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 Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.

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?”
