Exiting the bar, Kyle glanced up at the night sky as the conversation with Albert still echoed faintly in his ears.

"If it had been earlier, with enough bounty, Interstellar hunters like Quill would not only lead the way but also risk their lives for you. Unfortunately, you're a few days late."

"Why? Did this Star-Lord die?"

"No, but it's close enough. A few days ago, he got into a fight with three aliens at Freedom Square and was arrested by the Nova Corps. He's been charged with endangering the empire's security and colluding with Ronan. He's currently being held in the highly guarded Kyln prison."

"Very well, as long as he's alive, everything will be fine." Kyle calmly finished speaking and turned to leave, with Albert offering no further objections.

For a mediator, collecting and trading information and acting as an intermediary for bounty missions were straightforward tasks. They wouldn't involve themselves in risky situations.

"Kyln Prison, Star-Lord Quill..."

Kyle murmured softly as a glint of determination flashed in his eyes. Having a lead was better than aimlessly wandering the vast expanse of the galaxy for years.

If he could retrieve Howard and the others, he would storm not only the Prison but also the domain of Planet Titan if necessary.

But before that, he needed to return to his Spaceship to avoid causing unnecessary worry to Lorna and the others during his absence.

With this in mind, Kyle let Venom cover his body entirely and extended his dark wings behind him. Like a giant bat lurking in the night, he soared into the sky towards the outskirts of the city, where the forest lay.

Inside the Fighter Class Spaceship in stealth mode in the forest outskirts:

As Kyle smoothly returned, Lorna, who had been waiting at the door, joyfully embraced his arm and led him to the spacious main cockpit.

Upon entering the cockpit, Kyle noticed that Tony had already returned from his reconnaissance mission. Tony, still wearing his Iron Man suit, had removed his helmet, revealing a tired face as he leaned back in the chair with his eyes closed.

At the sound of the door opening, Tony suddenly woke up, and upon seeing Kyle, he jumped up from his chair with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness, taking a deep breath as he asked, "Boss, do you have any news?"

While Tony asked his question, everyone in the cockpit, including Green and Calvin, instinctively looked at Kyle.

Kyle patted Tony's shoulder reassuringly, making a clanging sound, then smiled and nodded.

"Fantastic!" Tony exclaimed excitedly, despite being in his thirties or forties, he acted like a child, overcome with joy.

"Is there really any news?" Lorna asked eagerly, her heart filled with an indescribable feeling, holding onto Kyle's arm tightly.

"Don't worry, just a clue."

Kyle urged Tony to calm down and proceeded to tell everyone in detail about the information he had obtained from the mediator.

"So, this Quill guy, who is imprisoned in Kyln has met my father on a certain planet, and my father even helped him repair his equipment?" Tony's eyes reddened as he thought about the twenty years or so of separation. 

The once charming and carefree youth had now matured into a bearded-looking uncle. He wondered if his father would still recognize him.

These creators, dedicating their lives to technology, may seem cold-blooded and ruthless, but in their hearts, the importance of family and promises surpasses everything else!

"I know about Kyln Prison," Calvin spoke up. "Anyone arrested by the Nova Corps will be held there. It's a floating fortress built on an asteroid outside of Xandar, with elite Nova Corps guards patrolling twenty-four hours a day."

"That's right," Green chimed in, pausing before continuing, "But there's something outsiders may not know. Kyln Prison is located in an asteroid belt near a black hole. The outer space environment is extremely harsh, and coupled with the elite Nova Corps fighter Ships guarding it, prisoners inside have almost no chance of escape, and it's extremely difficult for outsiders to mount a rescue operation."

Tony's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Boss, when it comes to the Nova Corps, we must be extra vigilant. I specifically researched the technological level of Xandar this afternoon. They possess universal technology common to most alien races, such as lightspeed space vessels, individual energy weapons, force fields, superluminal communication technology, and on top of that, they have their own distinctive style of military fighter jets."

"The Nova Corps' fighter jets can cleverly utilize force fields energy, and connections to create a light net with both offensive and defensive capabilities. It's because of this that there are few civilizations in the Galaxy that dare to oppose Nova. Once we encounter..."

As Tony spoke, he suddenly noticed that the atmosphere in the room was a bit off. Kyle remained silent, while the other people looked at him strangely.

"What's wrong?" Tony asked, puzzled.

Lorna reminded him, "Um, Tony, don't you know? At noon, we already had a real encounter with the Nova Corps."

"No way?!" Tony was a bit confused.

"Not only that, the boss even outran the Nova Corps' fighter jets in terms of speed and broke their proud light net," Green said, still in disbelief even if he hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes.

It was the Nova Corps, who dominated this part of the Galaxy! They couldn't even handle Kyle, burdened with a few of them. It was too exaggerated. If this news got out, it would undoubtedly cause a huge stir in the Galaxy!

"Okay, forget what I just said," Tony shrugged. The existence of the boss was something he couldn't comprehend with common sense.

After a detailed discussion, everyone's decision and attention were focused on Kyle, who was the backbone of the group.

After pondering for a moment, as if he knew Star-Lord, Kyle said inexplicably, "Star-Lord's involvement is too big to delay. Green, lead the way. We're flying to the Kyln prison now."

Half an hour later.

In the vast space outside Nova, several light-years away, on a belt of asteroids filled with debris, stood the Iron Fortress prison, the size of a small asteroid, surrounded by patrols of spacecraft.

The Eagle fighter jet in stealth mode approached the vicinity of the asteroid belt and stopped from a distance of several tens of kilometers, gazing at the heavily guarded fortress prison.

Inside the cockpit.

Green turned around and said seriously, "Boss, our Spaceship can't get any closer. If we get any closer, Xandarian detection technology will quickly detect us."

"Understood. You guys wait here. Tony and I will go and investigate."

Kyle waved his hand, and Tony, wearing his Iron Man suit, immediately followed. The two of them walked out of the cockpit to leave the fighter jet through the rear hatch.

"Be careful, Boss."

Lorna watched their backs, her hands clasped together. The once reckless and handsome punk girl was now no different from a weak woman praying and waiting for her husband to return safely.
