Chapter 413 Where Is Kallum
Once the preparations were complete and Shaun had reassured him that Calista’s injuries would be attended to and her safety ensured, Kallum allowed himself a moment of relief.
“Mr. Kallum…” Ryder began, hoping to offer some comforting words to his boss, but Kallum stopped him mid–sentence.
Methodically loading his pistol, Kallum spoke in a voice eerily serene, betraying none of the storm brewing inside him.
“Don’t say a word,” he commanded as he cocked the gun, his gaze piercing through the darkness of the surrounding forest. His violet eyes seemed to flash with an intensity like a bolt of lightning slicing through the night. “Right now, I have only one thing on my mind–to make that cursed rat from Lostaria thousand times over for what he’s done.” S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Meanwhile, Kiefer, who had long been adept at eluding international capture, had managed to evade the agents sent after him by the nation. However, the news of Calista’s capture and her subsequent quarantine had infuriated him to the point of physically smashing his phone down and furiously condemning his subordinates.
How could over a hundred of my men, seasoned fighters all, fail to secure a single woman? Especially a woman already weakened by a virus!
Such a humiliating defeat could provide fodder for his rivals‘ mockery for years, assuming he survived long enough to hear it.
Without Calista as leverage, how was he to control Kallum? Particularly now, as Kallum seemed to possess an uncanny ability to track him down relentlessly. If this continued, Kiefer feared his demise was certain.
“Boss, the cave entrance is just ahead. Maybe we should back off this time. If we survive, there’s always another chance,” suggested a short–statured Lostarian man standing beside Kiefer, speaking in his native Ads by PubFuture
tongue.
Though Kiefer was reluctant, knowing that survival was his priority, he conceded, “Fine, let’s go.”
But as they made their move, they were suddenly engulfed by a surge of smoke and flames, propelled forward by a gust of wind that intensified the blaze.
Kiefer’s instincts screamed at him that this was no accident but perhaps a trap. Changing direction, he attempted to evade what he felt might be a guided threat.
As the flames grew, trapping them, one of his men spotted a potential escape route. “Boss! Over here. there’s a stream!”
Thinking quickly and with few options, Kiefer led his men toward the water, only to spot a figure waiting for them in the distance.
As the flames cast a terrifying glow behind them and the lone figure ahead seemed ominously calm.
Kiefer’s heart sank..
Ryder, standing by the stream, smirked slightly. “After a night’s effort, we’ve finally cornered the rats! Now, where do you think you’re going?”

he’d assumed had been left behind in the chase.
He wanted to escape, but he was surrounded by fire on three sides.
Determined to fight through, Kiefer faced the crowd, ready to carve a path to freedom, but behind Ryder awaited a large group of armed forces, perfectly positioned to capture him.
Kiefer made up his mind to confront them head–on, but at that moment, his mind was elsewhere. “Where is Kallum? Summon him to see me!” Kiefer demanded, his grasp of Chanacan rough but his tone defiant.
Ryder couldn’t help but laugh. “You’re not even worth Mr. Kallum lifting a finger.”
“Could it be that he’s not here?” Kiefer blanched, realizing the gravity of his situation.
After all, he was a fugitive on the run from thirteen different nations, and had dedicated half of the night strategizing against Kallum. Now, at this defining moment, Kallum was nowhere to be found. Was he not deemed significant enough for Kallum to personally make an appearance?
“So, Kallum is a coward, afraid I might kill him?” Kiefer spat out the words bitterly.
Ryder looked at him with a mix of pity and disdain. “In Mr. Kallum’s eyes, you couldn’t compare to a single finger of Ms. Calista… Besides, what’s the point in meeting someone who’s about to die?”
Upon his command, coupled with the furious orders from Kiefer, the two sides clashed violently. However, this single encounter had already sealed their fate.
Elsewhere, upon hearing the distant gunshot, Kallum paused but did not look back. His thoughts were solely on Calista. She was injured, and she needed him. Gunner, waiting by the car, quickly briefed Kallum on the state of unrest in the city. Ads by PubFuture
“City Hall is surrounded, and the phones are ringing non–stop. The public is anxious, the government is urging you to make a statement to calm everyone down,” Gunner relayed urgently. “Mr. Walter called; he’s done what he can, but it’s not enough. He suggests distancing from Ms. Stafford after dealing with Kiefer, then meeting to strategize further. The shareholders are aware of Ms. Stafford’s involvement and are waiting for your leadership. Also, the military has requested you call them back regarding Kiefer…”
Gunner’s report was rapid and filled with the urgency of the situation, ending with a critical question, “So, Mr. Kallum, where do we go from here?”
