The Rise of Dragon Temple novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20

“Who the hell are you?” Brandon was trembling all over and could no longer stand firmly. Joseph then squatted down beside Brandon. “My name is Joseph Dawson, and I’m also the leader of Dragon Temple.” Could Joseph be in charge of this group of military men? Brandon was puzzled. “You’ve bullied my wife and harmed my daughter. What kind of punishment do you expect to receive?” Brandon almost scared to sh*t by his words. “I… I didn’t know… I didn’t know they were your family… Please spare my life.” At this time, the richest man in Apren City was begging for mercy. “I’ve made necessary arrangements to fight a war with Frogua. Do you think I will let you off so easily?” Joseph taunted. At this moment, Logan was completely dumbfounded. When Joseph walked over, Logan dared not look down on him in the slightest, “Allow me to pay my respect to you, Mr. Dawson… I’ve offended you earlier.” It was ridiculous how Logan was trying to help a man with such a powerful background in the first place. In fact, Logan had heard about Dragon Temple, which was responsible for eradicating numerous international organizations. Weren’t the Parry family being silly to offer help to Joseph? Moreover, Logan even thought that Joseph was scared silly to the point where he could not move his legs at all to escape. Joseph replied with a smile, “You’re too courteous. From now on, your family is a friend of ours. You should rest for now. I will take care of the matter.” Logan was delighted as the Parry family would have a positive relationship with Dragon Temple in the future. From that night onward, the Parry family would have nothing to worry about. His family’s future would be bright. Meanwhile, the traitor was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground, continuously kowtowing to Logan and proclaiming that the Kennedy family had forced him to do so. However, it was obvious that Logan would not forgive him so easily. He then instructed his men to break the traitor’s neck. “I’m sorry… I’m so sorry… Please let me go…” At this time, Jaylah kept pleading for

mercy.

Fearing for his own safety, he kept kowtowing to Joseph. Joseph’s eyes were full of killing intent. The moment he saw the pigsty, he imagined the image of Chloe being abused. Walking in front of Jaylah, Joseph did not hesitate at all. With a single strike, Jaylah died on the spot. “If it weren’t because of my daughter, who is currently waiting for me, I would have made you suffer even more before your imminent death.” Joseph snorted and returned to his original position. In front of him, Brandon knelt on the ground. At the sight of his son’s tragic death, Brandon was more frightened than sad. In the past, Brandon was a man with great pride. How could he foresee that he would fall into such a situation? After all, he was the richest man in Apren City. More than a decade ago, he came to Apren City alone and built the family business from nothing. Even the Parry family was overshadowed by him. This showed how powerful he was back then. Moreover, he was about to achieve a breakthrough in his martial art skills. By then, the Kennedy family would also become stronger. After the incident that night, however, his ambition and everything else would be gone. “Brandon, you are a man with great influence in this city after all. You should commit suicide.” When Joseph finished speaking, Alpha 7 threw out a dagger. This dagger was commonly used for one to commit suicide. Seeing this, Brandon could feel his fingers trembling. While grabbing the dagger, he could not bring himself to do it. “Mr. Dawson, we’ve made a mistake. Since you’ve killed Jaylah, please spare my life. In fact, I don’t even need my family business anymore. Is that okay?” Brandon looked eagerly at Joseph. The once-ambitious man refused to die in this manner. If he were to kill himself, he would lose everything. Leaning forward slightly, Joseph placed one hand on the armrest of the chair. He then said with a smile, “Aren’t you angry that I’ve just killed your son?” Brandon immediately kowtowed and replied, “That brute deserved to die. Even if you didn’t murder him, I would have done it myself.”

“Mr. Dawson, please give me a chance to live. In the future, I will serve as your slave to repay you…” Joseph smiled while shaking his head. Blood gushed from Brandon’s forehead. Noticing that Joseph shook his head, Brandon was extremely fearful as he lost all hope. However, at this time, a group of people rushed up from the foot of the mountain. They were all fully armed and headed by someone who resembled Brandon. It was none other than Ethan Kennedy! At the sight of reinforcement, Brandon was overjoyed. “Ethan, save us! Save us!” “You’re from the military, so they wouldn’t have the guts to start a war. Since you saved me, you’ll be the new head of our family.” Joseph looked at Ethan with a smile. Of course, if not because of Joseph’s instructions to allow their entry, Ethan would not be able to infiltrate the area so easily. Just as Ethan was about to speak, Felix, who was standing by the side, suddenly looked over. His gaze was fixed on Ethan. “Ethan, I’m Felix.” He slowly walked out. “You’d better not get involved in this matter. The military should not dwell in matters regarding the Kennedy family.” “Felix, you’re overstepping your boundaries.” Alpha 7 stopped Felix, who was about to continue speaking. “I apologize.” Felix became calm and immediately backed off obediently Joseph waved his hand. He let the military enter this perimeter to see what Ethan would do. At this time, Ethan seemed unfazed. His men were all fully armed. They came with two objectives. One was to save his uncle and family members, and the other was to plead for mercy. Joseph’s eyes fell on Ethan as he said faintly, “What do you want? No matter what, I will definitely kill the members of the Kennedy family.” Hearing this, Ethan became both furious and stressed. Was this a threat? Raising his head in anger, he looked at Joseph. At this moment, his face turned pale and he spat out a mouthful of blood immediately. Ethan was shocked. When he looked up just now, the four Masters of Dragon Temple all fixed their gazes on him. Just a gaze alone had injured Ethan. Nonetheless, despite being under such great pressure, Ethan warned, “Please remember that this is Frogua, not anywhere else.”

He was openly threatening Joseph. “So what?” Joseph casually flicked his finger. “Do you think that I can’t kill a member of the Kennedy family? Or did you assume that I won’t be able to kill

you?”

The moment Joseph uttered such words, everyone’s expressions changed. “I’m from the military, so you probably wouldn’t dare kill me.” Ethan gritted his teeth and added, “After all, this isn’t your turf. How dare you declare war on us? You have to die!” “Haha…” Joseph couldn’t help but laugh out loud. After letting out a laugh, Joseph shifted his gaze. “I think it’s time for you to make your position clear after watching the fun for such a long time. Can Ethan represent you or the military of Frogua?” At this time, Joseph was surrounded by a stream of battle intent. He knew from the very beginning that a powerful figure had snuck into the area, but he did not stop it.

The righteousness of the other party was the reason for Joseph’s judgment. This man was definitely a top ranked official in Frogua’s military force. When Joseph gathered all the warriors of Dragon Temple, he knew that Frogua would not sit by and do nothing. It would be strange if they did not show up at this moment. As soon as Joseph finished speaking, the four Masters of Dragon Temple all locked onto the position. Two figures which were emanating strong auras emerged from the area. One of them had gray hair and wore a green military uniform with nine medals on his chest. This person was the supreme commander of the military headquarters. He was Sebastian Parks, a military commander stronger than the typical war generals. Behind him was Terrance. The instant Sebastian walked out, Joseph recognized him. “Sebastian, you are the supreme commander of Frogua military. Are you here to fight us?” Joseph asked with the highest respect. Following Joseph’s words, everyone present involuntarily gasped. Brandon, Alex, Ethan, Logan, and the others were shocked. They had never expected that such a powerful figure would be here at this time. However, they did not expect that Joseph would have the guts to question him in

public. How daring of him!
