Chapter 1730
Chapter 1730: Long time no see, little friend.
With the person she brought along, it was none other than Kiera who had just escaped from the capital with the deliberate indulgence of the Turner family. She didn't know if it was fortunate or unfortunate, but she actually became the first person to find Callum.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
At first glance, Kiera saw a familiar figure across from her and her body shook violently. She stared at the man in front of her with burning eyes and spoke in a trembling voice due to nervousness and excitement, "... Callum..."
Callum's gaze slowly fell on Kiera's face, cold as ice without any warmth.
Kiera's heart tightened and she lifted her head. She looked at the man in front of her who was completely different from twenty years ago. The gentle temperament like water had disappeared without a trace; he now made people shudder.
But after all, Callum was the man that Kiera had been obsessed with for half of her life. Facing him, she subconsciously wanted to show him her best side.
However, when she lifted up her head at that moment, she suddenly remembered that after faking death back then, she had already changed faces. Later on, she also suffered disfigurement by that young master and even lost an ear bitten off by Sylvester Riddle.
Nowadays... she no longer possessed past beauty!
Kiera trembled and subconsciously covered her face. She carefully observed Callum's expression across from hers and immediately noticed... his eyes seemed somewhat confused!
Kiera tensed up nervously and secretly gestured to those behind them before slowly moving closer towards Callum,"Do you... not remember me?"
As Callum's attention was drawn to Kiera, the person behind her quietly raised a gun and attempted to knock Callum out according to Kiera's plan, then take him away. However, before he could pull the trigger, everything went blurry and he felt a sharp pain in his wrist. He let out a scream of agony.
Kiera was stunned for a moment but quickly regained her composure when she saw that a gun was pointed at her forehead. The hand holding the gun had an unusual beauty with its overly pale and slender fingers - it belonged to the man she had been longing for over twenty years.
The man looked dark and brooding as he stared into Kiera's eyes. "Do you know where my wife is now?" he asked.
Kiera met his gaze up close - calm yet crazed eyes - which sent shivers down her spine along with an overwhelming sense of jealousy. Twenty years ago, Callum only had eyes for Nevaeh; even now with his memory in disarray, all he remembered was Nevaeh!
Nevaeh!
Kiera twisted her face slightly as if about to say that Nevaeh was already dead when suddenly Callum's gaze slowly swept across her face. She met his crazy left eye and calm right eye simultaneously as if being oppressed by some invisible force; an unexpected sense of crisis made it difficult for her to look directly into those eyes.
In her mind echoed a mad voice...
Quickly run away!
Quick, run away!!
Kiera felt a bone-chilling fear and shivers ran down her spine.
However, before she could react, the next second, she heard a low and hoarse voice.
"That was the last sentence she heard in her life."
"You have a repulsive aura about you!"
With the words, Kiera's body was suddenly thrown out.
She fell heavily to the ground and before she could even get up, a raging flame suddenly rose from her body, engulfing her completely in an instant.
Kiera screamed, and her face, which had just been smiling, turned ugly.
She rolled desperately on the ground, wailing and pleading for help from all around.
Callum stood still in place, indifferent.
The people she brought with her immediately turned around and ran upon seeing the situation.
Kiera's wailing was so intense that it became distorted.
She watched helplessly, feeling the pain of burning her flesh and eating her bones everywhere on her body.
She writhed and rolled on the ground, but couldn't extinguish the flames on her body.
The air smelled of burnt flesh.
Accompanied by heart-wrenching pain, Kiera's vision twisted and turned. In her hazy sight, she suddenly saw another black figure leaning against the wall not far away, watching the scene expressionlessly.
Kiera reached out her charred and burning hand towards the man who had saved her countless times in this life, but had also been used by her and caused harm to numerous people. The man who had fallen from being a proud son of heaven to a traitor to his country, extended his hand.
She thought that the man would come to save her as he had done countless times before!
However, this time, no matter how she screamed, wailed, and cried in pain... the other party still just stood there coldly without taking a single step towards her.
Kiera's expression twisted and grimaced, her screams almost tearing the sky apart.
After a while, the screams gradually weakened until they disappeared completely.
"She has harmed countless people throughout her life."
In the end, he also died by the most painful capital punishment.
She spent her whole life chasing after a man named Callum.
Finally, as desired, he died in the hands of the other party.
This fire burned for a full half hour.
Burning a man alive into a black heap of coke.
After Kiera died, Callum slowly lifted his eyes and focused his gaze on the group of people in front of him who were holding guns.
The person opposite him met his gaze, and many people instinctively took a step back, their pupils trembling uncontrollably.
A gust of wind, carrying the scent of blood, swept through the air and quickly dissipated.
Mr. White looked across at a man who was almost unrecognizable compared to years ago. He clenched his fists and struggled to steady himself.
"The people in this city are not exempt from punishment!" he declared.
Callum, however, didn't even glance at Mr. White. His gaze pierced through the crowd and over the well-trained army standing behind them, fixating on a figure in the distance.
Callum extended his fair-skinned hand towards that person with a deep voice that exuded terrifying pressure. "Give it to me."
Everyone present was stunned by Callum's sudden words. They realized what he meant and were all shocked!
Everyone including Mr. White and Cassius as well as Oscar, Selena, and Osvaldo who had just arrived turned their heads towards where Callum was looking.
At that moment, it seemed like all sound had vanished from the world.
Behind the crowd stood a figure quietly gazing at this city’s entrance to an underground dungeon with its head tilted up towards it.
Sensing unusual attention being directed their way, that person turned around amidst grayish light filtering down from above.
Their eyes scanned through the crowd before finally landing on Selena whose face paled while her eyes filled with suspicion.
With a slight smile on their lips they said: "Long time no see, little one."
