A place of nothingness!
The universe is a notoriously lawless place, a seemingly disordered and chaotic place. Whether they are wanted criminals in the universe or interstellar predators, they can show up openly here without any laws restraining them.
But this is only on the surface. The lawless land is not really without order, otherwise it would have been chaos.
Collector Tiwan has set the rules. Money is paramount here. If you have money, you can do anything in the void, even playing demolition in the downtown area. As long as you pay the fine afterwards, no one will hold you accountable.
Russell left the slave-trading neighborhood with a bunch of losers. He was a little disappointed. He thought he could buy anything with money, but the cruel fact told him that he was not a rich man.
"After all, I am also the leader of Hydra, but I can't even afford a few scientists..." Russell sighed, took out the locator and took a look. The red dot representing Malekith stayed in a certain place for a long time. For a long moment, I must be bargaining with the collector.
When the little red dot moves, it’s time for Russell to start cutting the second crop of leeks!
He thought that after cutting the second crop, the dark elves would have little value, so he would tie them up and send them to Asgard to exchange for rewards and make another fortune.
It's a pity that the dark elf showed up at the wrong time. Without the Reality Stone, he could only cut three crops with reluctance.
"BOSS, we're here."
Russell raised his head after hearing this and walked into the clean and tidy neighborhood. This is the area with the best security in the Land of Nothingness, and many high-level intellectuals will sell themselves here.
If the price is right and the treatment is reasonable, they will sign the contract and work for the buyer. It can be regarded as a labor market, but what is bought and sold here is not labor, but knowledge.
In a block similar to a trading floor, there are many pedestrians coming and going, and there are many casually long space people, which is an eye-opener for Yelena, who is new to the place, and she is amazed by everything she sees.
In fact, Russell is not really broke, he just bought a batch of brain tissue and spinal fluid from the Celestial Group on the black market, and Yelena and other country bumpkins who have never seen the world are extremely curious about everything, so they bought a lot of miscellaneous things. Leading to budget overruns.
Russell paid a sum of money, used the equipment in the hall, entered the professional skills of the required talents, and hundreds of drop-down menus flashed on the screen. After another deletion, designated as Kree, the drop-down menu was instantly cleared, leaving only four suitable targets.
The backgrounds of the scientists who put themselves up for sale here are not very clean, and many of them are wanted fugitives, such as these four Kree scientists. They conducted research that was expressly prohibited by the Kree Empire and came to the Land of Nothingness to evade capture.
One of them was a couple, and their crimes were interesting.
The Kree Empire is very sensitive to the issue of genetic purity, and the couple's research project is to break through the barriers to the evolution of the Kree race, which violates this law.
Scientists are all paranoid. Once they are determined to conquer an unknown field, they will not even care about their own life and death, not to mention laws that are unreasonable in their opinion.
Russell recharged a sum of money and booked a VIP chat room, intending to interview the couple. If it was the talent he wanted...it would be impossible to sign a contract. He believed in his leadership charisma and domineering aura. As soon as they leave, the other party will definitely pay homage.
He is extremely confident in himself. All the boys around him are like this. There is no reason why the Cree people are an exception.
Bang!
As soon as he turned around, Russell knocked down a blue-skinned boy. The latter wanted to take the opportunity to break off his leg to extort a medical fee, but he was surrounded by seven or eight white masks, and he was immediately frightened.
"Wait a moment!"
Russell slapped the little boy on the shoulder and pulled out a bomb from his hand. The dark elf's black hole bomb had just been touched by the little boy.
"Little guy, this thing is very dangerous. It will BOOM and kill you. Please be more careful next time. Do you understand?"
Just as he was talking, forty or fifty sturdy cosmonauts rushed over from both sides, surrounding Russell and his party.
After all, it is a place of nothingness, and the security at best is only comparable to other areas. Pedestrians in the surrounding areas are not surprised, so they should give a safe distance and go around to pass by.
A two-meter-tall spaceman with hardened skin, like a stone man, pointed at Russell and said angrily: "It's so shameless. You even dare to rob children's things. Is there anything else..."
Russell directly raised his hand to interrupt the stone man's speech, pointed to the alley next to him, pushed aside the aliens blocking the way, and walked in with a group of young men.
The stone man was stunned for three seconds, and his intuition told him that he might have kicked an iron plate, but seeking wealth in danger, Russell's appearance of spending money freely made his greed overcome caution, and he followed him in with his younger brothers.
After 20 seconds, Russell and others wandered out and made an appointment for two Kree scientists. They couldn't keep them waiting because... VIP rooms were charged for overtime.
"BOSS, that little boy is missing!"
"It's inevitable for young people to make mistakes when they go on errands. As long as they can step back from the brink, they can still be saved." Russell waved his hand slightly, just like a little kid.
"You mean...forget it?"
"How is it possible? If you encounter me again, give me a severe beating. If you don't learn well at a young age, you will pay back in the future!"
…
Two blocks away, the blue-skinned little boy turned into a deep alley and dug out three hiding companions from the garbage. They were all about the same age as him.
"How about it?"
"We are free. Those fools were set up by me to provoke ruthless people who shouldn't be provoked. They are all dead."
"Well done, Yondu!"
"Yondu, you have the best mind. What should we do next?"
"Those fools are dead, and new fools will soon fill in. We are too weak, and we have to find a way to leave this planet as soon as possible."
"Well, we all listen to you."
…
the other side!
In a huge house filled with display cabinets, a red-skinned maid bowed and said: "Please allow me to introduce to you my master 'Collector' Tanya Tiwan!"
"No, no, no, no introduction is needed this time. It is an honor for me to meet the two princes of Asgard."
Collector Tivan looked like a middle-aged man with silver hair. He smiled and performed the Asgardian meeting ceremony with Thor and Loki: "Please do me a favor and convey my thoughts to the god Odin."
"You are too polite. It is us who should salute you." Loki was humble and polite, pulling Thor to bend down and return the salute.
"So, the two princes of the God Realm, can you explain your purpose of coming? Don't get me wrong, it's just that you came too suddenly. If you are not in a hurry, I will make arrangements immediately so that you can enjoy a wonderful vacation."
Loki smiled lightly: "That's great, we're just here to play..."
"We came after the dark elves. You have seen them, right?" Thor asked bluntly.
Loki: "..."
