"Y You What nonsense are you talking about?! Docks 1 through 4 each have at least three ships and a large number of men guarding them. How could they just lose contact like that?!" A cadre grabbed the mafia member in anger and demanded an answer.
"I I really don't know…" The man trembled all over, his face white as paper.
"Enough!" Ante finally snapped out of his shock. He was usually expressionless, but now his face was dark in a terrifying way.
He spoke coldly, "This isn't the time to argue about truth or lies. If the enemy can cause this much commotion, enough to make Docks 1 through 4 completely lose contact with us, then they are no ordinary people. It might even be the Navy moving against us, but"
"Whoever you are, if you dare strike the Gambino family, you will pay the price!"
Ante's expression turned vicious and ferocious. He swung his arm hard and barked, "All units move. No matter who they are, kill them. Leave no survivors!"
"Yes, boss!"
All cadres stiffened and hurried out.
Very soon, over three thousand mafia members throughout the manor were mobilized.
They carried submachine guns, and some even shouldered rocket launchers, aiming in every direction around the manor.
Hidden gun ports embedded in the manor walls also activated one after another. In an instant, the entire estate became an unbreakable military fortress.
It was obvious. The moment anyone approached the manor, they would be drowned in overwhelming firepower.
"Let me see exactly who you are!"
In the manor courtyard, Ante and the cadres stared into the darkness outside. A cold smile appeared on Ante's face.
…
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!
A group of ANBU moved rapidly through the darkness, the stench of blood still clinging to them.
Seeing the brightly lit manor packed with personnel, they halted in the shadows.
Then, forty eight ANBU gathered together without a sound.
"What do we do? They look like they're already on alert."
"The prince said those guns and cannons are as strong as most ninjutsu, and there are too many. If we charge in head on, it won't end well."
"I can use bugs to destroy the guns in their hands, but I can't do anything about the cannons inside the manor."
"Then leave the cannons to us!"
"Can you pull it off?"
"Don't forget. Before joining ANBU, we were the famous Ino Shika Cho squad."
"Good. Then let's move!"
After a brief tactical discussion, one ANBU stepped forward and crouched, placing a hand on the ground. In the next moment, countless tiny insects surged out of his body, swarming across the ground. Under the cover of night, they crawled toward the manor at high speed.
"Secret Technique: Shadow Tentacles!"
At that moment, two more ANBU stepped out.
One of them formed hand signs quickly. Under the moonlight, the shadow beneath his feet tore free from the ground and instantly turned into a rope, tightly wrapping around another ANBU member with a sturdier build.
Then the shadow rope whipped with sudden force, hurling that sturdy ANBU member straight into the air.
The tremendous power sent him soaring up into the sky. In the darkness, he flew directly above the manor.
Looking down at the estate below, he formed hand signs at blinding speed.
"Secret Technique: Super Expansion Jutsu!"
Boom!!!
A heavy explosion erupted in the night sky. Thick white smoke spread above the manor.
"What's going on?!"
That sudden muffled blast made everyone in the estate look up.
But what they saw next left Ante and every Gambino cadre frozen in place, fear slowly spreading across their faces.
Above the manor, huge clouds of white smoke had appeared from nowhere, and a giant in black clothing and a mask descended with an unstoppable pressure, smashing down toward the estate.
"A A giant?!"
Everyone stood there in shock, but they snapped back fast.
"Run for your lives!"
Inside the manor, the mafia members operating the cannons, along with several cadres who were keeping order, turned pale with terror and tried to flee the coming destruction.
But aside from a few who panicked and jumped out windows to their deaths, no one escaped in time.
Because the ANBU member who had become a giant was already crashing down.
Rumble rumble rumble!!!!!
A deafening roar tore through the night. The ground shook violently. Buildings collapsed one after another. Rubble flew everywhere, crushing mafia members around the manor who had no time to dodge.
In the blink of an eye, the entire estate became a wasteland of ruins. Everyone inside it died. No exceptions.
At the same time, massive dust and smoke shot into the sky, and a powerful shockwave blasted the mafia outside the manor, sending them staggering in every direction.
Boom!
Another burst of white smoke exploded. Under countless disbelieving eyes, the giant that had crushed the manor vanished instantly, leaving only a wrecked field of rubble behind.
Around the ruins, all the mafia members looked like corpses, terrified out of their minds.
The Gambino family's headquarters had been completely destroyed just like that.
"Boss This"
The remaining seven or eight cadres stared at the ruins. Even Milan and Clyde swallowed hard, their hearts filled with fear and lingering dread.
Thinking back to what had just happened, even with their strength, if they had been inside that manor, they would have died without a doubt. There would have been no chance to live.
Ante's face twisted into something terrifying. His eyes swept over the ruins, then over the mafia around him, and a raging killing intent and endless fury ignited within them.
Since the day the Gambino family was founded, they had weathered countless storms. Even when facing the other two major forces, even when being hunted by the Navy, they had never taken a blow this brutal.
But today, they had suffered an unprecedented disaster, and worse, they had not even caught a glimpse of the enemy.
"Kill them! Even if we have to dig three feet into the ground, find them! Leave none alive. Wipe them all out!" Ante practically spat the words through clenched teeth, each one dripping with hatred.
But before they could even move
"Earth Style: Earth Dragon Bullet!"
"Fire Style: Phoenix Sage Fire!"
"Lightning Style: Ground Flow!"
From the darkness, a series of low, commanding shouts rang out. Then, before the mafia could react, a sudden disaster crashed down on them.
