A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 223 Go Back and Lay the Tables

The Sovereigns' request for peace was somewhat unexpected for Livy.

If it were the Sovereigns themselves, then it would be understandable.

After all, even a powerful figure like Ronan had to retreat when faced with an absurd being like Captain Marvel.

The Kree Empire has been repeatedly defeated by Captain Marvel alone over the past decade or so.

The problem is that the Sovereigns were not a separate civilization.

Behind them lies the existence of supreme evolution.

Even the initial conflict between the two sides occurred because Sovereign accepted the order of the Supreme Evolution.

As for the Supreme Evolution, although Li Wei was not clear about the opponent's specific strength, he instinctively felt that the opponent was not the kind of person who would easily compromise.

However, after the Sovereign fleet commander explained the situation, Levi immediately understood the plan of Ayesha, the priestess of Sovereign.

“You Sovereigns have quite the scheme, planning to use someone else to do your dirty work… Afterwards, whether we die or the Supreme Evolution perishes, you will all be free!” Li Wei bluntly exposed their intentions.

This kind of petty trick of using someone else to do the dirty work is too crude.

"Your Excellency has misunderstood. It was not our Sovereign intention to cause you trouble..." Seeing that Li Wei had exposed their plan without hesitation, the commander of the Sovereign fleet was very embarrassed and wanted to argue.

“That’s right, this was definitely not your intention, but it was you, Sovelin, who stirred up the trouble. You can’t just dismiss it with a simple misunderstanding!” Li Wei waved his hand and said.

"But in the end, we are the ones who suffer the losses!" the commander of the Sovelin fleet said with great resentment.

"That's because you're not strong enough, isn't it?" Li Wei sneered.

"So what does Your Excellency wish to do?" asked the commander of the Sovelin fleet.

“It’s very simple… just meet these conditions!” Li Wei smiled and pushed a piece of paper in front of the other party. It contained several terms that he and Tony had just discussed and agreed upon.

"This is impossible!" The commander of the Sovelin fleet jumped up after just one glance.

For Sovelin, the terms on these clauses could be described as "humiliating and detrimental to the nation."

This Earthling is completely treating Sovereignty as a "defeated nation" and trying to extort money from it.

This was unacceptable to the commander of the Sovereign fleet.

If he agreed to these conditions, the high priest and the council would definitely skin him alive.

"See, I knew you couldn't make the decision, but it's alright. You can convey our conditions to your High Priest and have her come and talk to us personally." Faced with the other party's outburst, Li Wei said calmly.

The conditions he offered were indeed very harsh.

Sovelin, of course, could not agree to that.

However, negotiations, like haggling, are always a back-and-forth process.

Therefore, Li Wei did not expect the other party to agree directly.

More importantly, Livy hoped to negotiate with High Priestess Ayesha in person.

At least the person he's facing right now isn't someone who can make decisions!

“I understand, I will convey your request to the High Priest!” the Sovereign fleet commander said solemnly.

Since Li Wei had already said all that, he naturally wouldn't press the matter any further and immediately took his leave.

"Do you think the Sovereigns will really agree to our conditions?" Tony asked Levi as he watched the Sovereign fleet commander leave.

“It’s impossible to agree to everything, but most of the conditions should be achievable after negotiations. After all, many of our conditions don’t actually have much practical benefit for them. In exchange for breaking free from the control of the Supreme Evolution, I think the High Priest knows what to choose!” Li Wei said. “Of course, the prerequisite for these conditions to be achieved is that we can handle that Supreme Evolution.” Although Li Wei didn’t know the nature of the relationship between Sovelin and their creator, the Supreme Evolution.

However, judging from Sovelin's current attitude toward seeking peace, and Ayesha's performance in the film...

Li Wei could also imagine that their relationship wasn't so harmonious.

If Ayesha is unwilling to be subservient to others, then there is a high probability that she will agree to their conditions.

In fact, it's just that Levi hadn't seen Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 and didn't know that Supreme Evolution was essentially using the Sovereigns like dogs.

If he had known, the conditions he proposed would have been even more demanding.

"Carol agreed to help?" Tony nodded and asked.

When it comes to dealing with a cosmic-level behemoth like the Supreme Evolution, he actually doesn't have much confidence.

Although they had previously eliminated Ego, it must be said that Captain Marvel played a significant role. Without her holding back Ego's human form, their operation would not have gone so smoothly.

Therefore, if they also have Carol's help, they will be much more confident in facing the Supreme Evolution.

"I've agreed in principle, but it can't be delayed too long, after all, this captain is someone who can't sit still." Levi couldn't help but sigh as he spoke of Carol Danvers.

In fact, Captain Marvel wanted to leave after dealing with Ego.

After all, her original intention when she came here was just to take care of Li Wei and his fellow countrymen from Earth, not to join the alliance.

Being able to help them get rid of Igor is already more than enough.

In addition, he's a meddlesome "street hustler" who loves to "meddle" in other people's business.

Captain Marvel is naturally a restless person, so it's unrealistic to expect her to stay in one place for too long.

More importantly, the Supreme Evolution is not Ego and has not shown any significant threat to the entire universe—at least based on the intelligence we have, the Supreme Evolution is more like a legitimate research fanatic than an ambitious schemer. If the Supreme Evolution hadn't provoked Levi and his group first, she probably wouldn't have been willing to get involved in this matter.

"Ultimately, our alliance still doesn't have enough high-level combat power," Tony sighed.

Although the alliance has grown incredibly strong thanks to their efforts, only Levi and Jessica can truly be considered high-level combatants.

As for the others, they might be considered top-tier on Earth, but they're really nothing in the universe.

Yondu alone could easily beat all the League members except Jessica and Levi to a pulp.

"You've made up your mind?" Hearing Tony's exclamation, Levi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

In fact, Tony brought up this topic more than once after arriving in space.

Therefore, Li Wei knew that the other party had developed feelings for someone.

This person was none other than Wanda, who was secretly adopted in England years ago.

Scarlet Witch... The power of the fully-formed Scarlet Witch... Heh!
“Yes, I’ve decided to go back and confront those two kids. We had to face it sooner or later, right?” Tony nodded and said. “Besides, didn’t you say that kid is kind-hearted at heart? I think they might beat me up after they find out the truth, but they shouldn’t kill me, right?”

"That's hard to say!" Li Wei shrugged.

"And you won't just watch me die, right?"

"I'll pick out a nice spot for you, and then I'll send you flowers every year..."

"That's not what you said back then..."
