Her Rebirth of Retribution
Chapter 305 The Secret Room

"Let's not search anymore then."

Kallum's words made Norman secretly pleased but also somewhat disdainful. The secret room was previously Harvey's study, a place designed for storing confidential materials. Once the door was sealed, it was almost impossible to replace easily. Otherwise, Harvey wouldn't have spent millions to build a secret room in the first place.

Yet, through his sobs, he insisted, "It's true, she was taken away in secret! I swear, I'm not lying to you!"

Kallum stood up abruptly, looking at him with a deathly cold gaze.

"Had I not kept this place under surveillance, hearing you say that would have probably sent me off in a frantic search."

Norman was taken aback. He hadn't expected Kallum would be this careful.

Irritated, Kallum tugged at his tie. His violet eyes were filled with deep unease. He couldn't wait any longer. If they couldn't replace her, there was a simple solution. "Evacuate everyone and set the place on fire. Burn it down!"

Kallum's command made Norman utterly shocked! Burn it down? Surely, Kallum won't dare to do that. He can't possibly commit arson in someone else's home.

But Kallum's men, except for two who stayed to protect him, all went out. The guests, who had been trapped, seized the opportunity to rush outside, but they couldn't leave because their cars were in the yard! Kallum wouldn't really burn down this five-story mansion, would he? What about our cars?

To quickly meet Kallum's demands, his men gathered the fuel from the cars in the yard, making it easier to set the fire.

This five-story mansion held Harvey's collection of antiques and cultural relics accumulated over many years. It wasn't just a house!

More importantly, what about the people inside if Kallum set the house on fire?

By now, the first floor was gradually catching fire. Norman was frantic, fearing the people in the secret room would be burned alive. He wondered if it was too late to tell Kallum where they were.

Unfortunately, Kallum's aura was too intimidating. Every time Norman wanted to confess, he chickened out. He felt that if he tried to run, Kallum would burn him first! Thinking of his own life and Quincy's threats, he hesitated and ultimately chose to play dead.

"Okay, hiding any longer is pointless... Ninety-Two, are you doing this on purpose? You missed so many shots!" Jason's voice was tinged with annoyance.

The bodyguard, not daring to hold back any longer, quickly promised, "She's too cunning. This time, I'll definitely hit her!"

Just then, the house alarm suddenly went off with a blaring level one alert that echoed throughout, even inside the secret room!

"What's happening?" Quincy, the new resident, was just as confused as everyone else.

"It should be the fire alarm. It only goes off for major fires..."

Before the person could finish, water started spraying from the ceiling. It couldn't be turned off. Quincy hadn't expected there to be a sprinkler system here.

"What's going on? Is there a fire? But we can't go out now..." Quincy was stumped. To prevent Calista from using a satellite phone, all electronic devices were cut off, and she couldn't contact the outside world.

"Should we go out and check? What if there really is a fire?" The guests lost interest in the party, worried about being burned alive if a fire broke out. They no longer cared about playing games.

Someone pointed at a wall. "What's with this wall? It's so thin. I can see the glow of the fire outside!"

Quincy and Jason followed his gaze and saw numerous holes in one of the previously sealed walls, with some holes piercing through to show the fire outside!

Quincy suddenly realized why

Calista had set fire to that wall and

kept drawing their shots to it. Since they aimed for Calista's legs, the wall was now riddled with bullet holes initially, the charred wall wasn't noticeable, but now it was emitting firelight. Calista had known all along that this wall was fake, made of glass wool insulation!

"Hurry! Where's Calista? Catch her! She's trying to escape!" Quincy's urgent words merely elicited a snort from Jason. "This is the second floor. Where could she run to?"

Despite his words, they instinctively

searched for Calista's figure. With the ceiling constantly spraying water and everyone distracted by the firelight, they had lost sight of her. Now looking at the sofas and beds, they had no idea where she might be hiding.

"We should leave! There's a huge fire below! We can see the flames from the second floor!" someone said fearfully.

Quincy forced herself to stay calm. "Don't worry. We have security. If there's an emergency, the police and ambulances will arrive first! Have your bodyguards help search. Even if we need to leave, we must catch Calista first. Otherwise, she be a threat!"

The seven or eight individuals who were reluctantly dragged into this mess had no choice but to assist them in their search.

"That woman is so sneaky. In such a small space, where could she have gone?"
