Chapter 851
But people like Blair had no room to resist.
"When you encounter a direct robbery, the best thing to do is to just give them what they want. Your life is more important," Gavin replied. "They don't rob just anyone; they observe first. They see if you really have money."
"That's terrifying," Elizabeth shook her head, almost in disbelief.
What kind of place was this?
No wonder Sheldon insisted that Blair accompany her.
It was really hard to handle things alone.
Unfortunately, Blair wasn't much help. In situations like this, Elizabeth needed a six-foot-tall guy to back her up.
As Elizabeth was eating, she suddenly heard a girl's scream from outside the door.
The sound was piercing and full of panic.
That voice was a bit familiar.
"Ah! Help!"
Upon hearing the cry for help, Elizabeth was certain—it was Blair!
Elizabeth immediately stood up and was about to push open the private room door. Gavin grabbed her and shook his head.
"Going out now won't save her. They just want the stuff; they won't hurt anyone."
Elizabeth was stunned. What did he mean?
Was she supposed to stay in the room and do nothing, knowing Blair was in danger?
She admitted Blair was annoying.
But to remain indifferent was something she just couldn't do.
"No way. Blair came with me, and I have to take her back safely." If something happened to Blair, Elizabeth would have a hard time explaining it to Sheldon.
"Ms. Percy, there will be several of them," Gavin reminded Elizabeth.
Elizabeth could see that Gavin was genuinely afraid of offending these people.
"You guys stay out of sight. I'll handle it myself. Can you please call the police for us?" Elizabeth asked Gavin.
Gavin hesitated, then nodded.
But even calling the police might not help.
The people here were all thugs.
There were so many robberies every day that the police couldn't keep up.
Elizabeth still pushed open the door.
"Ms. Percy, be careful," Zander said worriedly, but he couldn't do much to help.
Zander managed to get by in Dream City because he kept a low profile.
At the stairway, Blair was being dragged down by someone. "Hand over everything valuable you have!"
"Is there more? What's that? Take it off!"
"This is a bracelet. I can't take it off! It's a limited edition, and I really like it. I won't give it up!" Blair's words made the robber even more excited.
Limited edition? It must be worth a lot!
Sure enough, this woman was covered in valuable items.
Elizabeth quickly followed, "Hey!"
Elizabeth descended the stairs and finally saw the men clearly.
Four men, two quite young, and two in their forties.
One of the younger men had his arm around Blair's neck, dragging her.
The other three were helping, each holding a knife.
The knives looked old, with dried blood on the handles.
It was clear that this was a group of frequent robbers. They did this kind of thing often.
"Elizabeth! Elizabeth, help me!" Blair screamed.
The man tightened his grip on Blair's neck, "Keep it down!"
Elizabeth squinted. This meant they were still worried about being discovered.
"I have no money, I really have no money, don't hurt me. She, she has money!" Blair was so scared that she directly pointed at Elizabeth.
