Chapter 508 Findings In Evergreen Temple
Lucia froze, obviously not expecting him to react like this.
Joshua smiled, casually dropped the remaining half of his cigarette on the ground and crushed it with his toe, then said unhurriedly, "You may not know that he and I are no longer good friends.” As he spoke, he raised his eyes towards her. There was a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold. Lucia frowned in shock. She didn't know much about what happened between Joshua and August. But before she could tell that the two of them had an extraordinary relationship. Joshua was thought to be August's only good friend. She did not quite believe that the two people broke up. Seeing Lucia hesitate a little, Joshua raised his eyebrows and said unconcernedly. "Do you want to know why?"
Lucia paused for a moment and nodded, asking, "Didn't you guys have a good relationship before?" Without hesitation, Joshua replied in a cold voice, "It was in the past, but not now.”
Saying that, he was a little impatient. His smile slowly disappeared, leaving his face only cold and expressionless. He continued, "Actually, there is a reason why August and I broke up.” He deliberately said so and looked at Lucia meaningfully.
Lucia took a deep breath and asked, "What's the reason?"
Joshua looked at her and said in a cold voice, "Because of you."
Lucia froze, not expecting him to say that. At that moment, the man in front of her suddenly stepped forward and approached her, staring at her in a condescending manner, his eyes full of hostility.
"He did the wrong thing again and again because of you, without even considering his status, interests and situation. I advised him countless times, but he never listened to me. So, tell me, how could I still be his friend?"
The man's sudden words surprised Lucia, and she subconsciously took two steps back. Immediately afterwards, she saw Joshua laugh indifferently.
"Good friends? What a joke! Probably in his eyes a good friend is not as important as an insignificant woman." Joshua said this sarcastically, smiled mockingly, lifted his feet and walked straight towards the bar door. He opened the door and went in, leaving Lucia standing alone. Lucia had mixed feelings. Those words of Joshua just now were swirling in her mind, and she could sense a different meaning. At the same time, she was a little shocked. Did August really care about her so much as Joshua had said?
Thinking about it, she stood in place for a long time. Eventually, she had no clue, then left as if she had never been to this place. But she quietly made up her mind that she must find August as soon as possible! She must do this!
In the next few days, Lucia took Zane and others made efforts to look for clues. But Austos City was so big. They searched. aimlessly. The only clues available were few and they couldn't get more new clues. Lucia felt a great headache and was unable to come up with any more ideas.
When Zane saw her in such a terrible state, he couldn't help but persuade her, "Lucia, don't worry. Let's look for him again. We will definitely find something."
Lucia had heard a lot of such comforting words in recent days. She took a deep breath, tiredly pressed her temples, and said somewhat depressingly, "What if we really can't find him?"
Together with the people Olivia gave her, Zane and August's other men, she now had a dozen people under her. They had been running around outside every day for the past few days looking for August, but there was no breakthrough.
Zane was standing beside her, silent and did not answer.
In a city, it was very easy if someone wanted to hide oneself. As long as they found a place and didn't come out to show up, they would never be found for life. But according to August's character, he was never the kind of cowardly person who would hide himself quietly. The reason why he didn't show up was that he was in a dilemma, or it wasn't the right time for him to show up.
Lucia and Zane didn't speak for a long time, and there was silence when an abrupt sound of a cell phone came.
Zane immediately picked up the phone and answered, "Hello, Kylan, what's up?" He turned on the speakerphone and the voice of Kylan came out of the phone.
There was a bit of excitement in Kylan's voice. "Zane, do you remember Evergreen Temple? I sent someone to look for clues again in the past two days, and I didn't expect to find something surprising!”
Zane immediately nodded his head, asking, "What's that?"
Hearing that, Lucia also immediately perked up and listened carefully.
"We found people living in Evergreen Temple, it seems to be Ethan's men!"
When Zane heard this, his eyes instantly lit up. "Are you sure?"
"Two of my men saw familiar faces and basically concluded that they were Ethan's men.”
"So, what happened to Mr. Adams is also related to Ethan?"
Kylan's voice came in, "It's pretty much confirmed. The information we have now is that there are about six of them and Ethan is probably not there.”
Zane got a little excited and asked, "So what do we do now? Just go ahead and seize them?"
Kylan on the other end hesitated for a moment, then said, “Let's listen to Lucia’s idea.”
Hearing that, Zane immediately turned his head towards Lucia. Lucia was stunned because she didn't understand much of what they were saying just now. She had a vague impression of Ethan, the man who had kidnapped her before.
Zane noticed that Lucia had doubts. He thought about it and said to Kylan, "Kylan, I'll talk to Lucia about the details, and I'll call you back after she makes a decision.”
Kylan didn't say anything, agreed, and hung up the phone.
Lucia took a deep breath and asked, "Ethan, who is Ethan, and what does he have to do with August?"
Zane said briefly, "Ethan is a criminal wanted by the police. Mr. Adams and he had some conflicts before. He has been looking for an opportunity to revenge Mr. Adams.” When Lucia heard this, her body stiffened and her palms suddenly became much colder.
She could never imagine that August would be involved with criminals. She used to think that he
was a powerful man above all others, that he could use money and power to settle anything, and
that he could easily solve difficulties that were difficult for ordinary people. But she never thought
that he would have to go through so much suffering.
She suddenly remembered the period after her marriage to August. At that time, she occasionally saw the new horrific scars on his body, and his back was covered with old scars and new ones. He always hid these with casual excuses. She never thought that he was successful on the surface, but long-suffering behind the scenes.
Suddenly, she felt distressed and her heart went out to August. Lucia came back to her senses and asked, "So does Ethan have anything to do with this?"
Zane thought for a moment. He nodded with certainty, saying, "I think he does. Ethan is not simple but rather ruthless and sinister, and before...” He said, suddenly stopped, and looked over towards her, hesitating.
Seeing so, Lucia frowned slightly and said, "Get to the point.”
At such a time today, if they continued to hide from each other, how could they go together to find August's whereabouts?
