I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

In the intelligence brokerage business, becoming a big and powerful business is not something that can be achieved simply by being strong, cautious, and experienced.

These are just the most basic factors; the most important thing is whether you have enough luck in life.

So when he hired these twelve permanent bodyguards, he had already made a contract with them.

Once he dies, his estate will be divided, with one percent going to his wife and daughters, and the remaining ninety-nine percent being equally distributed among his bodyguards.

This ensures that even if he dies, his wife and daughters, even if they are not as wealthy as they are now, will not end up on the streets or live an even more miserable life.

Having feelings alone cannot guarantee a promise, but having interests can.

Lacey and Mrs. Butterfly followed the forest path and climbed upwards until they arrived at the gate of the large villa.

"Welcome, distinguished guests. Please follow the signs and come in."

With a "thump!" the villa gate opened automatically, and Huanxing's friendly voice rang out in the air, welcoming Lacey and Mrs. Butterfly.

Following the guidance of the villa's intelligent AI voice, Lacey and Mrs. Butterfly quickly arrived at the villa.

"I had anticipated the identity of the guests, but I never expected to be greeted by distinguished guests from the Void God Cult."

Huanxing usually dresses more discreetly when meeting guests, but knowing that the person in front of him is a distinguished guest, he chose to show his true face and dress more formally.

Lacey usually interacts with data, because she knows that if she were to have face-to-face conversations with many people in her current capacity, it would scare them away.

While it may be frightening and ensure more accurate information, it can also be very troublesome.

"Don't be so nervous, we're just here to buy information."

"Whether we buy it or not, we won't take the initiative; we'll just leave."

Seeing that the other person was male, Lacey felt much more at ease and said calmly.

"I feel relieved to hear your words."

"So, whose information do you two want to know?"

"I will answer to the best of my knowledge."

Upon hearing Lacey's statement, Huanxing knew that as long as she acted amicably, she could save her life, so she relaxed and became more enthusiastic.

"As for Thanos, as long as you have accurate information, the price is negotiable."

Lacey didn't waste any words and spoke directly upon hearing this.

"Seeing you all, I guessed it. Your Void Cult is going to settle scores with Thanos."

"However, I only have some information about Thanos's whereabouts from half a month ago."

"I don't have any firsthand information about his exact location. Do you want to buy it?"

Upon hearing the information about Thanos, Huanxing pondered for a moment before speaking.

While firsthand intelligence is undoubtedly the most valuable, even slightly delayed information can fetch a considerable price.

Information related to Thanos, a top-tier powerhouse in the universe, can easily fetch a good price.

"What we had half a month ago was enough."

"How much does it cost?"

Lacey knew that in half a month, she could travel to very far places, but she still needed to gather information about where Thanos had been.

If the intelligence is useful, it can make their subsequent itinerary much simpler.

"It was only because your Void God Cult came to buy that I dared to sell Thanos's information."

"If it were anyone else, I wouldn't dare to say it even if I knew."

"Given that this is my first time making a deal with your Void God Cult."

"So I'll give you a 50% discount, so it'll only cost three million universe coins."

“I have a star map of his recent travels to various planets, but it may not be the most up-to-date.”

"However, I can guarantee the accuracy of the information."

"If I later find out that the information is false, I can return the money in full."

Huanxing knew that Lacey was there to buy information, not to steal it, so of course she couldn't offer it for free; at most, she could only reduce the price.

If you can simply waive fees just because someone is skilled, then you might as well quit doing this job.

Moreover, what he said wasn't just some professional jargon; it was intelligence about Thanos, and selling it was truly a matter of risking one's life.

"Okay, but have you found out any information about his upcoming actions?"

Lacey knew that information concerning the universe's top experts was generally quite expensive.

It was fine when Thanos was in high spirits and stayed on Titan, because he was easy to observe and there was no need to worry too much about him being purged after being sold.

So the price is relatively cheaper, but it still costs one or two million universe coins.

Thanos has now clearly begun his escape.

At times like these, news concerning his whereabouts becomes all the more precious.

If Thanos finds out that someone has sold out his whereabouts, he could return at any time during his escape to settle scores.

So if someone dares to sell firsthand information, they're really going all out.

“Miss Lacey, I know what you want to know.”

"I also really want more specific information about Thanos's whereabouts, so I can make more money."

"However, ever since Thanos's Black Order and his hundreds of thousands of subordinates all died at the hands of your Void God Cult."

Thanos originally had 100,000 subordinates, but now they have all gone their separate ways.

"He was left all alone and began his journey on the run."

"No one dared to talk to him easily, let alone find out his specific plans."

"However, if you are interested in knowing about some of his recent actions, I can tell you about them."

"Consider this a free bonus, as a way of thanking you two for sparing my life."

Upon hearing this, Huanxing gave a wry smile and explained what she knew, finally showing gratitude.

When dealing with important figures, the greatest favor one can receive is for them not to kill you.

If you want more or push your luck, then you're not doing business, you're courting death.

Having been an intelligence dealer for so many years, Huanxing knows what the rules are and when to quit while he's ahead, leaving some goodwill behind.

“We, the Void God Cult, are reasonable. You did not attack us first, so we have no reason to kill you.”

“Send us the star map, and then we can talk about Thanos’s recent situation and some of his actions.”

Seeing that Huanxing expressed gratitude to Bu Sha, Lacey explained earnestly and then directly asked Huanxing to deliver the goods.

When Huanxing saw Lacey say these words in such a serious tone, she wanted to complain but didn't dare to say it to her face.

The Void God Cult trying to reason? That might be the funniest joke he'd heard all year.

Don't you know the true reputation of the Void God Cult?

Will one not die if one doesn't offend the Void God Cult?

That was under normal circumstances. The Void Land didn't directly offend the Void God Cult, but the Collector still died, and the territory was lost.

Lady Butterfly, who was standing to the side, was speechless upon hearing Lacey's words.

As someone who was once threatened and later joined the Void God Cult, she has more authority than others to speak about the Void God Cult's terrifying and unreasonable aspects.

However, under normal circumstances, the Void God Cult is considered reasonable; at least they don't easily go back on their promises.

"Okay, cash on delivery."

Huanxing was speechless with frustration, but she still cooperated fully and released the payment code.

Lacey scanned it directly, entered three million cosmic coins, and the other party immediately began data interaction the moment the scan was completed.

"No one knows the specifics of Thanos, but most intelligence agents on the nearby planets have heard about his recent situation."

Do you drink alcohol?

When Huanxing saw that the money had arrived, he knew that Lacey had indeed come to buy information, and he relaxed a lot.

"I just had a drink on the warship, so I won't drink for now. You can continue your conversation."

Lacey politely declined.

"However, I specifically sought out some information from people who used to work under Thanos."

"According to him, they would have followed Thanos even if they had suffered heavy losses."

"Because they believed in Thanos's ideals."

"Thanos's ideal is really ridiculous. Even if half of the life in the universe is wiped out, it is impossible to make the universe a better place."

"Thanos's henchmen firmly believed in this ideal, but to us it was just a ridiculous fantasy."

"Even if Thanos manages to wipe out half of all life in the universe through some unknown means, there might be a brief period of peace within a few hundred years at most."

"As long as all life in the universe is not wiped out, reproduction will continue."

"As long as the universe continues to reproduce, the half of the life that died because of him will be able to recover in a few thousand years at most."

"It might not even take that long."

Huanxing's invitation to drink was rejected, but he didn't seem to mind. He simply poured himself a glass of wine, leaned back in his seat, took a small sip, and then slowly said...

"Thanos's ideal was nothing more than the empty talk of a complete idealist."

Lacey spoke up when she heard Phantom Star talking about Thanos's ideals.

The universe is so vast that resources will never be lacking.

If a civilization is experiencing a lack of resources, then the reason is not because the universe is too poor in resources.

Rather, it stems from a civilization's underdeveloped technology, where resources are monopolized by a very small number of people, leaving the majority unable to enjoy them.

The resources of the universe can be said to be infinite, because the universe is so vast. While habitable planets are not everywhere, they are never in short supply.

Even a civilization like the Xandar Empire, which is at the forefront of cosmic technology, has not dared to claim that it has explored enough of the universe.

However, a civilization's resources are limited. If a civilization's technology develops to a certain level but it is still unable to venture into the universe and connect with it, it may be unable to do so.
