The Rise of Dragon Temple

Chapter 8

It was as if Paige had immersed herself in her own imagination. Indeed, she could hardly believe her

eyes! Joseph appeared at her most desperate moment. Her long-repressed helplessness made her

tears pour out at once. How could Joseph, who had stopped the car, not feel the same? After five

years, when he saw Paige again, he felt nothing but guilt. She was the one who pulled him out of the

endless abyss, yet he hurt her… “I..” Bethany had planned to turn around, but when she saw this

scene, she was so surprised that her eyes almost popped out. After all, she could not believe that a

man could stop a car with a single hand! Standing still, she was completely lost in thought. At the sight

of this man who could stop a car in a manner, a horrifying yet realistic idea arose in Bethany’s mind.

Could he be Chloe’s father? In that case, he would be Paige’s husband! Bang When the rear of the car

fell down, the entire car swayed. Even the crumple zone of the car had completely sunken. Smoke was

coming out from the engine, while the windshield was broken. At this point, there was no longer any

barrier between Joseph and Paige. Running out of the car, Jaylah looked at Joseph in horror and

despair. He was incredibly frightened. “Who are you? What are you trying to do… My father is Brandon

Kennedy! He is the richest man in Apren City.” “Everyone, get over here.”

The men in the two cars behind him immediately rushed down. All the while, Joseph ignored Jaylah,

who seemed terrified and uneasy. Instead, his eyes were fixed on Paige. D The woman, who had

sacrificed everything for him back then, almost ended up having her life ruined. Thus, Joseph felt

extremely guilty. “I’m sorry… I came late.” Joseph added in a hoarse voice, “You and Chloe have

suffered so much… I…” “Joseph!” Paige seemed to have mixed feelings. In her heart, she practiced

countless times how she would scold him when they reunited. However, when she eventually met him

once again, she could do nothing but cry. Running over, Bethany noticed that her best friend was NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

indeed acquainted with this powerful man. As such, she knew that her initial guess was right. This was

the man who made Paige suffer for five years. Just as Bethany was about to question him, she

suddenly noticed a large group of people rushing toward her with knives in their hands. “Run!” With no

time to question him, Bethany urged in panic. Jaylah, who had regained his senses, looked maliciously

at Joseph and Paige. The moment his underlings arrived, he instantly lost all his fear from before. With

his vicious eyes fixed on Joseph, he ordered, “Kill him!” These two words carried an indescripable

hateful intent! As soon as he finished speaking, the seven or eight men with knives immediately rushed

toward Joseph. In fact, they all aimed at the vital parts of his body! “Don’t-” Terrified, Paige let out a cry.

After all, Paige and Joseph had just reunited. Could it be that they would part forever this time? Joseph

remained unfazed. Thus, everyone on the spot was already terrified by him. Both Paige and Bethany

were anxious. How could Joseph remain calm and stand still like that? What was he trying to do? A

thug holding a baseball bat rushed toward Joseph with fierce eyes. It seemed that he was aiming at his

head. However, Joseph suddenly moved. With a casual grab, the baseball bat instantly fell into

Joseph’s hand. Bang! Joseph struck the punk with his bat and sent him flying. The thug probably

weighed around a hundred sixty or seventy pounds. How could he be sent flying? “Kill him!” Jaylah

frowned. When he saw Joseph approaching with a baseball bat in his hand, he immediately let out a

sharp roar. Backing away in fear, Jaylah then swallowed his saliva and frantically urged his men to

counterattack. However, it was completely useless! Joseph’s every step was steady, and the killing

intent in his heart had surged to a level like never before. If not for the fact that he wanted Jaylah to be

scared and desperate, Joseph would have killed him long ago. However, thinking how miserable Paige

and Chloe had lived in the past five years, how could he let Jaylah die so quickly? After all, Jaylah hurt

Joseph’s loved ones. Thus, he had to make Jaylah understand that death would be a luxury. Not only

Jaylah, but also the entire Kennedy family! Bang! Bang! Bang! Every time Joseph wielded the stick,

there would be a bone fracture. It was almost impossible for anyone hit by Joseph to stand up after.

“Don’t come over… My father is Brandon Kennedy… If you dare lay a finger on me, you are dead,”

Jaylah threatened in a trembling voice. Bang! “Ah=”Jaylah screamed. Joseph had broken his right leg.

“Don’t kill me. I’ll give you money. One million? Or ten million?” Both Paige and Bethany’s faces

changed dramatically. Everything happened so fast that they did not even have time to react. “Joseph,

don’t be impulsive.” Paige wished that Jaylah would die, but she did not want Joseph to get implicated.

However, Joseph kept striking as if he had not heard her at all. Bang! Bang! Bang! Jaylah continued

screaming. His limbs were all broken and blood was all over his body! “You… You are dead for sure…

The Kennedy family will not let you off so easily…”

The gangsters threatened Joseph. However, when Joseph looked up, he sent a chill down the spines

of these gangsters. At the sight of Jaylah, who had been beaten into a pulp, Bethany was terrified.

Indeed, she was dumbfounded. After all, this man was Jaylah! He was the sole heir of the Kennedy

family. At this point, how could the Kennedy family let Joseph off? “It’s over. You are too impulsive,”

Bethany said in distress.

“I’m not impulsive at all. With his personality, do you think he will back off peacefully?” Joseph retorted.

Bethany was rendered speechless for a moment. “Joseph, he’s kidnapped your daughter, Chloe..”

Paige said eagerly. “Don’t worry. She is fine.” Joseph seemed slightly more at ease. “I found her

already. She is sleeping now.” Noticing that Paige did not seem to believe him, Joseph reassured in a

more serious tone, “Trust me, she’s fine. I found her earlier.” Hearing this, Paige could not hold it in any

longer. Throwing herself into Joseph’s arms, she instantly burst into tears. After all, the pressure she

bore was too immense. At this point, she finally could not bear it anymore.
