Everyone was stupefied, and their hearts thumped with fear.
Boom! It was as though his words rang out like thunder. The liveliness of the celebration was replaced by pin-drop silence in an instant. Everyone was as motionless as statues.
Slap! Crack! Bang! There was a series of sounds from the smashing of glasses and plates on the ground.
It implied how the name “Northern Demon” was sending chills down everyone’s spines. Moreover, he was supposed to be dead. The Four Basilisks were celebrating in advance as they would be coronated as Crown King soon. Yet, Northern Demon is alive and reappeared?
Eastern Hellhound and the other three froze on the spot, so as the Four Basilisks as well as others. They exchanged gazes without uttering any words.
They only came to their senses gradually one minute later. “What? Northern Demon is still alive?”
The man nodded apprehensively as his voice quivered. “Yeah, Northern Demon is still alive! He’s back! It’s terrifying!”
“It’s impossible!” Eastern Hellhound and the other three shrieked simultaneously. “Northern Demon was slain by our disciples at the Ether training base. It’s impossible that he’s still alive! Don’t make up a cock and bull story!”
The Four Basilisks also recollected themselves and fumed, “Stop spreading rumor! If not, we won’t let you off! We had finished him off in front of so many pairs of eyes. How could he still be alive? Watch your mouth!”
Nonetheless, they could not resist but feel a surge of uneasiness that started to well up in them. They seemed all tensed up. What if it’s true? Even though they had witnessed both Northern Demon and another mysterious fighter perish together, their bodies were still nowhere to be seen even after a thorough search.
They presumed that quicksand might have covered their bodies. Apart from that, they could not help but wonder why it was as though the two men’s bodies had vanished into thin air at that time. Even the tiny body of a bird was still traceable during the search, not to mention the bodies of two men! Nonetheless, they claimed that Northern Demon was dead.
“Are you creating a story? It’s impossible for Northern Demon to appear again. There’s a price to pay for making up a story!” a few council members of the Dragonites questioned him with a grim look on their faces.
“I’m telling the truth! The third team of the Wolf squad spotted Northern Demon and fought with him. However, all of them were defeated…” the man explained firmly.
“It’s confirmed that Northern Demon is here in Oakland City at the moment!” he added again.
“What? The Wolf squad bumped into him?” That was indeed something horrifying for the Dragonites.
Northern Demon is even in Oakland City now! What terrifying news!
“Yeah, that was confirmed as the last update from the third team…” Right that instant, the Dragonites were all anxious as if they were cats on a hot tin roof.
On the other hand, the Four Basilisks turned ashen. Is Northern Demon still alive?
Eastern Hellhound and the other three raised their voices. “It’s impossible! Northern Demon was killed by our four disciples. How could he reappear? You must have made a mistake. Don’t ever say that he’s Northern Demon if there isn’t any concrete evidence!”
The council members of the Dragonites looked at the Four Basilisks hesitantly and asked, “Be frank with us. Is Northern Demon still alive?”
Waves of uncertainties arose among the council members. They suddenly recalled how Levi mentioned that Northern Demon was not dead.
“We had really…” Before Western Monk could finish his words, Eastern Hellhound cut him off, “Of course he’s dead! We finished him off ourselves. How could he be alive then?” They would not admit what they had done without any evidence.
