Schneider and Manstein glanced at each other and gently rang the bronze bell in front of the principal's office.

"Gentlemen, please." Ange's voice came from inside the door.

Schneider pushed open the door, and the walls were lined with bookshelves, and the shelves and ancient books formed the patio filled with golden sunlight. Ange sat under the skylight on the top floor drinking tea, and from time to time he could see squirrels scurrying about on the shelves.

"I already know what you're going to say." Ange smiled, "Don't be sad, come up and have a cup of tea first."

Schneider and Manstein sat down across from Angers, and for a moment they didn't know where to start, so much had happened in the past few hours, the discovery of the ancient dragon city in the trench, the betrayal of the Japanese branch, the eruption of an undersea volcano, the explosion of the nuclear power compartment, and the unknown whereabouts of the operation team...... Never since its inception has the Department encountered such a complex situation.

"It's not too bad," Ange was the first to break the silence, "It seems that the Japanese branch hasn't done too badly, at least not to release the stuff from the bottom of the sea."

"We received a letter of collective resignation faxed from the Japanese branch." Manstein said.

"Maybe it's more accurate to call it a book of mass rebellion, those Japs have finally done what they've dreamed of for years." Ange scratched his head, "Haven't you been in touch with the task force yet?"

"No news." "The disintegration of the Dirieste in deep water, the survival rate is not high, coupled with the factors of volcanic eruptions, nuclear explosions and corpse guards, the Japanese branch also deliberately concealed the information, and we cannot get accurate information," Manstein said.

"To make matters worse, Norma can't function right now. The Snake Eight Family's Tetsuki-hime system has built a tight firewall, and Norma can't access the network in Japan." Schneider said, "Losing Norma is like losing our eyes, and even if the action team survives, they can't contact us, and they will eventually fall into the hands of the Snake Eight Family."

"If Norma can't do it, let EVA do it." "If you awaken the EVA personality, her authority will even surpass yours." Schneider reminded.

"No problem, EVA is our good girl, give her the order to attack. The Eight Families of Snake Qi don't want our forces to infiltrate Japan, so we must infiltrate them." Ange took out a black card and pushed it in front of Schneider, "The other one is for Manstein to ask the vice principal to take it, and the two black cards plus the power of attorney can wake up EVA."

"What else does the Headmaster have for us to do?" Schneider accepted the card and asked.

"No, you've worked hard, go back and get some rest." The principal said.

"Yes." Schneider and Manstein turned to leave.

The phone on the table rang, and Ange grabbed the microphone as he looked out the window.

"Hey! Angers! You're in the office, aren't you?" The voice on the other end of the line sounded very cheerful. "How are you?" Ange was taken aback, "I thought it was Frost calling."

"It's hard to say this, more cordial greetings wait until we meet, is your skylight open?" "On...... What do you mean? Wait, don't mess around!" Ange frowned, alert to the fact that something was wrong.

"Can't wait, look up at me, I'm saying hello to you!" Now your closest friend, Pompeii Gattuso, is only two hundred meters away from you, and is approaching you at a speed of 3.5 meters per second!"

Ange looked up at the skylight, the sun was dark, white umbrella flowers were falling from the sky, and the skydiver was waving to him.

"Pompeii, you're insane! You're going to break my roof!" Ange yelled.

"Don't worry, I just won the BASE Diving World Championship!" The parachute obscured the view, and the man shouted with the wind, "Oh yes!"

The man named Pompeii Gattuso landed on the large desk, and the white umbrella flowers slowly fell behind him, like clouds.

The man twisted his waist coquettishly and appeared: "Applause! Cheer! Remember that you are talking to BASE Jumping World Champion Pompeii Gattuso!"

The man was born with a good skin, long blond hair, ocean-blue eyes, a high nose, a manly beard, healthy wheat-colored skin, rimless glasses, and a coquettish neckline

Reveal perfectly shaped pectorals...... This is enough to make many women covet the beauty, so even though he is a peerless scumbag who is ashamed of even the vice principal, there are still many celebrities who are proud of his favor.

"Didn't you still play horse racing when I last saw you?" Ange frowned, "When did BASE jumping become your specialty again?"

"The Spanish princess I was racing with broke her leg, and it makes me feel a little sad to continue riding with the woman with the broken leg. Or is BASE jumping a sport for young people that suits me, you know? Young girls prefer guys who play BASE jumping." Pompeii stepped on his seat and walked down, with a parachute in tow behind him.

Pompeii finished greeting, turned around and went to Ange's tea cabinet to grope, and took out Ange's treasured "Zhengshan Species", Angers frowned, and did not approve of this kind of behavior of rummaging through other people's collections, but Pompeii is different, this contemporary head of the Gattuso family has always believed in money to open the way, and when he drinks Angers's Zhengshan Species, he will return a gift worth more than a hundred times more than the Zhengshan Species.

"How long have we not seen each other?" Pompeii brought the brewed black tea to Ange.

"Ten years? Why aren't you old, old thing?" Ange took a sip of mellow black tea and said.

"A playboy like me plays with women every day, drives a yacht, participates in Paris Fashion Week, accompanies supermodels to ski in Switzerland, and of course stays young forever." Pompey took out a cigar and struck it on the upper of his shoe to make the tobacco firmer, "I smoke very little, health."

"You're here as a representative of the Gattuso family?"

"Yes, my sons are missing, how can I, as a father, not be in a hurry? That's why I went out myself."

"Someone like you still cares about his son?" Ange scoffed, "You've never even attended his parent-teacher conferences? What did Caesar say when he last mentioned you to me, "Stallion Daddy"? That's probably what I said."

"I love my son very much," Pompeii said solemnly, "Caesar is only in his rebellious period, and he will eventually know that I am a good father."

"Caesar's rebellion is probably still a long time." Ange shrugged, "But you don't know if your son is alive or dead, but you don't look nervous."

"Aren't you nervous, and I can't find fault with you like Frost, can I? We're brothers! I'm here for fear that Frost will mess things up, and you know that my *** brother is in a terrible mental state and is very manic, and if he comes, he might put a gun to your head." Pompeii seemed to pat Ange on the shoulder intimately, "But don't blame him, we have a lot of old things like him in our family, they belong to genetic diseases, mania, you know? There is a family history of the disease."

"Do you really care about your son?"

"Concern, why don't I come here and do it? I'll just tell you that my brother is a psychopath, don't be like him. I know you're not happy that you had a little conflict with him, and I know that he impeached you on the school board...... Alas! Brother, you know me, I have complete trust in you, your ability, I don't have to say, it's absolutely first-class! Who else but you, looking at the whole world, can manage this academy well?" Pompey looked sincere, "But you also know that I am just a nominal head of the family, my only role is to reproduce, although Caesar is rebellious, he is right, to put it mildly, I am not just a stallion!" Frost is in power, I am soft-spoken, it's not that my brother doesn't support you, but I really have more than enough strength......

Ange silently held up the ashtray, "You go ahead and try to see if I'm going to be manic?"

Pompey quickly reached out and took the ashtray: "We are all brothers, what can't we talk about? I'm here to see what the hell those Japanese bastards are up to!"

Ange glanced coldly at Pompey and pulled out a chest from under his desk, which looked very old, wrapped in dark green lizard skin, rusted with brass buckles, and the coat of arms of the Kassel Academy branded on the seal.

He pushed the box in front of Pompey, "This is the original of the covenant between us and the Eight Families of Snakes, be careful, it's broken."

Pompeii opened the box and opened the yellow, brittle stack of papers.

"The covenant we have now with the Eight Families of Snake was signed with them when I went to Tokyo after the end of World War II," Ange said, "and according to the agreement, the Eight Families of Snake Qi will send outstanding descendants to the United States for further study, and these Japanese students will form the Japanese branch of the Kassel Academy when they return to Japan, and this is the origin of the Japanese branch." After this agreement was signed, the subordination of the Eight Families of Snake Qi to the Secret Party was formalized, but they had a great deal of autonomy."

"It's all your work." Pompey exclaimed, "But even if the Japanese branch is autonomous, how can you let them do things with an old woman like you?"

"I know that the Eight Families of Snake Qi are very unwilling to accept our defeat at the beginning. However, the Eight Families of Snake Qi are not a united organization, they have eight branches, each of which has its own territory and interests, for example, the Miyamoto family's sphere of influence is the shipbuilding industry, the Ryoma family's sphere of influence is arms, and the Inuyama family's sphere of influence is the custom industry...... If a family accidentally meddles in another family's business, it has to follow the rules of the underworld and solve the problem through violence. Not only that, but they also have sworn enemies called the "Fierce Ghosts". It was an underworld organization composed of traitors from the Eight Families of Snakes, and they were fighting against the Eight Families of Snakes in southern Japan, so it was very difficult for them to reach a consensus against us internally."

"So you mean that since the Eight Families of Snake Qi are not united, it will be difficult to betray us together, right?" Pompeii asked.

"It is difficult for a disunited organization to form a war resolution, and behind the war there must be a strong leader who can eliminate all opposing voices." Ange said coldly, "This time the Eight Snake Families have betrayed extremely resolutely, which shows that they now have a strong leader and are determined to go their own way!"

"Wait," Pompey's eyes lit up, "you've foreseen this, haven't you?" You are such a grudge-minded person, can you not retaliate if the Japanese bite you? Can you still sit here? Tell me, tell me, what arrangements did you make to knock those Japanese down?"

Ange smiled slightly, revealing an arrogant expression, "I did prepare, but I am not going to tell you."

"Wonderful." Pompeii applauded, "I'm curious, but how about you hear another piece of news from me?"

"You? What news can you bring?" Ange said.

"Wow brother, it's really hurtful for you to talk like this!" Pompeii stroked his chest muscles with his hands, his face aching, "Don't you want to know how that ancient dragon city called Takamagahara, sank into the abyss? I thought we were good friends who were not separated from each other, and we came to you as soon as we had eyebrows."

Ange's gaze became fierce, "Go on."

"You know that Japan is a bad location, right?" Pompey said.

"I know that the Pacific Rim Volcanic Seismic Zone has an unstable geological structure and frequent earthquakes." Raise your head.

"I know that after you found Takamagahara in the trench, one of them is particularly interesting, saying that you can find geological evidence that about 10,000 years ago, there was a super earthquake in Japan with a magnitude close to ten that almost collapsed all four islands of Japan."

Ange frowned: "An earthquake that can devastate hundreds of thousands of square kilometers of land really exists?"

"It may not be possible to change to another place, but in this part of Japan, it is not impossible." Pompeii explained with relish, "First of all, the Japanese crust is full of magma rivers, and there are hundreds of active volcanoes throughout Japan. Second, frequent earthquakes have created a large number of cracks in the surface of the earth's crust, which are filled with seawater and groundwater, so that the deep layers of the earth's crust are densely covered with lava rivers, and the surface of the earth's crust has been infiltrated by seawater. And the worst thing is that the magma feeds the bacteria in the strata, which have been respiring anaerobically in the earth's crust for hundreds of millions of years, producing a large amount of biogas, which cannot be discharged, and has accumulated in the cavity of the earth's crust for an unknown number of years, and the total amount adds up to more than 70% of the earth's biogas. Think about it, when a super earthquake strikes, what will happen to Japan's foundations?"

"So you're saying that it was at that time that Takamagahara slid into the abyss along with the land?" Ange was keen to grasp the key point.

"I love talking to smart people like you." Pompeii smiled.

"Is there really a magnitude 10 earthquake in the world?"

"From geology

Academically, there is no reason for such a mega-earthquake to occur, and a magnitude 10 earthquake is just a theory." Pompeii looked into Ange's eyes, "But sometimes we have to consider other factors when thinking about things, and you and I should understand that."

"You mean...... Burst out?" Ange's eyes were dark.

"Let's imagine a scene in the ancient castle of Takamagahara 10,000 years ago, a dragon king unleashed the ultimate spirit at the moment of awakening, and the earth shook, and the entire Japanese archipelago began to shake, and it was about to sink, and then the ancient city with the most violent shaking was stripped from the land of Japan, dragged into the deep sea by an unprecedented tide, and finally slid into the depths of the trench. It was cut off from the sea for 10,000 years, until the Lenin fell from the sky laden with fresh ancient dragon blood, and the ancient city sucked the fetal blood to life. The Dirieste witnessed the world's greatest blood sacrifice in the depths of the Abyss." Pompeii described it eloquently, "If an ancient dragon embryo is used for the sacrifice alone, what kind of thing must be sacrificed?"

Ange spoke, "I can't think of anything else that was sacrificed in the blood of the dragon king but the gods."

"That's right!" Pompeii snapped his fingers, "Brother, compared to suppressing the rebellion of the Eight Snake Clans, the more urgent thing is to kill the gods!"
