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. The 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 looked 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.
