Her Rebirth of Retribution novel Chapter 196

“What do I want? It's simple. I just want to ask you a few questions.” Calista laughed in his ear. “What's the purpose of Sterling sending you here? To kill me?”

The situation was pressing. Callahan took a moment to think before deciding to tell the harsh truth. “He wishes for you to contract the K Virus and die here.” He had thought that this would be a simple task.

A fierce glint flashed in Calista's eyes. “What a fitting end. On this, we truly see eye to eye.”

Eye to eye? Is this woman trying to make Sterling sick too?

Upon thinking of Jarrett's sudden appearance, Callahan realized that Sterling was likely to fail this time because Calista was clearly prepared and deliberately waiting for him.

“All you're after is money, isn't it? How much did Sterling pay you for my life?”

Callahan swallowed nervously. “A hundred million.”

Calista raised her eyebrows slightly. “It seems I'm quite valuable.” She chuckled. “I've made a fortune recently. How about I give you a hundred million for a little white lie?”

The rest of the mercenaries exchanged glances, unable to believe what they had just heard.

They had thought that spending a hundred million to harm a woman was already an exorbitant price. Yet, she was even more outrageous, offering them a hundred million to lie.

Calista released Callahan, yet Jarrett's gun remained pointed at him. Callahan's muscles were tense throughout his body, but due to the allure of Calista's proposition, he didn't make any rash moves.

“Are you being serious?” People like them, who lived on the edge, could do anything for money. As for the issue of credibility, if this woman in front of them succeeded, Sterling would meet his end right here. So, what credibility crisis could there possibly be?

Even if Sterling were to win, they would still gain two hundred million. They could simply move to another country and start their lives anew.

“I don't usually lie,” Calista said with a light laugh. “What I need you to do is quite simple. Just accompany me up the mountain, then tell Sterling that you followed me to a cave on the mountain. You were discovered and had no choice but to shoot me. As for what he asks you to do next, just go along with it.”

Callahan thought it sounded easy. From her words, it appeared as though she wanted him to lure Sterling into a trap she had meticulously prepared.

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, he exchanged a glance with his companion, then extended his hand toward Calista.

“All right, we're taking this deal.”
