MrTop5 was confident that he could avoid any troubles just by changing his account’s password. To his astonishment, Lox claimed that the damage has already been done.

“Dude, I don’t know. Epic’s not gonna be happy with you, or technically me, once I’m done with whatever I’m about to do,” warned Lox.

While talking about a warning message from Epic Games that MrTop5 had received recently, he further added, “You didn’t get that message for like, three days. So, I did it three days before. So, in three days from now, just something’s gonna happen in three days.”
