The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle Chapter 176 152: A New Force in Night City! The Hustlers Cha

Sigong Cheng looked at the wristwatch for the latest news transmitted from Main City and nodded, sitting in his seat unable to take his eyes off it for a long ti.

After a while,

His pupils trembled slightly and he closed the panel. Then he walked to the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down from high above at Night City, filled with money, madness, and cruelty.

"I didn't expect... he actually did it."

Jile's Crowd and the Black Emperor were wiped out, and the forces dispatched by Main City fled in disarray.

Illegal Land... had beco the turf of The Hustlers Chamber of Comrce, which no one had ever heard of before.

"It took just ten days."

Since Sigong Cheng had been approached by Su Qi, he naturally investigated the other party's information and everything about The Hustlers Chamber of Comrce.

Regarding him personally, he only discovered his civilian information and that he was a courier for a pollution treatnt delivery company ten days ago.

As for The Hustlers Chamber of Comrce, its traces were found through various products flowing into Main City.

He didn't know whether to sigh or admire.

"The storm was stirred by the power of one man."

All the factors were not caused by him, yet he used them all.

Sigong Cheng said with a hint of bitterness, "Including myself."

Since the other party really did it, the things he had promised before needed to be fulfilled, not only for the sake of his daughter but also for his principles.

This was not rely a matter of verbal support.

"Let's begin."

Sigong Cheng, as one of the top three giants of Life Group, began to mobilize all his influence, whether cutting ties, making deals, or using them as bargaining chips, all to engage in a fierce confrontation with the other magnates of Night City.

"He was joking before, saying that he would take half the assets of Life Group."

Sigong Cheng pinched the bridge of his nose as he looked at everything on the panel:

"Now it seems that whether he ant it or not, that statent is likely to co true."

-----------------

Night City and Illegal Land suddenly cald down.

It was as if nothing had happened.

But,

In the unseen clouds, there were undercurrents raging and bursting, with no bloodshed, no battles, no energy and bullets spraying everywhere.

Only the gloomy, cold-smiling faces of various magnates were continuously gathering in the highest levels of Life Group through the holographic screen.

However, they were determining the changes in the upper structure of Night City.

Life Group was being besieged by the other two giants and the magnates leading them.

Sigong Cheng's expression was stern as he looked at the various notifications of supply halts and production facility shutdowns.

He,

Could withstand it.

It's just that the veins on his scalp were throbbing!

And Su Qi, for his part, didn't ask questions. He was very understanding, knowing that Sigong Cheng must be very busy lately.

If he was busy,

He shouldn't be disturbed.

Just occasionally sending a few encouraging words:

"This is it? Can you handle it?"

"If you're a man, fight them with steel!"

"And hurry up... forget about those insignificant profits."

Damn it!

Are these insignificant profits?

Sigong Cheng alas could not write a short essay, otherwise, he would have written one long ago.

He even directly made a video call in a fit of anger, which Su Qi promptly rejected.

"Sorry, the signal's bad over here, and two guys video-chatting is just weird."

Sigong Cheng swore that if he hadn't already boarded the thief ship, he would have backed out right there and then.

Su Qi wasn't really rushing him, but rather encouraging him to separate from the powers that be in Night City. The cleaner the split, the more tightly he and The Hustlers Chamber of Comrce would be bound together.

After all, current benefits were fleeting like clouds, and little Night City was just the starting point. He couldn't possibly stay here long.

Although Simon, as the deputy of the Chamber, had learned a lot and had both the courage and the ability, it just wasn't enough... With Life Group standing behind The Hustlers Chamber of Comrce, stability was assured from all aspects.

"Su Buxian, there's been a major incident."

Sigong Xun sent a voice ssage; she had just recovered her Life Force and could maintain it for a while. He thought about what he could do to help her when he left.

She knew he was the man from the hospital and was more open about it.

"What happened?"

"Su Buxian, my father... His complexion has been terrifying these past few days."

"I've never seen him like this before. Sotis he sighs, sotis he's lost in thought, and more often than not, he's irritable..."

As the one mainly responsible, Su Qi paused before saying:

"n have a few such days every month. Tell him to drink more hot water."

And dealing with those nobles was indeed troubleso, so the irritability was normal.

Sigong Cheng: ?

After finishing the chat with Sigong Xun,

Su Qi closed the panel.

"Sigong Cheng, you've really got an eye for business."

The support from the other side was thorough; this move placed Life Group's future squarely in his hands. If it were just for the sake of his daughter, he wouldn't have had to go to such lengths, but he did it anyway.

Su Qi watched as the Super Dream Protocol analyzed EMTs, Adam Hamr, and various high-powered prosthetics, along with a variety of potions and miscellaneous items.

He had also prepared a grand gift for him.

To keep his spirits up.

On the twelfth day,

Life Group announced the assimilation of Illegal Land into the corporation, and its rebranding as "Future City" was declared.

This news caused a sensation in Night City.

Online, it was evident that Life Group was scaling back a significant portion of its operations.

At the sa ti,

The Hustlers Chamber of Comrce also officially beca a legitimate organization, with the endorsent of Life Group.

Many of the illegal and evil sites in Illegal Land were overthrown, the ruins were cleared, and housing was being rebuilt. anwhile, the factories left behind by Black Emperor and Jile's Crowd were taken over for use by The Hustlers Chamber of Comrce.

Moreover, Su Qi utilized the Super Dream Protocol to set forth a series of terms and rules for The Hustlers Chamber of Comrce and Future City.

"Now, The Hustlers Chamber of Comrce, as a subsidiary of The Hustlers Sect, is finally established."

Whatever it might turn into later on, at least there was a foundation.

After going through this painful transition, Sigong Cheng finally t Su Qi in person in Future City.

He silently observed the enthusiastic crowd and their cheering smiles, which were far from gloomy.

"This is different from the atmosphere I imagined following a fierce battle."

"These people are completely different from the criminals of Illegal Land I've seen before."

"After all..." Su Qi looked towards Night City:

"Having hit rock bottom, the only way is up, and with the radiance of The Hustlers shining down, it's normal."

Sigong Cheng sighed and softly said, "Actually, it hasn't been too bad this ti, mainly because all the nobles are busy preparing for the upcoming Stars Hall auction event. They've shifted their focus."

"After all, this event is crucial! Many esteed guests from different worlds and higher-ups will be attending! No one dares to neglect it!"

"And with all the nobles attending, everyone's trying to network and seek advantages!"

"Indeed."

Su Qi paused, "I can tell it's significant to you, especially since the whole of Night City is busy cleaning every street and alley."
