A certain American comic book's secondary profession master

Chapter 238 Groot

Under the envious gazes of the Collector's maids, Cosmo and Howard the Duck followed Levi and the other three as they left the Collector's residence.

They planned to head to a bar for a drink and a chat with Howard the Duck before officially leaving Nowhere.

The collectors, watching Li Wei and his group leave, suddenly relaxed.

The reason he suddenly gave up on raising prices was because he suddenly felt an extremely strong palpitation.

As a cosmic elder who has lived for countless millennia, the Collector's intuition has always been extremely sharp.

So at that time, he decisively chose to give in.

Sure enough, as soon as I let go, the intense palpitation disappeared.

This immediately made the collector realize the source of his palpitations.

So watching Li Wei's departing figure, the Collector couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "It seems the universe is about to be in turmoil again."

Hopefully, this old man won't be implicated!
…………

Communicating with Howard the Duck is not difficult.

Howard Duck doesn't even care what the league is for.

After Li Wei treated him to a few drinks and he inquired about the benefits of becoming a member of the alliance, he readily accepted Li Wei's invitation.

It makes one seem very Zen-like.

As for Cosmo, let's not even mention him.

Dogs are man's best friend. Knowing that Li Wei "bought" it, it immediately recognized Li Wei as its master.

Having achieved their main objective, Li Wei and his group, along with two new members, embarked on their journey back to the anti-Earth.

It was just their luck—how should I put it?

I don't know whether to say it's good or bad.

While flying over what should have been an uninhabited region of the planet, they received a distress signal sent by telegram.

The distress signal originated from a cosmic prison belonging to a civilization called the Franks.

It was said that a riot had broken out in the space prison, so the prison guards sent out a distress signal.

At first, Li Wei didn't want to pay attention to this distress signal.

The League is indeed a superhero organization, but in Levi and Tony's vision, it has always been a superhero organization dedicated to protecting Earth's interests, rather than a noble cause like Captain Marvel's, which aims for universal peace.

However, the escaped prisoners in this prison were rather tactless, and they came looking for Li Wei and his group.

Because most space prisons are located in extremely remote star sectors, and apart from regular supply transport, they are rarely equipped with long-range travel ships capable of space jumps, only some small close-range escort ships.

This is also to ensure that even if prisoners escape from custody, they cannot truly escape this star sector.

Clearly, the prisoners in this jail were somewhat desperate to escape this star sector. Li Wei and his group received the distress signal not long ago.

They encountered several prisoners operating several guard ships who attacked the Potian, attempting to hijack it and escape the sector.

Given this situation, can Li Wei tolerate them?

He opened the portal, directly taking Jessica and Bullseye on a counter-landing mission, and quickly wiped out the prisoners on the guard ship.

After that, he even had Mandis pilot the spaceship to land on the space prison.

They helped the guards here, suppressed the riot, and rescued the imprisoned warden and a group of prison guards.

"Thank you so much for your help, Franks will remember your kindness!" Warden Baker said to Levi with great gratitude as he watched the rearmed prison guards escort the prisoners back to their cells.

"It's nothing!" Li Wei waved his hand dismissively. If these prisoners hadn't been courting death, he wouldn't have bothered with this mess.

"Jessica, look! That creature is so interesting, it looks like a tree!" Just then, Levi, who was bored and about to say goodbye to Warden Baker, heard Mandis's exclamation.

So I subconsciously glanced in that direction.

They were immediately stunned.

Isn't that Groot?

“Oh, that’s a Flora Colossus. They’re rare these days. Actually, this guy is quite strange. Most Flora Colossi are very violent. Their civilization was destroyed because of their constant outward expansion. But this guy is quite peaceful. He’s often bullied in prison.” Warden Baker noticed Levi’s gaze towards the Tree Man and introduced him.

"Since he has a very peaceful personality, why did he end up in this prison?" Li Wei couldn't help but ask.

After pacifying the prison, he learned that it was a prison specifically for serious offenders; only those who had committed particularly grave crimes would be sent there.

Speaking of this, Li Wei couldn't help but think of the rocket in the original story.

In Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1, when Rocket and Star-Lord were imprisoned by the Nova Corps, their experiences were recounted.

At that time, the rocket had already accomplished the feat of escaping from 22 space prisons!
Does that mean that Rocket was actually imprisoned in this prison, and that he and Groot met in prison?

You know what, the chances are pretty good!
"Well, he was probably implicated. He was found with a group of space pirates. Because he only knows the word 'Groot,' he couldn't communicate normally and couldn't defend himself, so he was imprisoned here," Warden Baker said with a shrug.

“I see, Warden Baker. I’m very interested in him. Can I take him with me?” Levi nodded and then asked.

“Normally it shouldn’t be possible, but right now, the prison has just experienced a riot. Since it was a riot, some casualties were inevitable. Poor Treeman, he died in this riot!” Warden Baker said as he took out a controller full of prison inmate information and began to browse through it.

Because of this riot, many of the prisoners have been marked as dead!
Warden Baker quickly found Groot's information and recorded it as a death!
"Thank you very much!" Li Wei said with a smile, patting the warden on the shoulder.

This warden is quite sensible; he likes him!
Subsequently, as arranged by the warden, Groot appeared on the spaceship just as Levi and the others were preparing to leave the space prison.

“Groot, you’re free now. From now on, follow us and you won’t be bullied anymore!” Levi said to Groot, who seemed a little lost.

“I’m Groot!” Groot replied. Although it was unclear what he meant, his expression showed that he was in a good mood to be able to leave prison.

So Li Wei looked at Mantis.

Yes, none of them could understand Groot's language, but that's because they had Mantis, the super translator who could sense the emotions of other beings, right?
