American Comics: Starting with Muggle Wizards

"Who does he think he is, acting so arrogantly!"

"He is Drax the Destroyer. Ronan the Accuser killed his family, so he also has a grudge against Thanos!"

"It doesn't matter who does the dirty work, as long as Thanos's adopted daughter dies here today!"

Gamora was actually a little flustered to be stared at so many prisoners.

She began to explain, "I betrayed Ronan long ago, and I severed my father-daughter relationship with Thanos..."

But the stubborn Drax had no intention of listening to her explanation and raised his sharp twin blades, intending to sever Gamora's neck.

At the critical moment, Star-Lord suddenly had a brain fart and spoke up to stop him: "Wait, you can't kill her!"

"If you spare her life, Ronan will definitely come to save her, and then you can take revenge on Ronan, right?"

Drax thought it made a lot of sense.

His real enemies are Ronan and Thanos, who ordered Ronan to massacre his home planet.

Drax slowly lowered his twin swords, then turned and spared Gamora's life.

But the other prisoners still stared at Gamora with ill intent.

Gamora simply quickened her pace and entered Star-Lord's group, making the other prisoners wary.

However, they planned to join forces and, when the guards weren't looking, sneak into Gamora's prisoner camp and kill her.

Gamora walked up to Star-Lord, opened her mouth as if to say something but then stopped herself. She wanted to thank him, but she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Star-Lord spoke first, asking, "I saved your life. In return, can you tell me why you attacked me?"

Gamora hesitated for a moment before replying, "Because of the Orb of the Universe you stole from Ronan."

Star-Lord looked puzzled. "What exactly is that silver metal sphere?"

Rocket, perched on Groot's shoulders, had a better view and paid no attention to Star-Lord and Gamora's whispered conversation.

He was carefully observing the prison's architecture, thinking about how to escape.

Moreover, Rocket also needs to find a way to bring Star-Lord along so they can escape from prison together.

After all, to get a million-dollar bounty, the employer's requirement is to capture him alive.

"Bringing a burden along isn't difficult. Anyway, I've escaped prison 22 times, so this prison won't be a problem for me."

Gamora, hearing Rocket's self-talk, had a sudden thought and deliberately spoke up:

"The Cosmic Orb is an extremely rare treasure, and a collector has offered a high price of 40 billion to acquire it!"

Star-Lord's eyes widened: "A swindler? 40 billion?"

Rocket was stunned. Why bother with bounty missions? He could just finish this one and be financially independent!

"This alien from Planet Teran is mine, so all 40 billion belongs to me and Groot!"

I am Groot

Groot also spoke up, saying that 40 billion could buy hundreds or even thousands of barrels of premium nutrient solution, and of course he wanted to get involved.

Star-Lord, hearing that the raccoon had allocated 40 billion in just a few words, couldn't help but scoff:

"You idiot raccoon, you're dreaming! With the cosmic orb in my hands, of course all 40 billion are mine!"

The Rockets, dissatisfied, grumbled and cursed.

"You're the idiot! Say it again, my name is Rocket! As for the Orb of Destiny, once I take you down, it's mine..."

Gamora, seeing the two arguing louder and louder, said helplessly, "40 billion divided into four parts is 10 billion each, which is enough for us to be financially independent. There's no need to argue!"

Star-Lord, a Marauder by birth, values ​​money more than his own life, so he naturally wouldn't accept only a "mere" 10 billion.

"I am the owner of the Sphere of the Universe, so I must get the lion's share. I want half, which is 20 billion!"

"And why should we give it to that little bastard Rockets?"

Rocket bared his teeth and claws, as if he wanted to scratch Star-Lord's face. "You're the little bastard! A raider that everyone hates wants half of this? Dream on!"

"Without me, you wouldn't even be able to escape from this prison?"

Star-Lord retorted, "Fine, considering you were able to lead us out of prison, you deserve a share. Gamora was able to lead us to a buyer, so she also deserves a share."

"But this foolish tree-man doesn't deserve a share of the money!"

Groot: "I am Groot?"

Rocket chimed in, "Yeah, he's the idiot!"

“Groot is my subordinate, so of course he’s entitled to a share of the money!”

Star-Lord: "No! He didn't!"

Rockets: "Then what right do you have to allocate 40 billion? If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for cutting off your balls tonight!"

Upon hearing this threat, Star-Lord felt a chill run down his spine and, enraged, retorted, "You shameless little bastard!"

The Rockets retorted sharply: "You idiot...you old bastard...you moron..."

Star-Lord also started spouting gibberish: "Mentally challenged raccoon...idiot rabbit...don't force me to cook you..."

The two argued incessantly, with Groot occasionally blurting out, "I am Groot."

Gamora finally snapped, yelling at the two of them, "Enough! You two idiots! You haven't even gotten the 40 billion yet and you're already fighting amongst yourselves. Get the money first, then we'll split it among ourselves!"

Rocket stood on a table, staring at Star-Lord with fiery eyes.

"Once I get the money, I, Lord Rocket, will have Groot smash your ass, and see if you still dare to go against me then!"

Despite his massive size, Star-Lord still retorted defiantly, "Once I get the money, I'll blast you two bastards to pieces with my atomic blaster!"

......

The argument on Star-Lord's side also caught the attention of Tony Stark, who had entered Klin Prison two months earlier.

After spending two months in prison, Tony finally gained a basic understanding of Chaidar.

However, the prison was heavily guarded, and he searched for two months without finding any hope of escaping.

Fortunately, Tony Stark knew things were about to change the moment he saw Harvey appear.

From the moment Star-Lord and Rocket started arguing in their cell, Tony had been eavesdropping outside the door.

Of course, his main goal was to eavesdrop on Harvey's thoughts; as for Star-Lord and Rocket, those two aliens, he paid no attention to them at all.

If it weren't for the vague mentions of a cosmic orb, 40 billion, and the division of spoils, I would have been completely unaware of what was going on.

Tony was still foolishly trying to figure out if Harvey had spoken.

Chapter 148 Murder and Silence

Upon hearing the astronomical figure of 40 billion, Tony Stark now has a very good understanding of the purchasing power of the Star Dollar.

Such a large sum of money, if I were to steal it myself...

hiss--

He was moved.

Tony had long coveted the exorbitantly priced spaceships.

Such as the nuclear fusion technology, fusion battery technology, and fusion warship engine technology that are publicly sold on Chaidar Star.

With 40 billion, he could easily buy up all the high-tech products publicly available on Chaidar Star.

When Tony arrived on Chaidar, he realized just how poor he was.

The so-called world's richest man can't even afford a smartwatch here.

In the early stages, Tony had to fight in the black market to make money.

But I never expected the black market on Chaidar Star to be so corrupt. Even if you make money, they are unwilling to let you go.

Once you're in the arena, you belong to the boss in life and in death.

Tony Stark was no match for the underworld figures of Chaidar and spent the next two months in prison.

He was constantly thinking about how to escape and continue making money.

Now that the opportunity was before him, he felt he couldn't miss it and decisively went to the prison.

Hi everyone, I am...

Before Tony could even introduce himself, Star-Lord punched him in the nose, knocking him unconscious.

Rocket pulled out a stone blade he'd stolen from another prisoner and brandished it, cursing, "Damn it, this Terran guy overheard our secret, we have to kill him!"

As the most dangerous woman in the universe, she has killed at least eight or ten thousand enemies.

Gamora chimed in, echoing the sentiment of someone with ill intentions who had no connection to her:

“That’s right, we have to kill him, otherwise the value of the Cosmic Orb will be revealed, and we’ll never have peace again.”

Groot: "I am Groot"

Rocket saw Groot extend his tree hand towards the neck of the unconscious Tony Stark and agreed:

"Yes, strangle this eavesdropper to death, lest he leak the secret!"

Finally, Star-Lord couldn't stand it anymore and stopped him, saying, "Wait, he's still a Terranian. Give me, Star-Lord, some face and spare his life."

Rocket scoffed, "Star-Lord? Never heard of him. Who would give a fool like you any face?"

Gamora said coldly, "If news of the Orb of Truth leaks out, even Thanos might come and try to steal it."

Do you think you can handle Thanos's pursuit?

“Uh…” Star-Lord hesitated; Thanos’s pursuit was no joke.

That's a ruthless person who has slaughtered planet after planet; how could he dare to take that risk?

"Alright, it's rare to see someone from our hometown, so be quick and don't make him suffer too much."

Star-Lord sighed and turned away, making it clear that he didn't want to witness his fellow countryman being killed.

Rocket gave Groot a wink.

Groot then continued to extend the vines, preparing to strangle Tony Stark.
