The Rise of Dragon Temple By Wu Xia

Chapter 52

It was a quarter past eleven at night. At the top of Gempoint Group’s building which was 100 meters high, Joseph, dressed in black, stood against the wind under the gloomy night sky. As the chilly night breeze blew across him, his gown flapped. He looked down at Olpen’s night scenery, facing the wedding site—which was brightly lit and was in rapid progression-and the direction of Paige and Chloe. For the first half of his life, he had lived miserably. At first, he thought he would only live in pain. However, God unexpectedly gave him the two greatest gifts in the world-a gentle and kind wife and an adorable and sensible daughter. Thinking about that, he took a deep breath. In this life, he would never let Paige and Chloe suffer again.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) There was even a moment where he wanted to give up everything the Dragon Temple, his grudges in Usmait and Vowhye, the invitation from Frogua’s military, everything-and live an ordinary life, protecting his family. Unfortunately, he could not. He had too many burdens and enemies. Even if he wanted to live an ordinary life before wiping out all his enemies, his enemies wouldn’t give him peace of mind once they found out… Looking at the place where Paige and Chloe were, Joseph clenched his fists tightly. To him, they were a ray of light in his life. Whoever dared to lay a finger on them, he would skin them alive regardless of who they were!

in the Shelton family’s villa, Rory was standing in front of the furious Harrison with a bruised face, not even daring to breathe heavily. With eyes full of anger and despair, Harrison stared at Rory. “Do you know that today, the two top companies in Olpen-Gempoint Group and Mysticorps Group, terminated all their cooperations with Dwarfnite Group! Not only that, but they also publicly announced that whichever companies in Olpen dare to cooperate with us, they will boycott those companies! Within a day, they manage to drive our prosperous family to bankruptcy. So, tell me! What have you done out there? Who did you offend?!” Rory was shaking like a leaf. At that moment, he really couldn’t think of anyone he would offend. Although he didn’t keep a low

him to investigate, you f*king idiot! Scram!” Once Harrison finished, he gave Rory another kick, and Rory hurriedly ran out. After Rory left, Harrison—with grey sideburns-frowned more deeply. According to his character in the past, regardless of whether Joseph was behind the Shelton family’s encounter, he would ask Rory to apologize. However, this time, things were different. It was the Mooney family. A few years ago, Maxton was already the lieutenant commander. Who knew? The military might promote him by now. Although the Mooney family was small,  had great internal strife. Leonard’s three sons were not united at all. As for the third generation,(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) it was obvious that Lily was determined to go against Paige. Moreover, Harrison heard that Maxton was very protective of Lily. Otherwise, Lily wouldn’t be able to arrogate all powers to herself in the family for the past few years. In fact, Maxton was the reason why Harrison wanted Rory to marry Lily. Although Maxton was still at the young age of 29, he was already a lieutenant commander. Therefore, it was very likely that several years later, he would be a general! By that time, the Mooneys would soar and own plenty of power! And with that, the Sheltons could also win some fame with power. ‘ Therefore, Harrison decided to hold on for a few more days and let Maxton investigate Joseph’s background. Since the investigation wouldn’t take long, it wouldn’t be too late to decide later. After all, as the head of the family, Harrison naturally understood that people who followed the crowd would never end up well. But what Harrison didn’t know was that even if he didn’t ask Rory to contact Maxton, Lily was already in contact with Maxton. In Lily’s house, Lily was chatting with Maxton through a video call with a wronged expression and tears on her face. “Maxton, Joseph bullied me. He is Paige’s husband. The man who impregnated Paige five years ago. Now, he is back with her, and he helped her to secure lots of business partners. He even forced Grandpa to appoint her as the vice president. Not only did Grandpa demoted me, but Joseph also often scolded me. I don’t think I can stay at home anymore, boo hoo…” Lily bawled her eyes out. In fact, she was not pretending because these days, Joseph and Paige had given her a huge emotional blow. Now, even the company employees ignored her and went to Paige. Meanwhile, in a training field around two to three hundred miles away from Oplen, a 180 centimeters man wearing the military uniform, with a piercing gaze, and a face as sharp as a knife, was looking at his younger cousin sister sobbing through the screen. While he was watching, he emanated a monstrous aura. He was Maxton Mooney, the most excellent man in the Mooneys, and he had a great relationship with Lily since childhood! Upon seeing Lily crying so sadly, he asked in a cold and angry voice, (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)”What did Grandpa say? Did he just let Joseph bully you? Without doing anything? What about Uncle Tommy and my dad? Did they just let him be?” After hearing Maxton’s words, Lily shed more tears, feeling more oppressed. She kept crying and could not say a word. Seeing that Lily was still crying, Maxton got extra annoyed and shouted, “Stop crying! What did they say? Tell me!”  As expected, Lily stopped wailing in an instant and stammered, “Did… Did you just shout at me?” Maxton’s face stiffened, and he explained apologetically, “I’m sorry, Lily. I am just busy right now. My superior ordered me to take all nine troops back to Oplen later. It’s raining outside, but the military orders are urgent, so I’m a little anxious…” When Lily heard that he was coming back, a smile appeared on her face. “Did you mean… you are coming back? That’s great!” Hearing that, Maxton nodded. “Yes, I’ll be back tonight, so don’t worry. If my dad, Uncle Tommy, and Grandpa refuse to help you, I’ll help you! I want to see who dares to bully my dear sister! Also, you may tell Grandpa and the others that I made a great achievement some time ago, and the military has promoted me to a rank higher. Now, I am the commander of the Eagle Troop with 3,000 soldiers! Once they know about this, I’m sure they will

leadership in the future! Well done! The whole family and I are so proud of you!” Even so, Maxton glowered at Leonard and waved his hand. “Grandpa, let’s talk about this later. I have a military order, so I can only stay here for one day the most. The reason why I rush back tonight is to ask you a question. Am I still a part of the Mooneys? Does anyone still listen to me?” After Maxton finished, Lily–who was sitting aside-lowered her head. Deep down, she felt confident, and a hint of viciousness flashed through her eyes. On the other hand, Rory and Harrison got nervous and thought to themselves, “Here he comes…” For a moment, Leonard was stunned before he responded in a serious tone, “What are you talking about? As long as you want,(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) I am willing to give you the entire family! And of course, we will always listen to you!” Hearing that, Maxton nodded and looked at Dominic and Tommy. “What about
