Chapter 4024

Centauri, a planet known as Obsidian 6, is one of the planets in the Alpha-12 binary star system, and also the most famous interstellar pirate den in the universe. The lair of the famous "Ravagers" is on this planet.

"Yondu! Yondu!!!" A figure broke into the Ravagers' stronghold carelessly, kicked open the wooden fence door, and shouted inside, "Big business!!!"

Yondu, who was drunk the night before, walked out swaying, narrowed his eyes, and looked toward the door. When he saw the person coming, he was stunned for a moment, but immediately raised the weapon in his hand.

"Hey! Hey! It's me!" The person hurriedly raised his hands and said, "Don't you recognize me? I'm Star-Lord!"

"Star-Lord?" Yondu snorted coldly, whistled, and the Yaka Arrow flew over and hovered in mid-air. He kicked open the door, walked out, and said, "Star-Lord already returned to Earth, and even warned me that if anyone came to find me at this time, they must be an impostor."

"Oh, alright. However, I'm not considered an impostor, just a Star-Lord from another universe. And I came here to talk business with you; are you interested in listening?"

"What kind of business could you have?" Yondu sneered, but still beckoned to him. Star-Lord followed him into the room.

"You know they're fighting in the Triangulum Galaxy, right?" Star-Lord didn't hide anything either, saying straight to the point, "We were captured by Batman before, but I thought of a way to escape. You could say I'm the person who knows Apokolips best."

"So what? You want me to deal with that planet?"

"Of course not. The guy who rules Apokolips looks very difficult to deal with. But precisely because of this, the superheroes on our side can't get any good in their hands."

Yondu sat down in a big-boss style, put his hands on the armrests of the chair, narrowed his eyes, stared at Star-Lord, and said: "What do you mean?"

"Batman found quite a few helpers in the universe, such as the Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire, and also Thanos. They didn't find you, either because they don't understand, or don't want to be associated with interstellar pirates. But the Avengers don't have this concern; why not cooperate with them?"

"You think war is playing house." Yondu picked up a bottle of wine from the side and poured it into his mouth, then said, "We are just a group of pirates, robbing houses and looting in peaceful times, occasionally doing some petty theft work; participating in cosmic war, are you tired of living?"

"Participating head-on is definitely not okay; your manpower can't afford consumption. However, doing some other work is fine. You say, after the heroes on our side suffered a big loss, will they be urgently wanting to improve their strength?"

"You mean..."

"If I remember correctly, the Infinity Stones in this universe should still be scattered all over the universe, right? As long as you can find the Infinity Stones and create the Infinity Gauntlet, that is a power sufficient to reverse the battle situation. No matter which world's heroes they are, they will want it. If you can get a stone, you will make a fortune."

Yondu didn't reply immediately; he was just thinking about these things Star-Lord said. The movement in the Triangulum Galaxy was so big, it's impossible for their well-informed interstellar pirates not to have heard of it. And his adopted son, Peter Quill from the central universe, also revealed some things about the war to him.

However, the Star-Lord from the central universe didn't hope for them to participate in it, because although interstellar pirates are rampant in the universe, that is actually just because no one really cares about them.

The Ravagers led by Yondu can also be considered to have a code of conduct, basically not doing things that are harmful to heaven and reason, most of the time just robbing cargo ships, and never doing things to the extreme, just taking some goods and leaving. Occasionally, they will cooperate with those interstellar civilizations to help them do some shady smuggling work, and they have good cooperative partners in various star systems, and their life is also very comfortable.

But with their few people, participating in cosmic war, calling them cannon fodder is a bit of a compliment. Cannon fodder at least needs to have a quantity; they have a total of a few ships, a few hundred people, and quite a few scattered in various star systems to keep an eye on things. Such a configuration thrown into which battlefield is a force that can be completely ignored.

But to say Yondu is not greedy, that's impossible. He is used to fishing in troubled waters, so naturally he knows how much oil and water there is in this kind of thing. Even if it's running errands or selling intelligence, it's definitely a huge profit. That group of superheroes is rich, so they won't be stingy with this little money.

But for no reason, he couldn't get on the line with either side. If he went to find the Marvel heroes to cooperate, he would definitely be known by his adopted son. By then, not only would the cooperation fail, but Yondu might not be able to argue with him, so there was no need to touch such a bad luck.

Since selling intelligence to both sides doesn't work, then exchanging for some valuable things seems to be the only way out. Although the two sides fighting don't lack mineral resources, there are some very rare treasures that they still can't get.

And Yondu is different. Don't look at him just doing robbing work on weekdays, but because he has been in the universe for too long, he knows clearly where there are good things. Even the Infinity Stones, which are known as powerful and unparalleled, he has some ways. If he can really get one, then the price is not up to him to open?

Although it's an acquaintance of his adopted son, it's not good to open a lion's mouth, but after all, it's wartime, the situation is urgent, asking for an expedited delivery fee is not too much, right?

Moreover, Yondu also has some simple cosmic feelings; he doesn't want those outsiders to win either. If he can help the Avengers find the Infinity Stones, not only can he make a fortune, but he can also beat those outsiders to a pulp, letting them know that their universe is not to be bullied, isn't that a win-win?

Thinking about it, Yondu was a bit moved. He looked at Star-Lord and said: "Are you sure the Infinity Stones are useful?"

"This depends on your understanding of the Infinity Stones." Star-Lord hugged his arms, stretched out a foot and tapped on the ground, then said, "If they are really as powerful as the legend says, then the two sides will definitely fight for them; if it's an exaggeration, then I'm afraid you're going to lose money."

Yondu supported his knees and stood up, began to pace in the room, and said: "Most of the legends about the Infinity Stones are groundless. There was a period of time when the legend of the Master of the Universe was very popular, saying that whoever collects the Infinity Stones can become the master of the universe; it's pure bullshit."

"However, this thing must be a bit evil. Before the first intelligent life appeared in the universe, they had already appeared, and for trillions of years, they have been fought over by countless races. Among the famous civilizations in the universe, there is history about these stones. I also heard that those mysterious existences in the universe are also very wary of these stones, and even personally arranged their whereabouts."

"It seems you are sure you can get one or two?"

"I won't hide it from you, I do have some clues here." Yondu shook his head and said, and then he looked up at Star-Lord and continued, "You came to find me, are you trying to partner with me?"

"That's right, I know that the members who are permanently stationed at the Ravagers headquarters are not many, and most of them have very important responsibilities and can't leave for a while. And you, the captain, have to sit in the headquarters at all times and cannot leave easily. But the Guardians of the Galaxy can come and go freely. You provide the clues, I provide the manpower, and we split the money we get in half."

Yondu sneered and said: "You are not from this universe; the so-called fat water doesn't flow to outsiders' fields, why don't I find my own biological son?"

"Since he is not here with you, it proves that he doesn't support you participating in the war. If you find him, he will definitely report you first, right?"

"Then I don't necessarily have to find you. After all, quite a few people have come from various universes, and there are other Guardians of the Galaxy. I don't necessarily have to find the Guardians of the Galaxy; there are quite a few who are stronger than you."

"Forget it, if they could look up to a group of pirates, they would have come to find you to cooperate long ago. Batman has turned the entire universe against him, I'm afraid he didn't even look at you here."

"That's because he has no eyes!" Yondu was a bit exasperated; he couldn't tolerate others saying the Ravagers were bad.

"Alright, alright." Star-Lord waved his hand and said, "I know, you are also afraid that I will run away with the clues. It just so happens that my spaceship was detained by Batman, and now I don't know where it is. You provide us with a spaceship; the Ravagers' spaceships all have restriction agreements. Without a spaceship, we can't run anywhere, how about it?"

"The plan is not bad, the only problem is..." Yondu suddenly stopped his steps, turned his head to look at Star-Lord, whistled lightly, and the sharp blade was placed on Star-Lord's neck.

"Such a good plan, how could it be thought of by a fool like you? Speak, who instructed you."

Star-Lord swallowed, a flash of panic in his eyes, but he quickly calmed down and said: "Don't underestimate me too much."

"If you were really capable, you wouldn't have been caught by Batman." Yondu stared at his face, seemingly weighing it. After a while, he put away his sword and said, "Forget it, having a powerful figure teaching you behind your back can also make the plan go more smoothly. No matter what you want to use me for, as long as I can get reasonable compensation, I have no opinion."

"Then we have a deal?"

"Don't be in a hurry, the clues about the Infinity Stones are not that simple. Quite a few people know where this thing is, but no one has been able to get their hands on it, naturally because the current owner of the stone is not easy to mess with. We have to discuss it from a long-term perspective."

Half an hour later, Star-Lord walked out of the Ravagers' stronghold gate, holding the key to the spaceship in his hand, looked left and right, came to a shadow where no one was, and then whispered: "I've done what I promised you, we are even."

"Don't be in a hurry." The shadow with long double horns dragged longer and longer on the dry sand, "You haven't finished the work yet."

Star-Lord felt a bit dry in his mouth, gritted his teeth and said: "You don't really want me to go find the Infinity Stones, do you? I can't beat that group of people!"

The demonic whisper echoed in his ear: "Now, the Avengers have suffered heavy losses. If you go back and run into the muzzle, they will only blame you for being so careless as to be caught by Batman, and might even suspect whether you sold intelligence in prison, leading to their disastrous defeat."

"The Avengers are not that kind of people." Star-Lord said.

"When they are rational, they are of course willing to appear tolerant and generous. But this loss completely exceeded the range they can accept. Seeing their closest comrades die in front of them, how many people are willing to accept that this is their own fault? If they don't accept it, who else can they push the responsibility to?"

Star-Lord tightly pursed his lips and said: "Even if I don't go back, I don't necessarily have to do things for you; I can just find a place to hide."

"Is that so? Can you really swallow the breath of being caught by Batman? If you have been doing nothing, then the entire universe's impression of you will always be fixed on 'that Guardians of the Galaxy who was captured as soon as the fighting started'. Are you really willing to accept such a title?"

"Think about your teammates, Peter, although they are not Earthlings, they are also famous in the universe. Can they really accept being beaten unilaterally without fighting back, and after being hit on the left cheek, extending the right cheek?"

Star-Lord took a deep breath and said: "Even if I am willing to go, I can't handle the owner of the Infinity Stones."

"Don't I still have you? I will help you."
