Just as Clara was about to squeeze into the crowd, I strode forward and grabbed her wrist. At the same time, I lifted my other arm to block Jennifer. “Wait. Don’t go.” My voice wasn’t loud, but it carried a certainty that didn’t allow argument.
Clara turned back, confused. “Amanda? What’s wrong?” Jennifer frowned too, following my gaze toward the men selling tickets.
I didn’t explain. I walked straight up to the middle-aged men waving posters and shouting, my steps steady, my eyes sharp as blades. “Are you sure these are tickets for Avi and Alan’s fan meet?”
The lead guy saw me approaching and assumed I was here to buy. He immediately plastered on a flattering smile. “Good eye, kid! Just 299 Crowns and you’ll meet two legends. Don’t think-act. Want one?”
“I’m asking you-are you sure it’s real?” I repeated, my tone colder. “If you’re using fake information to lure people into buying, that’s fraud. Under Howlstead law, once the amount hits a certain threshold, you go to prison.”
The moment those words landed, the man’s smile froze. His expression changed violently. He shot me a dark, hostile look and waved, trying to drive me off. “Little girl, stop spouting nonsense! You’re here to cause trouble! If you can’t afford it, get lost. Don’t block other students from buying!”
More and more students were drawn by the commotion, stopping to watch.
I didn’t change my expression. I pulled out my phone, unlocked it, and placed my finger on the enforcement squad call screen. “Whether it’s nonsense or not, we can let the enforcers decide. Scamming students at the academy gate like this-targeted-makes it even more
serious.”
The men panicked on the spot. The leader’s eyes hardened. He stepped forward, reaching to snatch my phone, his voice turning vicious. “I’m warning you-don’t push your luck! Put that phone away, or we won’t be nice!”
I shifted aside, avoiding his hand. My phone stayed locked in my palm. A cold smile tugged at my lips. “What? Exposed, so you’re embarrassed and ready to throw punches?”
The crowd thickened. The murmurs grew louder.
Those men clearly didn’t want this to blow up. The leader glared at me and spat out, “Just you wait.” Then, he hurriedly signaled his partners to pack up. They fled in a sorry rush.

The moment they left, Jennifer and Clara rushed over. Jennifer’s eyes were full of shock. “They were actually scammers?” Clara patted he chest, pale with fear. “Thank God you stopped us. Otherwise, I would’ve fallen for it today!”
“Amanda, you were so brave! You actually confronted them head-on!” Clara looked at me like I was a hero. “Scammers will do anything for money. I was scared they’d hit you.”
“Relax. I’m fine.” I put my phone away, tone cal. “Alan is a peace ambassador. Tickets for any public event would be sold through official channels. There’s no way random guys are hawking them at the academy gate. And besides Avi would never do a fan meet.”
