The Rise of Dragon Temple

Chapter 15

Just as Hanson finished speaking, Sebastian Parks, who wore countless honorary medals on his chest,

said, “I guess he’s thinking of preventing the military or other stealth experts from entering the city.” “At

this point, it seems that he doesn’t want us to get involved. Judging by his moves to block the city

gates, I assume that he is telling us not to get in.” After pondering for a while, Hanson replied, “Dragon

Temple… Although they helped us many times overseas, it’s inappropriate for them to cause such a

huge scene in Frogua.” At this moment, Sebastian shook his head. “If we were to get involved, we

would inevitably clash with them…” Indeed, this was unavoidable. Another elder, Ryan Finch, who

remained silent previously, added, “If we were to fight against Dragon Temple, what are our chances of

winning the battle?” Hearing this, Sebastian replied without hesitation, “What are our chances? If we

truly go into battle, we will definitely win.” Everyone in the room smiled, but what he said next made

them feel bitter right away. “However, even if we can destroy them, we have to sacrifice a lot on our

end as well. Furthermore, we cannot use large-scale weapons in our own land. If we send only our elite

troops over… Even if we win, it will be a pyrrhic victory. In fact, no one can afford to take such risks…”

“How much will we have to sacrifice?” Hanson asked subconsciously. Sebastian instantly became

silent while his eyes were fixed on Hanson. Only after a long pause did he reply, “First of all, if all

hidden forces within the country join the battle, two or three of them wouldn’t pose much of a problem.

However, only five of such organizations have established relationships with us.” “Secondly, if I lead our

men to fight this war, we will inevitably return with severe injuries and disabilities. Moreover, our

savings over the years would basically vanish. I will definitely be assassinated as well.” As soon as

Sebastian explained the potential consequences, everyone’s face changed. “Are they really that

strong?” Hanson raised his eyebrows in disbelief. “Can we regard Mr. Dawson of Dragon Temple to be

as strong as you are?” Sebastian responded firmly, “That’s right. Half a year ago, I fought with him

once when they destroyed the Hollowtalons Organization. I didn’t use my full

strength at the time, but neither did he…” In the conference room, everyone became quiet in an instant.

It was clearly impractical to go against Dragon Temple. Terrance bitterly said, “What Sebastian said is

true. Dragon Temple is strong as it grew rapidly over recent years. It is different from any forces or

organizations outside the region that have been famous for a long time. It took Dragon Temple only five

years to rise to this level.” “In the past five years, they have destroyed over a hundred organizations,

which helped built Dragon Temple’s reputation.” Speaking of this, Terrance gritted his teeth with

determination in his eyes. “Please forgive me for overstepping the boundaries, but I have to speak my

mind.” “Dragon Temple, or perhaps, Mr. Dawson has always been friendly to Frogua. To begin with, this

incident was caused by someone’s vile actions within our own

country. It was not Dragon Temple’s fault…” Following this, Terrance showed a photo. It was the scene

when Joseph passed out with Chloe in his arms. “He is originally from Frogua. Although Dragon

Temple is not part of our forces, he has done a lot of good for the country. No matter whether we admit

it or not, his contribution can’t be erased.” “He can be considered as a hero of the country, can’t he?

Yet, his wife and daughter were abused in such a barbaric manner. A five-year-old child was beaten,

locked in the pigsty, and fed on pig food. Frankly, if I were in Joseph’s shoes, I might take. more drastic

actions than what he did.”

Bang!

“How can someone in our country do such a wicked thing? How dare they go against the law?” Even

Hanson was livid at this moment. This was the sort of thing military men wanted to avoid seeing.

Similarly, Sebastian held a gloomy expression. His anger surged as he said, “It’s obvious that this is not NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

the first time such things have happened. You should reflect on it.”

Terrance lowered his head. If this event did not occur, it would have been buried forever. Perhaps there

were even more vile things going on in the country, but they were all unreported. Matt Fletcher

remained silent all this while. He was an old man with grey hair and a kind face. “We can’t blame

Terrance for this. The country is vast, not to mention

that development has been rapid over these years. It’s inevitable that such things could happen under

the noses of law enforcement.” One could be strong, but time and resources were limited. Terrance

was in charge of the whole country on his own. As such, there were many things to deal with “What

Terrance said earlier sounds reasonable to me.” No one expected that Matt would agree with Terrance.

“In fact, there is no need for everyone to be so serious. Actually… I’m acquainted with this person.”

“What?” Everyone was shocked. “Do you personally know Joseph?” Matt said with a smile, “That’s

right. Last year, when I was trapped in Wafresh, he was the one who saved me.” “In fact, he also saved

more than 800 Frogua citizens.” Everyone was moved. “He is somewhat related to all of you as well.”

Ryan frowned, not quite understanding what he meant. “He is an heir of the Dawson family,” Matt

explained. “That’s impossible!” Sebastian was shocked. “Don’t lie to me. I’ve been close to Joseph’s

grandfather, Charles Dawson, for many years. He has only two grandsons. Although I forgot what their

names were, Joseph was definitely not one of them.” As soon as Sebastian finished speaking, Hanson,

Ryan and Terrance all nodded. Charles Dawson was also a noble hero of the country. How could they

not know him?

Although Charles was old, he was a famous figure. At the time, he was still guarding Fofluidor.

Meanwhile, Matt was calm. When they all finished speaking, he explained, “Names can be changed

anytime. I’m sure you can recall the incident in the Dawson family six years ago. At that time, Charles

couldn’t leave his post, so Sebastian paid the family a visit.” Sebastian was shocked when he finally

recalled what happened back then. He then exclaimed, “Is Joseph the eldest grandson? Is he the one

who was driven out of the Dawson family by his stepmother and has never been heard from since?”

“What did he experience in the past six years? How can he have such rapid development?” “His

mother died very recently at the time, so how could his father be so cold hearted to kick him out of the

family? Furthermore, he was also stripped of his identity as the heir of the Dawson family. Afterward, he

was then betrayed by both his fiancée and his trusted friends. How could he not mature quickly?” As

Matt finished explaining, everyone was silent. A year ago, after meeting Joseph, Matt began to

investigate his identity. At that time, Joseph assumed that Matt was an ordinary old man, so he did not

pay much attention to him. As such, Matt had the chance to investigate Joseph’s background. “Since

he’s Charles’ grandson, we can’t treat him coldly. Moreover, we don’t have a good solution to deal with

him anyway.” Matt then suggested, “Let’s talk with him peacefully.” “He has endured grievances for six

whole years. Plus, he’s developed his status to this point where he is almost on equal footing with us.

Since he found out that his daughter is here, he will not leave so soon. If we have an agreement, we

will have a successor in the future.” “Not bad at all.” Hanson was overjoyed. Now that he knew who

Joseph was, he had a lot less to worry about.
