"Hey, kid, I heard you were caught and imprisoned in Kyln Prison, then escaped. Looks like you have good luck.
Why was there a bounty of ten million on you before? Was it because you flirted with some Duke's wife again, like last time…?"
Listening to the virtual projection of Yondu expose his past misdeeds, Star-Lord quickly glanced at Gamora, who was rolling her eyes, and loudly interrupted:
"Yondu, what are you talking about? I never flirted with any Duke's wife! Those were all misunderstandings, misunderstandings!"
"Misunderstandings? How many times have you done something like this? And wasn't it always me who cleaned up your mess?
Stop talking nonsense, come back to me quickly. We have another mission to do soon."
Yondu couldn't help but laugh in exasperation.
He had raised Star-Lord for twenty years; he knew what Star-Lord was up to just by looking at his backside. With Star-Lord's audacious personality, let alone flirting with a Duke's wife, if Nova Prime were younger and prettier, he'd dare to hit on her if he met her on the street.
"Alright, alright, where are you guys now? I'll come find you."
Seeing that if he continued, all his dirty laundry would be exposed in front of the goddess, Star-Lord immediately changed the subject and got straight to the point.
Originally, the purpose of this communication with Yondu was to ask for his current location and then go find him to clarify if everything was as Adam said.
If everything was true, then it was to find out the interstellar coordinates of Ego Planet and avenge his mother.
"We just arrived at Contraxia and plan to stay here for three days to rest. You can come find us here!"
After Yondu finished speaking, he ended the call.
However, after ending the communication, he couldn't help but murmur to himself:
"This kid, why is he so obedient this time? It's not like his style. Did he get into some trouble again?"
"I told you, Yondu is most likely on Contraxia."
Here, Star-Lord saw the communication end and turned to Adam, who was sitting there drinking tea, shrugging his shoulders.
Adam nodded and gestured to Orion, who immediately adjusted the spaceship's direction and flew towards Contraxia.
"I need to Training. You guys get along well!"
It would take two days for the spaceship to fly to Contraxia, and he couldn't waste time. He still needed to continue improving his combat power.
Occasional rest was fine, but he couldn't rest all the time. Earth still had the Celestials waiting for him to deal with.
After Adam left, the group immediately huddled together and began discussing in hushed tones.
And the center of their discussion, of course, was Adam.
Currently, except for the simple-minded Drax, who was devoted to Adam because Adam helped him avenge his deep blood feud, the others did not fully trust Adam.
Gamora and Nebula grew up under Thanos's tutelage; their life experiences were too cruel. How could they establish trust with someone they had only known for two days?
Especially since they were forcibly captured and compelled to stay here.
Star-Lord, needless to say, as a thief raised by the Raiders, lying was practically an instinct. Deep down, he didn't actually believe what Adam said about his origins as much as he appeared to.
However, if everything was true, then in the end, he would definitely be very grateful to Adam.
As for Rocket Raccoon and Treant Groot, Groot always listened to Rocket. Rocket was cunning and shrewd, and currently only wanted to get the two hundred million reward. He was skeptical of everything Adam said.
"You mean he's from Earth, and he's an Earthling like you?"
Gamora crossed her arms, a thoughtful expression on her face.
Star-Lord nodded:
"That's right, that's what he told me. But I actually don't believe he's an Earthling. You don't know, besides him just breathing fire and evaporating the sea, he also completely destroyed a medium-sized asteroid belt before."
"Destroyed a medium-sized asteroid belt? Are you sure you're not exaggerating?"
Nebula looked at Star-Lord with suspicion.
What was a medium-sized asteroid belt?
It was an asteroid belt that even Thanos's fleet had to avoid. The largest asteroids inside were already half the size of Morag.
If Adam could destroy a medium-sized asteroid belt, wouldn't that mean he could easily destroy a Planet?
That would be too terrifying.
"He didn't exaggerate that point, because we saw it with our own eyes.
So I suggest you don't have any other ideas, or you'll really die terribly.
Also, I really think your father can't beat him!"
Rocket, sitting on Groot's shoulder, reminded them.
He didn't want this mission to have problems because of these people's recklessness, because that would mean his two hundred million reward might be gone.
Hearing Rocket's words, Gamora's eyes immediately lit up:
"Say it again, he's my adoptive father. If he can really kill Thanos, then I will cooperate fully and thank him myself!"
To be honest, she really hoped that everything Rocket said was true, because that would mean the nightmare that lingered in her heart could finally be dispelled.
"How would you thank him?"
Rocket asked with interest.
This question made Gamora pause, because she realized it was indeed a problem.
In terms of strength, Adam was much stronger than her. In terms of money, being able to casually throw out hundreds of millions, Adam clearly wasn't short on cash.
"I could help him gather intelligence. My intelligence-gathering abilities are among the best in the Universe."
"That's not difficult. You can have children for him! On our Planet, the way women thank men is by having a bunch of children for them."
At this moment, Drax, who had already washed off the blood, spoke up.
"My father saved my mother, so my mother gave birth to ten children for him. Unfortunately, only I am left now; everyone else was killed by Ronan.
I remember every winter solstice, my father would describe to us how he made my mom give birth to us. He said he liked to be on top."
"Oh, enough, Drax! You can't describe such things when there are women present; it's really disgusting!
Also, there are many ways to express gratitude. We are all civilized people; we don't need to use such primitive methods to show thanks."
Hearing Drax's words, Star-Lord immediately jumped up.
Drax, however, was full of confusion:
"Why? This is very normal on our Planet. Peter, do you have some kind of emotional disorder?"
"I… fine, I'm too lazy to explain. You really don't know how to think outside the box!"
Facing the earnest Drax, Star-Lord was too lazy to explain anymore. He felt it was just a waste of time.
And Drax's next words confirmed the correctness of his decision.
"Nothing can get past my brain. My reactions are very fast. Don't think you can escape my grasp."
"People from their Planet are just like that. They don't understand what metaphors are."
Rocket over there was already laughing hysterically.
"I'd rather die than be with the most idiotic group of people in the Universe."
Gamora's mouth twitched slightly.
