156. My mother! There are also windfalls!

The purchase of the Universe Spirit Ball was unexpectedly successful. Peter Quill didn't know what was inside, but after he handed over the money and delivery with Craft, he asked curiously.

"Is there anything special about this thing? In addition to the broker, the accuser, Ronan, is also looking for it."

Craft glanced at Peter Quill, and whether he was intentionally reminding him or not, Craft was not going to tell him the truth.

It’s not that I’m afraid that Peter Quill will regret it, but that I know too much is not good for this fellow earthling.

"I'm also entrusted, and the price they offer is much higher than that broker." Craft looked at Peter Quill with a smile. "Although it's hard to say the specific numbers, it's definitely a few more zeros than 150,000."

"What?!"

Peter Quill was angry, of course his anger was not directed at Craft, but the broker who offered them a quote.

"That profiteer! He actually dares to deceive the plunderer!"

"It's not necessarily a deception to you. Maybe he thinks that the Universe Spirit Ball is only worth this price or not."

Craft shrugged and defended the guy he didn't know. There seemed to be not many people who could know the Infinity Stone...

OK, there seem to be quite a lot...

I recalled the insiders I knew, and there were many people on the earth alone.

No longer struggling with this issue, Craft shifted the topic to Peter Quill.

"How did you leave the earth? How did you join the plunderers? You should know that most plunderers have little reputation... Although I, a pirate, are not qualified to say this..."

"Oh, this is a very long story..."

Star Lord and Craft came to the bench in the corner and sat down and began to tell his experience.

“Not quite right…”

Craft scratched his head. He had dealt with some predators before, because the members of Death Pioneer made Craft know a default rule within the Predators.

"The raiders have a principle that they do not attack children. According to your statement, isn't that courage that violates the raiders' regulations?"

"I don't know if this is the case..."

Peter Quill was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and began to murmur.

"No wonder I've never seen Yongdu interact with other raiders..."

"If you really wonder, I have a contact information for the Raider Chief named Staka Vaughan, why don't you ask him?"

Whether it was because of the fellow earthlings or because he had just picked up a big leak from Star Lord, Craft planned to help him, but it was just a small task.

"Please trouble you."

Star Lord put away his cynical expression for the first time and looked at Craft very seriously.

Craft ticked twice on the watch, and a virtual screen popped up above his wrist, and in a short while, Staka Vaughan's head appeared on it.

"Craft? Is there anything you need to ask me?"

Starka Vaughn on the screen asked with a smile that Craft and he met during a commission. They established a pretty good friendship in that battle, and Starka Vaughn was one of the few raiders who had a relatively good reputation.

"It's true, I wonder if you know a raider named Yongdu."

Craft made it straight to the point, and then saw the expression of Starka Vaughan on the screen quickly becoming ugly.

"Yongdu, of course I know, that is a shame among us predators!" Starka said with some excitement: "He was exiled by us because he violated the principle that we predators would never buy or sell children. Why did you suddenly mention him?"

"Well, because I happened to meet a fellow earthling today, who seemed to be one of the members who were plundered by Yongdu back then."

Craft pointed to the Star Lord beside him.

"I know you," Staka Vaughan said before Star Lord said: "The only child Yongdu has not sold. If you want to come to me to judge Yongdu, unfortunately, our punishment is to exile him and will not give you any extra compensation."

Although Staka Vaughn has a good reputation, he is essentially a predator, so he will naturally not stand up to Peter Quill, who is almost completely unaware of.

"No, what I want to ask is, why is it me?"

Before this, Star Lord thought he was the only child who was plundered by Yongdu, and believed that they needed a child to steal things in a narrow place, but now it seems that this is not the case.

"Yongdu traveled all the way to the earth just to catch a child like me. There must be some reason, right?"

Once the miasma is opened, Star Lord discovered many unreasonable things.

"I don't know about this, and Yongdu has never given us a reasonable explanation."

Staka shook his head. He had no way to answer Star Lord's question, but he also gave a clue.

"But as far as I know, there was only one buyer in Yongdu back then, but I don't know who it was. I'm sorry I can only help you here, my child."

After Staka finished speaking, he clenched his fist with his right hand and pounded his chest, and took the initiative to cut off the call.

After finishing the call with Staka Vaughn, Peter Quill sat silently on the bench and didn't know what he was thinking.

"What are you going to do? Go and ask Yongdu?" Craft patted his shoulder, "For the sake of being both Earthlings and the Universe Spirit Ball, I can help you find out the truth."

"You're right, I really have to go and ask Yongdu for a clear question."

Star Lord took out a USB drive-sized machine, which is a relatively popular interstellar general communication device, and the price is very affordable.

He pinched the two corners of the machine and pulled the small square in his hand a light screen appeared in Star Lord's hand. He lit the light screen a few times, and a blue-skinned alien appeared on the light screen. A very short red mechanical fin was embedded on his bare head.

"Quill! Where are you now?"

The blue-skinned Moxi on the screen began to roar loudly the moment the phone was connected.

"We have already visited the planet Mogra! But you and the Universe Spirit Ball are not here!"

If it were the past, Star Lord would have had a quarrel with Yongdu, but now he said calmly: "I have met Staka Vaughan."

“…”

Yongdu on the light screen was silent.

"So, tell me the truth, why is it me? Who is the one who wants to buy me?!"

As Yongdu was silent, Peter Quill became more and more excited as he spoke. He pointed hard at Yongdu on the screen and roared.
