Star-Lord took out the cosmic spirit ball. The broker's eyes lit up and he was about to reach out to take it, but Star-Lord did not hand it to him. Instead, he tossed it up and down and said casually.
"But I don't plan to sell to you, I plan to deal directly with the buyer!"
The broker's outstretched hand froze in mid-air, and then he couldn't help but stare at Star-Lord and said angrily.
"You're acting against the rules!"
Upon hearing this, Star-Lord grabbed the cosmic spirit ball in his hand, looked at the broker, and nodded.
"Indeed, but are you sure you want to get involved?"
Seeing the half-smiling expression on Star-Lord's face, the broker couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, but then heard Star-Lord continue.
"Forgot to mention, I met a mechanical-headed monster on Morag. He claimed to be Ronan's subordinate!"
"What?"
When the broker heard this, his expression immediately changed.
As a Xandarian and a well-informed middleman, the broker certainly knew Ronan and what he wanted to do.
Ronan is a radical in the Kree Empire and is angered by the peace treaty between the two countries. He will not give up unless the Xandar civilization is completely wiped out!
He doesn't want anything to do with Ronan!
If Ronan is really eyeing the cosmic spirit ball, he will definitely not give up and will definitely follow Star-Lord to chase him here. The madman who wants to destroy Xandar can do anything!
As a middleman for star mercenaries, although he does not need to perform tasks himself, in fact this is not a safe job, and the reason why he has been able to survive unharmed until now is because of his caution.
The broker is not in the mood to care about Star-Lord breaking the rules at this time. He just wants to completely distance himself from this matter.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Quill, please leave immediately! I will not get involved in anything that has anything to do with Ronan!"
The broker said anxiously as he walked out from behind the counter and started chasing people away.
Star-Lord didn't expect the broker's reaction to be so big, and he was so afraid of Ronan, so he immediately said.
"Don't worry! We will leave, but you have to tell me who the buyer is first!"
"No, I cannot leak customer information, and I will not participate in this matter! Please leave immediately!"
The broker didn't want to have anything to do with this matter, let alone break the rules and reveal the client's information. He immediately said that while pushing Star-Lord towards the door.
When he passed Chen Mo, the broker also stretched out his arm towards him and pushed hard on his chest, but it felt as if he was pushed against a wall and did not move at all. The broker almost twisted his waist without paying attention.
Chen Mo glanced at Star-Lord, who was still pushing and shoving with the broker, trying to convince him, and couldn't help but secretly shake his head.
Star-Lord grew up among the Predators, and it is indeed very rare to be able to maintain kindness and principles, but sometimes he does things a little too much like his mother-in-law.
He can shoot his enemies without hesitation, but he is unwilling to hurt innocent people or even use force.
But Chen Mo didn't have the time to see him convincing people with reason here.
As soon as he thought about it, an Edman alloy flying knife appeared out of thin air, and then, driven by the power of his mind, it drew a silver trajectory in the air, and instantly appeared in front of the broker's eyes, with the sharp tip pointed straight at his eyebrows.
The broker wanted to push Chen Mo just now but didn't. He was about to turn his head to look, but his eyes were blurred, and then he noticed that a gleaming flying knife suddenly appeared in front of him, floating in mid-air and pointing towards him.
And just when he saw the flying knife clearly, it seemed to be driven by some kind of force and flew towards him out of thin air.
The broker looked at the flying knife in front of him that was constantly approaching his eyebrows. He suddenly reacted and quickly let go of Star-Lord and stepped back. However, the flying knife in front of him followed closely and was always only a few centimeters away from his forehead.
distance.
Soon he hit the counter behind him and was forced to stop, but the flying knife continued to fly forward firmly, forcing him to continue to lean back, and finally he almost fell on the counter.
Although Star-Lord had been pointed at by Chen Mo's flying knife before, being pointed at him and watching someone else being pointed at by a flying knife were two completely different feelings.
At this time, Star-Lord completely forgot about his original embarrassment and panic. He straightened his clothes that had been torn apart by the broker, and looked at him and said with gloating.
"Can we talk now?"
At the same time, Star-Lord is also reflecting in his heart. It seems that sometimes being reasonable and using words does not work, and violence is still needed to solve the problem!
The broker stared at the flying knife in front of him with cross-eyed eyes. He couldn't help but swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but still hesitated and said nothing. However, the next moment, the flying knife that was still a few centimeters away from his eyebrows continued to fly forward slowly.
The sharp tip of the knife gradually pierced the broker's eyebrows!
The broker wanted to hide further, but was blocked by the counter behind him, making it impossible to avoid him.
Feeling the coldness and stinging pain coming from his eyebrows, the broker finally couldn't hold himself any longer and immediately begged for mercy.
"I said! I said! Don't go any further!"
Finally, under Chen Mo's threat of violence, the broker revealed the identity and location of the buyer behind the scenes, who was none other than the owner of the Land of Nothingness, the collector Di Fan!
"Thanks!"
After getting the news he wanted, Star-Lord immediately shook the cosmic spirit ball in his hand happily toward the broker, then turned to look at Chen Mo, gave a thumbs up, and said with admiration.
"Your method is better!"
Star-Lord had forgotten that he used to hate Yondu's similar violent threats, thinking that he was barbaric and rough, but now he had a completely different attitude towards Chen Mo's behavior.
However, Star-Lord did not feel inappropriate about his obvious double-standard behavior.
Not to mention his prejudice against Yondu, the bandit who kidnapped him from the earth, his identity and background are completely incomparable with Chen Mo.
Yondu is an interstellar mercenary who can do anything for money. Although he doesn't commit burning, killing, looting or committing any evil, it obviously has nothing to do with justice.
But Chen Mo is the guardian of the entire earth and a superhero who has saved the world several times. Even if they do the same thing, the two of them have completely different meanings.
Not to mention that their ultimate goal is to fight against Ronan and Thanos and save the galaxy, including the Broker himself.
Under this background, it became natural and justified to use violence to get some important information from him.
Even if you think about it, the broker should thank them!
After asking for the information he wanted, Chen Mo retracted the flying knife, turned around and walked out of the store. Seeing this, Star-Lord quickly followed behind, but before leaving, Star-Lord turned around and said something to the shocked broker.
"Don't worry, we will help you kill Ronan! Just think of it as buying your news!"
