Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 521 – Bad News
He waved his hand impatiently and was about to ask his subordinates to leave. However, August suddenly stopped him and asked, “Wait a minute. What is that?” The man in the wheelchair seemed to have noticed something and immediately asked about the situation.
Before others could reply, Joshua said first, “It’s nothing, don’t worry.” With that, he waved his hand again to dismiss his men.
Unexpectedly, August interrupted him, “I just saw him mention Lucia. What’s happened?”
August knew how to read lip language. When he saw the man report to Joshua, he knew something bad had happened. Joshua hadn’t expected this. He opened his mouth but couldn’t continue lying to him.
Hesitated for a while, Joshua said, “Earlier today, before Bishop came, Lucia brought a few people to Evergreen Mountain Temple.” Hearing this, August frowned and suddenly remembered he seemed to have heard Lucia’s voice in his courtyard today.
At that time, he even asked Burton if he misheard it. Could it be that she had already been there at that time? But why did she. come to the Temple? How did she find it there? Was she the one who brought Bishop there? Complicated feelings surged in his heart.
He slowly clenched his fists, and couldn’t speak for a while.
Joshua saw his expression and guessed what he thought. He immediately changed the
topic, “I left some people to
continue searching in Evergreen Mountain. Maybe Abbot is hiding to protect himself and
others. Bishop had no animosity against them, so he shouldn’t have killed them all.”
August was silent for a moment. Finally, he nodded and said lightly, “Let’s eat.”
At this point, no news was the best news. He didn’t want to put more pressure on
everyone because of him. All he could do was wait quietly for news. However, he didn’t
expect bad news to come so soon. Early the next morning, when the first brim shinned in
the sky, August woke up. He sat in a wheelchair and looked at the balcony, and was still
feeling uneasy.
Since returning from Evergreen Mountain to the Austos yesterday, there were too many
things hanging over his mind. Everyone thought he had died, so in what kind of
status would he return to the public? And what should he do about the Lion
group? All kinds of questions circled in his mind, and he couldn’t find answers for
a while. At that moment, the door was suddenly.
pushed open. Joshua walked in and looked around. Finally, when he saw August
on the balcony, a hint of hesitation flashed. across his face. August turned to look
at him and asked, “What happened?”
Joshua was silent for a moment before walking forward. Standing beside him and
looking at the distant scenery, he said
softly, “Yes.”
August’s heart tightened, and she moved slightly. He did not say anything, just
waiting for his answer. After a moment of
silence, Joshua said, “We’ve found the abbot’s corpse. He was stabbed to death,
and we found his body a kilometer away from the Temple. Jeff and the other
monks have disappeared.”
These words were like a heavy blow, making August’s heart sink. He suddenly
clenched the armrest of the wheelchair, and
the veins on his forearm bulged. He was struggling to hold back his feelings, but
his body was trembling uncontrollably. For more than a month, if it weren’t for
Abbot’s shelter and caring, he wouldn’t have lived to this day. To some extent, the
entire Temple saved him.
But before he could repay them, he had brought calamity to them instead. Abbot
had lost his life while the others had gone missing, so how could he forgive
himself? A deep sense of anger and shame surged in his heart, but at this
moment, he couldn’t do anything about it because of his crippled legs and his
current situation!
Seeing August’s expression, Joshua hurriedly pressed his shoulder and
comforted, “August, I’m sorry.”
In the past month or so, in order not to be discovered by others, Joshua had just
visited him a few times at night. Even so, he could still feel the kindness of the
people in the Temple. After learning of this news, he felt very depressed, let alone
August, who had been with them day and night. Joshua knew that August had to
be feeling terrible. The man in the wheelchair.
seemed to be holding back his emotions, but his shoulders were still trembling
slightly. After a while, August slowly calmed down. When he looked up, his eyes
were bloodshot.
Complicated anger and extreme coldness brewed in the man’s eyes. He turned
his head and looked straight at Joshua. Word by word, he said, “Joshua, do me
another favor.”
He wanted to figure out if the chaos he experienced yesterday and the
nightmares he encountered in the temple were related to that woman.
Since returning from Evergreen Mountain yesterday, Lucia had not left the house.
She was tired, a whole day’s trek up made
her feel sore all over. Secretly, she was wondering if her decision was right or
not. After all, after yesterday, she and the other eight or nine men had searched
for a whole day and had not found any useful clues.
Lucia began to consider whether the men who were unwilling to go up the mountain before had already expected this
result. Was there anything wrong with her deduction?
Originally, she, Kylan, and Zane agreed to look for them for three days, but now it
seemed that what they did was useless, so she simply gave them a break and let
them have a good rest.
In the morning, after breakfast, Lucia was bored and walked around the
bedroom. Suddenly, she saw the small piece of paper on the table and thought
something about yesterday. This was the phone number of the abbot. After
returning yesterday, she didn’t have time to call back. After hesitating for a
moment, Lucia stepped forward, picked up the small piece of paper, looked at it,
and finally dialed the number with hope.
As soon as she dialed, a mechanical female voice came from the other side. “I’m sorry,
the phone you’re calling is powered
off.”
His phone was turned off?
Lucia was a little surprised, but then she thought maybe the abbot rarely contacted the
outside world, so it was normal for his phone to be powered off. With this thought, she put
the note aside and turned to do other things. In the blink of an eye, it has been afternoon.
She was just about to go out and buy something when
She received a call from Paul. She paused for a moment before pressing the answer
button, but finally picked the phone up, “Hello? Paul.”
Did Paul arrive in Austos?
The next second, Paul’s gentle voice came from the other end of the line, “Lucia, I’m in
Austos. I have something to do and haven’t had time to go to West Bridge Garden yet.
How are you and the kids? Are you all right?”
Lucia didn’t know what to feel about his words. Immediately after, she whispered, “We are
all fine. Don’t worry. Where are you now?”
“I’m near the company. Are you free tonight? Shall we have dinner?”
Placing her phone between her shoulder and ear, Lucia casually packed up her bag and
said, “I was just about to head out and buy clothes for my parents.”
The man chuckled and said, “That’s great. I’ll go with you.”
Lucia agreed, “Sure, see you later.”
Now that Paul had returned, it meant that Paula’s condition had improved. She would ask
about the situation in detail after meeting him.
