Chapter 151 - 150 Volcano Eruption
Leon is not particularly interested in Gold Coin; he has his sights set on the entirety of Watchtower Port, which he regards as inevitably his.
He doesn’t demand that Watchtower Port cough up the cash at present, but instead forcibly insists that Watchtower Port must announce his presence—he is the protective deity of Watchtower Port, to be hailed and never slandered.
The reputation of the Red Dragon is truly atrocious, notorious to the point that if he were to abruptly declare rulership over Watchtower Port, the residents would definitely flee, with eight or nine out of ten preferring to escape into the forests rather than staying. Beyond that, no caravans or merchants’ ships would come and go from Watchtower Port.
However, if he were to make his appearance as the protection deity of Watchtower Port and peacefully defend it for a few months to half a year, and once everyone is accustomed to him and understands that even the Red Dragon can be reasonable, then finding the opportunity to seamlessly take over the rule of Watchtower Port would likely elicit no objections or concerns.
"I’ll be leaving. See you in three days. I hope you are ready by then—with the money or the Dragon Slayers," said Leon without lingering in the meeting hall, dropping the statement before walking out.
Having spent so many days coming to this place and staying at the Volcanic Island every day, he had just "eliminated" a wave of adventurers and even outmaneuvered them. No one would venture into the Volcanic Island for the time being to interfere with the Efreeti awakening the volcano, so Leon planned to thoroughly enjoy a few days at Watchtower Port.
He was already wealthy, and it was foreseeable that a substantial amount of money would be coming his way soon, so he wasn’t afraid to spend.
No sooner had Leon left with one foot than the meeting hall erupted into chaos.
"Miss Fiora, may I ask what on earth is going on? Why have you brought such a terrifying creature before us?" the Mayor asked, submissive before Leon, for he knew Leon would not show restraint and could genuinely resort to killing, unlike Fiora.
"We lost; we are no match for him," Fiora replied. "We couldn’t even last one round."
"That doesn’t mean you should bring him right to us," the Mayor said.
