Chapter 209 Earthlings can only live to their fifties...

Meanwhile, Star-Lord was already regretting his actions.

Because he realized he had overlooked the strength of these "fellow countrymen" from Earth.

When he landed, he only found two robots (steel soldiers) on the outer perimeter, so he tried to send a communication to contact Li Wei.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he landed and stepped out of the cabin, a large number of robots appeared out of nowhere around him.

And yet his spaceship was completely undetected?

This was completely different from his childhood impressions of Earth—in his mind, Earth couldn't possibly have such powerful stealth technology.

Well, under normal circumstances, it is indeed impossible for such powerful stealth technology to exist on Earth.

So the reason why the existence of the Iron Soldiers was not detected by Star-Lord's ship is quite simple.

Because before he landed, apart from a few visible steel soldiers guarding the ruins, the remaining steel soldiers were not activated at all.

The steel soldiers, which are not activated and do not show any energy, are just hidden lumps of iron. How could they possibly be detected?

Li Wei and his team had tried this on Earth; as long as it wasn't activated, the steel soldiers couldn't detect it.

Star-Lord's spaceship is the same model as Levi's Skybreaker, so there won't be any difference in that respect.

This was also something Li Wei did intentionally. When Natasha informed him that a spaceship had entered Morag, he ordered most of the Iron Soldiers to stand by, preparing to decide whether to fight or make peace after figuring out the purpose of the suddenly arriving spaceship.

Unexpectedly, it was Star-Lord who showed up.

Since that's the case, Li Wei is even less likely to let this "God of Wealth" get away.

Seeing himself surrounded by so many robots, Star-Lord knew that it was too late to retreat.

They had no choice but to bite the bullet and, escorted by these robots, go to meet Li Wei and the others.

However, he was cursing the Sovereigns in his heart.

Because the bounty notice from the Sovereigns made no mention of the fact that Li Wei and his group had such a large armed force.

Of course, he didn't know that even the Sovereigns themselves were unaware of the strength of Levi's forces, or rather, they had some suspicions but no evidence, given that they had also lost a fleet of a thousand ships.

Moreover, Star-Lord himself is to blame. If the mission hadn't been so dangerous, how could Sovereign have offered such a huge bounty of millions?

However, given Star-Lord's personality, he definitely wouldn't think that way.

Therefore, in his view, it was all the fault of the Sovereigns.

"Hello everyone, it's so great to see you all. You might not know, but when I was eight years old, I was abducted by those damned aliens and sent far away from Earth. All these years, I've been thinking about going back to Earth. Seeing you all now is such a joy..." Upon seeing Li Wei and the others in their Iron Man suits, Star-Lord put on an extremely excited expression and then kept emphasizing how much he missed Earth and how happy he was to see his fellow Earthlings.

He talked for a long time, but found that Li Wei and the others did not show any change in expression. In order to meet Star-Lord, Li Wei and the others had also opened the masks of their suits, so Star-Lord could see their expressions.

"What's wrong, everyone? I'm telling the truth!" Seeing that Li Wei and the others were unmoved, Star-Lord said with a dry laugh, a bad feeling rising in his heart.

“Of course we know you’re telling the truth, Peter Quill, born in Missouri in 1980, mother Meredith Quill, who was taken away from Earth by Yondu the Marauder in 1988.” Levi stated Star-Lord’s background expressionlessly.

His words caused Star-Lord's smile to freeze completely on his face.

He only came here to sell Li Wei and the others out for a big profit, but now he feels like he's the one being gossiped about. The other party is indeed from Earth, but why does he know about his background?
"Who exactly are you people?" Star-Lord could no longer maintain his smile and asked in a deep voice.

“We come from an organization on Earth called the Alliance. One of our purposes in coming here is to find you, at the request of your maternal grandfather, Jason Quill,” Li Wei said, using a pre-prepared excuse.

“My grandfather, he’s still alive?” Quill was stunned.

“Of course, he has thought of you every single moment of the past twenty years!” Li Wei said.

Using the other party's relatives as a raft is somewhat despicable.

But for Star-Lord at this time, who only had money in his eyes, only his family on Earth could make him care and gain his trust.

Moreover, aside from being commissioned to find Star-Lord, Levi wasn't exactly lying to Quill about anything else.

Back on Earth, Levi did indeed investigate Quill's background and learn about his family, especially his maternal grandfather.

The other person did indeed frequently mention Quill and would go to the local police station every year to inquire about the situation—he always believed that Quill had been abducted. Although he did not search for his child all over the world like many parents who have lost their children, he had not completely given up hope.

He never dreamed that Quill would be abducted by aliens.

Upon hearing Li Wei's words, Quill was immediately thrown into a daze.

In fact, he already had the ability to return to Earth. His spaceship, the Milano, was a gift from Yondu to him on his coming-of-age birthday.

By then, he was already a full member of the raiders.

So, it's entirely possible for him to return to Earth.

But he did not go back.

Because his mother had died and so many years had passed, he didn't know how he would face his long-lost hometown if he went back.

"Oh, that's surprising. I always thought he was dead." Star-Lord said awkwardly, touching his nose after regaining his senses.

"...This is the first time I've ever seen someone hear news of a long-lost relative and actually curse them to die," Tony couldn't help but mutter.

“Hey, how can this be considered a curse? The average lifespan of an Earthling is only around fifty years old, isn’t that common sense? My grandfather was over seventy, wasn’t he?” Star-Lord said to Tony with dissatisfaction.

Star-Lord's words completely stunned everyone in the league present.

Humans only live to their fifties? What kind of common sense is that?
Are we all fake Earthlings?
"Um... Am I wrong? Actually, I'm not really sure... Hahahaha," Star-Lord said somewhat awkwardly, noticing the strange expressions on Li Wei's and the others' faces.

“Let’s not talk about that, Peter Quill. In fact, while we were looking for you, we also discovered something else related to you,” Levi said, shaking his head.

"Something related to me?" Star-Lord asked again in surprise.

“Yes, it’s about your father.” Li Wei nodded.

"Come on, I don't even know who my father is, and what you guys discovered... could it be that my father is actually an alien? That would be hilarious." Star-Lord finished speaking and then burst into laughter.

But as he laughed, he couldn't laugh anymore.
