She's just bluffing. He has seen many girls like this. Every time they feel guilty, they will straighten their backs and raise their voices just to hide their inner anxiety.
Thinking of this, the anger of being disobeyed was reduced. Caesar felt that he should not argue with a little girl. He took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
"Let me ask you, what did you do? Why did you act on your own?"
Genjitsu was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned away. Her expression of ignoring him as if he were air was even more maddening. Caesar strode forward and grabbed her wrist with a rare expression of anger.
His blue eyes seemed to be spitting fire, and Caesar spoke word by word: "I'm asking you a question!"
Yuan Zhinv frowned slightly. The grass on the grave of the last person who dared to speak to her like that was probably three meters high now. Her slender fingers curled up slightly, and she wanted to draw her sword almost reflexively.
But unfortunately, I didn’t bring the knife.
Feeling a little regretful, Yuan Zhinv was considering whether to knock this annoying guy down with a punch or kick him away, when suddenly noisy footsteps were heard in the distance.
Mans, with messy hair, was wearing a bathrobe, followed by countless staff members who had just woken up and rushed over here. Everyone had a very interesting look on their face.
"What have you done!" Mans roared in a low voice: "Oh my God, my God, what have you done!"
He looked at the still surging river, his face distorted with excitement: "Why make such a big noise? What if Norton wakes up?! Who allowed you to act without permission!"
He looked like he was going crazy, and he stumbled over as if he was going to eat Genji and Caesar alive.
The scene was so big that Caesar was startled. He subconsciously swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue. As a result, the girl who had been ignoring him came closer to him.
"Team leader." Yuan Zhinv called him, "Do you still remember that you are the team leader?"
Caesar looked at her in confusion, and suddenly had a very bad feeling in his heart.
Sure enough, the next second he saw the girl break free from his hand and walk towards Mance.
"Professor, the mission was successfully accomplished." Genjitsu still had that expressionless look on her face, and she reported calmly as if she was a general who had just returned victorious.
Mance was completely confused by this and subconsciously asked, "What mission?"
Yuan Zhinv showed a puzzled look in her eyes: "It means using bombs to blow up the rock layer. Didn't we talk about that in the previous meeting?"
Mance was going crazy: "But I refused! I told you that the bombs were not enough to blow up 40 meters of rock! The noise might even wake up Norton! Who allowed you to act on your own?!"
Genji: "The mission was approved by the team leader. I just followed his orders."
Caesar: “?”
Caesar was caught off guard, his blue eyes full of surprise, but before he could react, Mance's murderous eyes had already glared at him.
"Caesar Gattuso, you'd better give me a reasonable explanation, otherwise I will report it to the principal!"
Caesar: "...No, Professor, I don't know about this."
"Then why are you here?" Mance interrupted him directly. He looked up and down at Caesar who was soaking wet, and gritted his teeth: "And I saw you two come out of the water together!"
Caesar looked somewhat helpless: "I found out that Fengjian Liuli secretly left in the middle of the night, so I chased her out to find her. When I got into the water, she had already detonated the bomb."
"Still quibbling!" Mans roared, "Even if you didn't know, as a team leader you are unable to control your team members, which is a serious dereliction of duty! Write a self-criticism, write it immediately! I will report it to the principal now!"
The professor was obviously very angry and his emotions were extremely unstable. As he spoke, he actually took out his mobile phone and directly connected to Angers.
Caesar had a complicated expression. He looked down at the girl beside him, but the girl just blinked at him innocently.
She looked at him innocently and called him, "Team Leader?"
Caesar:"……"
If there is something wrong, the team leader will take the blame. If there is nothing wrong, who are you?
Caesar couldn't help but feel a little dazed, and suddenly seemed to understand something, such as why the girl had so easily agreed to let him be the team leader.
Unfortunately, he didn't have the chance to think about it carefully. He and Yuan Zhinv were taken back to the base under the watchful eyes of a group of people and put under strict surveillance.
Yuan Zhinu was in a very calm mood and was ready to wait until she saw Mans again before suggesting going into the water again. After all, she had not seen the explosion site and did not know the specific situation.
After the underwater explosion, she clearly felt that something had awakened and something had come out of Baidi City. It seemed that a small earthquake had been triggered, but she didn't know how much of the 40-meter-thick rock layer had been opened.
If it wasn't opened thoroughly enough, she planned to persuade Mans to make it happen in one go. After all, they had already made such a big fuss, so she wouldn't mind making a little more noise.
But she waited and waited, and Professor Mance still didn't show up. Just when she started to suspect that Mance might have gone directly back to the United States to meet Angers, she finally received the news.
Professor Mans was taken away by the police shortly after the explosion.
The charge appears to be terrorism.

Chapter 96 If You Don't Listen, I'll Kill You
It was two days later when Genjiro was released.
When she walked out of the room, she saw the white-haired old man standing in front of the window.
Ange was still wearing his meticulous black suit, with a red rose bud pinned to his chest, his gray hair combed neatly, and two glasses of red wine in his hands.
It was so solemn that it looked like they were attending a funeral.
Yuan Zhinv walked forward, and Angé heard the noise but did not turn back, but just handed her a glass of wine.
Yuan Zhinv took it and stood by the window: "Principal, why are you here?"
Outside the window, you can see the rippling river surface in the distance. After two days of sedimentation, the chaotic water flow caused by the explosion has subsided, and the Yangtze River seems to have returned to calm.
"I didn't want to come either, but Mance was taken away for investigation."
Angers showed a somewhat helpless expression: "The military believes that Mance deliberately sneaked into the Yangtze River to sabotage it. I am still looking for someone to bail him out and try to explain that this is just a misunderstanding."
"But the crime is so serious that Professor Mance may not be able to get out for a while."
He paused here and looked at the expressionless girl beside him: "Girl, aren't you going to give me an explanation?"
Yuan Zhinu took a sip of wine and said calmly: "It was all Caesar's idea. He is the team leader and I can only listen to him."
Ange scratched his head: "...Isn't this reason a little far-fetched?"
Yuan Zhinu: "It's not far-fetched. A higher-ranking official can crush people to death. Not to mention that I am so well-behaved and obedient that I can only succumb to his tyranny. Please, principal, you must punish him."
Ange's expression suddenly became even more helpless. He had no way to deal with the girl next to him, and he couldn't understand what she was trying to do.
He had no choice but to change the subject.
"I sent people to investigate. The underwater explosion caused a small earthquake. The 40-meter-thick rock layer cracked, and a passage appeared underground. The end of the passage should be Baidi City."
"If we delay, something bad will happen. The Kuimen plan will be launched ahead of schedule. Are you ready?"
Yuan Zhinv smiled slightly: "Of course, I can dive anytime."
"Then tomorrow." Ange drank the wine in the glass and looked at the scenery outside the window with a far-reaching gaze: "I heard that tomorrow will be a good day."
Due to time constraints, the Moniah had not yet been modified, and it had already attracted the attention of the police, so the previous survey ship was still used for this dive.
"You have enough oxygen for three hours. No matter how the mission is completed within three hours, you must come back."
"As for the logistics, you don't need to worry too much. I will personally take care of it for you." On the deck, Angers looked at the two people in front of him with a smile: "Don't worry about it."
Gen Chinushi and Caesar put on their diving suits again, carrying new oxygen bottles on their backs. They nodded when they heard this and opened their hands to let the staff check their equipment.
Until the staff made an OK sign, he nodded and said, "Go, kids."
"I'll wait for your safe return."
Caesar and Genjitsu jumped into the water together.
Although it was only the second time they cooperated in the underwater operation, the two of them had a tacit understanding and came to the previously marked location with ease. At this time, the rocks on the ground were like cracked earth, with cracks spreading one after another.
In the middle, there is a huge crack that goes straight to the depths of the ground, and it looks bottomless like an abyss.
The two men jumped into the abyss, as if they were swallowed by a ferocious giant mouth.
They were not the kind of people who would procrastinate. They moved very quickly and dived very quickly, reaching a depth of 40 meters in the blink of an eye.
A huge bronze wall stopped them. Caesar stretched out his hand and touched the surface of the wall. Large pieces of rust were peeled off, revealing a brand new metal surface with a blue-black luster like oil.
"Ancient Bronze City." Caesar murmured, "This legendary thing actually exists?"
"That is the bedroom of Dragon King Norton." Ange's voice sounded from the headset: "You are approaching that great being."
"But how do you open this thing?" Caesar wondered.
After the patina peeled off, the pattern on the wall became clear: a raised human face with a burning log in its mouth.
It was a truly bizarre picture, with the face twisted in agony, yet the creature refused to loosen its teeth which were clenching the firewood.
"Liuli." Angé said, "I may need some of your blood. I told you in advance. Are you ready?"
"I understand." Yuan Zhinv answered calmly, and then, under Caesar's shocked gaze, she took out a small bottle from her arms and smashed it directly on the mouth of the strange human face.
The red blood floated in the water, but before it could be carried away by the current, it was strangely sucked into the man's mouth.
After the bronze face absorbed the blood, it was silent for a moment and slowly opened its mouth as if it was yawning.
A terrible sound of metal heating and breaking came from deep within the bronze wall. A pitch-black hole with a diameter of about one meter appeared on the bronze wall. Above and below it were the teeth of the bronze human face. Those were definitely not human teeth. Each one was as sharp as a dagger.
"This is the entrance, a great achievement of alchemy, using living spirits as door locks. Only highly pure dragon blood can temporarily satisfy him, but the living spirits will close the door. Next time, he will continue to use Liuli's blood to open the door."
Caesar raised his eyebrows in surprise: "My blood is not okay?"
Ange was stunned and embarrassed: "This... unfortunately, only S-level bloodlines can be used at present."
Caesar shrugged his shoulders to show his disdain.
"Remember, you only have enough oxygen for three hours. Dragon King Norton has not yet awakened. The goal is to find his eggs, but if you can't, just destroy them."
"I asked you to carry the alchemical equipment given by the Equipment Department. It can directly destroy the eggs. You must stay 50 meters away before detonation."
"Good luck to you, classmates." Angers hung up the call.
Caesar and Yuan Zhinv walked into the passage. In the spotlight beams, rippling waves were cast on each of the incredible round bronze objects.
It is surrounded by a circle of sharp wolf-fang-like structures. The first sight reminds people that if it is thrown out, it will whistle in a strange arc, bite the enemy's neck and spin.
As the exploration deepened, the second metal disc appeared, followed by the third, the fourth... countless metal discs covered a giant bronze wall tens of meters high, with the bronze teeth biting into each other.
"It's like a watch movement." Caesar looked at the incredible scene in front of him and exclaimed from the bottom of his heart: "What an incredible craftsmanship. Dragon King Norton is simply a mechanic."
But compared to his fuss, Yuan Zhinv was very calm. She didn't even look at these stunning designs, and her eyes were always wandering around.
She released a lot of snakes, and now all those little things were swimming around a certain location. Yuan Zhinv could clearly feel what those snakes were afraid of.
And you don’t have to think about what it is that can scare snakes here.
Reaching out and touching the black box behind her, Yuan Zhinu turned to look at Caesar: "You take pictures and samples here. My snake has found something. I will go to find the snake. If you encounter anything, just evacuate directly. No need for rescue."
Caesar frowned: "Girl, it seems that I am the team leader?"
"Then do you know the location of the snake, team leader?" Gen Chinu asked back.
Caesar had no choice but to remain silent. Yuan Zhinv did not waste any words and ordered again: "Evacuate immediately if you feel anything unusual. No matter what happens, don't worry about it, just leave."
Although he was somewhat dissatisfied with being ordered, Caesar still nodded with a sour face. He knew that now was not the time to be upset, so he could only accept it with a pinch of his nose.
Yuan Zhinv found his expression quite funny, so she laughed out loud: "Be obedient."
"Be good, I'll make sure you're okay."
The girl looked completely different after she smiled. Her delicate look that originally had a strong aggressiveness softened, and the frightening coldness also dissipated a little, just like when she first entered the school for the live broadcast.
Pure and beautiful, like an angel.
Caesar couldn't help but stare in amazement, but Yuan Zhinv had already turned around and left, going deeper alone. There were holes one after another in the ancient bronze city, and each hole was connected to a bronze corridor, like an ant nest immersed in water.
Caesar scratched his head, shone the flashlight upwards, and looked up at the entire cave.
The space here is so huge that it seems like a giant's palace. The dome is engraved with ancient patterns. They are the scattered branches of a giant tree, and the leaves and twigs are bent into unreadable characters.
Caesar picked up the waterproof camera and kept taking pictures and recording. These precious images were continuously transmitted to the survey ship on the water, which would be a major gain.
"I didn't realize Norton was an artist." Caesar muttered to himself, "He has quite good taste. Although I don't understand it, it feels very exquisite."
"Those are all dragon characters." Ange's voice sounded in the headset: "Although it seems that we can't decipher them at the moment, it can be regarded as an unexpected gain. Back them up immediately."
Caesar raised an eyebrow: "Does the Dragon King like to write on the roof? So it's convenient to lie down and read?"
"Not sure. We haven't come into contact with other dragon kings yet. Maybe we can ask Norton himself if we have a chance." Angers said, and then paused: "Caesar, your heartbeat is speeding up. Are you okay?"
"What could possibly happen?" Caesar smiled nonchalantly. "If there's going to be a problem, it can't be me. I'm the team leader."
