Mu Chen knew Sengoku was trying to put him in his place again!
Mu Chen tried his best to stand properly, but after only a few seconds, he resumed that carefree attitude and said slowly, "Fleet Admiral, have you run out of other ways to lecture me?"
"Why don't you hit me and vent some anger?"
Mu Chen's shameless attitude left Sengoku speechless. He had never seen an admiral more shameless than Mu Chen.
"Y-You know this is defying orders, don't you?"
Sengoku's voice suddenly rose. He grabbed the documents on the desk and hurled them at Mu Chen. "Look at this! On Egghead Island, you deliberately destroyed Marine property! And when I told you to become the commander of the Science Force, you refused!"
The documents scattered at Mu Chen's feet. He bent down to pick them up, his gaze sweeping over matters he already knew about. A faint smile curled at his lips. "I really couldn't hold back. I didn't control my strength properly during the fight." Right now, Mu Chen could only refuse to admit fault and insist it had been an accident.
Seeing Mu Chen smile like that, Sengoku trembled with rage and pointed toward the door. "You still dare to smile?"
"Do you know what the Five Elders said on the phone?"
"They said the Marines raised an undisciplined, lawless admiral. Where am I supposed to put my old face?"
At that, Sengoku looked as though he had a headache. "I don't care what others say."
Mu Chen raised his head, his eyes clear and resolute. "But I have to make this clear. Vegapunk cloned my genes first, then studied my abilities. That crossed the line. If the Marines can't even give me that much dignity, then there's no point in wearing this uniform."
