Chapter 653
"I am Groot?"
Groot, not looking very smart, confirmed with Rocket.
"That's right, hurry up and do something! Don't you see my belongings have been dismantled!" Rocket shook the half-gun in its hand.
"I am Groot!"
The simple tree-man, hearing this, immediately extended several branches and vines, binding them toward Alita—
"Too slow."
Alita just pushed off the ground with her feet and leaped backward lightly, dodging Groot's vines.
"Look at mine."
She rubbed her index finger against her thumb, striking a cluster of green flames, "Wood should be afraid of fire, right? And this isn't ordinary fire."
"I am Groot..." Groot, seeing this cluster of green flames, immediately retreated two steps in fear.
"No way... so timid..."
Seeing its shrinking eyes looking just like a child's, Alita lost interest and put her blade away, "Forget it~ I won't lower myself to your level."
"Hey! What about my gun?"
Rocket saw that Groot was no match either, and immediately became anxious, "You have to compensate me!"
Alita rolled her eyes at it and made a playful face, "I don't have a single cent; I'm a pauper~"
"No money? How is that possible! Compensate me with that blade of yours!" Rocket's sharp eyes immediately saw the extraordinary nature of Alita's weapon.
"If you keep pestering me, be careful or I'll pull all your fur out!"
Alita became a bit impatient, clenched her small fist at Rocket Raccoon, and made a fierce expression!
"I..." Rocket was about to say something else.
Beep~ beep~ beep~!
Its scanner, however, rang at this moment.
"Got a job!"
Rocket couldn't care about Alita anymore and hurriedly picked up the scanner to check—
Through the scanner, it discovered a man with naturally curly hair.
It was Star-Lord.
"Forty thousand bounty! I'm going to be rich!"
After seeing Star-Lord's bounty amount, Rocket Raccoon's small eyes turned green, and it grinned, revealing its small, sharp teeth, "Hahaha! I'm going to buy a small arsenal!"
"Let's go quickly..." Alita felt that alien creatures weren't very normal, tugged on Ye Li's sleeve, and wanted to go play somewhere else.
"Mm..." Ye Li nodded.
Although he knew Rocket Raccoon and Groot, the famous members of the Guardians of the Galaxy, he had no interest in dealing with them.
Coming to Xandar, besides wandering around, Ye Li's main purpose was to investigate the local customs and see if there was any possibility of spreading his divine name.
Of course, he didn't force it; he just went with the flow.
On the other side.
Star-Lord was tossing the Orb flamboyantly as he arrived at the broker's place to turn in the mission...
"The Orb, mission accomplished."
Bang~
The Orb was placed by Star-Lord on the table in front of the broker.
The old broker with a small goatee, however, asked him, "Where's Yondu?"
"He wanted to come in person, but now he can only send his regards."
Star-Lord didn't feel guilty at all, and even joked with the broker, "He also told me to tell you that your eyebrows are the coolest among your peers~"
The goatee broker rolled his eyes, too lazy to argue about his fashionable eyebrows, and instead picked up the Orb to fiddle with it in some strange way.
Star-Lord watched curiously, asking, "What are you doing?"
"Customer's request."
The goatee broker lifted his eyes, "And I cannot disclose the customer and their requirements."
"To get it, I went through life and death..."
Star-Lord nodded unhappily, saying sarcastically, "So I can't even know what it's used for; that's really nice."
"That's the risk of your line of work." The goatee broker, however, had no intention of revealing anything.
"Alright..."
Star-Lord asked again, "A woman with a mechanical head, claiming to be Luonan's subordinate, wanted to snatch the Orb from me; who are they?"
"Luonan?!"
Hearing this, the broker was shocked!
