The Rise of Dragon Temple novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Dawson. I am looking forward to your guidance, and I am honored to have you here. Please come in,” Dennis greeted Joseph nervously with a huge smile. “Thank you.” Joseph nodded and glanced at Dennis. If he hadn’t wanted to meet Brooks, he wouldn’t have come to meet Dennis with his status. “My pleasure, Mr. Dawson. Please come in…” Dennis bowed and kept smiling as he led the way. Just when Joseph was about to enter, he frowned. “Hmm?” Suddenly, he looked in the direction Serena was hiding. Meanwhile, Serena–who was spacing out behind the car-suddenly saw Joseph looking at her. Shocked, she accidentally let out a scream and turned to run. However, the next moment, hundreds of bodyguards around Dennis’s private club moved. As Dennis was the richest man in Oplen, he hired all of his bodyguards from the internationally well-known Ruby Shield Organization. Two seconds after Serena moved, dozens of Ruby Shield’s bodyguards in tight uniforms had completely surrounded her and pointed dozens of black guns at her head… “Argh… Please don’t get me wrong, I, I, I…” Serena’s mind went blank. As a woman

situation. Instantly, her face turned pale. “Serena? Why is she here?” After Joseph saw that they caught Serena, he was also shocked because he still did not want Paige to know his identity. As soon as Joseph finished speaking, Dennis’s face changed dramatically. Mr. Dawson knew that lady! Right away, Dennis rushed over in person and shouted at the bodyguards, “Stop! What the hell are you doing? Stop, all of you!” With that, those bodyguards quickly put away their weapons. Even so, Serena was still unhinged, and her lips were trembling. Just now, she could feel a strong murderous aura from those bodyguards.

Then, Joseph and Alpha I also came over. “Serena, why are you here? Is… Paige here?” Joseph asked. This time, even if Serena knew that the terrifying person in front of her was Joseph, she did not dare to look at him. She quickly shook her head and apologized, “I’m… I’m sorry. Paige doesn’t know anything… I am here alone…” Staring at Serena deeply, Joseph let out a heavy sigh and said, “Since you have seen something, I hope you can keep a secret from her. My affairs are a little complicated, and they involve numerous things. I will explain everything to you later…”

Hearing this, Serena quickly waved her hand and replied, “Don’t… Don’t worry!

You can go ahead with your own business. I will never tell her. You can rest assured that I won’t…” Deep down, she hadn’t overcome the shock because, at this moment, Dennis Drake was standing behind Joseph respectfully. After that, Joseph winked at Alpha 1 and instructed, “I have something to discuss with Mr. Drake. Bring her in for some food…” With a smile, Alpha 1 nodded. “Sure!” Then, Dennis walked up to Serena, bowed to her, and apologized sincerely, “I’m sorry, Miss Mooney. I didn’t recognize you. You must be frightened. Whatever you like, feel free to ask anyone inside to serve you… I’m sorry…” “It’s alright… Mr. Drake.” When the richest man in Oplen bowed and apologized to a commoner like her, Serena felt surreal. After a while, she followed Alpha l in, followed by Joseph and Dennis. After Joseph and Dennis entered the club’s hall, Joseph directly sat on the seat of honor, while Dennis stood respectfully opposite him with a nervous expression. He knew that Joseph had seen through his thoughts. For a long time, Joseph looked at Dennis before he spoke, “Please be at ease, Mr. drake. I only offered Ernie a chance to join us last night. If you are interested, I can give you the same chance. What do you think?” “A chance to join Dragon Temple?” When Dennis heard this, his heart instantly raced with excitement. All the forces in the outside world knew that some time ago. Dragon Temple had taken down the organization that was hostile toward Frogua-Ironclouds Organization. Now, Dragon Temple was the strongest force in Frogua! If he could join them, then he could expand his influence beyond Oplen in the future. Having this thought, Dennis immediately knelt on the ground. “Thank you, your honor. If you have any orders here in the future, I will obey without hesitation!” Joseph waved his hand. “Don’t be. In this world, there are only a handful of people left who dare to go against Dragon Temple, but I have a suggestion for you. I won’t be here for long, and I will go to Usmait sometime later. So, you can start transferring your estates there…” “Noted! I will make the arrangements today and wait for your command…” Dennis answered respectfully. “Good…” Joseph nodded. Having settled down on the business, he asked Dennis, “Have you brought the subordinate Alpha l informed you? Brooks Nichols. If he is here, ask him to come over. I want to see him.” Right away, Dennis responded, “Yes, of course. He is here. I’ll ask him to come over now…” He dared not ask more questions. Instead, he just gave an order to one of

his men and continued to stand respectfully in front of Joseph. Five minutes later, a clean-and-energetic-looking man in gold-rimmed glasses and a gray suit walked in. He was Brooks Nichols. On his way here, Brooks saw the entrance was full of fully armed bodyguards.

Then, he spotted his superior, Dennis, who was standing respectfully in front of a man with an overpowering aura. At the sight of this, he was more shocked. When he entered, he already knew that the stranger sitting in the seat of honor wanted to see him. “So, you are Brooks.” After Brooks came in, Joseph gazed at him playfully. “Brooks, shouldn’t you greet Mr. Dawson?” Seeing that Brooks was still in a daze, Dennis quickly shouted at him. At once, Brooks bowed respectfully and greeted Joseph with fear, “Good to see you, Mr. Dawson. … I am Brooks Nichols. What… What can I do for you?” With a faint smile, Joseph asked, “I heard that under the introduction of Estella Sheppard, you would go on a blind date with Paige Mooney tomorrow. I also heard from Mr. Drake that you have applied for a spot at the grand wedding next month. Pfft… Are you planning to participate in the grand wedding with Paige?” Upon hearing Joseph’s words, Brooks raised his head in surprise and looked at Joseph. “How did you know?” When Dennis saw Brooks ask Joseph a question in return, his blood ran cold. “How dare you! Shut up and answer his question!” Dennis chided. Joseph waved his hand. “It’s alright…” After that, he leaned forward and hinted at Brooks with a more playful expression, “Haha, are you curious? Why don’t you guess who am I, what is my relationship with Paige, and who is the one who holds the grand wedding? Haha, no worries. Go ahead and guess…” For a moment, Brooks was deep in thought before his expression changed dramatically. Pointing at Joseph, he exclaimed fearfully, “You, you, you… you are Joseph Dawson! The man Paige brought back home! You, you, you..” With a loud bang, he dropped to the ground. At that time, he could barely feel his legs, and he stared at Joseph in disbelief. For a while, he couldn’t come to his senses while fresh terror kept rearing up within him…
