The Rise of Dragon Temple

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…”

in shock. What was wrong with this old commander? Why was he saying all these things?

almost teared up as he asked Sebastian, “You…
