Chapter 379
Her Vengeful Rebirth
Chapter 379 Freeze To Death
Roger had exerted a great deal of effort to catch up. Seeing that Calista had reached a cliff and had nowhere else to run, he felt a sudden surge of relief. It seemed as if his eyes weren’t hurting as much
anymore.
He advanced step by step. In Calista’s cars, she distinctly heard the sound of a handgun being cocked.
Am I going to die?
The chilly fog had long since soaked her clothes, its coldness piercing her bones. Yet at that moment, she was enveloped by a killing intent that was even colder.
It was undeniably a critical moment, yet Calista’s heart remained steady, and her breathing was slow and calm. She could hear someone calling her name, but the sound seemed distant. She also heard the man’s heavy, hurried breathing, which indicated he was likely exhausted as well.
With a calm demeanor, Calista asked, “Who are you? Who sent you? Why do you want to kill me?”
Roger hadn’t expected that Calista, even at death’s door, would remain so composed. He sneered, “You have the audacity to ask?”
The bandage over his eye was already soaked with blood. It trickled down in a scarlet stream that resembled tears of blood. At that moment, he looked as terrifying as a demon from hell, a sight unfortunately unseen by Calista.
A gust of wind blew, carrying with it the scent of blood. She surmised that he must have been injured by a hidden weapon earlier, and the wound seemed rather serious.
It’s a shame. Why didn’t he die?
“Why can’t I ask? Even as death looms, can’t I at least seek clarity?”
Upon hearing her words of self–surrender, Roger gave a cold laugh. He put away his gun and drew a knife instead.
“Since you seem to be clueless, allow me to enlighten you! Once I gouge out your eyes, you’ll understand. exactly what you did wrong!”
Eyes? Could he be blind in one eye? If so, I might just stand a chance! Calista thought.
Roger steadily advanced. The tip of the knife was nearly upon her when suddenly, Calista made a move.
Roger hadn’t expected Calista to be so skilled. However, he was no amateur himself. Quick as a flash, he managed to block the stealthy attack Calista launched from the right.
There was a distinct sound of bones cracking as he twisted Calista’s hand. It was contorted into a grotesque shape.
Such excruciating pain would be unbearable to any human, yet Calista managed to maintain a clear mind at this critical moment. Cold sweat soaked her forehead. She deduced that her opponent was blind in his right eye. Ignoring the pain in her captured left hand, she once again launched an attack from the man’s
left side.

a needle mercilessly into the left side of his neck. His body instantly felt a wave of numbness.
The man panicked. Dmn it!
In the next moment, Calista took a step forward, but what she hadn’t anticipated was that because she couldn’t see clearly, her aim was off. Ideally, her move would have paralyzed him for a few seconds. However, at this critical moment, he surprisingly regained consciousness and pulled her with force.
Calista was taken aback. Suddenly, the ground beneath her gave way and she tumbled down.
When everyone had scoured the mountain from foot to peak without finding anyone, Kallum finally panicked. However, he told himself that there was no way Horatio could have harmed Callie after receiving the call. So where had things gone wrong?
The three snipers were brought before Kallum. Faced with the volatile man who held their lives in his hands, one of them stuttered, “Calista blinded the boss in one eye, so… even if the client wanted to change the terms of the deal, the boss wouldn’t listen… He said he wanted… to kill her!”
Kallum felt a jolt in his heart. “You’re saying the one who ran off is your leader?”
“Yes… He used to be an ace mercenary… because…
“D“mn it!” Kallum exploded, abruptly standing up. He hadn’t anticipated such a sudden turn of events. If Horatio’s people wouldn’t listen to him, what would happen to Callie?
“Mr. Kallum, we’ve already searched the entire mountain. Searching again would be pointless.”
“You must have missed a few spots. Are you suggesting that two grown individuals just vanished into thin air?”
Faced with Kallum’s interrogation, someone stuttered, “There’s… one place we haven’t searched yet.”
“Where?”
“Down the cliff…”
When Calista woke up, she was a bit dazed. She looked around, only to find herself engulfed in darkness. She was unable to see anything-
Beside her lay a body, somewhat chilled to the touch. It was then that Calista realized it was this man who had served as her shield, allowing her to narrowly escape danger. But where am I?
Calista, careful as if she were blind, felt around and realized she was on a ledge. She was certain she wasn’t at the bottom of a cliff, for even with someone breaking her fall, she would have surely died.
She speculated that she was somewhere midway up the cliff. As for the exact location, she couldn’t see or discern it.
Calista reached out, searching the man’s lifeless body. Unfortunately, the man’s phone had long been smashed by him. Aside from the gun, his clothes were torn and tattered. After some thought, Calista decided to cast the body off, testing the depth of the cliff.
She only had one usable hand. Cautiously, she nudged the body toward the edge, delivering the final kick that sent it over. It was only after a while, amidst the howling wind, that she heard the thud of the body hitting the ground. This sent a chill down her spine.

She was positioned in the middle of the cliff, on a protruding rock that was merely about ten square meters in size. The surface was barren, devoid of any vegetation or anything else. Spending a night in such a place could potentially make her sick. She could even freeze to death.
