106: Chapter 106: Water Lilies Await Their Bloom! World War III Breaks Out!

Not long after, a large transport plane took off from the Yanjing garrison airport, bound for Xuancheng City in Anwan Province.

More than half an hour later, the transport plane landed.

Director An Lei, dressed in black, walked quickly off the plane, followed by a group of Super-Duty Bureau members.

Looking closely, Director An Lei's figure appeared somewhat weary, and his cold, resolute face bore traces of sorrow.

Below the plane, several extended sedans were already parked there.

"Hello, Director An, I am the section chief of the Chen family's security department. The vehicles are ready, please follow me."

A man in black stepped forward to salute, and Director An Lei nodded before getting into the car with him.

A few minutes later, the motorcade left the airport.

In front of the motorcade, police officers on white motorcycles with flashing lights cleared the way, and they soon arrived at a detached manor belonging to the Chen family in Xuancheng City.

It was past midnight, and the manor was draped in black and white flowers and long black silk ribbons.

The main hall of the manor was brightly lit, and from time to time, the sorrowful weeping of women could be heard.

The atmosphere was very oppressive, evoking strong emotions and making one feel inevitably downcast.

Facing the varied gazes of the Chen family members, Director An Lei walked to the spirit coffin. Seeing Little Princess, who lay quietly in the coffin like a beautiful water lily, his heart felt as if it were being cut by knives, and his body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

He struggled to raise his arm, gently stroking Little Princess's pale, bloodless cheek, which lacked even a trace of warmth.

Director An Lei lowered his head and whispered gently into Little Princess's ear:

"Luo Qi, I promised you that next year on 520, I would give you lots and lots of beautiful flowers. This time I won't break my promise again; you will definitely be able to see them."

"Sleep well, I will wait for the day you wake up."

Director An Lei's eyes were full of love as he gently kissed Little Princess's forehead.

Then, he stood up and said to Elder Chen, who was standing nearby in mourning clothes: "Grandpa, there is no need to bury Luo Qi. Let her lie here quietly."

"The extraordinary has already revived, and I will be able to find the Spirit Medicine for soul-returning in a while."

"If I really can't find it..."

Director An Lei was silent for a few moments, "I will go to Xiangnan to seek a glimmer of Opportunity."

Elder Chen, supported by Little Princess's father, nodded silently.

Immediately after, a suffocating cold glint flashed across the old man's eyes. "Daring to lay a hand on my granddaughter, this matter cannot be let go just like this!"

"Whether it is the Special Higher Police of the island nation or whatever forces are behind the scenes, I will make them pay a hundredfold, thousandfold, ten-thousandfold painful price!"

"After you go back, tell the Wang family that the Super-Duty Bureau's first external operation will start with this matter!"

"No matter who it is, as long as they are involved in this matter, I want their entire family to be buried with her. Uproot them completely, leave no one behind!"

In front of the spirit coffin, Mother Chen also stopped her sorrowful weeping and turned to look at Director An Lei, echoing:

"Xiao Lei, you are now in charge of the top power-holding department in the East; you must not let this matter go lightly."

"The old man is right. No matter who it is, as long as they are involved in this matter, root them out completely, leave no one behind!"

"Mom, rest assured. Even if Grandpa didn't say it, I would have taken action myself to make the people who orchestrated this plan pay a terrible price."

"Xiao Lei, come with me to the inner room."

"Yes, Grandpa."

"..."

The night was deep, and not a trace of moonlight could be seen.

The entire sky looked as if it had been stained with black ink, revealing the gravity and oppression before a storm arrives.

...

Two days later, after multiple unsuccessful negotiations and given Yanjing's strong stance, the major powers around the world could no longer hold back.

The fifth plenary session of the Blue Star Federation was officially held via video link.

"Council Chairman, all member states are present, except for the traitorous 'Middle East Desert Nation'."

"Fine, I understand."

The first Council Chairman of the Blue Star Federation, President Tavo, nodded expressionlessly.

Immediately after, he tidied up the documents on the table and looked with burning eyes at the various meeting representatives on the large wall screen.

"The East has abandoned civilization and is striding towards barbarism."

"As the dawn of civilization for all mankind, the Blue Star Federation should curb this terrorist behavior as soon as possible!"

"I now propose that the Blue Star Federation launch a war against the East, including but not limited to using nuclear weapons and all other necessary means!"

"As the hegemon of Northern Europe, I, Russia, agree with Council Chairman President Tavo's proposal."

Ramir, 001 of Russia, also a superpower, was the first to support President Tavo.

Ramir's methods were as straightforward as always. As the country with the most nuclear weapons in the world, he had already issued a level-one combat readiness order.

Russian legions equipped with tanks, missiles, and other heavy weapons had already been deployed along the eastern Siberian and Far East borders, waiting only for his final combat order.

Today, traces of Spiritual Energy Revival were being discovered within various countries across the globe.

Although the concentration of Spiritual Qi was still very thin, some gifted Prodigies had already taken a step into the extraordinary ahead of time!

Ramir, President Tavo, and others were well aware of this.

Yet they still chose to send troops against the East.

This was no longer just about plundering the resources of the Spiritual Energy Revival, but about prematurely breaking the East's extraordinary Foundation!

The sword had already been unsheathed; if they were to withdraw it, they would only suffer greater losses.

In the future, the people of the East would surely harbor hatred, and given the disparity in life levels, not a single one of these countries that initiated the siege would be able to escape.

Therefore, they had to fight, fight until they achieved complete victory, and fight until the East's backbone was completely broken, so that they could sleep soundly and securely!

As for failure? No one had ever thought of that.

With hundreds of countries around the world joining forces, if they still couldn't defeat the East, they might as well just bang their heads against a wall and die beforehand.

The President of The United Kingdom, with a thick ancient Indian accent, spoke up in support:

"The United Kingdom agrees with the Council Chairman's decision!"

"France agrees!"

"Germany agrees!"

"Austria agrees!"

"..."

Numerous countries expressed their positions one after another, all supporting the sounding of the horn of war!

At this moment, small countries and regions that were originally unwilling had no choice but to bite the bullet and charge forward.

In the past, small fries like them, with no strength and no equipment, could only find a glimmer of breathing room in the cracks between the power struggles of major nations.

But now, this balance had been broken, and they had no choice but to hold their noses and choose a side to stand with.

"Good! Unanimously passed!"

Before the camera, President Tavo tidied his clean and tidy suit and said in a solemn voice:

"I now declare in my capacity as the Council Chairman of the Blue Star Federation: The Blue Star Federation officially declares war on the East!"

All the national representatives in the video feed stood up.

Listening to President Tavo's declaration, everyone seemed to see a beautiful golden age of the future beckoning to them.

"Next, I invite the first Chief of General Staff of the Blue Star Federation, 'Sakata', to release the war offensive plan!"

Clap, clap, clap—

Everyone applauded in unison, and Sakata, a short man with a handlebar mustache, appeared on the screen from the German Empire.

Sakata was originally from the island nation; thirty years ago, after finishing his studies abroad, he chose to stay in Germany.

Later, due to work reasons, he chose to become a naturalized citizen of Germany, rising from a mere recruit to the rank of General in the German Empire.

Normally speaking, it is difficult for personnel who are not native-born to reach high positions.

But Sakata was different; he had the support of the island nation behind him, and coupled with the increasingly close relationship between the island nation and Germany in recent decades, this unspoken rule was silently broken, and his promotion to General was a matter of course, without encountering too much obstruction.

Of course, Sakata himself was a military Prodigy.

In past international exercises, as long as it was a legion under his command, there had never been a single defeat, earning him a high reputation among various countries and the title of "Invincible General".

It was just that Sakata had not experienced large-scale actual combat; basically, it was all armchair strategy, with the prerequisite conditions all being exercises.

Then again, in this day and age, apart from a few turbulent areas, how many people have experienced large-scale actual combat tempering?

Under the gaze of everyone, Sakata walked calmly and composedly to the large global map on the wall.
