Alex clapped his hands. “You won’t need three days. Just deal with it today! I don’t mean to interfere, Master, but once you’re working in the Underworld, you won’t be as relaxed as you are here!”
“You’ll have to learn how to act according to your boss’ mood and kiss his a*s! You have to know everything, even if your boss doesn’t. Only then will you be a qualified employee!”
“So, if your superior asks for you to finish a task in three days, it actually means it’s got to be done as soon as possible! You’ve got to get the underlying message! If you really wait till the third day, your boss will think that you’re incompetent and bench you.”
Maha frowned, “Are you sure?”
Alex nodded. “Of course! That’s the spirit of serving… Don’t you know? Modern folk have practiced it well! When you have the time, you should learn it, it’ll lead you to success.”
As he spoke, Alex glanced to the other side of the hall that the golden barrier separated. When he saw how crowded it was, Alex almost thought that something was wrong with his eyes.
‘It haven’t been that long, yet so many people have come?’
Alex wouldn’t know that his words had frightened the trialists, especially the last few sentences of that conversation. It simply sounded like a nightmare to them.
From the moment Alex was lost from the others’ sight, things went way out of his expectations. These people were trialists who wanted to go back to the real world through the Pool of Afterlife. Immediately, they dispersed to spread the news and call for help.
When it came to gathering enough trialists, these people had no limits. It was obviously unrealistic to search for help one by one.
Luckily, someone had an ancient Mystical Conch, a communication tool belonging to an ancient family from another galaxy. The person blew into the conch and sent out his message.
In an instant, dozens of disciples received it and they spread the news even further.
“The Pool of Afterlife is at the Corpse King City! There’ll be more news tomorrow.”
“This is your last chance at escape. After today, the Underworld will self-destruct.”
In less than an hour, the possessions of thousands of trialists were in Alex’s hands. Many were furious with Alex’s request, tens of years of hard work were just taken away like that because of him.
On the other hand, some thought that they’d break his hand if they had the chance next time…
Luckily, once they were in the pool, they could rely on their bone patterns and strengthen their bones and powers. That was their main priority as of now.
However… this might all just be wishful thinking.
Seeing as it was almost time, Alex turned to Maha. “Master, do it. Kill them…”
Maha was stunned. “Aren’t you letting them into the pool?”
