Chapter 408 Reap A Significant Harvest
Kurt, overhearing their hushed conversation, interrupted with a sense of urgency, “Now, it’s time for you to hand her over to me.”
Although his group had disarmed, their presence alone was a formidable force; they were unafraid and ready for conflict.
“Make your choice, Mr. Ingram,” Calista said, her calm voice causing a bead of sweat to form on Horatio’s forehead. Should he flee, or should he stay?
Leaving might temporarily save his life. Staying, as long as Calista was by his side, seemed less perilous. He had committed fully to this course of action; abandoning it now would leave him with nothing.
Thus, Horatio clenched his teeth and declared, “Enough with the nonsense, didn’t you say you could take them down? Stop wasting words and get to it!”
A flicker of pity passed through Calista’s eyes as she responded, “You’re truly pitiful.”
Before she could finish, Kurt’s hand moved toward his waist, his tone carrying a subtle but clear threat, “Quit playing games; you won’t be able to escape!”
At this, Levi became highly tense. “What do we do? Ms. Calista is about to fall into Kiefer’s hands! If we don’t act now, it’ll be too late!”
Quintus restrained him, urging patience, “Don’t rush, wait a little longer! Just a bit more!”
Wait some more?
Horatio pointed his gun at Calista’s head, his palms slick with cold sweat. His heart pounded so fiercely he struggled to breathe.
Everything depends on Calista now. Whether I sink or swim is entirely up to her.
Meanwhile, Kurt’s impatience was evident as he and his men edged closer, reducing the distance second by second.
Suddenly, Calista exhaled a long sigh of relief, “Very well, now the game is over.” As she spoke, she discreetly activated a small remote control hidden in her hand. The moment Kurt noticed the remote, his pupils shrank in alarm!
She pressed the button, and instinctively, everyone ducked. Explosions erupted, sounding as though they came from beneath the ground, yet causing no visible disruption on the surface.
When Kurt heard the explosions, he moved swiftly toward Calista. However, she was quicker, using a sudden movement to toss Horatio into Kurt’s path, momentarily blocking him. As Kurt tried to recover and charge again, a bomb had exploded between him and Calista.
In an instant, amidst a storm of dust and debris, it felt as though the earth itself was rebelling.
As the dust settled, Kurt and his men, though shocked and disoriented, found themselves unharmed.

Kurt burst into laughter, relieved. “What’s the point of burying it so well? I’ve always said, women can be so foolish!” Confidently, he reached out toward Calista, declaring, “You’re mine now!”
But Calista merely met his advance with a cold stare. Suddenly, the ground beneath them gave way.
What’s going on? The ground is collapsing
The ground beneath Kurt and his men left a gaping hole that swallowed him and the rocks around him in a sudden, violent collapse. He had been standing about seven meters from Calista, and as the ground opened up, he struggled to bridge the gap, but a massive section of earth crumbled right before him, plunging him downward at the last moment.
What’s going on here? How can there be an underground cavity!
Amidst the confusion, everyone pondered the same question, but no answers were forthcoming.
With Kurt’s forces gathered in one place, the explosion had caused the majority to fall into the newly revealed pit. Quintus and the others, initially bracing for a fierce fight, found themselves staring down at their adversaries struggling in the water–filled pit below.
