The oppressive aura emanating from Beckett and Hela instantly filled Jack Jones's residence with an inexplicable chill. Bald Jack, who had been told to shut up by the two in unison, twitched involuntarily, momentarily unsure whether he should cooperate with Frigga and Thanos and continue this charade.

These two don't seem like the kind of people who can get along well and develop a relationship.

It's not easy to collect dirty money.

Old Jack, who had already received his payment in advance, sighed inwardly, pondering what he should say to break the current cold silence.

"If you're not my customer, then please leave and don't interrupt my business." Jack Jones, with an unfriendly expression, interrupted the silent stare between the man and woman in front of him.

"Shut up!"

"Is it any of your business to interfere in His Highness Beckett's affairs?"

The Other, who considered himself Beckett's number one lackey, immediately stepped forward to reprimand the old Jack with his white beard.

Whoosh!

A spark flashed in Jack Jones's hand, and a javelin with red and white stripes shot straight at The Other!

Snap!

In the blink of an eye, before The Other could even react, Beckett, his face cold, reached out and grasped the javelin that could have killed him, his voice growing increasingly chilling. "Where is the Soul Stone?"

[What?]

Upon seeing Beckett, Hela, whose doubts about her mother Frigga had resurfaced, was taken aback. She stared at Beckett holding the red and white javelin in one hand, and her thoughts instantly returned to that unforgettable moment.

Halfway up Vormir, there was a mysterious hooded man who claimed to be the guide to the Soul Stone and possessed the unique ability to determine paternity, unmatched in the entire universe.

"So that's how it is, you came for the Soul Stone?" Under Beckett's gaze, Old Jack, showing no discomfort whatsoever, raised his left hand. The red and white javelin, which had been blocked and unable to advance any further, instantly transformed into a stream of light and returned to Old Jack's left wrist, condensing into a silver bracelet with a diamond-shaped mark on its surface.

With a grizzled beard carrying an indescribable air, Old Jack returned to the table and buried his head in his noodles. "How did you find out about the Soul Stone?"

"This is none of your business."

"Now, tell me where the Soul Stone is?"

The light screen in front of Beckett's right eye continuously analyzed the data on the changes in the shape and properties of the Jack Jones bracelet, but ultimately found nothing.

"Of course, no problem, but only if you can provide something that satisfies me?"

Old Jack, having finished his lunch with a slurp, continued picking his teeth, watching Beckett's indifferent expression with great interest.

He was quite interested in this son of Thanos.

"Money?"

"As everyone knows, I'm a wandering merchant, and I don't lack that stuff." Old Jack picked his nose with a bored look and sneered as he watched The Other take out the universal currency resource card at Beckett's behest.

"And you, if you can offer me something that is compelling enough, I will give you the information chip you want."

Old Jack also gave Hela a ride.

What do you want?

Hela, instantly sensing the unspoken meaning, glanced at Beckett, composed herself, and asked in a low voice.

Snap!

Old Jack the Snap his fat fingers and stood up with a smile, "I need you to go and get two things, to the headquarters of the Nova Corps on Xandar."

As soon as he finished speaking, a beam of light was projected from the bracelet on Old Jack's wrist, forming a light screen in front of Beckett and Hela.

On the screen are two uniquely shaped small objects.

One is a metal base engraved with mysterious patterns, and the other is a small light ball emitting purple fluorescence.

"These two items are a set, but the Nova Corps will likely keep them separate just in case. Just bring these two items from the Nova Corps headquarters' treasure room and hand them over to me,"

"So? Shall we go with this deal?"

"You each bring one item, one for one, isn't that fair?" Old Jack turned his chair into a rocking chair, swaying comfortably as he asked.

"Your His Highness Beckett."

Having recovered from his shock, The Other approached Beckett with a meek look in his eyes, indicating that the middle-aged man in front of him was suspicious and should not be trusted.

They should be tortured to extract information about the whereabouts of the jewel; The Other would be happy to be a tool in His Highness Beckett's hands.

"We..." The Other's voice trailed off as he spoke, feeling immense pressure from Beckett's condescending and indifferent gaze.

"Woz."

"Woz has finished recording, Your His Highness Beckett."

The voice of the little robot cat echoed in Beckett's ears, and the Saiyan with a red tail coiled around his waist turned and left.

"Huh?"

"Your His Highness Beckett, wait for me!"

In his panic and shock, The Other tripped and fell flat on his face. He scrambled to his feet and hurriedly chased after Beckett's departing figure.

Aren't you going with them?

"Your goals are the same." Beckett turned and left without any hesitation, which impressed Old Jack. As expected of Thanos's son, he made decisions without hesitation and was very decisive.

"Was this orchestrated by my mother?"

Although she was interrupted by the Soul Stone, Hela still did not forget the doubts that had arisen in her heart.

To her, it all seemed like such a coincidence.

It could even be described as a coincidence that was blatant.

"No, I don't know your mother," the complacent old Jack denied.

Hela stared at him for a long time before turning away.

Regardless of whether it is true or not, things should be done first.

"I'm just more familiar with Thanos." Watching the door slowly close, Jack Jones glanced down at the bracelet on his left wrist, a bloodthirsty smile creeping onto his lips.

After all these years, he finally has the opportunity to reclaim his former power.

As one of the seven top leaders of what was once the Universe's Number One Gang, after his gang was unexpectedly wiped out by the Nova Corps of Xandar, who called themselves the "Army of Justice," he became the sole survivor, wandering the universe as a Ronin, searching for a way to reclaim his power and take revenge on Xandar.

He had never found an opportunity before. But things are different now.

Thanos, who wanted his son to spark something special with daughter of Odin during their brutal battle, gave him hope that he could regain his power and take revenge on Xandar!

"Don't disappoint me, Son of Thanos."

By gaining Thanos's full support through Beckett, Jack Jones's simple idea of seeking revenge was revealed.

He wants revenge for the members of the Universal First Crime Syndicate, who were wiped out by the Nova Corps, and for his six brothers who died in battle.

He wants to slaughter the entire Xandar.
