The Rise of Dragon Temple By Wu Xia

Chapter 83 At the stime, 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 chere 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. Sof 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 wantto do by forcingto hold a meeting tonight? Or do you want to bringdown?” William's words were very straightforward, leaving no room for negotiation. The Dawson family had used to follow his words for the past few years. He was already used to the feeling of everyone obeying his orders. But now, the situation seemed to have changed. From half a month ago, the family members looked at him with inexplicable sarcasm in their eyes. He also found something that his eldest son, who had disappeared for five years, had returned and was conferred the title of God of War in Outer Region! At this moment, William's cousin, who was also the son of the second elder of the Dawson family, Timothy, Sinclair picked up his teacup and took a sip. Then he smiled meaningfully and said, “If you insist that we forced you tonight, then... that’s it. So what? Haha..” As he spoke, Sinclair narrowed his eyes and looked at William, who was sitting in the main seat, with sarcasm in his eyes. Bang! The next moment, William, who was sitting on the main seat, slammed his fist on the table and stood up. He pointed at Sinclair and said, “Sinclair! Lettell you, even if | don’t want to be the family patriarch, it’s not your turn! And you? Do you have the right to cripple me? Or are you going to work together with your father?” Sinclair put down his teacup and looked at William with a meaningful sneer. “Ha... Boss, you know very well what you've done five years ago. My nephew was so outstanding, but you chased him out of the family. He’s now a God of War at the Outer Region, just like uncle.

Hehe, do you think my uncle will spare you for what you did for that outsider? As for the position of the patriarch of the family, I'm sorry, but | really have no interest in it. It’s not suitable forto be the patriarch of the family, but my nephew, who's a War of God at his twenties, is not qualified to be the patriarch of the family? “What? You want to welcthat 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 cback again! The royal family had no family affec sake of power and status, he would never let Joseph cback! 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 becextremely 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 becsilent. 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 you guys still on his side?” “Expelled by the military department? It’s not a big deal. The military of Frogua is short of Even if he was completely expelled, | can help Fernando to find sconnection with boss...” At this moment, the second elder of 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 welca bigger development in the future. Moreover, Charles was too old, and there were too many hidden injuries on his body over the years.

Maybe he would fall one day. If Charles collapsed, the Dawson family would really be in trouble... Therefore, tonight, all the important members of the Dawson family who cto attend this meeting had already made their stand clear. That was to welcFernando back. Of course, he was now called Joseph. It didn’t matter.

“Bang...” The silence of the members of the Dawson family, as well as Timothy's attitude, immediately made William fall on the chair in disbelief. That day, everyone's attitude was clear. If he insisted on not agreeing, then the division of the Dawson family would be that day! At this moment, William felt a little regretful. Half a month ago, when he received the news that Joseph was conferred the title of God of War, he was extremely shocked too. He had never thought that his extremely rebellious son would actually be conferred the title of God of War! He was even conferred the title of God of War in Outer Region! Therefore, at that time, William regretted it. He had already had the idea of letting his son return to his family. But deep inside, he couldn’t bear it. When his wife died, Joseph completely broke up with him. He even fought with him and threatened to kill his favorite woman! “Was | wrong? What did | do wrong? | never liked the marriage back then! The family forcedto 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 | marry another one? Am |, 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, | would cripple you and chase you out of the family? | even planned to hand over the Dawson family to you. You continue to be a patriarch, and | retired to live my life.

Can't you do that? Why did you treatlike this? | 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 cback? 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 | am still the patriarch of the Dawson family, | 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 the Dawson family stood out in the hall below in an instant. They bowed to him and said, “Patriarch, please kill the troublemaker to ensure the stability of the Dawson family...” After the five elders of the Dawson family finished speaking, all of the important members of the Dawson family immediately stood up and walked to the middle of the hall. They lowered their heads and said to William at the stime, “Patriarch, please make a decisive decision to ensure the stability of our Dawson family’s inheritance..” “You, you, you... how dare you! How dare you!” William's face turned pale bvecause of fright at this scene. He was frightened. Yes, he was really scared. Although he was the patriarch of the Dawson family, at this moment, if all the important members of the Dawson family wanted to kill his new wife, he had no way to stop them. “William, be decisive. Fernando, no, he is called Joseph now. Joseph is a good child, and he tle impulsive in the past. But as a father, you have gone too far that year. Bring him back and apologize to him.

After all, we are doing this for the family’s good, and let the woman you married apologize to him.” Timothy who sat beside William tone beccolder and colder. William listened to Timothy's words and stared at the important members of the Dawson family standing below. Tpassed slowly. Ten minutes later, William sat on the chair weakly and said, “Okay, | agree. You guys send someone to pick up the unfilial son....” Timothy continued to say faintly, “William, you have to apologize to him in person, or he will be angry and will not cback.” William's gaze was blank as he nodded his head dispiritedly. “Alright.” “You still need to ask that woman to apologize to Joseph. Don’t refuse. You know how much that child hates that woman deep inside...” Timothy continued. William narrowed his eyes and wanted to resist, but after a while, he nodded and said, “Okay...” “Haha...” Timothy laughed. Then he looked at his son Sinclair, who was standing below, and said, “Sinclair, arrange for someone to pick up Joseph. The child must have suffered a lot out there these years, compensate him more. In addition, tell him that | will start to help him in the military. In two or three years, try to let him return to the military and take back the glory of the God of War. Tell him not to worry...” Sinclair, who was standing below, also smiled. He nodded and said, “Okay, don’t worry, Dad. | will arrange it...” Soon after, everyone in the Dawson family dispersed. Soon, only William was left in the entire family’s meeting hall. After a while, William walked back to his residence wearily. As soon as he returned home, a long-haired woman with a slim figure and a beautiful face cup to him. The woman was now in her forties, but she was well taken care of. She looked no different from a 30-year-old woman. Every frown and smile of hers were enchanting and attractful. She was the new wife William married five years ago, Lin Feiling! Twenty years ago, she was the most pretty girl in Vowhye! “What's wrong? You seem to be very unhappy..” Lin Feiling asked William. She stepped forward to hold William's arm and helped him sit on the chair. William looked at Lin Feiling with a complicated expression and said apologetically, “I'm sorry, the elders of the family are going to bring that unfilial son back and forceand you to apologize to him...” “What! You wantto apologize to that unfilial son? That's impossible! Isn't it enough that | had been bullied by your Dawson family for so many years? You wantto apologize to him, it's impossible...” Lin Feiling was furious, and her facial expression instantly turned cold “If | don’t do what they said, they will split up the Dawson family and attack you. They will chase you out of the Dawson family or kill you... So, Feiling, bear with it...” William said dispiritedly. The next moment, Lin Feiling fell on the chair with a bang. She lowered her head, and there was endless hatred in her eyes... She! Lin Feiling! She would never allow Joseph to return to Vowhye alive! Never! “What's so great about becoming a God of War? You're not a god! | don’t believe that | can’t kill you this time! Don’t think about coming back, and don’t think about inheriting the family! Don’t think about it!” At this moment, Lin Feiling’s killing intent surged wildly in her heart. Half a month ago, she had already contacted the top killers from all over the world. Although she couldn't get in touch with the killers at the God of War level, she had contacted dozens of masters at the Semi God of War level. Originally, she wanted to wait, but now she couldn't wait anymore. Moreover, she believed that no matter how strong Joseph was, dozens of killers could kill him with poison or heavy weapons! This twas different from five years ago. She had stayed in the Dawson family for five years. After five years, she had accumulated too many internal emotions...

This time, she must kill Joseph!
