The Rise of Dragon Temple By Wu Xia

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 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?
