Sentinel of American Comics - #433 - Chapter 428 Sky-high Bounty
Living in the universe, the concept of time is always blurred, especially in a chaotic place like the Void Land where day and night are reversed.
When Kirk sent the message, Sean was sitting in a casino in the residential area, enjoying a novel game.
On the wide metal table, there are rotating exhaust fans installed at both ends. From time to time, a creature called Oroni jumps out and chases and fights with each other on the platform, just like horse racing or dog fighting on Earth.
Those strange-looking alien creatures drank a strong blue drink, shouted loudly, and looked excited, creating a lively and fiery atmosphere in the entire casino.
Oronni looks like a giant mouse, with a row of sharp teeth. It runs on its two hind legs and bites its kind fiercely. The strongest Oronni wins the final victory. , this result made those punters excited.
Sean did not participate in it. He was just a bystander, leaning lazily on the bar and watching all this silently.
Observation was what he did most during his stay in the land of ignorance.
Oroni is a tenacious bottom creature in the universe, and it reproduces very quickly. It can survive even in extremely harsh environments, and then quickly form a population, so it is often caught for fun.
In fact, there used to be a special arena in Xuwu Land, which was the biggest hot business and was opened by Gao Tianzun, the brother of Tanya Difan.
Let those powerful life forms fight with the ferocious large beasts. This exciting viewing activity attracted many guests.
Those high-rollers of large caravans, governors and warlords of colonial planets are particularly fond of this. The annual battle for the strongest warriors is a rare and lively event in the universe.
Unfortunately, later on, human trafficking, slave keeping, and the confinement of biological freedom were all considered illegal—at least on the surface.
The three major empires passed relevant bills. Under pressure, Gao Tianzun had no choice but to close the arena and leave the land of ignorance. The bloody and real real-person fight turned into the current Oronni fight.
“When civilization develops to a certain stage, it will be covered with a bright and beautiful coat.”
This is Sean’s opinion.
The slave trade has been banned many times to this day. As one of the higher civilizations in the Kree Empire, many warlords have made their fortunes through this. Ronan’s family is one of them.
I don’t know how many alien races were trafficked to wild and backward resource planets and became lowly miners, engaged in high-intensity mining work day after day.
In the era of the big universe, the colonial trend that has arisen vigorously has no warmth at all.
When the seemingly beautiful veil is lifted, what is exposed is brutality and bloodshed.
This is also the reason why Sean wants to remove all obstacles and lead the earth into the sea of stars.
Even without the threat of Thanos, a civilization that has never been able to break away from its home star can at best become a tiny speck of dust in the background of the universe.
“After waiting for so many days, it’s finally here.”
Sean raised his hand and glanced, seeing a personal message coming from the smart terminal.
He told Cocteau to pay attention to the small spacecraft parked at the space port so that he could find traces of Star-Lord and his party.
Star-Lord, who escaped from Qien’s prison, will definitely come to the Land of Nothingness, because Sean received the news that collector Tanya Tifan secretly offered a sky-high bounty of 4 billion to acquire the cosmic spirit ball.
…………
At the space port, Star-Lord wearing a red leather jacket stepped off the spacecraft, followed by a strong green-skinned woman, a tree man and a raccoon, and a strong man with red lines all over his body.
They had just escaped from the tightly guarded Qien Prison and escaped from the Nova Corps in a spaceship. Gamora knew that the controller of the Difan Group, the famous collector, was willing to pay a sky-high reward to come. Get the cosmic spirit ball.
So Star-Lord and his team traveled across half of the galaxy, hoping to make a lot of money, go to a quiet and peaceful star field, and live a comfortable and luxurious life.
Of course, not everyone has this goal. The green-skinned woman Gamora wants to get rid of the control of her adoptive father Thanos. Especially when she learns that the other party may be extremely weak, she wants to escape immediately.
Thanos slaughtered half of the creatures on the planet Zelhouberry and trained her into an emotionless killing machine. At this time, Gamora just wanted to get rid of the dark past and start her life again.
The strong man, Drax the Destroyer, has a deep hatred that cannot be erased with Ronan, the governor of the Kree Empire. The other party killed his wife and daughter and destroyed his family.
As for Rocket Raccoon, Tree Man Groot, and Star-Lord Peter Quill who took the lead, they just wanted to make a fortune.
Each of the five people has their own purpose, because the cosmic spirit ball came together to form a temporary team.
“I said guys, we should think about it, four billion! I’ve never seen so much money in my life!”
The thin and lean Rocket Raccoon was chattering there, while the tree man shouted “I am Groot” in agreement.
“Go to the other side of the universe, buy a luxury spaceship, and enjoy fine wine and food every day. You will soon find that four billion may not satisfy you.”
Star-Lord shrugged. He was originally an Earthling who was taken away from his home planet by a spaceship when he was nine years old.
The leader of the raiders, Yondu Udonta, originally wanted to give him to someone, but after discovering that the cargo on this trip was a child, he couldn’t help but change his mind.
As a result, Peter Quill, who came from Earth, spent all day with a group of predators, as if he had entered a bandit’s den, and developed many bad habits.
When he got the cosmic spirit ball, he thought it was the remains of some super ancient civilization. However, he was later hunted down by Ronan’s men and was accidentally imprisoned in Qien Prison by the Nova Corps.
“Money is not important to me. I just want to kill Ronan and avenge my loved ones.”
Drax the Destroyer said dullly.
He escaped from Qian Prison and followed these unreliable guys just to use Ronan’s blood to wash away the pain of losing his wife and daughter.
“That’s just right. The three of us can share a little more.”
When Star-Lord heard what the other party said, a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
“I’m Groot!”
The tree man shouted dissatisfied.
“Okay, four people.”
Star-Lord reluctantly changed his tune.
He walked at the front of the team, passed through the underlying mining area, and entered the interior of the residential area.
Gamora contacted the collector, but as the controller of the Difan Group, the collector could not spare time for the time being, so he sent a representative to greet him.
“This is really disrespectful. We have crossed half of the galaxy, but he told us to wait.”
Drax the Destroyer muttered, but the others didn’t care much.
After all, as long as the sky-high price bounty of four billion is obtained, anything can be said.
