The Rise of Dragon Temple

Chapter 23

After Sebastian and Terrance left, Joseph approached the two mercenaries hired by the Kennedy

family from Usmait. Both of them looked around sixty or seventy years old, but it would be unwise to

underestimate their abilities. When Cedric escorted the detainees down the mountain, these two

mercenaries were stopped by Alpha 7 under Joseph’s instructions.

The two experts, who were seriously injured by Felix, quickly knelt. “I’m Bradley Armstrong from

Usmait. He is Lewis Gordon. Please spare our lives. If you need anything in the future, we will do

anything to help you…”. Both Bradley and Lewis were terrified, but there was a glimmer of hope deep

in their hearts because Joseph had left them behind. However, they did not know exactly what he

intended to do. Hearing this, Joseph nodded. “The Armstrong family and the Gordon family? Very well

then…” Bradley and Lewis had darkened expressions on their faces. Even though they had backing

from their families, so what? Could they compete against Dragon Temple? In front of Joseph, they were

nothing… However, Joseph’s next words filled them with hope once again. “Do you want to live? Would

you want to live on for a few years and reach another realm in terms of martial art skills?” Joseph

asked. Bradley and Lewis could not help but trade glances. Overjoyed, they immediately. kowtowed to

Joseph. “We are willing to die for you!” All martial arts practitioners naturally desired to become

stronger. Therefore, they did not even care about their own family affairs. All they wanted was to

achieve breakthroughs in their abilities. “Mm…” Joseph nodded. The next moment, he slammed both of

them with his palm. Immediately, both of them spurted out a mouthful of blood, and a cloud of black

mist was released from the pores all over their bodies. However, the two of them did not feel any

discomfort at all. In fact, they seemed to have become much younger and energetic. Meanwhile,

Joseph’s face became somewhat paler. Bradley and Lewis stared blankly at the black-colored

discharge. When they saw how pale Joseph’s face was, they immediately understood that Joseph had

used up a portion of his own strength to clear their meridians. The benefits of doing so were

unimaginable. With this, the two men would be able to advance their martial art skills. In fact, both ofNôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

them were confident to achieve the next realm in a short period of time. “Thank you, Mr. Dawson!”

Bradley and Lewis bowed deeply to Joseph once again.

Joseph nodded. “I will visit Usmait to take care of some business in a while. You two are natives, so it’d

be perfect. After you go back, you will make a breakthrough in a short time. By then, regain the family

power. Do you understand?” At this moment, Joseph thought of his friend who betrayed him six years

ago. Since Joseph had returned this time, he intended to settle all grudges from the past one by one…

What about Bradley and Lewis? To put it bluntly, he made them his chess pieces. Bradley and Lewis

both agreed, “We shall patiently await your arrival in Usmait…” Joseph nodded and let them go. He did

not say when he would visit Usmait. In the past, he used to stay there for a few years during college.

When he was in junior year, he established his own business, which expanded rapidly. In two or three

years, it almost became like a conglomerate. As such, Joseph was well-known as a genius in the

industry. As soon as he was driven out of his own family, everything was gone. Even his best friend

betrayed him at that time… Nonetheless, such things were not urgent, so they could be discussed later.

At this moment, Joseph intended to settle things here as soon as possible. Only then he could finally

see his daughter in Oplen. Earlier, Alpha 1 sent him a video, and his daughter was still squatting at the

hotel entrance, waiting for his return… Finally, Joseph came to Logan and said with a smile, “Logan.”

“Sir, if you have any orders, the Parry family will definitely go all out for you.” Logan hurriedly bowed his

head. Waving his hand, Joseph replied, “As I’ve mentioned previously, your daughter and my wife are

best friends. Since you are an elder, you don’t have to be so courteous

with me. Nonetheless, you must keep today’s incident a secret. Don’t tell your daughter about my true

identity as I can’t let my wife find out right now. You can tell your daughter that the Police Department

were the ones who resolved today’s incident…” o After Joseph finished speaking, Samuel, who was

standing on one side, hurriedly nodded, “Indeed, Logan. You can claim that the Police Department

found ample evidence regarding the Kennedy family’s crimes, so we punished them…” Logan hurriedly

assured Joseph, “Please don’t worry, sir. I will definitely keep it a secret. Even if it’s my daughter, I

won’t tell her anything in this life…” Joseph said with a smile, “You don’t have to hide it for so long. I will

eventually reveal my identity to my wife and let her gradually accept it.” Joseph paused and looked at

Logan again. “Logan, after all, this place is too small. Do you have the desire to expand your business

in Usmait? If so, I can help you out. As you’ve heard earlier, I will visit Usmait shortly…” Logan was

delighted upon hearing this. He quickly nodded and responded,

you, sir! I’ll go to Usmait directly once I’ve made arrangements within my family.” “Okay.” Joseph

nodded with a smile. Finally, he inched closer to his soldiers from Dragon Temple and said with great

pride, “Thank you for your help. Please leave Frogua immediately and continue to fight in the foreign

regions!” Glancing at the four Masters, he nodded. “Four of you, thank you for your hard work.” The

four Masters all gave Joseph a slight nod. Then, they gave a loud shout and led their soldiers away…

Before all 3000 soldiers left, they knelt on one knee in front of Joseph and shouted, “Goodbye, sir!”

“Farewell, sir!” “Goodbye, sir!”

The loud cheers resounded through the skies as the soldiers left. Standing on the mountainside,

Joseph watched his men leave. He did not expect that he would be able to establish such a powerful

force outside of the country within the past five years. As soon as he returned to Frogua, he was

offered the highest position within the country’s leadership. His power and influence were limitless, not

to mention that he was also incredibly wealthy. He was not originally from Frogua’s military forces, yet

Sebastian was willing to offer his position to him. Some of his subordinates were war generals of the

central region. He had never realized how much money he actually had, but he had bank accounts in

various top banks all over the world. In fact, he even owned a few foreign banks… In the past few

years, dozens of world-renowned companies – overseas have also fallen into his ownership… Joseph

returned to protect his daughter and his wife with his own capabilities. As such, he was absolutely

confident that he would give them a lifetime of glory and happiness… “Chloe… Wait for me. I’ll come

back soon…” “Please believe in me. This time, I won’t let you down again. I’ll compensate you

thousands of times more for the grievances you’ve suffered over the years. Those who once looked

down on you will regret it!” Joseph muttered in his heart, and a military helicopter landed in the

courtyard. Then, he got into the helicopter. It was only six o’clock in the evening. Joseph did not want

his daughter to wait even one more minute. The helicopter speed was at its maximum, heading for its

destination-Oplen.
