Gamora breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that neither Star-Lord nor Rocket Raccoon intended to hand her over.

Although she didn't say it, she actually considered them her partners.

I don't want to become their enemy.

At this moment, Drax seemed to notice the awkward atmosphere among his teammates and came over curiously to ask, "What's wrong with you guys? What's this about handing it over or not?"

Groot walked over and called out, "Groot..."

Star-Lord and Rocket Raccoon both shook their heads and said in unison, "It's nothing."

However, noticing the unfriendly glances around him, Star-Lord still said, "Gamora, why don't you go back first? I'm afraid..."

Before Star-Lord could finish speaking, Gamora shook her head and said, "No need, these people wouldn't dare to make a move here."

Indeed, although this is the Mercenary Alliance's mission hall, they are actually on the territory of the Peace Alliance.

Anyone who dares to make a move here is disrespecting the Peace Alliance, and when the guards are deployed, no one will escape.

After saying that, Gamora took the lead and walked into the mission hall, followed closely by the other four.

Soon, the five of them submitted their mission and received twenty-five Cosmic Credits.

Just as the five were about to leave, Gamora suddenly noticed the latest news about the bounty.

If she doesn't return within three months, Thanos will destroy the Hozberry.

Upon seeing this, Gamora's body couldn't help but tremble.

She wasn't a Coldblood and ruthless person like Thanos; she still had deep feelings and attachment to her home planet.

"No, I have to go back!"

After saying that, she went to the entrance of the mission hall.

However, she found that a crowd had already gathered around her.

Although these people didn't make a move, they were looking at her with ill intent.

Clearly, the 50 million bounty was tempting to everyone. If it weren't for the fact that the bounty required a live person and that a spaceport was needed to leave, some people might have disregarded the Peace Alliance's rules and taken action directly.

Seeing this, Gamora's expression turned extremely grim.

At this moment, Star-Lord and the other three arrived beside Gamora and asked gravely, "What do we do now?"

Rocket Raccoon picked up the Energy Gun at his waist, and said with a nonchalant and crazy look, "Looks like a big show is about to begin."

After saying that, he clicked open the safety latch.

Upon seeing this, the people around immediately brandished their weapons.

From ordinary swords and knives to Energy Machine Gun and cannons, there's a wide variety of weapons available.

Seeing this, Gamora immediately picked up the Dagger from her thigh, Star-Lord gripped his energy pistol, Drax took the short sword from his waist, and Groot also looked solemn.

At this tense and volatile moment, the sound of sirens suddenly filled the air, "Hurrah... Hurrah..."

Soon, more than a dozen Nova Corps Spaceship flew over the group and began to shout.

"Action is forbidden on the Peace Alliance territory; anyone who does so will be killed on the spot!"

Seeing this, the group of mercenaries had no choice but to put away their weapons and slowly retreat.

Even after retreating, she remained unwilling to give up and secretly monitored Gamora from nearby.

After all, the temptation of 50 million Cosmic Credits was too great, and some people still held onto a glimmer of hope.

However, the Spaceship in the sky did not leave, but instead landed in front of Gamora.

These Spaceship are three meters high, ten meters long, and four meters wide, resembling a large bird with reversed wings.

This is the Peacekeeper Model 7 of the Peace Alliance. It is all white, uses an anti-gravity levitation magnetic system, has a top speed of 3,000 kilometers per hour, and is equipped with an electromagnetic cannon, two guillotine machine guns, and a new type of Energy Shield.

The only downside is that it incorporates too much high technology, resulting in limited energy and insufficient battery life.

If used at full power, it will only last for three hours before running out of battery.

Soon, more than a dozen members of the Nova Corps came down.

The leader was a woman with golden skin, wearing a sleeveless black bodysuit and a golden Helmet.

There is a hexagonal red star on the Helmet.

"Gamora, hello. My name is Irani, a centurion in the Nova Corps."

The Guardians of the Galaxy breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the other person's name.

Irani is known for his kindness and fairness within the Nova Corps, so he shouldn't make things difficult for them.

Seeing that the five Guardians of the Galaxy had calmed down, Irani smiled and said, "Our governor needs to speak with you. Please come with us."

Upon hearing this, Gamora thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."

Soon, the five boarded the Peacekeeper No. 7 and began flying towards a tall tower.

The architectural style of Peace Star is a bit strange; they like to build tall, pointed, tower-like houses that are also very slender.

Fortunately, the weather on this planet has always been very stable; if a category 10 typhoon were to hit, it would probably be blown over.

A dozen minutes later, Irani led the Guardians of the Galaxy to the top of the tallest and most beautiful tower.

This was the first time Gamora had ever seen such a beautiful building. Within Thanos's territory, all buildings were designed for practicality and durability; apart from the Sanctuary, there were no truly beautiful structures.

This made her increasingly convinced that her father's tyranny should be overthrown.

Stepping into the tower, the five members of the Guardians of the Galaxy were filled with envy at the magnificent and high-class interior.

Even the dull-witted Groot looked completely bewildered.

Soon, Irani led five people to a spot twenty meters away from a person dressed in white Queen's attire.

The other person was about 1.7 meters tall, with snow-white skin, and looked to be in his fifties. He had shallow wrinkles on his face and a full head of white hair.

This all-white outfit doesn't look strange at all; on the contrary, it exudes an aura of purity and holiness.

She is Ms. Mela, the commander of the Nova Corps.

Irani crossed his arms and performed the highest level of respectful greeting before speaking, "Centurion Irani, leading Gamora, has come to pay homage to Lady Mela."

Mela nodded slightly, then looked at Gamora and asked calmly, "You must be Gamora."

Gamora nodded and said cautiously, "Hello, Ms. Mela, I'm Gamora."

Mela's expression suddenly changed, and a powerful aura emanated from her entire body.

"Thanos's daughter, your father destroyed our Holy Land."

Xandar is the birthplace of the Nova Corps and an important member of the Peace Alliance.

Otherwise, the Kree Empire wouldn't have been so furious when they learned that Ronan was going to destroy Xandar, and wouldn't have gone directly to Thanos to ask him not to intervene.

All five members of the Guardians of the Galaxy, except Gamora, were forced to bend their knees by the powerful aura.

Gamora, having spent so much time with Thanos, had long since become accustomed to the aura of Skyfather-level, let alone Sub-Skyfather.

Yes, this Ms. Mela is a powerful being at the Sub-Celestial Father Level, and one of the three governors of the Nova Corps.
