Thanos didn't want to be a villain.

Chapter 212 Marvel—Star-Lord's Last Job

"Gamora."

Peter Quill returned home and saw Gamora there as well, so he went up and kissed her.

But when I turned my head, I saw my grandfather being helped out of the door by a robot about half my height.

"Grandpa."

Peter Quill awkwardly parted ways with Gamora, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

"Don't mind this old man. Wendy said she's going to take me for a drive. You guys have fun on your own."

An eighty-year-old man would be halfway to his death on Earth, but after Peter Quill received the Empire, he performed genetic enhancements on his grandfather, which extended his lifespan.

However, the leg problems have not been completely cured. Although standing is not a problem, walking requires temporary assistance.

The Wendy mentioned by Peter Quill's grandfather is a Headmaster Transformer.

Peter Quill, that old lecher, specifically sought out a female Transformer, Headmaster, when he was securing a partnership with the Transformers.

What he intends to do, or what he has already done, is a matter of opinion.

However, after Gamora learned that he was a female Transformer, Peter Quill was often beaten so badly that he suffered from phantom pain in his genitals and walked with a limp.

Peter Quill watched his grandfather leave, then looked at Gamora with a conflicted expression.

Although Gamora was just a repairman, she was very good at reading people, and she noticed her lover's unusual behavior at a glance.

"What happened?" Gamora asked.

“Nothing’s wrong… By the way, were you making a pie just now?” Peter Quill reached out to take a bite, but Gamora stopped him.

“This was made automatically by the robot. You know I can’t cook.” Gamora looked him straight in the eye, but Peter Quill didn’t dare to look Gamora in the eye and pursed his lips, looking away.

"Tell me, what exactly happened?!"

Gamora, looking determined not to give up, turned his head and said fiercely, "If you don't explain yourself, you can sleep by yourself from now on!"

This wasn't the first time Gamora had encountered Peter Quill's evasive tactics; it always happened whenever he was conflicted or something was being hidden from her.

Upon hearing Gamora's threatening words, Peter Quill shuddered and then slumped down.

He briefly recounted what he had seen about the Black God Suit 2.0. After he finished, Gamora's expression did not relax; instead, she remained serious and asked, "You want to go to the new world?"

New world.

It is the name of another parallel world that Emperor Dio of the Empire recently discovered and incorporated into his territory.

It is said that most of the powerful beings in that world have died, leaving only the emperor of another world, Hyperion, and Thor's counterpart.

All that's left are ordinary civilians.

"Although this is a parallel world, the differences between the two worlds are still very obvious, and many bounty hunters are planning to go there."

Peter Quill explained, "But it's said that the world is very dangerous. Few bounty hunters who went there came back alive, but those who did made a fortune and bought the latest equipment to continue their treasure hunt in the new world."

"so……"

"So you want to go too?!" Gamora shouted angrily.

Peter Quill was startled by Gamora's shout, then pursed his lips and nodded.

Seeing Gamora about to unleash another attack, Peter Quill quickly said, "I don't want to be a bounty hunter anymore!"

Gamora's eyes cleared at the sound, and she unconsciously released her grip on Peter Quill.

Peter Quill took the opportunity to retreat and continued, "When I first started, I thought being a bounty hunter was cool. You could make a lot of money and have a lot of free time. But after I got into the business, I found that it was a very complicated industry and life was tough."

"Fortunately, the empire's policies were sound, which allowed me to learn a lot of skills, otherwise I would have lost my life as soon as I entered this industry."

As he spoke, he sat down on the living room sofa, and Gamora followed behind him, sitting down as well.

"Bounty hunters, those with strong skills can easily bring unlimited value to the empire by entering and leaving those dangerous areas, and their value skyrockets, making a lot of money."

"Those who lack skills can only pick up scraps and slowly work their way up. They earn little money, just like doing odd jobs. If they don't have a main job, they can't even make a living."

“I’ve been doing this job in a mediocre way, and I’ve been in danger of losing my life several times. It’s been a lot of hard work to build up these connections and this family. Plus, I’ve brought my grandfather back. I think I’ll give it my all one last time and then quit.”

As he spoke, Peter Quill rubbed his thigh and looked at Gamora.

Kamo stretched out his hand and stroked his face, saying affectionately, "It's okay, do what you want to do, but this time I have to go with you!"

Peter Quill also gazed lovingly into Gamora's eyes.

"Gamora..."

As the two drew closer and closer, about to bite each other, the door suddenly opened.

You should have quit a long time ago!

"Grandpa?"

Before anyone was seen, the voices were heard. The door opened, and Peter Quill's maternal grandfather walked in, with Wendy supporting him.

"This line of work is like being a mercenary; there's no official backing, and the casualty rate is just too high. You shouldn't have done it a long time ago!"

Peter Quill's grandfather smiled as Wendy helped him into the house.

Peter Quill looked surprised, never expecting that his grandfather would come to eavesdrop.

"But for this last time you go to work, you have to bring all your life-saving supplies. I've already watched my daughter pass away; I can't let you leave me too!"

Peter Quill stepped forward to help his grandfather.

“I thought you would refuse and not let me go…” Peter Quill said, somewhat surprised.

His grandfather shook his head and sat down on the sofa next to him.

"Life offers many choices. The process may not be perfect, and there may even be various twists and turns, but remember, the ending must be perfect. Don't let life leave you with regrets!"

With the support and encouragement of his family, Peter Quill was deeply moved, and the three of them, along with the machine, embraced each other.

Things went smoothly. Peter Quill took his grandfather to the community nursing home to help take care of him. This time, the two of them and the machine went together, since no one was at home to take care of his grandfather.

Peter Quill, as Star-Lord, also successfully acquired the Dark God Set 2.0, and even Gamora brought out her treasured armor that she had kept for many years.

Peter Quill's eyes widened the moment he saw the armor.

He once wanted to join the army and become an Astartes, even a Spartan warrior.

However, if he fails the genetic testing, he can only collect figurines and try to handcraft a set of powered armor that suits his situation.

Of course, Gamora's suit isn't some Spartan warrior or Astartes power armor; it's just a similar suit that Gamora herself wore, based on the armor worn by the Vanguard, who were transformed into Predators during a military parade.

I just don't know if it will have the same features as the Predator.

“You…” Peter Quill looked on in astonishment, his gaze slowly becoming vacant, and he didn’t know what to say to Gamora.

Gamora removed her helmet and visor, patted his cheek with a smile, and boarded the spaceship first.
