A mischievous grin spread across Xiaomara's face. "Just doing my part to spread the word of the God-King, as it were."
Alex chuckled nervously. He glanced down at his user interface, a hidden feature only he could see.

[Believers: 850]

[Judgement Analysis], [Blessing]
He frowned at the believer count. It didn't quite match his expectations.
"Wow i 850 believers now."
The room fell silent. Everyone stared at Alex, mouths agape.
"How… how do you know the exact number?" Xiaomara stammered, eyes wide with surprise.
Alex squirmed under their scrutiny. "W-well, it's just a feeling," he mumbled unconvincingly.
Frey, ever the loyal follower, beamed. "Of course, Master Alex! I'm one of your believers, too!"
Alex offered her a grateful smile. "Thanks, Frey. That means a lot." He then turned to Li Yunhua, who was meticulously picking sprinkles off her cake.
