Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 408 Jerry's Offer (First Update)

"How much did your buyer offer?"

Jerry nonchalantly pushed away the knife Gamora had placed against his neck, seemingly unconcerned that its sharpness might cut him.

Then, quite naturally, he got out of bed and poured himself a glass of Xandar's unique Puji Puji wine.

Puji Puji Wine is a low-alcohol wine with a pinkish appearance. It is made by combining special substances from 250 planets in the universe using high technology.

Each bottle is worth millions, and after drinking it, you'll feel a squelching sensation, which is absolutely amazing.

It was a type of liquor that Jerry discovered in the bar area while wandering around the hotel.

However, apart from the first bottle which he bought with money, all the bottles he drank after that were created using Transfiguration.

Therefore, at his level, making money is incredibly easy. He can conjure up a huge amount of this million-dollar Puji Puji wine simply by expending a little magic power.

"Hey, can't you show me some respect? I've got a gun pointed at you!"

Rocket Raccoon, seeing that Jerry completely ignored him, jumped onto the bed in anger, pointed a stun gun at Jerry's forehead, and roared.

Jerry glanced at the snarling, grimacing fire raccoon and handed it the bottle of liquor.

"Oh, sorry, you look a bit like one of my favorite animal-themed instant noodles when I was a kid, so it's hard for me to feel threatened. Want a drink?"

"An animal? You call me an animal? I hate it when people call me an animal! You're mocking me, and I'm going to kill you right now!"

The raging raccoon smashed the bottle on the ground, then released the safety on his stun gun, ready to fire a shot at Jerry.

Seeing this, Star-Lord quickly stepped forward, picked Rocket Raccoon up, and comforted him:

"Rocket, calm down. We haven't gotten the Orb back yet, and look, he's not mocking you, he's buying you drinks!"

"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to mock you. Also, the bottle you just broke was Puji Puji wine, and it's worth a million."

Jerry downed the drink in his glass in one gulp, then shrugged.

"One million!"

Star-Lord and Rocket Raccoon screamed in surprise as they saw the pink liquid flowing on the ground.

It's important to understand that a raider team might only earn a few million after a large mission, and after that, each individual would only get a few tens of thousands.

This is one of the reasons why Star-Lord broke away from his team to take on freelance work.

Rocket Raccoon and Groot, two bounty hunters, dared to openly use weapons to capture Star-Lord in the capital of Xandar, simply because of a $40,000 bounty.

It is clear that tens of thousands of yuan is not a small amount for ordinary people.

Just now, Rocket Raccoon smashed a bottle of wine worth millions on the ground.

At that moment, besides feeling sorry for her, I had no other thoughts.

"Stop worrying about this. I've already contacted a buyer and retrieved the Cosmic Orb. We'll get four billion, and split it among the three of us, each of us will get over a billion!"

Gamora, seeing Star-Lord and Rocket Raccoon's pathetic state, loudly reminded them in an annoyed tone.

"No, it's divided among four people!"

Rocket Raccoon corrected him without thinking, then stopped looking at the disappearing Million on the ground and pointed the stun gun at Jerry again.

Drax, that idiot, is obsessed with avenging his wife and children by finding Ronan. He doesn't care about the money, but he can't skimp on his good brother Groot's share.

"Mr. Carmen, you heard it too, the new buyer is willing to offer four billion, so hurry up and hand over the Cosmic Orb, let's not waste any more time!"

Star-Lord snapped out of his daze and cheekily reached out his hand to Jerry.

Jerry looked at Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, and Gamora and smiled:

"How about this, I'll offer four billion. If you can do me a small favor, I can add another billion!"

"Fifty billion!"

Upon hearing Jerry's offer, Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon, and Gamora all widened their eyes.

What's wrong with this universe? Has money become so worthless?

It's amazing how many fools are willing to spend money on such a small iron ball.

"Why should we believe you have that much money?"

Gamora was the first to recover from her shock and asked cautiously.

The buyer she contacted was the renowned cosmic collector, Di Fan, who possessed the Void Land and was definitely capable of paying them four billion.

But it's hard to say about this young man in his early twenties.

Although he stayed at the best Grand Hotel and drank million-dollar liquor, that doesn't prove he had the ability to come up with 4 billion, or rather, 5 billion, to pay them.

After all, she couldn't possibly be unaware of someone who could so easily possess so much wealth.

"Shadow Binding!"

Jerry glanced at the three of them, then snapped his fingers lightly.

In an instant, three dark figures rushed out from the ground and, with lightning speed, bound all three of them tightly.

"If I didn't want to return the Cosmic Orb to you, you simply wouldn't be able to take it back!"

Ten minutes later, Jerry conjured a bottle of Puji Puji liquor out of thin air and poured a glass for each of Star-Lord, Gamora, and Rocket Raccoon, who had already been freed from the shadow magic's restraints.

"So, you three are still wanted criminals?"

"Yes, to be precise, there are five. Groot and Drex are still hiding in a spaceship outside Xandar. We had to find someone to smuggle them in."

Star-Lord explained.

After being easily defeated by Jerry's magic without any chance to fight back, Star-Lord, Gamora, and Rocket Raccoon realized that there was a high chance that Jerry was telling the truth when he said he would give them five billion.

Otherwise, the other party could easily take them down the moment they break into the house and then send them to prison.

Of course, the most important thing is that they have no choice but to believe it, because the Cosmic Orb is in Jerry's hands, and they simply cannot get it, nor can they go to the Void to exchange it for those four billion.

We can only trust that Jerry will keep his promise and give them five billion.

Therefore, the three of them openly shared their situations with Jerry.

Star-Lord is from Earth, and he and Jerry are from the same place. When he was a child, he was secretly taken away from Earth by a group of raiders and became a member of them. Now he has escaped and is working alone.

Rocket Raccoon and Groot were once cellmates. After successfully escaping from prison, they became bounty hunters, taking on missions to earn money.

Gamora's identity is quite remarkable; she is Thanos's goddaughter. She was adopted and trained by Thanos from a young age to become a top assassin and complete various secret missions. Later, Thanos sent her to assist Ronan the Accuser in finding the Orb of the Universe.

However, Gamora harbors deep hatred for Thanos because her parents were killed by Thanos, and half of her people on Zehobery, the planet she was born on, died at the hands of Thanos's army.

This time, she wanted to acquire a huge fortune by selling the Orb of Destiny, so she could completely break free from Thanos and Ronan the Accuser and live her own life.
