The Rise of Dragon Temple

Chapter 22

At the entrance of the villa, Sebastian and Joseph stood across from each other. At this moment, the

two of them were the center of attention. Sebastian was the 4th highest-ranked elder and a decorated

military commander in Frogua, while Joseph was the head of Dragon Temple. Both of them were

basically unrivaled in terms of fighting skills. Initially, everyone assumed that they would start fighting

against each other. Thus, no one had expected that Sebastian would intend to pass on his legacy and

the nation’s security to Joseph. With Joseph’s ability, would he be able to take charge of Frogua’s

security? Certainly. In the past five years, he had set up Dragon Temple, an organization as strong as

the military forces in Frogua all by himself. Furthermore, he had done so without any resources. With

the support of the entire country, how strong would the nation become under his leadership? This was

beyond anyone’s imagination. The smile on Sebastian’s face grew even wider after Joseph received

the tokens from him and Matt. He glanced at Joseph with a look of relief. For so many years, he had

been leading the military all by himself. As he grew older, he felt like he was getting tired more easily

over time. Sebastian had long considered passing on his responsibility to others as the pressure was

becoming too immense. After all, he had to fight against both external enemies and hidden sects within

the country from time to time. As such, he became mentally and physically exhausted. In fact, it was

also difficult for him to make any more breakthroughs in his martial art . abilities… When he found out

about Joseph’s true identity that day, he seemed to have seen a ray of hope in an instant. Joseph’s

strength was no weaker than his. He finally found his successor as the leader of Frogua’s military…

“Do your best, Joseph. Do whatever you want. As long as it doesn’t go against your conscience or

morals, we will back your decisions…” Sebastian reassured Joseph. Joseph remained silent. Noticing

the exhaustion in Sebastian’s eyes, Joseph could tell that he was truly burned out from his job. Despite

Sebastian’s intimidating aura, he seemed extremely tired… At this moment, Joseph, who well

understood Sebastian’s intentions, fell silent. His expression turned serious. Then, he looked at

Sebastian and said, “Perhaps I’m not as good as you think. I may not be able to take on the

responsibility…” “Hahaha…” Sebastian laughed out loud upon hearing Joseph’s response. The next

moment, he looked around and pointed to the four Dragon Temple Masters. “If you are unqualified,

then who would be good enough to lead our country? If the

four of them work together, I might not even be able to defeat them. Felix’s strength also increased

tremendously after leaving Dragon Temple. How can you say that you’re not qualified?” Sebastian

swept his gaze in all directions and roared at the crowd, “Do you think Joseph has the right to take over

Frogua’s military forces?” As soon Sebastian finished speaking, everyone else was all shocked.

Indeed, if a formidable person like Joseph was unqualified for the job, then who else would be? What

shocked them more was that Sebastian was not spouting nonsense, but he truly had the intention to

hand over his seat to Joseph. How old was Joseph at the time? He was probably no more than 30

years old. Compared with the four current highest-ranking leaders within Frogua, he seemed to be

really young. If he took over the military forces, he would probably be the youngest leader in the

nation’s history. As such, everyone was shocked. Logan, who had made the right decision to side with

Joseph, was so excited that his entire body was trembling. He was going to be rich, so was his family.

As long as he held firmly onto the support of Joseph, his family would even be able to become the top

aristocratic family in Frogua’s Frogua. Right then, Logan was so emotional that he started tearing up.

Sebastian turned to look at Joseph and said, “You should also consider your subordinates’ wellbeing.

They are all top-notch experts, but they are also originally from our country. Your return would benefit

them. If you take over my position, they will also be happy…” Joseph frowned slightly. After thinking for

a long time, he looked at Sebastian and replied, “Thank you for your kindness, but I don’t want to get

involved in these things anymore. I… I have a daughter now, who is still waiting for me to go home, and

a person whom I have hurt. I have a lot of things to do next. I want to stay with them…” In the end,

Joseph’s voice became hoarse. Deep down in his heart, he had always regarded himself as a citizen of

Frogua. If the country needed him, he would definitely offer help. However, he did not want to overthink

at this point. He just wanted to go back to accompany his daughter. Rendered speechless, Sebastian

glanced at Joseph with a rather unnatural look. He suddenly recalled the photo he saw previously.

Joseph was holding his four-year old daughter in the pigsty, vomiting blood before he fainted. “Ah…

F*ck!” Sebastian was disappointed. These b*stards from the Kennedy family were the ones who

influenced Joseph’s decision. The next moment, Sebastian roared and suddenly appeared in front of

Brandon, who was shocked. Then, he killed Brandon with a single slap. With a wave of Sebastian’s

broadsword, all the direct descendants of the Kennedy family were killed. Since Sebastian saved

Ethan’s life, it was more appropriate for him to execute other members of the Kennedy family. Once he

was done murdering them, he suddenly turned his cold gaze toward Ethan, “Ethan! Watch this clearly. I Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

am the one who killed your family members. In the future, if you seek revenge, come and find me.”

Ethan quickly knelt on the ground and said tearfully, “I wouldn’t dare! They all deserved it…” Ethan

understood Sebastian’s intentions. At this moment, even others in Frogua would be embarrassed

because of heinous things that the Kennedys had committed, let alone Sebastian. Thinking of this,

Ethan gritted his teeth and drew his sword from his waist. He rushed into the remaining crowd of the

Kennedy family and began to slaughter them… “It’s all because of you! I’m going to kill all of you!”

Ethan was enraged. However, not long after, another series of violent footsteps came from the foot of

the mountain. The next moment, Samuel brought a squadron of fully-armed police officers. The

moment he saw Sebastian and Terrance, his expression drastically changed. He had never expected

that the two highly ranked leaders would be there. Moreover, they both had darkened expressions on

their faces. In particular, Sebastian seemed furious. Cedric Gonzales, who was behind Samuel, was

even more terrified at the sight of so many big shots. He was surrounded by more than hundreds of

powerful men who could easily kill him… Cedric gulped the lump in his throat as cold sweat kept

dripping down his back. Then, he hurriedly lowered his head and followed closely behind Samuel

Meanwhile, Samuel greeted Sebastian, “Sir, I am Samuel Clark from the Police Department of Apren

City.” “Okay.” Sebastian was in a bad mood. Waving his hand casually, he then ignored Samuel.

Pointing at the remaining members of the Kennedy family, Terrance ordered Samuel, “Take care of

these people. They deserve ten times the penalty. Kill those who deserve to die. The rest of them shall

be imprisoned.” Terrance was in a bad mood as well. The punishments on the Kennedy family

members would be harsh. Even if they could survive the torment, they would not be able to return to

their comfortable lives… “Yes!” Samuel quickly nodded. Then, Cedric arranged for his men to escort

those from the Kennedy family down the mountain. “By the way, there shall be a gag order on today’s

incident. Everyone has to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Anyone who leaks information will be

sentenced to death!” While watching Cedric, Sebastian quickly warned. Joseph made it clear that

he did not want to reveal his identity, so Sebastian naturally had to help him. Samuel hurriedly nodded

in agreement. “Sir, don’t worry. I will arrange for these nobodies to undergo a minor memory loss

operation. It would be fairly easy to erase their memory for the past two days.” “Yes, that would be

best…” Sebastian nodded. Samuel hurriedly wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead. After Cedric

escorted the men down the mountain, Sebastian walked up to Joseph. “The past is behind us, and no

one wants to see you suffer. Please be rest assured that you and your family will never suffer such

grievances in Frogua. I will wait for you in Vowhye…” “The last thing I want to say is that you should

definitely reconsider my proposal. I won’t be able to last for many years. I hope you’ll take over

Frogua’s military. Sigh…” Sebastian patted Joseph’s shoulder and turned to walk down the mountain.

Terrance also walked up to Joseph and said, “Joseph, if you need anything in the future, just let me

know at any time. If it’s inconvenient for you to come forward to deal with any trouble, I’ll solve it on

your behalf…” Joseph nodded. “Well, thank you, Terrance.” When Sebastian and Terrance left, men

from both the Kennedy and Parry families were all detained. Logan and Samuel then looked at Joseph

in awe. Because of what Sebastian said earlier, Joseph would potentially become the future successor

of Frogua’s military, which was a global superpower. Kneeling before Joseph, Samuel bowed in

respect. “Allow me to greet you in respect, Mr. Dawson…” It was unknown whether Joseph would take

over Frogua’s military forces in the future. Would he? If so, he would be the youngest ruler in the

nation’s history… O Would he?
