Chapter 1122: Official Declaration of War Against the Ito Family

An Mingji grasped Gu Jin’s hand, smiling brightly and joyfully.

Great, now he has another way to protect A Jin.

The young man said softly, "Shall we go back?"

"Sure—"

Gu Jin’s expression softened, and she was in quite a good mood.

She was happy that An Mingji now had another way to protect himself in the face of danger.

...

The car slowly drove into the villa.

While sitting in the car, Gu Jin saw Allen escorting the Short Country’s Death Warriors away from a distance.

Later, after returning to the living room and finishing breakfast, Gu Jin didn’t see Allen again.

She had no idea where he was taking those Death Warriors.

Still, they wouldn’t leave the villa entirely.

After breakfast, An Mingji pushed Gu Jin upstairs. "Go upstairs, take a shower, and catch some sleep. I’ll go check on the results of Allen’s interrogation."

"What’s the rush? You didn’t sleep last night either. What’s the harm in waiting until after you’ve rested?"

Last night, An Mingji had climbed down the mountain and caught a cold wind; Gu Jin felt he needed rest even more than she did.

An Mingji laughed and said, "I’m not sleepy."

He couldn’t rest easy without understanding the intentions of the Short Country people.

This was the second time they had targeted him, and it was a direct, undisguised attack.

The first time they harmed him was in Italy.

Back then, he had his first encounter with the refined puppets and was hurt by them.

At that time, everyone got along on the surface; it could be said to be an accidental injury.

This time it was different.

The Short Country was officially declaring war on the Darwin Family this time.

After coaxing Gu Jin upstairs, An Mingji turned around and left with big strides.

His exquisite and handsome face was clouded, with a bloodthirsty glint flashing in his eyes.

The Short Country was courting death!

If he didn’t challenge them, wouldn’t he be letting their suicidal acts go unanswered?

Behind the greenhouse in the villa’s garden stood a small wooden house, where a bloody scene was unfolding.

The Darwin Family’s interrogation methods were already extremely cruel.

But Allen’s personal method of interrogation was a rare sight.

Rumor had it that anyone lucky enough to witness a punishment personally conducted by him wouldn’t be able to stomach any meat for a month.

This handsome blond man, without such brutal methods, how could he ensure his subordinates’ obedience?

With elegant strides, An Mingji strolled around the garden.

His destination was the wooden house.

All the way, there wasn’t a sound coming from the wooden house.

Yet, An Mingji smelled a faint scent of blood in the air.

This smell, coming from the wooden house.

From this, he knew that inside the wooden house wasn’t as quiet as it seemed; Allen and his company had already taken action inside.

Arriving at the wooden house’s door, An Mingji sniffed the increasingly strong scent of blood, a trace of annoyance flashing between his eyebrows.

At that moment, someone opened the wooden door from the inside.

Allen was wiping his hands with a bloodstained cloth, his expression indifferent.

Seeing the person standing outside, his expression stiffened slightly, "Family Head?"

An Mingji nodded lightly, "Did you find out anything?"

"We did! These beasts!"

Allen’s face showed anger and a difficult-to-cover expression.

He had extracted all the details clearly, including the ancient tomb beneath the mine, the origin of the nine Evil Puppets, and the collaboration between the Short Country and Siam Country using them for experiments.

Thinking about the countless living beings that died at their hands, even Allen showed a hint of compassion on his face.

The methods were too brutal, as if they took no regard for human life.

Unlike those who frequent danger zones engaging in killing, those beasts were engaging in live torture.

Most importantly, they dared to plot against the Family Head.

They wanted to refine their master into a puppet at their behest.

This was clearly digging their own grave!

Upon hearing Allen explain the situation, An Mingji’s expression remained unchanged, only the light in his eyes darkened.

"Family Head, what should we do next?" Since they dared to declare war on the Darwin Family, they must be prepared to face the consequences.

Allen had already made full combat preparations.

As soon as the Family Head gave the order, forces across the nation would rise up, sworn to annihilate the Ito Family members.

"What we know now is that the Ito Family not only dug out Evil Puppets here but also has materials elsewhere. Therefore, we should follow the trail and destroy their experimental bases one by one!"

An Mingji was no fool; the actions of the Ito Family had completely angered him.

Starting today, this family would enter its path of destruction.

Allen’s expression was serious. "Alright, I’ll handle it immediately. If we don’t stop them now, who knows what these madmen will concoct."

Thinking about the tens of thousands of innocent people disappearing across the nation, Allen felt a chill down his spine.

...

Gu Jin took a nap, and upon waking, heard about the Ito Family’s conspiracy from An Mingji. Her face immediately turned grim.

She even called the Wanqi Family and the Yu Family immediately to inform them of the Short Country people’s plot.

Should they manage to refine more puppets, it would undoubtedly cause even greater chaos.

The fact they dared to plot secretly in Yazhou indicated they likely had secret bases in other locations too.

What they needed now was to uncover these hidden nests across the nation and destroy every experimental site on this land.

The Cabinet convened a meeting to discuss this matter, determined to dig three feet underground to crush the Short Country people’s conspiracy.

The proposal was unanimously passed, without a single opposing vote.

On the same day, power-holders nationwide received special search orders issued from Beijing.

The Darwin Family acted even more ruthlessly.

On the day of the incident, members closest to the Short Country marched directly to the Ito Family’s stronghold to declare war.

This declaration of war was public.

Global leaders and power-holders received the news immediately, not to mention members of the Short Country Royal Family.

The Short Country Royal Family came to know of it and chose to abandon the Ito Family publicly.

For a time, the Ito Family found itself isolated and helpless, surrounded at their stronghold.

The Corpse Refining Power from Siam Country was not spared by the Darwin Family either.

As this force waned, a small team from the Darwin Family, armed with newly developed weapons, went over to greet the local Royal Family, and both parties easily resolved the issue through cooperation.

They were like pests in the gutter; if they truly stood against the Darwin Family, the Siam Royal Family wasn’t foolish enough to suffer losses for such a cause.

The Ito Family had tens of thousands of puppets at their disposal, making it relatively challenging to handle them.

Causing them occasional trouble was rather easy.

Even though they were abandoned by the Short Country Royal Family, it was only on the surface.

No member of the main Ito Family stepped forward; only inconsequential figures were brought to the forefront.

Despite this, they suffered significant casualties this time.

What hit them hardest was the continuous reports of their numerous secret bases being discovered and destroyed.

Their years of painstaking efforts risked collapse.

This loss was the most severe blow to them.
