“Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Underworld? Grab them!” someone commanded.
Then, the underworld soldiers took out iron chains and tied Jack and his accomplices up together. The group was suppressed by the Yin Energy of the Ghost World and they could not even struggle.
‘Underworld? Oh no! So, this is the hell that people from The Nine Continents were talking about?’
Jack and the others were in dismay! A few minutes later, they were taken into the hall of the underworld.
The King of the Dead was sitting in the middle of the hall, wearing a black, gold robe and exuded an intimidating aura.
"How did you arrive in the Ghost World?" King of the Dead looked at Jack and asked coldly.
Jack and the others were stunned. They were too scared to speak.
Suddenly, a figure standing next to the King of the Dead faintly shook in shock. It was Chester!
Chester frowned as he looked at Jack and his accomplices. ‘What was going on with the Raksasa Tribe? Did they decide to check it out when they stumbled upon the entrance to the Ghost World?’
Chester remained silent but waited and watched quietly. He was the envoy to the King of the Dead, so he could not speak under such circumstances.
"The King of the Dead asked a question. Are you all mute? How did you get her? Tell the truth!” an underworld soldier yelled at Jack and his group.
‘King of the Dead?’ Jack drew in a sharp breath to process his thoughts.
The next second, Jack tried to calm himself down and replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, this is a misunderstanding. We didn't deliberately break into the Ghost World; it was a mistake.”
Then, Jack explained the situation in detail. Woody and the others next to him nodded in agreement.
Upon learning of the situation, Chester, who seemingly was calm on the surface, felt shocked.
The Raksasa Tribe had an internal conflict.
With that said, the King of the Dead looked at Jack and the others. He changed his mind and said, "However, seeing that you have indeed been wronged, I can give you a chance to go back, but under one condition!"
Jack was overjoyed as he quickly replied, "Your Majesty, please tell us what’s the condition!"
If only they could stay alive, they would be willing to fulfill a hundred conditions.
The corner of King of the Dead's mouth raised into a smile when the group agreed to the condition. “My conditions are very simple. From now on, you must obey my orders and be loyal to me for the rest of your life. You can not betray me!"
He was not loud, but his message got to the hearts of Jack and the others.
Jack, Woody and the others behind him were all stunned as they stood blankly on the spot!
‘They had to swear allegiance to the King of the Dead for their lives?’ they thought.
