"How much did he offer?" Jerry stretched out his hand and pushed away the dagger that Gamora was holding around his neck.
He got out of bed naturally and poured himself a glass of wine. It is a kind of low-alcohol wine with a pink color. It was a specifically made wine with ingredients from all over 250 planets and brewed with high-tech technology.
The value of each bottle is one million. After drinking it, there will be some special aftertaste. Jerry found a drink in the bar area while he was in the hotel. He only bought one and created more of them using his Transfiguration spell.
Therefore, it is easy for him to make money. He can make This one million-dollar wine into a lot at a minimum effort.
"Hey, my gun is still pointed at you!" Seeing that Jerry completely ignored him, Rocket Raccoon jumped onto the bed angrily and pointed the gun at Jerry's forehead.
Jerry looked at him and handed over the wine bottle in his hand, "I'm sorry, you look a bit like one of my favorite snack animal mascots when I was a kid, so it's hard to make me feel threatened. Do you want some?"
"Animal? Do you think I'm an animal? I hate people who say I'm an animal. You're laughing at me. I'm going to kill you now." He violently smashed the bottle to the ground, then turned off the safety of the gun and was about to shoot Jerry.
Seeing this, Star-Lord hurried forward and stopped Rocket Raccoon down, "Calm down, we haven't got the orb back. He's not laughing at you. He asked you if you wanted a drink."
"I'm sorry. I didn't intend to laugh at you. Oh, the bottle you just broke is a wine that's worth one million units." Jerry drank the wine in his glass in one gulp and shrugged.
"One million?!" Star-Lord and Rocket looked at the pink liquid flowing on the ground.
The Ravagers were paid millions to do some big missions, but knowing that their members were a lot, they had to split it equally. Most of the time, they got only thousands of units individually. This is also one of the reasons why Star-Lord left and did his work solo.
Rocket and Groot dared to use weapons to capture Star-Lord before because his bounty was 40.000 units. It can be seen that tens of thousands of units is not a small amount for them.
Just now, Rocket smashed a bottle of wine worth a million on the ground.
"Don't worry about it. I've already contacted the buyer. As long we get the orb back, we can get four billion. If we split it three-way, each of us will have more than a billion."
"No, split it four ways for Groot." Rocket corrected her and pointed the gun at Jerry again.
Drax just wanted to seek revenge on Ronan for his wife and children so he wasn't counted.
"Mr. Carmen, you heard that the new buyer is willing to bid 4 billion. Hurry up and hand over the orb now." Star-Lord came back to his senses and extended his hand to Jerry.
Jerry looked at Star-Lord, Rocket, and Gamora and smiled, "How about this? I'll pay you guys 4 billion right now, and If you guys can do me a favor, I can give you another 1 billion."
Hearing Jerry's offer, Star-Lord, Rocket, and Gamora's eyes widened at the same time. They were confused as to why so many people were interested in this small iron ball.
"How can we believe that you have that amount of money?" Gamora was the first to react and asked cautiously.
The buyer she contacted was a famous collector, Taneleer Tivan. Who resides in Knowhere and definitely had a lot of money to pay for 4 billion. But this person in front of them doesn't seem like someone with much money.
Although he stays in this hotel and drinks a million-dollar wine, that doesn't prove that he has the wealth to spend 4 billion on them. After all, it is impossible for her not to know about someone who can easily have so much wealth.
Jerry glanced at the three of them, then snapped his fingers gently. In an instant, three black shadows rushed out of the ground and tied all three of them together.
"Just because I don't want to give you back the orb doesn't mean you can get it back."
----
Ten minutes later, Jerry conjured a bottle of the same wine out of thin air and poured a glass for Star-Lord, Gamora, and Rocket, who had been released from the, "So, you three now are wanted criminals? "
"Yes, five, to be exact. Groot and Drax are hiding in the spaceship outside Xandar, and we snuck in here." Star-Lord explained.
It turned out that after being easily brought down by Jerry, Star-Lord, Gamora, and Rocket knew that Jerry's statement that he would give them five billion was most likely true. Otherwise, he can knock them down the moment they break into the room and then send them to prison again.
Of course, the most important thing is that they have to believe it. Because the orb is in Jerry's hands, they can't go to Knowhere to sell it for four billion if they can't get it.
Therefore, the three told Jerry about their situation.
Star-Lord is from Earth, and Jerry is the same as him. When he was a child, he was secretly taken from Earth by the Ravagers and became one of them. He has escaped them and currently working alone.
Rocket and Groot used to be cellmates. After a successful escape from prison, they became bounty hunters and did bounties to make a living.
Gamora is different. She is Thanos' adopted daughter. Since she was a child, she was adopted by Thanos and trained as an assassin to do missions. Later, she was sent by Thanos to assist Ronan the Accuser to find the orb.
It's just that Gamora's parents were killed by Thanos, and half of the people of Zen-Whoberi, where she was born, died at the hands of Thanos' army. She hated Thanos very much in her heart because of this.
She wants to acquire wealth by selling the orb, completely get rid of Thanos and Ronan the Accuser, and live her own life peacefully.

Just when Jerry and Star-Lord talk in the hotel room, far away from Xandar, the Kyln prison is captured by a Kree-style ship ten times larger than the prison.
Inside the prison, Thanos' other adopted daughter, Nebula, let go of the half-dead warden who was beaten and reported to Ronan the Accuser, who was standing in the uppermost corridor of the prison.
"They don't know where Gamora and others went. The Nova Corps has sent a fleet to come here. What should I do now?"
"Retreat and dispatch several ships to patrol nearby to find the orb at all costs." Ronan was holding his weapon. He squinted and obviously a little dissatisfied with the result he got now.
Nebula looked at him and asked, "But there are people left."
"Kill everyone and blow the entire prison to smithereens. We cannot let Nova Corps know that the purpose of our coming here is to find them and the orb."
Ronan waved his weapon, which is in the shape of a hammer, and a shock wave flew out and hit the warden, who instantly turned into a puddle of flesh. His parents and brothers all died in the war with the Xandars. As long as they were Xandarians, he would not let them go, whether it was an old man or a child.
His wish in life is to destroy the Xandar and kill all Xandarians. Only in this way can he avenge his lost relatives. However, the Supreme Intelligence reached a peace agreement with Nova Corps, which he absolutely cannot tolerate.
He led all of his subordinates who had the same philosophy as him to ignore the orders of the Supreme Intelligence to leave the Kree Empire and cooperated with Thanos because Thanos promised him that as long as he found the orb, he could dispatch a fleet to help him destroy Xandar.
He has long known that what's inside the orb is the Power Stone, and he also knows what kind of power it has. His cooperation with Thanos is just something he wants to use.
When he really finds the orb, he will use the Power Stone to directly destroy Xandar, then dominate the Kree Empire, kill Thanos, and become the real king in the universe.
----
"You say someone named Ronan and his army is also looking for the orb?" Inside the hotel room, Jerry had a surprised look on his face as he listened to Gamora about the situation.
A few days ago, he saw the news about someone named Ronan on the news. He seemed to be a war fanatic who did not accept the peace agreement. He often led his army to attack the colonial planets guarded by the Nova Corps.
Gamora nodded, "I don't know why you are willing to spend so much money on the orb, and I don't know what's inside it. But I'm sure it should be a very dangerous weapon because Thanos and Ronan want it. I advise you to be more careful in the future, and it's best for you not to leave Xandar because the Nova Corps will protect you." She knew what Thanos and Ronan could do and reminded him.
"Okay, thanks for the reminder." Jerry smiled and nodded.
There is no doubt about the strength of Thanos, Ronan, and their legion, but he is not a soft persimmon, not to mention that he can destroy each other, but life-saving is still not a problem.
If it were just Ronan, then it wouldn't be a problem. After all, hearing Ronan's description from Gamora, his strength should be lower than Thanos'.
"Mr. Carmen, what is the job you said before?" At this time, Star-Lord asked.
He wanted to earn that money. After all, the amount was enough for him to enjoy everything in life. So, of course, he was very interested in the one billion units favor Jerry mentioned before.
"Oh, I need someone to find me a planet with intelligence, preferably one that looks similar to us, and their civilization level is around the Middle Ages. Star-Lord, you're from Earth, right? You should know what Middle Ages looked like." Jerry explained.
"Wait, you came from Earth and not an Asgardian?" A surprised look appeared on Star-Lord's face.
He learned from the market that Jerry was an Asgardian who entered Xandar in an Asgard-style spaceship. Jerry also subdued them with magic. It is said that only Asgard could do magic. But now he said that Jerry came from the same place as him.
"Quill, didn't you say that Asgardians have tentacles and teeth like needles on their heads? He obviously doesn't have them. How can he be from Asgard?"
Rocket held his glass of wine and said suspiciously. When they escaped from the prison together, he bragged to Drax, and he had a relationship with Asgardian girls with tentacles and needle-like teeth.
"I'm from Earth but have a good relationship with Asgard. Asgardians and people from Earth are pretty much the same, but they don't have tentacles on their heads, and they don't have needle-like teeth."
"Maybe I remembered it wrong." He spoke with an embarrassed expression.
Gamora couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
"Okay, back to the topic. If you can help me find that kind of planet, you guys will get one billion units."
An ex Ravagers member, a bounty hunter, and the adopted daughter of Thanos are here. With their identities and experiences, they should be able to help him quickly find a planet that suits him.
For Jerry, a billion is a just number. He doesn't care much about money, and it saved him a lot of time."
"I know that there is a planet that may meet your requirements. But that was three years ago, and now I don't know if it still exists."
Every time Thanos' army finds a planet, they will destroy half of the population on it before leaving. Gamora has followed Thanos for a long time, and there are indeed one or two planets that meet the conditions that Jerry said.
It's just that the planet was discovered three years ago, and now she doesn't know what it is like at this current time.
