Chapter 426 Calista Speaks
Before Kallum could even utter a word, a cold and clear female voice sounded.
“The President granted me three days. After those three days, everything would become clear.

Calista gradually approached, and the moment she spoke, Kallum was reaching out to assist her as if she were someone fragile.
Everyone who saw Calista at that moment couldn’t help but sigh. She looked terrible; not a single part of her body was unscathed.
However, for the relatives who had unjustly suffered, their feelings toward her were even more complex. Regardless of whether Calista was a victim or not, they firmly believed that it was Calista who had brought misfortune upon their loved ones.
So, when Calista stepped up, the crowd below became considerably emotional. Thanks to the groundwork laid earlier, they all knew Calista was their only hope at the moment, which was why they refrained from acting recklessly.
As soon as Calista made her appearance, the sound of the reporters‘ cameras clicking away filled the air.
Someone asked, “Ms. Stafford, you mentioned that the President gave you three days. If you fail, will those infected die?”
Before Calista could reply, Kallum spoke on her behalf. Ads by PubFuture
“It’s not impossible. We can definitely achieve it.”
But the reporter stubbornly asked, “What if you can’t?”
Calista stopped Kallum, her face, marred with scars, was resolute as she spoke. “If it can’t be done, those people won’t die. The recovery process will just be a bit more challenging. As for me, I’m willing to accept any punishment.”
“Does that include death?” A haggard–looking woman suddenly asked. As all eyes turned to her, she trembled from suppressed emotions, crying out, “Am I wrong? Because of her, my mother has to endure such a calamity in her old age. Why shouldn’t she die?”
Her words were undeniably true, this situation was difficult for anyone to endure.
Kallum was about to speak when Calista silenced him, her face calm and composed.
“You’re right. It’s only fair to pay a life for a life.”
Her words stirred quite a commotion, Kallum furrowed his brows, moving her behind him protectively, and spoke solemnly.
“Rest assured, everyone, all consequences resulting from this matter will be solely borne by the Fairchild family! For hundreds of years, our word has been our bond! In three days, if this matter is resolved smoothly, my family will provide additional compensation. Even if there are minor mishaps, I will resolve it to your satisfaction!”
At that moment, Kallum’s and Calista’s unwavering confidence somewhat pacified the crowd’s anger.

Fairchild family held significant power and wealth, the crowd was not worried about them shirking their responsibilities.
After he had momentarily appeased the public’s discontent, Kallum’s pledge became the focus of worldwide attention within a few hours. As a result, the entire world was watching the issue closely.
“Is it arrogance or a stalling tactic?” This was the question posed when Kallum claimed that his fiancée would decode the K virus within three days.
After all, Calista was only twenty years old, and there was little to support her confidence.
Many wondered if this was a high–stakes gamble or a sure win? All they could do was wait and see.
Upon seeing the flurry of news reports, many foreign experts scoffed. With the assistance of the President of Chanaea, the fact that Calista had developed a serum was deliberately concealed. As a result, most people believed that Calista had made a rash promise only after causing such a major crisis.
In an interview, a renowned expert jokingly remarked, “If a twenty–year–old girl manages to conquer the K virus, then we all might as well pack up and go home.”
Those more informed knew that Calista had once developed a serum capable of extending the lifespan of patients suffering from the K virus. However, this shouldn’t have been the reason for her overconfidence. Someone who acted recklessly after gaining a little success was bound to fail.
More influential individuals knew that Calista had introduced a new type of antibody. With its release, over a hundred lives were saved. They consequently held great admiration for her.
While they were impressed, they were also anxious about the three–day deadline. Even with such achievements, solving such a huge problem in just three days seemed a bit too much. Ads by PubFuture
However, nations that had been tormented by the K virus were hoping that all of this was true. If they could completely rid themselves of this virus, then life would improve greatly for many countries.
Therefore, a significant number of people in different countries were praying. They even petitioned, prayed, and sent wishes online, hoping that God had seen their suffering and sent an angel to rescue them.
They didn’t concern themselves with what had prompted Calista to utter such words, but they sincerely hoped for Calista’s success, and made a point to remember the name of this individual from Chanaca.

Carrying everyone’s hopes, Calista returned and immediately locked herself up in the laboratory.
The antiserum was right in front of her. The one that Kallum had previously been administered was unstable, with a failure rate that could be said to be as high as fifty percent. It was only due to Kallum’s consistent streak of good luck that no issues had arisen.
The modified serum demonstrated enhanced stability, yet its side effects were significantly more severe. Upon injection, it would obliterate all diseased cells within the body in one fell swoop. Amidst the viral counterattack and the potency of the drug clashing, the data suggested that this drug could potentially cause unbearable pain, leading to death, even without anyone having tried it.
Therefore, Calista wondered how she was to go about modifying the physical defects of the antidote.
