Marvel Hogwarts Wizard - Chapter 683: “Laid Down The Bait”
“That’s amazing. I will pay you another six billion for that. A total of ten billion for two of them.” Tivan’s eyes suddenly shone excitedly when he heard that Gamora had two Infinity Stones.
“No, that’s too cheap. Five hundred billion for the Orb, another five hundred billion for the Soul Stone. A total of one trillion units.” Before Gamora could answer, Jerry took a step forward and spoke directly to Tivan.
Tivan was stunned when he saw Jerry coming forward, “Who is this gentleman?”
“This is Jerry Carmen, the owner of Orb and the Soul Gem. I brought him to you, and he made the decision in everything.” Gamora’s meaning is obvious: she is here just to guide him, and the real person who calls the shots is Jerry.
“Jerry Carmen?” Tivan frowned. He always felt that this name was familiar as if he had heard it somewhere.
After a moment, he seemed to have found something in his memory, and his expression changed, “So you are the Jerry Carmen that has been rumored recently, the Wizard who single-handedly destroyed Ronan’s entire fleet.”
Jerry Carmen is not a unique name; many people have it. But the only person with this name who can possess the Orb and the Soul Stone is the only Jerry Carmen, the wizard.
The residents of Contraxia are plunderers and bounty hunters from all over the universe. After witnessing Jerry’s ability, how could they not spread what they saw and heard? Because of that, Jerry’s name is well-known not only on Earth but also throughout the universe.
“It seems that you know me well.” Jerry flipped his hand, and the Orb and the Soul Stone appeared in his right hand at the same time.
Staring at the Orb and Soul Stone in Jerry’s hand, the Collector tried hard to hide his excitement, pretended to cough, and said with a smile, “Of course I’ve heard of your name. But five hundred billion each is a bit too much. It’s been increased by a hundred times. That’s not part of the deal.”
Tivan has lived for so many years and has accumulated much wealth. He has also spent a lot of money to hire bounty hunters to find precious collectibles at high prices. One trillion is not a small amount, even for him.
“Mr. Tivan, it is indeed not part of the deal. The five billion you offered before was the price agreed between you and Gamora, not me. Besides, Gamora doesn’t know what kind of power the stones possess or their origins. But you, Mr. Tivan, should know about it. For example, if you collect six Infinity Stones, you can make any wish.”
Jerry stared into Tivan’s eyes, showing no intention of letting go.
He saw this and started his struggle, “Of course, I know their value, but one trillion is too much. Even If you get six stones, let alone one trillion, I will offer you one hundred billion at most. If you’re inclined, I can only give you 500 billion, which is my highest offer.”
“Forget it. I seem to have heard that Thanos is also collecting Infinity Stones. How about I sell them to him? I believe he might be willing to pay one trillion for them.” Jerry put away the Orb and Soul Stone without saying a word and turned around to leave.
Tivan felt anxious when he saw the stones disappearing. He hesitated momentarily, and when he saw Jerry about to walk out the door, he stamped his foot and said, “Okay, Mr. Carmen, you win. One trillion, I will pay you one trillion, and give me the stones.”
Having lived for countless years, the only reason he still lives now lies in his hobby of collecting, and among all the collections, there are few that can compare with the Infinity Stones. He did not do it for power or to make wishes but just to satisfy his hobby.
If Jerry were really asked to sell two precious infinity stones to Thanos, then he would have no chance of getting it.
He can’t go fight with Thanos just because of two Infinity Stones. So, one trillion was one trillion, and in the end, he reluctantly decided to use the money to buy two Infinity Stones and place them in the most eye-catching place in the hall.
If Jerry wasn’t as powerful as the rumor says, he wouldn’t mind robbing him.
“It’s a deal.” Jerry turned around and took out stones again.
Just after seeing Tivan’s eyes, he concluded that Tivan would definitely not be able to withstand the temptation of two Infinity Stones. Sure enough, he finally agreed to his deal. He’s not low on money; there is still 10 trillion in his account from selling the Dark Elves mothership.
The reason why we have to press forward step by step is also to make the deal a little bit dramatic.
Besides, why not make more money while at it? He can use the money earned from Tivan later to buy Knowhere from him.
“One trillion units received.”
Listening to the report from his wristband, Jerry handed over the stones to Tivan, who was full of joy.
Tivan is different from the Ravagers. Although he is the king of the black market in Knowhere, his public identity is that of the leader of the Tivan Group, and he is completely able to get more money through formal channels.
“See you later then, Mr. Tivan.” After achieving his goal, Jerry said goodbye to him, who was in a very good mood.
“If you don’t mind, you can stay in Knowhere for two more days. I’ll pay for all expenses. I just hope that if you have the opportunity to get the Infinity Stones again in the future, I would be delighted to make the first offer.”
“Of course, you will be my priority. Not many people in this universe are as interested in it as you are, Mr. Tivan.” Jerry smiled and took Quill and others out of Tivan’s building.
As soon as he left the door, he turned to Nebula and said, “Nebula, it’s time to send a message to Thanos.”
“Jerry, if you can really defeat Thanos, can you leave him to me to kill him?” Nebula nodded. Endless hatred gaze can be seen clearly.
She was born on the planet Luphom. Thanos killed all her family members. Thanos trained her as a killer since she was a child. Every time she failed to compete with Gamora, part of her body would be altered into a machine, and the process of doing so was worse than death.
Even though she is an adopted daughter, she really hates Thanos. It is only because of Thanos’s strength that she does not dare to disobey him and would listen to his words.
“No problem.” Jerry responded and then looked up and down Nebula’s semi-mechanized body.
“By the way, come to my room tonight, and I can do something to your body.”
