Time slowly passed as Michael and the Quill family conversed intentionally.
As time went on, Old Quill's family members also returned home one after another, either preparing for the evening party or chatting with Michael; everything seemed warm and harmonious.
Honestly, Michael hadn't experienced such a harmonious family atmosphere in many years.
Without schemes or external pressure, everything felt inexplicably relaxed and wonderful.
For a moment, Michael even felt a surge of joy in his heart... "Oh, right."
"We've been chatting for so long."
"I haven't asked you what you do yet."
During their casual chat, Star-Lord's grandmother suddenly asked.
"Ah."
"Didn't I say?"
"I'm truly sorry."
Michael pretended to be stunned for a moment, then feigned an apologetic smile.
It was clear that even though Michael had sold a top-notch classic car to Old Quill, Star-Lord's grandmother still harbored a hint of wariness towards Michael.
Perhaps it wasn't wariness, but she wouldn't completely trust Michael either.
"My family owns a company."
"I'm not very clear about what it specifically does, but it seems to have connections with various industries..."
"My family's business is theirs; I hope to build my own career."
"So, I haven't paid much attention to family matters."
"My family's Old Man doesn't understand what young people like; that classic car was my coming-of-age gift."
"My original plan was... to go to the East Coast, sell this classic car, and then use that money to start my own venture."
Michael had his own methods for who to talk to, what to talk about, and how to talk about it.
For people like Old Quill, a young man with personality who is also ambitious would naturally be more favored by them.
It's just making things up, and I, Michael, don't even need peanuts; I can give you endless, unique stories! In fact, even if someone were to investigate, Michael could instantly 'materialize' all his boasts, leaving no flaws whatsoever.
Absolutely perfect! "Wow!"
"It seems we'll be calling you boss soon, then!"
"Hahaha!"
Indeed, Old Quill and Star-Lord's grandmother were all smiles, and even Mei Quill and her siblings-in-law laughed.
Even the confused Star-Lord was infected and started laughing 'hehehe'...
He hadn't expected Ego to withdraw so cleanly. There was no trace of Ego within Mei Quill.
Could this have something to do with Ancient One and Odin?
Old Quill's family, who were chatting and laughing with Michael on the surface, probably had no idea.
While he was chatting with them, Michael also unleashed his Domain Power, meticulously scanning Mei Quill from head to toe, inside and out, over a dozen times!
Why could Michael chat with Old Quill's family for so long? Was it because Michael wanted to live such a chitchatting life? Nonsense!
Although such casual chat was indeed quite pleasant, Michael, whose mind had long been forged to be incredibly firm, would not linger on this.
From beginning to end, Michael came for two people.
One was Star-Lord, and the other, naturally, was Star-Lord's mother, Mei Quill.
Star-Lord has God bloodline within him, and Michael naturally had to understand it well. Michael was even thinking about whether to abduct this guy to his Base.
Mei Quill, as someone who combined with a planet and bore a child, also greatly interested Michael. Of course, it wasn't an interest of a romantic nature.
Rather, did combining with a planet cause any changes to her body? Or did Ego, that... planet, alter Mei's life level? Or, did Ego, that... planet, hide some means within Mei Quill's body?
Just like the 'Star-Devouring Seed,' if Michael hadn't inadvertently scanned it, who would have known such a thing was lurking on Earth?
No one could say for sure that there wouldn't be some hidden move left by Ego within Mei Quill's body.
If Ego had intentionally hidden it, Michael wouldn't have been able to discover it with a casual scan.
This would certainly require Michael to perform a close-range, detailed scan and search!
Of course, while he was at it, Michael also removed the tumor from Mei Quill's brain.
After all, she had served as a guinea pig, though she herself didn't know it.
