All Chapters of The Ace at the Apex: Chapter 701 - Chapter 710

Just as Javier was about to introduce his knuckles to the barking dog, Zenya appeared.Not keen on causing unnecessary trouble, he ended up stopping himself. Charlie, for his part, saw this as a sign of Javier’s cowardice. Pleased, he sprung toward the campus field as though he had already carried the day.Javier leered at the young man’s back and scoffed before turning his attention to Zenya. “How did the operation go?”She nodded happily. “It was a great success! The doctor told me that her illness is most likely never coming back. She’s basically cured!”That was genuinely great news. Javier could not help being happy for her.She blushed. “It’s all thanks to you. If it weren’t for you, I…” she began.Javier waved. ‘Twas hardly a problem for him. It had been as easy as holding the door open for someone else.Zenya, of course, thought differently. For one, had Javier not appeared, she would have been stuck in a quandary she was not sure how to get out of. She had been so close

Javier had the time of his life that night. Megara and Cher both, who were intoxicated and satisfied, would agree. The three of them lay on Javier’s comfy king-sized bed, feeling the most content they had ever been.Charlie Larson and his vindictive crusade against Javier had gone great too. At least only his legs were broken, and not irreparably so. It was a painful lesson at most, but nothing an orthopedic cast and three months’ worth of bedrest could not fix. Charlie was just a kid, after all. That was enough reason for Herschel to show some mercy.Of course, Charlie himself found this a lot less merciful. It only cemented how much he hated Javier for setting up this trap to harm and damage him.While lying on a hospital bed, Charlie turned to his father’s girlfriend, Kira Yorke. “I don’t care! You’re gonna help me pay him back, or I’ll tell my dad you don’t care about me and let other people beat me up!”Kira used to be in a gang herself, and the expansive tattoos stretching fr

Javier put away his phone after he hung up and smiled at Kira, who was farther away.“It was planned. I purposely made him call now so I could scare you.”Kira chuckled wryly because she knew that it was impossible. Everything had happened spontaneously. How could Javier have arranged for it in advance? It could only be a coincidence—and only a coincidence like this one would disclose the real facts.This was a man who disregarded even Freddy, and she had offended him by threatening to incapacitate him, all at her own expense…Kira was ashamed once she thought of the bluster that had left her mouth just now. She was terrified. She honestly could not understand how that brat Charlie had provoked such an intimidating person or why the guy had only broken Charlie’s legs. The punishment had been honestly quite light—kind, even.Kira finally spoke up after some contemplation.“Mr. Carsey, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have p*ssed you off. Charlie just got his legs broken. It was already a

After Javier sat down and Kira sat on his lap, the server with the tray of 150-million-dollar crystal chips approached them with a long face. A few of those chips on the tray could have belonged to him, but because he had looked down on Javier…Sigh!The casino chips were placed on the table with a red cloth covering them, so no one would know how much there was under it.Javier glanced at the table and asked Kira, “What are the rules here?”“It’s more or less the same. Free table, turn-taking bankers, the starting bet is 150,000 dollars without a maximum limit, and going blind is allowed,” Kira answered.Going blind meant not checking the cards and purely gambling based on luck. Javier had known about it for a long time.After the game started, Javier touched Kira’s warm, supple legs. Even though the barrier of their pants was between them, the touch was still warm and soft.It was fortunate that Kira’s legs were under the table and no one could see, so she was not as shy. She ev

“Mr. Kersey, why don’t we pause the game for now and have a talk before we go on?”Kyle did not want to lose his money. That was almost all he had, so he wanted to talk to Javier privately in the VIP room. They could chat and get acquainted, maybe even form a connection. Who knows, maybe they had a mutual friend or two. This way…Well, he would not dream of not losing money, but as long as he lost less, it would be good.Unfortunately, Javier had read his mind. “Trying to make friends now? Nope.”Kyle had been destined not to leave with his money the moment he had appeared with his 150 million dollars. There was no such thing as coveting Javier’s money and wanting to retreat unscathed when the plan failed.Kyle was nettled when Javier refused to reciprocate his offer to be friends. How could such a person exist? He was not being the least bit courteous! That said, Kyle had an influence on the gangs too.The next moment, his smile faltered as he scowled. “It seems that you’re not do
