Lin Xiaoqian came out when she heard the commotion outside, and raised her eyebrows: "Oh, everyone's awake."

Then he said to Zeen, "You choose one person to go back and deliver the message."

Zeen looked at Lin Xiaoqian in shock. Send someone back to report? So arrogant?

Lin Xiaoqian's sudden action left Zeen somewhat unsure of her intentions, but it was good that Fiona knew about her current situation sooner rather than later.

Zehn chose his most clever henchman to go, and secretly gave Fiona a signal, intending for her to bring more people and weapons.

After her younger brother left, Lin Xiaoqian turned around and headed into the kitchen.

Zeen gritted his teeth and shouted to Lin Xiaoqian and the others, "Hey, give us some food!"

Lin Xiaoqian said without turning her head, "No."

Zeen was so angry that his face turned red, but he was helpless.

The men also showed longing expressions, but under these circumstances, they could only stare longingly at the kitchen, smell the tempting aroma, and endure the torment of hunger.

Time passed second by second, and Zehn and the others' patience gradually ran out.

Just when they were about to despair, a commotion came from afar, and Zeen was overjoyed.

Soon, Fiona arrived at the store entrance with a large group of people.

Fiona was furious when she saw her brother huddled together with his men in a disheveled state, and she was about to step into the store.

The underling who was sent to fetch someone was stopped.

“Miss Fiona, there’s something strange about this shop. You’ll get an electric shock and faint as soon as you go in.”

Fiona paused, her gaze fixed intently on the shop.

On the way here, my younger brother has already told me everything in detail.

Although Fiona was furious, she wasn't stupid. If the restaurant could produce high-end food and easily control so many people, there must be something strange about it.

"Get your weapons out, all of you."

Dizzy from hunger, Zahn saw his sister and cried out as if she were his savior, "Fiona, please get us out of here! I'm starving to death!"

Seeing her brother's disheveled state, Fiona's anger intensified. She gripped her weapon tightly, her eyes filled with vigilance.

"Listen up, you people inside! Release my brother and his men right now, or don't blame us for being impolite!" Fiona shouted.

Hearing the noise, Lin Xiaoqian turned to Liao Zhuang and said, "Stay in the kitchen for now."

Since Liao Zhuang is the only one not bound to the system, the system will not protect him. If a fight breaks out, it would be bad if he got hurt.

Lin Xiaoqian led Jiang Shuang and Zhuang Damao out of the kitchen and met Fiona's gaze at the shop entrance.

Fiona is a woman whose torso and limbs are mechanical, except for her head. She has a beautiful face, short silver hair, purple lips, and fierce eyes with a hint of ruthlessness.

Upon seeing Lin Xiaoqian and the other two emerge, Fiona raised her gun-shaped weapon and aimed it at Lin Xiaoqian.

Jiang Shuang and Zhuang Damao quickly stepped in front of Lin Xiaoqian upon seeing this.

Lin Xiaoqian patted the two of them: "It's okay."

As soon as she finished speaking, Fiona's weapon suddenly emitted a dazzling light, followed by a beam of energy shooting out.

Just as the beam of light was about to reach the three people, a transparent protective shield seemed to appear in the air, protecting them.

The energy beam struck the protective shield and instantly dissipated, leaving only faint ripples.

Upon seeing this, Fiona's eyes flashed with surprise and confusion.

She gritted her teeth, raised her gun-like weapon again, and prepared to launch an even more powerful attack.

Zhuang Damao strode over to Ze'en, grabbed him by the collar, and pulled him to Lin Xiaoqian's side.

Fiona frowned when she saw her brother being held by Lin Xiaoqian and the others, and stopped attacking.

Zahn kept shouting, "Fiona! Fiona, save me!"

Lin Xiaoqian pulled up a chair and sat down, calmly saying, "I called you over because I wanted to have a peaceful talk with you, but you're giving me such a big gift right off the bat. That's a bit much, isn't it?"

Fiona gripped her weapon tightly, her eyes filled with anger and murderous intent.

She wanted to blow up the store, but her brother was still inside. Once she rescued him, she would make those people pay.

Fiona suppressed her anger and said coldly, "What do you want? You want my brother released?"

Lin Xiaoqian narrowed her eyes slightly. "I originally had a business deal to discuss with you, but now I'm not so keen on talking about it anymore."

Fiona frowned: "What do you mean?"

Lin Xiaoqian gestured with her chin towards the weapon in her hand: "I need a batch of these weapons. That should be easy for you, right? Bring the weapons over, and I'll release your brother."

The idea of ​​getting weapons was something Lin Xiaoqian and his friends had discussed. According to Liao Zhuang's questioning of Zeen's men, the cyber world doesn't have particularly strict control over weapons, and some black forces can get their hands on some. Especially after Fiona tied herself up with the people of Dark Night, she had even more weapons at her disposal.

Zahn's men showered her with praise. For example, Fiona recently led a group to successfully acquire a batch of advanced energy weapons from a secret trading point. These were considered mid-to-high-end equipment in the cyber world, boasting great power and high stability.

I also heard that Fiona is about to acquire a batch of mechanical whips and nanoblades.

Of course, besides the fact that Liao Zhuang managed to get these words out of them, part of it was also because this group of people wanted to use Fiona to scare them into releasing her quickly.

However, Lin Xiaoqian and his group had their eyes on this batch of weapons.

Fiona's eyes narrowed, inwardly cursing Zahn's people as fools, but she maintained her stubbornness: "Why do you think I would agree to you so easily?"

Lin Xiaoqian shrugged, not caring much, and said, "Then you can just watch your brother starve to death in my shop. Or you can choose to attack by force, but I can't guarantee your brother will be safe in the fight."

Fiona was seething with hatred. Indeed, Zehn was now a hostage. If she attacked him by force, not only might she fail to save him, but Zehn might also be injured or even killed.

After much deliberation, she finally decided to compromise: "Fine, I agree, but you must promise to release my brother immediately after receiving the weapons. Otherwise..." Fiona's eyes held a threat.

Lin Xiaoqian nodded: "It's a deal."

Fiona looked at Zehn, her fierce gaze softening slightly: "Brother, don't worry, I'll save you."

He turned around and was about to lead his men back to prepare weapons.

"Wait a moment."

Hearing Lin Xiaoqian's shout, Fiona turned to look at her with a cold expression, wondering what other harsh conditions she would propose.

Lin Xiaoqian pointed to Zeen's group of men: "And them too." These twenty or so people huddled in the shop were really an eyesore.

Fiona frowned, but she couldn't directly say that she didn't care about the lives of these idiots. After all, she still had many brothers behind her, and she couldn't be too disheartening.

She said coldly, "What else do you want?"
