All Chapters of The Ace at the Apex: Chapter 161 - Chapter 170

”I’m the chief of Xerxes Village, Thomas Bloom. I heard that you guys are accusing Edelgard. As an old veteran who’s joined the army and fought in wars, I’m very disappointed and sad about everyone’s wrongful accusations.“Edelgard comes to our village every year to teach voluntarily, making monetary and non-monetary donations. She’s sponsored a few university students from our village, as well as numerous ill villagers who needed treatment. It’s also her donations that have allowed us to have a water supply in the village.“On what grounds are all of you accusing Edelgard and calling her a traitor of Yuzuia? Are we, the villagers of Xerxes, Yuzueans?”Thomas berated everyone angrily in the video, letting a few curses slip as he spoke. When his anger crested, he even fished out a cigarette pack with worn-out corners and pulled out a roll-up cigarette to smoke. No one knew if it was due to the smoke or the rage caused by the netizens, but his eyes were moist.“I held a gun and chase

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and half a month flew by just like that.Within two weeks, Reivaj Group went from being unknown to becoming a household name. The beautiful boss, Jade Odell, the ace management head, Chad Floyd McCool, and the finance tycoon, Mary Jane Gould, became famous along with Reivaj Group, while Javier remained an unknown boss.Thanks to his manipulation, no one knew his real identity. Only a few people knew about his existence. This half a month had made Edelgard a real celebrity as well. She hogged the very top of popularity with no competition, and even the bureaucracy department hired her for a movie that was based on her voluntary teaching time in Xerxes Village.Basically, everything was developing and progressing positively. Things were going great.Javier did not have to worry about work anymore during this period of time, as he went to work leisurely each day to flirt with Jade, then took full advantage of her when they went home after work. Th

Zephiel was slightly shocked by Mackenzie’s compliments.“Looks like this Jade woman is a pretty decent woman for you to even say something nice on her behalf.”Mackenzie shook his head. “I wasn’t saying something nice on her behalf. I really did send someone to look into her. She’s a competent woman who knows when she should go on the offensive and when she should stand back. Also, she understands that following Javier’s instructions would be in her best interest and she quietly supports him from behind. Out of all the people I’ve met, she’s very much like my grandmother, both forgiving and understanding. However, Jade’s probably got a much better life than her. Zephiel heaved a long sigh when he heard MacKenzie mention his grandmother. “Marilyn…really didn’t have her life cut out for her. Back when she was in Sammius, she would look through photos every day. Although she never once mentioned it, it was obvious that she was waiting for someone. But until the day she died, she ne

Zephiel burst out laughing in tears when he heard that he was being called society’s scum and a beggar.He then asked Javier, “Do I look like one?”Javier nodded in all seriousness. “Pretty much.”Seeing that Zephiel was about to kick him, Javier hurriedly added, “I look like one too!”Zephiel retracted his leg before it landed on Javier’s butt. However, Zephiel may have given up on kicking Javier, but Gigi had not given up on wanting to scorn the two Kerseys.“Heh, you seem to know your place and that you are a piece of trash. Since you know that you’re being a hindrance here, hurry up and get out of my house! Just the sight of you here makes me sick!”Javier replied, “If you’re feeling sick, you might wanna see a doctor and confirm whether you’re pregnant or not. Otherwise, it probably means you’re about to give birth already.”Gigi did not expect the “scum” to retaliate, so she was instantly infuriated. “I’m not f*cking pregnant! I meant me seeing scum like you makes me sic

Gigi only felt that Javier’s insanity knew no bounds. It was like he had a huge death wish. Furiously, she looked at Javier, and her voice shuddered a little as she said, “Sure…Sure! I’ll get down on my knees if I fail to kill you tonight!“Also, you can f*ck off trying to take advantage of me! There’s no way I’m going to let you do it!”Gigi was so angry she almost coughed up a mouthful of blood. ‘You’re trying to have your way with me? You? Not a chance!’However, Javier could not be bothered to pay her any attention. Instead, he tried to understand the rules of the gambling table. “I just got here from a village, and we usually play with very small bets. What about you guys? Are the stakes high over here?”Meanwhile, the owner of Golden Jack, Michael Hill, made his appearance. Although Michael was new to casinos, he was an expert at gambling techniques.Previously, Michael had learned a few things from his teacher, an expert at cheating. Michael was also a smart man, an activ
