Her Rebirth of Retribution
Chapter 26 Billion Dollar Deal

"Then you have to be careful."

Calista looked down and hid her face in the dark, "It's very dangerous to be interested in a woman. I can tell you now that if you fall for me, it won't be a pleasant experience."

Kallum couldn't help but laugh, "You seem very confident of yourself? Don't worry, I didn't fall for you for more than ten years, it will be impossible in the future."

Calista unexpectedly nodded in agreement and said hoarsely, "You're right...never mind ten odd years...even if I give you another ten odd years, you won't fall for me. I was just kidding earlier, don't worry. I know myself."

For some reason, Kallum could tell the bitterness in Calista's face. He suddenly felt a bitterness in his heart too, the feeling so quick and so urgent, it made him upset about what he just said earlier.

Calista opened her eyes again.

Since Kallum was so sincere, and she was so disadvantaged now, wasn't it a good chance to gain some advantage? So she suddenly said, "I don't need compensation, but I think we can strike a deal." Kallum put aside the confused and messy thoughts and asked in a serious voice, "What sort of deal?"

Calista replied, "I know you've always wanted to expand into the pharmaceutical industry, but you haven't found anyone brilliant enough to compete or surpass other companies' formulas and talents. But I can do that! We can have an agreement - within three years, I'll help your pharmaceutical company become a global competitor worth billions of dollars, and you will only have to do one thing for me."

What she just described sounded like an impossible dream, and Kallum wanted to laugh at her for being too ambitious. But when he saw the seriousness in Calista's eyes, he stopped breathing for a moment. "What do you want me to do?" Kallum couldn't help but ask. Calista curled her lips into a smile, exuding a different sort of elegance in the night sky. "I want to be the Fairchilds' goddaughter, a proper one, with actual power. Give me three years and I'll have a billion dollar company for you! Do we have a deal?"

If it were any other person standing in front of Kallum, he would definitely not listen to this crazy babbling.

But since it was Calista...she made him consider her proposal very seriously, even though it sounded impossible.

"A billion dollars isn't something you earn by just saying. Why should I believe that you can do it?"

Kallum's eyes sharpened - since Calista refused to make any requests and wanted to strike a deal instead, then he would follow the process of making a deal instead. He wanted to see how Calista was going to persuade him, since being the goddaughter of the Fairchilds was already worth billions in itself.

Calista rubbed her fists together and started walking towards him. "Because the Staffords have been palace doctors for nine generations."

"Because their skills have been passed down to me, and these are skills that nobody else has!"

She had already walked right in front of Kallum, standing extremely close to him.

Calista lifted her head, her wet hair drawing wavy lines on her face, exuding a merciless sort of beauty. "Well...if you don't believe me, I can prove it."

Just as she finished saying this, her expression suddenly focused, and the silver needle she prepared in her hands suddenly pierced right into Kallum's chest with incredible speed!

Kallum took a step back, holding his chest in shock and staring at her. In the next moment, he could feel heat from his chest, and even though he tried to replace it a few times, the needle had simply disappeared.

"What the hell did you do?!"

Calista suddenly stumbled but managed a smile, "Don't worry, this is a Heart Needle and will be naturally expelled from the body after a month. But during this one month, you will...be very energized...your senses heightened..."

Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly collapsed. Her body was already so tired, yet she still used such a difficult acupuncture technique, and it used up all the Energy left in her.

Kallum got a shock and held her in his arms, "What's wrong?!"

Calista weakly leaned on him - he smelled like sunshine, and she could only smell it at this distance...

She looked up at him, and even though she was becoming short of breath, her hand still managed to hold onto his shirt collar tightly, as if she was holding onto a rope that would rescue her from drowning waters. "I'm.....really good...I can do it Kallum, believe me! Just believe me this once..."

Her voice was very cold, and even though she was trying her best to convince him and persuade him, but Kallum could hear crying and perhaps shouting behind her words.

His handsome face grew serious, then he quietly said, "Ok, we have a deal."

Calista was elated to hear this. She had never thought it would be this easy to obtain support from Kallum. Her lips curled into a smile before she finally fainted.

Kallum realized her body was very cold and had even fainted, so he quickly called his family doctor to come over to take a look at her. Kallum's family doctor was an old man in his sixties named Shaun, and was highly skilled, so he didn't need to check much to conclude what happened to her.

"Over exhaustion, so she's fainted from just lack of energy. I believe she hasn't slept for at least thirty hours."

Kallum nodded, then started unbuttoning his shirt. "Also, can you help to check this? Earlier she stuck a needle in."

His long fingers pointed to a red dot on his chest with a strange look on his face, because after Calista inserted that needle, he realized that he suddenly felt awake, and all the tiredness from the day had disappeared, but he wasn't sure if it was because of that one needle. Shaun Yancey, the Fairchilds' family doctor, initially did not think much of it, but after he realized where the red dot was, he couldn't tear his eyes away! "Did you say...a needle went in here?"

Kallum nodded and frowned, "Is there a problem?"

Shaun leaned forward to take a closer look, and then started clicking his tongue, "That's really amazing, this sort of Energy Locking Needle technique has been lost for a long time. Legend has it that this sort of acupuncture can lock a person's energy and protect the heart, so if someone is close to dying, this technique can preserve his life.

Wow I'm really impressed, I thought nobody knew how to do this anymore, but this young lady knows such an advanced acupuncture technique...don't worry, this needle will come out by tomorrow. But why did she do this to you?" Kallum frowned, because what Calista mentioned was not Energy Locking Needle, but Heart Needle, so he didn't answer the doctor, but asked, "Then what's Heart Needle? Do you know anything about this?"

The old man was stunned by this question - he didn't expect Kallum to know this term.

He squinted his eyes and thought for a while before speaking, "Heart Needle is the most advanced of all Energy Locking Needle techniques! Apparently this needle will use the active Energy of the acupuncturist to protect the heart of the patient. So during the month that the needle remains inside, even if the patient is severely injured or close to death, he will not die, and it will help to

improve blood flow and Energy flow, giving the patient an Energy boost.

But then again, this sort of technique was only written in ancient historical records, and nobody knows if it's real. Besides, in this modern world of medical science, who really has this so called active Energy?"
