The Rise of Dragon Temple By Wu Xia

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…”

“What? What are you talking about? I don’t understand what you’re saying. We’re not even acquainted

with each other. Are you pulling a prank on me?” Joseph looked at Sebastian in shock. What was wrong

with this old commander? Why was he saying all these things? Everyone was dumbfounded. Sebastian

then explained, “You’re Jax Dawson.” At this moment, Joseph finally understood that Sebastian had

found out his true identity. Naturally, Sebastian also knew all about what happened in Vowhye six

years ago. Joseph almost teared up as he asked Sebastian, “You… You were there six years

ago?”

Taking a deep breath, Sebastian could feel that his tears were starting to well up as well. He nodded,

then patted Joseph on the shoulder. “Well, I was there, but unfortunately, I was a bit late. I’m sorry. I

didn’t take good care of you…” Joseph’s eyes became redder. This was the biggest secret in his heart,

so much so that he even kept it from Paige. After a long silence, Joseph said with a bitter smile, “It’s

okay. It’s all over anyway. One day, I will go back to seek justice and take back what belongs to me. This

day will not be far away…” Sebastian nodded and took a black dragon-patterned medal from his chest.

He handed it to Joseph and said, “I’ll wait for you in Vowhye. This Black Dragon Medal is awarded to

heroes of Frogua. You deserve this for what you’ve done in foreign countries over the years. This medal

gives one a lot of authority. If you need help in the future, you can take this to the local Police

Department. Of course, you probably won’t need it because of your current strength, but it may just come

in handy someday…” When Sebastian finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something. The next

moment, he handed Joseph a ring with a black dragon design. “This ring is a gift from Matt Fletcher. He

also asked me to bring you a message. Once you return to Vowhye, you should visit him and talk about

the old days. He will prepare some good refreshments for you…” Hearing this, Joseph replied in

curiosity, “Matt? Do I know him?” Sebastian nodded and said with a smile, “That’s right. You both know

each other. I won’t say much. When you see him, you will understand everything.” With a nod, Joseph

suppressed his curiosity. Then, he put the black dragon ring in his arms and carefully kept it. His

conversation with Sebastian completely stunned everyone else. In particular, Logan was shocked

beyond belief. “Who exactly is this person?”
