The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle-Chapter 168 - 149 Nancy: Bad Luck!_2

"But..."

"There are no buts." Sigong Cheng now doesn't want to manage anything: "Whoever it is, let him go."

"It's not... he..."

The assistant, on the verge of tears, said: "He... has a knife at my throat..."

"Click!"

The assistant's voice disappeared!

Immediately after, a faint voice rang out: "Family Head of Sigong, stand still, I'll be there shortly."

Sigong Cheng's expression changed in shock, his reflexes sharp as he prepared to immediately access the hospital's system to sound the alarm.

But he found that the entire hospital system failed to respond.

Then.

He and his wife both turned towards the door to the hallway, where footsteps were slowly approaching.

His wife looked terrified: "Who is it?"

"I don't know, but it doesn't matter. You go hide and protect our daughter, I'll handle this."

With a grim face, Sigong Cheng quickly locked the door and motioned for his wife to hide in the ward. Although he didn't know why the hospital's network had been blocked, he was determined to protect his wife and daughter no matter what.

The next moment.

"Bang!"

The door to the corridor was smashed through with a hammer.

Sigong Cheng's face changed slightly, and he stepped back.

A figure slowly walked in, and Sigong Cheng searched his entire memory, only to realize he had never seen this person before.

"What... do you want to do?" Sigong Cheng's palm revealed a gun, aiming at Su Qi with a very serious tone. Night City is not short of dangerous, mad people who consider their kind of elite their enemy. It seemed this person was one of them.

"Don't be nervous."

Su Qi handed over a business card: "Here is my business card."

"Erotic prosthetics for sale....." Sigong Cheng's eyes widened as he looked at the pink card.

"Oh, sorry, I picked up the wrong one."

It was normal to pick up the wrong card out of the many merchant cards he carried.

Su Qi handed over another one.

"I am the chairman of The Hustlers Chamber of Commerce, here to negotiate a deal with you."

"..."

Sigong Cheng quietly looked at the crudely hand-drawn logo on the card, his gaze wary as he took it.

The Hustlers...

"A chamber of commerce I've never heard of." He said calmly, while his fingertips subtly moved, continuously trying to sound the alarm.

"Understandable, since it was only established recently." Su Qi glanced at Sigong Cheng: "Stop trying to send out an alarm, this hospital has been blocked, for at least about ten minutes."

He smiled gently: "So screaming your head off is useless."

"..."

"How much money do you want? I can give it to you." After failing in his attempts, Sigong Cheng chose to compromise and stabilize the other party, especially since his wife and daughter were in the ward behind him.

"You are mistaken, Mr. Sigong."

Su Qi spoke softly: "I am a respectable person, not a robber. Have you ever seen such a polite robber?"

"....." Sigong Cheng looked at the door smashed open by a hammer and fell silent.

You call this polite?!

He said sternly: "What do you want."

"My business will soon be established in Illegal Land, but I need your support."

Illegal Land...

Wasn't that place under the rule of Black Emperor and Jile's Crowd? When did The Hustlers Chamber of Commerce pop up?

And since Illegal Land had been closed due to the crackdown, how could he still come out?

However, Sigong Cheng did not hesitate: "I can support you."

No matter the conditions, he would first agree to buy time. Once the ten minutes passed, he believed the response team would also arrive quickly.

"Don't be so quick to agree, it's not a small matter." Su Qi said calmly: "Besides, I will also offer you conditions that will make you satisfied."

Sigong Cheng was slightly taken aback. The other party had barged in so boldly, he had thought... they were going to do something. But now, they were actually negotiating terms.

He said in a deep voice: "Such as."

No matter what the conditions were, Sigong Cheng was ready to negotiate with the other person.

Su Qi tapped the thick glass of the ward: "For instance... allowing your daughter to live a little longer."

Sigong Cheng's expression froze, slightly stunned.

At this moment.

Mrs. Sigong held her daughter tightly, gaze trembling as she looked through the glass of the ward. She couldn't hear what the two were discussing, but seeing her husband's stunned look and then his silence, it seemed something had happened, causing him to be troubled.

Then, after five seconds.

The criminal spoke again, and Sigong Cheng made up his mind, slowly walking toward the door to open it.

"What are you going to do!" Mrs. Sigong's gaze was wary as she stared at Su Qi intently.

"Obviously, to save your daughter, Mrs. Florence Grace."

"..." The wife was taken aback, how did the other person know her online ID? But now was not the time to worry about that, she looked towards her husband.

Sigong Cheng shook his head: "Let him try. He said if it's useless, he will leave immediately."

He had no choice.

The conditions proposed by the other party left no room for refusal, even if there was just a sliver of hope, he wanted to grasp it.

[Concrete]

Su Qi slowly extended his hand, under their skeptical gazes, and materialized a feather. After his successful job transfer, the Ancient God's Heart had become part of his body. The Phoenix Feather's traits hadn't fully merged yet, but its strength was still present.

With his [Spiritual Eyes] Concrete Ability, under the right environment, logic, degree of belief from the other party, and difference in spiritual power, he managed to materialize it as a Tool. The effect was discounted, but it could still trigger the power within.

Especially since these last few days weren't spent in vain chatting with her, periodically telling her some Phoenix legends... ah no, stories of the Phoenix rebirth, making her subconsciously desire something—how wonderful it would be if such a feather could cure her illness.

Every person lying on a sickbed has imagined such a thing, longing for a miracle to happen.
