Chapter 155 Rushing Toward Death
Cameron’s face instantly dropped when she saw the middle–aged man making a run for it. She cursed internally, ‘What the hell is Xander doing here now? He just had to show up and mess everything up.
She was this close to closing in on the guy, and just like that, the 350,000–dollar reward was slipping through her fingers. There was no way she was letting that happen without a fight.
Shooting Xander a quick, irritated glare, she sprang up from the flower bed and took off in a dead sprint after the fleeing man,
Xander blinked in confusion as she ran. “Ms. Wallace? Why are you running? It’s me, Xander. Don’t you recognize me?”
As he jogged forward, he yanked off his helmet, assuming she hadn’t seen who he was because his face had been covered.
But Cameron didn’t so much as glance back–she just picked up her pace, her figure vanishing around the corner in seconds because the man had vanished from her sight.
Xander hadn’t expected “Milena” to just keep running. He froze for a second, then hurried after her, calling out, “Ms. Wallace. Wait up, Ms. Wallace!”
But when he finally reached the corner, she was nowhere to be seen. Slightly out of breath and more than a little frustrated, Xander cursed under his breath, annoyed with himself for not chasing her the second she’d moved.
If he had reacted even a second faster, he was sure he would have caught up.
Tonight, “Milena” really did seem different–softer, lighter, but somehow even more beautiful than before.
No matter what style she wore, something about her always made his heart skip. She was exactly his type.

Cameron tore through the streets after the middle–aged man, her steps light and precise. He glanced over his shoulder, thinking it was Xander chasing him, and broke into a full sprint.
He’d committed more than a few crimes and had been in hiding for a while, so he was out of shape. No matter how many turns he took or corners he cut, Cameron stayed right on his heels.
Eventually, he made a sharp turn successfully unlocked find it led to a dead end. Chest
heaving, he spun around, only to freeze when he saw Cameron already standing behind him.
A slow grin spread across his face. “I’ve never seen anyone so eager to run to their

own death.”
Cameron, perfectly composed and not even out of breath, tilted her head with an innocent smile. “Death? Sir, what are you talking about?”
The man didn’t hesitate and pulled a razor blade from his pocket, holding it up. “You really haven’t seen the news lately?”
Cameron blinked. “What news?”
He let out a sharp, dry laugh. “You’re actually serious? You really haven’t heard? Goodness, you’re even dumber than you look.”
Cameron looked at him curiously. “Sir, what are you doing with that knife?”
He sneered, “What do you think? I’m here for your life.”
Cameron’s face instantly shifted, filling with terror. She hugged her arms around herself and took a shaky step back. “But Sir…I don’t even know you. Why would you want to hurt me? I only chased after you because I was worried!”
“That’s exactly why you’re stupid,” he spat. “Let me make this real clear. I’m the serial killer that’s been all over the news in Viremont.”
Cameron’s eyes lit up. “Really? So you’re the killer?”
He stared at her, thrown by her reaction. “You’re not scared? You actually look…excited.”
She beamed. “Sir, did you know the police are offering a 350,000–dollar reward for your capture? If I turn you in, I get the money. How could I not be happy?”
He stood frozen for a beat, blinking at her like she’d lost her mind. “You? Turn me in? That’s rich. You’ll be dead by morning, and I bet when they find your body, the bounty goes even higher.”
Cameron shrugged. “I’m not greedy. 350,000 dollars is plenty for me.”
“Cut the crap!” the man snapped. With that, he charged at Cameron. As a grown man with a weapon, he figured taking care of Cameron would be as easy as it was with those other girls.
However, he had never been so wrong about anything in his life before.
