The Rise of Dragon Temple

Chapter 12

It was four o’clock in the morning! Almost all the airports in Frogua were packed with people. These

were all top-level experts from Dragon Temple! After a short pause, they went straight to Apren City. At

this moment, the Dragon Temple members from Frogua had arrived in Apren

City.

Under the command of Alpha 7, they separated and hid themselves. Many experts from Dragon

Temple had finally begun to gather. After receiving the news, Joseph showed a faint smile. Dawn slowly

arrived. Instead of returning to his room, Joseph sat quietly at the entrance of the villa’s courtyard and

watched Alpha 7 wake Jaylah time and time again. D Of course, humans needed to eat. As Jaylah

seemed exhausted, he needed to replenish his energy. As such, Alpha 7 was considerate enough to

send some pig food to Jaylah. Indeed, Joseph’s intentions were clear. He wanted to repay this

b*stard’s favor exactly the same way he treated Chloe. Bethany, who was standing aside, was stunned.

Deep down, she knew that there was no turning back for this matter! While she was glad that Joseph

had taken revenge on Jaylah, one could not live only to enjoy the good times. Following this, Brandon

and the rest of the Kennedy family would not let Joseph off so easily! In the end, Bethany gritted her

teeth and turned to leave. After all, her father was coming back soon. At the moment, the only thing she

could do was to ask her father to help Joseph… As long as Jaylah was still alive, his father might be

able to ease the situation. Joseph did not stop Bethany, and neither did he question her. In his opinion,

there was no need to speak with Bethany about this matter. Finally, it approached daybreak! Alpha 1

sent Paige and Chloe to another safe place. In fact, he chose a rather upscale hotel.

After a sleepless night, Paige’s eyes were bloodshot. For the entire night, she dared not sleep a wink or

even close her eyes.

Although she and her daughter had escaped, Joseph was left behind. Indeed, she hated Joseph for

what he did back then, so much so that she was about to go crazy after going through some tough

times alone in the past five years. 2 Nonetheless, her life was completely changed because of Joseph.

It was totally out of her control how the past five years went. Of course, she still resented Joseph.

However, he saved Chloe and herself despite the danger, which made Paige hate him less. Paige’s

expression was complicated as she struggled for a long time. Just as she was about to ask Alpha 1

about Joseph, Chloe suddenly woke up. The little girl saw her mother at first sight, and her eyes

sparkled with surprise. However, when Chloe looked around, she did not see Joseph. Thus, she

subconsciously asked, “Where is Dad?” Paige was rather emotional. The moment she heard Chloe’s

question, her tears suddenly fell. At the sight of her mother crying, Chloe pouted her lips and burst into

tears as well. “Mom, I want Dad… I want Dad…” Although she was young, she was intelligent. Looking

at Paige’s expression, she could already imagine bad things happening to her father. Actually, she did

not know what had happened in the latter half of the night. All she could remember was the scene

when Joseph appeared in front of her. Chloe was an innocent child with simple needs, so she was

eager to be with her family. Recalling how Joseph was surrounded by hundreds of men before she left,

Paige could not even lie to herself. “Chloe, be a good girl. Your father is busy now, but he will come

here soon.” While Chloe was young, she was definitely not easily fooled. Then, she pouted her lips.

“You’re lying… Dad must have gone to fight the bad guys… He definitely won’t come back… I want

Dad…” Tears began to fall from her eyes. Paige’s heart trembled. As it turned out, her daughter was

aware of what was going on… Standing at the entrance, Alpha 1 felt gratified as his eyes turned slightly

red. At the very least, Paige and Chloe’s affection for Joseph could not possibly be faked.

Thus, it was justified for the boss to return home! After turning around, Alpha I walked to the bedside.

He smiled and comforted, “Your name is Chloe, right?” The little girl nodded obediently. “Your father is

my boss. He is a powerful man. I can assure you that he will come back to you in two or three days at

most!” “Really?” Chloe asked. “I never lie. Besides, you’re such a smart girl, so I can’t deceive you.”

Chloe seemed hopeful once again. “Are you really my father’s subordinate? Will he come back for me?

Will he abandon my mother and Chloe like before?” Alpha 1 and Paige’s hearts trembled. “Mister, can

you tell Dad? I’m an obedient girl. I won’t be naughty and stir up trouble for him…” Alpha 1 did not

expect that such words would come from a child who was less than five years old at the time. Alpha l

nodded. “I will tell him. I swear that he will come back for sure!” Chloe finally believed him. Although

Alpha I was not good at telling stories, Chloe kept asking him about Joseph. Thus, Alpha l had no

choice but to try his best to give her a better impression of Joseph. When Chloe was tired, she finally

fell asleep. Standing downstairs, Alpha 1 smoked with coldness in his eyes. “You’re lying to Chloe,

aren’t you?” Paige walked out with both gratitude and bitterness on her face. “Thank you… At least

Chloe now believes in her father.” “If he is still alive, make sure that he leaves Apren City. Make sure

that he leaves Frogua and never come back…” Alpha 1 stubbed off the cigarette butt and said

earnestly, “Mrs. Dawson, please trust me. Mr. Dawson will resolve this matter.” Paige smiled bitterly.

What was the use of believing in him? Then, she turned around silently. Deep down, she did not

believe what Alpha 1 said at all. After all, who could stop hundreds of gangster? Even if he was lucky

enough to survive, Jaylah’s father was not easy to deal with. He was the richest man in Apren City,

with great influence and wide connections. Joseph had crippled Jaylah, so there was no room for

negotiation. How could he survive this ordeal?
