After waiting for so long, Star-Lord finally got to see the boss.
He strode toward the door, ready to have a proper talk with the boss about the compensation for making him wait here so long. He wasn't asking for much—those two guns would be enough to settle it.

Little Jie pulled up the matter from the memo on his tablet and displayed it in front of Jason.
"Oh, right. I remember now.
