The Rise of Dragon Temple

Chapter 62

What kind of people were gathered together? At this moment, at the gate of the venue, the direct

descendants of the Mooney family were nervously kneeling on the ground. Leonard, Dominic, Tommy,

Lily, Maxton… And also Harrison and Rory from the Shelton family. Beside them were more than a

hundred fully armed soldiers from the military, guarding them. When the people around the venue saw

those from the Mooney family, they instantly recalled the scene of them bullying Paige at the wedding.

Therefore, when they gazed upon the Mooneys, the crowd seemed very unfriendly. If it weren’t for the

soldiers around them blocking them, the Mooneys would have been beaten up. However, despite

soldiers blocking them, some people still got a bunch of rotten fruits from nowhere and threw them

directly at the people from the Mooney family. Lily and Maxton, who had slapped Paige at the Mooney

family banquet previously, were hit by the fruits the most. The two of them were kneeling on the ground

with their heads down, not daring to move an inch. In fact, when Leonard had asked the Mooney family

to come and apologize to Joseph earlier, Lily had been very reluctant. She couldn’t bring herself to do

so. However, she didn’t dare to not go. Only she herself knew how she had treated Paige in the past

few years. Paige was silly and sweet, but Joseph, as the God of War, was not so easy to fool. In other

words, Joseph didn’t need to destroy Lily personally. All he needed was to just say a few words… At

this moment, the people of the Mooney family and the Shelton family were kneeling at the door full of

regret and fear. In the courtyard, Joseph, Paige, and the other big shots from Oplen namely Dennis,

Tang Yun, Ernie, and Felix, the God of War in the Central Region, were talking to each other. The

atmosphere between the two places was a huge contrast. The most excited person was Joseph’s

mother in-law, Estella. She was very pleased with her son-in-law. She kept pulling Paige behind her

and kept whispering to her. “Paige, listen to me. You are officially married to Joseph today. Go and get

your marriage certificate in the afternoon. In the future, you must be good to Joseph.

Your cooking is not up to par, so learn well. You also need to keep your house tidy. Joseph is busy out

there, so you should maintain your household well. Do you

understand? If you treat Joseph badly in the future and flaunt your identity

everywhere, I will not spare you!” Estella said to Paige very seriously. Her expression and tone were as

if she was afraid that Paige would lose Joseph. After listening to this, Paige was shocked. She looked

at Estella with her mouth wide open and said, “Mom, did you lose your memory? I am your daughter,

okay? How could you side him so much? Joseph is busy, but I also have to go out to work in future.

Besides, Mom, your attitude has changed too fast, hasn’t it? Didn’t you just say that you wouldn’t let me

marry Joseph?” Hearing that, Estella’s body trembled and she refused to admit it. “Did I say that? Who

heard what I said? Paige, don’t frame me. I told you from the beginning that Joseph was the best son-

in-law! You might have heard it wrong… How could I say that…” Hearing Estella’s words, Paige felt

speechless. But then she shook her head and smiled. It was better for her mother to be satisfied with

Joseph, wasn’t it… While Paige was ruminating on this, Estella, who had been teaching her a lesson

so seriously then hurried to Joseph’s side and chatted with him with a smile… “Er…” The corner of

Paige’s mouth twitched twice. “Mom, do you have to be so materialistic?” She couldn’t help but pat her

mother’s forehead. Paige then lowered her head and didn’t dare to look at Tang Yun, Dennis, and the

others. These guests were all VIPs in Oplen. “They are being so respectful to you all because of

Joseph, okay?” Paige whispered internally, sighing at Estella’s behavior. “Mr. Dawson, I’ve already

ordered the food in the Mirage Hotel. Shall we go now? It’s almost noon. What do you think?” Dennis

said respectfully to Joseph. After thinking for a while, Joseph said, “Well, okay, let’s have a meal

together…”

walked in the middle, with Estella and Yahir beside them. Felix, Dennis, Ernie, Logan, Bethany, and

others were outside… The identity and status of this group of people were so powerful, and now they

were gathered together… At this moment, when Joseph and Paige walked out of the venue, hundreds

of soldiers of the Central Region outside the gates all saluted Joseph. Their eyes were full of

enthusiasm because the God of War in front of them was a real God of War who had been fighting for

his life in the outer regions! “M-Mr. Dawson, please… please hold on..” Just as Joseph and the others

were about to leave for the wedding car outside, Leonard, who was kneeling on one side, finally

opened his mouth with difficulty. Joseph didn’t want to pay attention to that snobbish Leonard, but he

still paused for a moment. In a few days, he would leave here, and Paige and Chloe would also leave

in the future. So it was better to solve these matters completely. So Joseph looked at Leonard and

asked with a sneer, “Huh, Mr. Mooney, what can I do for you?”

At this moment, when Leonard looked at Joseph again, his heart was full of

emotions and regret. He didn’t care about it. He was already elderly and close to the end of his life.

However, the Mooney family that he had built had lost a great opportunity, and it was very likely that

they were doomed. Because on his way here just now, all the companies that cooperated with the

Mooney family in Oplen

had already terminated contracts with them and were going to sue them. In other words, if Joseph

didn’t forgive the Mooneys now, those people would easily make the Mooney family bankrupt! At this

moment, although Leonard had already known that with Joseph’s decisive character, he would

definitely not forgive them. But Leonard still asked Joseph, despite the small shred of hope, “Mr.

Dawson, you, can you still forgive us? If you can forgive us, I will immediately hand over the company

to Paige and the position of the head of the Mooney family to Yahir. What do you think? Can you still

forgive us?” When Joseph heard this, the sneer on his face became more intense. He took a deep look

at Leonard and said slowly, “Leonard, what do you think? Do you think I will forgive you?” Joseph

sneered disdainfully. Leonard felt his heart wilt, and he nodded bitterly… Joseph took a deep breath

and continued to look at Leonard. “Leonard, as the head of the family, you are not stupid. On the

contrary, you are very smart. You have noticed it since the first time I secretly helped Paige, haven’t

you?” Leonard nodded bitterly again. Yes, he had noticed it a long time ago. Otherwise, he would not

have asked Paige to ask Joseph out that day. Joseph also nodded and looked at Leonard again,

saying, “That day at the hotel, I gave you a chance, and I also gave you many chances. All the

problems of your Mooney family have been solved. Leonard, even if I did not take action, with the help

of so many other companies, would you think it was hard for your family to become the top wealthy

family in Oplen?”

The regret in Leonard’s eyes became more intense, and he shook his head more bitterly. “Yes, I got the

cooperation of the Gempoint Group, the Mysticorps Group, and the other top companies in Oplen at

the same time. As long as my family had enough time to digest it, why should I worry?” But alas,

Leonard had missed the golden opportunity… Joseph continued, “Leonard, why are you so

displeased? Why…” After saying that, Joseph wanted to continue walking forward, but Dominic, who

was kneeling beside Leonard, suddenly begged Joseph, “Mr. Dawson, Mr. Dawson, please stop for a

while. I apologize to you on behalf of my son, Max… Our deepest apologies to Paige…” Lily’s father,

Tommy, also hurriedly kowtowed to Joseph and said, “Mr. Dawson, I apologize to you and Paige for

daughter Lily. Please forgive us…” On the other side, Harrison and Rory were also begging for mercy

from Joseph… Seeing this miserable scene, Paige couldn’t bear to turn her head away. After all, she

was too kind-hearted. Even for these cold blooded people, she felt a little pity for them. So she couldn’t

help but look at Joseph with a pleading look in her eyes.

Joseph frowned slightly. It was very uncomfortable for him to beg for mercy for these people. With a

loud buzz, an aura of hostility burst out from his body. He said to Leonard, Dominic, Tommy, and

Harrison and Rory, “Did I say you could apologize to me and kneel here? Huh? Did I say that?” Then

Joseph sneered and ignored these people. He then pulled Paige into the bridal car. Estella and Yahir

also sneered and got into another vehicle and left. If they had known what would happen today, they

wouldn’t have done it at the beginning. At this moment, when Dominic and Harrison saw that Joseph

had left, they were completely desperate. Leonard seemed to have completely aged. He stood up and

left, trembling. He didn’t say a word. In fact, when Maxton forced Leonard to give the vice presidency of

the company to Lily, Leonard refused it. He really refused it. But Leonard’s orders fell on deaf ears in

the Mooney family. In fact, the person in charge had become Maxton… Leonard had started the

Mooney family’s glory, but since there was no one good left in the younger generation, it was better that

the family was ruined this way. It was better than having the family destroyed and also deaths in the

family later on. When Leonard left, he glanced at Maxton and sneered. These were the two people who

had always thought that they could carry forward the Mooney family. They did have abilities, but their

hearts were evil! Leonard left, but those people of the Mooney family were stunned on the spot. Now

they stopped kneeling and sat directly on the ground. Without Joseph, they couldn’t be bothered to

pretend. At this time, Dennis walked to the front of the pale-faced Harrison. He squatted down and

tidied up his clothes and said, “Huh, Harrison, why do you think the Shelton family wants to get

involved in this mess? Or do you really think that you can be on equal footing with me and Ernie just

because you have a deputy general of the Eagle Troop in your family?” “No… I don’t dare. I, I have

never thought about it like that, and I don’t dare to think about it…” Harrison quickly lowered his head

and said to Dennis. He was not stupid. The moment Joseph left, Harrison knew that the time to settle

accounts had come. And the person who would do that was Dennis! He was the richest man in Oplen

and the most powerful person in the business circle of Oplen. Dennis continued to say with a sneer,

“Well, don’t talk nonsense. Although you didn’t directly hurt Miss Mooney, Lily also took advantage of

your power. Since you didn’t get involved directly, then you can be spared from death. All your property

companies will be confiscated, but you and your son can live. Is that okay?” Harrison’s eyes were filled

with struggles and he still wanted to ask for something. But in the end, he sighed deeply and said,

“Okay…”

Then he stood up and left like a zombie, just like Leonard. He lost the bet. He put all his hopes on

Maxton. He chose the wrong player and stood on the wrong team. The destruction of the Shelton

family was the price he paid for that. “Mr. Drake, please listen to my explanation. I broke up with Lily

last night. I really broke up with her last night…” Rory was still trying to explain to Dennis, but Dennis

ignored him and left. For an old fox like Dennis, he could see through Rory’s ridiculous shrewdness at a

glance. Rory’s performance made Dennis even more disdainful. The Shelton family had such a foolish

descendant, and there would be no chance for them to rise again in the future… After Dennis left, Ernie

sneered at Tommy and the others. He walked up to Tommy and gave him a deep look, saying, “Oh,

Tommy, I’ve heard of you. It seems that we’ve met once before, right? Huh, you really have a good

daughter. You not only chased Miss Mooney away, but you even pulled Maxton up in status, making

him a deputy general of the Eagle Troop. Your daughter is really amazing. Huh, she not only destroyed

the Mooney family but even your future is also ruined…” Ernie then turned around and left. But after a

few steps, Ernie looked at the desperate Rory, pointed at him and said meaningfully to Tommy, “Oh, by

the way, thinking about your family, your daughter is really amazing. I really admire her… Her heart is

so evil! Tsk, tsk, tsk.” After Ernie left, the God of War of the Central Region, Felix, came to Maxton, who

was kneeling on the ground. Maxton was the only one who was still kneeling. When he saw Felix,

Maxton looked at Felix with tears all over his face and pleaded, “My lord…” “Humph! You are so short-

sighted! You don’t even know that you have been used! You are dismissed from the military, and your

skills will be removed!” After Felix finished speaking, he slammed his palm on Maxton’s shoulder.

Maxton spat out a big mouthful of blood, and his aura dropped to the extreme at this moment. His

whole person fell backward… His battle skills were now gone, and his future was ruined. Maxton was

full of remorse and hatred! After Felix left, Maxton and Rory staggered to their feet. The two of them

walked towards Lily. Both of them had been used by this woman. All of this was caused by this

woman’s jealousy! It was all because she was jealous of Paige! It was she who told the media in Oplen

that Paige had given birth to a baby out of wedlock five years ago. Lily was so vicious… “I let you

scheme against me! I can’t believe it!” In a fit of rage, Rory took out a dagger and slashed it across

Lily’s face. After a few slashes, Lily’s heavily made-up face was completely disfigured. “Arghh…” Lily

came back to her senses and desperately covered her face. She

screamed miserably! Disfiguring her… This was worse than killing her “Arghh… Paige! Joseph, I will

never let you off in this life. I will never let you off in this life…” Lily cursed resentfully as she ran. Yes,

the hatred in her heart and the hatred for Paige and Joseph had reached an extreme. All the people

around her were cursing her, the employees, relatives, fiance, and brother who had always loved her.

At this moment, everyone vented their anger

that was left was deep despise, and it would manifest into a real deep grudge… “Paige, sooner or later,

I will destroy your face with my own hands, and then kill you with my own hands, argghhh..” In a

deserted alley, Lily’s hoarse voice was like that of a wild beast. However, in the next moment, there

was a slight sound, followed by the sound of knives piercing flesh one after another. Lily only felt a © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

sharp pain in her chest. She looked down in disbelief, and then saw a bright clean knife stabbing in and

out of her chest, crushing her heart into pieces… “Who… is it…” The next moment, Lily turned around

with great difficulty, and then she saw a stranger. His eyes were full of disdain as he said, “Oh, you

want to take revenge on Miss Mooney and our Lord? You’re really ignorant. You’re overestimating

yourself!” “L-Lord?” Lily looked at the man in front of her in confusion. This man was Alpha 1. He had a

strength similar to the God of War’s peak power. If he killed an ordinary person, it would be difficult for

even Felix to find him, let alone Maxton. At this moment, Alpha I looked at Lily as if he was looking at a

fool. He said, “Heh, do you really think that our Lord is merely an outer region God of War?”

“Pfft..” The next moment, the sound of a dagger piercing into flesh could be heard. Alpha 1 leaned his

head to Lily’s ear and said softly, “Haha, of course not. There are dozens of Gods of Wars… And also

the most powerful of the Four Heavenly Kings, which is the Dragon Temple.” “Puff… Lily spat out a

mouthful of blood again and fell back with extreme despair. It was not until the moment of her death

that she really felt regret, despair, and endless darkness. It turned out that they really dared to kill her.

Lily was dead. Alpha 1 sneered and disappeared. Not long after he disappeared, the exasperated

Maxton chased after him. He had been chased by Rory earlier, but as soon as he arrived, everything

went black and he fell down. The next moment, a knife appeared in his hand, which was the knife that

had just killed Lily… The Dragon Temple had always gone by the principle of ending evil using evil

were ingrained with malice and would not be grateful. Therefore, there may be people in the Mooney

family who can continue to live, but there must be no hope to rise again. There could be no one who

could threaten Paige again. On the roof, Alpha 1 murmured, “Maybe God will forgive you, but that’s his

business. Mr. Dawson did not ask me to kill you, but I’m sorry. I’m a killer. At worst, I can go back and

apologize to him… Oh, maybe I’ll be beaten by him again… It would be painful…” After Alpha 1

finished speaking, he vanished. The Mooney family also rushed over, but when they saw this scene in

front of them, they were all stunned. The two most outstanding people of the Mooney family were

finished, completely

doomed…
