Chapter 397: Subordinates (please order the full version!)
After hearing that Russell was here to find Gamora, Star-Lord, who was already wary, became even more wary.
The way he looked at Russell now was no longer the way he looked at his enemy, but the way he looked at his love rival.
Although Russell hasn't said what he wants from Gamora yet, many scenes have flashed through Star-Lord's mind.
Russell noticed the changes in Star-Lord's eyes and expression.
However, he didn't take these changes in Star-Lord to heart at all.
Star-Lord is a fool!
Don’t worry too much about what fools think!
"What do you want from me?"
Gamora looked at Russell suspiciously and said slowly.
"I want to know something about your father. If you want to talk to me here, I don't mind."
Russell said calmly.
Although Star-Lord and others knew that Gamora was Thanos' adopted daughter, Gamora did not tell them much about Thanos.
Even though Gamora has decided to leave Thanos now, the terrifying impression Thanos left in her heart still cannot be erased.
She will never forget that her mother died because of Thanos' arrival.
Although Thanos later adopted her and treated her as his own daughter, Gamora still had an unspeakable fear of Thanos.
"Let's talk outside!"
After a few seconds of silence, Gamora said with a serious expression.
"good!"
After saying that, Russell turned around and left the spacecraft first.
When Gamora was about to leave the spaceship, Star-Lord stopped in front of her and said to Gamora: "I'm going with you."
"No, just wait for me here. He shouldn't have any ill intentions."
Gamora glanced at Star-Lord and others and left the airport.
On the huge tarmac, Russell and Gamora were walking casually as if taking a walk after dinner.
Although Gamora rejected Star-Lord, Star-Lord was obviously not the kind of person who would be obedient.
Not only Star-Lord, Rocket, Groot and others were also following dozens of meters behind them, paying attention to Russell's every move.
"You have only known each other for more than a month, but judging from their current behavior, they are not generally worried about your safety."
Although Russell did not look back, he could clearly sense the sneaky Star-Lord and others behind him.
With only a few dozen meters of distance, he could clearly hear the heartbeats of Star-Lord and others even if he didn't use his divine power and simply used his super hearing.
"What do you want to know about Thanos?"
Gamora did not answer Russell's question, but asked Russell directly.
"It seems that you don't really want to talk to me about them. In that case, I won't waste any more nonsense. I want to know Thanos' current location."
"If you don't know his exact location, I want to know how to find him."
Russell said calmly.
Although Thanos is well-known in the universe, he is a very "low-key" person.
how to say?
Although Thanos now carries out his crazy plan of "randomly surviving half" on some planets from time to time.
But this does not mean that his whereabouts are easy to determine.
Thanos is crazy, but he is not the kind of person with strong limbs and simple mind.
Unless Thanos shows up on his own initiative, it will not be easy to determine his whereabouts.
"Why do you want to know his whereabouts?"
Gamora continued to ask.
"This has nothing to do with you. You just need to tell me where he is or how to find him."
Russell has no interest in telling Gamora his plans.
Although Gamora looks very much in line with Star-Lord's taste, he is not Star-Lord, and he is much pickier than Star-Lord.
Strictly speaking, Gamora is not ugly.
Although he has green skin, green skin is not a particularly rare skin color in the universe.
In addition, Gamora's appearance and figure are not bad.
Otherwise, Star-Lord would not have fallen in love with Gamora so quickly.
After hearing Russell's answer, Gamora fell silent.
After more than ten seconds, she continued: "I don't know where Thanos is now, and I don't know how to find him."
"I have thrown away the contact device used to contact him, and I can't contact him now."
Gamora's tone was very serious, giving people a very sincere feeling.
But Russell didn't think so.
Gamora is Thanos' adopted daughter after all.
If she didn't have the communicator, she wouldn't be able to contact Thanos, and Thanos would be ignoring her too little.
Apart from anything else, with Thanos' concern for Gamora, Gamora would have at least ten secret contact information, at least seven or eight.
"Now I wonder if it's because I've been so talkative lately that others are unwilling to answer my questions honestly."
"As is the case with collectors, so is it with you."
After speaking, Russell sighed silently.
Although his tone was not harsh, as soon as he finished speaking, Gamora stopped and instinctively stretched her right hand towards the telescopic sword at her waist.
Russell sensed her little movement, but he did not stop Gamora and continued as if he had discovered nothing: "I will ask you one last time, how can I find Thanos."
After hearing his words, Gamora tried to say something.
However, before she could speak, Russell's voice sounded again.
"Think carefully before answering. I don't have as much patience as you think."
Gamora fell silent.
After a few seconds, she revealed several encrypted communication channels.
"These encrypted channels you mentioned should be useful."
"Okay, it's okay, you can leave!"
After saying that, Russell ignored Gamora and left the tarmac.
Although he has not yet confirmed whether these encrypted channels can contact Thanos, but if nothing unexpected happens, these channels should be useful.
Gamora is not the kind of person who can't see the situation clearly.
She would not risk her own life and the lives of Star-Lord and others for this matter.
If Gamora is still loyal to Thanos now, she might give Russell a few useless encrypted channels.
But now she is determined to leave Thanos.
Russell has clearly hinted to her that if she is still unwilling to say it, Russell doesn't mind being a real bad guy for once.
He would not go out of his way to let Gamora go just because she was a woman and had now changed her ways.
In any case, Gamora is also an assassin with blood on her hands.
Otherwise, she would not have received the nickname "The Most Dangerous Woman in the Universe".
Gamora stood there, looking at Russell's back with a complicated expression.
Star-Lord and others came to Gamora and looked at Gamora with concern.
"What did he ask you?"
Star-Lord asked first.
Gamora turned her head to look at Star-Lord, shook her head, and said nothing.
Russell didn't care whether Star-Lord and others would continue to stay in the Void Land or leave immediately.
After leaving the tarmac, he wandered around the Void Land casually.
Now that we have the method to contact Thanos, the next thing to consider is when to go find Thanos.
In the movie universe, Thanos is undoubtedly the top villain.
But in this universe, Thanos' threat level is far less than that in the movie universe.
Not to mention now, even when he first became a heavenly father-level god, Russell was absolutely sure to defeat Thanos.
Thanos can defeat the Hulk with a set of military fists, and he can also fight one against three, while facing off against Captain America, Tony wearing Mark 85, and the fat Thor with the Storm Tomahawk.
In the movie universe, Thanos has indeed shown the strength and demeanor that a top villain should have.
But for Russell, it is not difficult to deal with Thanos.
After wandering around in ignorance for more than ten minutes, he came to a bar and planned to spend some time here.
However, just a few minutes after he sat down, Star-Lord and his party came to the bar and sat down next to him.
Russell looked at Star-Lord and others with some curiosity, wondering what they were planning.
Before he could ask, Gamora said to him: "Are you going to take action against Thanos?"
"What I plan to do has nothing to do with you, right?"
Russell picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and said calmly.
"What you plan to do has nothing to do with us, but if you want to take action against Thanos, we may be able to help you."
Gamora said with a serious face.
help?
Russell put down his wine glass and looked at Gamora doubtfully.
He knew that Gamora now disapproved of Thanos, but if he remembered correctly, Gamora had never thought of taking the initiative to stop Thanos.
Not to mention stopping it, Gamora didn't even think of revealing Thanos' snap plan to Star-Lord and others.
Gamora just chose to leave Thanos and had no intention of becoming an enemy of Thanos.
At least that's the case from the perspective of the development of the movie universe.
After sizing up Gamora and others for a few seconds, Russell continued: "I don't think you can help. They don't know Thanos' strength, and you should know it very well."
"More importantly, I don't think I will need your help."
As soon as Russell finished speaking, Star-Lord looked at him with dissatisfaction.
"Don't look down on others too much. I know you are strong, but we are not weak either."
Star-Lord said with confidence.
"Not weak?"
"I don't know where your confidence comes from, but I'm pretty sure that your strength is not as strong as you think."
"You are not young anymore, it's time to recognize your own strength."
Russell said calmly.
"you……"
If he hadn't inquired about Russell's information and knew some of his past affairs, just based on what he said now, Star-Lord would have felt the need to let him know what it means to be an elite among the predators.
Russell ignored the unhappy Star-Lord and said to Gamora: "If you just came here to tell me this, you can leave."
After saying that, he ignored Gamora and others and asked the bartender to serve another glass of wine.
For the miscellaneous soldiers, Star-Lord, Gamora and others are pretty good.
But for Russell, the divine clone he created at will can easily kill hundreds of Guardians of the Galaxy.
Therefore, in his opinion, the help that Star-Lord, Gamora and others can provide is almost nothing.
If he reaches a situation where he needs help from Star-Lord, Gamora and others, it can only mean that he has encountered the biggest life crisis in history.
However, judging from his current "low-key" style, there is a high probability that he will not encounter such an enemy.
Despite his usually overbearing demeanor, he is actually a thoughtful person.
Now he knows exactly who he can offend and who he cannot offend.
To give a simple example, he would not go against the top bosses such as Death, Eternity, and Life Tribunal now.
He would never do this before he had the strength to compete with the opponent.
"Our strength is indeed far inferior to yours, but if it's just a small role, we can still solve it."
"A strong man like you should also need someone to handle small things, right?"
Gamora didn't care about Russell's rejection just now and continued.
After hearing what Gamora said, Russell turned to look at her and said silently: "Just tell me what you want to do."
"It's simple, we want to be your subordinates!"
When she mentioned the word "men", Gamora specially emphasized her tone.
"Become my subordinate?"
"Have you forgotten that if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been in Qien Prison for so long, and you wouldn't have lost the Cosmic Spirit Ball."
"You have suffered such a big loss from me, and I just threatened you. Now you are saying that you will become my subordinates."
"You wouldn't believe this kind of thing."
Russell now seriously doubts whether Gamora has been with Star-Lord for too long, causing her IQ to drop.
"Why don't you believe it? If I were you, I would definitely believe it because we are serious!"
Gamora said with a serious face.
After seeing the current expressions of Gamora and Star-Lord, Russell sighed helplessly.
"Okay, even if I believe that you really want to become my subordinates, you should tell me why you made this decision."
"Don't tell me that you are attracted to me, so you plan to bring them to me."
Russell said to Gamora.
"Because you are strong enough, and by following you, we can all get what we want."
Gamora answered immediately without any hesitation.
"Tell me more about it."
Russell continued.
"Rocket and Groot want to make a lot of money, Drax wants to avenge his wife and children, Peter wants to escape the predators, and I want to leave Thanos completely."
"Although we want different things, you can provide them."
"You are not short of money, and you have enough strength. As your subordinate, we can get what we want."
Gamora said extremely seriously.
Although Russell knew that they both had what they wanted, he didn't expect Gamora to say it so straightforwardly.
More importantly, this kind of initiative to seek help from others was not at all in line with his understanding of Gamora.
In his memory, Gamora was a person who was fearless.
However, now, she has taken the initiative to admit that she is afraid of Thanos.
When Gamora finished speaking, Russell began to think deeply.
After thinking carefully, he slowly said: "It's not impossible for you to want to be my subordinate, but you need to show your value."
"I can accept refuge from others, but I don't accept refuge from losers. Do you understand?"
