Her Vengeful Rebirth ( Calista ) Novel
Chapter 407

Chapter 407 Gather Everyone Here. 

“I’m still in your hands, why are you hesitating? Haven’t you noticed they’ve stopped daring to shoot?” Calista’s calm voice broke through the chaos, catching Horatio off guard. 

In a sudden surge of anger, Horatio shouted, “You b*tch! Did you orchestrate this? You think you can just walk away from this chaos? Even if it kills me, I’ll make sure you go down with me!” His voice was filled with fury as he gripped Calista’s arm tightly. 

From a distance, Kurt was leading a group toward them, his presence marked by a cold, commanding tone. “The game is over. Traitors have no right to live in this world.” His icy declaration sent a shiver down Horatio’s spine. 

“Don’t come any closer!” Horatio yelled back, his fury undiminished. He had invested everything in capturing Calista, primarily to save his own skin after severing ties with the Ingram family. Now, with nothing left but his life, if Kurt meant to kill him, he wouldn’t let Calista live either. 

With that, he disengaged the safety on his pistol, his eyes red with rage and fear, and threatened, “If you take one more step forward, I swear we’ll both meet our end!” 

Kurt stopped in his tracks, sensing the genuine desperation in Horatio’s voice. But he pondered momentarily, It doesn’t matter much if Calista was harmed, but her demise would render her useless…. 

As Kurt paused, Calista lowered her voice, leaning in to speak to Horatio. “If I had a way to make all his people perish right here, would you be willing to cooperate?” 

Horatio, taken aback by her proposal, struggled to find words. 

Regardless of his hesitation, Calista continued quietly. “Do you see the green fishing net on the ground to the right? Take me there, and then have Kurt and his men come as close to us as possible.” 

“A–Are you sure?” Horatio asked, his voice betraying his confusion and desperation. He knew he could no longer trust Calista, yer his instinct for survival urged him to consider her proposal. 

Calista chuckled softly, her eyes gleaming mysteriously, a mix of beauty and danger playing across her scarred face. “Of course, I have experience in taking lives,” she whispered, almost reassuringly. 

Her life is in my hands. What is there to be afraid of? Convinced, albeit reluctantly, Horatio began leading Calista toward the indicated spot. 

Kurt, observing their approach with a hint of suspicion, cautiously followed. 

Once they reached the designated location, Horatio called out loudly, “Want her? Sure, let’s make a deal!” 

Kurt, sensing something amiss, remained silent, listening as Horatio continued, “Have all your people step out and drop their weapons! As long as I can leave here alive, I will hand over Calista to you!” 

Kurt let out a cold laugh and glanced at Calista. 

With just a look, Calista understood his intention and called out to Quintus from a distance, “Quintus, lead everyone out and drop your weapons.” 

Quintus hesitated, but under Horatio’s urgent threat, “Hurry up, or I’ll kill her!” he looked at Kurt and said, “If we’re to drop our weapons, we’ll do it together!”

Kurt, uncertain of Calista’s intentions but aware of Horatio’s unstable state, decided to proceed cautiously. After all, Calista was still valuable and very much in Horatio’s hands. 

Moreover, Horatio was far from being their primary target, and letting him go didn’t seem to matter much. 

With these considerations, Kurt surprisingly agreed. 

Calista’s lips curved slightly, and Horatio issued commands with a stern expression, “Everyone who’s with 

come out. Gather around the open space near me. I’m wary of any surprise attacks!” 

Kurt’s sense of unease grew. He glanced at the ground, noting the abundance of withered grass and disturbed areas. He communicated to his trusted aide in Lostarian, “Don’t step on the disturbed ground, ad come closer to me.” 

His men, alert and cautious, moved toward him, forming a tight group of over a hundred. Their focus was preventing any trickery by Horatio. They were not concerned about any movements from the Fairchild family’s men from behind, for to them, Calista was paramount. 

Seeing the gathering crowd, Horatio grew nervous and whispered to Calista, “I’ve summoned everyone here, what exactly do you intend to do?” 

Calista turned slightly, her expression playful yet ominous, and teased, “Are you scared?” 

Horatio pondered, Wouldn’t anyone be scared? Being isolated and faced with such a menacing crowd, it’s completely understandable for one to feel their legs turn to jelly! Even with their weapons laid down, the thick air of their murderous intent is palpable. 

“Now, you have two options,” Calista continued, presenting her choices to Horatio with an unruffled demeanor. “First, you could point the gun at me, then step back and leave. These people are here for me. If you make your escape from the back, they won’t pursue you until they’ve captured me. After that, you’re on your own.” 

Horatio stood silent, aware that one of the exits to the fishing yard was just behind him. He could potentially make a swift getaway from this predicament. But departing would mean leaving Calista 

behind. 

“Your second option,” she proposed, “is to remain here and observe how I manage these enemies. However, amidst this chaos, it could prove difficult for you to escape unscathed.” 

At that moment, Horatio was clearly grappling with a difficult decision. Calista’s strategy was evident; fleeing would mean losing everything he valued. Alternatively, staying could very well cost him his life.
