"What are you talking about?" Eudora said, "Even if the police come, they will definitely arrest you!"
Kesha burst into a fit of laughter, "How is that possible? The police will only arrest those who had committed a crime. Amos has killed Steven. Obviously, the police will catch him!"
Eudora frowned. She glanced around and found Steven lying on the ground. She wasn't sure if he was still alive.
"You! You were the one who did this!" Eudora said.
Kesha immediately started laughing, "Aren't you smart, big sister? But... it's too late now!"
She then turned around and saw that the police were only several hundred meters away and heading up the mountain!
Unexpectedly, Harley sneered.
"Look closer!"
Kesha was stunned. She looked at them carefully this time. There were two men whom she didn't recognize behind the group of policemen.
"What's going on? That's..."
Eudora recognized Charlie and Wesley behind the group of policemen, and she immediately felt the weight lifting off her shoulders.
"Did you think that you were the only one who could call the police? Miss Kesha, have you forgotten what I do?" Harley asked coldly.
The next second, Kesha's eyes popped wide open.
"Harley, you took advantage of your position. I'm going to report you! You deserve to die!"
Harley stood his ground. "I have nothing to be afraid of, feel free to report me as you like. You're coming with us to the police station. We would like to know what happened to your mother. You may report me then!"
After that, Harley pretended to walk towards Kesha.
Kesha panicked. She thought that she would succeed for sure. Everything was going according to plan, but why did it turn out like this in the end?
She didn't want to go to the police station. She didn't want to become a lunatic like Felix.
She shouted at those thugs hurriedly. "What are you looking at? Seize them!"
The thugs hesitated, unsure whether they should complete the mission. After all, they hadn't gotten the money yet. However, after seeing how flustered Kesha was, they knew that her plan had failed.
Not to mention, there were so many policemen coming.
The leader of the thugs immediately waved his hand to his men and ordered, "Retreat!"
There was no better time to run than now.
However, Harley was not planning to them run away! Many of them were criminals who managed to escape the law before. Now that they had come out of hiding, wouldn't his reputation be ruined if he didn't catch them?
Harley chased after the thugs instinctively while Charlie, Wesley, and the others trailed behind him.
Only Amos, Kesha, Eudora, and Clint were left at the scene. Steven, however, was lying on the ground unconscious in a pool of blood.
Clint went over hurriedly and pulled Eudora away from Kesha. "Mrs. Granger, are you alright?"
Eudora shook her head. The next second, she saw the blood all over Amos' body. The smell of blood instantly filled her nostrils. "Are you alright?"
Eudora asked with concern flooding in her eyes.
"I'm fine, it's just a cut!" Amos said with a smile.
