English term or phrase: There was no denying that one.
The gunshot, though, was something els. I¡d seen the expression on the ma's face, watched the blood well up between his fingers fro a wound that I have caused. No. There was no denying that one.

Mi propuesta:
No obstante, el disparo fue algo más. Había visto la expresión en la cara del hombre, miraba la sangre entre sus dedos de una herida que yo había causado. No. No podía negarlo.
