The Rise of Dragon Temple novel Chapter 16

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.
