Sean sat in the entertainment center that combined a casino and bar, watching Star-Lord's group swagger inside. Now that they had entered Knowhere, they no longer needed to worry about the Nova Corps' wanted notices. Most people here carried seven or eight criminal charges anyway.
Without the Tivan Group's permission, the Nova Corps had no authority to enforce the law here. That was the privileged status enjoyed by Taneleer Tivan, one of the Elders of the Universe.
However, Ronan the Accuser of the Kree Empire had always been a bold and ruthless warlord who never cared about rules.
To conceal his search for the Orb, that Kree Empire warmonger had slaughtered the entire Kyln Prison. That alone showed how cruel and lawless he was.
"Such a familiar aura."
Sean covertly glanced at the backpack over Star-Lord's shoulder. Inside was a sealed silver sphere, its metallic surface carved with intricate patterns.
That was the Orb, one of the Infinity Stones.
In truth, the silvery-white casing was like a safeguard, securely sealing the Power Stone within and preventing its terrifying energy from leaking out and causing catastrophic consequences.
Just how had Morag managed to destroy its own planet?
A thought flashed through Sean's mind.
Passing through the noisy crowd, Star-Lord and Gamora entered a somewhat quieter observation deck. Rocket Raccoon, the tree-like Groot, and Destroyer Drax were all outside playing the Orloni game.
After their thrilling, desperate prison break, escaping the pursuing Nova Corps, and standing on the verge of collecting a sky-high bounty of four billion, it was only natural that they wanted to vent their exhilaration.
Besides, Taneleer Tivan's representative had yet to arrive, so they could only wait here.
As for Star-Lord himself, he was indulging his roguish nature, secretly thinking about how to flirt with the voluptuous Gamora.
