Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 425

“You greedy bloodsuckers! What right do you have to pry into my finances? So what if a friend suddenly came into wealth and gave me some money to start a business? Don't you dare try to slander me!”

Kallum laughed at his foolishness. “So, you really do have an unexpected sum of money in your account?”

He gestured with his finger. “Take him to the police station. Let them investigate thoroughly.”

“Understood.” At Kallum's command, Derek immediately sprang into action. Ignoring the man's loud protests, he swiftly escorted him away.

Making an example out of someone had proven to be quite effective. However, for those genuinely concerned about the safety of their loved ones, seeing the person in charge still got them all worked up. They couldn't help but become emotional.

“My child has been harmed for no reason. Don't the Fairchild family owe us an explanation?”

“Yeah... My son is only in his twenties and has just earned his medical license, but then...” The old man's voice trailed off into a quiet sob. Even though the incident involved a foreigner, the root cause was tied to the Fairchild family. Therefore, if someone were to be held responsible, it could only be the Fairchild family.

Yet, the current situation was far better than Kallum had anticipated. With a swift hand gesture, he had the offenders on stage escorted away, leaving him alone on stage. As he faced the crowd, the pressure from all sides converged on him as everyone awaited his response.

“I understand how you all feel,” he said. “Like everyone else, I too am in pain because my fiancée, just like your loved ones, is suffering from this virus. But I'm not worried, not because I don't love her, but because I have a solution.”

He pressed the remote and a boy appeared on the large screen behind him. Busy medical staff could be seen in the background. The boy turned his head toward the camera and said, “Mom, my head doesn't hurt anymore. I'm okay now...”

“That's... That's!” The child's family members rushed to the stage. “Is it my son? Is my son alright?!”

Kallum continued to press the button, bringing up several more people on the screen. They were still under observation, but they were able to share good news with their families through the camera.

After receiving the antibody injection brought by the Fairchild family, many of the feverish individuals successfully recovered. Upon hearing this news, Kallum immediately thought to have them record a video as proof. There was no better evidence than them regaining consciousness. After the video was paused, the family members of the patients dropped their protest banners and rushed to the front.

“Where is my daughter? Why isn't my daughter here?”

“Have they really recovered? If they have, why hasn't it been made public?”

“Wasn't it said that if you're infected with the K virus, you're definitely going to die? Are they lying to us?”

Faced with the cacophony, Kallum remained unflustered, slowly beginning to speak. His voice seemed to possess a calming power, gradually silencing the somewhat chaotic scene.

Upon hearing the demands, Kallum suddenly laughed. A determined glint flashed in his eyes.

“That's the reason I insisted on taking her with me yesterday.”

Kallum's words instantly reminded everyone of the reason they had gathered there. They were all there because Kallum had taken the main culprit out of the quarantine zone, which had sparked their indignation and led them to stage a protest.

“Could it be...” someone remarked incredulously after a moment of contemplation.

The next second, Kallum confidently answered, “My fiancée is the most brilliant medical researcher of our time. She has been studying the K virus for two years and is confident that she can defeat it. That's why I was so desperate to get her out of there. She's the only one who can heal the remaining people. Only she can do it!”

In the square, Kallum's voice echoed through the speakers, unexpectedly instilling belief in the crowd. However, the scene was becoming increasingly chaotic. Whether to trust Kallum or not had turned into a conundrum.

A reporter couldn't help but ask, “The K virus takes at most a month from infection to death. Are we supposed to wait for your fiancée for a month?”

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their eager eyes to Kallum. Their focus had shifted away from the matter of Calista being taken away. Faced with the K-virus, they were all at a loss. Suddenly, when someone who claimed to have a solution appeared, they didn't want to let go of this glimmer of hope. However, they feared that this person might be deceiving them.
