Bounty on Star-Lord (First Update)

Three days later, at the temporary docking point for alien spacecraft on Xandar.

"Mr. Hawking, welcome to Xandar! Have a pleasant journey!"

A beautiful Xandar staff member with wavy hair and pink skin smiled and issued a pass after verifying Hawking's identity.

"Thanks!"

Hawking retrieved his identification, left the dock, and stepped onto the bustling street.

Why did he come to Xandar?

Of course, they came to find Star-Lord -Star-Lord and his adoptive father Yondu.

He sought out Star-Lord because he needed him as a stepping Star-Lord to enter Ego's Planet.

As a living planet that has lived for millions of years, Ego may not be as powerful as the Judges, but his strength should not be underestimated.

Its clones alone can instantly destroy hundreds of the most advanced spaceships in the universe, and can also sow seeds on so many planets, turning all those planets into its clones.

The key thing he needed to do was not to destroy Ego directly, but to capture Ego alive and use the immense life energy of the Deity Ego to plant the Divine Tree Fruit.

Therefore, the best approach is not to violently attack Ego after finding his coordinates, but to use Star-Lord to lower Ego's guard, then secretly infiltrate his core weakness—the brain—and directly control Ego's brain.

As for Yondu, only Yondu knows the coordinates of Ego's Planet. If he wants to go to Ego's Planet to plant the Divine Tree, he must first find Yondu.

The planetary coordinates provided by Ryder the 20th did not include the coordinates of Contraxia Ravagers settlement.

After all, they are separated by a star system, and Zenn-La is not part of the Kree Empire, so it doesn't have such a strong intelligence network. It only has the coordinates of some relatively well-known planets in the Milky Way Galaxy.

Moreover, Contraxia was merely a planet for Ravagers to relax and unwind, Yondu, as an exiled individual, did not frequently return there.

So, he first went to Xandar.

Because this is the capital planet of the most powerful Nova Empire in the Milky Way Galaxy, and has the most powerful intelligence brokerage organization, it is easy to buy the coordinates of Contraxia.

Even simpler, you could directly offer a bounty to find Star-Lord and Yondu.

Moreover, if Star-Lord himself were not alive, he would spend most of his time on Xandar chasing women.

"Living on this planet doesn't seem so bad."

Hovering invisibly through the air, Hawking made a general observation of the situation on Xandar and couldn't help but sigh.

First, there's the environment. Unlike the technologically advanced planet Zenn-La, where the entire planet is covered in metal and vegetation is practically nonexistent, the role of vegetation in the environment and for living organisms has been entirely replaced by machines.

Unlike the previous planet he visited, which, although possessing biotechnology capable of interstellar travel, looked like it was still in the era of primitive humans, retaining many very primitive lifestyle habits.

Unlike Xandar, which boasts advanced and convenient technology such as free maglev taxis and buses, incredibly realistic virtual projections, and intelligent machinery and facilities.

There is also excellent greenery, a mix of various genetically modified plants and trees that are beneficial to health, as well as artificial hills and fountains.

Walking on the street makes you feel very comfortable.

Secondly, there's the atmosphere. Xandar isn't as authoritarian and racist as the Kree Empire; it's very inclusive.

Here you can see 80% of the intelligent species in the Milky Way Galaxy. They live together in harmony and happiness, and the pedestrians on the road are clearly smiling.

As the capital of the Nova Empire and the largest commercial planet in the Milky Way Galaxy, the economy here is very developed and resources are abundant. Even if you know nothing, you can live very well just by doing manual labor.

Finally, there's the issue of security; the Nova Corps, the most powerful legion in the Milky Way Galaxy, is based here.

If you dare to cause trouble here, you'll be surrounded by a group of Nova Corps combat ships in less than five minutes. Except for the most reckless and brainless, no one would dare to commit a crime on Xandar.

"Let's go on our honeymoon to Xandar after we've dealt with the Celestials's affairs!"

He promised Wanda that he would get married after he returned, and that they would definitely go on a honeymoon after the wedding.

Hero Alliance has branches all over the world, and given Wanda's personality, the Super Hero must have used the Portkey to visit them all over the place in the past few years.

So why not leave Earth and come to Xandar? It looks like a perfect vacation spot for Earthlings.

"Found it! The Nova Empire Headquarters Building!"

After flying for a while, Hawking saw his destination: a metal building with a yellow Starbrand, half-floating in the air.

It is the Nova Empire Headquarters Building.

"Energy shield?"

As he approached the building, a yellow, high-intensity energy shield blocked his path.

"Apparition".

His mental energy shield penetrated the building, and after some exploration, Hawking Shunpo directly past the shield and appeared in a room within the building.

At this moment, in this room, a woman with a full head of white hair, wearing a blue Nova military uniform, is handling government affairs.

She is the supreme ruler of the Nova Empire, the Nova Prime.

"Soul leaving the body!"

Appearing stealthily behind Nova Prime, Hawking used the Imperius Curse on him.

"Use your permissions to open the database and help me find something."

A moment later, having obtained the information he wanted, he cast Memory Charm on the Nova Prime before disappearing from the building.

As the first empire in the Milky Way Galaxy, the Nova Empire's database undoubtedly contains the coordinates of almost every planet in the Milky Way Galaxy, including the Ravagers' Contraxia.

At the same time, it also contains information about some of the most famous brokers on this planet.

Hawking's figure slowly emerged in front of an inconspicuous secondhand recycling shop on a pedestrian overpass in the city.

"Hello, how can we help you, guest?"

An elderly man with only four rows of hair on his head saw the unfamiliar Hawking push open the door and walk into the shop. He quickly smiled and went up to ask him questions.

Hawking looked at the Old Broker:

"I know you're the most famous broker on this planet. I'm offering a ten million bounty for someone's capture."

"Ten million?"

The broker's eyes lit up immediately.

According to the rules, he can get one-tenth of the ten million task, which is one million.

This is a big order.

"May I ask, sir, who is the person you wish to arrest?"

Ten million is a big order, but it also depends on the task. If it's about capturing some big shots, then it's definitely impossible, and it will just become a worthless order.

Hawking took out his universally compatible cell phone, which was as transparent as a piece of glass, and said:

"Don't worry, he's just a nobody, a Ravagers named Peter Quill, nicknamed Star-Lord."

I'll give you five million as a deposit first, and you'll get the remaining five million after I catch him.

But remember, you have to be alive.

"No problem, absolutely no problem. Please leave your contact information, and I will notify you immediately after the task is completed."

When the Old Broker heard that it was just an unknown Ravagers, his eyes lit up and he immediately agreed.
