The Rise of Dragon Temple By Wu Xia

Chapter 8
It was as if Paige had immersed herself in her own imagination. Indeed, she could hardly believe her eyes! Joseph appeared at
her most desperate moment. Her long-repressed helplessness made her tears pour out at once. How could Joseph, who had
stopped the car, not feel the same? After five years, when he saw Paige again, he felt nothing but guilt. She was the one who
pulled him out of the endless abyss, yet he hurt her... “I..” Bethany had planned to turn around, but when she saw this scene,
she was so surprised that her eyes almost popped out. After all, she could not believe that a man could stop a car with a single
hand! Standing still, she was completely lost in thought. At the sight of this man who could stop a car in a manner, a horrifying
yet realistic idea arose in Bethany’s mind. Could he be Chloe’s father? In that case, he would be Paige’s husband! Bang When
the rear of the car fell down, the entire car swayed. Even the crumple zone of the car had completely sunken. Smoke was
coming out from the engine, while the windshield was broken. At this point, there was no longer any barrier between Joseph and
Paige. Running out of the car, Jaylah looked at Joseph in horror and despair. He was incredibly frightened. “Who are you? What
are you trying to do... My father is Brandon Kennedy! He is the richest man in Apren City.” “Everyone, get over here.”
The men in the two cars behind him immediately rushed down. All the while, Joseph ignored Jaylah, who seemed terrified and
uneasy. Instead, his eyes were fixed on Paige. D The woman, who had sacrificed everything for him back then, almost ended up
having her life ruined. Thus, Joseph felt extremely guilty. “I’m sorry... I came late.” Joseph added in a hoarse voice, “You and
Chloe have suffered so much... I...” “Joseph!” Paige seemed to have mixed feelings. In her heart, she practiced
countless times how she would scold him when they reunited. However, when she eventually met him once again, she could do
nothing but cry. Running over, Bethany noticed that her best friend was indeed acquainted with this powerful man. As such, she
knew that her initial guess was right. This was the man who made Paige suffer for five years. Just as Bethany was about to
question him, she suddenly noticed a large group of people rushing toward her with knives in their hands. “Run!” With no time to
question him, Bethany urged in panic. Jaylah, who had regained his senses, looked maliciously at Joseph and Paige. The
moment his underlings arrived, he instantly lost all his fear from before. With his vicious eyes fixed on Joseph, he ordered, “Kill
him!” These two words carried an indescripable hateful intent! As soon as he finished speaking, the seven or eight men with
knives immediately rushed toward Joseph. In fact, they all aimed at the vital parts of his body! “Don’t-” Terrified, Paige let out a
cry. After all, Paige and Joseph had just reunited. Could it be that they would part forever this time? Joseph remained unfazed.
Thus, everyone on the spot was already terrified by him. Both Paige and Bethany were anxious. How could Joseph remain calm
and stand still like that? What was he trying to do? A thug holding a baseball bat rushed toward Joseph with fierce eyes. It
seemed that he was aiming at his head. However, Joseph suddenly moved. With a casual grab, the baseball bat instantly fell into
Joseph’s hand. Bang! Joseph struck the punk with his bat and sent him flying. The thug probably weighed around a hundred
sixty or seventy pounds. How could he be sent flying? “Kill him!” Jaylah frowned. When he saw Joseph approaching with a

baseball bat in his hand, he immediately let out a sharp roar. Backing away in fear, Jaylah then swallowed his saliva and
frantically urged his men to counterattack. However, it was completely useless! Joseph’s every step was steady, and the killing
intent in his heart had surged to a level like never before. If not for the fact that he wanted Jaylah to be scared and desperate,
Joseph would have killed him long ago. However, thinking how miserable Paige and Chloe had lived in the past five years, how
could he let Jaylah die so quickly? After all, Jaylah hurt Joseph’s loved ones. Thus, he had to make Jaylah understand that death
would be a luxury. Not only Jaylah, but also the entire Kennedy family! Bang! Bang! Bang! Every time Joseph wielded the stick,
there would be a bone fracture. It was almost impossible for anyone hit by Joseph to stand up after. “Don’t come over... My
father is Brandon Kennedy... If you dare lay a finger on me, you are dead,” Jaylah threatened in a trembling voice. Bang!
“Ah=”Jaylah screamed. Joseph had broken his right leg. “Don’t kill me. I’ll give you money. One million? Or ten million?” Both
Paige and Bethany’s faces changed dramatically. Everything happened so fast that they did not even have time to react.
“Joseph, don’t be impulsive.” Paige wished that Jaylah would die, but she did not want Joseph to get implicated. However,
Joseph kept striking as if he had not heard her at all. Bang! Bang! Bang! Jaylah continued screaming. His limbs were all broken
and blood was all over his body! “You... You are dead for sure... The Kennedy family will not let you off so easily...”
The gangsters threatened Joseph. However, when Joseph looked up, he sent a chill down the spines of these gangsters. At the
sight of Jaylah, who had been beaten into a pulp, Bethany was terrified. Indeed, she was dumbfounded. After all, this man was
Jaylah! He was the sole heir of the Kennedy family. At this point, how could the Kennedy family let Joseph off? “It’s over. You are
too impulsive,” Bethany said in distress.
“I’m not impulsive at all. With his personality, do you think he will back off peacefully?” Joseph retorted. Bethany was rendered
speechless for a moment. “Joseph, he’s kidnapped your daughter, Chloe..” Paige said eagerly. “Don’t worry. She is fine.” Joseph
seemed slightly more at ease. “I found her already. She is sleeping now.” Noticing that Paige did not seem to believe him,
Joseph reassured in a more serious tone, “Trust me, she’s fine. I found her earlier.” Hearing this, Paige could not hold it in any
longer. Throwing herself into Joseph’s arms, she instantly burst into tears. After all, the pressure she bore was too immense. At
this point, she finally could not bear it anymore.
