During the capture, Horatio was indifferent to whether Calista would get hurt. As long as she was still breathing, that was enough. After all, trying to bring someone in unscathed was fraught with risks. It was better to let go and give it his all. The chances of capturing her were higher that way.
Moreover, Calista had been severely injured, which served to intimidate others...
What he never expected was that the woman he completely disregarded was the very one he had been searching for.
After conducting his investigation, Kallum had confirmed who was responsible. Even though he was itching to confront Horatio, he chose to suppress his murderous intent in light of Calista's safety. He then dialed Horatio's number.
Prior to this, Horatio's condition wasn't much better either.
He waited anxiously, hooked up to an IV, for the Fairchild family's response. Calista hadn't been caught yet, which only served to fuel his impatience.
At that moment, he received a call from his dispatched men. They informed him that due to Calista, they were now surrounded by the Fairchild family.
Horatio narrowed his eyes. Kallum's actions further confirmed his care for that woman. Therefore, he slowly stated, “As long as you capture that woman, Kallum won't dare to harm you. Now, you have no way out.”
Those people thought about it. Even if they surrendered now, would the Fairchild family let them off the hook? It seemed better to capture Calista, complete the deal, and escape overseas with the money.
With this in mind, they became even more determined in their search for her.
Calista had initially planned to hide up in the tree, but she never anticipated that the other party would have a heat sensor in their possession.
She was nearly captured. Luckily, the thick fog had been her saving grace, allowing her to narrowly escape death. However, her left arm had grazed a bullet.
At that moment, she was leaning against a large tree, tending to her wounds while fiddling with the mobile phone she had found.
Thankfully, the phone still had a battery. Unfortunately, it was discarded not only because it was incredibly outdated but also because it could no longer make calls.
Calista made several calls, but all she could hear was the static buzz on the other end. Feeling disheartened, she faced the increasingly dark forest and the relentless pursuer intent on killing her. In her desperation, a glint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes.
If they thought about messing with her, she would definitely teach them a lesson in return.
Horatio was somewhat taken aback when he saw that Kallum was actually calling him. After a moment of thought, he leisurely answered the call.
“Mr. Kallum, have you made up your mind?”
When Kallum heard his words, it seemed as if his cold aura could seep through the phone.
