Chapter 199 It Was JarrettĀ
Without a moment to catch his breath, Callahan hurried back with the remaining four of his comrades hoping to find survivors among the rest.Ā
Quickly, he let out a small sigh of relief. They were all wearing bulletproof vests, so unless they were shot in the head, their injuries were relatively minor. Indeed, he managed to find his comrades who were still alive.Ā
Even then, out of the fourteen people under Callahanās command, only seven remained. The mortality rate of fifty percent was clear evidence of the brutality of his line of work.Ā
Having seen the hardships they had just gone through, Jarrett generously sent over their payment.Ā
Callahanās men, supporting each other, left the area, leaving only Callahan behind. He was covered in blood, wearily looking at Jarrett and his, who were virtually unscathed.Ā
āEven though I felt somewhat used, I still need to express my gratitude to you. Please, you must eliminate that b*stard, Sterling. Heās responsible for the deaths of my seven comrades!āĀ
With a serious expression, Jarrett assured, āDonāt worry. This is the last youāve seen of him.āĀ
Callahan cast a deep gaze into the depths of the cave, then asked, āCan I know whatās really in there? If itās just the K virus, then Sterlingās reaction doesnāt make sense.āĀ
āIf curiosity is what drives you, remember that it killed the cat. If youāre thinking of trading this information for money, well⦠the outcome will only be tragic.āĀ
Calista walked out with a smile, clad in black and her hair tied in a ponytail. She appeared formidable. yet fragile, her delicate features making her look like a stunning statue. Yet, her gaze was akin to that of the Grim Reaper, carrying a subtle yet undeniable hint of murderous intent.Ā
āI understand nowā¦ā Callahanās lips had turned a bit pale as he quickly walked out. From that day forward, he would never underestimate any girl who looked frail.Ā
Blood stains marred Calistaās face, though it was unclear when they had splattered there. Against her skin, as white and smooth as snow, they made for a gruesome sight.Ā
Originally, Jarrett wanted to reach out and wipe it off, but the aura surrounding Calista was incredibly hostile. Particularly in this dimly lit space, she resembled a glowing, bloodthirsty angel. Even her smile had a murderous edge.Ā
āWhatās wrong?ā Calista noticed his gaze and reached up to wipe her face. Accidentally, her fingers smeared the blood on her check, creating a startling contrast. The vivid hue of blood made her face stunningly beautiful in that moment.Ā
Jarrett found his breath growing somewhat ragged. He reached for his cigarette case, only to realize he hadĀ
left it behind.Ā
Calista glanced at her hand and flashed a smile. āOh, it seems Iāve gotten some blood on me.āĀ
Her luscious red lips and pristine white teeth slowly unveiled, almost causing Jarrett to flee in panic.Ā
āIām going to check if Sterling is dead yet!āĀ

Calista watched his retreating figure, tilting her head slightly. She didnāt follow Him. Instead, she sent a message to DerekĀ
We can now gather all of the Fairchild familyās forces in Corleon. The item I want must be obtained without anyĀ
Given the significant mobilization of forces, all members of the Fairchild family in Corleon had to seek approval from Kallum. Upon receiving the news that Calista required so many people, Kallumās first reaction was to worry if she had been injured.Ā
So, without a second thought, Kallum approved it and gave his instructions.Ā
āLock in her position; weāre heading there too. Be quick about it!āĀ
Quintus promptly nodded. āYes, Mr. Kallum.āĀ
At that moment, he could never have imagined that it wasnāt Calista who was hurt but rather Sterling.Ā
Sterlingās face was ashen, a picture of utter despair. One misstep had led to a lifetime of regret. He never anticipated that a single moment of negligence would land him in a predicament with no way out.Ā
āBoss, what do we do? Waylon is done for!āĀ
Before the man could finish his words, Waylon staggered a few steps before dying on the spot.Ā
The surroundings were eerily quiet, the only sound being the fearful breaths that felt suffocating.Ā
Their escape route was blocked, and ahead lay a laboratory teeming with viruses. The first person who ventured in rushed out in less than a minute, only to start running a fever shortly after. Within minutes, they were dead.Ā
At this point, only Sterling and his four loyal subordinates were left alive.Ā
The unseen virus had traumatized them. Coupled with the fact that there were people guarding outside, they were subjected to both physical and mental torment. Each one of them was on edge, about to mentally break down at the slightest trigger.Ā
This time, Sterling brought along those he trusted the most. If they were to die, then his own demise. wouldnāt be far off.Ā
At that moment, an insidious voice echoed.Ā
āHow pitiful. Do you wish to live? Beg me, and I might consider showing you mercy.āĀ
At last, Sterling recognized who it was. Gripped by hysteria, he cried out, āJarrett, itās you!āĀ
Or rather, it was just as expected. Obviously, only Jarrett would be bold enough to assist Calista. Not only were they close friends, but Jarrett would stand to gain the most with Sterlingās death.Ā
Jarrett no longer appeared as flustered as he had been in front of Calista. Donning his glasses and dressed impeccably, he stood there in a relaxed manner. If he had a glass of wine in hand, he looked as if he could easily blend into any social gathering.Ā
Sterling forced himself to stay calm. Gritting his teeth, he said, āJarrett, are you really going to help Calista kill me? Do you know whatās behind this cave? Itās the treasure left behind by Uriah, worth over ten billiontĀ
