The Rise of Dragon Temple

Chapter 54

Chapter 54

“Joseph Dawson! I will remember you! I will take revenge for today’s humiliation a hundredfold in three

days!” Maxton’s face was extremely gloomy, and blood kept flowing out of his mouth. His teeth had

been slapped away by Joseph. Alas, he was a five-star master. If it were an ordinary person, that

person would have fainted in pain. Maxton, Leonard, and the other members of the Mooney family

looked gloomy because they had invited a lot of reporters that day. Therefore, the scene had been

photographed by those reporters. At this moment, when they wanted to find the reporters and ask to

delete the photos, but those reporters had already run away. At first, Paige had been embarrassed,

then it was the Mooney family’s precious son Maxton who was disgraced. Anyway, after this day, their

reputation was no longer great. On the other side, the courtyard was in a mess at the moment, with

wine and dishes scattered all over the ground. (This novel will be daily updtaed at

www.noveljar.com)Even the sky above Oplen became gloomy at this moment. The rain that had not

come in the morning instantly rained down again, but it was not as heavy as the previous day. When it

rained, the guests who were invited by Mooneys finally had an excuse to say goodbye to Leonard,

Dominic, and others and then quickly left. Soon, the lively banquet at the Mooney family, which was full

of guests earlier, became an abandoned mess. “Max, hurry up and go to the hospital. Are you seriously

injured?” At this time, Leonard walked over with a very complicated expression. He stood in front of

Maxton, who was in a daze, and said in a complex tone. “Grandpa, I, Maxton, have been brave all my

life, but I didn’t expect that I would be defeated by Joseph, who was fired from the military! Grandpa…

I’m sorry…” Maxton took a deep breath and apologized to Leonard. The parents of the Mooney family

should be feeling proud on this day, but it turned out to be like this. Leonard shook his head and

sighed. He patted Maxton’s shoulder and said, “Max, it’s okay. No matter how strong Joseph is, he has

been removed from the military, but you were not! Now you are still less than 30 years old, and you are

already in charge of an Eagle Troop squad. I believe that you will become great in the future and

officially be conferred the title of Eagle Troop Ace! It will be a great honor.” Maxton also nodded. He

clenched his fists and said firmly, “Well, Grandpa, I can do it! When I officially become an Eagle Troop

Ace one day, I will definitely return to my hometown! I will purge this city and make family glorious!”

“Huh… You sound very confident! Aren’t you afraid of boasting too much? Maxton, so you want to

replace me?” At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the in the distance. The next moment, a

group of generals from the military clad in raincoats and rain hats came over. They walked very fast

and arrived in front of Maxton and Leonard in the blink of an eye.

The next moment, the leading soldier, who had spoken to Maxton, took out a gun and pointed it at the

forehead of the pale-faced Maxton. “Maxton, you left the team on your own and even fought with

someone. Do you want to die?” “General… Mr. Huo, I… I… I…” Maxton was frightened out of his wits

when he saw Mr. Huo point his gun at his head. The man in front of him was called Huo Zhichuan, the

real general of the entire Eagle Troop! Maxton was just a deputy general of one of the nine Eagle Troop

squads under the general’s command.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) Moreover,

Huo Zhichuan’s real combat strength was already at the Semi God of War level. He was only one step

away from becoming a real God of War. He was also an important protégé of the God of War in the

Central Region, Felix Stokes.

That made him of the powerful forces of the central region. Huo Zhichuan narrowed his eyes, and his

murderous intent spread. His fingers trembled, and he was hesitating whether he should kill Maxton

now. Of course, Maxton felt Huo Zhichuan’s murderous intent. He had thought that Huo Zhichuan was

just trying to scare him, but he had never expected that Huo Zhichuan would really kill him! Thinking of

this, Maxton was even more frightened and quickly explained to Huo Zhichuan, “General, I’m sorry. I

was confused. But I wasn’t the one who started the fight just now. It was Joseph Dawson, a son-in-law

of our family. He came to make trouble! General… Joseph is even a soldier expelled from the military.

He…” “Shut up!” Huo Zhichuan’s expression changed drastically when he heard Maxton mention

Joseph. Of course, this was not noticed by Maxton and Leonard, whose heads were lowered. Huo

Zhichuan was extremely afraid. This morning, he had already received the news that he must not

provoke the man named Joseph Dawson in Oplen! Moreover, the person who had told Huo Zhichuan

this was his superior, the real God of War in the Central Region, Felix Stokes! “Maxton, don’t you know

that you almost…” “Zhichuan!” Just as Huo Zhichuan was about to warn Maxton, a grand and majestic

voice rang in his ears. Huo Zhichuan turned around and saw a black military vehicle in the distance. At

this moment, the windows rolled down, and Felix, the God of War clad in a military suit, was looking at

him. “I am the Eagle Troop of the Central Region, Huo Zhichuan. Greetings to you, sir, the God of War

of the central region!” Huo Zhichuan hurriedly saluted at the vehicle and pulled off the hat on his head.

“God of War of the Central Region? Is it Felix Stokes, the God of War?” Maxton hurriedly raised his

head and looked in the direction of Huo Zhichuan’s greeting. Then, he quickly saluted Felix and said,

“I am the deputy general of the Central Region, Maxton. Greeting to you, sir, the God of War of the

Central Region!” “Maxton Mooney! You and your family… What you’ve done today… Very well…” Felix

said in a cold voice, but anyone could detect the monstrous anger in his voice! Maxton shuddered all

over. Just as he was about to explain something to Felix, Felix’s vehicle had already left. Seeing this,

Huo Zhichuan immediately turned around and glared at Maxton. “Go now and report to the military

division of Oplen. Maxton, from now on, if you or your good-for-nothing family dare to cause any more

trouble in Oplen, I’ll personally destroy you guys! Get lost!” After saying that, Huo Zhichuan quickly

chased after Felix. Maxton, who was still standing in the same place, felt everything before his eyes go

dark and he fell backward. He knew that he might be finished. Even the God of War of the Central

Region knew about what had happened earlier, and Maxton had left a bad impression on him. In that

case, Maxton’s future in the military would basically be difficult… “Joseph… I’m not done with you…”

Maxton muttered to himself before he lost

consciousness. “Max…” “Maxton…” When the Mooneys saw Maxton faint, they were all anxious and

hurried forward to check. Soon, they carried Maxton to a car and drove him to the hospital. At the gate

of the Mooneys’ ancestral house, only Rory and his father Harrison were around, and their expressions

were not good. Rory was completely confused. However, when Harrison looked at Maxton, who was

sent to the hospital by the Mooney family, for some reason, he always had an ominous feeling in his

heart. It was a very bad feeling, like something was about to be destroyed…

Not to mention the Mooney family, at this moment, Joseph had returned to the Paragon Villa with

Paige. When he took Paige to take revenge, Yahir and Estella also went there. When they saw Joseph

beating Maxton in front of everyone, they were deeply shocked. Even though they returned home at

this moment, they still had not recovered from the shock. Because Paige had been too sad and worried

about Joseph before, when she came back, she felt dizzy and fell asleep. Moreover, she had been in

Apren City earlier and then returned again.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) Until

now, she had been extremely tired every day. Under the extreme exhaustion, she could not hold on any

longer and fell asleep. Joseph personally applied the ointment on her face, which was the best

ointment to relieve swelling. Then, he applied some medicine to her temples to ease her fatigue. After

everything was done, Joseph stepped out and gently closed the door

for her to sleep After Joseph came out, Estella and Yahir looked at Joseph with complicated

expressions. Both of them seemed to want to say something but stopped on second thought. Joseph

nodded at them and said, “Mom and Dad, it’s okay. Don’t worry, Paige is asleep. I also applied some

ointment to her face. After a few hours, the swelling will subside…” “Well… Joseph, alas…” Estella

looked at Joseph and opened her mouth to say something for a long time, but in the end, she did not

say anything. Just now, Joseph took Paige with him and returned to the Mooney family to beat Maxton

up, which made her very relieved! But then Estella was deeply worried that Joseph would get into big

trouble. “Alas… it’s all my fault for being useless, ah…” Beside him, Yahir lowered his head and began

smoking. He was angry with himself. He had failed to protect his daughter and had to get Joseph to

stand up for Paige. For a moment, he felt that he was very useless. “At this time, holding Chloe in her

arms, Serena walked over. “Dad, what’s wrong with Mom?” Chloe asked. Joseph looked up at Chloe

with a smile and said,(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) “Chloe, Mommy was too

tired and fell asleep. Don’t worry, she’s alright…” “Okay..” Chloe nodded. She also knew that something

was wrong in her little mind. Her parents were not alright, and so were her grandparents. But she didn’t

ask much. At this moment, Paige slept straight from noon until eleven o’clock. She slept for eleven

hours straight. This was on the premise that Joseph had given her top-grade medicine to calm her

down. In his heart, Joseph was very worried about Paige’s physique. Just how tired had Paige been

these past few days? Even if he had been injured and unconscious in the foreign territories during

these years and used top grade medicine to calm his nerves, he would still wake up quite soon. At

most, it would take six or seven hours for him to wake up. As for Paige, an ordinary person, how could

she have slept for so long… “Joseph…” In the room, Paige looked at Joseph with a complicated

expression, and her eyes were filled with worry and she looked very moved. Even when she was

asleep, the scene of Joseph standing up for her appeared in her mind. Joseph gently held her hand

and nodded, saying, “Well, Paige, I’m here. Have you… slept well? Does your face still hurt?” At ten

o’clock in the evening, Joseph came in and removed the ointment on her face. Her face was swollen,

but she was still as beautiful as before. Paige shook her head. “No, it doesn’t hurt anymore. Joseph, I

want to tell you something…”

Joseph nodded. “Well, sure…” She looked at him deeply and said after a long while, “Let’s leave.

Leave the Mooney family. Leave Oplen. Chloe, you and me… We can go wherever we want. Perhaps

in the future, Chloe and I will follow you wherever you want to go. Is that okay?” Joseph was silent.

After a while, he looked at Paige and asked, “Well, when should we leave?” “Can we do it tomorrow?

The sooner, the better. I… I don’t want to stay here anymore. This is not Chloe’s nor my home, not

ours…” Joseph frowned slightly and then said to her apologetically, “Paige, we can go, but can you

give me a few more days? I still have some things to do. Three days, or maybe just two days. We will

go after that, okay?” Paige frowned. She didn’t know what else Joseph wanted to do, but she still

nodded sensibly and said, “Okay, I’ll listen to you. Let’s go in 2 or 3 days then. I’ll go and see Chloe

now…” Joseph nodded. “Yes, Chloe is asleep. She’s with Serena, in Serena’s room. You can go. I’m

going out to buy a pack of cigarettes…” After Paige got up and went to Chloe’s room, Joseph went out

of the room. When he was walking outside, suddenly, in the night sky, there were some white and red

rose petals scattering down… At this moment, at 12 o’clock in the night, in countless places in Oplen,

there were streets, roads, shopping malls, and squares… All with rose petals scattering down. It was

past midnight, and there was only one day left before the wedding of the Hundred Cities. According to

Dennis’s plan, from then on, all the 1314 pairs of bridal couples from the Hundred Cities of the Central Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Region would come to Oplen. And the moment those bridal couples stepped into Oplen, they had to

feel the beauty and romance of the upcoming wedding. (This novel will be daily updtaed at

www.noveljar.com) So from that night on, the roses were scattered all over the city…. At this moment,

just as the rose petals fell from the sky, countless people in Oplen were awakened from their dreams.

They either pushed open their windows or ran to the streets to watch the magnificent scene of the city.

At this moment, everyone remembered that the next day was the Hundred Cities Wedding. In the

Paragon Villa’s square, Joseph also looked up at the sky at this moment. Looking at the countless rose

petals falling from the sky, he smiled… How could he not give his bride a romantic wedding? How could

he let her leave this place with infinite disappointment and regret? In Oplen, that night, roses covered

the whole city…
