Trading for the Orb in Creative Ways

Star-Lord said, "Since you don't want to take it by force, what are you planning to use to buy it?"

"For your share, how about I trade you two boxes of song tapes?"

Star-Lord's expression twisted briefly. To him, those tapes meant far more than ordinary money.

But when the money reached a certain amount, that meaning... seemed something he could set aside for a while. With one billion credits, thoughts of home could wait.

Since this mysterious man had the strength yet did not simply seize it, he probably would not force a trade with two boxes of tapes.

"I have no intention of trading the tapes for credits, but that isn't the point."

Apocalypse knew two boxes of tapes could never buy a quarter share, so he continued, "What if I add a bouquet of flowers?"

Star-Lord asked strangely, "What flowers?"

Gamora, Rocket Raccoon, and the others watched the negotiation between the two with confusion.

They knew Star-Lord loved listening to music, but how could two boxes of song tapes possibly be worth one billion credits?

There was no need to even think about it!

Yet Star-Lord had actually hesitated before finally refusing, filling Gamora with curiosity. What songs were those? How could they have such power?

He had actually needed to weigh them against one billion credits. She definitely had to listen to them if she ever got the chance.

As for the bouquet mentioned afterward, Gamora and Rocket Raccoon were just as puzzled as Star-Lord. What kind of flowers could be compared to one billion credits?

Apocalypse pressed the watch on his wrist, projecting a holographic recording into the air.

The image showed a cemetery. Green grass covered the ground, while densely packed white gravestones
