The grandmaster grunted in pain before finally opening his mouth to speak.
"ok ok fine, I'll talk, stop, it hurts," he said with widened eyes, the old guy really couldn't take it anymore.
'so much for an immortal being' Austin thought with a smirk before slightly loosening the contraction of the metallic chains.
"I don't know much, all I know is some "god of thunder took him away, that's all I know," The grandmaster said hastily with a frown, his eyes lingering on the black ice chains, almost as if he was afraid they would sink into his skin once again.
"god of thunder my ass, isn't he on this planet too?" Austin faked his anger and increased his pressure on the grandmaster, he kinda hated this guy in the movie, so he was pretty much bullying the old man for no reason.
even so, Austin didn't feel like an asshole.
"Well, about that," The grandmaster thought for a second while sweating bullets.
"think faster," Austin said while tightening the metallic chains, in fact, he already knew where hulk was, he just wanted to see if this so-called "grandmaster" really had any power other than his melt stick which he used to abuse lower life forms.
"I'm thinking, fuck" The grandmaster cursed while his eyes sharpened, although he was mad, there wasn't much he could do in this situation, he couldn't even move his limbs.
"A.I., connect me with Stark" Austin mumbled under his breath.
his Super suit immediately displayed a holographic screen, Tony Stark could be seen on it as well as 0epper Potts.
"Austin, what's up, did you find hulk?" Tony asked after seeing the strange background behind Austin.
"I didn't, but this guy here does"
Austin pointed the holographic screen to the grandmaster who was standing still in place and surrounded by metallic chains.
Tony stark and pepper Potts both watched the holographic screen with strange expressions, they could easily tell that Austin was torturing this poor old man.
"Fuck, didn't I tell you to think faster?" Austin said before he sent a kick toward the grandmaster.
bang!
the grandmaster was sent flying, landing into the charred rocks of the boulder which he had previously shattered with his melt stick.
"AHHH"
A toe-curling scream was heard as the grandmaster fell, and the smell of flesh burning could be smelled as well.
the hot temperature of the ground was caused by the power of the melt stick, so it was enough to damage the grandmaster, but not enough to turn him into ashes.
"I'll speak, I'll speak, STOP" the grandmaster was yelling in pain at this point, the tears in his eyes could be seen, and even Austin felt slightly bad for this guy.
The metallic chains moved, lifting the grandmaster off the ground and placing him back in Infront of Austin.
"then speak, I won't show mercy again," Austin said with an expressionless face.
'mercy my ass, my skin was almost burned off' the grandmaster felt like crying, but he decided to speak and get this guy off his case already.
Tony felt uncomfortable watching this happen, but he knew this was probably the only way to get such a guy like this to speak so he didn't say much about Austin's methods.
just one look and anyone could tell that the grandmaster was not a good person at all.
the grandmaster put his hands up in defeat and spoke.
"they left through a wormhole using a spaceship, where the spaceship went? I don't know, that's all I know"
The grandmaster was forced to spill everything after a long while, and it turns out that's all he knew, nothing else.
Tony stark and pepper Potts had long since canceled the call, with the excuse "call us when you find out where hulk is"
"oh shit, so that's where they went" Austin put his finger on his chin and thought silently.
"I knew they went there, I just wasn't sure, thanks for your help buddy," Austin said while lifting the grandmaster and removing the chains off his body before patting the old man's shoulders.
"I'll see you later then"
The grandmaster couldn't even react before he appeared back inside his room in the gladiator arena nearly instantaneously.

Austin sat atop Comet who flew through the sky kilometers above sakaar like a star that was passing by.
"yea, so apparently hulk was already taken away by Thor, I'm guessing they might be on Asgard by now," Austin said while he sat down and talked with Tony through a holographic screen.
"Asgard? why would Thor take hulk there?" Tony was confused, but since the duo hadn't returned to earth, he decided to trust Austin.
Austin shrugged and looked up ahead at the patting clouds in the distance.
"Well, you'll probably have to go to Asgard now, sorry to trouble you," Tony said with a facepalm, he was confused why Thor would take hulk to his home planet, hulk of all people who would possibly destroy the whole Asgardian city.
"no need, I was already going there, I'll inform you when I'm there," Austin said before turning off the communication device.
----
back in the gladiator arena.
the Grandmaster sat there on his luxurious chair with a strange look on his face, although he was kidnapped, tortured, then forced to speak, he didn't know how to react currently.
only after one of his guards entered the room did he knock out of his traumatized daze.
"ah, Grandmaster, you were here this whole time?" The bodyguard with paint on her face said with a shocked expression.
"The fuck do you mean here this whole time? I was kidnapped" the Grandmaster nearly shouted in anger.
he immediately rallied up his army and had them search all around the planet sakaar, looking for a strange human man in a black outfit.
soldiers with high-tech laser guns could be seen patrolling all around sakaar, yet little did they know that the "villain" they were looking for had already long left the planet.
