The Rise of Dragon Temple

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

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
