Chapter 327 Kidnapping Star-Lord (Third Update)

"I'd like to invite you to join my team."

Sitting at the bar, Li Chuan ordered a drink for Star-Lord and stated his purpose very directly.

Star-Lord refused without hesitation.

"Your team, I'm sorry, esteemed Star-Lord, is currently part of Yondu's raider team and has no intention of jumping ship to any other raider team."

The person in front of me seems nice, but he won't switch jobs. If he were to switch, he would leave the Raiders group directly and form his own team in the future.

Seeing this, Li Chuan shook his head:

"It seems you've misunderstood. I'm not a raider. My team is called the Guardians of the Galaxy, a team dedicated to maintaining peace in the universe. I think you have a lot of potential, which is why I want to recruit you."

"Guardians of the Galaxy, you're the rich, sucker Yondu was talking about?"

Star-Lord looked surprised.

When Yondu came back in the morning and dragged him into a meeting, he mentioned Li Chuan, the gullible employer, and his mission.

"That's right. My name is Li Chuan. Our Guardians of the Galaxy are very wealthy. If you're willing to join, we can provide you with a top-of-the-line spaceship and appoint you as the vice-captain."

Li Chuan's pie-in-the-sky promise was incredibly grand.

"Ships? You're talking about ships? You have a fleet?"

Star-Lord's eyes widened in disbelief.

Ships and vessels are not the same. In the universe, ships are divided into small, medium and large spaceships.

Li Chuan's octopus-shaped spaceship and the spaceships that the Raiders usually pilot are small spaceships, while Kakala's spaceship, which can accommodate more than a dozen small spaceships, is a medium-sized spaceship.

Large spaceships can accommodate at least a hundred smaller spaceships, just like Yondu's large spaceship.

However, the value of a spaceship is not only determined by its size, but also by the equipment inside. The technological gap between ancient ships and modern aircraft carriers is enormous.

As for ships, they are in a completely different league. Smaller powers simply cannot possess them, and some less developed planets don't even have a single ship.

Only entities like the Nova Empire, the Kree Empire, and Thanos possess spaceships of that size. A single cosmic-level ship can accommodate at least a thousand, or even tens of thousands, of smaller ships.

That's why Star-Lord was so surprised when Li Chuan offered him the position of vice-captain.

"Not yet, but it shouldn't be long."

Li Chuan replied with great confidence.

Star-Lord downed the drink in his glass in one gulp, then stood up from his chair:

"Thank you for the invitation, but I think it would be more suitable to find someone else to be your vice-captain."

He didn't believe Li Chuan's words at all. He did intend to leave Yondu's raider team. He had thought about it a long time ago, but now was not the time. He didn't have enough capital and needed to accumulate it for a few more years.

Li Chuan wasn't too surprised by this, and simply said to Star-Lord's retreating figure:

"If you refuse now, you won't have the position of vice-captain when you come in next time; you'll have to start as a regular crew member."

Star-Lord waved with his back to Li Chuan, showing no sign of changing his mind, and soon disappeared.

The next day, Li Chuan brought Wanda, Gamora, and Nebula to Yondu's large spaceship.

Compared to Yondu's spaceship, Kakara's spaceship was like a 20-year-old second-hand item, not even in the same league.

"Oh, Mr. Li Chuan, my great employer, I didn't expect you to come here, otherwise I would have made arrangements for the spaceship in advance to welcome your arrival."

Yondu was somewhat surprised by Li Chuan's sudden visit.

However, given Li Chuan's financial power, he still showed great enthusiasm.

"We just wanted to say goodbye to Mr. Yondu. We'll be leaving for Xandar this afternoon. If there's any news, you can contact Gamora directly via her communicator."

Li Chuan glanced at the crowd behind Yondu and saw Star-Lord, whom he had been chatting with the night before. He then deliberately pointed to Gamora next to him.

As Li Chuan pointed, Star-Lord behind Yondu saw Gamora standing there and froze.

Her figure, her appearance, and her unique, mysterious, and aloof temperament instantly captivated his heart.

At thirty-one years old, he has seen and experienced at least eighty to a hundred women from all sorts of planets and races, but none of them have given him the peculiar feeling he has today.

With just one glance, his long-held views on love underwent a new change.

"really!"

Li Chuan, who was keeping a close eye on Star-Lord, immediately deduced from Star-Lord's expression and emotions that he had fallen in love with Gamora at first sight.

That's why he didn't try to stop Star-Lord yesterday; he knew that as long as Gamora was there, Star-Lord definitely wouldn't be able to escape.

Perhaps inheriting some traits from his father Ego, Star-Lord has had his fair share of relationships with women from all sorts of races across the universe, making him a true veteran of the dating scene, with a whole repertoire of tricks up his sleeve when it comes to seducing young girls.

But when facing Gamora, he becomes an awkward boy, like someone experiencing first love.

Thanos killed Gamora, and this guy even caused Avengers: Endgame with a single punch, which shows that his love for Gamora was absolutely extraordinary.

"Okay, I hope to hear good news from you soon."

After saying goodbye to Yondu, Li Chuan took Wanda and the other two back to Kakara's spaceship.

Although the towns on Contrasia have many attractions, many of them are not suitable for him and Wanda to enter, so they only spent a day yesterday exploring them.

If you want to have a proper trip, you should go to Xandar, the capital of the Nova Empire and the most prosperous planet in the Milky Way.

Why don't we leave now instead of waiting until the afternoon?

Inside Kakara's spaceship, Gamora asked with some confusion.

Since there's nothing else to do, why stay on this planet for another half a day?

"Because we're waiting for a new member."

Li Chuan opened his mouth to take the alien food that Wanda had just bought in town, chewing and laughing as he did so.

"A new member?"

Gamora and Nebula exchanged somewhat bewildered glances.

"Boss, there's a kid outside the spaceship who calls himself Star-Lord and wants to see you."

Just then, Kakala ran over to report to his superior.

"Look, here it is."

Li Chuan stood up and said:

"Let's meet the newest member of the Guardians of the Galaxy, Peter Quill."

A moment later, Li Chuan met Star-Lord Peter Quill at the spaceship's entrance. Peter was fully armed, carrying a backpack, and sporting a wide grin.

"I thought about it last night and realized that joining your Guardians of the Galaxy to protect the peace and security of the universe is a very meaningful and noble thing to do, so I resolutely decided to leave the evil Predators and join you!"

"If you join now, there won't be a vice-captain position."

Li Chuan said with a half-smile.

Star-Lord looked righteous and awe-inspiring.

"It's okay, it's not important."

"Great, let's get on board and set off!"

Li Chuan waved his hand, signaling Kakala to prepare to start the spaceship.
