“Why should I listen to someone who's about to be locked up in jail, acting like a rabid dog, biting at anyone in sight?”
Kallum frowned, his expression revealing his discontent. “Callie, let's go,” he said. “Let him say whatever he wants. Anyone who would believe him is probably as crazy as he is.”
Suppressing the odd sensation, Calista gave a slight nod.
Despite her efforts, she still couldn't figure out how Sterling had managed to dodge a bullet and avoid infection.
Before she arrived, she had considered the possibility that Sterling might be, like her, an asymptomatic carrier. But observing his demeanor, she dismissed that possibility due to the lack of physical discomfort,
However, since Sterling was going to jail anyway, any questions she had could be asked later. It was best not to linger in this place for too long.
“You're leaving?” Sterling finally broke the silence, smiling as a hint of madness flashed in his eyes.
“I've planted a bomb here. If you take another step, we're all going to die together. You've pushed me this far, I don't even want to live anymore!”
His words sent shockwaves through the crowd! A bomb? Did Sterling actually intend to kill them all?
“Quiet!” Sterling's hand slid over a remote control. “Make another noise, and I'll press it!”
His expression didn't seem feigned, he genuinely wanted to take everyone down with him!
Calista looked at Kallum with a stern expression. However, Kallum was well-prepared for all of this. The people he had arranged beforehand had already infiltrated the Wolford residence. Even if there were explosives, dismantling them was only a matter of time. Hence, both of them remained composed.
Upon seeing that Kallum remained silent, everyone else also calmed down. However, they were still filled with a mix of fear and anger!
“Sterling! Have you lost your mind? We trusted you. That's why we came. How could you even think of blowing us up?”
“How could you do such a horrifying thing? My child is still at home waiting for me...”
“Drop the remote now! If you don't want to end up in jail, we're all friends here, we can find a way out for you. You don't have to go down this path alone.”
“Jerk! You'll go to hell for doing this!”
Upon hearing the surrounding persuasions and insults, Sterling laughed in triumph. Everyone was focused on him, everyone despised him, yet they were powerless against him. At that moment, he was the man in charge! These people were nothing but ants to him!
He toyed with the remote control. “It seems you are truly courting death.”
The deep, resonating voice of Sterling finally managed to calm them all down. Some tried to subtly edge toward the entrance, only to find that all the doors and windows of the hall had been securely locked!
