"A Treants from the plant planet, a Subject 89P13 that has been transformed by genetic and mechanical implants, and an unknown race of unknown origin, but with super strength, speed, reaction and powerful defense..."
Xandar In a certain house in the black market.
A man covered in a cloak and hood was looking at the projections of Groot, Rocket Raccoon and Allen, stroking his chin and muttering to himself, as if he was thinking seriously about something.
In fact, not only him, but the entire black market businessmen and the forces behind them are all very interested in the combination of these three people.
Treants Groot Needless to say, its super powerful Regeneration Ability alone, as well as its huge strength and defense, are enough to match a powerful mercenary team.
Rocket was also in the space port, showing its superb technology, as well as its ability to modify and manufacture machinery, weapons and various explosives.
It can even be said that in the entire black market, there is no one who can compare with him in this professional field.
As for Allen's strong fighting power, it has already been spread everywhere through those rewards Gold Hunter.
As we all know, in addition to selling contraband, black market traders also sell all kinds of secret information.
Especially some businessmen who have huge power behind them, their existence itself is to better collect intelligence.
So in just a few hours, the three people's information and information had been secretly spread everywhere.
Among them, Groot and Rocket Raccoon, who have clear identities and backgrounds, have long been stripped down to their underwear.
But only Allen, these people can't find any clues anyway, let alone his origins, it's like he popped out of the cracks in the rocks out of thin air.
Some people think that Allen should be a combat weapon created out of thin air by a planet or force with extremely advanced genes and biotechnology.
But some unknown circumstances occurred later, and he accidentally escaped.
Of course, it does not rule out that all of this is his innate racial ability.
After all, the universe is so big, and no one knows whether there are a very small number of races with strong personal strength hidden in some remote and backward planet.
After pondering for a long time, the black marketeer, who was unwilling to reveal his true identity in front of outsiders, slowly raised his head, revealed a pair of scarlet eyes, and asked the men kneeling in front of him directly, "Tell me, what did this man do today, or what does he like. Alcohol? Beauty? Gambling? Money?"
"I'm extremely sorry, Master.
So far, we have not been able to determine his personality and interests.
Because so far, he had only drank some expensive wine, but there was no sign of being drunk.
A prostitute tried to seduce him, but she was so frightened that she became incontinent on the spot, so he should not be interested in women either.
However, it cannot be ruled out that this prostitute is not to his taste.
Finally, he played a small gambling game with those who admired Gold Hunter in the bar, but no matter whether he won or lost, he did not show excitement or depression, but he was obviously not addicted to it.
As for the money, he handed over 40 million to the new companion he had just met without hesitation.
From this alone, we can tell that this person actually has a very casual attitude towards money..."
An alien who looked like a reptile knelt on the ground and carefully conducted a complete analysis and report.
From the look of fear and horror on his face, we knew that the relationship between the two was definitely not an ordinary employment relationship.
In fact, the black market itself is prohibited by Xandar law.
So those who dare to do business and make money here are naturally brave guys.
Some businessmen treat their subordinates like slaves, and can decide the other person's life or death with just one sentence.
In a universe where the jungle prevails, slavery is actually a common phenomenon.
Kree Empire even publicly recognized the legality of slaves and allowed them to trade and buy within their own sphere of influence.
"You mean... this man doesn't have any weaknesses?" The black marketeer said with strong doubts in his tone.
His attitude immediately made the alien kneeling on the ground tremble with fear, and he quickly explained in a low voice, "No! Master. I mean, he seems to be deliberately hiding something."
"Conceal it?" The black marketeer subconsciously narrowed his eyes.
"Yes, Master. Because the timing of this person's appearance is too coincidental, I suspect that he may be related to Orb, which has caused a lot of commotion recently."
The lizard-like alien went around in circles for a long time and finally expressed his inner guess.
If there is anything that has attracted the most attention in recent times, it must be Orb.
Although most people don't know what Orb is, it must be an incredible treasure to have the universe overlords Asgardians, Thanos, Kree, Sakura and her subordinate Burning Legion enter the game at the same time.
Therefore, whether they are careerists who want to take advantage of the chaos or ordinary people who are worried about triggering a war that will sweep half of the universe, they will pay special attention to it.
"Orb..."
The black marketeer showed a thoughtful expression on his face, and immediately ordered, "Go! Immediately publish a reward anonymously for the wanted Star-Lord who is looking for the whereabouts of Orb."
"A reward for Star-Lord? This will cause big trouble! There are countless pairs of eyes staring at him now, waiting for him to find the whereabouts of Orb." Even the voice of the alien kneeling on the ground was trembling.
He simply couldn't imagine how miserable he would die if he offended these prestigious "big men" in the universe.
No!
Maybe a happy death is a luxury!
"That's why you want to be anonymous! Idiot! Stop talking nonsense and post a reward immediately. Anyone who can provide the whereabouts of Star-Lord can get a reward of 500,000 yuan, and if you capture him alive, you can get 10 million. If you can get Orb, I will pay 4 billion!"
When he said these words, this businessman exuded a chilling aura.
Especially the pupils of the two eyes changed from scarlet to pure black, as if there was a ball of ink flowing inside.
"Understood! I'll do it right away!"
The servant was obviously frightened and ran out immediately as if running for his life.
Not long after his front leg left, the black marketeer on his back leg let out a shrill laugh like a lunatic, and instantly released a thick fog from his body that swallowed up the entire room.
There is no doubt that whether it is a reward of up to 10 million for Star-Lord or a price of 4 billion for Orb, the reward for Gold Hunter and the mercenary circle is definitely a 12-magnitude earthquake.
Most people don't even think this news is true.
Because the price of four billion is too outrageous.
With this kind of money, you can even buy a few planets, or build a powerful space fleet, and unscrupulously conquer and enslave those star systems with backward technology.
But for people like Thanos, Odin, Sakura, and Ronan the Accuser, the information expressed in this reward is quite worth pondering.
First of all, it proves that the force behind the bounty issue has extremely strong financial resources.
Secondly, the publisher is not afraid of head-on collisions with Odin, Thanos, Sakura, and Kree Empire.
Finally, and most importantly, the other party knew that Orb was Power Stone, and publicly stated to all competitors that they wanted to join the fight.
"Haha! Interesting! It's so interesting! After Asgard's Odin, is there another mysterious player targeting Infinity Stones? It seems that this game is getting more and more interesting." Thanos sat on his throne, touching his disproportionately wide chin, with a hint of playfulness in his tone.
As a cosmic overlord with ideals and pursuits, he is never afraid of anyone.
Even after getting the news that Odin was also interested in Power Stone, he still acted calmly.
In the eyes of Thanos, All-Father is no longer the powerful tyrant who was ambitious and wanted to expand Asgardian Realm's strength to half the universe.
He is now just a frail old man who is about to die, and there is no way he can be his opponent.
The complete opposite is Sakura, who has only just emerged, but has already almost pushed Kree Empire to the edge.
Although the latter is young, he is full of energy, and the Frost Magic he showed during the battle is even more terrifying than Frost Giants's treasure box. He is definitely a formidable opponent.
However, Thanos still believes that he can defeat this young challenger with his wisdom and tactics and win Power Stone.
After all, unlike those Infinity Stones collectors who have no experience, he knows very well that collecting six Infinity Stones must be fast, stable, accurate, and ruthless at the same time.
Otherwise, once other forces learn about it, they will definitely come to stop it, and maybe it will lead to some beings older than the universe.
This is why Asgard, in the original plot, has been trying to prevent the two Infinity Stones from getting together.
Just when Thanos was guessing who this new force was, Nebula, who was standing aside, suddenly said, "Father, that guy Ronan sent a message, saying that he has traced the whereabouts of Star-Lord."
"Oh? Did he find out who gave the maps in Yondu and Star-Lord's hands?" Thanos asked with interest.
"Yes! Found it! Although that guy is quite cunning, we still found some clues. The person who issued the commission has the funds behind it from Knowhere."
"Knowhere? Ah! It turns out to be the collector - Tanya Tiwan. Unexpectedly, even he has some kind of delusion about Infinity Stones. But it doesn't matter. This guy probably just has a collecting habit and doesn't really want to do anything with Infinity Stones." Thanos said with a touch of disdain and ridicule in his tone.
Although the collectors and Grandmaster, the rulers of Planet Sakaar, are a group of guys with nearly Eternity lives, their minds have long been corroded by their long lives and they only focus on their own interests.
Other than that, they don't care at all about what happens in the universe, let alone interfere with it.
To put it simply, these people are a bunch of trash who live just to live.
The so-called interest is just to find a reason for one's life to prevent him from going crazy because he lives too long.
"Do you need me to take someone to teach him a lesson?" Nebula suggested eagerly.
Thanos waved his hand gently. "No need! He is just an insignificant spoiler. What really worries me is this new player who has not yet shown up. Go to Xandar immediately and investigate for me who is behind the bounty.. By the way, please inform Gamora and ask her to keep an eye on Ronan. Kree obviously has other thoughts. Once he discovers Orb's secret, he will definitely not hand it over to me as agreed."
"Understood! I'll leave right away."
Nebula nodded vigorously, immediately turned around and disappeared, driving a spaceship and leaving the planet.
At the same time, Thor, who was drinking and chatting with locals on an unknown planet, also received an order from Odin, and took Rainbow Bridge to instantly land in the open space on the outskirts of Xandar.
Just a week or so later, a small fleet under Sakura also appeared around Xandar.
Suddenly, the eyes of all the major forces in the entire universe were focused here.
The sudden changes caused Xandar's rulers to become highly nervous and ordered Nova Corps to be on standby at any time to prepare for possible dangers.
However, the chaotic situation outside has not had any impact on the underground black market.
Gold Hunter and the mercenaries are still living a life of intoxication every day. Before the last bit of money they have is spent, they will not go anywhere, let alone accept any dangerous commissions.
Because if you die but don't spend all the money, wouldn't it be an advantage to others?
With this idea of being drunk now, countless people are sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss of desire.
Only Allen, who came here to experience life, remained awake and was keenly aware of the changes in Xandar's situation.
On the tenth day, he left quietly and went to the space port alone to meet Rocket and Groot.
When he saw the ship docked on the platform, a surprised expression suddenly appeared on Allen's face.
This spaceship is not big, only over a hundred meters long and twenty-five meters high, but it is equipped with firepower and energy shields comparable to that of a heavy battleship.
Especially the hyperlight engine at the tail is even more advanced than the technology used by Kree.
Although by Earth standards, this is already a fairly large ship.
But in the interstellar era, it can barely be regarded as a "little guy".
After all, even a "pocket model" small spacecraft like Star-Lord is at least thirty or forty meters long.
Not only that, the magazines on both sides of the spacecraft are also filled with countless missiles made of antimatter, densely packed just like Hive.
It is foreseeable that if this thing is launched all at once, not to mention a city, even half of the planet's surface will be razed to the ground.
If you add the main gun purchased at a high price, it can be said that this spacecraft has been armed to the teeth by the crazy Rocket Raccoon.
