Silence.
After a brief silence.
Quill's eyes instantly widened like saucers.
Countless indescribable images flashed through his mind.
Even his voice changed pitch:
"The... the whole set?! What... what kind of whole set?!"
In an instant, his imagination became exceptionally active.
Rocket froze for a moment.
Then he erupted into earth-shaking laughter:
"Pwahahahaha!!
Stripped his clothes?!
The whole set?!
Oh my god!
Did you strip off that flashy gold-and-green armor of his too?!
Hahahaha—!"
Drax suddenly understood and gave Su Ming a thumbs-up.
His voice boomed like a bell:
"I understand!
So the way you defeated him was by making him ashamed!
I must admit, that was indeed a brilliant tactic!"
Mantis sensed the extreme fear and humiliation radiating from Loki.
Then she looked at everyone laughing themselves into a mess.
Her antennae glowed faintly as they swayed in confusion:
"...Complicated happiness... hic?"
Wanda and Pietro could not help laughing as well.
Though they did not know the details.
Judging from Loki's reaction and Su Ming's description.
They could guess it had definitely been an extraordinarily "tragic" experience.
Yondu whistled.
His golden Yaka Arrow happily circled him once.
"That's a dirty trick. I like it!"
Their laughter and uninhibited discussion were not quiet.
They were like countless sharp blades.
Precisely stabbing into Loki's fragile heart.
"Pfft—!"
Loki nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Humiliation, fear, embarrassment, rage...
All sorts of emotions instantly overwhelmed his reason.
He could no longer maintain that elegant, composed facade.
He suddenly leaned out of the private box.
He no longer cared about preserving his image in front of the Grandmaster.
Pointing at Su Ming's side, his voice rose into a shrill crack:
"Shut up!!!
Don't mention that!!!
That was a sneak attack!
It was an insult!
It was a despicable, shameless Midgardian trick!!!"
