Before returning, the worst outcome Dio had imagined was that someone in the Bounty Hunter Guild was in collusion with the quest issuer behind the scenes, and there was some hidden conspiracy involved.
But at the moment it seems that he was overthinking it. Of course, it is also possible that the Nova branch director was acting for him.
There is no need to say more, just wait for the final result and you will know the truth.
Dio, who didn't want to make a big deal about this for the time being, took the red rose and left the union directly. At this moment, his communicator suddenly rang.
"Report to the commander, we have found traces of the Zehouberi people!"
Zehouberi
Dio was stunned for a moment, then saw the photo sent by the dark elf.
Gamora!
Thanos' adopted daughter!
With this green skin and this look, there’s nothing wrong with it.
Dio once described the characteristics of several members of the Galaxy Audition to the dark elves under his command. They also found a lot of information through big data comparison, and then lurked around the broker as ordered.
After this period of time, I finally reaped the rewards!
Since Gamora has already run to the broker to ambush in advance, it means that Star-Lord has still snatched the Orb and is ready to abandon Yondu and collect the bounty himself.
So Dio immediately opened the dark web and started searching for the latest wanted posters. After just a few flips, he found the target he was looking for!
Peter Quill, nicknamed Star-Lord.
Status: Wanted.
The bounty is 40,000 star coins.
Posted by: Plunderer Yondu.
Mission requirements: alive.
Sure enough, this plot is about to begin!
Dio decided to find a place to stay nearby for the next few days, and by the way, give the "famous" Star-Lord a surprise. God knows how many people were so angry when they watched Avengers 3 that one punch made them want to get into the big screen and kill him!
Unfortunately, Dior is one of them!
So someone is going to be in trouble!
Next, Dio purchased some fuel and supplies and asked Red Rose to send them back alone, while he himself chose to stay.
These few days are just the right time for everyone to rest and repair the damaged parts of the warship, and do a comprehensive inspection just in case.
. . . . . . . . . .
The next day, the dark elves scattered around sent another message, saying that they had found the traces of Rocket Raccoon and Groot, but they waited for a whole day but did not see the real ones appear.
It was not until the third day that a farce in the city center officially opened the curtain of this drama.
"Hey, Star-Lord?"
Peter Quill, who was humming a tune and preparing to go in to hand in a task, looked at the man leaning against the wall with a puzzled look.
"Have we met before?"
"I've seen you many times, but you haven't seen me." Dio leaned against the wall, chewing on a strange fruit, and said meaningfully.
"Oh, okay, listen, if you want my autograph, it's not impossible. I'll fulfill your wish after I finish my business. Of course, if you are willing to buy me a drink, I can also take a photo with you, but only one!"
Dio finished the fruit in his hand in a few bites while listening to this guy's nonsense, then clapped his hands and said, "For the sake of 40,000 star coins, I'll give you a chance to choose. Number 1, number 2, number 3, pick one?"
"Oh, is that a surprise event? Then I choose... Number 4!" Peter Quill took out his weapon and wanted to strike first before he finished speaking.
However, Dio is still faster!
“Uh uh uh uh uh… ..”
The powerful electric current of [Spicy Chili Pepper] enveloped him instantly, and Star-Lord immediately began to shiver. The gun and the Cosmic Orb in his hand all fell to the ground. After being knocked unconscious by the electric current, Dio took out a small battery, and [Spicy Chili Pepper] immediately assimilated Star-Lord into electric current and drilled into it.
Then Dio casually put away the battery, bent down to pick up the Cosmic Orb and the gun, and before Gamora, Rocket Raccoon, Groot and others arrived, he leisurely walked into the broker's shop.
"Mr. Kira Yoshikage?"
The broker was a little surprised when he saw the visitor, but he felt a little more expectant in his heart. In his opinion, Kira Yoshikage was not the kind of person who would come to him for no reason.
"The Cosmic Spirit Sphere you want."
"It seems my judgment is correct. You are an excellent bounty hunter. How do you want to pay me?"
The broker determined the task item in almost no time, then looked at him deeply and said.
"Cash." This time, Dio chose a payment method that was more popular among his peers. Since he was ready to trick this unscrupulous businessman once, he naturally couldn't leave any handle.
The broker was not surprised by his choice, as almost nine out of ten people who came to him wanted cash.
Soon he placed ten yellow "copper pieces" on the table. This unknown special metal was the so-called cash, each piece represented ten thousand star coins. In addition, there were black ones representing one hundred thousand star coins and so on.
Dio put away the 100,000 star coins, and then pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "Compared with the danger of this mission, don't you think the reward of 100,000 star coins is a bit too little?"
However, the broker disagreed after hearing this and said, "That's the risk of doing your business, isn't it?"
That sounds nice, so don't blame me if that's the case.
"Okay, you're right, but there's one thing that really concerns me. When I got this thing, a few guys who claimed to be Ronan's men suddenly showed up and tried to snatch the Cosmic Spirit Orb. Fortunately, I ran fast and managed to get rid of them."
"Ronan!? Oh, sorry! Mr. Kira Yoshikage, I'm so sorry! I won't get involved in any deal involving Ronan!"
The broker suddenly became extremely excited. He not only came out from behind the counter, but also stuffed the Cosmic Spirit Orb back to Dio.
"Who is Ronan?" Dio asked pretending to be ignorant.
"A lunatic from the Kree, angered by the peace treaty! He will not rest until the Xandar civilization, my civilization, is completely wiped out! I can't afford to offend someone like him, please take this thing and leave now, the farther the better!"
The broker has proved one thing with his actions: although money is important, it is far less important than his own life, not to mention that he might even have to sacrifice an entire planet for it.
"So, you don't want to accept this thing? Do you remember your promise? There has never been anything you dare not accept." Dio probably provoked him.
"No, your mission has been completed. I won't ask for your reward, but you can take the thing. I don't want it!" The broker was a little anxious. Fearing that he would get into trouble, he accepted the loss in this deal!
Seeing him like this, Dio was really happy.
