Chapter 295
Hearing the news, Herman quickly turned his head to check on Keeley.
Naylor was a crack shot, every time he fired, the target was almost always hit. Those he knocked down
had little chance of survival. And Keeley… had been shot in the chest.
“How is he?” Naylor asked, struggling to get the words out. “Is there any hope?”
Herman hesitated before replying, “No pulse. He’s gone.”
When Naylor heard that, he took a couple of deep breaths then said, “Call the police. Get an
ambnce.”
Herman, still kneeling beside Keeley, didn’t answer.
“Herman?” Naylor suddenly called his name.
Herman turned around, then something suddenly appeared in his hand.
Upon seeing it, Naylor’s face changed slightly. “What is that?”
“It is a mini-camera,” Herman slowly replied. “I found it on him.”
“No way!” Naylor blurted out.
“Why would you say no way?” Herman shot back, his eyes sharp and filled with pain.
Naylor was at a loss for words.
Probably because Herman had this mini camera in his hand that was too obtrusive that he lost his mind
and blurted out the words.
His denial was two-fold: firstly, he firmly believed Keeley would never betray him, and secondly, he had
checked Keeley’s body when he fell and found nothing out of the ordinary.
But now, where did this mini-camerae from?
“I just think it’s strange…” he panted, “Let me see it.”
But Herman stood up suddenly and looked at him, “You deal with your wounds first. I left my phone in
the car. I’ll call the police and ambnce.”
After saying that, Herman was about to leave, but Naylor stopped him immediately, “Herman!”
“Don’t worry,” Herman reassured as he walked away, “I’ll take good care of this camera. If I find
anything, I’ll let you know right away.”
Then Naylor was silent for a while, and then his voice became low and hoarse, “That’s enough.”
Herman slowly stopped and turned around, only to see the barrel of Naylor’s gun pointed at him.
“Give me the camera,” Naylor said wearily.
Clearly, he had had enough of this game and he didn’t want to continue.
Herman’s face was calm, but his eyes were filled with despair. “You called me here to be your witness,
didn’t you?”
“You’ve overstepped,” Naylor replied.
Herman sneered, “Or was this all part of your n?”
Naylor just watched him, not denying it.
From the moment he received the call from Keeley, he had a n in mind. No matter what Keeley
intended to do, he wouldn’t give him. another opportunity. And conveniently, Keeley had kidnapped his
wife, offering him the perfect opportunity.
But that wasn’t enough, he needed a perfect witness, and Herman, who had grown suspicious, was the
perfect choice.
If he could sessfully kill Keeley and have Herman testify, then everything would be perfect.
But if things went wrong, like now…
“If you kill me, you can pin the me on Keeley,” Herman said slowly, “Keeley bes the kidnapper
and murderer. I be the unfortunate police officer who lost his life in the line of duty, and you… the
victim and the self-defender, solving two major problems at once. Perfect, isn’t it?”
Naylor didn’t answer, but his eyes darkened.
Just then, Herman moved quickly.
Almost simultaneously, Naylor’s gun fired again!
Herman managed to dodge in time, but Naylor was no amateur. Even though Herman dodged, the
bullet still hit his shoulder!
Herman fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
Naylor slowly approached him, Herman looked at him and said with difficulty, “Why?”
“Everyone has their own path. There’s no why,” Naylor responded slowly.
Hermanughed, “When I found out it was you, I was heartbroken. I hoped it was all a
misunderstanding, or some sort of mistake…”
Naylor shook his head slowly, seemingly unwilling to say more.
“You were my mentor, and yet you can kill me without hesitation… I really… should admire you…”
Hermanughed again.

“You chose this,” Naylor said.
Just as he finished speaking, a distant sound approached, from faint to clear.
It was a siren.
The cops were here!
Naylor’s face paled slightly as he looked at Herman..
“I called the police a while ago,” Herman said. “Can you really exin yourself if you kill me now?”
Naylor listened and said slowly, “You’re two dead people. Why can’t I exin it clearly myself?” With
that, he aimed the gun at Herman’s chest again.
But just then, a sigh came from behind him.
Naylor’s face changed again.
Keeley, who was supposedly dead, had somehow managed to get back on his feet.
Rubbing his chest, he looked at Naylor, “But I’m still alive. How are you going to exin that?”
Naylor, infuriated, immediately fired.
Herman, using all his strength, tackled Naylor to the ground.
Both men were covered in blood, wrestling on the floor.
When the police burst in, Keeley looked at the two men on the ground, took a couple of steps back, put
his hands over his head, and crouched down.
Seraphina rushed to the hospital as soon as she heard the news, but she didn’t see Herman until the
evening.
Leandro also came to the hospital, apanying her to see Herman.
The other police officers from Herman’s team were also in the room, their faces grim.
After all… the one being arrested was Naylor.
Herman had rernoved the bullet and given his statement. He looked wiped out and a bit spaced out.
“You okay?” Seraphina immediately rushed over and asked, “You alright?”
Herman lifted his head to look at her, then turned to Leandro, and finally said to Seraphina, “Don’t
sweat it, Keeley’s fine, my mentor… Naylor, he’s been nabbed on the spot.”
After hearing this, Seraphina heaved a big sigh of relief.
She had initially thought this would happenter.
Even though they had confirmed Naylor was the head honcho of the criminal gang, they never had any
concrete evidence to pin him down. This time, Herman took the risk and finally bagged solid evidence.
No matter what, Naylor was guilty as sin, no wiggle room. “You’ve worked hard.” Seraphina said.
Herman nced at her and slowly said, “You were right to rope in Keeley. This time, he helped me.”
