Anthony's advice was very to the point.
Dean McKenzie was very tempted!
But Dean McKenzie was still somewhat hesitant. After all, he couldn't just follow Anthony's advice without questioning. It would make him seem too easily swayed!
Dean McKenzie felt that he should at least refuse once or twice.
What's that called?
It's called being socially savvy!
But Anthony retorted: "To hell with being socially savvy! Let me tell you, you should leave as soon as possible. If it becomes known that you passed the first-turn nightmare mode trial, you won't be able to leave even if you want to in a short span of time.
You'll find yourself in a heap of trouble, mark my words!"
Pausing, Anthony slapped Dean on the shoulder and ominously said, "Kid, you surely don't want to be invited to the lab for a tea and quiz about how you activated the first-turn nightmare mode, do you?"
Although Dean knew that Anthony was merely scaring him, he had to admit that he was genuinely frightened.
