The Rise of Dragon Temple By Wu Xia

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 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

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

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

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
