Submit To The Boss Lucia And August Novel Chapter 716 – Living in Pain Forever
When August looked sideways at them, the murderous look in his eyes decreased a little, and he involuntarily slowed down his actions. One of the thugs took the chance and suddenly kicked the crook of his leg. His body shook slightly, but he tightened his grip on Ethan’s neck.
Hearing Ethan grunt in pain, the people around them didn’t dare to act rashly anymore but immediately put on defensive postures and stared at him. Everyone seemed to have been paused, and the living room fell into an eerie silence again.
Mark said in a threatening voice again, “If you want her to survive, let Ethan go.” When August looked at Lucia, a hesitant expression appeared on his usually cold handsome face. Lucia looked at him with distress in her eyes and felt a sting in her heart.
She hurriedly shook her head and said, “August, don’t believe him! He won’t let us go!” “Shut up!” Mark growled, pressed the sharp knife in his hand against her slender neck, and said, “Release him right away. Otherwise, I will kill this b*tch.”
“August, don’t release him!” Lucia said in a begging voice and slowly shook her head, letting the cold and sharp knife touch her neck again and again.
As Mark pressed the knife harder, the sharp blade reflected a dazzling cold light under the light and slowly cut Lucia’s neck.
Soon, red blood flowed down her collarbone into her clothes, making a striking contrast to her fair skin. And then, her chest was dyed red. The coldness in August’s eyes grew stronger, but he subconsciously released his grip. After a long time, he finally said in a cold voice, “Deal. Let her go.”
Hearing this, Mark put away the knife. And then, he and August pushed the hostage in
their hands toward the other at
the same time.
Lucia was covered in injuries, so she could not exert any strength. After being
pushed forward, she couldn’t help
staggering and falling to the ground. August immediately stretched out his hand
to her. But before he could hold her
into his arms, Ethan kicked her powerless body far away and quickly handcuffed
August.
“If you want her to live, you must die,” Ethan slowly said in a sinister voice with a
ferocious smile.
After he handcuffed August on the chair next to him, he motioned for his
subordinates to restrain him. Lucia tried her
best to stand up and then walked toward him with difficulty. Unexpectedly, after
she walked a few steps, she suddenly
felt weak in her legs and fell beside the chair. Then, they held their hands tightly
together.
This scene hurt Mark’s eyes, so he immediately raised his eyebrows to signal the
guard to hit her.
After the guard took the order, he stepped forward and began to punch her. Even
her bloodless face was hit. So, after a
few blows, one of her cheeks was swollen. But no matter how hard he hit her,
Lucia still held August’s hand tightly.
She slowly raised her eyes, wiped the blood from the corners of her lips, looked
at Mark, and said weakly, “You want to
kill me to avenge Jeanne’s death, right? Kill me! Let him go.”
Mark couldn’t help snorting with deep hatred in his eyes, “If it weren’t for you, she
would not have died in that kind of
place! I will never let you go!”
“What about him?” She held August’s hand tightly and asked softly, “He was
Jeanne’s beloved man. If you hurt him, she
will not forgive you!”
A look of hesitation flashed across Mark’s face when he heard her words. But in a
blink of an eye, the hesitation was
replaced by hatred again when he said, “She loved him so much, so I will kill him
and let him accompany her.”
Then, he loaded the gun in his hand and pointed it between August’s eyebrows.
Lucia held to the armrests of the chair to get up, stood in front of August, gasped
weakly, and said, “Over my dead
body…”
When Ethan squinted at them, he couldn’t help clicking his tongue and mocking,
“What a touching love story./t almost
can’t bear to separate you.”
As he spoke, he pressed Mark’s hand in the air down and said with insidiousness
and calculations in his eyes, “If we let
Lucia kill August in person, the ending will be more interesting, right?”
Mark gave him a cold look and showed a meaningful smile on his lips. He wished
that he could make Lucia live in hell. If
she killed August in person, the scene would be very “pleasing to the eye”.
So, he asked in a deep voice, “Ethan, have you come up with any good idea?”
Ethan leaned over and whispered a few words into his ear. After the two
exchanged glances, Ethan looked at Lucia and
said, “I will give August a chance to survive. And it depends on your decision.”
Looking at the coldness in their eyes, Lucia had a bad feeling, but she still
nodded heavily.
Soon, one of their subordinates came out of the utility room and hung an iron
plate the size of half a palm in front of
August.
Ethan then said in a gloomy voice, “Guess whether the bullet will hit the iron plate
or August’s face.”
“No!” Lucia immediately refused in a crying voice without even thinking about it.
She had never touched a gun before, so she couldn’t accept it. She could not gamble with
August’s life!
Ethan raised his eyebrows proudly at her and said, “If so, you two can only go to hell
together.”
August tightly held her little blood-stained hand, looked at her firmly, and said, “Do as they
say.”
August knew her marksmanship better than anyone else. He knew he would no chance of
surviving, but only in this way
could he prevent Mark from killing her. As long as Lucia survived today, Flynt would not
watch her die. Exchanging his
life for hers was not a bad deal.
“No! I can’t point it at you! I really can’t do it…” Lucia said in a sobbing voice and kept
shaking her head.
“I have confidence in you,” he said in a calm voice.
The more Mark watched them unable to tear themselves away from each other, the more
annoyed he felt. If Lucia hadn’t.
stepped in halfway, the woman August loved now would be Jeanne.
He stepped forward quickly, dragged Lucia’s weak body far away, stuffed a gun in her
hands, and said, “You will have five
seconds. If you don’t shoot, I will!”
Lucia stared at him with red eyes, slowly got up, leaned against the wall, and raised her
trembling arms to aim at the
plate.
An excited expression gradually appeared on Mark’s ferocious face when he slowly
counted down, “Five…”
“Four…”
Tears gradually blurred Lucia’s eyes. But she had no time to wipe them off, so she could
only open her eyes wide and tried
to distinguish the scene in front of her as much as possible.
“Three…”
“Two…”
Blue veins stood out on August’s handcuffed hands, and he looked at her and said firmly,
“Lucia, shoot!”
Lucia looked at him with teary eyes and lightly rested her fingertip on the trigger.
“One!”
As soon as Mark finished speaking, she had a mental breakdown. She closed her eyes
tightly, screamed piercingly in her
throat, turned her head aside, and pulled the trigger hard.
