The Xandarian looked at the faces. He knew he was saved by them, but for how long?

"What's your name?"

"I am Muk-Bang. W-Who are you?"

"Umm... Muk-Bang, tell me, what were you doing on Hala, what did you find?" There was no kindness in those words.

"It's classified." He replied.

"Oh, so now you have courage? Good for you, read this. We are working with Nova Corps." He showed the contract, but not the whole part.

This made him enter his comfort zone, exactly what Hector wanted. Manipulating people to get what he wants was one of the things he was good at. "You have nothing to worry about, we are already on our way back to Xandar."

*Sniff* He started to sob for some reason, then broke down in tears, "I will be court marshalled and killed for betraying Nova Empire. There is no point in going back. Take this and hand it over to Nova Prime. There is a part of the code that made Supreme Intelligence. It can help us understand how its thought process works."

Hector gladly took it, it was a free meal. But, should he kill the man, he wondered. ~What if I can use him to infiltrate Nova Empire, an inside man who will later tell me all the juicy details?~

He decided to make him tell a different story, instead of giving this chip to Nova Prime. "It's okay, son. I will help you. I will tell Nova Prime that I met you while you were in the middle of a fight to leave Hala. Although this code is not much of a help, I have information that can help you. Tell Nova Prime that Ronan is completely against the Nova Empire and is on the brink of rebelling against Supreme Intelligence. He will alone come after Nova Empire. Tell her that Ronan has shaken hands with Thanos and Nova Empire needs to stay on alert even when a peace deal is made."

Hearing him, Muk-Bang looked shocked. He only knew Ronan was against peace but this was much deeper information. Anywhere Thanos is involved, nothing goes well.

"Really? B-But... why would you help me?" He asked back. He was a spy, not as dumb as one would think.

Hector smiled warmly, "Well, because I believe in helping and making friends. I just feel like not letting Nova Prime hear this."

A voice recording played on the speakers, "I will be court marshalled and killed for betraying Nova Empire."

Muk-Bang's eyes contracted, he knew that this was a disguised threat. "What do you want?"

"Nothing, I just want a friend in Nova Empire. You know, I can help you get promoted, heck, you can even become Nova Prime one day with my help. I am rich and influential. All I ask in return is to get a heads up for some major events or deals." Hector revealed his demands under the veil of smiles.

"Hehe..." Yondu grinned, showing his dirty teeth. He sure was against Hector and salty about his clan being taken away, but what he was seeing only showed that Hector was no ordinary man.

"I-Is that it? Is that all you want?" Muk-Bang asked. He couldn't believe it because this was such a vague and low-level demand. He already knew many other officers who are corrupt and committed crimes much graver than just passing information.

"You're not my slave, son. We are going to be partners. I can help you and you can help me. Mutual benefits are the way to go for a long-lasting partnership. So, shake my hand if you agree,"

Muk-Bang looked at his hand for a minute. It meant so much, this could be the decision that changes his life or makes his life. But, did he even have the choice, sure, the terms sounded good, but he was also threatened. "I... I accept the deal."

"GREAT! Kraglin Obfonteri, bring in the drinks,"

...

Xandar,

It was right to say that Nova Prime was pretty nervous. The reason was that it was her idea to send the two spies to Hala to dig for some information. Hence, it was her ass, her job on the line.

It didn't matter if she had to take the help of Ravagers, who Xandarians usually considered dangerous if not enemies. But she could not take any chances, Hector had proven himself to be pretty successful by just infiltrating and leaving unscratched from Sakaar.

These days she spends most of her time in her office, fidgeting with her hands, waiting for any news. It had been 3 months since Hector sent the last transmission that he was heading in.

*BAM* The door was pushed open by her excited assistant, "Ma'am, they are back! The Ravager scums!"

She jolted up, face lighting up, "D-Did they do it?"

"We don't know yet, they are just docking right now,"

"Let's go then,"

...

Hector came down from the ramp of his ship, Muk-Bang behind him, looking as fine as ever. He had already made the final deal with Hector, it was all documented on a Datapad and in the form of video.

The man kept a smile on his face the whole time, trying to act as confident as possible. He was already taught everything by Hector about how to fool Nova Prime.

It didn't take long for her to arrive. So Hector started before she could speak, "It was a pretty hard mission, but we did it. Here is your spy, he was trying to leave the planet and was fighting the Kree. We saved him,"

She looked the guy in the eye, "Did they get anything from you?"

"No, but I got something from them. The news is not good, we need to prepare ourselves for when the temporary peace comes," Muk-Bang said, keeping things in suspense so Nova Prime, Irani Rael, will feel more focused on the intel rather than him.

"Come with me to my office, we will talk there. And President Washington, as per our deal, the money will be transferred to your account. The rest of the deal is also accepted. You have ownership of the shop as well." She told him the details in a rush and left without asking how the mission even went.

Hector scoffed, the woman was forgetting the basic decency of respecting the strong. He shrugged and went back into the shop to check his secure terminal.

"Great, the money is here. Moony, we can finally afford the toy you wanted. I hope it's worth all this money, 2 million credits is a lot." Hector sighed as he said it. Moony had eyed a robot that looked like a small puppy. It was life-like and ran on AI. It would grow just like any other dog.

"Woof!" ~Don't worry, dad, it will be the best investment of your life.~

"Haha, sure, if you say so."

*PUFF* Logan walked in, smoking. "Pres, I want this, can you buy it for me?"

Hector took the flyer from Logan and looked, "What? Why do you want to buy a hover motorbike? We're in space."

"But we go to so many planets, I want to be able to roam around and see new things. I'm sure Moony would love rides on space motorbike," Logan argued.

"WUF" ~YES, DAD! I wanna eat air again,~

This made Hector stare at Logan, he saw the hidden grin, "You shooting the gun from Moony's shoulder?"

Moony quickly looked at his back, ~Gun? Where?~

"It's an expression of speech, son. *Sigh* Fine, I will buy it, it's just a few thousand credits,"

"PRESIDENT! I want to buy new teeth, can you give me 40,000 credits?" Yondu barged into his office.

(_)

"What the... why do your teeth cost more than Logan's motorbike? And why do you need new teeth?" Hector was so close to flipping his table.

Yondu grinned and showed him his teeth.

Hector sounded in disgust, "Ugh... those don't even look like teeth. They are uneven gravel."

"Exactly, so I want new teeth. Why so expensive? That's because I want to do it for my clan. My new teeth will each have a new function. One can shoot a tiny laser, one can spew poisonous gas, one can spill liquid poison, one can be a tracker, one can be a communicator and so on." Yondu explained.

And just then, the one missing guy, Adam Warlock entered, "Mister President, if I may, I have come up with a marvellous investment that can assist you to manage your operations. Let me demonstrate to you the pamphlet, this is Turbo AI Sixty Nine thousand. A supercomputer that can put all other AIs to shame. It's only 5 million credits."

(_(_)_)

Yondu, Moony and Logan were staring at him as if telling him to get in line first.

Hector read the pamphlet. He sighed and held his head, "I'm never gonna financially recover from this,"
