Chapter 77
When Bethany lowered her head and ate without saying a word, Joseph took a deep look at her and didn’t say anything else. He was sure that Logan didn’t have the guts to reveal his identity. That indicated that Bethany had analyzed herself on this. But he didn’t care, if Bethany could guess all his hidden identities based on her own analysis, then it’s considered he as the Lord of the Dragon Temple’s lost! “Come on, Joseph. I heard from Paige that you plan to take them to Usmait for a few days, right? I’ve discussed it with your mother, we’ll go together. There’s nothing to miss in Oplen anyway. Let’s drink…” Yahir said to Joseph with a smile. “Yes, Father. Let me toast to you..” Joseph stopped looking at Bethany and turned to drink with Yahir with a smile. On the other side, Bethany still lowered her head and ate without saying a word. For some reason, the moment when Joseph looked at her, she suddenly felt a huge amount of pressure on her, which made her felt even more afraid to speak… After dinner, Joseph went out to find Chloe. He had been drinking with Yahir for a long time. At this time, Serena had already taken Chloe out to play. When Joseph found her, Chloe was holding Serena’s mobile phone and making a phone call. When Joseph walked over, Chloe just hung up the phone. However, her pinkish and soft face was a little gloomy. Joseph picked Chloe up with a smile and asked, “Chloe, what’s wrong? Are you unhappy? Who were you talking to just now?” Chloe saw that Joseph was asking her. She quickly said to him, “Dad, can you take me to find Ava? I just called her. She seems to be crying. Someone seems to be scolding her…” Chloe tilted her head and thought for a moment. Then she continued to say to Joseph, “That feeling is like… Oh, yes! Dad, Ava gave me the same feeling as I called you for help that night…” Hearing this, Joseph frowned deeply. Chloe was young, so she might not be able to describe it well, but she heard something unusual in her words. Then he took the phone in Chloe’s hand and dialed the number she had just dialed. The phone rang for a long time before a fierce man’s voice came from the other side of the phone. “Who are you? What are you calling Ava?” Joseph frowned even more deeply and asked in a deep voice, “Who are you? Let Ava answer the phone!” The man on the other side of the phone sneered and said more viciously, “Oh, boy, you are Ava’s crush, aren’t you? Well, let me tell you, Ava owes our boss 100,000 dollars! Today is the day to pay back the money! Boy, since you are her crush, you should hurry up and get the money! Otherwise, we can’t guarantee what we would ask her to do! After all, she is very beautiful, and she is also a college student, right? The bosses of those big cities all are
interested in her type, don’t you think so? Haha…” When Joseph heard this, there was a flash of killing intention in his eyes, and his tipsiness was instantly swept away. He took a deep breath and said slowly, “Okay! 100,000 dollars, right? Fine, I will give you one million! I will arrive before five o’clock in the afternoon, but from now on, if you dare to touch her again, you can’t get a single penny!” After Joseph finished speaking, the opposite side of the phone call was silent for a long time. It seemed that they were discussing something. About three minutes later, the voice on the opposite side sounded again. “Okay! Kid, I don’t care who you are! As long as you dare to come, we dare to receive the money! Not to mention 5 o’clock, we will even give you another hour. If we can’t see the money before six o’clock! You will never see Ava again in your life! You have to bear the consequences!” The chill in Joseph’s heart rose. He sneered and said, “Okay!” Then Joseph hung up the phone. “Joseph, what’s wrong? What happened?” Serena saw that Joseph’s expression was very strange, so she rushed over and asked. Joseph then passed Chloe in his arms to her and said, “Nothing, don’t tell your sister about this Take Chloe to play and I’ll make a phone call…” After speaking to Serena, Joseph looked at Chloe and said with a warm smile on his face, “Chloe, I’ll take you to Ava later, okay?” Looking at Joseph, Chloe was a little confused, because her father’s face was cold just now, but now he was smiling again. She tilted her little head and thought for a while, but she couldn’t figure it out. So she still nodded and said, “Well, thank you, Dad. If there are bad people bullying Ava, you have to help Chloe to save her, okay?” Joseph smiled and scratched her nose. He nodded and said, “Well, don’t worry. I promise you. If there are bad people bullying Ava, I will help you save her…” Only then did Chloe nod with satisfaction. Although there was still a trace of worry in her little eyes, Joseph had promised her. Although she was a little worried, she still went to play with Serena. When Serena walked away with Chloe in her arms, the smile on Joseph’s face gradually disappeared, replaced by coldness! That girl called Ava had done him a favor, or a favor for his family! If she hadn’t secretly given Chloe her mobile phone at the risk of being beaten and asked Chloe to call him, he would regret it for the rest of his life! Moreover, when he arrived that night, Ava had been knocked unconscious by those gangsters. 1 Chloe liked Ava very much, and Joseph also planned to go to Usmait again before he went to Angela. He wanted to find the girl and see if she had any difficulties so that he could help her. But he never thought that something really happened to Ava. If it weren’t for Chloe calling her just now, he wouldn’t know. Joseph frowned slightly because Alpha 1 had reported to him that Ava was seriously beaten at that time. The doctor said that she had to stay in the hospital for a month. But since Ava had come out now, it meant that there was something that he didn’t know… “Damn it!” Joseph muttered to himself. He then picked up his phone and called Logan. “Logan, hurry to Apren City right now, go to the Chihong County, we’ll meet there. Remember to bring a million dollars cash! Someone is threatening my daughter’s savior!!! The actual plan I’ll tell you when we meet!” Joseph said then hung up the phone. At this moment, Logan who was in a meeting with Dennis, Ernie and Bradley in Usmait, changed his expression instantly. After saying that he was about to return to Angela, he rushed out of the office and rushed to the Usmait Airport at the fastest speed! He knew that Joseph was angry. He was really angry! Someone was threatening the savior of Joseph’s daughter? He must be crazy! Logan cursed the fool in his heart. Just now, Joseph’s tone scared him so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. As Alpha 1 rushed to the airport madly, he hurriedly called the person in charge of Apren City’s Police Department, Samuel Clark. As soon as the phone was connected, Logan shouted anxiously, “Samuel! Damn you! You are the head of the Police department in Apren City! Is this how you do things? Huh? You are finished, you are finished!!!” Samuel who was on the other end of the line naturally had Logan’s number on his phone. Moreover, after the Kennedy Family was destroyed, the Parry Family and Logan were the top leaders in Apren City. Although he was in charge of the Police Department, he also had to be polite to Logan. But now, when Alpha 1 opened his mouth and scolded him for no reason. He was also angry. He said to Logan in a low voice, “Mr Parry, please pay attention to your words! What exactly happened?”
Logan continued to say angrily, “I’ll pay attention to your grandmother! Samuel, Apren City has been non-stop having troubles! There are so many criminal groups, how did you manage them? What happened? Well, I’ll tell you now! The savior of the daughter of the Lord of Dragon Temple is being threatened, right now! The person who threatened him has asked him to bring 100,000 dollars cash to redeem her! What f*cking happened? I’m asking you, is this a problem? Huh?” “What? There’s such a thing? Where’s his daughter’s savior? I’ll gather all my strength to rush there now. Quick! Mr. Parry, tell me, please, hurry up…” On the other end of the phone, Samuel who was initially angry, was completely frightened at this moment. Half a month ago, Joseph’s wife and daughter were abused in Apren City, and Joseph was so angry that he destroyed the whole Kennedy Family. But now, his daughter’s savior was threatened again? At this moment, Samuel, the head of Apren City’s Police Department, was on the verge of going crazy. He was really going to go crazy. That was the Lord of the Dragon Temple, and he was very likely to be the future successor of the Frogua’s military department. But now, he was angry because of the incidents in Apren City… At this moment, cold sweat flowed down from Samuel’s body like water… Meanwhile, Logan’s voice came from the other end of the phone. “I don’t know the exact location. Mr. Dawson asked me to rush to Chihong County. And I’m telling you Samuel,, you’d better not act rashly. You know his temper. He’s already angry. That girl is his daughter’s savior. My young master likes that girl very much! You should gather all your forces immediately to be fully armed and wait for me in Chihong country. I’ll go to the airport right away. I can arrive there before four o’clock in the afternoon. Let’s meet up first…” After saying that, Logan hung up the phone. In the headquarters of Apren City’s Police Department, in Samuel’s office, the moment Logan hung up the phone, he immediately rushed out of the office. He shouted at the main hall of the Police Department downstairs, “An emergency! All of you, assemble and get fully armed! Hurry up! Everyone, gather up!” Following Samuel’s yell, Cedric, the captain of the Police Department, who was busy with his business hurried to inform all the forces of the Police Department to assemble. Immediately, following one order from Samuel, all the forces in Apren City were mobilized and quickly assembled… More than ten minutes later, in the courtyard of the Police Department of Apren City, there were waves of sharp sirens sounded one after another. The next moment, cars packed with all the officers quickly drove out. Hundreds of war chariots roared toward the direction of Chihong County of Apren City..
Whereas in Oplen City, after Paige came out, Joseph told her that Chloe wanted to see Ava and he would take Chloe to Aglela in the afternoon. Hearing this, Paige felt that since she had nothing to do anyway. Moreover, when Bethany heard that Joseph said that he wanted to go back to Aglela, she took Paige to bring her back too. So they did not hesitate and drove straight to Apren City… Then Joseph had to give some orders before Paige came out to Chloe and Serena to not say a word to Paige about Ava… “Ava, we must be fated. On that day, you protected my daughter for three days, and I, Joseph will protect you for a lifetime!” While on the way to Apren City, Joseph muttered in his heart. He was a person who would seek revenge what others did to him, but he would also do anything he could to repay others’ kindness!
