Chapter 378 Keep On Running 

Four snipers, guns in hand, had been searching for several hours and were starting to feel the fatigue. Furthermore, the mountain was shrouded in heavy fog. If they couldn’t find their target before nightfall, they would be forced to retreat. 

At that moment, Roger, the person leading abruptly halted. 

“What’s wrong?” someone asked. 

“Look, isn’t that the clothes of that woman?” 

Several people looked over, and on the grass, a blood–stained white garment was quite conspicuous. It was evidence that Calista was somewhere nearby. 

“She’s injured and has been running for so long. She must be exhausted by now. Let’s split up 

up and search and use this place as our base. We have to find her; otherwise, we won’t be able to leave!” 

They nodded and promptly took action. Roger pondered for a moment before walking toward the blood- stained fabric

But suddenly, he tripped over something underfoot. There was a gush of wind, and a branch, bent to its limit. sprung up fiercely. In the fog, a sharpened branch shot straight toward his face. 

In a split second, he tilted his head, narrowly avoiding the fatal blow, but he let out a wail, clutching his left 

eye

Even though he managed to dodge in time, the branch still mercilessly gouged out one of his eyes. 

It wasn’t entirely gouged out, but a deep gash had been slashed across his left eye, leaving it a bloody mess. Roger, with only one good eye left, looked at his blood–soaked hand and let out a heart–wrenching scream that echoed throughout the forest. 

Ahh! Calista, I’m going to kill you!” 

At that moment, Calista was not far off. Hearing his anguished screams, she let out a somewhat cruel laugh. 

“Roger! How are you?” 

The other three individuals hurriedly gathered around. In the dim light, the vivid red blood trickled down through the man’s fingers. His hands were trembling, and he was grinding his teeth in extreme pain

Someone quickly brought out medicine to bandage him up, but at that moment, his phone rang. 

Upon hearing the sound, Roger seethed with anger. He still managed to answer the call despite his intense pain. On the other end, the anxious voice of Horatio came through. 

“The terms of our deal have changed. I’ll still give you the money, but you must not touch a hair on Calista’s head. If anything happens to her, you won’t receive anything. Do you understand?” 

While Horatio was still shouting into the phone, a cold smirk had already formed on Roger’s face

His eyes were still bleeding. Had he not dodged swiftly, he might have been dead by now. Now he’s asking

Not receiving any assurance, Horatio roared again. “Did you hear me? I want Calista! Bring her back to me in one piece!” 

Roger laughed bitterly, covering his eye. “You expect me to bring her back to you? In one piece? Dream on‘ I want her dead! Do you hear me? I want her dead!” 

After he finished speaking, he flung his phone onto the ground. With each shout, he stomped forcefully)

“Die! Dic! Die!” 

“Roger! Roger! Calm down… What do we do now?” 

“What else can we do? Find her, and kill her!” 

Bearing immense pain, Roger quickly bandaged his injured eye, which had been gouged and was undoubtedly ruined. His current, most burning desire was to find Calista and exact his revenge by taking her eyes in return. 

His subordinate hesitated slightly. “But-” 

Before he could finish his sentence, he was brutally punched by Roger. His facial expression contorted. clearly due to the excruciating pain. He was on the verge of completely losing his sanity. 

“I’ll say it one more time!” 

His remaining eye was filled with bloodshot streaks, and the flesh on his face trembled uncontrollably. His voice was chillingly cold. 

“I want her dead!” 

They searched in the mountains. The deeper Calista ran, the broader their search area became. Even if there were thousands of people looking for her, it was still like finding a needle in a haystack. 

Calista found her vision gradually blurring. She had no choice but to seek a more open space, somewhere with fewer trees. Perhaps reaching the highest point would be better. 

With this belief, Calista made her way to the top of the mountain. The dimness of her sight caused her to stumble and falter, leaving behind a trail of marks. 

Thankfully, the four individuals who were searching for Calista had yet to find her when they were intercepted by Kallum’s men. After a fierce battle, only Roger who was blind in one eye managed to escape, but not without acquiring fresh injuries. 

This wasn’t about the mission anymore. Had he not lost sight in one eye, he wouldn’t have been in such a pitiful state. He was desperate to get rid of Calista, no matter the cost. 

Torches were scattered everywhere, and people were calling her name. But Calista couldn’t discern who they were. She feared that those calling her were the ones out to kill her, so she chose not to respond. She was single–mindedly making her way toward the mountain peak when a piercing mountain wind suddenly blew, causing her to halt abruptly. 

By then, she could no longer see clearly. It was as if her vision was shrouded in patches of black fog. However, the wind gave her a sense that danger was lurking ahead.

“Hehehe… Run! Keep on running!” 

A menacing voice echoed. Calista turned around only to see a tall silhouette.
