391: The War Begins

"Why have you become so sentimental lately? It doesn't fit your image as a cold and glamorous assassin at all," Pan Han said, pulling Ellie into his arms.

"I don't know." Ellie bit Pan Han's chest, leaving a tooth mark.

"Doesn't it hurt?" Seeing that Pan Han didn't make a sound, she suddenly felt some regret and asked with concern.

"It doesn't hurt," Pan Han replied with a smile.

"Then go to sleep; I'll read for a while longer."

"Ha. You silly girl." Pan Han picked up his phone and realized it was already 2:30 in the morning.

There were a few unread messages from the Knight Order, so Pan Han opened them to browse.

Ellie leaned quietly against him, not saying a word.

"This Yamashita Tatsune, knowing that we have a bounty on him, immediately reinforced his manpower, and the first wave of people has been withdrawn." After finishing reading everything, Pan Han shared the news with Ellie.

"This guy is actually quite alert. But in the end, he won't live long. I guess the subsequent waves are already being prepared." Ellie had poisoned a few people before; she knew the Knight Order's style of operations.

"A few hours ago, Yamashita Tatsune went to the airport specifically to pick up a woman from Eagle Country."

"Oh? It seems this woman has a significant background." Hearing that the other side also had a woman, Ellie immediately became interested.

She opened her own phone to check the intelligence.

"Hmm, this woman's background is still unclear. But it's very likely she was sent by Eagle Country." Pan Han couldn't be sure, but he had a premonition.

Given the strength of the Yamaguchi-gumi and the ridiculous excuse of avenging a lackey, Pan Han vaguely felt that Eagle Country was behind the mischief.

A few dozen days ago, he had gone on a rampage in Eagle Country. Although he felt he hadn't been exposed, it was hard to say if they had other means to find out.

Meanwhile, in Sakura Country, Ayaka Kurai was also looking at materials related to Pan Han.

To her surprise, Pan Han was actually so young and handsome.

Ayaka Kurai stared at the photo, a wicked smile appearing on the corner of her mouth, and she stuck out her tongue to lick the photo.

"Kid, I've got you in my sights."

Far away in Myanmar Northern Region, Pan Han shuddered, and a sense of nausea welled up.

"Boss, what's wrong?" Seeing this, Ellie asked hurriedly.

"I'm not sure, just a sudden wave of discomfort. Nausea, feeling like I'm going to throw up."

"Ah? Did you eat something bad?" Thinking of dinner, Ellie immediately rolled out of bed, wanting to call a doctor to check on him.

"It's fine now, come back. It was just for a moment."

Pan Han called Ellie back and pulled her onto the bed.

"Sleep with me."

"Oh!"

The two fell asleep in each other's arms until nine o'clock the next morning.

Ellie got up earlier and prepared breakfast, waiting for Pan Han.

When he finished washing up and came to the dining table, Ellie looked at him with a grin.

"What's up?"

"It has already started."

Ellie handed over the tablet, which contained an operational briefing.

Pan Han quickly browsed through it; sure enough, Sakura Country had fallen into chaos overnight.

Yamashita Tatsune's protection was tight, so they started with his surroundings.

Many venues were raided, and seven or eight middle-to-high-level members were assassinated.

Let's see how the Yamaguchi-gumi plugs this loophole.

It would be best if all the elites were moved to protect Yamashita Tatsune; all the external industries and personnel would be slowly devoured by the Knight Order.

"Not bad. I'll add more fuel to the fire. For every lackey of the other side killed, the reward is 1 million eagle sauce coins. Team leaders get 2 million eagle sauce coins, middle-level cadres 5 million eagle sauce coins, and high-level leaders 10 million eagle sauce coins. Hehehe." After finishing, Pan Han sent the order and then tossed the tablet aside to eat.

"Oh! Your cooking skills have improved again."

"Is that so? Then eat more. I'll make it for you every day from now on."

While the two were sweet and happy, Ryugen Yamashita was at a complete loss.

He only slept for two hours last night; the Knight Order's counterattack was too sharp. In just a few hours, the Yamaguchi-gumi had suffered heavy losses.

"Damn it! Counterattack, give me a counterattack!" Looking at the loss report, Ryugen Yamashita could no longer suppress his anger.

Beside him, there were three veterans who hadn't been killed yet, and they were sitting opposite him at this moment.

The three looked at Ryugen Yamashita, quite speechless.

Easy to say, but how to counterattack?

The Knight Order was in the shadows, and the Yamaguchi-gumi was in the open.

We don't even know where they are attacking from, how can we counterattack!

"Didn't you hear me? Counterattack!" Seeing the three unmoved, Ryugen Yamashita roared at them.

"Young Master, calm down. Anger doesn't solve problems."

"When you took action initially, why didn't you notify the three of us?"

"Now that something has gone wrong, you know to call us to counterattack."

The three old guys each said a sentence, coordinating perfectly, leaving Ryugen Yamashita speechless.

However, this also reminded him.

It was Colonel Chris who told him to take action in the first place; now that something happened, he should go find him!

And didn't Chris just send someone over?

Ryugen Yamashita immediately went upstairs to Ayaka Kurai's room.

"Look at what happened last night. The Knight Order's strikes were too fast."

"I just finished reading. I didn't expect the Yamaguchi-gumi to have fallen to this point. It's truly a disgrace to Sakura Country."

"What did you say?" Ryugen Yamashita was already in a rage, and seeing her insult the Yamaguchi-gumi again, he was so angry he wanted to jump on the bed and hit her.

"When they strike, you just strike back."

"Nonsense, if I could find them, would I come looking for you?"

"If you have no ability, don't be so tough. You have no awareness at all." Ayaka Kurai got up from the bed and tossed a tablet to Ryugen Yamashita.

Ryugen Yamashita opened it and saw dense character files.

"Are these, by any chance, the situation of the Knight Order's personnel in our country?"

"Consider it a welcome gift. Go take action." Ayaka Kurai stretched and headed straight for the bathroom to wash up.

She didn't really want to help the Knight Order; she just hoped that the conflict between the two sides would escalate as much as possible.

You kill me, I kill you; that's exciting.

As for when to kill Pan Han, Ayaka Kurai had her own plans, but for now, she needed to deal with the Yamaguchi-gumi first.

Sure enough, Ryugen Yamashita acted as if he had obtained a treasure, hurried downstairs, and immediately organized his men to begin the counterattack.

The battle quickly entered the second phase, and after a few days, both sides began to suffer heavy casualties.

On the Knight Order's side, there was even a squad that was surrounded by hundreds of Yamaguchi-gumi members because they couldn't retreat in time.

They fought for several dozen minutes, still unable to break out, and were eventually all hacked to death by samurai swords.

However, the Yamaguchi-gumi suffered even greater losses; their middle management was basically wiped out, and all high-level members were hiding at home, not daring to go out.

Their affiliated industries were all in a state of paralysis.

And the Knight Order's global assassins were pouring into Sakura Country in a steady stream.

In their eyes, everyone in the Yamaguchi-gumi was money!

This trip was a journey to get rich!

And the Sakura Country police, having received notification from Eagle Country, remained still, secretly observing from behind the scenes.

Pan Han stayed in his room every day, playing games, eating, and occasionally checking war reports, living quite comfortably.

And with Ellie's company, he didn't feel bored.

Incidentally, he also taught her to play King of Glory, specifically playing support, and the two were happily playing ranked duo.
