"Is anyone here?"
The man strode inside, and the door behind him closed.
This was a common practice at the black-market shops on Xandar.
Every transaction was private, and the door would close once a customer entered.
Of course, this custom only existed in these less-than-legitimate shops.
So he was not surprised in the slightest.
He merely looked around at the various items, curiously inspecting the Red Whale Shop that even Yondu had sent him to collect goods from.
"Sir, what kind of goods are you looking for?"
"You can take a look at this newly released T32 Energy Battery. Other shops charge at least two thousand five hundred, but we only ask for two thousand three hundred."
Little Jie immediately went over to greet the tall man who had entered.
"Don't joke around. I'm not interested in this kind of stuff. Yondu sent me here. He said you had some good merchandise?"
The man looked at Little Jie, whose entire body was bright red, and spoke bluntly.
Little Jie paused slightly, then picked up his handheld computer and began searching through it.
"Yondu? Yondu Udota? One of the Ravagers?"
Little Jie looked at the man without the slightest fear.
"We did receive a new shipment, but it isn't just you. The Rob organization and Mazu's group are also coming to bid for it."
"Hey, little guy, this shipment has already been claimed by our Ravagers."
"Bring it out quickly. I definitely won't short you on the price."
The man rubbed Little Jie's head.
"What species are you? You don't look like one of the red-skinned Ayers. Call your boss out!"
Little Jie looked up at him, then tapped on his handheld computer again.
"Ravagers mercenary organization, Peter Quill, right? You're Star-Lord?"
Quill looked at the little fellow before him
