Chapter 404 Divide And Conquer Before Horatio could say anything, Calista was the first to speak.

"No doubt you collaborated with Kiefer to get your hands on me. However, Kiefer is a wanted criminal in thirteen countries. While you're still under the radar, why do you need to keep mingling with him if I agree to extend your life?"

Calista's words gradually calmed down the tense and overexcited mind of Horatio. "Don't you think it's a bit too late saying all this now?" questioned Horatio.

By that point, Jarrett already knew that Horatio was involved with Kiefer. It was too late for Horatio to leave.

"It's not too late," Calista's somewhat enchanting voice came through. "As long as I'm in your hands, you can use me to threaten Kallum and keep yourself safe. Given that, why would you help Kiefer capture me? What if, after he catches me, he breaks his agreement with you and kills me to provoke Kallum? Without me, you're surely doomed. Now, there's a shorter path to take. You wouldn't want to take the long way around, would you?"

Calista's words made Horatio break out in a cold sweat. Indeed, he harbored such concerns. The aura around Kiefer and his gang was intense and aggressive. Collaborating with such people left him feeling utterly uncertain and uneasy.

"How... How can I capture you?" Horatio hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked in a hushed tone.

Calista laughed. "Bring Ambrose to the fishing yard now, and I'll trade myself for him. If you're worried about an ambush, you can send a drone first to scout. The fishing yard are open on all sides, so I couldn't possibly ambush you. And if you're still scared, bring as many people as you want. How does that sound?"

Horatio felt that something was off, yet Calista's proposition was incredibly tempting. If it were possible, he truly wished to extricate himself from Kiefer's clutches. Otherwise, even if he survived, he was doomed to live the life of a fugitive.

Moreover, with Ambrose in his control, he reckoned that Calista wouldn't dare to act recklessly.

After a swift moment of contemplation, Horatio nodded in agreement.
