Chapter 206 Sell Them Off
A mysterious glint flashed in Calista's eyes as she asked that with a smile.
Kallum nodded. "Gunner checked the area. After the explosion, several cracks surfaced within the cave. These cracks led to a naturally formed cavern, which Sterling likely used as an escape route. However, Gunner discovered traces of blood. After testing, it was confirmed to be Sterling's blood. Furthermore, it's been confirmed that he's been infected with the K Virus."
"There's nothing to worry about then," Calista uttered with a laugh. "As long as he's sick, he won't be able to leave. Everyone who comes here has to go through a check before they leave, with no exceptions. Unless he can get out of the boundaries of Jeahron and take a plane, he's definitely unable to leave, but that's not likely as a body weakened by illness can't handle too much strenuous activity."
Thinking about how one of her enemies from her past life had died, Calista was in a good mood, laughing as she said, "Now, the only thing I need to worry about is him spreading rumors about me obtaining the 'treasure'. What should I do about this?"
Calista had obtained the items but was at a loss as to how to carry them away. All she could do was look hopefully at Kallum.
Such a pleading expression was particularly effective on Kallum!
He gave a mysterious smile. "Don't worry, I'm here. Since we can't take them with us, we might as well sell them here."
""Sell them?"
Kallum nodded and explained, "Many people are aware that I obtained a batch of supplies from Uriah in Lostaria. However, no one has dared to ask me to produce them. This time, I specifically arranged for five cargo planes as a cover. When the time comes, I'll simply say these goods were transported here for sale. After all, these items can't be sold domestically. Even if they harbor doubts about me bringing them here for sale, they won't dare to question it. After all, Corleon has the world's largest underground market, doesn't it?" Calista broke into a smile, knowing there would be no issues now! Turning the items into cash and depositing it into an account was the safest way to go!
She raised her eyebrows slightly, looking at Kallum. "So when the time comes, we'll split it twenty-eighty, with you taking twenty and I get eighty?"
The business-like tone when she was haggling was truly amusing to Kallum!
He couldn't help but smile.
If it were anyone else, he wouldn't have taken on even a fifty-fifty deal, as one misstep could lead to significant trouble, rendering the gains not worth the losses.
However, when it came to Calista... He was already entirely hers, so what was the point in differentiating his money from hers?
"Whatever you say, goes," he casually replied. Seeing Calista's eyes instantly light up, he couldn't help but want to say that he didn't need anything and would give it all to her. Unfortunately, given Calista's headstrong nature, she probably wouldn't agree.
Upon hearing that Kallum had come
to Corleon to deal with those
supplies, those in Corleon found it
odd. However, when Kallum's subordinates explained that he- deeply loved his woman and that his primary reason for coming was to see her, and only secondarily to handle the supplies at hand, it all made sense to them.
After all, Kallum was inherently a person who acted recklessly.
The Corleon government felt confident they could handle what Kallum brought to the table. Despite it filling five cargo planes, they estimated its value wouldn't exceed ten billion. It was still considered a worthy acquisition.
Everyone was aware that Kallum had taken over a batch of goods from Uriah. While Uriah was still alive, he was notoriously meticulous, which meant the quality of his goods was undoubtedly top-notch.
Upon learning of their intention to take everything, Kallum happily handed over all the goods without a second thought, focusing solely on staying by Calista's side.
In order to prevent the Corleons
from discovering that the items were excavated from the city of Jeahron, Kallum detonated the cave after retrieving them, obliterating the terrifying laboratory in an instant. The virus that had leaked from this lab had already harmed the people of an entire city, so it had no right to exist any longer.
However, there were some useful pieces of information inside, which Calista had brought back.
Once the deal was sealed, the local government held a special banquet in honor of Kallum. They also extended an invitation to Calista and the medical team, expressing their gratitude for the significant contributions they had made in the area.
Calista didn't think her contributions
were significant. She was well aware that the banquet was primarily for Kallum. However, Kallum's situation was unique, requiring him to minimize contact with others. She knew that she would inevitably have to put in some effort when the time came.
Once they were all dressed up, they boarded a plane to the most splendid city nearby. Due to their high status, Kallum and Calista were not subjected to any checks when they left, but everyone else had to go through rigorous screening before they could board the plane. Upon arriving at the location, the experts following behind Calista seemed a bit lost.
The wealth disparity in the country was vast. The rich had cars made of gold, while the poor's most beautiful jewelry might be defective products scavenged from trash heaps. Having spent a long time in Jeahron, they found the sudden transition to the opulent skyscrapers a bit jarring.
However, Kallum had long since grown accustomed to it, and Calista didn't pay it any mind either. Be it their appearance, demeanor, or status, they were undoubtedly the most dazzling pair. As soon as they entered the banquet hall, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"See that? That's the head of the Fairchild family from Chanaea! He's a world-class catch, a real influential man. If I can secure his favor, my family's status will soar to new heights."
A lavishly dressed woman, Sophia, spoke to a strikingly featured woman beside her.
