Chapter 6 Not long after Toby hung up the phone, another car arrived. Samuel, whose face was pale, got out of the car. His legs were trembling so much that he lost his balance and almost fell to his knees! His subordinate, Toby, had no idea what Dragon Temple was. However, Samuel was well aware. As the highest-ranked person in charge of this area, it would be embarrassing if he was clueless as well. A few days ago, Samuel received news that Dragon Temple had defeated the Hollowtalons Organization. At that time, he was even delighted on behalf of Dragon Temple!
That night, the moment he heard that 3,000 members of Dragon Temple were rushing to Frogua, Apren City no less, he was scared out of his wits.
Thus, he rushed over in a hurry. Unexpectedly, it was already too late! When Samuel saw Felix, he was stunned for a moment. A while later, he became even more shocked. At this point, the situation had probably escalated. Otherwise, why would the commander of military operations show up here in person? The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, so much so that he even had difficulty walking. Terrified, he walked up to Felix. âSir! Iâm very sorry. I only found out about what happened a while ago! Iâve heard that thousands of Dragon Temple members will be gathering here. Whatâs going on?â âWho...
Who is inside the villa?â Samuel knew that perhaps these questions were inappropriate at the time. Nonetheless, as the local chief, he had to ask them.
The cold sweat on his forehead flowed down like river streams! After all, thousands of Dragon Temple warriors were about to assemble in one place. If a conflict were to occur, Apren City would be destroyed right away. Letting out a snort, Felix poked Samuelâs chest and shouted coldly, âDo you still have the nerve to question me? Iâd like to ask you a question in return. Do you uphold justice for the citizens here? I donât want to speak with you now. This is way above your pay grade anyway. For now, just do your job.â With his face turning paler, Samuel said in horror, âFelix, please tell me!â After taking a deep breath, Felix replied coldly, âTell you? Samuel, do people in Apren City turn a blind eye to torture and crime? In fact, someone put a five-year old child in the pigpen, feed her pig food, and abused her as they wished! If it werenât for the fact that I canât beat you up now, I would have jumped you!â Samuelâs body trembled as if he was struck by lightning. Feeling a lump in his throat, he swallowed his saliva hard. After all, he knew that the little girl in the villa probably came from an extraordinary background. âWhatâs wrong?
Have you guessed it correctly yet?â Felix looked at Samuel as if he was looking at a dead man. âShe is the daughter of Mr.
Dawson, the head of Dragon Temple!â
Pa!
Samuel instantly fell to the ground. âEven if the Dragon Temple members were not coming, I wonât let you off.â Felixâs words were extremely intimidating. At this moment, Samuelâs brain was buzzing. Indeed, Apren Cityâs future was bleak. When he got up from the ground again, he seemed to have aged more than ten years. He was lowering his body so much that it was as if his spine was curved. After all, he could not imagine how terrifying it would be when all 3,000 Dragon Temple members gathered. By then, their anger was not something Samuel alone could withstand at all! On the surface, Dragon Temple seemed to have nothing to do with Frogua, but was it really the case? After all, Mr. Dawson, the four masters, and the nine generals of Dragon Temple all originally came from Frogua. Thus, how could one claim that they had nothing to do with Frogua at all? âSamuel, what should we do?â Toby could not help but ask. He was completely unable to make a decision. Samuel came to his senses after a long time.
With a bitter expression, he said, âWe must keep this matter a secret. Make sure everyone signs a confidentiality agreement. As for us... We will do nothing, and we will not care about anything.â âIn that case, Felix asked us to guard at the foot of the mountain. Should we stay or leave?â Toby asked. Samuel frowned in nervousness. After remaining silent for a long time, he responded, âThen, leave some men behind. You will be in charge here. Remember, donât make decisions on your own. Follow Felixâs command.â âYes, sir!â
Toby nodded. He then brought his men down the mountain and went to patrol the perimeters.
The remaining men were led by Samuel. Since Apren City was in big trouble, he had to be prepared. Deep down, he even wanted to kill Jaylah. Although the Kennedy family was powerful, they had offended someone even more influential this time!
Provoking Dragon Temple was equivalent to seeking death! With the assembly of Dragon Temple experts, one would not be able to easily suppress their anger. After all, Samuel alone was not influential enough to result in any drastic changes. At this time, Joseph was heading toward Paigeâs location. Along the way, his mind was filled with her image in the past, and there were endless complex emotions in his eyes. Paige often had a smile on her face. At that time, she recently graduated, so she was full of expectations for the whole world. She knew that saving him might be dangerous, but she still helped him without hesitation.
Although he hurt her while he was unconscious, she did not utter a single complaint. How heart-wrenching it was! Joseph had actually become a father! At this moment, he was both confused and guilty. In fact, he could not describe his own feelings with words. Since Paige was driven out of the family, she was probably looked down upon all this while. As such, Joseph could not imagine how could a single mother bear this burden? How did she manage to persevere all this time? âIâm sorry!â Joseph muttered regretfully. âI will take care of you and Chloe. I wonât let you suffer again!â Almost tearing up, he clenched his fists rightly. At this time, Joseph finally reached a villa, where Alpha 7 had been waiting. Noticing that Joseph had personally arrived, Alpha 7 was overjoyed. âMr. Dawson, are you finally awake? How are your injuries?â âItâs fine.â Joseph then asked while staring at the villa in front of him, âIs Jaylah here yet?â
âNot yet.â Alpha 7 shook his head. âBut according to the information from our comrades, he will be here soon.â âMr. Dawson, Paige is out!â
As Alpha 7 pointed at the direction of the villa entrance, Joseph was distracted. At the gate of the villa, two tall figures appeared.
Even though they had parted for so many years, Joseph recognized Paige at a glance..
