The Rise of Dragon Temple By Wu Xia

Chapter 21
Boom! With a loud bang, Sebastian’s imposing aura instantly filled the entire area. Glancing at Joseph, he then said, “Ethan, as
the commander of the Southeast region of Frogua, you shall not take part in the matters of the Kennedy family. Since you’ve
joined the military, you’re no longer associated with your family. Joseph, will you let him off if I personally plead for his mercy?”
As soon as Sebastian finished speaking, everyone else dared not make a single move. In fact, they all held their breath. After all,
two big shots were directly confronting each other. In the face of Sebastian, whose combat power was unfathomable, Joseph
stood up once again. At the same time, he also stopped smiling and said coldly, “What if... I refused to do so?” Sebastian
frowned while exuding a more imposing aura. Although he knew of Joseph’s true identity, Joseph had not officially settled in
Frogua at the time. Thus, Sebastian needed to respond as a commander, particularly when intimidated in front of others. At this
time, Terrance saw Sebastian becoming increasingly aggressive against Joseph. The situation appeared to have escalated. He
quickly shouted at the Kennedy family members, “Do you want your family to be wiped out? Who is Ethan’s father? Hurry up and
cut off your relationship with Ethan. Remove him from the family!” Following Terrance’s warnings, Francis Kennedy, who stood
behind Brandon, shouted at Ethan with tears streaming down his face, “You unfilial son! You have long been expelled from our
family! You have nothing to do with our family matters, and I don’t need you to pretend to be filial! Get out of here!” Francis
continued shouting, “Ugh! My family has done too many evil things over the years, but this has nothing to do with you. It is all our
fault. Even if it means taking our lives, we are more than willing to die here today. You should get lost!” Francis knew that he was
finished, and so was the Kennedy family. However, Ethan was his son and also his pride. As Sebastian mentioned earlier, Ethan
did not take part in the Kennedy family’s activities. In fact, he had been disgusted with their actions since he was a child, so he
joined the military in the Southeast region. His achievements over the years had nothing to do with the Kennedy family. Although
Francis was shouting at Ethan, his eyes were full of love. After yelling at his son, he directly slit his throat as he did not want to
put his son in a dilemma. With his death, Ethan and the Kennedy family would have one less problem. “Ah!” Ethan roared in
grief. He naturally understood how much evil his father done over the years. Otherwise, Ethan would have returned home a
long time ago. Nonetheless, when Ethan heard that his father and family members were facing danger, he rushed up to save
them. At this point, it was already too late. Sebastian, the supreme commander of the military, was willing to fight Joseph for
Ethan’s sake. However, apart from Joseph, there were four Dragon Temple Masters and dozens of military experts. Sebastian
was in a dangerous position... Thinking of this, Ethan knelt down and shouted at Sebastian, “Sir, you should leave right away!
Don’t get into danger because of me!” As soon as Ethan finished yelling, he shouted at Joseph once again, “Joseph! I’ll take
responsibility for what I’ve done. I know that Dragon Temple has contributed much to the country over recent years. Today, I,
Ethan, shall take my own life! Please don’t hold a grudge against Frogua.” After Ethan shouted, he immediately took out a knife
and aimed it at his own neck. The moment blood started flowing out, the dagger in his hand was knocked away. Staring blankly
at the knife, Ethan then looked at Joseph. Joseph said with a faint smile, “Did I say I was going to kill you?” Ethan was stunned.

Wasn’t he also from the Kennedy family? Why would Joseph let him go? At this time, Sebastian nodded with satisfaction.
“Joseph, you are kind and wise. Thank you...” “Hmph...” Joseph could not but help roll his eyes at Sebastian. Then, he said with
disdain, “Don’t flatter me. Ethan is not the same as the rest of the Kennedy family, I am not a monster, so why would I kill him?
Do you think I’m the type of man who would randomly kill others for no reason?” At the next moment, Sebastian’s words shocked
everyone present. Glancing at Joseph, Sebastian said, “I’m sorry. I’ve wronged you all these years. This time, don’t leave us. I’ll
leave Frogua in your hands in the future. We all know what happened in the past, but I was a little late back then. Please come
back. Our nation needs you...”
“Er...”
“What? What are you talking about? I don’t understand what you’re saying. We’re not even acquainted with each other. Are you
pulling a prank on me?” Joseph looked at Sebastian in shock. What was wrong with this old commander? Why was he saying all
these things? Everyone was dumbfounded. Sebastian then explained, “You’re Jax Dawson.” At this moment, Joseph finally
understood that Sebastian had found out his true identity. Naturally, Sebastian also knew all about what happened in Vowhye six
years ago. Joseph almost teared up as he asked Sebastian, “You... You were there six years
ago?”
Taking a deep breath, Sebastian could feel that his tears were starting to well up as well. He nodded, then patted Joseph on the
shoulder. “Well, I was there, but unfortunately, I was a bit late. I’m sorry. I didn’t take good care of you...” Joseph’s eyes became
redder. This was the biggest secret in his heart, so much so that he even kept it from Paige. After a long silence, Joseph said
with a bitter smile, “It’s okay. It’s all over anyway. One day, I will go back to seek justice and take back what belongs to me. This
day will not be far away...” Sebastian nodded and took a black dragon-patterned medal from his chest. He handed it to Joseph
and said, “I’ll wait for you in Vowhye. This Black Dragon Medal is awarded to heroes of Frogua. You deserve this for what you’ve
done in foreign countries over the years. This medal gives one a lot of authority. If you need help in the future, you can take this
to the local Police Department. Of course, you probably won’t need it because of your current strength, but it may just come in
handy someday...” When Sebastian finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something. The next moment, he handed
Joseph a ring with a black dragon design. “This ring is a gift from Matt Fletcher. He also asked me to bring you a message. Once
you return to Vowhye, you should visit him and talk about the old days. He will prepare some good refreshments for you...”
Hearing this, Joseph replied in curiosity, “Matt? Do I know him?” Sebastian nodded and said with a smile, “That’s right. You both
know each other. I won’t say much. When you see him, you will understand everything.” With a nod, Joseph suppressed his
curiosity. Then, he put the black dragon ring in his arms and carefully kept it. His conversation with Sebastian completely
stunned everyone else. In particular, Logan was shocked beyond belief. “Who exactly is this person?”
