Her Rebirth of Retribution

Chapter 89 Injured Once she had decided to go ahead, Calista gave Benedict a call and told him she was going on a trip.

Benedict now had all his shares in hand and was more confident in his work now, so he happily allowed her to go.

Calista knew that the Wolfords and the Langleys wouldn't make any trouble for the Staffords for the tbeing and would probably just keep a close eye on her, so she wasn't too worried. So she packed her bags and left. Since there was a travel ban to Lostaria, Calista had no choice but to ask Jarrett for help.

She went over once a month to treat Ambrose anyway, so she didn't feel bad about ordering Jarrett around. Jarrett was a little stunned when he got a call from Calista. He thought Calista wouldn't look him up anymore. "You need a plane? To where?" Jarrett immediately sensed that something was up. There was no reason to borrow a plane unless she was headed for somewhere problematic.

Calista kept a calm voice and poker face on as she explained, "I need to get to the border of Turlen. There's war in Lostaria so there's also a travel ban on neighboring Turlen. But there's an herb that only grows at the border of Turlen that I need for Ambrose's treatment, and I'm the only one who would be able to find it." She could see that Jarrett wanted to ask more so she quickly cut him off, "Hurry up and make arrangements, otherwise we'll miss the season. Don't you want Ambrose to get well?" Jarrett finally budged. "Then I'll send people over to go with you." He wanted to say that he would go with her, but if he said so, Calista would definitely reject him, so he didn't say it in the end.

Calista nodded without much emotion and she was on a plane by afternoon.

Kallum had sent people to protect Calista secretly, but there was nothing they could do once Calista had boarded the plane.

They tried to report to Kallum, but Kallum was in the middle of a war and couldn't receive any news at all.

Calista told herself over and over again, she was just going there to save lives. She was grateful for being reborn, so in this life, she was determined to seek revenge for herself and to save the lives of others who needed help. The actions she was taking now were completely in line with that.

If only she could ignore the tension she felt in her bones - she was obviously worried about something.

The five men on the plane with her were bodyguards specially arranged by Jarrett, so she knew that the moment she even mentioned going to Lostaria, they would knock her out and turn the plane around.

So she had to keep herself together, calm down and shake them off! "Fly a little more southwards." "I can't go any further," the pilot replied. "Any further south and we'll hit the border of Lostaria. The entire airspace is locked down by missiles, and all planes that try to fly across will be shot down!" Calista couldn't do anything about that either, so she decided to land where they were.

The head of the bodyguards with her was called Sawyer Wackerman, and he felt that Calista didn't seem like she was here to pick herbs like what Jarrett had told him. She looked more like she was searching for a person.

After landing, four of them walked alongside Calista. Calista continued walking towards Lostaria and calmly said, "I'm looking for a blue flower that has twelve petals, no leaves and about the size of a fist. It can only be found in the primary forest that's along the border of the two countries. It's very rare and can't be found in the market because a lot of people don't know it has medicinal properties." Calista spoke very confidently and steadily, so Sawyer started to believe her. "Got it. As long as it can be used to treat Mr. Ambrose, we will definitely find it. This area is very dangerous, so Ms. Stafford must follow us very closely." He passed Calista a gun as he said so.

Calista took the gun from him and led the search.

Actually she wasn't really lying - that blue flower she described was really used in traditional medicine and there were reports that speople had cacross it in this region, but actually it was on the verge of extinction. If she had this flower, it would greatly help in clearing Ambrose's blood vessels, and it would only take three doses and acupuncture to heal Ambrose completely.

But Calista didn't think they would really find it. She had seen so many different herbs in her previous life but never cacross this flower, so perhaps it had already gone extinct.

After a day had passed, Calista was walking closer and closer to the border. Sawyer was anxious to find the herbs, but still pulled her back anyway.

"Ms. Stafford, we can't walk any further in this direction. Lostaria is a mess right now and just the few of us can't handle it. Or is the plant you're looking for within Lostaria?" Calista looked wistfully in Lostaria's direction. "I'm not really sure, but we could split up and search. You guys can stay here and I'll go over myself, I know what to do!" Sawyer insisted that Calista stay on this side of the border, so Calista frowned and pretended to go along with him. But at night, she cooked a large pot of soup for the four men using the mushrooms she had picked along the way.

In less than half an hour, all of them were lying on the floor and couldn't even speak - they had definitely eaten poisonous mushrooms.

Calista had measured out the amount very carefully, so she was sure they wouldn't die, but it would also take them stto recover.

After that, Calista poured spowder in a large circle around them so that wild animals would not approach them while they were unable to move.

Sawyer slowly regained his ability to speak but he couldn't stop Calista from leaving so he asked, "That blue flower...you...lied to us?" Calista shook her head. "Continue looking for it after you guys recover ok? There are reports that it can really be found in this area, and it will really be helpful to Ambrose." "Then you..." "I..." Calista hesitated for a moment. "I'm going to save slives." She slung her backpack on and said in a serious voice, "I must go!" With help from Kallum, the Lostarian government was able to remain in power and launched a powerful attack on the rebels, and there was hope for the country now. "How's everything?" Kallum accepted this mission from the government despite its risks to try to settle the conflict. But even though they had sent a lot of ammunition over, things were still not looking up.

A foreigner with deep set features stood across from Kallum and said, "Things aren't looking good. The enemy keeps misleading the citizens, saying that the Influenza T outbreak is an illness sent by God to punish the people. You know our country is very religious, so if the people listen to them and get brainwashed by them, we're in a very dangerous situation!" Kallum rubbed the spot between his eyebrows. He was very pale from his injuries he had to go right into the heart of the battle, and the few of them were carrying such conspicuous amounts of supeso they had been chased down by the rebels until they reached safely. So naturally he was injured, and was rather severely injured too.

"Where are the doctors? Influenza T is a strain of the K Virus, so since it's manmade, surely there's santiviral of sorts, right? You mean there's nobody who can find a cure?"

The other party was put in a spot by these questions. "There's no cure, because the rebels purposely m destroyed most of our hospitals before sending this Influenza T virus out, and many of our best doctors have died in the attack..." Kallum looked toward Quintus who was standing at one side, and Quintus frowned too.

"Our country is sending a medical team over to support the forces here, but it will take another nother two days for that to happen. The rebels have spent a lot of money to buy M2 missiles, and if we don't disarm them, any incoming planes might be shot down, so we need two days."

This was also why Kallum was risking his life here - the enemy was ed and made it slow very well prepared and and difficult for any aid to arrive. And even if the medical team arrived safely, nobody could be sure when they could find a cure for the Influenza T either.
