Tell me. Where'd you learn to make something so corrupt and criminal sound so all round beneficial?
Oh, I had good teachers---the best, in fact.

Synopsis for "Heroes' Welcome!"
The World Development Council and National Union of Retired Sports Experts (N.U.R.S.E.) dispatch Dragon's Claws to liberate Channel City on the South Coast of England from the mysterious High Father and his army of ex-Game teams who keep the local population hostage. However, Dragon's Claws are surprised to see people hostile to their mission. Overcoming the resistance of several teams, including the Split Infinity and Vanishing Ladies, they enter the city, where the High Father has amassed stolen livestock, and confront him. When the High Father is revealed to be a supposedly dead former N.U.R.S.E. employee Starick, N.U.R.S.E. executive Silas Stenson is so distressed by this news that he orders the public broadcast of the event terminated immediately.
While reprimanding Deller, who was wounded by Slaughterhouse in the 'Pool[1] and had to stay behind, Stenson reveals that it was N.U.R.S.E lobbying the World Development Council to reactivate Dragon's Claws, and not the other way around.
Wildcats' lair
After the fight on Dragon's farm[2] Saul helped Tanya Dragon take her son Michael to her parents' farm. She still tries to come to grips with Dragon's decision to reactivate his team and is not yet ready to reach out to him, despite Saul's advocacy.
The body of Tiger, who was killed by Dragon during his fight with the Wildcats,[2] is visited in the morgue by Tiger's brother Kurran, who embarks on a quest to revenge his brother's death. Kurran learns that it was Deller who hired the Wildcats to hassle Dragon.
