Chapter 220 Beat the Loan Shark!
Robin tossed his phone at the man who professed to be a lawyer. "Contact the authorities and inform them that I'm holding you against your will and hit you!"
The man stood in shock. This tactic felt unusual.
"You detain people illegally and even use force. Aren't you worried the police will come for you?"
With a sharp smack, Robin slapped the man's face once more. "I've just assaulted you and detained you illegally. So go ahead, call the police!"
A flicker of fear crossed the man's face.
He hadn't anticipated that Robin would show no fear at all, even when he displayed his lawyer's license.
He highlighted the reality that Robin was illegally detaining and attacking people, yet the other man remained unfazed.
"Are you truly not scared?" The man continued to doubt him.
"Quit your chatter!" Robin struck the man's face once more. "If you don't contact the police, I'll keep hitting you!"
A group of men nearby stood in shock at the scene unfolding before them.
This was the first time they had come across such a tactic.
One of the men, observing Robin's behavior, cautiously asked, "Do you have any idea who our backer is?"
"I don't care who your backer is!" Robin retorted, gesturing toward the security chief.
"If they don't call the police, you'll need to have them explain how the loan shark operation works! If they stay quiet, you'll keep striking them until they talk!"
The Security Chief faltered, "Mr. Ramsey, this ... this is illegal ... "
Robin fixed his gaze on the security chief, "Well, you're fired."
Turning to a young, muscular security guard standing behind him, he asked, "What's your name? Are you brave enough to take charge? If you are, you'll be the new Security Chief."
"I'm Miguel Ashford, and I'm ready to take it on, Mr. Ramsey!" The young guard responded eagerly, then lifted his hand and began to slap several men one by one with great force.
Watching this unfold, the security chief quickly interjected, "Mr. Ramsey, I ... I'll handle it ... "
"It's too late!" Robin dismissed him, focusing intently on the newly appointed security chief, Miguel Ashford."
Before long, the security's meeting room echoed with the howls of despair.
Robin led Rosalie into another room. "What's happening?" he asked.
Reluctantly, Rosalie began to explain everything: her mother's illness and how her younger brother borrowed money from TrustGen Loans, signing a loan agreement.
Back then, she had been focused on her thesis, completely unaware of these issues.
Her mother was in the hospital, and her brother had taken on the responsibility by himself.
It wasn't until he was overwhelmed that he confessed to her about borrowing from the online loan sharks, leading to the predicament they faced today.
"I'm sorry, Robin," Rosalie said softly, lowering her head. "I've caused trouble for you again. I'll find a way to pay them back little by little ... "
"You're really planning to pay them back?" Robin laughed. "You don't need to repay this money!
"How much does your mother need now? Hold on. Let Shawn know, and he'll handle it for you."
Fifteen minutes passed, and Robin Ramsey returned to the meeting room.
By this time, Miguel had already left several men bruised and battered.
"Mr. Ramsey, I followed your orders," Miguel reported respectfully, playing a recording that showed the men's loan sharking activities.
Robin gave him a firm pat on the shoulder, pleased. "Excellent! Keep all this evidence secure. For now, lock these guys up in the basement parking lot."
He then dialed his phone. "Shawn, I need a favor. How many people do you have ready in Abyssal Dominion?"
On the other end, Shawn responded instantly, "Mr. Ramsey, I can rally 500 people in ten minutes, and 1,000 within the hour. Do you need backup now? Who's the target?"
Robin chuckled. "No one's getting taken out. I just need everyone in Abyssal Dominion to help by borrowing some money."
"Borrow money?" Shawn sounded confused on the line.
"Mr. Ramsey, if you need cash, Abyssal Dominion's funds are at your disposal. Just tell me how much, and I'll send it over immediately."
Robin laughed. "No, I don't need a cent. I want every one of your men to grab their phones, register on the TrustGen Loans app, and each take out the maximum loan."
Shawn hesitated, still puzzled. "TrustGen Loann? I've heard of it—it's a loan shark operation. Mr. Ramsey, if they crossed you, I can have the entire place shut down on your word!"
"No need for that, Shawn. Just have your men max out their loans on TrustGen Loans—all at once! Take every cent they're willing to lend.
"Then, don't pay it back. When their collectors come knocking, give them a beating every time!"
"I got it, Mr. Ramsey!" Shawn replied, a note of excitement in his voice.
"We directly manage around 1,000 people in Abyssal Dominion, and I can round up another 5,000 in Harmonfield to take care of this!
"Mr. Ramsey, trust me. I'll see this through until TrustGen Loans is bankrupt!"
Ten minutes later, the TrustGen Loans branch in Harmonfield saw an unexpected flood of activity.
