The Rise of Dragon Temple

Chapter 103

After Paige and Joseph settled in their seats, Yin Chaoge went on to order some food. After she looked

at the menu and ordered a few dishes, Leng Yijun took over and ordered a few more. When it was

Paige’s turn, she looked at the exquisite dishes on the menu and had no idea on what to order as she

never had such delicacies before. It was also her first time trying the Palatian cuisine in the most fancy

steak restaurant of Usmait. Just as she was worrying, Joseph, who was sitting beside her, suddenly

smiled and helped her with her order. He spoke in fluent Palatian language with the waiter. “You are

fluent in the Palatian language?” The waitress looked at Joseph in shock. Joseph nodded with a smile,

“Yes, I used to live there for quite some time.” The waitress observed the details of Joseph’s

movements and sitting posture, and her eyes were filled with even more excitement, “Mr. Dawson, you

are the most distinguished guest in our country. Please have a good meal.” The beautiful waitress in

the steak restaurant was very excited. She even purposely went to the side and gave them a

complementary violin performance. Leng Yijun and the rest were in awe when the violin performance

was over. They looked at Joseph unbelievably and asked, “How are you so fluent in ordering in

Palatian?” Joseph nodded and said with a smile, “Well, I know a little about it. I’ve been there a few

times before.” He was speaking while helping Paige sort out the dishes in front of her. It was no

surprise that he went there before. Moreover, he was even invited by the royalty to attend an event.

Despite that, he still depended on his mood and schedule to attend their invitation. Looking at the

surprised expressions of Yin Chaoge and Leng Yijun, Paige was stunned at first, but then she smiled.

Her husband was not only an elite in the military force. Meanwhile, Joseph looked at his silly wife and

felt a little speechless. Just wait and see, Paige, your husband is about to reveal everything about him.

Be prepared and don’t be too shocked. Then, they went on to have their meal. However, Leng Yijun

and Yin Chaoge couldn’t but steal some glances at Joseph. They realized that no matter how hard they

looked, they still couldn’t read Joseph’s mind. It was as if there were layers of mystery that hid him, and

everytime they tried to look at him from a different angle, they would find something different.

When they were about done with their meals, Leng Yijun suddenly asked Joseph, “Mr. Dawson, do you

have a job now?” Joseph smiled in response, “Well, not yet, but I have plans to start looking for one, I

wasn’t quite used to the surroundings when I first came back, but now I’m quite settled.” Indeed,

Joseph had his reasons. When he was at the Outer Regions for the past five years, he was either in a

battle or on the way to a battle. Back then, he took on way too much pressure. Resulting him to be in a

constant state of trying to become stronger. When he first came back, he wasn’t quite used to the © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

peaceful life here. It was because this place was too safe and he wasn’t used to being safe. Therefore,

he had complicated feelings about it. But after living a peaceful life with Paige for two months, he finally

got used to this lifestyle and managed to bury that burning passion deep inside of him. Perhaps when

he would have the chance to lead the Dragon Temple army again someday, then this burning passion

will be ignited once again. Leng Yijun took a sip of coffee, and wanted to continue to know more about

Joseph, “In that case, are you interested to join Chaoge Technology, Mr. Dawson? Chaoge and I have

been

working hard to build up our own Safety Department.” Joseph laughed as he heard what she said. His

smile was very mysterious and it felt like he was feeling speechless. He looked at Leng Yijun with a

smile and asked, “Miss Leng, are you asking me to be your department’s security guard?” Joseph

chuckled speechlessly. How could they let him, the Lord of the Dragon Temple, an eternal hero, to be a

security guard in their small company? It was quite bold of them to have such a thought. Paige, who

was sitting next to Joseph, also felt that it was kind of impolite to make this request. No doubt, she

knew her husband was known as the God of War when he was in the Outer Region! But of course,

besides being pretty, the silly heroine, Paige, was still lacking in other aspects. For instance, the friends

she mingled with. Therefore, it was only natural that they didn’t know how mighty the title ‘God of War’

was in the Outer Region. They only knew that her husband was very competent and powerful, but they

also thought his capability was limited.

Therefore, based on her understanding of Joseph’s real identity, Paige was slightly offended and shook

her head as she looked at Leng Yijun, “Forget about it, Yijun. Joseph has not decided on what he

wants to do soon.”

Leng Yijun could tell that Paige was misunderstanding something. Therefore, she instantly explained to

her, “I believe you’ve misunderstood me, Paige. How could we let your husband be a security guard?

What we’re saying is the General Manager position of the whole Safety Department! It is equally as

important as my position, and the yearly salary for that is a few million yuan! What were you thinking

about?

“Wait, really? The General Manager of the Safety Department?” Paige instantly became excited and

asked many questions. The maximum of her current job’s salary was only two hundred thousand over

yuan, and it was all earned through blood, sweat and tears despite her being in a well established

company in Usmait.

Leng Yijun smiled and nodded, “Of course. Why would we cheat you?” Yin Chaoge then looked at

Joseph sincerely, “Mr. Dawson, what Yijun mentioned were also my intentions. Are you willing to come

over and help us out?” Since Yin Chaoge said so, Paige immediately told Joseph, “What do you think,

Joseph? Do you want to give it a try? After all, you can’t just stay at home all the time. You’ll become

useless if you coop yourself inside all day.” Joseph’s heart twitched when heard his silly wife’s words.

He was certain that his wife was just interested in the large sum of annual salary. He was totally

defeated. He didn’t even know how much money he was worth right now. Well, it was surely enough for

them to not worry about their spendings for a long life. Joseph wanted to punish her by spanking her,

but that thought soon went away. It was enough for his wife to sit still and be pretty, he couldn’t bear to

actually hit her. With that, Joseph ended up telling Chaoge helplessly, “It’s not that I’m not willing to

come, Miss Yin. It’s just that you are from the Yin family. Your family’s wealth and power is ranked in

second place in all of Usmait. There must be tons of competent candidates in the Yin Family.

Therefore, stop messing around with me. How could you not have a suitable candidate?”

Yin Chaoge shook her head and said, “It’s different. I don’t trust the people sent over by the Yin family.

You know how complicated such families can be. I just can’t trust them.” Joseph looked at Yin Chaoge

with a brief smile, “Pardon me, Miss Yin, but do you actually trust me? This is only our first meeting”

However, Yin Chaoge nodded seriously and said, “Yes, Mr. Dawson, I trust you! You are someone who

can retire from the military for Paige and do anything for her. I absolutely trust someone like you. So,

please help me. I don’t know many people in Usmait besides Yijun and Paige. I can give you a better

raise, but please, help me, alright?” At this time, Paige also shook Joseph’s arm and said, “Honey, why

don’t you just go over and help Chaoge? Times are really difficult for Chaoge and Yijun now since their

company is just starting out.” Joseph’s heart tightened depressedly again. He was lost for words

towards his beautiful wife. Was she really that anxious to sell her husband away? Forget it. After all,

she was indeed the one he wanted to marry. Then, Joseph smiled at Leng Yijun and Yin Chaoge

speechlessly, “You two surely came prepared. However, I do have one question. How can you be so

sure that I’m capable of that position? What if I can’t even beat a single bodyguard from the Yin

family?” Unexpectedly, when Joseph was done asking, both Leng Yijun and Yin Chaoge laughed. The

two girls looked at each other and understood the meaning in each other’s eyes. Of course, they

trusted Joseph’s strength. What kind of joke was this? Since the night Yijun met up with Alpha 1 King,

she felt that she couldn’t defeat Alpha 1. She couldn’t even defeat Joseph’s underlings, hence how

weak could Joseph be? Therefore, in Leng Yijun’s heart, Joseph’s ability was about the same as the

Semi God of War’s. Besides, he was from the battlefield of the Outer Region. Naturally, he was much

stronger than her. Of course, no matter how much she thinks highly of Joseph’s real strength, she did

not dare to perceive Joseph as the God of War. That was because she didn’t believe that a man, who

was given the title as ‘the God of War of Frogua’ in the Outer Region, would actually retire from the

military just for Paige. No way he was willing to come back and live a normal, mundane life. It was

known that having the life of the God of War, Wang Tianhai, meant that he would be in control of most

of the powers in Usmait. Which was why she only categorized Joseph’s abilities at the ranking that was

below the God of War, but higher than the others. That was the limit of how much Leng Yijun’s brain

could handle to analyze. Joseph was silent. He did see something from the look of these two women’s

eyes. They have probably encountered the Alpha 1 King before, hence they somewhat knew about his

capabilities. But for the Yin family to hire him? What a joke. If he were to really appear in front of Yin

Zheng, Yin Zheng would be scared out of his wits. At that time, he would surely be in an awkward

position to face these two women, and also his mesmerizingly stunning wife. After a long time, Joseph

said to Yin Chaoge and Leng Yijun helplessly, “Are you sure that you want me to help you? Both Mr.

Leng and Yin Chaoge nodded excitedly, “Absolutely, Mr. Dawson. Do we have an agreement?” The

corners of Joseph’s mouth twitched. As expected by his silly wife, he nodded and said, “Alright, sure.

However, the pay for this job is still not too satisfactory. It’s too little…” After saying that, Joseph paused

and said, “Forget it. This will do. I’ll help out for a month first and we will discuss the future adjustments

after a month.” Hearing that, Leng Yijun smiled while she stirred the metal spoon in her coffee cup, “Is it

because the pay for this job is too little? In that case, were you ranked the God of War in the Outer

Region, Mr. Dawson? Only if you were, then you can assume that what we suggested was too little. If

not, such pay is already very good for the rank of the Semi God of WAr.” Yijun noticed that although

Joseph accepted their offer, he still felt that the pay they offered was too little. That made her slightly

uncomfortable. She felt that he was being too much. After all, she still felt that he was at most at the

rank of the Semi God of War. But after Leng Yijun finished speaking, she smiled. She acted like she

knew that Paige’s

husband was really the God of War, but she just wouldn’t tell him. Meanwhile, Joseph also smiled in

response, and he couldn’t be bothered to further explain anything. The meal today was probably

arranged just for him by Yin Chaoge and Leng Yijun. As for his silly wife, she probably knew about this

beforehand. That’s right, she knew about it and went along with the both of them to sell him out. At this

moment, Joseph looked at his silly wife, who had been sitting next to him with her head down while

smiling. He sighed in his heart. No wonder she worked so hard last night. It turned out that she was

feeling guilty. Joseph looked up at the ceiling. It was only for a month, no big deal. He had already

begun to show his second identity in front of Paige. A month later, until Paige managed to make great

achievements in the industry, he would then arrange her to the Junlin Group and let her be the

President of the company. He would reveal to her about the actual worth of her husband! D*mn, how

could she waver already before seeing that?
