"We are now electing the leader of the 'Absolution Knights'... Any self-nominations?"
Zheng Qing pounded on the table and shouted.
Xin Fat Man, who had been wrestling with the Orange Cat, finally quieted down.
"I forfeit!" The fat man gripped the cat's foreleg tightly, trying his best to stay away from its open claws. He gasped and shouted, "I forfeit... The chief editor said that I have to go on fieldwork starting next week... You guys probably won't be able to find me most of the time... You damn cat, let go of my hand!!"
During his speech, the Orange Cat shrank its body and slipped through his fingers, landing on the desk, and with a leap, it jumped on his head, launching a fierce attack with its claws.
Zheng Qing shrugged, ignoring the wailing Fat Man, and turned his gaze to the Blue Bird next to him.
"I forfeit." Blue Bird indifferently refused, seemingly not even moving his lips.
Zheng Qing cocked his head, showing understanding.
