, Javier, Joey is your mother-in-law, okay? I just think…it’s not a good idea to make things hard for her, y-you know?”Javier smiled after receiving his money. “Calm down, Mr. Jolley. I was joking. I can’t hurt Evanna’s mother in any way, shape, or form, right? Besides, this is your money. If I hit her with a stash of money you gave me, she’s only gonna come for your head too.”Wilson breathed a sigh of relief. “Right! That’s exactly right! Ha, I knew you’d understand!” He had to revisit his past judgment of the kid from now on—he had underestimated Javier too much. Not only was he inhumanely gifted, but he was also super talented in all matters related to social interaction and relationships. It actually ma
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 810 Damn, How Did My Mother-In-Law Do It?
Joey was stunned by the 15,000 dollars of cash scattering about. She had not expected the black shopping bag to contain such a thing, which was why she had been so flagrant about taunting him. Who would have known that the very thing she had taunted him about would turn out to be true?Hell, she had not even thought she would end up shooting herself in the foot! Evanna was just as baffled. She had wanted to step in at any given opening as soon as her mother had intruded on their conversation, thinking that her mother was too much. But now that she was eyeing the money on the floor, she realized why Javier had been gripping his bag so tightly just now. It was less because he was infuriated and more because he had been suppressing the impulse to toss the money on her mother’s face. All that self-control had been for naught, though. Joey had ended up embarrassing herself.The older woman herself stayed rooted to the floor, mouth agape, suddenly unsure what to do next. She was the on
The Ace at the Apex Chapter 811 Hold Out Your Hand! Feel It!
Evanna’s grandfather’s birthday was coming right up, and Javier needed to get a suitable gift. After some thought, he decided to find something on a street renowned for its antique shops. Javier was no expert at these things. Like most people, he was a total noob and a prime target for rip-offs. But Javier was not afraid of that at all. He was special after all. He knew that real antiques possessed energy essence that could only be created by time, and unlike common plebeians, his Astral Sight could see it. Naturally, Javier was the only man on Earth who could tell if an antique was genuine or not by looking into its temporal energy. Javier took a casual stroll down the street with his hands behind his back. Everything seemed cool. Everything seemed to be vying for his interest. Unfortunately, his demeanor alerted the veteran vendors by showing his inexperience. It was like a neon sign above his head, telling them he was the biggest sucker they had met in a long, long time…Exci

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

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
