Chapter 312 The Seat Beside the Throne
Jett extended an official invitation to Leones for the role of his second–in–command.
This bold move stirred discontent among others who had shown up, hoping for that very position.
They simmered in their jealousy but acknowledged that they were no match for the man who led Undrago.
The ferocious beast accompanying the Undrago team was terrifying enough, to say nothing of Leones, who had slain Vulture.
They were an unruly crew, rallying behind Jett to reforge the subterranean empire of Fatuma, and they knew that strength reigned supreme.
Leones and his crew might have made a scene, but they had the muscle to back it up.
Taking the second–in–command position seemed fair, and no one dared to object.
“Cheers, Mr. Zimmer! A new titan joins our ranks!”
“Listen, rookie, Mr. Zimmer just anointed you his right–hand man! Show some respect. We’re a family now!”
The lingering gangsters reconvened around Jett.
They suspected that Leone’s had caused a ruckus only to hike up his own worth.
Having landed the coveted position, what else could he possibly want?
“Heh…”
Leones simply laughed.
“Second–in–command, you say?
“And who, pray tell, sits at the throne?”
The room fell silent.
Wasn’t that a rhetorical question?
“It’s self–evident. That would be me,” Jett retorted, visibly irked.
“You dare challenge me for the top seat?”
Jett sneered, unveiling a weapon from his sleeve.
“I am the sovereign of Undrago, Dragon King beneath the Nine Continents. Why would I squabble with you for some parochial title?
“Neither the first nor the second seat appeals to me. Serve under you? A delusional thought.”
Leones‘ words inflamed the crowd.
No one had expected him to be so unappreciative, to think so highly of himself that even the top spot wasn’t good enough for him.
Did he really believe that killing Vulture made him invincible?
“Such audacity from this young one!”
“Absolutely disrespectful!”
“Give him a lesson, Mr. Zimmer! Show him our might!”
Angry stares were fixed on Leones.

Some even saw this as their ticket to power.
Jett scoffed, “Lofty words from a nobody. Undrago’s leader? Dragon King of the Nine Continents? Do you think Undrago still commands the respect it once had?
“Perhaps if your previous Dragon King were around, I’d be more considerate.
“But now, your clan’s fragmented, and you dare to spout such arrogance?
“As an ancient warrior, I wouldn’t dare claim dominion over the Nine Continents. You believe you’re worthy?”
Jett then brandished a gleaming ice dagger.
“Killing Vulture makes you invincible? You dare overlook the venerable houses of Chamber Mountain!
“Let’s clarify one thing. Vulture was nothing but our lapdog in Chamber Mountain, the weakest among us. Any ancient warrior could wipe the floor with him.
“Fine, if you’re so audacious, today you’ll learn the true might of a Chamber Mountain ancient
warrior.”
