Knowhere, from the appearance, looks like a huge head. According to legend, this head originally belonged to a Ancient Celestial. For some reason, someone cut off his head and threw it here, and no one helped him collect his body.
However, there are still many kind-hearted people in the vast universe. After hearing about this tragedy, countless people rushed here to help dispose of the body of the god's companion.
As for why the various precious substances on this head appear in every corner of the universe and are enjoyed by countless people as treasures, this is beyond the scope of this story.
Star-Lord and his party came here under the leadership of Shadow Ninjas. Seeing the people coming and going here, they couldn't help but be a lot more cautious.
"These guys don't look like good people. Are you sure you didn't lead them the wrong way? Or do you think there are people here and you plan to take advantage of them?"
Rocket touched the big gun behind his back, which gave him a little confidence to prevent him from turning around and leaving.
Shadow Ninjas shook his head and looked at the tallest building here. It had a style that did not belong to other buildings and felt a bit like a tourist attraction.
And after seeing it, Shadow Ninjas also knew where to go.
"Follow closely, this place doesn't look like a tourist destination. If you don't want someone to steal your kidneys secretly, don't be distracted."
Watching Shadow Ninjas find its destination, Rocket said to Star-Lord and Drax, and then followed in Shadow Ninjas's footsteps.
The group of people thought a little more after Rocket's reminder, followed Shadow Ninjas closely, and walked forward.
With Shadow Ninjas opening the way, the road was naturally smooth, and they followed Shadow Ninjas into a casino. Pushing aside the drunkards, Shadow Ninjas walked deep into the casino and rang the doorbell leading to the second floor door.
"This is the private territory of the Collector Tanya Tivan. Outsiders, what do you want?"
The maid Karina came down the stairs and looked at them through a door. Shadow Ninjas took Orb from Star-Lord and showed it to her. Rocket also came up.
"We spent a lot of effort to grab this thing from a bunch of powerful forces that can scare you to death. We heard that your boss wanted this, so we came to find him. You'd better not waste time, otherwise we will sell it to others later, and you will be chopped up alive by your boss!"
Rocket is a professional and speaks directly for Shadow Ninjas.
These words also entered Karina's heart. Although she had only served the Collector for a few months, she already knew what kind of person he was.
If the Collector really lost a collection that would have been in his hands because of her, then she might become the Collector's new collection!
Ah, no.
The Collector will not collect two of the same things. The last maid has been locked in the display cabinet, and she will really be chopped alive by the Collector!
Karina saw that Shadow Ninjas didn't look like a simple character. He hesitated for a while, but under Rocket's impatient urging, he decided to inform his boss.
Carefully walking up to the second floor, Karina saw that the Collector was admiring his collection. He spoke nervously and told the Collector about someone coming to sell things.
"Karina? Do you think that with your eyes, you can see what I need to collect?"
The Collector didn't think that a random person would get anything good. He glanced at his little maid and felt that he should find a smarter maid to take care of his collection.
Karina was so frightened that he knelt down on the spot, "I'm sorry, but the ball they were talking about is being fought over by many forces, even you want it. I thought no one would dare to make a joke in the name of offending you, so I came up to say it."
"Ball?" The Collector was already thinking about who should be the next maid, but after hearing Karina's words, he instantly became more energetic.
There are many things he wants in this universe, but recently, he really only wants a ball.
"What kind of ball?"
Karina felt the change in the Collector's tone, as if grasping a glimmer of hope, and quickly pressed the bracelet to bring up the image just now.
Looking at the projected figures, the Collector silently commented: A guy who can't see the way out, an experimental subject with traces of biological experiments on his body, a big fool, a two hundred and fifty, and...
Oh my god, are they from that race?
Even if these people can't get the ball, the Collector feels that he can forgive Star-Lord them because he is very interested in Groot among them!
And looking at the ball in the video, Shadow Ninjas took out the ball from the two hundred and five, the Collector stood up instantly.
"It's really that ball! Damn it, this thing actually appeared in front of me like this!"
The Collector was so excited that his whole body was trembling. His hands touched the projection in front of him as if he were touching a holy object, but he passed directly through it.
Realizing that this was just a projection, the Collector suddenly became anxious.
"Go and bring them up!"
Karina felt that he had escaped disaster. After hearing what the Collector said, he quickly got up and went downstairs to pick up someone. Although he made some noise, the Collector was not angry.
Listening to the footsteps in his ears, he just felt that this was the countdown to him getting Orb.
"Oh my God, it was like a dream, it suddenly came to me."
The Collector danced around like a lunatic for a while, and finally vented his excitement.
Looking at the display cabinets around him, the Collector took a few deep breaths to calm down a little.
Looking at the surrounding furnishings, the Collector suddenly felt that this was not a good place to meet guests, so he walked into his workroom.
Not long after, Karina came up with a bunch of people and brought them to the Collector. Karina showed them a sweet smile and walked to the next room, carefully wiping the display cabinets here.
Yes, Karina is a good maid. It seems that she can live for a while longer.
The Collector nodded with satisfaction, and then couldn't wait to look at Orb in Shadow Ninjas's hand.
"That ball, give it to me quickly!"
The Collector tried to reach out to take it, but Shadow Ninjas took his hand back directly.
"Give me the money first, and then deliver the goods! This is the rule, can you be more professional?"
Rocket added on the side, the Collector's face fell, but he still suppressed his desire to kill.
"Okay, rules, I like people who follow the rules!"
Looking at Rocket, the Collector was thinking about how much money it would cost to let other mercenaries make him a specimen for themselves.
But now that Orb is still in their hands, the Collector still has to plan to stabilize it first.
"What do you want, credits or materials?"
"Of course it's credits, this thing is the hardest hard currency!"
The Collector nodded, it doesn't just require those materials that can't be bought with credits.
"How many credits do you want? Is one billion enough?"
The Collector looked at the costumes of Star-Lord and his group, and guessed that they were all small characters with no real reputation. They just got Orb by accident, and they also gave this 'astronomical figure'.
"One billion! Are you really willing to give it?"
The little character Star-Lord shouted in surprise. When the Collector saw this, he quickly said, "Of course, I have cash here. How about we pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other?"
"Of course..."
Shadow Ninjas turned around and gave Drax a look. Drax, who had now become Shadow Ninjas's number one younger brother, directly covered Star-Lord's mouth and dragged him aside.
'One billion is not enough.'
Shadow Ninjas took out his notebook and wrote: 'You know the value of this thing, so you'd better not play tricks!'
The Collector squinted his eyes, "Have I met an expert? How much do you want?"
Shadow Ninjas stretched out five fingers, the Collector glanced at it, "5 billion?"
"5 billion!"*2
Rocket and Star-Lord both shouted in shock, but Shadow Ninjas still shook his head.
'50 billion!'
Shadow Ninjas wrote a few big characters and photographed them directly in front of the Collector.
The Collector looked at this number and couldn't help but fell silent.
Star-Lord saw that something was wrong with the situation, and quickly pulled Shadow Ninjas aside, "I said 50 billion is a bit too much, you see, he didn't even dare to speak!"
"Yes, I think we still need 5 billion. Believe me, no one is willing to spend 50 billion for a ball!"
Rocket followed over and said carefully, and even Groot came over and said, "I am Groot!"
Shadow Ninjas shook his head. The price was not set by him, but by Lu Qi. How could he have any say?
Seeing that Shadow Ninjas had no intention of changing the price, the group suddenly became even more anxious.
The Collector looked at the farce here and couldn't help but rub his chin and think: Shadow Ninjas Does this guy know the goods? Assuming that he doesn't know what is inside, he dares to shout out 50 billion.
And if he knew what was inside, he only shouted 50 billion?
Looking at the numbers written on the paper in front of him, the Collector also squinted his eyes.
"50 billion, deal!"
The Collector's opening immediately attracted the attention of Star-Lord's group.
"50 billion, do you really plan to pay 50 billion?"
Rocket immediately pinched his two ears unacceptably and pulled them up crazily.
Star-Lord was also shocked instantly, 50 billion, this number, even those Ravagers bastards couldn't even get it together by selling all their people and ships!
'cash'
"No problem!"
The Collector opened his drawer and took out a thick stack of vouchers. With these vouchers, Star-Lord and his party could exchange them for real credit points at any cosmic bank.
Taking out 50 billion vouchers, the Collector pushed them in front of Shadow Ninjas.
"Now, can you give me Orb?"
Shadow Ninjas put the ball on the table, rolled it directly, and then gave a color to Rocket and Star-Lord behind him. Without opening a word, the two money fans immediately knew what Shadow Ninjas meant and hurried over to put the voucher in their pockets.
With these astronomical figures in hand, Star-Lord and Rocket quickly pulled down Shadow Ninjas's clothes. Shadow Ninjas, who had been looking at the Collector, nodded and followed the others out of here.
Seeing the other party's appearance of not worrying about him falling out, the Collector didn't know what he was thinking, but watching them leave, the Collector also thought of business.
Putting Orb on his workbench, the two robotic arms immediately began to dismantle Orb. In front of these two robotic arms, even the Orb designed by the ancient empire was quickly opened.
In the Collector's expectant gaze, a black crystal appeared in front of him.
"This is... something!"
Unlike other forces, the Collector has a piece of precious video information in his hands, so he also knows what the real Infinity Stones looks like.
And this black Infinity Stones does not belong to the 6 Infinity Stones at all, and is not what he wants!
The Collector angrily grabbed the Energy Crystals, confirmed that it was not a spoiled Infinity Stones, and smashed it aside hard.
"How dare you play tricks on me! I'm going to kill you!"
Star-Lord The group walked out of the casino quickly and looked at the people coming and going around. Everyone in the group with a huge sum of money in their pockets felt something was wrong.
"We'd better leave here quickly, otherwise if that guy regrets it or wants to take back the 50 billion..."
Rocket didn't finish his words, but everyone else knew what he meant.
The Collector is the master of this place. If the other party wants them to die, they don't have to take action personally, they will have to finish it!
Star-Lord also nodded, "Then let's leave quickly!"
But at this moment, projections appeared on all the surrounding buildings, and the Collector's angry face appeared in the projections.
"I, the owner of Knowhere, am offering a bounty to a few bastards who dare to cheat me! No matter who they are, they can collect a bounty of 10 million from me with their heads!"
After that, the costumes of Shadow Ninjas and his group appeared on the projection.
"Damn it, this guy really can't afford it!"
Rocket cursed, threw the certificate to Groot, asked him to put it into his body, and then took out the big gun on his back.
Star-Lord followed suit and was ready for battle.
The surroundings also fell into a brief silence. During this period, Star-Lord and the others could feel that countless sizing eyes came from around them, as if they were confirming something. And after confirming, these eyes also contained endless killing intent and greed.
I don't know who fired the first shot, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
Countless people rushed towards Star-Lord with weapons and tried to cut off their heads.
But sharp sword lights flashed past, and their heads fell to the ground first.
"Dare to attack me!"
Rocket also roared angrily. With a small body and huge energy, the modified firearm in his hand sprayed out bullets crazily, directly shooting through the bodies of countless desperadoes. Star-Lord on the side also took out his stun gun, adjusted the power to the maximum, and directly electrocuted the surrounding enemies into kebabs.
And Drax also showed his strength. He directly grabbed an unlucky guy, picked him up and smashed him around. The bastards around him couldn't get close to him, and he was thrown away.
Groot, armed with a huge sum of money, did not charge into battle easily, but his body could be stretched wildly, and he could directly transform into two long whips tens of meters long, flying away enemies around him. Even those buildings were unable to withstand his power.
But the existence that most resembles a god of war is Shadow Ninjas. Relying on his unparalleled physique and skills, Shadow Ninjas is like a god of death, advancing instead of retreating and rushing into the crowd.
Immediately, the sword flashed across, and countless blood spurted out from the limbs, turning the surroundings into a bloody purgatory.
"A bunch of idiots! Just hit them with a spaceship!"
The Collector roared angrily, but he forgot who said he wanted to keep his head as a certificate.
After receiving instructions from the Collector, spaceships flew into the sky one after another, flying towards Rocket and the others.
"Brothers, what should we do?"
Rocket put on a new magazine, looked at the densely packed spaceships in the sky, and yelled at the others.
Star-Lord looked at this scene and said with some despair, "Even if we are on the spaceship, we can't escape from so many spaceships, let alone we are still on the ground."
The group fell into despair, only Shadow Ninjas still regarded these spaceships as nothing.
"Damn it, we shouldn't ask for 50 billion. If you ask me, we should ask for 5 billion!"
Rocket regretted, Star-Lord sighed on the side, "Don't say 5 billion, just 500 million! Oh no, as long as it allows me to survive, I will give you the money."
When death is imminent, Star-Lord they realize that money is worthless in front of life.
And if they can get out alive, it's okay not to need these 50 billion!
"Really?"
In this chaotic scene, a sound came to their ears very clearly.
Then, a bolt of black lightning struck into the fleet in the sky, instantly firing out tens of millions of attacks, accurately hitting each spacecraft, directly Oblivion these spacecrafts.
The fleet that originally made them despair seemed to be erased by an eraser in an instant and disappeared from their eyes. For a moment, Star-Lord and others were all stunned there.
And when everything dissipated, a figure was suspended in the air, looking down at the chaotic Knowhere.
"You are bullying me, right? Then stop playing!"
