Chapter 686: The Dust Has Settled. Everyone Has Forgiven the Past!
At that time, King Leighton touched his sword and looked coldly at the two young men in front of him.
"Didn"t you hear what my capable captain of the guards said?"
Leighton questioned loudly, instantly causing the two people below the stage to feel their scalps go numb.
This was especially so for Nair, who had been appointed as the captain of the guards!
Nair had now become the focus of everyone"s attention. Everyone"s gaze contained all sorts of emotions as they continuously looked at the captain of the guards in front of them.
Was he the new captain of the guards?
Everyone was shocked.
Their gazes were filled with doubt and scrutiny as they looked at this young brat in front of them!
The considerations of the various forces in the palace made Captain Nair"s heart sink.
To Captain Nair, these gazes, which were either sincere or malicious, were too naked, causing Nair, who was about to become the captain of the guards, to feel uncomfortable.
However, the most ardent gaze undoubtedly came from his good friend of many years behind him, Vice-Captain Hansen!
That"s right, he was much stronger than Captain Nair. At that time, Vice-Captain Hansen was young and had extraordinary courage.
However, at this critical moment, Vice-Captain Hansen learned that it was not his stronger successor, but his good friend Nair. How could this not make the vice-captain uncomfortable?
Nair could read his pa.s.sionate gaze.
Vice-Captain Hansen was happy because his good friend Nair was about to be promoted. However, Vice-Captain Hansen was also very sad. He was sad that his good friend Nair had taken away the position that should have belonged to him!
The complicated emotions made Vice-Captain Hansen"s gaze become complicated when he stared at Nair. All of this was felt by Nair, who was about to become the captain of the guards.
"What are you standing there for? Quickly accept the gift of the position of captain and thank him for his efforts!"
King Leighton was unhappy when he saw Nair"s dullness.
King Leighton had just heard the weak captain of the guards say that although Nair"s strength was slightly inferior to his rival, Vice-Captain Hansen, but Nair"s EQ was very high. He was a general who could lead an army.
But why was Nair, the captain of the guards, a rather slow person?
Hearing the Captain"s dying declaration, he was actually indifferent and stood in place, not knowing what he was doing.
This person really made people feel a wave of distrust.
King Leighton had a wave of doubt in his heart. Was this really the Nair that the captain of the guards said had a high EQ?
Under the king"s doubtful gaze, the captain of the guards, Nair, felt a wave of melancholy. He knew in his heart that he had to go up and take over the position of captain of the guards.
In the king"s heart, there were already some faint signs of impatience.
At this time, no one dared to refuse to contradict King Leighton.
He was not like Joelson, who was a n.o.ble person. Contrary to Joelson, King Leighton was an absolute tyrant.
Because he wanted to prove that he was more outstanding than his father, the Iron-Blooded King Reynolds, King Leighton"s methods of governance were often abnormally violent. He would simply obey or die.
At that time, no one in the underground city dared to contradict King Leighton.
No one!
That was why, when the vice-captain of the guards, Hansen, protested to Joelson, everyone was sure that Vice-Captain Hansen was dead for sure!
The thoughts of the underground city residents had long been recognized by everyone under the b.l.o.o.d.y rule of the previous king, Leighton.
That was, they could not contradict King Leighton.
All those who dared to contradict King Leighton were basically submissive to King Leighton"s iron-blooded methods.
Under this situation, the captain of the guards, Nair, did not dare to contradict King Leighton.
The captain of the guards silently sighed.
In this underground city, no one dared to contradict King Leighton.
Perhaps the hot-tempered vice-captain of the guards, Hansen, would dare to contradict King Leighton, but that was the vice-captain of the guards, not the captain of the guards, Nair!
Under such great pressure, the captain of the guards had no choice but to thank the former captain of the guards and swear his loyalty to King Leighton.
At that time, everyone was puzzled.
Why was Captain Nair on the stage instead of the stronger Vice-Captain Hansen?
And his good brother, Vice-Captain Hansen, became more and more doubtful of his position as time pa.s.sed.
His good brother"s fervent gaze was an invisible spur to Captain Nair.
Therefore, under this mood, Captain Nair trained even more diligently, with the mentality of wanting to prove that he was suitable for the position of captain, and with the mentality of wanting to prove his own strength, he continued to work hard, after partic.i.p.ating in various activities in the palace during the day, he trained even more at night.
For so many years, this spur had been urging Captain Nair to improve. Under such long-term efforts, he had unknowingly improved to this point.
Captain Nair"s strength had long surpa.s.sed Vice-Captain Hansen!
Under such formidable strength, what was shocking was that the final skill in Captain Nair"s hand, the lightning ball, was already able to easily defeat Vice-Captain Hansen.
Nair slowly put down his hand. The terrifying lightning ball in his hand was gradually dissipating under his will. It did not take long before it disappeared like smoke.
On the stage. The terrifying ball of lightning had disappeared. This made everyone heave a sigh of relief.
If such a powerful ball of lightning was not controlled properly, it would accidentally be thrown off the stage and onto the audience stands. The casualties would not be light!
Other than Joelson, there were not many people who dared to say that they could withstand Captain Nair"s terrifying ball of lightning.
Vice-Captain Hansen saw that the ball of lightning had disappeared and felt a wave of melancholy in his heart.
It had disappeared...
Vice-Captain Hansen lowered his head.
With such a huge difference in strength, he had no chance of winning.
Sir Joelson"s referee was very fair and reasonable.
Vice-Captain Hansen was completely convinced and had completely admitted defeat.
