Chapter 117: Amadeus Adler
THE TIP of the knife buried into August’s skin as he tried to dodge to the side. He groaned in pain, but at the same time, his movements became faster and he was able to stay away from his attacker before the knife would bury more in his body.“Fuck!” August cussed loudly. His breathing became ragged when he looked at the blood dripping from his wound. “Who are you?”“My apologies, Fordman.” The man smirked before he played with the knife in his hand. “This is just a part of my job that I needed to execute.”In one swift, the man who had a crazy, wicked smirk on his lips attacked August again. Unlike Gabriel, his opponent now was skilled in combat and using knives. August could only dodge, but at the same time, his vision
Chapter 118: His Answer
“DID I hear it right?” Francis asked again after his silence for two minutes. He tried to calm his rapid heartbeat first before speaking. “Did you say, Amadeus Adler?”“Yes, young master,” Mill, the man’s name, replied.Francis clicked his tongue as he hit the steering wheel repeatedly with all his might. The horns echoed loudly inside the car. The other drivers within their distance got annoyed because of that, but he didn’t care at all.“You idiot! What made you think that it wasn't important information?!” Francis exclaimed. He almost wanted to smack the person he was talking to. “Since when? Did you get any information from the higher-ups about why they were roommates?”“Since the first day
Chapter 119: There's No Way But Up
“AUGUSTUS Fordman doesn’t have any connections to the Remington Corporation anymore,” Charles declared casually. “I hope it’s clear already. I don’t want any of the reporters to ask anything about it.”His eyes told everyone how much he wanted to avoid the controversy. Since the day the police were finding August to arrest him, the media never stopped talking about them.The Remington Corporation’s management had a hard time fixing the situation, especially when the stock prices plummeted, and when some of the investors wanted to withdraw their investments, afraid that August’s issue would affect the company as well.Charles looked exhausted and weak. The rest he had when August was handling the corporation went back to him, threefold. Now, he couldn’t even
Chapter 120: Sneak Out

Chapter 121: The Real Deal About Blackbell Prison
“WHAT are you talking about?”August raised a brow before he sat on the bed. He wiped his eyes using his fingers, removing the morning glory from them.However, he stopped moving when Rio placed his index finger on his lips, giving August a warning to tone down his voice.“You’re in danger,” said Rio, shaking his head. He didn’t even bother answering August’s question. “I’ll go now. Go back to sleep.”Rio went outside the cell without even looking back at him. The police officer closed the cell door without noise as both of them walked away. They were like spies who moved carefully to avoid getting caught.August was confused as hell. The tip of his brows pressed onto each other as he scratched his head. However, he just lay again on the bed and went back to sleep.When he woke up, the sun had already risen. Everyone was preparing themselves for another day. Sergio was in front of the mirror, looking at his reflection as he made his weird poses, while Amadeus tied up his shoelaces.“N
Chapter 122: I'd Rather Be Dead
AS AUGUST and his roommates started cleaning the bathroom on the second floor after eating lunch, the entire city was busy because of a seminar being televised on different channels.It was an ordinary seminar— speakers would tell the audience about their experiences and such.

It was also the reason why the organizers for the employee seminar invited Bruce as a guest speaker.“I look damn fine.” Bruce cackled as he complimented himself.He was sitting in
Chapter 123: Everything Goes According To The Plan
“HEY,” a deep, dark voice greeted Samantha. She turned around to see who it was, only to see that it was Francis Wellington, who looked stunning in his gray and black suit. Samantha wasn’t able to speak for a second as she was mesmerized by the person in front of her.On the other hand, Daphne crossed her arms and rolled her eyes. She thought that Francis was trying to gain everyone’s attention, including her. Francis noticed what Daphne did, and he couldn’t help but feel amused.As he expected Daphne’s reaction to be the same as Samantha, it didn’t happen. He just shook his head before turning his head to Samantha again.“The event is about to start. Would you mind sitting down?” asked Francis, showing his pretentious smile.“N-No,” Samantha answered. She even stammered as she shook her head. “Not at all.”Samantha went back on her seat before she glanced at Daphne, who still looked unbothered even though Francis was in front of them.‘This bitch… You’re just lucky today!’ said Sama

Pass it here!” Sergio shouted to Hector, one of their teammates as they played basketball.Hector was dribbling the ball as he roamed his gaze around the area. With a 109-111 score, the match was too intense for both groups. Hector can hear how Sergio repeatedly cursed him as Sergio wanted to take the ball so he could shoot it, but Hector knew better.Sergio’s main strength isn’t shooting— but defense. And he couldn’t take the risk.Whoever wins this last match in basketball will have a prize— they will not work for tomorrow at any task.
