American comics: You're asked to fish, but you catch a Superman template?

Piloting the Cloud Garment and looking down at the bustling metropolis unfolding below, Xu Fu couldn't help but sigh with melancholy.

Soon, they arrived at the Nova Corps command center.

The hatch opened, and Xu Fu waved to several of Star-Lord's men, then gestured towards Gwen with his chin, saying, "Let's go, I'll pick you up later."

“O!”

Gwen nodded happily and ran towards the hatch.

The hatch closed, and Xu Fu, holding Ruiwen, used the teleportation deck to disappear from the Yunshang.

This was a rare opportunity to explore the surrounding area with Raven and see this exotic place for the first time.

...

An hour later, Xu Fu and Raven returned to the Ella, and Gwen and Star-Lord also received their rewards.

· ·Requesting flowers····· ······

Queen Sandar originally intended to bestow upon them some special honors, such as medals or something similar, but the five of them unanimously requested that the prizes be changed to something substantial.

In the end, they received a large sum of money.

Money is not a problem; even if Star-Lord and his crew wanted to buy a new small airship, it wouldn't be an issue.

Gwen sat in the airship, a hint of joy on her face.

The money has been deposited into their bank account, and they are very satisfied with it.

Gwen also received a sum of money because she didn't have an account.

After the group left, Gwen agreed to give the four Star-Lords a ride to the black market in the Wasteland so they could buy the spaceship without having to visit the famous black market in space.

Xu Fu piloted the El spaceship, leading everyone towards the desolate land.

... .... 0

"What, are you still thinking about what they just said?"

Gamora looked at Star-Lord, who was frowning and seemed to be thinking about something, and asked in a low voice.

As they expressed their gratitude, Queen Nova told Star-Lord about his birth.

Star-Lord nodded and said in a low voice, "They say I'm half-blood... I never thought they would be the ones confirming my mother's words."

He smiled bitterly.

"My mother told others before she died that my father was an alien, but everyone thought she was hallucinating because of a brain tumor."

Gamora shook Star-Lord's hand, and as Star-Lord was about to shake it back, Gamora pushed him aside.

"hiss!"

Star-Lord gasped, slapped Gamora's hand away, and grinned at her.

Good grief, weren't you the first one to grab me?

"So, your father wasn't human?"

Drax had a serious expression on his face.

Rocket, clutching a small flowerpot, looked up and said, "Oh, maybe some kind of insect, monkey, hunting dog, or something."

Star-Lord looked around at everyone, panting, and said, "Queen Nova said that I have some very ancient genes in my body that possess great power."

“I might know who your father is.”

Xu Fu activated the autopilot and approached him.

The people sitting in the living room immediately looked at Xu Fu.

Xu Fu pinched his chin and looked at Star-Lord, who suddenly reached out his hand to Xu Fu.

Xu Fu was stunned: "What...are you doing?"

"Don't we need to touch him?" Star-Lord asked. "I've seen the movies; you have to touch him to find the connection. You..."

Chapter 1089 Zatanna's Doubts

After a sleepless night, Zatana, still half-asleep, dialed Xu Fu's number, and then...

"Hey, I need a list of places we're going to explore and what amazing creatures are there."

"The thing under the pillow"

Zatana hurriedly lifted the pillow, and when she saw the thick envelope, she was stunned: for the first time, she felt like a clown on a stage, completely fooled by the other party.

混蛋

Zatanna wanted nothing more than to tear the newspaper to shreds and mash the underdeveloped boy into mincemeat, but she ultimately relented and whispered...

"When will we leave, and where exactly will we be leaving?"

"A Cadillac will be at the circus entrance at 5 a.m. tomorrow." "Get in, you don't need to worry about the rest."

"I see".

Zatana muttered something, hung up the phone, and collapsed onto the bed like a fish that had been deboned. She picked up the business card, glanced at it, and tossed "640" aside like unwanted trash. Then she picked up her bank card, thought for a moment, and clipped it away.

One hundred thousand dollars is no small sum; it can buy a lot of magical materials, and with this money, one's financial situation can be greatly improved.

"Xu Fu-Xiao!"

As Zatana muttered to herself, she recalled the comments online, and her heart suddenly skipped a beat: her family was a member of the Yamaguchi-gumi, she had a high reputation in the seaside city, she had fled to the metropolis at a young age to start a social network, and in less than half a year, she had become a tycoon with a net worth of over 100 million.

It's terrifying to even think about someone like that.

Zatana sighed heavily. She had become the target of everyone's hatred, so what could she do if she was afraid? Fortunately, the other party was just an ordinary human, and she was sure she could deal with him with her magical abilities.

No problem, let's get started!

For her little life, Zatanna spent a day making magical items, filling a large bag with all sorts of bottles and jars.

The next morning, before dawn, Zatana appeared at the circus entrance dressed in military uniform and carrying her luggage.

At 4:55, a black Cadillac appeared at the intersection ahead. The car stopped in front of Zatana, the door opened, and an exceptionally burly middle-aged white man stepped out.

The middle-aged man's eyes were cold, so cold that they sent chills down one's spine. Just one glance was enough to give Zatanna goosebumps all over her back.

"He's not a man! He's not a man!"

A roar escaped the girl's lips as she instinctively took a step back: Xu Fu-Xiao had indeed used corpse puppets as servants.

Adam seemed to realize something as well, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but he said nothing, opened the car door, and gestured for her to get in.

The book states that corpse puppets are the product of a combination of soul magic and dark magic. They are cruel, bloodthirsty, and ruthless, and need to constantly devour the flesh and blood of living people to maintain their sanity. Moreover, each corpse puppet sprays a large amount of perfume to cover up its own stench.

Zatana wrinkled her nose, a hint of distrust flashing in her eyes, then...

There is no perfume or corpse smell!

What's the situation?

It may not be a puppet, but judging from its eyes and magical fluctuations, it is definitely not a puppet; only a puppet would behave this way.

Who are you? Who created you?

Adam reached out and pointed to the car door: "The young master said that if you haven't arrived at the airport by 5:30, he'll have me kill you."

"You...you must be joking, I would never ride in a zombie doll's car."

Adam glanced at his watch. "It's 5:3."

The calm words, as indifferent as ever, made Zatana tense up. After hesitating for a moment, she sat down in the back seat.

The Cadillac started up and arrived at Wedge Rock Airport twenty minutes later.

Adam got out of the car and walked into the private jet in front. Zatanna looked around, gritted her teeth, and followed him.

The girl put her backpack on the counter and couldn't help but tell Xu Fu, who was lying in his seat pretending to be asleep.

"This corpse is a puppet, one you created."

"A corpse doll?"

Xu Fu opened his eyes and asked in confusion, "What is a corpse doll?"

"Don't tell me you don't know who that big guy who sent me is."

Xu Fu shook his head: "He is not a necromancer. He is a human who has reformed himself and lost his human senses for some reason."

Zatana replied angrily, "Do you think I'm a fool? The magical vibrations emanating from him are too obvious; only a possessed corpse doll could emit such energy."

Xu Fu raised his eyebrows slightly, quite surprised. As expected of a descendant of a magical family, he did indeed recognize Adam's identity at a glance. However, he would never admit such a thing even if he were beaten to death. Black magic is a taboo in the magical world, and once it spreads, it will bring endless trouble.

"Female mage, don't take me for a magic idiot. Corpse puppets feed on human blood to maintain their sanity, and their bodies emit a foul stench. Can you smell the stench on Adam?"

Zatana paused for a moment: she had noticed it several times in the car; this big guy really didn't smell, and his skin was very firm, unlike a corpse.

Am I mistaken?

The girl muttered to herself, looking puzzled.

Xu Fu put on the blindfold and ignored her.

After the plane took off, it set a route to the Mississippi Valley. After flying for an hour, it stopped at a private airport. The three of them got off the plane and into a BMW that was already waiting there.
