The Rise of Dragon Temple novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27

After Joseph’s phone call to Alpha 1, the two most powerful forces in Oplen started to make their moves. Dennis summoned Ernie over and ordered all employees of Gempoint Group to stop work as soon as possible. All the executives rushed to the conference room for an emergency meeting. As the leader of underground forces in Oplen, Ernie took charge of more than half of the city’s entertainment industries. His company, Mysticorps Group, ranked second only to Gempoint Group in the entire region. The company owned theme parks, shopping malls, cinemas, nightclubs, and so on. Similarly, Mysticorps Group staff have also stopped all their existing operations. All members of the senior management team were ordered to rush to Gempoint Group’s headquarters. When the hundreds of executives from both Gempoint Group and Mysticorps Group were all packed in a large conference room, everyone was shocked. These business elites were clueless as to what had happened. All they knew was that their respective bosses, who were not on good terms in the past, jointly held an emergency meeting all of a sudden. Soon, something even more shocking happened. At the entrance of the conference room, Dennis and Ernie were respectfully following behind a young man. When Alpha 1 appeared, all the executives in the room were shocked once again. An unimaginable thought suddenly emerged on their minds. Did Oplen’s two largest companies merge into one? Who was this person in front of Dennis and Ernie? Alpha 1 sat directly on the main seat of the conference room. Even so, Dennis and Ernie did not seem dissatisfied. Instead, they sat on both sides of Alpha l with great excitement. Suddenly, the conference room, filled with hundreds of people, instantly fell silent. After everyone was seated, Alpha 1 said to Dennis and Ernie, “It doesn’t matter whether you can satisfy me or not. The two of you should know better. I’ll repeat myself once more. On the 15th of next month, we’ll hold a grand wedding in Oplen with a budget of one billion. We’ll spend it all! All the cities within Central Region are eligible to take part, and we will select a thousand new couples. However, these couples must all pass a certain level of requirements. We can’t simply let anyone in. We’ll cover all their weddings expenses, which includes the food and beverages as well. You guys can discuss this within the next hour. The news of this event must spread throughout Oplen, and even the whole Central Region. Make sure this goes viral! Okay, I’ve done my part here. The rest is up to you…” As soon as Alpha 1 finished speaking, he sat calmly and did not care about anything

else. Although he remained silent, he exuded an imposing aura like that of a big boss. In fact, his aura completely overwhelmed Dennis and Ernie. Alpha I was a strong warrior, so he would only yield to one person-Joseph. Outside of Dragon Temple, Alpha I could rule over anyone else… After hearing Alpha l’s instructions, Dennis and Ernie nodded respectfully. Immediately, all the hundreds of executives were stunned by Alpha l’s words. At this time, a bold executive from Gempoint Group suddenly stood up and asked Alpha 1, “May… May I ask a question, sir? I’m actually getting ready to be married next month. Can… Can I participate in the wedding?” Although this executive knew that Alpha 1 definitely came from a strong background, he wanted to hold a grand wedding for his beloved fiancée. “How dare you! What gives you the right to speak now? Get out of here!” Furious, Dennis got up quickly and shouted, which scared the good-looking executive to death.

“Mr. Drake… Sir, I’m sorry, I… I’ll get out now…” The executive was startled by Dennis’ cold gaze, so much so that he wanted to leave immediately. “Wait a minute.” At this moment, Alpha 1 uttered. Terrified, Dennis quickly replied, “I’m sorry, sir. My subordinates are ignorant. Don’t be angry…” Dennis begged Alpha 1 so humbly that the executive was almost scared silly. However, Alpha I waved his hand. “Haha, it’s okay. This person is good-looking, so it’s fine. Nobody said that our own employees are not allowed to participate in this event, right? If there are benefits, of course, you should give priority to your staff. Mr. Drake, don’t be stingy… Let this man participate, and offer him more resources when the time comes…” Letting out a sigh of relief, Dennis quickly turned to the executive and said, “You should thank Mr. Alpha 1.” Alpha 1 waved his hand and nodded with a smile. Then, the atmosphere in the meeting room became extremely enthusiastic. More than 50 executives of the two

companies intended to get married this year. Soon, all plans were listed out. An hour later, official websites of both Gempoint Group and Mysticorps Group stated, “On the 15th of next month, a mysterious president will hold a grand wedding in the Oplen Cathedral, worth one billion! At the same time, up to 1314 couples are invited to participate in the ceremony. Each couple will be sponsored one million, including the wedding accessories, gowns, and so on. These items may also be sponsored by Gempoint Group or Mysticorps Group. The one-billion budget will be entirely used up.” Upon discussion, Dennis and Ernie had extended from 1000 couples to 1314, while they would cover the additional costs. They chose 1314 couples as the number traditionally represented long-lasting love.

Ten minutes after the two announcements were released on the websites, all the billboards in Oplen were also broadcasting the same message. Many well informed individuals have caught wind about the event… Boom… All Oplen residents were completely shocked by this mysterious president’s actions. It was one billion, after all, not to mention that over a thousand other weddings would be fully sponsored up to one million each. People in Shelia could not imagine how grand it would be when the mysterious president got married. One billion was offered to support more than 1000 new couples, which excluded miscellaneous costs incurred on the wedding day itself. This wedding could easily cost more than one billion… A few minutes later, citizens from more than 100 cities in the whole Central Region were also completely dazzled by the news. Indeed, it was a huge project… Later, all the about-to-wed couples in the Central Region, including Oplen, began to sign up with great enthusiasm. They wished to be sponsored one million and hold a grand wedding along with the mysterious president. Which unmarried woman could resist such a temptation? Therefore, the event instantly became a sensation…

At the same time, members of the Mooney family, who were still talking in the hotel room, saw this piece of news. Lily immediately screamed, “My lord, isn’t this a tad too much? A wedding worth billions?” Then, Lily turned her gaze to Paige. “Haha, Paige. Didn’t your so-called husband say that he would hold a grand wedding for you earlier? Perhaps it’s the same as this one that’s worth billions. How wealth of Joseph, haha…” Paige’s body trembled. She was no fool, so she naturally knew that Lily was mocking her. Earlier, Joseph was talking big in front of her family, yet a mysterious
