Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 197 Where Are My Men The situation was critical now because once the treasure was discovered, there was a risk of exposure. Not a single mercenary could be kept alive.

Moreover, if Calista had died, the people she had sent out would have already spread the news. If someone got there before him, then the treasure could very well end up in someone else's hands.

He hastily instructed the pilot to turn the plane around. At the stime, he contacted the government of Corleon, applying for a passage permit. The thought of the mercenaries already at the entrance of the treasure made him wish he could be there the very next second.

After hanging up the phone, Callahan asked Calista curiously, "Is there anything special about this cave?" Calista chuckled. "Of course. Levi, show him around." Levi quickly donned the hood of his protective suit. It was then that the group of mercenaries realized that beneath their regular clothes, they were all actually wearing full-body protective suits. In order to uncover the truth, Callahan also put on a protective suit and joined Levi, leaving only two groups outside in a standoff. Jarrett observed everything closely and said softly to Calista in Chanaean, "You really don't let any potential ally slip away, do you?" Calista glanced at the group of mercenaries and flashed a grin. "I'm quite poor, so my money isn't that easy to get." These mercenaries wanted money, so they had to first duke it out with Sterling.

After Callahan had taken a look, he quickly stepped out. As soon as he emerged, the people around Calista immediately went over to him and thoroughly sanitized him from head to toe.

It took Callahan a while before he dared to remove his mask. His face was filled with lingering fear. Seeing the bodies scattered on the ground and the terrifying crystallization of the K Virus, Callahan was fully convinced that Calista truly intended to let Sterling experience the taste of the K Virus.

"Did you see it?" Calista's smile, though beautiful under the dim light, sent a chill down Callahan's spine.

"I did," Callahan said, swiftly discarding his protective gear. "Regardless, for the sake of our partnership, I don't like the idea of Sterling being alive." "Don't worry. This is exactly what I want too." Callahan saw Calista smiling very naturally. Feeling uneasy, he went to tell to his buddies that they must be careful later to keep their distance from that cave.

They had assumed there must be something valuable involved, given Sterling's interest. Yet, they never expected it to turn out to be the K Virus. The preferences of the wealthy were indeed peculiar.

When Sterling arrived, guided by someone, he easily reached the entrance. He was anxious, but he made sure not to show it. Seeing the mercenaries at the door, he asked, "No one has passed through here in the last hour, right?" "No. I've been here all along." He obediently followed Callahan's orders and added, "We've killed her. You can enter and see for yourself. What about the rest of the money?" Sterling laughed. "I'll give it to you right now." After he finished speaking, his assistants from behind brought over two large boxes. The moment the two mercenaries opened them and saw stacks of money, smiles spread across their faces.

They hadn't done much on this trip, yet they managed to earn a hefty sum of money. It was certainly worth it.

As they were holding the box, two silent figures approached. Sensing danger, they barely had tto lift their heads before each was taken down by a single gunshot.

With the silencer, the sound wasn't loud. After two people were killed, a dozen more emerged from the woods. Now, Sterling was followed by over twenty bodyguards, each armed with a gun, silently infiltrating the area.

"They're here," Calista announced, her exceptional hearing alerting her before anyone else. She turned to Callahan I've already told you everything you need to know. Once you've finished your negotiations, you can leave. Everything that happens after is not your concern anymore." Callahan found it odd. "They're here? But my people haven't sent any news." But as soon as he looked up, Calista and the others had already led people inside.

Callahan recalled what his subordinate had mentioned earlier that Sterling had only brought along five or six men. They were hardly a threat. Yet, they had learned from past experiences, so they held onto their guns tightly.

Sure enough, it wasn't long before they spotted Sterling and his companions.

"Wait. Where are my men?" Callahan suddenly becalert. The men he had sent out were surprisingly not with Sterling when he entered.

Sterling, clad in a sleek black suit, exuded an ominous aura. He sneered, "Why would I hand over the money so easily when I haven't seen Calista's body yet? I've already detained your men. Once I see the body, I'll return your men to you."

Callahan felt suspicious when suddenly, someone beside him leaned in and said, "The heat m signatures of Trey and Jim have stopped moving, and according to the readings on the device, their heat signatures are fading." In other words, those two individuals had already passed away.

"You killed my men? Why?" The moment Callahan uttered these om words, the men behind him raised their guns. Suddenly, they realized that Sterling was trying to betray them.

Sterling hadn't expected this group to be carrying such things. It looks like there's no way to keep it hidden any E longer. They should all die!
