Breeding Dragons From Today - Chapter 696

Chapter 696: The Hearts of the People in the Underground City. Is Joelson Going to Become the King?

After seeing how powerful Joelson was, all the officials tactfully cut off their thoughts about reviving the old kings, Leighton and Reynolds.

They were very sure that Joelson’s throne would be the most unshakable of all the kings in history.

They understood in their hearts that Joelson was the true king of the underground city for thousands of years!

Only following Joelson and submitting to him physically and mentally was the correct way to go with the current trend!

They looked at Joelson on the stage with burning eyes. At the same time, they looked at Captain Nair and Vice-Captain Hansen!

The high officials and nobles in the palace knew very well that Captain Nair and Vice-Captain Hansen would be the two people that Joelson valued the most!

The high officials and nobles in the palace were extremely jealous and regretful at the same time.

How could this damned Captain Nair and vice-captain be so lucky to gain Joelson’s favor?

While they were jealous of Captain Nair and Vice-Captain Hansen, they also felt a wave of regret in their hearts!

They really didn’t know what was going on in their minds, why didn’t they go up and curry favor with Joelson right from the start!

Those high-ranking officials in the palace, the nobles thought so regretfully in their hearts.

The more they thought about it, the more uncomfortable they felt in their hearts. It must be known that in the entire underground city, they were once the most favored group of people by the king’s side. They relied on the old king’s favor. They obtained a lot of power and lived a life of superiority in the underground city. This made them, who were used to the life of superiority in the underground city, feel a wave of frustration in their hearts.

If they had been the first to offer their loyalty to Joelson, then the entire incident would have been different.

If at that time, they could put down their so-called noble status, put down their face, and be the first to offer their loyalty to Joelson, then in the entire underground city, the captain of the guards, Nair, and the vice-captain of the guards, Hansen, standing on the stage would be someone else!

Perhaps it would be him!

If only he could become one of the people that Joelson favored!

These high-ranking officials and nobles in the palace, the people who used to be on top of them, were all filled with regret at this moment.

They were all filled with regret in their hearts. They were thinking about their actions just now, thinking if they did what they did, would they be able to gain Joelson’s appreciation, they would be able to obtain their former status in the future palace group.

Perhaps, if they fawned over Joelson, they would be able to obtain even higher achievements and rewards than when they were in the palace!

This made them gulp. Just the thought of Joelson appreciating them was enough to make them drool.

But they all knew.

In the past, when they were high-ranking officials in the palace, the nobles understood it very well.

Those were all hypotheticals. If they missed it, they would miss it. There was no room for redemption.

If they did not put down their pride at the first moment and put down their status to curry favor with Joelson, that meant they did not curry favor with him.

Just relying on regret would not change anything.

Their hearts were filled with regret. They pounded their heads in pain, thinking how good it would have been if they had been able to see the situation clearly earlier!

At that time, many of them thought that they could restore the rule of the old kings, Leighton and Reynolds.

Now, it seemed like such a ridiculous idea.

There were also some people who thought that they were smart and thought that without the support of the people, they could not rule the underground city. With such a foolish idea, they directly missed the best opportunity to get promoted and get rich.

This made them feel even more regretful.

After all, this might be the easiest time to get promoted in this world!

As long as they fawned over Joelson as quickly as possible, they might be able to keep their positions. If they spoke nicely, they might even get promoted and get rich!

If they had taken a step forward at that time, they would have woken up a little earlier. They would not have ended up like this.

They felt a wave of pain in their hearts.

Everyone who realized this was beating their chests and stomping their feet. They felt a wave of regret in their hearts.

However, these people’s thoughts were actually wrong.

Joelson was not someone who could be dismissed with a few good words. Doing so would at most leave a good impression on him.

If he was not like Captain Nair and Vice-Captain Hansen, who had talent and potential, Joelson would not even glance at them!

He would not accept those who had no talent and potential!

If he wanted to offer his loyalty to him, it would be useless if he only knew how to flatter and speak well of them.

To him, if he only had loyalty but did not have the ability, he would not spare a glance at him.

He had a balance in his heart. Those who did not meet the standards, no matter how good their flattery was or how high their EQ was, would not be appreciated by him!

Only those who had both virtue and ability were qualified talents!

In other words, even if the nobles in the palace had the ability to predict the future, it was useless for them to be the first to come forward and offer their loyalty.

Without talent, they would never be looked at by Joelson.

The captain of the guards, Nair, was indeed the first to offer his loyalty.

However, if Nair could not command the entire army and suppress Vice-Captain Hansen’s resistance, then Joelson would not give him the chance to kneel beside him.

As for Vice-Captain Hansen, in regards to his rebuttal, Joelson could only tolerate it because Vice-Captain Hansen was a talented person, and he could understand the confusion and doubt in the other party’s heart.

Standing calmly on the stage, looking at the people calling out to him and the cheers of the people below, he was very calm. There was no change in his expression.

Kneeling on the ground, the vice-captain of the guards, Hansen, revealed a smile on his lips. He had long had a premonition in his heart when he made such a decision!

He was very clear that Joelson was not a person who would bully the weak just because he thought he was strong!

The vice-captain of the guards, Hansen, believed in the way he looked at people. He did not doubt it at all.

While the vice-captain of the guards, Hansen, was laughing secretly, Joelson slowly looked at the vice-captain of the guards, Hansen.
