Even so, all eyes were still fixed on him. Howard personally took the disease detector from the assistant prosecutor and used pre-prepared blood samples to publicly test its uracy. "This is infected blood, and this is normal blood." Howard introduced the two bowls of blood in front of him with a serious expression and then used the disease detector to test them. The infected blood made the detector glow red, while the normal blood made it glow green.? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.
After confirming the detector was working correctly, Howard carefully sterilized it and said to Kallum, "Mr. Kallum, my apologies."
However, Kallum refused the blood collection needle handed to him. With a flick of his finger, an exquisite, gem-encrusted knife appeared at his fingertips.
Slowly, he made a small cut on his fair fingertip, and immediately, blood droplets started to emerge. Howard handed him the disease detector, while Ryder offered a bowl of water on the other side.
"Wait! I object!" Harvey hurriedly stood up. "There''s definitely something wrong with that water! Last time, Kallum used special water to deceive everyone right before their eyes!"
His adamant words made Kallum raise an eyebrow in displeasure. "Are you saying that if I do not use this water and directly test my blood, you''ll believe the results?"
He nced disdainfully at the detector in his hand. "So, you want me to touch my own finger with this detector that is just been exposed to the infected blood?"
"You are scared, aren''t you?" Harvey, not understanding Kallum''s intentions and seeing him hesitate, grew agitated.
Kallum gave him a mocking look, and Calista stepped forward, drinking the purified water from the bowl in one gulp. Sheughed mockingly, "There, no more water. I hope you will not make more baseless ims when the test resultse out, Mr. Wolford. One should know their ce. Right now, you are not in a position to make too many demands."
Seeing Calista drink the water, Harvey knew it was safe. He felt increasingly uneasy, unsure of Kallum''s next move.
Controlled by the bodyguards, he was forced to sit back down, while others cast looks of mild disdain his way. If it weren''t for the formal setting, the Fairchild family might have thrown him out already.
Kallum did not hesitate further. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he slowly brought the detector closer to his bleeding fingertip. At that moment, a dark glint flickered in his eyes.
Outwardly, his demeanor was as casual as ever, as if this press conference was just a routine formality.
What color would the detector emit? Given Kallum''s calm demeanor, it must be green.
As soon as the detector touched Kallum''s blood, it quickly emitted a green light.
This scene silenced many, especially those causing trouble. They had helped orchestrate this press conference, driven by the belief that Kallum was guilty. Now, if Kallum was proven innocent, who should they me?
No, Kallum is undoubtedly connected to this! The K Virus outbreak was clearly aimed at him, making us coteral damage in this battle!
Until the mastermind was caught, the Fairchild family remained their enemy. Lives were at stake, and they were implicated by the Fairchild family.
"Are you satisfied now?" Kallum''s voice broke the eerie silence.
"No, this can''t be!" Harvey finally snapped out of his daze. Held down by bodyguards, he could not stand, but his dissatisfied voice echoed through the venue. "I know! The detector must be faulty!"
His words made Howard frown. He stared at Harvey, "Are you implying I am covering for a suspect?"
Harvey''s heart skipped a beat under Howard''s displeased gaze, but he could not afford to care. If he could not bring Kallum down, he''d be dead by tomorrow! Fear had no ce now. He could only grit his teeth and shout, "Who knows? Your family has ties with the Fairchild family. Who knows if Kallum bribed you to..."
Howard''s cold words silenced Harvey. Sweat poured from his forehead as the bodyguards tightened their grip, but his defiant eyes darted between Howard and Kallum, seeking any opportunity. Seeing Harvey''s defiance falter, Aaron Murray, the head of the Murray family suddenlyughed. Surrounded by reporters and the crowd, he appeared calm and vigorous.
"If you continue spouting nonsense, I''ll have you arrested for nder!"
"It seems everyone is quite unconvinced..."
At his words, Calista and Kallum exchanged a subtle nce. Here ites!
Aaron continued nonchntly, "It is
understandable for people to be skeptical about malfunctioning devices. And Mr. Kallum is here today to clear his name, isn''t he? So
BUMS
what harm in taking an extra step or two?"
