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

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
