Chapter: 240
"Baymax, what should we do now?" Star-Lord glanced casually at Baymax beside him and asked quietly.
"Captain, if we want to operate long-term on Xandar, it's best not to engage in direct confrontations with the pursuers. The right approach would be to head towards densely populated areas and try to shake off the enemies pursuing us.
If that doesn't work, Baymax can fly with you and evade the trackers," suggested Baymax.
Hearing Baymax's advice, Star-Lord nodded in agreement. He had experienced being captured by the Nova Corps on Xandar before, and he didn't want to go through that inexplicable ordeal again due to this unexpected situation.
However, despite Star-Lord's intention to evade, both groups of pursuers seemed determined not to let him go easily. Rocket Raccoon and Groot easily located their targets in the crowded crowd using the lock-on system on their tablet computer and continued to follow them closely, waiting for the right moment to strike.
The other person chasing after Star-Lord was Gamora, the daughter of Thanos. Thanos had reached a cooperation agreement with Ronan, promising to help him destroy Xandar if Ronan brought the Orb (the Power Stone) to him.
To fulfill this agreement, Thanos sent his two adopted daughters, Gamora and Nebula, to assist and oversee Ronan in accomplishing their deal.
Gamora was currently on Xandar pursuing Star-Lord on Ronan's orders. Ronan had destroyed several Nova Corps bases between star systems, and if his Kree soldiers were to appear on Xandar, they would undoubtedly face retaliatory attacks from the Nova Corps.
So, Ronan relied on Gamora, the deadliest assassin in the galaxy, to help him retrieve the Orb from Star-Lord.
Gamora, known as "the most dangerous woman in the universe," showcased her keen senses and tracking skills, enabling her to ignore the obstacles of the crowd and continuously approach Star-Lord.
"Captain, it looks like we should execute the second plan. I suspect the enemy has means to lock onto us as well. We've been circling around for so long, not only failed to shake them off, but also got closer to them. This won't work if we keep going like this," Baymax suggested as it led Star-Lord to change their direction once again, evading the pursuit while offering its advice.
However, if Baymax could see Star-Lord's foolish expression right now, it probably wouldn't even bother asking for his opinion and just take him on a flight to escape directly.
"Hey, Baymax, do you think we're overreacting? Maybe the ones chasing us are not Ronan and Yondu's people at all. Look at that hot-looking girl, oozing with sex appeal; I'm sure she's a lost girl attracted by the charm of Star-Lord."
The hot-looking girl Star-Lord saw was none other than Gamora. Thanks to her top-notch tracking skills, the distance between the two sides had narrowed enough for Star-Lord to spot her.
As soon as he saw her, Star-Lord was drawn to the unique aura emanating from Gamora. Her combination of rejecting people from miles away and her inner determination made Star-Lord, who was usually quite confident in his charm, feel like his IQ suddenly dropped into negative territory.
Seeing this situation, Baymax knew that Star-Lord could no longer be relied upon. It had to rely on its own judgment to deal with the current situation.
At this moment, Baymax suddenly felt that it shouldn't have felt sorry for Star-Lord before, making itself feel very tired now. "I miss the days when I was with my master. He always considered everything thoroughly, and Baymax just needed to follow orders to complete the tasks. But now... sigh!"
Although Star-Lord's performance always disappointed it, since Baymax had acknowledged him as their captain, Baymax couldn't just abandon him; it wasn't its style.
Under the current circumstances, following Star-Lord's orders was impossible. Baymax knew this, so it didn't bother discussing with him. It simply grabbed him from behind and took off into the sky without warning.
"Hmph, we still have help! Don't think flying up will get you away. Watch as I, Rocket Raccoon, shoot you down!" Seeing Baymax taking off with Star-Lord, Rocket Raccoon pulled out his guns, preparing to shoot.
However, before he could aim, Gamora had already stopped Baymax and Star-Lord's escape. Closer to Baymax and Star-Lord than Rocket Raccoon and Groot, Gamora had reacted the moment Baymax showed signs of movement. She closed the distance in a few big strides, then leaped at the moment Baymax took off, grabbing Star-Lord's right leg and pulling him back to the ground.
With a loud thud, Star-Lord, who had fallen to the ground, finally snapped back to his senses. Although he was now clear-headed, his body seemed to be weak.
After pulling Star-Lord down, Gamora began to search him thoroughly, trying to find the Orb. Unfortunately, the Orb was not on Star-Lord's person, so despite her thorough search, Gamora couldn't find what she wanted.
However, this didn't stop her from wanting to punch Star-Lord in the gut. When he had looked at her earlier, he had the audacity to wear a face of enjoyment, which disgusted her.
But before she could act, the sky suddenly darkened, and Rocket Raccoon and Groot took action.
The two of them used a large cloth bag to wrap up Gamora, as if packing goods, and wore expressions of joy and excitement. "We're rich, Groot! We're rich!"
"I am Groot!" Groot also tightened the bag opening with one hand and expressed his happiness by shaking his other hand.
However, their happiness was short-lived. Baymax saw the two groups of pursuers who had initially been chasing after their captain, for some unknown reason, starting a fight with each other. Seizing the opportunity, Baymax grabbed Star-Lord's collar and continue flying into the sky to escape from the scene.
"Hmph! Damn it, Groot, we got the wrong people!" Rocket Raccoon immediately noticed this embarrassing fact and shouted loudly at Groot.
"Groot?" Groot was also taken aback and involuntarily loosened his grip on the bag's opening.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gamora quickly broke free from the bag's restraint. Drawing her dagger from her waist, she cut off Groot's arms and then kicked Rocket Raccoon away with a powerful kick.
After dealing with Rocket Raccoon and Groot, Gamora looked around to find Star-Lord's trace, but he had already disappeared with Baymax.
"Darn it, they got away! But as long as you're still on Xandar, you won't escape from my grasp," Gamora said, taking out a folding tablet from her person. The tablet displayed the map of Xandar's capital city, and within the map was a moving red dot...
