The Rise of Dragon Temple

Chapter 13

In the center of Apren City. At the Kennedy family residence. The atmosphere was extremely solemn at

the moment. It had been raining since midnight the night before, and it had not stopped for a second

that morning. Apren City was in the south of the country. The atmosphere became even more

depressing due to the unusually heavy storm. The courtyard of the Kennedy residence was crowded.

From the gates to the hall, the entire compound was crowded with men dressed in black uniforms.

These people all had unique characteristics. Their eye sockets were sunken, and they seemed to have

deep-set eyes as well. In addition, they had slightly swollen temples. It appeared that they were all

martial arts practitioners. In the hall, the atmosphere was tense. The men sitting on both sides were

elders of the Kennedy family. Every one of them could easily cause havoc in Apren City. Most of them

were influential figures from all walks of life. In fact, even Alex was required to stand outside the hall.

Sitting on the main seat, Brandon was dressed in a military uniform while exuding a majestic aura. Alex

became anxious as he watched the rain pouring. Since his return the night before, his elder brother,

Brandon, had remained silent. At this moment, he could no longer hold himself back. “Brandon, why

don’t we go rescue your son now? Jaylah may not be able to hold on any longer!” Brandon was

emotionless. While toying with his jade ring on his thumb, he said after a long pause, “Call him…” After Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

hearing his brother’s response, Alex was overjoyed and immediately nodded. In the living room, there

was a projection screen. Alex then dialed Jaylah’s number. Back at the the hillside villa. Joseph was

sitting quietly, while Alpha 7 was standing next to him, holding a huge black umbrella. In front of them

was Jaylah, who was curled up in the pigsty, wailing. “Ding! Ding! Ding!” A loud yet unpleasant

ringtone was heard. “Mr. Dawson, the Kennedy family is calling… Should we answer it?” Alpha 7 asked

while holding Jaylah’s mobile phone. With a flash across his eyes, Joseph replied, “Answer it.” Deep

down, he knew well that this call was not meant for Jaylah, but for him. Soon, the video call was

connected. Brandon’s figure appeared on the phone screen. Looking at each other, both sides tacitly

understood what was going on. . “I’m Brandon Kennedy. Are you Joseph Dawson?” “That’s right,”

Joseph replied with an indifferent expression. With a gloomy expression, Alex then said with a cold

voice, “It often rains in Pofral, so the storm may only stop in around 10 hours.” “You have 10 hours to

prepare. Once the time is up, we will come and get you!” Hearing this, Joseph smiled and sat up. Then,

he frowned as he responded, “I have no interest in learning how often it rains it Pofral. I just want to

remind you that I’ve offered you 3 days to prepare yourselves!” “However… Since you wish to be here

in 10 hours, I won’t stop you either. Nonetheless, I have to warn you. You’d better prepare a coffin for

yourself.” Bang! In the hall of the Kennedy family’s residence. Brandon smashed the table into pieces

with one punch as his rage soared from within. “How dare he threaten me?” Back at the villa located at

the mountains. After hanging up the phone, Joseph seemed calm once again. In the first place, he

allocated 3 days for Brandon to prepare, not himself. Since the other party was anxious to seek death,

it saved him a lot of trouble. Meanwhile, the rain was getting heavier. As such, Jaylah was like an eel

struggling in the muddy pigsty. Alpha 7 held a cold expression. After all, it had been a long time since

Dragon Temple assembled all its members. In fact, he had even forgotten when the last assembly was.

Even when they defeated Hollowtalons Organization back then, they only used a

small fraction of their strength. Wasn’t Mr. Dawson giving the Kennedy family too much credit by

sending out all the forces from Dragon Temple this time? After all, any Dragon Temple warrior would be

sufficient to destroy such a small entity. Joseph seemed to have read Alpha 7’s mind. He smiled and

said, “Such a small family is, in fact, unworthy of the assembly of all Dragon Temple warriors. Actually,

we’re doing this for Frogua to witness our strength.” “Even without this incident, I had long planned to

return here. I still have a lot of things to do in Frogua. This assembly is to pave the way for future

troubles!” “Has the manpower in Oplen been arranged?” Of course, Joseph was not even slightly

intimidated by the Kennedy family. If he truly used Dragon Temple’s full strength to deal with the

Kennedy family, it would still be a legendary story if the Kennedy family was entirely decimated.

Although Brandon’s family was the richest family here, Apren City was a relatively small town in

Frogua. Since the Kennedy family could be easily dealt with, what was the point of worrying about their

threats? This time, the main objective was to spread news about Joseph’s return. After all, he had

borne too much hatred in this land. Now that he had returned, he would be able to take revenge on

what happened six years ago. Hearing this, Alpha 7 immediately responded, “Mr. Dawson, Alpha l is

currently working on the arrangements in Oplen. It should be all settled by this afternoon.” After thinking

for a while, Alpha 7 added, “Currently, the largest group in Oplen belongs to us. Alpha 1 will be able to

integrate the underground forces there soon as well.” “Okay.” Joseph nodded with great satisfaction.

“Remember, make sure everything’s confidential! Don’t let my wife and daughter find out about these

things. I don’t want them to be scared, and neither do I want them to get involved.” , Both Paige and

Chloe had suffered too much grievances in the past. At the very least, Joseph wanted to fulfill his

responsibilities as a husband and be a good father. He wanted to create a pleasant environment for

them. Alpha 7 continued, “Besides, the four Masters have already arrived. They’ll reach Apren City in

two hours.” “What arrangements shall we make?” Joseph said, “All four of them are here? In that

case, I will need to pay the Frogua military a visit.”

“For now, don’t let them enter the city. Guard several important entrances to prevent the stealth experts

from sneaking in.” “Yes, sir!” Alpha 7 nodded and proceeded to make the necessary arrangements.

After regaining his composure, Joseph stared at the ant nest that had been blown away by the rain.

Then, he started smiling subconsciously. At the time, in everyone’s eyes, the Kennedy family was like

Goliath. However, in Joseph’s eyes, how was the Kennedy family any different from the destroyed ant

nest?
