X-MEN- CH-63. Because I prefer family

Martin took some food from the plate in front of him and handed it to Raven. Then he asked, "Can you tell me about the Plunderers?"

"Certainly…" After Yondu's explanation, the plunderers didn't seem so magical; they were just mercenaries. As long as the employer pays, they will do anything. As long as the money is in place, they will do anything. It's no different from Martin's job, except that he hadn't taken any assignments in a long time.

There is another side to looters, which is that they will steal something, provided that the target is not as good as themselves. After the loot is finished, they turn around and run away. However, this is rarely done; after all, looters still rely on their employers for food.

"Anyway, the universe is huge. As long as you're not in a place with powerful forces, you can do whatever you want."

Martin nodded, thinking that the universe was so big, who knew where there was a ship that could help them.

"When you're done with your work, remember to take me with you on your next business."

"No problem. Would you consider joining us?"

Martin shook his head, "No, I just came to the universe to take a look, and I will have to go back later."

"Why go back to such a backward place? A strong person like you should be active in the universe. By then, many people will be willing to join you, and occupying a planet will not be a problem."

"Haha, Yondu, this is not what I pursue. I prefer to be with my family." In his previous life, Martin worked as a social animal for decades, but he never enjoyed himself and rarely saw his family. He fought for several more decades in this life. Now he just wanted to enjoy himself and take his family with him.

"Well, everyone has their own pursuits. If there is anything I can do for you, please don't hesitate to ask me."

Martin raised his glass, "Of course, we are friends now."

"Hahaha, yes, we are friends."

The two "friends," each with their own plans, clinked their glasses, drank the wine in one breath, and then looked at each other and laughed.

"Hahaha…"

The two chatted happily for a while, and Martin asked, "Yondu, where are we going next? Are we going to deliver the goods directly?"

"No, Martin... The destination is far from here. We need to get some supplies first before we can go."

"Aren't you a looter? Won't the city expel you?"

"Some will, some won't. As long as we don't offend the forces there, they won't interfere... But this time we are going to the paradise for plunderers—the Knowing Nothingness Realm. There, as long as you have money, anything is allowed." Yondu said.

"Knowing Nothingness Realm?"

"Yes." Yondu took a sip of wine and continued to explain, "It is rumored that there was originally the head of an ancient god. After the god died, only a skull was left. His bones, brain tissue, and bone marrow are all very precious materials, so various forces are there to make money. There are no rules, no laws, no order, only money and strength. There are all kinds of people there; it's a good place for people like us."

"The head of a god…" Martin smiled.

"…"

The party lasted for a long time, and by the time it ended, Raven was feeling a little dizzy. The wine here tasted okay when she first drank it, but it had a strong aftertaste. While Martin was chatting, Raven, as an observer, drank quite a lot without realizing it.

Carrying Raven into the room, she pointed softly to the window, "I want to go... there."

"You should rest."

"No, no…"

Seeing Raven struggling, Martin just put the mattress over there and walked over with her in his arms. The starry sky was beautiful, and Raven, with disheveled hair, was even more beautiful. He found an opportunity to take her directly to the starry sky later. Yondu should have protective clothing and flying vehicles…

"Zizizizi... Martin, are you awake?" Yondu's voice came from the communicator.

"Awake, what's wrong?" Martin asked.

"We need to make several space jumps to get to the Realm of Nothingness."

"Well, so what? Will it be dangerous?"

"No, just a few times. There will be bumps when jumping, so I wanted to inform you so you can be careful."

"Okay, I'm fine here."

After the communication was interrupted, Martin hugged Raven and turned to look outside.

"Can Yondu see us?"

"No, there are no surveillance cameras in this room. I checked. I read the memory of the man who sent us here yesterday."

Raven breathed a sigh of relief and loosened her arms around Martin. After being woken up, she used Martin's body to shield herself.

"You don't like invading other people's minds."

"I won't do it on purpose, but I'll still do it when it's beneficial to us. Besides, I only read his memory about this room; that's all. I'm not interested in reading other memories of such an ugly man." Martin pointed to the front and said, "Look."

Raven turned her head and saw a large light curtain in the shape of a honeycomb appear in front of her. As the two watched, the spaceship got closer and closer until it dove into the water. The spacecraft passed through the light curtain and obviously came to an unfamiliar starry sky. There was a slight bump, but Martin protected the two of them, and they were not affected.

"Is this space jumping?" Raven asked in surprise.

"Yes, it's amazing. I wonder how much distance this jump has covered."

As the two watched, the spaceship jumped several times before it ended, then adjusted its direction and flew to one side. Yondu's voice came through, "We are nearby; we will be there in a few hours."

"OK."

Martin raised his wrist and checked the time. It was about eight o'clock in the morning in New York. There is no day or night in the starry sky, and you can't tell the difference without looking at the time.

"I wonder what Emma and the others are doing." Martin muttered while hugging Raven.

"You miss them after just one day?"

"Yeah, I've never been away from them this far, and it must have been a long time. Although we went out to play before, we were always on Earth."

"...Don't worry; with Emma's power and strength, nothing will happen."

"Haha, I just suddenly thought of them. I'm not worried about that."

Martin turned around and lay sideways with Raven, face to face. Looking at the naked Raven, he put his hand on her face, "Luckily, you are with me; otherwise, I would die alone."

Raven smiled and said, "I suddenly realized that you are different from when we first met. At that time, you were not so sentimental." Then she looked down at Martin's hand and said, "Not so... clingy."

"Because I'm concerned. I love you so much... and them."

"Me too…" Hearing the last two words, Raven interrupted her words unhappily. She reached out to push Martin, who had turned over, but her strength was not strong enough, and she said coquettishly, "You bastard... Don't ever think of me becoming…"
