I'm a novice with the language and I've been reading some Asterix to practice my understanding of it, I usually go back and forth between the English and French version to make sure I got things right, along with checking a dictionary.
From this panel I understand that Numérobis' rival (Amonbofis) either likes that Numérobis got chosen in his place so that his career may end with him being eaten by a crocodile or that he resents him for being chosen in his place and would be pleased if his career ended with him being eaten by a crocodile, what throws me off is the "Veut", could you please help me understand it a bit more?
