Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 511 – A Loser Or The President Adams
Time passed and the car arrived at West Bridge and slowly stopped roadside. Lucia sat in the back seat, thinking intently. about something, with no intention of getting out of the car. Zane next to her hesitated for a moment and reminded in a low voice, “Lucia, we have arrived.”
Lucia heard the sound, and only then did she come back to her senses. She turned her head to look out the window, then nodded numbly and casually
responded, “Okay.” With that, she pushed open the car door and was about to get out.
he door was just halfway open when her hand suddenly stopped, as if she thought of something, and turned her head towards Zane. “Do you still remember what Ethan said?” Zane was slightly stunned, asking, “What?”
Lucia’s eyes were bright as she said, “At the beginning when I asked him if he controlled August, he said August had long been caught by the wolves in the mountains, and his bones had been cleaned up.” Zane nodded somewhat hesitantly, saying, “He did say so.”
When she received the affirmation, Lucia’s eyes flashed with a light and asked, “Why would Ethan say that August would be caught by the wolves in the
mountains? Could it be that they fought with August and threw him into the mountains afterwards?” While speculating, she loo
ked at Zane and continued to ask, “Could that be possible?” Zane thought about it and kept silent for some time. Then he nodded, saying, “I
think it’s possible.” Then Lucia asked, “Did you guys go to Evergreen Mountain to look for clues at first?”
Zane shook his head and replied, “No, at first, we were amazed to find Evergreen Temple based on the cell phone signal we located. It was such an isolated and dilapidated place that no one lived there. So, we never went up the mountain to look for him.
Hearing what he said, Lucia pondered for a moment and looked at the time. Then
she took a deep breath and said, “Talk to Kylan tomorrow morning, and we’ll take
some people to search the mountain.”
With Bishop’s style, if he wanted to monopolize the Lion group, he would
certainly not allow August to pose a threat to him. The best place to kill someone
and cover up the crime was in a remote place. So, he chose to kill August in
Evergreen Temple on Evergreen Mountain which was remote and sparsely
populated.
Lucia insisted on finding August dead or alive. Even if they had to go up the
mountain, they should seize any clue and look for him. At that, Zane had some
doubts. Evergreen Mountain was not big, but finding someone in several
mountains was like finding a needle in a haystack. It was very difficult.
He took a look at Lucia’s determined face, and did not say anything. After all, she
did not seem to joke. Moreover, if she had not been thoughtful today, they would
not have been able to get rid of Ethan.
He answered in a low voice, “Okay, I’ll inform Kylan later.”
Lucia nodded, then smiled at him before she got out of the car and walked
towards the villa. As she walked, she thought about tomorrow’s plans in her
mind.
In the past few days, they had searched almost the entire Austos City, but there
were no clues. Even though they were all August’s most loyal men, they were
now a group without a leader, and they would not rashly listen to a woman.
Besides, with their hopes destroyed one after another, their fighting spirit and
confidence had suffered a blow.
All things couldn’t go on like this anymore. Otherwise, everything would be more
difficult to handle later on. With this in mind, she accelerated her steps and
walked quickly into the Westbridge Park villa.
Time flashed. In the blink of an eye, it was night and one day passed. In the
mountains, the night was especially dark. As soon as it got dark, everything
seemed to be covered with a layer of dark gauze. There was very little artificial
lighting except for the hazy moonlight.
In the open courtyard outside the wing-room, a man sat under a peach tree with
the moonlight shining on his solitary shadow, not moving for a long time.
Suddenly, a silent figure approached next to him. The comer stared at the man.
Then he took a jacket from the wing-room, walked over and handed it to the man,
saying, “President Adams, cover your legs, don’t get cold.”
When he heard that, the man’s body stiffened slightly. Then he slowly raised his
hand, and took the jacket, but did not put it on He slowly lifted his chin as the
moonlight shone down, which illuminated his face.
Compared to a month or so ago, August was much thinner. Now, his face was
skeletal and angular. There were some beards around his lips and chin that he
hadn’t shaved. He looked indifferent and cool with his thin lips tightly pursed. “I
thought I said to you to stop calling me that.”
At that, Burton wanted to say something. His mouth moved, but he didn’t say
anything finally. He had been with August for several years and the two people
were like mentors and friends to each other. They were not in a common
relationship between boss and employee. It was not offensive at all for Burton to
call him August. But Burton did not think it appropriate, despite what August had
said,
When Burton didn’t make a sound, August suddenly sneered. He mocked
himself, asking, “How could I still be President Adams? I am just a loser now.” He
had lost his company, his power and his capital. He was no longer President
Adams. Burton frowned at his words, “Did that little monk in the kitchen talk
nonsense again?”
“It’s none of his business.” August was very calm, his face emotionless, and said,
“I’ve known it all now.”
For the past month, they did not allow him to use electronic devices, including
cell phones. They said it was for his body’s recovery and that he should rest
more. But he knew the truth. They were afraid that he would not be able to
accept the news on the Internet.
Since he was a teenager, he had been in touch with the Adams family’s business,
big and small. Power was something readily available to him. Later, he slowly
became powerful and recognized for his abilities, not needing the help of others.
Now, however, great changes and tragedies suddenly happened to him, causing
him to fall from the sky to the bottom. Therefore, he felt frustrated.
What’s more, over the past month or so, the physical trauma and psychological
torture made his originally strong body suddenly collapse. He got a serious
illness. What’s worse, he never stood up after his legs were severely injured by
Bishop and Ethan’s men that night at Evergreen Temple. It was as if he and
Bishop had suddenly switched lives. Even if he didn’t have a cell phone and
couldn’t see the outside world, he could figure out what had happened just by
guessing. Burton stood aside, opened his mouth, did not know what to say, and
finally softly said, “August, everything will be fine.” Listening to his words, August
did not say anything. He raised his eyes to look at the bright moon in the sky and
inexplicably remembered a woman’s face. Two seconds later, remembering her
ruthlessness and decisiveness, August frowned and tried to expel her from his
mind.
Just then, two figures walked in through the doorway, one after the other. They
crossed the courtyard and walked straight towards August.
Before they got close, Joshua’s laughing voice came over. “So, you two men are
enjoying the moon and chatting in the courtyard? You’re quite leisurely. Or you
are waiting for me as you know I’m coming today?”
At that, August and Burton both glanced at him helplessly. Joshua laughed twice,
approached without embarrassment, and instructed the person following him to
put down the things.
One could smell the food and wine inside before opening the paper bags. Joshua
raised his hand. His men immediately understood and walked to the door of the
courtyard, guarding the door without moving.
Joshua calmly took out the food and wine inside one by one, saying with a smile,
“August, this is the dish you enjoyed most before.
