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!

Imdiately 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 imdiately 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 mont.

"Bang!"

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

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

A figure slowly walked in, and Sigong Cheng searched his entire mory, 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 seed 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 rchant cards he carried.

Su Qi handed over another one.

"I am the chairman of The Hustlers Chamber of Comrce, 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 comrce 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 hamr 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 Comrce pop up?

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

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

No matter the conditions, he would first agree to buy ti. 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 sothing. 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 mont.

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 seed sothing 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 ti 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 imdiately."

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 beco part of his body. The Phoenix Feather's traits hadn't fully rged yet, but its strength was still present.

With his [Spiritual Eyes] Concrete Ability, under the right environnt, 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 so Phoenix legends... ah no, stories of the Phoenix rebirth, making her subconsciously desire sothing—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.
