Chapter 1501


    This meant that in order to avoid being held in contempt, Malcolm would have to adopt an alias and


    would not be able to continue appearing in public as “Malcolm Langston”.


    As much as his entire family despised Levi, Thierry and the others had notmented, and like The


    Cmity, they were all awaiting instructions from Levi.


    At the Dragonites in Oand City.


    “Where’s Levi? With the defeat of the Northern Demon, the Avengers would surely flee from Erudia.”


    “We’ve been unable to establish contact with him! Does anyone know where he is or what he’s doing?


    It’s as though he had vanished into thin air!”


    “How could Levi pull such a stunt at such a critical juncture? It’s uneptable!”


    “We are far from securing total victory even with that major win we scored against the Northern Demon!


    Allowing the Avengers to retreat would be tantamount to letting a tiger return to itsir!”


    “Huh. The thing is, Levi is holding on to all the information we have on the Avengers. His


    disappearance has left us without options!”


    “Forget it. We should look forward to weing back our heroes first, and deal with Leviter!”


    Meanwhile, two masses of boisterous people were lined up either side of a car-less thoroughfare north


    of Oand City.


    Their eyes were filled with unbridled excitement as various gs and banners emzoned with words


    like “The Nation’s Saviors” and “Heroes of Erudia” pped and soared high above their heads.


    The Dragonites too, were also out in full force for this most historic ceremony of the highest order to


    usher in the return of the Four Basilisks and the Suicide Squad.


    Soon, the convoy rolled in with helicopters hovering above.


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Boom!


    Scores of shots were fired off in tandem in a hundred gun salute to the apaniment of the roars of


    tens of thousands of voices.


    “Heroes!”


    “Heroes!”


    The crowd chanted in unison, moved to tears as Erudia weed back its gant sons with the


    highest des conferrable.


    “What joy! Our disciples have not let us down!” cried the Five Dragons Of Erudia.


    “Thanks be to our four seniors for nurturing these great defenders of Erudia!” said the grateful


    Dragonites, a sentiment echoed also by the masses.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    At this point, the Four Basilisks stepped out of the vehicle and onto the boulevard to receive the


    adtion of the crowd and the reception of the Dragonites.


    The trio of Eastern Beast, Southern Warrior and Medial Soldier puffed out their chests with faces


    brimming with pride for having reached the pinnacle of Erudia like they aspired to, while the Western


    Monk kept his head bowed with increasing unease.


    He understood that this moment belonged to another and had nothing to do with them, and to make


    things worse, they were all deserters who had ughtered so many prisoners of war.


    However, he could only grudgingly go along with it, seeing that there was no going back from this.


    “Wee back, our four conquering heroes!” howled the Dragonites to the rapturous cheers of all


    present.


    Eastern Beast shouted back at the crowd gathered, “We’re nobody. Our fallenrades are the real


    heroes!”


    “We’ve failed them as we weren’t able to lead them back!”


    “What heroes does that make us?”


    Southern Warrior and Medial Soldier chimed in speciously, which prompted Western Monk to lower his


    own head still.


    He could scarcely believe how Eastern Beast had the cheek to say what he did when it was their


    actions which brought about the demise of the entire Suicide Squad.


    The utterances of Eastern Beast and the others nheless greatly impressed the onlookers.


    “Look at our heroes of Erudia. Their exemry capability and character are truly deserving of our


    admiration!”
