Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 274

Even so, all eyes were still fixed on him. Howard personally took the disease detector from the assistant prosecutor and used pre-prepared blood samples to publicly test its accuracy.

“This is infected blood, and this is normal blood.” Howard introduced the two bowls of blood in front of him with a serious expression and then used the disease detector to test them.

The infected blood made the detector glow red, while the normal blood made it glow green.

After confirming the detector was working correctly, Howard carefully sterilized it and said to Kallum, “Mr. Kallum, my apologies.”

However, Kallum refused the blood collection needle handed to him. With a flick of his finger, an exquisite, gem-encrusted knife appeared at his fingertips.

Slowly, he made a small cut on his fair fingertip, and immediately, blood droplets started to emerge. Howard handed him the disease detector, while Ryder offered a bowl of water on the other side.

“Wait! I object!” Harvey hurriedly stood up. “There's definitely something wrong with that water! Last time, Kallum used special water to deceive everyone right before their eyes!”

His adamant words made Kallum raise an eyebrow in displeasure. “Are you saying that if I do not use this water and directly test my blood, you'll believe the results?”

He glanced disdainfully at the detector in his hand. “So, you want me to touch my own finger with this detector that is just been exposed to the infected blood?”

“You are scared, aren't you?” Harvey, not understanding Kallum's intentions and seeing him hesitate, grew agitated.

Kallum gave him a mocking look, and Calista stepped forward, drinking the purified water from the bowl in one gulp. She laughed mockingly, “There, no more water. I hope you will not make more baseless claims when the test results come out, Mr. Wolford. One should know their place. Right now, you are not in a position to make too many demands.”

Seeing Calista drink the water, Harvey knew it was safe. He felt increasingly uneasy, unsure of Kallum's next move.

Controlled by the bodyguards, he was forced to sit back down, while others cast looks of mild disdain his way. If it weren't for the formal setting, the Fairchild family might have thrown him out already.

Kallum did not hesitate further. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he slowly brought the detector closer to his bleeding fingertip. At that moment, a dark glint flickered in his eyes.

Outwardly, his demeanor was as casual as ever, as if this press conference was just a routine formality.

Harvey's heart skipped a beat under Howard's displeased gaze, but he could not afford to care. If he could not bring Kallum down, he'd be dead by tomorrow! Fear had no place now. He could only grit his teeth and shout, “Who knows? Your family has ties with the Fairchild family. Who knows if Kallum bribed you to...”

“If you continue spouting nonsense, I'll have you arrested for slander!”

Howard's cold words silenced Harvey. Sweat poured from his forehead as the bodyguards tightened their grip, but his defiant eyes darted between Howard and Kallum, seeking any opportunity.

Seeing Harvey's defiance falter, Aaron Murray, the head of the Murray family suddenly laughed. Surrounded by reporters and the crowd, he appeared calm and vigorous.

“It seems everyone is quite unconvinced...”

At his words, Calista and Kallum exchanged a subtle glance. Here it comes!

Aaron continued nonchalantly, “It is understandable for people to be skeptical about malfunctioning devices. And Mr. Kallum is here today to clear his name, isn't he? So what harm in taking an extra step or two?”
