The Rise of Dragon Temple By Wu Xia

Chapter 16

“Indeed, he should be my successor. I will visit Apren City and talk to him personally. After all, he is the

leader of Dragon Temple, so it would be inappropriate for Terrance to meet him directly.” Sebastian

seemed excited. At this moment, Terrance’s cell phone rang. “Everyone, there is news from the Police

Department in Apren City. Max Kennedy has ordered them not to intervene in this matter. The Kennedy

family plans to attack Joseph tonight…” It seemed that the Kennedy family was seeking death. Joseph

initially gave them three days to prepare themselves, yet why were they rushing to retaliate? Even the

top leaders in Frogua were extremely fearful of Dragon Temple’s strength. How would the Kennedy

family be able to defeat them? The Kennedy family was truly a bunch of ignorant idiots. Otherwise, they

would not have caused such huge trouble in the first place. Sebastian could not help but sneer,

“Kennedy family from Apren City? Did they think that they were rulers of the territory? If they dare hurt

my kin, I will teach them a lesson tonight.” “How can you be so thick-skinned, Sebastian? Joseph is an

heir to the Dawson family. Since when has he become your kin?” Ryan retorted. Sebastian replied

indifferently, “Charles and I are like brothers, so I naturally treat his grandson as my kin.” “Should we

inform Charles about this matter?” “Not for the time being.” Matt added, “Joseph has suffered too much

in the past few years. This time, he will definitely come to the Dawson family to seek justice.” Hanson

agreed with Matt. Taking off the black ring with a dragon carving, Ryan handed it to Sebastian. “Give this

to that little girl. By the way, help me pass a message to Joseph. Tell him if he comes to Frogua, he

should visit my place.” Sebastian looked at Matt with some surprise. “Have you thought this through?

You’ve worn this ring for almost all your life, haven’t you? Do you really want to give it away?” A flash of

regret flashed across Matt’s eyes. Then, he finally smiled and responded, “In the end, it’s just a ring.

Joseph has done so much for our country. This is what we owe him…” Although Matt sounded rather

casual, Sebastian took the matter very seriously. In fact, everyone present in the room knew very well

that this ring was extraordinary. There was a hidden story behind this ring. After taking a deep breath,

Sebastian said, “I will be heading toward Apren City now. Don’t worry, I will never disappoint the young

heroes who have contributed so much to Frogua’s peace and success.” At the time, no one knew that

Sebastian planned to murder the wealthiest man in Apren City The rain kept falling, which affected many

surrounding areas. In Oplen City. In a hotel located in the city center, Alpha 1 left after making

arrangements for Paige and Chloe. After waking up at noon, Chloe silently ran to the door and squatted.

Her eyes were full of expectation. Every time someone passed by, she would stare at them.

If it weren’t for Joseph, she would seem even more depressed. Paige could not convince her to stop

squatting at the door because she knew who her daughter was waiting for. Deep down, Paige knew that

the possibility of Joseph returning was rather low. After all, whether it was the three hundred men from

the night before or the Kennedy family, it was unlikely that Joseph would be able to handle the situation.

The heavier the rain, the colder the surrounding air became. “Chloe, didn’t Toby tell you already? Even if

your father were to return, it would take him at least two days.” Paige continued, “Be good and come

back inside. If you catch a cold, your father will feel distressed by the time he comes home.” “Mom, what

if Dad comes back early?” Chloe shook her head stubbornly. “I am waiting for him here. As soon as he

comes back, he will see me right away.”. Chloe’s eyes sparkled. She truly believed that her father would

return that day. Paige’s eyes suddenly welled up, and she tried hard not to let her tears fall. “Chloe, you

have to believe in me and Toby.” “Mom, Dad will surely return today.” Raising her head, Chloe said in a

serious tone, “I have good instincts. Last night, the moment I sensed that Dad would return, he appeared

right in front of me. He even helped get rid of the bad guys… He will definitely come back.” Looking at

her daughter, Paige could not convince her at all.

“I believe in you…” Inexplicably, Paige felt more and more uncomfortable deep down. It was remarkable

how a five-year-old child could be so sensible. In the past, Chloe had learned to hide her love for her

father. However, she was no longer concealing her emotions at this time. It was because she desperately

longed for Joseph to stay here. “Joseph, you must come back alive.” Gnashing her teeth, Paige endured

her sorrow and prayed again and again in her heart. Paige figured that she could no longer sit still and

wait for news. Thinking of this, Paige sent a message to Bethany. “Beth, you must help me. I can’t raise

Chloe without her father…” At Parry family’s villa located in Apren City. Bethany, who wore a long white

dress, noticed the message sent by Paige. At eight o’clock in the morning, Logan had returned to Apren

City. Thus, Beth immediately told him about what happened. She hoped that he could help Joseph.

However, Logan did not immediately make a decision. Instead, he asked Bethany to leave the room for

the time being. Although Logan and Brandon were on bad terms, he had other worries as well. After all,

this matter had blown up too much. Thinking of what Chloe had been through, Bethany replied to Paige’s

message . despite the uncertainty. “Don’t worry. I will definitely ask for my father’s help.” Taking a deep

breath, Bethany planned to convince her father once again. Logan was the second richest man in Apren

City. He had strong support from the Parry family. At the time, Logan was the only person who could

compete equally against Brandon in Apren City. Of course, in terms of overall strength, the Parry family

was slightly weaker. However, in the eyes of the citizens of Apren City, the difference between the two

was almost negligible. In the past few years, Logan rapidly expanded his family business to catch up to

the Kennedy family’s riches. In fact, their operations was already expanded beyond Apren City. In the

study room.” Logan was deep in thought. His beloved daughter wanting him to intervene in this matter

was equivalent to opposing the Kennedy family. At the moment, he was rather hesitant to do so. He was

a smart man. In fact, he knew that regardless of whether he intervened in this matter or not, there would

be friction between him and Brandon sooner or later. Since the two could not co-exist in one place,

Brandon and Logan would definitely face conflict sometime in the future anyway. This event would only

bring forward this inevitable battle. Nonetheless, Logan had his own concerns. This was a perfect

opportunity to verify Kennedy family’s background and true strengths. In fact, Bethany did not know that

Logan had already made his decision before returning home. Initially, Logan planned to peacefully

discuss with Brandon. However, he did not expect that Joseph, who appeared all of a sudden, would

take action against Jaylah. Jaylah was Brandon’s only son and the future heir of the Kennedy family.

Logan knew better than anyone that Jaylah was a complete fool. If Jaylah were to inherit the Kennedy

family’s assets and legacy, Logan would be delighted However, because of Jaylah’s involvement in this

matter, it became extremely tricky to handle. Logan received news about the Kennedy family’s plans.

That night, the Kennedy family no longer had scruples and intended to go all out. From Logan’s point of

view, he could not compete with the Kennedy family on this matter. If he were to intervene, he would

have to stake his own family’s future. This was not worthwhile, nor was it rational. Although he loved his

daughter, it was obviously not worth taking such huge risks for the husband of his daughter’s best friend.
