Calista didn't answer. Even if he wanted to respond, he couldn't speak. Instead, he fixed his gaze on the ground, staring at the dust beneath him. In his mind, he screamed wildly:
"Charles!"
"Die! I want you dead! It's all because of you!"
"I will make you, just like me, humiliated in front of everyone, and make you wish you were dead!"
Although it was Callum who had struck him, Calista's hatred was now directed solely at Charles. He didn't even stop to think about why this had happened. In his mind, anyone who made him uncomfortable and was weak in power deserved to be deliberately targeted by Cassian.
The reason the incident had occurred was that he had underestimated Charles's strength. If there was a next time, he would make sure things went differently!
In Calista's view, Callum was merely upholding the Black Market's rules and order, not deliberately targeting him.
