Stranded on Sakaar

After figuring out where he was and how long he had been unconscious, and after exchanging a few words with Tate, Xia Yu fell asleep again.

When I opened my eyes again, I didn't know how much time had passed. I was still in that little house. Judging from the light outside the curtain, a day had passed.

Yesterday, Tate retrieved the piece of bread, leaving most of it. Tate placed it on the stool next to Xia Yu.

Xia Yu gave a wry smile. He was in a huge debt of gratitude now. This little guy was so young and he couldn't even get enough to eat himself, yet he had saved a rather large piece for her.

Xia Yu tried to sit up, but it was a bit difficult, so he stayed lying down. At least he could move his hands a little, though not too much. But at this rate, he should be almost fully recovered in three or four days.

Xia Yu contacted Thor immediately.

Xia Yu hadn't been heard from for several days, and Thor was pulling Nick Fury along, preparing to return to Earth to explain things to everyone.

Relieved after receiving Xia Yu's call, the two asked Xia Yu to come to Sakaar Thor pick them up.

But after a while, Thor called back. Sakaar was a mysterious place in the universe, and few people knew its exact coordinates. It would take some time to find out.

The two hung up the phone, the curtain was lifted, and Tate returned.

Tate looked a bit disheveled today, with a bruise on his face, as if he had been beaten up outside.

Xia, you look good today.

Tate glanced at Xia Yu, then at the unmoving bread on the stool, his throat bobbed, and he swallowed hard.

"But you look terrible today. Tell me, did you get beaten up?"

Xia Yu asked Tate gently, this boy who was already living independently in his teens.

"I found half a cake, a really big one, but other scavengers found it. I wanted to bring it back to share with you, but I couldn't beat them. They were bigger and stronger than me, and they had guns."

As Tate spoke, Xia Yu looked at him with more regret for the cake than anger.

"Aren't you angry, Tate? Don't you want revenge? Like, give them a good beating?"

Xia Yu asked tentatively.

"I don't want to. I just want to leave this place. My mother told me that if I ever get the chance, I should leave and go to another planet where there are no wormholes in the sky, no garbage everywhere, and no worries about food."

"You'll help me, won't you? I saved you, so take me away from here, to a place where I don't have to fight for food."

Tate looked at Xia Yu very seriously, which was why he had saved Xia Yu; he needed someone to take him away from here.

"I can agree to that, but you have to tell me about yourself first, starting with your mother."

Xia Yu said with a smile.

Tate's mother was from the Shi'ar Empire, an alliance empire in the universe that Xia Yu had heard of but had never been to.

The story is quite melodramatic. Tate's mother is a wealthy heiress who encounters space pirates while traveling and is taken aboard their spaceship.

Tate's mother was very beautiful, so she caught the eye of the pirate leader, who raped her and gave birth to Tate on the spaceship.

Later, their spaceship was pursued by the Kree Empire's fleet. A small-time space pirate was no match for the Kree Empire's regular army, and their spaceship was destroyed.

Although Tate's father was a pirate captain, he still had a conscience and eventually put Tate and his mother into a small lifeboat.

During their escape, they accidentally entered a wormhole and ended up here.

A complete small spaceship was immediately taken and sold by numerous scavengers.

To protect her child, Tate's mother gave herself to an ugly but powerful scavenger.

Of course, it's only relatively powerful among scavengers.

Tate was only one year old at the time.

In this Hell place, Tate's mother endured less than three years before Little Tate, barely old enough to remember anything, passed away.

Although the scavenger was filthy and smelly, he was a rare exception; he was kind to Tate's mother and set fire to her body. You see, in this place, people who have just died are usually dismembered and eaten by a group of scavengers.

He then became Tate's adoptive father, who died when Tate was eight years old.

Little Tate burned down the old shed and began living alone on Sakaar.

He was young and small, and he could often squeeze into the gaps in large piles of garbage to retrieve relatively intact items, such as metal parts, batteries, and ammunition.

He often handed these things over to powerful scavengers, which saved his life.

Tate's explanation was simple, and Xia Yu filled in the blanks in his mind, roughly reconstructing his background.

"Very well, I agree to help you leave, but I need to contact my friends to pick me up. I have a way to contact them, but I don't have the coordinates here. Do you know what coordinates are, Tate?"

Xia Yu asked.

"I don't know. Nobody knows the coordinates here. People in the city might know, but we scavengers can't enter the city; we'll be killed by the Grandmaster's guards."

Xia Tian stopped dwelling on the issue and decided to wait until she recovered before addressing it further.

"Tate, you said you got a cake stolen today, how about I make it up to you?"

Xia Yu looked at Little Tate and said.

"Hmm?" Tate looked Xia Yu up and down curiously.

The child was precocious; although puzzled, he didn't express it until he saw it for himself.

Xia Yu smiled, and with a thought, he flipped his hand, and a fruit cake appeared in Xia Yu hands.

"You can conjure food? Is that magic? Good heavens, if anyone finds out, you'll be locked up."

Tate finally showed a noticeable change in emotion.

Xia Yu found it amusing.

"If others find out, they'll make me king. Eat up!"

Xia Yu reached out and patted Tate's head. Little Tate was a little uncomfortable and took a slight step back, but still stopped and let Xia Yu's hand rub his hair.

"You won't need to go out to find food anymore. Once I'm better, I'll take you into the city, and then we'll wait for my friends to come and pick us up, okay?"

Tate didn't speak, just nodded, reached into the cake and scooped out a small piece, then pushed the rest back to Xia Yu.

"Eat up, I have plenty more."

Xia Yu took out a bunch of snacks, various foods and drinks from his ring and placed them all in front of Tate.

Tate stared in surprise, then quickly put down the cake and stuffed everything under the bed.

Xia Yu didn't stop him, but watched him silently.

After thinking for a moment, he took out his phone and started contacting Star-Lord.

One chapter is missing today, I'll make it up the day after tomorrow. I'm taking a day off tomorrow. I usually take one day off every month.

Next, I'm planning to have Xia Yu lead a group to rob Sakaar. What do you guys think?
