The Rise of Dragon Temple

Chapter 48

At ten o’clock in the morning, Joseph and Alpha I arrived at Gempoint Group’s entrance. Then, Joseph

entered the lobby with Alpha 1 following behind. On their way, they saw Lily–who dressed scantily-

holding Rory’s arm and talking to him excitedly. At that time, Lily and Rory were opposite them, heading

toward the main entrance. “Thank you very much, hubby. Otherwise, Paige would suppress me all the Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

time. Seriously, I have no idea why is that silly woman so lucky these days. Grandpa even appointed

her as the channel director and demoted me just a few days after she returned. After having this

contract you got for me, I’m sure she will have nothing to win against me. And even if she gets

Mysticorps Group’s contract, she will still be a level lower than me..” as Lily spoke, she kissed Rory’s

cheek. Feeling satisfied, Rory nodded. “Of course. My family has been supplying Gempoint Group for

many years, after all.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) I’m sure you saw the news

last night. The mysterious and overbearing president will hold his grand wedding in three days.

Because of this, the executives of Gempoint Group and Mysticorps Group are now hustling. What’s

more, they hadn’t rested since last night. So, even if Paige wants to go to Mysticorps Group, I’m afraid

no one will entertain her, let alone letting her entering the building…”. In agreement, Lily nodded. “Pfft! I

know! Indeed, you’re still the best. By the way, what about our wedding? Since the grand wedding is

held ahead of schedule, do you think we can get a spot?” Upon hearing that, Rory frowned and

responded, “Well, actually, I’m unprepared for this. But fret not, I’ve applied on their official website.

And because the wedding will be held in our city, there will be more spots here. So, we should be able

to get one. I really want to participate in this. This is a grand occasion that costs billions, after all…” Lily

nodded and responded, “Well, me too. I promise you, if you can grab a place, you can do whatever you

want to me for a few days. I will obey you…(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)” As

she spoke, her face turned crimson, which evoked Rory’s desire, and he fiercely eyeballed her slender

legs. Just then, at the sight of Joseph, he immediately narrowed his eyes. Because of Lily, he had no

good impression of Joseph. Therefore, he pulled Lily and blocked Joseph. “What are you doing here,

Joseph Dawson? Oh, are you here to help Paige secure the cooperation with Gempoint Group? Haha,

I’m afraid you’re going to be disappointed…” After halting his footsteps, Joseph stared at Rory and

sneered, “Oh? Do you mean you have gotten the contract?”

Rory scoffed and signaled Lily with his eyes. With that, Lily took out two contracts with Gempoint

Group’s official seal from her bag and waved them in front of Joseph. “Haha, you didn’t expect this, did

you? I’ve secured the cooperation between Aceshine Group and Gempoint Group. So, no matter how

you plan to help Paige, you will never get it. Besides, everyone here is preparing for the grand

wedding. Did you see hundreds of security guards at the door? Haha, you won’t be able to get in…”

With disdain in his eyes, Joseph stared at the stuck-up Lily before looking at Rory and questioned, “Are

you the one who got it for her?” Instantly, Rory bragged, “Of course. Even if you have some money, so

what? Haha! This is Oplen. My family has cooperated with them for many years. So, do you think an

outsider like you can compete with us?” Hearing this, Joseph nodded in agreement and derided,

“You’re right, but I think having such a domineering fiancee may spell doom to your family. Who knows?

Your family might go bankrupt today…” “Excuse me, are you cursing me? Who the heck do you think

you are? Do you think you own Gempoint Group? And why should my family goes bankrupt because of

your words?” Rory immediately flared up. At this time, before Joseph spoke, Alpha 1 reached out,

pushed Rory aside, and scoffed, “Sorry to say this, but Mr. Dawson really owns Gempoint Group…”

After Alpha 1 finished, Joseph ignored Rory and Lily before he walked toward Gempoint Group. Rory

wanted to attack Alpha 1, but Lily stopped him. Looking at Joseph’s retreating figure, she smirked and

mocked, “Chill, hubby. Gempoint Group has heightened its security, and no one is allowed to enter. So,

I’m sure Joseph won’t make it in. Those security guards will kick him out and…” Nevertheless, before

Lily could finish her words, all the guards outside bowed to Joseph. Following that, eight guards at the

door opened the door respectfully for Joseph and Alpha 1 to walk in. “This is impossible! Didn’t they

prohibit outsiders from entering? How could he get in?” Lily was bewildered when she saw the security

guards taking the initiative to open the door for Joseph. So was Rory. His mouth was wide open. In

fact, both of them were brainless as they only saw Joseph went in. What they did not notice was the

fear in the security guards’ eyes when they saw Joseph! Yes, fear. Extreme fear. Sure enough, they

didn’t know Joseph, but they had met Alpha 1. These days, Alpha I often visited Gempoint Group.

Every time he went in and out, Dennis would follow him respectfully. So did Ernie sometimes. Although

these security guards had relatively low positions, they had their information sources. They were clear

that behind Mr. Alpha 1, there was another terrifying existence that horrified the entire Oplen! Moreover,

according to their

source, that terrifying existence’s words were the cause behind the stir in Oplen last night and the

change of the grand wedding’s date! In addition, seeing how Alpha I was following behind Joseph, they

could easily figure out Joseph’s identity. Therefore, they were so nervous that their legs went weak,

and they didn’t dare to say a word. The next moment, Lily and Rory ran to these security guards and

asked with great confusion, “Didn’t you say that outsiders are not allowed to enter? Why could they

enter? Huh?” As if he were looking at a fool, the head of the security team stared at Rory and Lily.

“Who are you to question that? Both of you are from the Sheltons and the

want to question me with such a tone? Or, are you implying that I don’t know how to do my job? Huh?”

Because this security head also resigned from the military, he had a threatening aura. Upon feeling his

aura, Rory and Lily blanched. They slightly opened their mouths but dared not to say a word.(This

novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com) After all, the man in front of them was the head of

Gempoint Group’s security team—who was also an executive-level figure. Even the Sheltons and the

Mooneys didn’t dare to provoke him, not to mention Lily and Rory. Although their position was relatively

low, no one had the guts to offend them. Seeing that Lily and Rory dared not speak, the security head

snorted and bellowed, “Piss off!”

In the president’s office on the top floor, Joseph was sitting in Dennis’ chair, while Alpha I was standing

straight behind him. Standing in front of Joseph were Dennis and Ernie, who were respectful and

nervous. Staring at Dennis and Ernie—who had heavy dark eye circles-Joseph said, “Thanks for your

hard work. I know my decision about the wedding was sudden, but I don’t want to wait any longer. For

the next two days, I will have to trouble you two. I hope the wedding will be a perfect one…” After

hearing his words, Dennis and Ernie—who were originally wan immediately became energized.

Trembling with agitation, they answered respectfully, “No problem, sir. It’s not sudden at all. Please be

rest assured. We will do our best and made this wedding a flourishing one!”

To that, Joseph nodded. “Great. Remember I promised both of you a chance after you two settle this

matter? Now, I will give it to you two in advance. After the wedding, I might have to stay in Oplen for a

few more days. During that time, you two should immediately transfer all your elite forces to Usmait.”

When Dennis and Ernie heard this, their eyes lit up. They had long been

dissatisfied with being local tyrants in such a small town. Besides, they always wanted to extend their

power to Usmait. However, Usmait was the biggest economic city in Frogua. As there were numerous

skillful, ambitious, and powerful people, it was hard for them to land a foothold even if they wanted to.

Now that Joseph wanted them to go, this would be a great opportunity for them. After all, which man

didn’t have the ambition to dominate the world? Despite being successful in Oplen; they couldn’t wait to

take another step further… With excitement, Dennis asked, “Sir, do you mean you are going to Usmait

after this?” Joseph nodded. “Yes, I’m going to meet some people to solve some grievances and

troubles. Otherwise, I won’t be content…” As he spoke, the scene of his best friend betraying him

appeared in his mind. Six years ago, he was originally at the peak of his life. Not only could he make a

name for himself in Usmait without the support of his family in Vowhye, but he was also a well-known

genius in the business industry. To him, being the future top leader of the business industry was only a

piece of cake. However, when his career was soaring with success, his best friend backstabbed him.

With that, years of his painstaking efforts were gone. Moreover, he almost lost his life to his best friend.

If he hadn’t escaped to Oplen with his serious injury,(This novel will be daily updtaed at

www.noveljar.com) if Paige hadn’t saved him, he would have died long ago… That was because, never

for once, he doubted his best friend. Now, nearly six years had passed, that best friend of his had

become the top figure in Usmait’s business industry. The real formidable man! However, now that he

had returned, he would return what he suffered six years ago to that traitor over and over again! In fact,

he was also doing this for Paige and Chloe. If that traitor hadn’t poisoned him, which caused him to

lose his consciousness from time to time, he wouldn’t have impregnated Paige that night. Paige and

Chloe also wouldn’t have suffered for the past few years too… While several thoughts flashed in

Joseph’s mind, he emanated a monstrous intent. At once, Dennis and Ernie’s clothes were drenched

with cold sweat. Fortunately, Joseph soon recovered and quickly withdrew his murderous intent. Then,

he uttered, “Oh, by the way, Dennis, Paige’s grandfather wants to collaborate with Gempoint Group. On

my way up just now, I heard a guy named Rory contacted one of your managers to help his fiancee get

the contract. Please settle this for me…”

After saying that, he turned to Ernie and instructed, “Well, you should also make some arrangements.

The third task Leonard gave Paige was to solve a problem that the Mooneys couldn’t solve these

years. Send someone to investigate his problems and solve all of them. One last thing, don’t forget the

old rules. Do everything in Paige’s name…” Hearing that, Alpha 1 frowned. “Mr. Dawson, the Mooneys

are pretentious, Leonard isn’t a good man either. Do we really have to go to such lengths to help him?

Mrs. Dawson will be leaving with you soon anyway…” Joseph chuckled indifferently and explained, “It

doesn’t matter. First, I’m not doing this to help Aceshine Group and Leonard, but to save face for Paige.

Secondly, since I can make them rich for their whole lives, naturally, I can take them back at any time.

Hehe…” He smiled meaningfully. As for what ending the Mooneys would have, it depended on their

own choice. They could choose to soar into the sky or die. Anyhow, he had given them a chance, and it

was more than once… Meanwhile, in Aceshine Group’s meeting room, Leonard hung up Lily’s call and

puckered his brows deeply. That was because Lily told him that she had gotten the collaboration

agreement from Gempoint Group… Of course, Leonard’s intention to ask Lily and Paige to negotiate

cooperation with Gempoint Group and Mysticorps Group was only to test Joseph. “Isn’t it Joseph who

helped Paige? Or could it be that his strength is below the Shelton family’s level? Or could it be that my

conjecture is wrong…” Leonard’s frown deepened. After contemplating for a while, he picked up his

phone and called Paige, “Paige, come with Joseph this afternoon. We shall have a meal together…” At

that moment, he planned to meet Joseph in person…
