?<strong>Chapter 605:</strong>
Luckily, Griffin was preupied and didn’t approach Kallie. He was a living testament to a sessful, albeit controversial experiment, drawing many curious onlookers who bombarded him with questions.
The cost of undergoing such an experiment was astronomical, starting at a minimum of 100 million, with participants signing a liability waiver beforemencement. Should anything go awry during or after the experiment, the Perry family would be absolved of responsibility.
Despite the steep costs and significant risks, the allure of rejuvenation drew many annually, and even those not interested used the gathering towork.
The immoral dealings had significantly contributed to the Perry family’s immense wealth.
Kallie found the scene ironic, watching the refined yet ruthlessly self-serving elite. By her calctions, Saniya’s task should have beenpleted by then.
As expected, chaos erupted shortly after.
Feigning ignorance, Kallie edged closer to the source of the upheaval, where screams filled the air.
Suddenly, Anna emerged, her white dress sttered with blood, amidst several bloodied bodies.
The sight triggered screams of horror, further aggravating Anna, whose bloodshot eyes darted through the crowd before she charged toward the disturbance.
Bodyguards converged on the scene, but Anna, with remarkable strength and agility, dodged their attempts and continued her rampage, wounding several more in the ensuing chaos.
Kallie, sensing an opportunity, purposefully headed toward the disturbance.
Ernesto arrived just as the situation escted. Witnessing Anna’s frenzied state nearly made him faint from fury.
Anna’s rampage had not only imed the lives of bodyguards but also that of several affluent guests, each worth a fortune, striking a harsh blow to Ernesto’s financial interests.
His voice heavy with lethal intent, Ernesto ordered, “Do whatever necessary to subdue Anna. It doesn’t matter if she survives.”
The bodyguards responded affirmatively and sprang into action.
In the tumult, Ernesto’s gaze fell on Kallie struggling in the crowd. Fear for her safety momentarily overcame him, and he shouted, “What are you standing there for? If anything happens to the children she’s carrying, none of you will survive!”
Kallie had hoped to remain unnoticed by Ernesto as she navigated through the crowd. She gritted her teeth against the pain and moved determinedly toward the center, calling out for assistance. She knew chaos was her ally in escape. She just needed to endure until Jake could reach her.
However, her presence didn’t go unnoticed for long.
“There she is! Be quick! She looks unsteady!” one bodyguard shouted.
Another grumbled in frustration, “Managing her in this state is troublesome. Ernesto mentioned we might need to handle her delivery tonight to avoid further issues.” Bolstered by a surge of adrenaline, Kallie pressed on.
