Legend Of Dragon Lord novel Chapter 43

There were lots of shops for paper, fengshui and coffin in an ancient street. The incense can be smelt far away.

There was a small Taoist temple in the end of the street.

Frank stood at the door of the Taoist temple, and saw the plaque with characters of QY Temple. He missed that.

He had lived here for three months since he was kicked out of the Ye Family 8 years ago.

He spent the happiest time in those three months. He thought he would spend his rest life in the Taoist temple and that it would be good to become a Taoist priest.

However, Powell Family came to him. Under great pressure, he had to leave Taoist temple and went aboard. As he got off the plane, he was picked up by Siberian Training Camp and then began his dark days.

He would have died if it were not for the Anonymous Fist.

Actually, as said by the coach of Siberian Training Camp, their mission was to make him die during the training in a reasonable way.

Frank knew Powell Family was behind the scene even without investigation.

As Frank was thinking about the past, a young Taoist priest came out. He was stunned when he saw Frank, and then asked, “Frank?”

Frank smelled, "Ronnie, you are thin now."

"Fuck, is it really you?" Ronnie Rees was excited and looked up and down on Frank, “Did you come back from abroad to make a fortune? When you left, I cried for a long time. What about a porsche? You ran away without telling me."

"Did I run away by myself? I almost died."

Seeing childhood playmates, Frank found the innocence. The smile on his face was sincere.

"I know." Ronnie responded with a smile, and then gave Frank a hug, "Welcome home."

That's right, going home.

He and Ronnie, in fact, were adopted children of the Chief. For them, the Taoist temple was their home.

"Thank you." Frank hugged Ronnie, patted his back and laughed, “I haven't been home for a long time, don't you show me around?"

"Can it be a visit? The family has changed a lot over the years."

Ronnie put his arms around the neck of Frank. Frank was stunned and then resumed smiling. The two people walked into the Taoist temple.

If Gary saw this, he would certainly be surprised. No one dared to put his arms around Frank neck. And the last one to do so was dead.

The Taoist temple was not very big. It had three rooms in the courtyard and seven or eight rooms in front of it. In the hall, there was a statue of Lao Tzu. Frank came forward respectfully and lit three sticks of incense.

"The same as before." Frank looked around with Ronnie. He still remembered he used ink to wipe the air of the statue, leaving a mark.

The gentle Chief beat him hardly for this.

"By the way, where is Chief? Sofia and Emily are not here." Frank asked curiously. In his memory, the Chief never walked out of the Taoist temple if there was no necessity. Sofia and Emily were twins, who were four when Frank left. At that time, they called Frank brother.

Since eight years passed, they must be big girls now. He wondered they would remember him.

The face of Ronnie instantly became gloomy, he said in a low voice, “After 3 years you left, Chief died."

Boom.

The news was like a bomb exploded in the mind of Frank. His eyes instantly became red.

"Chief died peacefully. Many brothers and sisters came back to have a funeral for him. Now I have the Taoist temple.

“Chief died peacefully.” Frank paused.

When he died, Chief already was 97 years old. And there were a lot wound from the battlefield. It was uneasy for him to live to 100 years old.

What was more, every time the weather changed, Chief suffered a lot from his wound. And death might be relief for him.

"After Chief died, I couldn't do afford it, so I didn't leave keep any other children. Only Emily and Sofia followed me and they are in school now."

Ronnie’s face was gloomy, "It is my bad. I cannot afford to raise them and send them to the orphanage."

Ye was stunned and then reached out to pat Ronnie’s shoulder.

Living in Beijing was not easy.

Chief was a native of Pecking with many close friends. Besides, when Chief was alive, people would come to visit him from time to time to fulfill their wishes. At that time, Taoist temple had a good life and was able to adopt children.

Ronnie was not Chief. After Chief died, the income of Taoist temple broke down. Ronnie cannot raise other children since he just turned eighteen. And it was not easy for him to raised two kids.

"Frank, the children sent to us for some reasons, but I can only watch them leave..." Ronnie’s eyes were full of tears.

Frank was silent.

He had a similar feeling. He wanted to save someone, but you had no ability, but only can watch him go to hell. The feeling of powerlessness made him despise himself, which would deeply branded in his mind and never be forgotten forever.

"Just try your best. Life is full of people struggling everywhere. No one is immortal. You cannot save everyone" Frank said.

Ronnie wiped his tears and gave a smile, “I let you see my joke. I just felt upset about that. I don’t have the ability of Chief. I am satisfied to watch Emily and Sofia growing up."

Frank shrugged his shoulders and then said, "I cannot give you the sports car, but I can give you the money for it."

"Really?" Ronnie was surprised.

"It can’t be false." Frank smiled faintly. "I have been doing a lot of business these years. Anyway, money in the bank is rusting. It is better to give it to you.”

Ronnie had been asking what he did in these years, Frank had no choice but to pick some business stories to tell him. But Ronnie did not know what the business was.
