Chapter 402 Ambrose In Danger
Seeing Ambroseâs struggle, the man fiercely lashed him twice with a whip! He then used a camera to capture Ambroseâs pitiful condition.
Blood trickled down Ambroseâs pale body. The shattered beauty of pure white, laced with profound malice, was somehow more captivating than taking drugs.
The burly man swallowed, finally giving the camera a lecherous grin as he spoke. âIâm only giving you half an hour. If youâre not at Catfish Harbor in that time, heâs done for! Rest assured, Iâll make sure to record his pitiful state for you to seel When the time comes, you can go fish his body out of the water! Remember, you only have half an hour!â
After he finished speaking, the screen flickered and then went dark.
Calista sat on the edge of the bed, her hand clutching the phone was trembling! How dare they? How could they dare to touch someone as innocent and pure as Ambrose?
A storm of malice swirled within her shadowy eyes. She was suddenly reminded of Ambroseâs untarnished smile each time he saw her. Yet, just as quickly, she was confronted by the image of him ensnared in darkness and subjected to torment. Her fingers trembled slightly. Her hand hadnât fully healed, but at that moment, she was overcome with the desire to wring someoneâs neck!
Just at that moment, Quintus barged in with his men. Seeing that Calista was still there, he let out a long sigh of relief. âMs. Calista, itâs good that youâre at home. Kiefer has shown up, and the authorities have already dispatched people. However, itâs extremely dangerous outside right now, so you mustnât leave!â However, just as he finished speaking, Calista suddenly stood up and walked toward the desk.
âMs. Calista?â Quintus stared at her in shock and saw her pull a gun out of the drawer!
That was a custom firearm given to Calista by Kallum for selfâdefense, something she had never used before.
A sense of foreboding rose within Quintusâ heart. âAre you heading out?â
Calista gave him a cold glance, methodically loading bullets one by one. Simultaneously, she inquired, âHow many people did you bring?â
Upon hearing Calistaâs words, Quintus tensed up, instinctively replying, âTen Parker Guards and fifteen Ludlow Guards.â
The bodyguards, all trained by the Fairchild family, had been put to work ensuring her safety. Kallum had certainly gone to great lengths for her.
Calistaâs lips slightly curled into a smile. âGreat, letâs go somewhere.â
Quintus desperately wanted to stop her. Horington was in utter chaos at the moment, so it was far too dangerous to venture out! However, there was an intimidating aura about Calista that made Quintus swallow his words bit by bit. âWhat are you planning to do?â
Calista firmly secured the magazine, narrowing her eyes as she spoke harshly. âIâm going to murder
someone!â
1/3.
its abundant catfish, it had since evolved into a major warehouse district for Horington. People came and went as all sorts of transactions took place there. It was a part of the city that was both prosperous and chaotic.
As the sun gradually set on the horizon, Calistaâs expression also progressively darkened.
If Horatio is colluding with Kiefer, given Horatioâs status, how could he possibly sway Kiefer? The only plausible scenario is that Horatio is exploiting Kiefer, informing him that Iâm Kallumâs greatest vulnerability. As long as Iâm captured, Kallum will undoubtedly be at their mercy. If Kiefer captures me and uses me to threaten Kallum, my worth will have ended there. It would have been perfectly logical for Horatio to take me away then. When the time comes, Horatio will emerge victorious. Whether itâs the Stafford family or Kallum, they can all be used to coerce me into prolonging his life. If he succeeds, heâd kill multiple birds with one stone. He should keep dreaming. Calista closed his eyes, pondering over any information that could be of use. Catfish Harbor, Catfish Harbor⦠Why does this name sound so familiar? Have I heard it somewhere in my previous life?
Information flashed through her mind like data streams, one after another. Finally, she opened her eyes, a mysterious glimmer surfacing within them. I see. Itâs that Catfish Harbor.
Calista gave Quintus a series of instructions, one after another. Quintus looked at her in surprise but didnât say anything. He simply nodded and went off to carry them out.
Consequently, out of the original ten cars, nine had gone in different directions, and there was still no contact from Kallumâs side.
Quintus said, âThereâs no need for you to worry about Mr. Kallum. However, if you proceed with this, and he learns this, he will be very concerned.â
âThen letâs not let him know.â When Calista spoke, her gaze was fixed firmly on Quintus. Quintus recoiled slightly, and in the end, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
He thought that as long as Calista was safe, Kallum wouldnât cause him trouble. After all, his duty was simply to protect Calisa!
Moreover, he was no match for Calista.
Meanwhile, a burst of gunfire erupted, and the previously deserted warehouse was suddenly flooded with a host of uniformed men in black!
Upon seeing the newcomers through the camera, Horatio muttered a curse under his breath, then spoke to the foreign hulk standing by his side. âItâs Jarrettâs people.â
This foreign man was a loyal subordinate of Kiefer. His name was David.
Just like Uriah, Kiefer had been brainwashing his subordinates since they were young. He had no worries about them betraying him as their minds had already been significantly eroded by drugs.
Just moments ago, Horatio intervened to stop David from taking action against Ambrose. In response, David almost had a falling out with him! It was only after Horatioâs persuasive and coercive arguments that David decided to show leniency and gave Ambrose a pass.
Even so, David was extremely dissatisfied, throwingâa tantrum and smashing things everywhere.
Although he gave Calista half an hour, he had absolutely no resistance toward attractive young men and women. All he wanted to do was to devour them wholeheartedly.
