Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 188

Rupert, wise beyond his years, confidently stated, “I know where my dad usually goes. I'll take you there.”

Calista nodded and took her leave after setting the time. Once outside, she turned to Derek and instructed, “Stay here. If anyone comes looking for trouble, chase them away immediately.”

“Got it.” Derek didn't utter a single word of nonsense and just stayed right there.

Levi was an astute individual. Upon seeing Calista claiming to be visiting to inquire about the patients' conditions, yet asking all sorts of unrelated questions, he deduced that her stated reason for coming to Jeahron was a cover for other motives.

“You're curious, aren't you?” Calista asked him.

“I wouldn't dare.” Levi was a rather slick individual, and he was in his late thirties or early forties. His curiosity had all but faded.

Calista chuckled. “Corleon and Lostaria share a border, right? If I'm not mistaken, a year ago after Kallum killed Uriah, he must have received a considerable amount of money, correct?”

Levi nodded. “That was Uriah's hideout. He did receive a considerable sum.”

“Kallum fell ill because Uriah secretly researched the K Virus. So, when you guys seized the supplies, did you find anything related to the K Virus there?”

Levi was momentarily stunned before he shook his head. “No.”

Calista narrowed her eyes and said, “Considering a mad cultist who'd risk the lives of two thousand people to feed a virus, do you think he would merely dabble with the K Virus? They've even extracted the Influenza T virus from the K Virus. So, can I suspect that he has more than one hideout, and that somewhere else, he's stashed something related to the K Virus?”

Levi immediately caught on, his eyes slightly widened at that moment. In a hushed voice, he asked, “Are you suggesting that the first person to fall ill had inadvertently visited the hideout left behind by Uriah and brought the K Virus to Jeahron?”

Calista nodded. “Yes, I think that's a pretty accurate guess. After all, a wise man always has a plan B. Considering this is a neighboring country of Lostaria, it's impossible that Uriah wouldn't have left himself an escape route.”

Levi looked at the calm Calista in shock. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it could be possible.

Before they arrived, everyone had perceived this place as a small city suddenly affected by the virus. But Calista had deduced such terrifying information from just a few clues. If all of this were true, it would make her incredibly formidable.

If it were just this bit of information, Calista wouldn't have been so sure. But the moment she thought of how Sterling had made a fortune here in her past life and narrowly escaped a disaster, she felt that her speculation was already very close to the truth.

After all, Sterling had collaborated with Uriah in the past, so he must have received some information. However, he wasn't sure about the exact location, which was why he had been searching for a long time.

And she, seizing the opportunity, had arrived here first. She would subtly leak some information to him, luring him over. When the time came, with her intentions against his obliviousness, it would be easy for her to present Sterling with a spectacular ending.

Moreover, she would be able to amass a substantial fortune, making the journey utterly worthwhile.
