Chapter 221 The Special Infected
âDonât worry,â he reassured. âIâm not carrying anything on me, not even a gun. Come here, I just want to talk.â
His appearance at that moment was strikingly similar to the first time they met, when he had an air of assured victory about him. He curled his lips into a smile and spoke.
âDidnât you say you were fascinated by the K Virus? Donât you want to know how I managed to pass through that lab without getting infected?â
A glimmer sparked in Calistaâs eyes. Seeing that Sterling didnât appear to be hiding anything, she began to hesitate.
âTwo.â
Seeing that Calista wanted to go, Kallum held on to her tightly. He was certain that Sterling had no good intentions, and he couldnât allow Calista to take risks under his watch.
Meanwhile, Sterling was already running out of patience.
âThree!â
âIâm coming over.â
Calista glanced back at Kallum. Seeing that he was still holding on to her, she tiptoed and whispered into his ear.
âThe reason I returned, besides my father, was primarily to understand why he wasnât infected. Perhaps he is the key to conquering the virus? Your body is deteriorating by the day, donât think Iâm unaware of it. I absolutely must go!â
Kallum felt as if his heart was being squeezed, his eyes widening in shock.
Calista managed to break free from his grasp. Instinctively, he reached out to grab Calistaâs clothes but eventually let go.
Because Calista was glaring at him, she really had to go!
Kallum tasted bitterness in his mouth, surprised that despite his seamless facade, Calista had still seen through him. Moreover, she was willing to take risks for him without a hint of hesitation. With that thought in mind, an overwhelming sweetness filled his heart. His Callie, always so stubborn yet soft- hearted, never vocalizing her intentions, yet acting on them all the same.
Kallum struggled to describe his emotions at that moment. In the end, he could only utter two words.
âBe careful.â
His gaze hardened, making a silent vow. No matter what, he would not let Calista get hurt, even if it cost him his life!
Calista nodded, moving toward Sterling. In a flash, a silver needle as thin as a hair strand appeared at her
rups.

His gaze lingered on Calistaâs neck with a certain intensity. Her scent will surely be far more enticing than the doctorâs that day.
It certainly will be!
Choosing Calisca over Kallum had indeed given Sterling pause. He knew full well that Kallumâs skills far surpassed his own by a significant margin. However, Calista was a different matter. While she possessed. some skills, he had managed to subdue her from their very first encounter, and he believed he could still do so.
Before his death, he felt it was worth it to bring down an enemy
with him
Seeing Sterling continuously raising his hand, Calista felt somewhat reassured even though she was aware of his formidable martial arts skills..
âIâm here, hand me the remote.â
Sterling held the remote, but he didnât hand it over to her right away. Instead, he smiled and said, âBefore I give this to you. I want to tell you a secret about the K Virus. Are you interested?â
Calistaâs heart skipped a beat, her gaze burning intensely as she stared at him. When their eyes met, it felt as if blades and arrows were clashing in battle.
âDo tell.â
Calista maintained a composed tone, even though her heart was clamoring to uncover the secret. However, she was dealing with a madman, a person who had lost all reason, and she couldnât afford to show even a hint of fear!
âCome a bit closer, this is a massive secret. Solve this centuryâs toughest problem because of it, and youâll be swimming in endless fame and wealth.â
Sterling tempted her with a smile.
Calista took another step forward, reducing the distance between them to less than half a meter. Despite her smile, every muscle in her body was tensed up.
The hall fell into silence as Calista approached the imposing figure. Hearts raced, and the air grew
a tense heavy with anticipation.
âAre you ready to talk?â Calistaâs voice carried a hint of amusement, her gaze sharp and unwavering. Though she knew she was no match for him physically, she remained composed, assessing every move.
âAll right, Iâll tell you.â
Sterling took a step forward, drawing closer to Calista. In response, Kallum also advanced, his gaze fixed. on Sterling, brimming with hostility.
He then watched as Sterling brought his lips to Calistaâs cars.
âThe reason I made it back aliveâ¦â As Sterling leaned in to whisper into Calistaâs car, a sense of intimacy formed between them, belying the underlying tension.

Chapter 221 The Special infected.
Sterlingâs smiling face suddenly twisted into one of extreme resentment.
Itâs because Iâm a special infected!â
Calistaâs pupils contracted, wanting to retreat. However, Sterling had already pressed the remote in his hand. An explosion sounded â it turned out that the five packages of explosives he had planted had been disarmed by Kallum s men, with only one remaining behind the large chandelier on the ceiling!
The ceiling burst open, and the crystal chandelier came crashing down fiercely!
The dining hall was filled with shricks of terror. Amidst the chaos, Calista managed to kick Sterling away. However, Sterling lunged at her once more, unleashing a terrifying burst of strength due to his nearâdeath
state.

Just as he opened his mouth, his teeth were about to sink into Calistaâs neck! Calista, her hands and feet restrained, could only watch helplessly as he closed in on her.
