if I have to take on the world." Chapter 812 Scam

Misael, lieutenant general of the Golden Dragon Guard ordered the deployment of four T-30 Dragons and a Y-90 Carrier to escort Robin and Renee to Harminfield, Dragon Ridge Valley.

The T-30 fighter jet was Draconia's newest model, an eighth-generation aircraft far outpacing the F-35 Lightning II in speed, torque, stall resistance, and attack precision, Only 30 had been built, all currently in service with the Golden Dragon Guard.

Robin's group traveled with Misael and Martin, both lieutenant generals, along with Shirley, Daphne, and Rita.

Thirty elite soldiers from the Golden Dragon Guard's first squadron joined them, securing the flight with a transport plane.

The flight from Brighton's military airport to Harmonfield was quick, lasting just 25 minutes. They landed at Harmonfield Airport at 10:30 p.m...

Drake, leading the Dunn family's convoy, had been waiting at the airport for some

time.

As soon as the plane touched down, Robin and Renee, along with the others, quickly boarded the convoy's -vehicles and sped off toward Dragon Ridge Valley.

Ten minutes later, the convoy exited the airport highway and entered the city's south gate street.

But before they had gone far, the vehicles came to a sudden stop.

Robin glanced at his watch and turned to Drake. "What's happening up ahead?"

At that moment, Andrew, the Dunns' head butler, rushed up to the front of the car. "Mr. Ramsey, Mr. Dunn, there's a situation. Can we take a detour?"

Drake frowned, his impatience showing. "What's the problem? Is there an accident? Didn't we clear the roads ahead?"

Andrew hesitated, then glanced nervously at Robin. The roads were cleared, but this situation just came

1. up.

"A woman, about forty, is blocking the road. She's threatening to take her life and holding a sign. It's caused a crowd to gather, and the traffic's backed up."

Drake raised an eyebrow. "She's blocking the road with sign? Is she protesting? What's her issue?

"If she has a grievance, she should take it to the right people, Drake muttered. "Blocking traffic isn't the solution."

Robin, curious, asked. "What's going on with her?"

Andrew glanced at Martin before answering. "Her child was tricked into going to Menmary a few days ago. They received a call demanding 120 grand, threatening to have her child's kidneys removed by a local scam ring if they didn't pay. "We've seen a few cases like this in Harmonfield recently."noveldrama

Robin's brow furrowed. "Did they contact the city for help?"

Martin sighed. "I've heard about it. A few days ago, Henry mentioned that the city government had already met with some of the victims' families.

"Since it's a cross-border scam, the city and police can't get involved.

"He asked me to see if Draconia can step in and resolve it through official channels.

"I contacted the foreign affairs department," Martin said, his voice steady. "They told me this situation is tough to deal with.

"The usual procedures won't work," he added. "Even if the higher-ups get involved, it still has to go through Menmary's foreign affairs department.

"But that department is evasive," Martin went on.

They told me that the area is a no-man's land. It's full of complicated local connections. There are former warlords stationed there, and it's become a safe haven for criminals.

"These criminals, these scammers, hide out there. They work with the warlords to make drugs, run telecom scams, and even traffic human organs.

"In recent years, many young people from here have been lured there. Most of them never make it back.

"Some of them went looking for work. College students who couldn't pay tuition believed the false promises of high-paying jobs. They disappeared, and no one ever heard from them again. "Most of the victims are from Draconia."

Robin's expression darkened, his jaw tightening. "And there's nothing the higher-ups can do?

"Why can't we just send in a special forces team to clean it up? It's a no-man's land. How can there be any international repercussions?"

Martin shook his head. "Master Ramsey, it's not that simple...

Robin scoffed. "In the end, it's just cowardice and inaction! If nothing else works, we could always send in fighter jets to bomb the place into dust!"

At that moment, Andrew hurried over to them. "Mr. Ramsey, Mr. Dunn, the woman ahead just received a message and some photos from her son before he died. She had a heart attack and collapsed."

Robin paused, his expression momentarily frozen. Then he pushed open the car door. "Shirley, Daphne. stay with Renee. I'll check on this."

Martin and Drake followed Robin as they rushed toward the front of the convoy. Andrew quickly motioned to the security team, and they began clearing a path through the crowd.

Robin took out a silver needle and swiftly began working on the woman, targeting ten acupoints along her heart and liver meridians. After two minutes, the woman's eyes fluttered open.

She blinked, disoriented, before understanding what had happened.

Her face twisted in anger, and she shouted at Robin. her voice breaking. "Why did you save me? You've

only made it worse!

"I've lost everything. My son was tricked into going there. They took his kidneys and his heart, and now he's dead.

"My husband couldn't handle the grief. He drank all night and died yesterday. What's the point of me being alive now?

The crowd, hearing her story, murmured in sympathy. It was a tragedy that no one should ever have to

face.

Low voices spread through the onlookers.

"Why can't the police do something to rescue the kids who've been taken?"

"That place is a no-man's land, and it's overseas. It would cause an international uproar.

"Who cares if it's a no-man's land? What's all this nonsense about international opinions?

"It's just inaction. Nothing more."

"Stop with the nonsense! We're just regular people. How could we possibly understand all the complicated relationships involved?" "Complicated relationships? If I had the ability, I'd gather a team and wipe them all out."

Robin looked at the woman in silence as she sobbed. Then, he turned to Martin. "Have Henry sort something out," he instructed. With that, he got back into the car.

The Dunns' convoy resumed its journey toward Dragon Ridge Valley.

Robin's phone buzzed. It was a message from someone he hadn't heard from in a while.

It was from Piper.

"Robin, help me!"

At first, Robin thought it might be a scam. But when he checked the number, he realized it was really Piper.

Another message quickly followed.

"Robin, it's really me. I'm in Menmary. Can you send me 150 grand? If you don't, they'll take my heart.

"They said I have three days. If the money doesn't come by then, I'll die.

If you don't believe me, call this number, and I'll talk to you. Robin, please, I'm begging you.

"I know you're the only one who can save me."
