However, the people who are still eating find it more suffocating because of the pressure Huo Dakuan is releasing, suppressing them so they can't raise their head from their plate.
Huo Meiying and Gerard Jackson, who ignored the frowns and hostile gazes the Huo family members were throwing at him, heard Huo Dakuan's question and their hand holding the chopsticks, and spoon and fork, respectively, froze.
