Everyone looked where Yu Hua was pointing and saw that next to the oval table, at the base of the living room wall, was a strip of acupressure mat. Zhen Li and Yuan Luori barely hesitated. The reflexively executed sliding kneels towards the acupressure mat. This was the move they practiced most during the livestreams. Their postures was perfect, their movements skilled.

But even faster than them was the husky with speed powers. It took one leap and flew over their heads, rushing to land first on the acupressure mat. Owing to the limitations of its body, Director Ha simply lay down on the acupressure mat to display that it was prostrating itself.

The acupressure mat wasn't big to start with. With the husky occupying more than half of it, Zhen Li and Yuan Luori couldn't occupy the high ground. They both looked vexed. Luckily, the parrot made a good showing on Yuan Luori's behalf. The parrot stepped onto the husky's head to indicate that it was there, too. The Protectors sitting at the oval table looked at Zhen Li and Yuan Luori's expressions. How could they still not know that they had been aware of the situation? They instantly had a feeling of being betrayed.

"You two..." Lian Yufan pointed at the two people kneeling precisely on the acupressure mat. He thought, he was the person who had recommended Zhen Li to join the Protectors, but the candid and simple Zhen Li turned out to be the biggest liar!

"Zhen Li, do you still remember what I said the first time I met you?" Yu Hua said to the kneeling people.

"I don't dare to forget a word. Which one do you mean?" Zhen Li asked.

"I said that I don't have that sort of feudal hobby," Yu Hua said loftily.

Zhen Li and Yuan Luori totteringly stood up. Director Ha also slowly climbed to its feet and crouched silently to one side, presenting itself as a law-abiding husky.

"But I don't know whether the Protectors have any hobbies of that nature. Right?" Yu Hua said.

Zhen Li and Yuan Luori: "..."

The two of them leaned against each other and looked timidly at Director Xiao and the other Protectors. Zhen Li's expression was woebegone. He quietly said, "How about you eat sitting down, and we eat kneeling, and Director Ha uses a dog bowl."

"Enough, get up," Director Xiao said. "Such a strong power—all it would take was mental control so you two couldn't say a word. There was nothing you could do. Anyway, one of you is a full Protector, and the other is a Protector in his trial period. With that capacity, even if you die, you still have to die standing up. Kneeling is an embarrassment!"

"Yes, sir!" Zhen Li stood up happily and politely said to Director Xiao, "I pledge to defend the dignity of the Protectors with my life!"

Thereupon he got up, sat down beside Cen Xiao, and took a bowl and chopsticks for himself. Cen Xiao: "..."

He looked closely at Zhen Li's beautiful, stupid face and no matter what couldn't imagine that this kind and honest harmless face had been lying to them all along. Yuan Luori and Director Ha also totteringly stood up. Yuan Luori sat next to Zhen Li, while Director Ha smartly crouched at Lian Yufan's feet. After all, Lian Yufan had been the one to train it at the beginning.

Lian Yufan stroked the dog's head. He was pleased to see Director Ha come to him. He thought that the dog was the only honest one of all the studio's members. A dog really was a man's best friend, and petting an animal's fur really could contribute to stress relief.

Seeing Lian Yufan slowly petting its head, Director Ha comfortably narrowed its eyes. Yu Hua gave a cold laugh. "Let me make an introduction. This Director Ha is Destroyer 192. The last time it switched bodies it accidentally ended up in a dog's body."
