Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 687 Throwing Out the Bait (Second Update)

"That's fantastic! I'll pay you another five billion, making it ten billion for both!"

When Divan heard that Gamora actually had an Infinity Stone, his eyes lit up with excitement.

"No, that's too few. Five hundred billion Cosmic Spirit Orbs, five hundred billion Soul Gems, a total of one trillion!"

Before Gamora could answer, Jerry stepped forward and spoke directly to Divan.

Divan was also taken aback when he saw Jerry step forward:

"And who is this gentleman?"

"This is Mr. Jerry Carmen, the owner of the Cosmic Orb and the Soul Stone. I'm just showing him the way here; he's the one who calls the shots."

Gamora's meaning is clear: she's just a guide, and Jerry is the one in charge.

"Jerry Carmen?"

Di Fan frowned. He felt that the name sounded very familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

A moment later, as if he had found something in his memory, his expression changed drastically:

"You're the Jerry Carmen we've been hearing about lately, the wizard who single-handedly wiped out Ronan's entire Kree fleet!"

Jerry Carmen isn't a particularly unusual name; many people share it. However, the only person with that name who possesses both the Orb of the Universe and the Soul Stone is likely that powerful wizard.

The inhabitants of Contraxia are mostly raiders and bounty hunters from all over the universe. After witnessing Jerry's power, how could they not spread what they had seen and heard?

Therefore, Jerry the Wizard's name is renowned not only on Earth but throughout the entire universe.

"It seems Mr. Divan knows me."

Jerry flipped his hand, and the Cosmic Orb and the Soul Stone appeared simultaneously in his right hand.

Staring at the Sphere of the Universe and the Soul Stone in Jerry's hands, the Collector tried to hide his excitement, coughed lightly, and chuckled:

"I have certainly heard of Mr. Carmen's name, but isn't five hundred billion for this gem a bit too much? That's a hundredfold increase, isn't that against the rules?"

Di Fan has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, but he has also spent a lot of money to buy and hire bounty hunters to find valuable collectibles at high prices.

Even for him, one trillion is not a small amount.

"Mr. Divan, there's nothing wrong with it. The 5 billion you quoted before was the price you agreed on with Gamora, not mine."

Besides, Gamora has no idea what kind of power the Cosmic Orb and the Soul Stone possess, nor do she know their origins, but Mr. Divan, you should know quite a bit about them!

For example, collecting all six Infinity Stones will grant you any wish.

Jerry stared into Divan's eyes, showing no sign of backing down.

Seeing this, Di Fan began his final struggle:

"Of course I know their value, but one trillion is indeed a bit too much. If you get six raw stones, I will raise one hundred trillion for you, let alone one trillion."

But that's impossible. If there are only two, I can only give you 500 billion, that's the highest value I can offer.

"Never mind then. I think I heard that Thanos is also collecting Infinity Stones. Why don't I sell them to him? I believe he might be willing to pay a trillion for them."

Without a word, Jerry put away the Cosmic Orb and the Soul Stone and turned to leave.

Upon seeing the Cosmic Spirit Orb and Soul Gem disappear, Di Fan felt a sudden urgency. After hesitating for a moment, he stamped his foot and said as Jerry was about to walk out the door:

"Alright, Mr. Carmen, you win. One trillion, I'll pay you one trillion. In return, please sell me the Cosmic Orb and the Soul Stone!"

Having lived for countless years, the only reason he continues to live is his hobby of collecting. And among all his collections, how many can compare to the six Infinity Stones created by the Big Bang?

He wasn't after power, nor was he trying to make a wish; he was simply pursuing his hobby of collecting.

If Jerry were to actually sell the two precious Infinity Stones to Thanos, he would truly have no chance at all.

He can't possibly go to war with the ruthless Thanos just because of two Infinity Stones.

So, even if it's a trillion, he still reluctantly decided to use the money to buy two Infinity Stones and place them in the most prominent position in the exhibition hall.

Actually, if Jerry wasn't as powerful as the legends say, he wouldn't mind robbing him by force.

"make a deal!"

Jerry turned around and took out the Cosmic Orb and the Soul Stone again.

Seeing the intense longing in Di Fan's eyes, he knew that Di Fan would not be able to resist the temptation of two Infinite Stones, and sure enough, he eventually agreed to his terms.

He's not short of money; he still has the ten trillion from the sale of the Dark Elf warships in his account.

The reason for pressing forward step by step is to make the performance more realistic.

Besides, why not make money for free just by talking? You can use the money you earn from Di Fan to buy the Void Land from him later, saving on costs.

"One trillion cosmic coins have been deposited into the Interstellar Union Bank account!"

Listening to the announcement from the silly girl on his wrist, Jerry readily handed over the Cosmic Orb and the Soul Stone to the delighted Divan.

Unlike the raiders of Contraxia, Divan, though the king of the black market in the Void, is publicly known as the CEO of the Divan Group and can pay his rewards through legitimate channels.

"Then I'll take my leave, Mr. Difan!"

Having achieved his goal, Jerry bid farewell to Divan, who was in a very good mood.

"If Mr. Carmen doesn't mind, you can stay in the Void for a couple more days. I'll cover all the expenses. I just hope that if Mr. Carmen has the opportunity to obtain an Infinity Stone again in the future, you can consider me first."

"Of course, we will definitely give priority to Mr. Difan. There are not many people in this universe as straightforward and friendly as Mr. Difan."

Jerry smiled and led Star-Lord away from Diffusal's collection building.

As soon as he stepped out of the building, he turned to Nebula beside him and said:

"Nebula, you can send a message to Thanos now!"

"Okay, Jerry, if you really can defeat Thanos, could you leave him for me to kill?"

Nebula nodded, then touched her half-mechanical face, her eyes filled with boundless hatred.

She was born on the planet Lufenmod, where all her family members were killed by Thanos. She was trained by Thanos's assassins from a young age, and every time she lost a sparring match with Gamora, a part of her body would be modified into a machine, a process that was worse than death.

So although she was an adopted daughter, she hated Thanos intensely, but she dared not rebel and work for him because of his power.

"no problem!"

Jerry responded and then looked Nebula up and down her semi-mechanical body:

"By the way, come to my room tonight, I need to give you a check-up!"
