Just as a group of imps was about to haul the assistant away and throw him into a boiling cauldron, he turned his head at the critical moment. In the distance, he saw Zhao Rong and three beautiful women approaching.
When the assistant saw his rescuers, he broke into a grin. "I told you my team wouldn't abandon me! I said someone would come save me, but you wouldn't believe it…"
Hearing this, the imps holding him erupted in derisive laughter.
"On the brink of death and you're still cracking jokes? This is the underworld, not the world of the living," one sneered. "We don't believe anyone would be badass enough to rush from the land of the living to the underworld to save you. Are they looking to die?"
"Let's just toss this guy into the cauldron already and stop his fantasizing," another added. "How could anyone possibly come save him here? What a ridiculous joke."
