“Mr. Kallum!” Ryder exclaimed, barely able to mask his disbelief. It was inconceivable to him that Kallum would risk everything, even his last breath, for the sake of a woman.

Kallum, lips pursed in firm resolution, clarified his decision. “If I go to the military district now, my chances of survival would be barely one percent. Yet, if I refrain from attempting to rescue her, her likelihood of death is almost certain.

His unwavering resolve to save another seemed to soothe the scaring pain that racked his body. Never before had he felt such composure or grasped the stakes so clearly.

His gaze was fixed intently to the right as he continued, “I am prepared to gamble my meager chance of survival against her almost certain chance to live. Thus, we set our course for Mount Goldfall!”

Meanwhile, Calista found herself confined, overhearing conversations in Turlenian outside her cell. She coolly assessed her situation

From what she could gather, the tide had turned once the antidote was introduced. Consequently, Uriah had severed ties with his uncle, who continued to resist the Lostarian government while Uriah planned his escape from the country. His bitterness over past failures was palpable, and it was this resentment that drove him to capture her as a way to reach Kallum.

The discussions outside hinted at the use of the K Virus. Fortunately, it seemed his plans had not succeeded, and Kallum remained unharmed.

However, a wave of unease washed over Calista.

In her previous life, Kallum had returned abruptly to his homeland. Given his significant role in Lostaria, why would he return amid an ongoing war? The K Virus… Uriah…

Calista furrowed her brows. In her previous life, she hadn’t been able to visit Kallum and knew far too little

him. However, at that point, she knew she had to leave that place.

They had injected her with a sedative when they confined her, but Calista possessed a unique constitution that delayed the effects of any drug. Her apparent weakness was merely a ruse. In truth, she still had the strength to break free from her bindings.

Silently, she untied herself and cautiously peered through a crack in the door. Outside, two armed guards stood watch, with patrolling sentinels visible in the vicinity. The odds were against her, but she knew she had to attempt an escape within the next two hours, especially if Kallum was indeed coming to her rescue. She needed to avoid endangering him at all costs.

All her personal items had been confiscated, but she retrieved a needle hidden within her chest.

The Energy Locking Needle, fully concealable inside her chest, now provided her with a small measure of security, Clutching the needle, she felt a renewed sense of empowerment.

Meanwhile, Kallum had reached Mount Goldfall and confirmed his infection with the K Virus. After a period of uncertainty, his resolve had crystallized.

Calista was awaiting his rescue. Pinning his hopes on a mere one percent chance of survival simply could not measure against her safety.

weakly.

Ryder knew there was no circumventing Kallum; the only viable option was to have the military district. dispatch an antibody as quickly as possible.

However, everyone was aware that the effectiveness of the antibody decreased dramatically over time. If there was originally a one percent chance of survival, that likelihood diminished to nearly one–thousandth of a percent after the two–hour mark.

Upon receiving the update, Shadow Assassins had already made their way to Mount Goldfall. Although this was their debut mission, their intent to kill was undiminished.

As Kallum viewed the imposing mountain peak, he let out a cold chuckle. If his end was near, then he would ensure that those who pursued him would join him in demise.

Indeed, Uriah had his forces ready. His choice of Mount Goldfall was strategic, as the mountain’s hollow core held potential resources for a future resurgence.

If Kallum brought a significant force, Uriah was undeterred. And if Kallum came with only four, their defeat would be even swifter.

However, Uriah received word that Kallum had continued on his path to the military district and not deviated toward rescuing Calista. It was then he realized something crucial–Kallum didn’t care about Calista: he never intended to rescue her.

What a nuisance! I knew it, no woman would lead Kallum to his demise. So, what’s the point of keeping her alive?

“Bring that woman here!” Uriah commanded.

At that moment, Calista was seizing her chance to escape. She was confined in a wooden shed and had discovered a loose plank on the floor. With her bare hands, she dug at the ground beneath it, applying all her strength until the plank broke, revealing an escape route.

eady scoped out the area through a crevice and confirmed no one was directly behind the shed.

After crawling out, she dashed into the surrounding forest, only to encounter guards stationed throughout. It was clear this was Uriah’s secret base, likely fortified from the mountain’s peak to its base.

A surge of anxiety overwhelmed Calista when suddenly, a furious roar erupted from behind. “She’s gone!”

Without hesitation, Calista swiftly scaled a tree.

In her previous life, Calista had found herself fleeing so frequently that she had developed a range of survival skills. Her heightened senses and swift movements enabled her to deftly navigate into the thickest parts of the tree canopy. It wasn’t long before a search party arrived, led by Uriah himself, whose pale face seemed to radiate sheer fury, his blue eyes blazing with a fire of wrath.
