The Rise of Dragon Temple

Chapter 83

At the same time, although it was midnight, the meeting hall of the Dawson family in Vowhye still

brightly lit. All the Dawson family’s direct descendants, elders, and important family members from all

walks of life were gathered there. Sitting on the main seat was William, the head of the Dawson family,

and also Joseph’s father. Sitting next to William was the second elder of the Dawson family, Timothy,

who was also Joseph’s granduncle. Now, in the Dawson family, the old patriarch of the Dawson family,

Charles, was absent, so both of them had the most authority. As for William, the second generation

head of the Dawson family, he had greater power. After all, he was Charles’s eldest son while being the

second generation head of the family. At this moment, William and Timothy were sitting in the main

seat, while the rest of them were sitting in the two rows below. There were about twenty important

members of the Dawson family who came here for this meeting tonight, which showed how powerful

the Dawson family was. But at this moment, the important members of the Dawson family looked very © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

serious. Some of them were from the sub-branch Dawson family, and they had a faint smile on their

faces, with a hint of irony in their eyes. As for the second patriarch of the Dawson family, William’s face

was very gloomy because the meeting tonight was not arranged by him. It was the second elder,

Timothy, who forced him to hold it with a group of important family members. William’s face darkened.

He glanced down and asked in a deep voice, “What do you want me to do by forcing me to hold a

meeting tonight? Or do you want to bring me down?” William’s words were very straightforward, leaving

no room for negotiation. The Dawson

family had used to follow his words for the past few years. He was already used to the feeling of

everyone obeying his orders. But now, the situation seemed to have changed. From half a month ago,

the family members looked at him with inexplicable sarcasm in their eyes. He also found something

that his eldest son, who had disappeared for five years, had returned and was conferred the title of God

of War in Outer Region! At this moment, William’s cousin, who was also the son of the second elder of

the Dawson family, Timothy, Sinclair picked up his teacup and took a sip. Then he smiled meaningfully

and said, “If you insist that we forced you tonight, then… that’s it. So what? Haha..” As he spoke,

Sinclair narrowed his eyes and looked at William, who was sitting in the main seat, with sarcasm in his

eyes. Bang! The next moment, William, who was sitting on the main seat, slammed his fist on the table

and stood up. He pointed at Sinclair and said, “Sinclair! Let me tell you, even if I don’t want to be the

family patriarch, it’s not your turn! And you? Do you have the right to cripple me? Or are you going to

work together with your father?” Sinclair put down his teacup and looked at William with a meaningful

sneer. “Ha… Boss, you know very well what you’ve done five years ago. My nephew was so

outstanding, but you chased him out of the family. He’s now a God of War at the Outer Region, just like

uncle. Hehe, do you think my uncle will spare you for what you did for that outsider? As for the position

of the patriarch of the family, I’m sorry, but I really have no interest in it. It’s not suitable for me to be the

patriarch of the family, but my nephew, who’s a War of God at his twenties, is not qualified to be the

patriarch of the family? “What? You want to welcome that unfilial son back to the family? Don’t even

think about it! That’s impossible!” William, the second patriarch of the Dawson family, was furious. He

would never let Joseph come back again! The royal family had no family affec sake of power and

status, he would never let Joseph come back! Moreover, Joseph once fought with him! Joseph didn’t

treat him as a father at all, so he naturally wouldn’t recognize that unfilial son! At this moment, the

smile on Sinclair’s face disappeared. His eyes narrowed as he said slowly, “What if I… insist on

welcoming Fernado back? William, what can you do about it?” As soon as Sinclair finished his words,

the entire Dawson family’s meeting hall fell silent. The atmosphere instantly became extremely solemn.

This was obviously a battle of authority for the Dawson family already. Everyone’s thoughts were also

very strange. Other families were usually the main branch that were desperately suppressing the side

branches, while the Dawson family was completely opposite. The side branches was desperately

helping the third generation successor to seize the power, while the main branch was actually opposing

it with all its might… William, who was standing on the main seat became silent. His eyes were

terrifyingly gloomy. At this moment, he did not look at Sinclair anymore. Instead, he looked up at the

crowd below and asked in a deep voice, “Everyone, what do you think? I’d like to remind you that even

if the unfilial son has been conferred the title of God of War, don’t forget that he has started a massacre

in Apren City, now that he had been expelled by the military department, he is no longer the God of

War. Are you guys still on his side?” “Expelled by the military department? It’s not a big deal. The

military of Frogua is short of

Even if he was completely expelled, I can help Fernando to find some connection with boss…” At this

moment, the second elder of the Dawson family, who was also sitting on the main seat, spoke. As soon

as Timothy spoke, all the important members of the Dawson family in the hall lowered their heads, but

their gazes were shining weirdly. Each of them was thinking about something. In fact, such a situation

had lasted from half a month ago, and it was only tonight that they officially voiced out. However, the

important members of the Dawson family were not interested in who would be the family patriarch.

Anyway, it would never be their turn. But if the Dawson family had another God of War, whose combat

capability and power were stronger, and whose future was more broad since he was in the Outer

Region, they were naturally very happy. After all, the Dawson family was the founding family of Frogua.

With a God of War, they had already gained a foothold in Vowhye, and their status was only second to

those reclusive families that had been inherited for thousands of years. What about an outer region

God of War? A family with two Gods of War! They were both Gods of War at Outer Region that had the

strongest combat capability, and the Dawson family would definitely welcome a bigger development in

the future. Moreover, Charles was too old, and there were too many hidden injuries on his body over

the years. Maybe he would fall one day. If Charles collapsed, the Dawson family would really be in

trouble… Therefore, tonight, all the important members of the Dawson family who came to attend this

meeting had already made their stand clear. That was to welcome Fernando back. Of course, he was

now called Joseph. It didn’t matter. “Bang…” The silence of the members of the Dawson family, as well

as Timothy’s attitude, immediately made William fall on the chair in disbelief. That day, everyone’s

attitude was clear. If he insisted on not agreeing, then the division of the Dawson family would be that

day!

At this moment, William felt a little regretful. Half a month ago, when he received the news that Joseph

was conferred the title of God of War, he was extremely shocked too. He had never thought that his

extremely rebellious son would actually be conferred the title of God of War! He was even conferred

the title of God of War in Outer Region! Therefore, at that time, William regretted it. He had already had

the idea of letting his son return to his family. But deep inside, he couldn’t bear it. When his wife died,

Joseph completely broke up with him. He even fought with him and threatened to kill his favorite

woman! “Was I wrong? What did I do wrong? I never liked the marriage back then! The family forced

me to marry a woman I didn’t like at all for the sake of benefits! Did anyone ever care about me? And

that unfilial son even wanted to kill his stepmother! How dare he! How could he! His biological mother is

dead! If she is dead, why can’t I marry another one? Am I, the patriarch of the Dawson family, not even

having that little power? But why did you hurt your stepmother! Why!” “As long as you didn’t do

anything and didn’t stab your stepmother, I would cripple you and chase you out of the family? I even

planned to hand over the Dawson family to you. You continue to be a patriarch, and I retired to live my

life. Can’t you do that? Why did you treat me like this? I am your biological father! Why!” William roared

in his heart. Yes, his feelings for Joseph were very complicated. He had strongly opposed his marriage

with Joseph’s mother twenty years ago, but it was useless. The family forced him to marry a woman he

didn’t like, a woman he had never seen before! Then he suffered twenty years of pain. Now that the

Dawson family side branch was going to bring Joseph back, that Joseph who wanted to kill his

stepmother five years ago, will he let that woman go if he really came back? Impossible, absolutely

impossible. That was why William had to strongly oppose it. “Why! Why can’t you think about it for me,

your father! Why!” William roared in his heart. The next moment, William forcefully suppressed the

anger in his heart. He glanced at the crowd and slowly said, “As usual, as long as I am still the

patriarch of the Dawson family, I will not agree to your proposal! Don’t even think about it!” At this

moment, the second elder of the Dawson family, Timothy, who was sitting next to him, said faintly,

“Haha… William, don’t be angry. Is there any other way? Have you forgotten that when our elder

brother established the Dawson family with our old brothers, there was a non-negotiable rule, which

was that anyone who married into the Dawson family should not interfere with the internal affairs of the

Dawson family. If there was, the elders of the Dawson family would have the right to cripple her or even

kill her! Of course, we don’t know whether Lin Feiling, whom you married five years ago, interfered with

you or not. But now the fact is that she is the reason why the Dawson family is about to fall apart.

Therefore, now our elders have the right to disable her, or kill her tonight. As long as she dies, our

Dawson family will have another God of War, right?” After Timothy finished speaking, William’s face

changed instantly. But before he could speak, five elders of the Dawson family stood out in the hall

below in an instant. They bowed to him and said, “Patriarch, please kill the troublemaker to ensure the

stability of the Dawson family…” After the five elders of the Dawson family finished speaking, all of the

important members of the Dawson family immediately stood up and walked to the middle of the hall.

They lowered their heads and said to William at the same time, “Patriarch, please make a decisive

decision to ensure the stability of our Dawson family’s inheritance..” “You, you, you… how dare you!

How dare you!” William’s face turned pale bvecause of fright at this scene. He was frightened. Yes, he

was really scared. Although he was the patriarch of the Dawson family, at this moment, if all the

important members of the Dawson family wanted to kill his new wife, he had no way to stop them.

“William, be decisive. Fernando, no, he is called Joseph now. Joseph is a good child, and he

tle impulsive in the past. But as a father, you have gone too far that year. Bring him back and apologize

to him. After all, we are doing this for the family’s good, and let the woman you married apologize to

him.” Timothy who sat beside William tone became colder and colder. William listened to Timothy’s

words and stared at the important members of the Dawson family standing below. Time passed slowly.

Ten minutes later, William sat on the chair weakly and said, “Okay, I agree. You guys send someone to

pick up the unfilial son….” Timothy continued to say faintly, “William, you have to apologize to him in

person, or he will be angry and will not come back.” William’s gaze was blank as he nodded his head

dispiritedly. “Alright.” “You still need to ask that woman to apologize to Joseph. Don’t refuse. You know

how much that child hates that woman deep inside…” Timothy continued. William narrowed his eyes

and wanted to resist, but after a while, he nodded and said, “Okay…” “Haha…” Timothy laughed. Then

he looked at his son Sinclair, who was standing below, and said, “Sinclair, arrange for someone to pick

up Joseph. The child must have suffered a lot out there these years, compensate him more. In

addition, tell him that I will start to help him in the military. In two or three years, try to let him return to

the military and take back the glory of the God of War. Tell him not to worry…” Sinclair, who was

standing below, also smiled. He nodded and said, “Okay, don’t worry, Dad. I will arrange it…” Soon

after, everyone in the Dawson family dispersed. Soon, only William was left in the entire family’s

meeting hall. After a while, William walked back to his residence wearily. As soon as he returned home,

a long-haired woman with a slim figure and a beautiful face came up to him. The woman was now in

her forties, but she was well taken care of. She looked no different from a 30-year-old woman. Every

frown and smile of hers were enchanting and attractful. She was the new wife William married five

years ago, Lin Feiling! Twenty years ago, she was the most pretty girl in Vowhye! “What’s wrong? You

seem to be very unhappy..” Lin Feiling asked William. She stepped forward to hold William’s arm and

helped him sit on the chair. William looked at Lin Feiling with a complicated expression and said

apologetically, “I’m sorry, the elders of the family are going to bring that unfilial son back and force me

and you to apologize to him…” “What! You want me to apologize to that unfilial son? That’s impossible!

Isn’t it enough that I had been bullied by your Dawson family for so many years? You want me to

apologize to him, it’s impossible…” Lin Feiling was furious, and her facial expression instantly turned

cold “If I don’t do what they said, they will split up the Dawson family and attack you. They will chase

you out of the Dawson family or kill you… So, Feiling, bear with it…” William said dispiritedly. The next

moment, Lin Feiling fell on the chair with a bang. She lowered her head, and there was endless hatred

in her eyes… She! Lin Feiling! She would never allow Joseph to return to Vowhye alive! Never! “What’s

so great about becoming a God of War? You’re not a god! I don’t believe that I can’t kill you this time!

Don’t think about coming back, and don’t think about inheriting the family! Don’t think about it!” At this

moment, Lin Feiling’s killing intent surged wildly in her heart. Half a month ago, she had already

contacted the top killers from all over the world. Although she couldn’t get in touch with the killers at the

God of War level, she had contacted dozens of masters at the Semi God of War level. Originally, she

wanted to wait, but now she couldn’t wait anymore. Moreover, she believed that no matter how strong

Joseph was, dozens of killers could kill him with poison or heavy weapons! This time was different from

five years ago. She had stayed in the Dawson family for five years. After five years, she had

accumulated too many internal emotions…

This time, she must kill Joseph!
