"You very well know what I showed there is true. If you don't want a public shaming then I would advise not to make any rash decision. Your empire can't even deal with Ronan, forget about dealing with me. So don't try to flaunt your power in front of me." John said.
The Nova prime and others were really scared by this sudden unconsciousness of the guards and the emergence of Sasuke out of thin air with Baldo.
"Mr. Jameson will you please calm down? We really didn't know anything about Baldo. Can you let us go through the data provided by Mr. Stone. I can promise you that a fair trial will be provided." the nova prime said.
The other council didn't even let out a single tone from their mouth. They were really scared as they didn't understand how Sasuke arrived and how all the guards just fell asleep in their places. The Nova Corps had informed before of unconsciousness of the corps but they just thought the enemy used some kind of tranquilizer that could be administered through air.
But they understood that they were wrong. Very much wrong. They still weren't sure how the guards became unconscious while they were fine. This made them fear John more.
"Sasuke leave the body of Baldo here. You all have 48 hours to deal with this. I will release all the data if everything isn't done. Since you have pointed the guns at me, let me point my gun at you." John said.
John wanted them to fear him mainly because of the fact that he wouldn't be in Xandar for most of the time. He needed to have everyone in line. In Earth it was different here, but here he could show his own arrogance as the universe was more chaotic as only strength ruled over everything.
The council members understood that they would have to remedy the situation fast or else the people's trust in Nova would be shaken and that would be detrimental specially at a time when Ronan had started giving them problems.
"We will give you a satisfactory explanation in less than that Mr. Jameson."
Sasuke vanished after leaving the body while John and others left by the front door. The council members finally sighed in relief after John left. They now understood that John was very tough nut and he would be almost impossible to crack him. Just the mere power he had shown just now had shaken their beliefs.
As expected, the data was again assessed by the crime department and every wrong dealings of Baldo came to light. Even though the council members had a vague idea that Baldo was having some connections with the criminal underworld they didn't expect it to be that deep.
The next day, all the wrong doings of Baldo was publish in local news and he was judged fast without any trial. This shook many of the citizens as they didn't expect a council member to be so deeply involved in crime and they were happy that he was judged immediately.
This helped gaining more reputation of the council members. The Nova Prime was more happy about it as Baldo was a tumor and he had always been eyeing her position for a long time. John just paved a smooth path for her. In her heart she was grateful to John but didn't express it as it would shame her in in front of council members.
John too was happy when he saw this. At least the nova prime didn't betray his trust. John didn't want to turn the whole empire as that would take a lot of time and manipulation. Lex went and had another meeting with everyone as he needed to step up the process of establishing the industries as Lex had promised that their weapons system would be upgraded.
He had already showed a glimpse of their weapons and the Nova prime was in a hurry to mass produce the weapons as this would give a huge edge to Nova Empire against the unruly Ronan who was giving huge troubles to the planets affiliated with theirs.
There was almost over a month for the story of Guardians of Galaxy to start. Even though John wasn't sure if his butterfly effect would change the story of the,m but he wished to find out. Since Rocket and Groot had already been removed from the equation he was waiting to see what changes would be in the story.
John spent the following month lazing around and occasionally contacting home, Tony and even contacted Disney once to check on the movie. Though he didn't tell them that he had left Mars long ago, he still wanted to have a proper talk with them.
As he was roaming around one day in the city alone one day, he saw a commotion and people gathering around. He got curious and he wanted to see what was going on. He soon saw a man and a woman fighting each other.
John immediately had a smile in his face as he knew both of the characters from before.

Peter Quill and Gamora. Son of Ego and daughter of Thanos.
"At least their story has started. I guess Peter did go to Morag to get the power stone. Nice. This is my stage to shine and improvise."
As they were fighting John saw another known acquaintance and this one surprised him a lot. It was Rocket. John walked upto him and him from behind and asked
"Where is Groot? Is his training over so fast?"
"Where they hell did you come from? I thought you were a Terran." Rocket said as his jumped on his feet since John approached him silently.
"I am Terran and I am also a citizen of the Nova Empire now." John replied.
"That's good. Well great liar, Groot is still training. The Guardians didn't like unknown people nosing in their business so they kicked the extras out. There were few of us anyways. Came to be fish in troubled waters but seeing these two stupid people fighting it out I would rather not join."
"Agreed. They both are stupid. Now the Nova Corps have already arrived. I wonder if they will survive in jail."
"So why are you here, O great liar." Rocket asked.
"I have a company here so I am just to look over it. I will return to home planet after I deal with someone." John said. "Do you want to come over to my home? Since we are both friends of lanterns I am sure we have many things in common."
"Umm sure.. Will save my hotel money." Rocket said. He believed John wasn't malicious as he was really friend of lanterns and he had met him before.
John and Rocket went back to his villa. Now Rocket was surprised as he saw a huge mansion. He never expected John to be so rich that he lived in such a posh area in Xandar.
"Dear Lord. Seems like you are rich."
"That is relative. Money doesn't really matter to me."
"Only rich people says those philosophical words. If you don't care about money you can give it to me..." Rocket said.
As they were talking Lex and Victor returned. Rocket after seeing Victor was more surprised as he had never seen such a cyborg in his life. He himself is a product of genetic and cybernetic experiment but he had never seen someone like Victor.
"What kind of horrible experiment did they do to you?" Rocket asked after he got introduced to Lex and Victor. Rocket thought Victor was was result of experimentation due to him.
"Well I was experimented on but I was dying. My father used an alien technology which he had no idea about. Due to that I survived at least." Victor replied. Rocket was fascinated by Victor and started asking questions of his cybernetics paying no heed to Victor's privacy.
Though Victor found it weird but from his scanning he knew that Rocket too was a experiment and a horrible one at that, so he answered patiently. Lex on the other hand was least interested in this conversation and said to John instead
"We had a meeting today. The Nova Prime looked really stressed with Ronan. He just annihilated an entire planet leaving none. Not even the children." Lex had disgust in his face. Even though in his life he had been a villain and never really cared about human life but even he had a bottom line.
"Hmm. Tell Nova Prime that I can solve her problem of Ronan on two conditions." John said.
"Huh you want to deal with Ronan? Are you sure that would be profitable?" Lex asked.
"Yes. Kree has grown way too arrogant. I went through their recent expansion. Skrulls weren't enough. Now they want Nova too."
"Ok I will pass on the information and your question of conditions." Lex said as he opened his mobile to talk with Nova Prime.
"Wait. Nova Prime? You know the Nova Prime? Why the hell is Nova Prime involved with you?" Rocket asked. He believed that John knew Nova Prime as for a Terran it was almost impossible to buy a house here without the help of Empire but he didn't expect it was the Nova Prime.
"Didn't I tell you I have a company here. The company is special so Nova Prime is dealing with it personally." John said.
"No wonder you can get a home here. But you said you are going to deal with Ronan. Are you going to call for the help of your friend? No offense but it will still be hard for a single lantern to deal with him. He has an army and a spaceship." Rocket said.
"I never said my only friend is a green lantern." John said with a smile.
"Victor. Barry will arrive here tomorrow. Register him into the citizenship of the Nova Empire. Actually you know what register every one of my friend as the highest level into the citizenship. You never know when it will be required." John said as he wanted his friends to be known to the empire in case something happens in the future.
