I Never Force Anyone (Second Update)

"Thank you for getting me out of the Jail, but I can't go with you to help you. I don't need the money. I'm going to find Ronan and avenge my wife and children!"

After figuring out the whole story, Drax replied while munching on a leg of lamb.

Upon hearing this, the Rocket on the other side scoffed:

"You can seek revenge on Ronan after you get the money, and that way you can buy more weapons to protect yourself, so you won't die too badly."

Who is Ronan? The infamous Accuser of the Kree Empire, one of the most powerful Kree.

Moreover, he also possessed the Dark Aster, one of the most powerful spaceships in the universe, which struck fear into the hearts of the Nova Empire and carried countless ghostly small ships.

You want to kill him?

Even the Nova Empire couldn't do it, so this idiot in front of him is practically committing suicide.

"No, I can't wait. I'm going now. I'm going to tear him in two!"

Drax the Roar angrily.

His planet was located between the Milky Way Galaxy and the Large Magellanic Cloud. Because he was unwilling to get involved in the war between the Nova Empire and the Kree Empire, it was directly crushed by Ronan and the Kree army.

His wife and daughter, along with all the people of the planet, died at Ronan's hands.

Only he survived because of his thick skin and tough flesh.

So he didn't care about anything else; his only thought now was to take revenge on Ronan and tear Ronan in two with his own hands.

"Then that's settled. Let's go find Ronan first, and after we kill Ronan, we'll take care of my business."

Hawking said nonchalantly.

In any case, the Nova Empire and the Kree Empire are currently locked in a fierce battle, and news reports about their fighting can be seen on interstellar media every day.

And the famous Ronan the Accuser happened to be on the battlefield at that moment, so there was no need to worry about not finding him.

It wouldn't take much more time to spend an extra day running over, tying up Ronan, and getting revenge on Drax.

"What? Boss, you're not kidding, are you?!"

Drax's eyes lit up when he heard Hawking's words, while Star-Lord and Rocket looked on incredulously.

That was a battlefield where two empires clashed, filled with countless interstellar warships and combat ships. Forget about going in to capture Ronan; just getting accidentally caught up in it would surely mean certain death.

Do I look like I'm joking to you?

Hawking shrugged.

Star-Lord and Rocket exchanged a glance, then said simultaneously:

"Is it too late for us to back out now?"

Money is important, of course, but life is even more important. If you're about to lose your life, no amount of money will help.

This is different from what I did in Kyln Prison.

Even if the rescue fails in that the Jail, there is a high probability that an evacuation can be carried out, with a success rate of over 50%.

However, going to the battlefield to capture Ronan now would have an absolute zero chance of success; it would be suicidal.

"Of course there's enough time. I never like to force others!"

Hawking smiled upon hearing this, then turned to Wang Wang had been standing by his side serving him, and said:

"There seems to be a meteorite impact zone nearby. Let's stop for a bit and open a skylight to let in some fresh air."

Wang Wang nodded, and suddenly the sky above them split in two, revealing a huge opening, beyond which lay the endless universe and countless meteorites.

"This patch of meteorites is a bit of an eyesore!"

Hawking put down the mutton in his hand, slowly stood up, stretched, and clasped his hands together.

"Kamehameha ~~~"

A powerful burst of energy erupted from Hawking's hand, shooting straight through the spaceship's opening at the long asteroid field outside.

The blinding light forced Star-Lord and the others to close their eyes.

When they opened their eyes again, they were shocked to find that the meteorite field they had just seen had disappeared.

"I never force others to do things, but when I see something that's an eyesore, I can't help but clean it up, and then it looks much better."

"Wang Wang, let's keep going!"

"Yes, Master!"

Wang Wang restored the sky above his head to its original state.

At this moment, Hawking looked down at Star-Lord and Rocket Raccoon, who were sitting there dumbfounded:

"By the way, what did you guys just say? You said you wanted to quit, right?"

"No, no, absolutely not. Even if it's free, we would definitely help you."

"When you're out and about, having more friends means having more options—that's one of my principles as an interstellar thief!"

Star-Lord wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and quickly nodded in reply.

He feared that if he refused now, he would evaporate and disappear like that meteorite.

"I agree with Star-Lord."

The Rocket responded in kind.

He felt that since Hawking was so powerful, capturing Ronan no longer seemed impossible.

Therefore, agreeing now is the best choice.

Even if he himself is not afraid of death, he still has to consider Groot's safety.

"I am Groot."

Groot's understanding was that the Rocket's decision was his decision.

"Since everyone is so enthusiastic, let's set off and capture Ronan on the battlefield."

Hawking nodded in satisfaction:

"Don't worry, you'll get your reward for the mission."

"Boss, could you tell me the specific task you asked us to do?"

Star-Lord asked, somewhat apprehensively.

Judging from Hawking's casual remark about wanting to capture Ronan, the mission Hawking asked them to complete might be even more dangerous.

"Well, I'll tell you after we catch Ronan."

Hawking shrugged:

"Alright, you've finished eating. If you want to rest, you can find your own rooms. There are plenty of rooms here. I'm going to train now."

After saying that, he left to train in the Gravity Chamber.

Time is precious and should not be wasted.

Seeing Hawking leave, Star-Lord suddenly had a bad feeling. He felt that the mission Hawking had asked them to help with might be more terrible than he had imagined.

"Hey buddy, let me treat you to a leg of lamb. I misunderstood you earlier!"

Drax handed his half-eaten leg of lamb to Star-Lord, who was still recovering from the shock.

Upon seeing this, Star-Lord was speechless and said:

"First of all, the boss treated us to these lamb legs; it has nothing to do with you."

Secondly, why did you hand me the half-eaten leg of lamb, with your saliva on it?

"Where we come from, two people eating the same food signifies that they have made up and are now on good terms."

Drax said seriously.

Star-Lord rolled his eyes upon hearing this:

"I would never eat someone else's saliva unless she's a beautiful woman!"

"A third-rate thief whose mind is only on women and a muscle-bound idiot—I'm starting to lose hope for this mission."

Rocket Raccoon watched Star-Lord and Drax arguing over a trivial matter and couldn't help but shake his head.

As a result, the group got into an argument.

Under Wang Wang's control, the spaceship sped through jump points, heading towards the battleground between the two armies in the Milky Way Galaxy and the Large Magellanic Cloud.

If things go smoothly, the spaceship can reach its destination in half a day.
