Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 195

Sterling's eyes narrowed. “I offended Kallum because of Calista. If it weren't for Quincy and Yelena's foolish actions, I wouldn't have upset her, let alone get on Kallum's wrong side.”

The underlying message was that all the trouble was caused by Harvey's woman and good-for-nothing daughter.

Harvey paused briefly, and eventually, his irritation became evident. “If I don't see the money by this week, you can forget about being the general manager.”

After speaking, he abruptly ended the call.

Sterling was so infuriated that he smashed his phone. He stood up, forcing himself to remain calm.

On the plane, as he watched the land below drawing ever closer, he finally felt a sense of relief.

“Kallum, Calista, you both just wait. And that old geezer, refusing to make me his heir, serves him right for not having a son his entire life.”

Sterling had already made up his mind. As soon as he got the money, he planned to give half of it to that person. He was sure he could dodge a bullet this way. The remaining money would be used to fill the ever-growing void, and the crisis would be completely resolved. As long as he got that sum of money, all problems would cease to exist.

At that moment, he received a message.

“You're saying Calista is also in Jeahron? What about Kallum?”

The assistant, having witnessed Sterling smash his phone, shrank back a little. “Kallum isn't here, but Calista is. She came here with a special support medical team because of the K Virus outbreak that happened a while ago. They're probably here for research, aiming to gain some fame.”

This is the worst possible timing. They must be doing this on purpose. But it can't be. After making several inquiries, I only recently received reliable news confirming that the place Uriah mentioned is indeed in Corleon. There is no way Calista could have known about it before I did.

It must be a coincidence...

After much thought, Sterling sneered, “Well, it's good that she's here. Considering they ventured into such a dangerous area, it wouldn't be surprising if they contracted the virus and died. The K Virus? It's quite a fitting way to die.”

Calista was oblivious to the malice Sterling harbored toward her once again. At that moment, she was busy assisting the experts in administering medicine here, observing the reactions.

After consuming the oatmeal laced with medicine, these patients appeared to be much more spirited. However, due to their pain, they spent most of their time groaning. When they were all together, the sound was quite disturbing and agitating.

At that moment, the rumbling sound of cars echoed. A group of people were about to enter the city. However, they were all incredibly arrogant, quite unlike the people who had come and gone before.

Vehicles couldn't traverse this area; they could only enter. In other words, these people had specifically journeyed here from the outside.

When the group of people passed by, one of them suddenly took notice of Calista and walked toward her.

“It sounds quite fun, but we have an old saying in Chanaea. I'm not sure if you've heard of it.”

The burly man, who was leading the group, flashed a grin, revealing his white teeth. “What is it? Let's hear it.”

“The saying goes, don't pursue a narrow gain while neglecting a greater danger.” Jarrett's voice suddenly echoed from behind them. As they turned around, they found themselves at the business end of thirty guns.

The aggressor's face changed instantly. He rushed toward Calista, wanting to use her as a hostage. However, Calista had been prepared since the moment Jarrett spoke. As the man attempted to strangle her, she was one step ahead, inserting a needle into his neck. Although it only paralyzed him for a few seconds, it was enough time for a well-trained mercenary to fall into her hands.

“I think we can have a proper conversation now. What do you say?”

With each word Calista uttered, she tapped his temple with a gun, her smile never wavering from start to finish.

The assassins sent by Sterling never anticipated that their boss would be instantly taken down by a woman who, at first glance, seemed incapable of even hurting a fly.

The man that Calista held at gunpoint couldn't help but bend his knees. He was taller than Calista, but at that moment, she had him in a chokehold, which was truly humiliating for him.

“What do you want?” The burly man was named Callahan. He had carefully chosen his moment to arrive, making sure that both Calista's people and the army were not around. However, they were unaware of the wildcard that was Jarrett. He had been parachuted in directly under special orders. The plane was able to land but couldn't depart. It was still parked on the mountain.
