Moreover, the sheer volume of various resources appearing on the market would easily attract the attention of major civilizations and numerous intergalactic commercial conglomerates.

Of course, during this process, Josie could also wear the coattails of Dracula, the Blood Lord, but it would still attract the attention of many other forces.

Although Josie wasn't afraid, it would obviously waste a lot of her time and energy.

However, in the universe, there is a place, an entity, where Josie can easily obtain a massive amount of money.

This place is the land of nothingness, and this existence is the collector.

As an entity that has lived for countless years, the collector's accumulated wealth is beyond the imagination of outsiders.

Even those established cosmic empires might not be as wealthy as him.

Even a tiny bit of something leaking between her fingers would be enough to drown Josie right now.

However, it is not an easy thing for ordinary people to make money from this collector.

Although collectors don't care about money and are happy to spend a lot of money on things they like.

But please note that they are collectors, not junk collectors.

We only accept high-quality items.

However, this was clearly not a problem for Josie.

So many worlds, so many civilizations, with so many species that this world doesn't have.

If you randomly pick a few, none of them are ones the collector has ever seen before.

Before that, Josie had already collected a massive amount of species from those worlds that most likely do not exist in the Marvel Universe.

The most numerous of these are species from Azeroth.

For this reason, Abidis has been working tirelessly for many years.

Josie believes that collectors will be happy to pay for these species.

…………

After more than a week of sailing, Josie and her companions arrived at the star system where the Land of Nothingness was located.

Aside from encountering a group of rather foolish raiders, everything went smoothly.

Although it is called the Land of Nothingness, its location is not a secret.

Basically, all star charts sold in the cosmic market include this feature.

However, no civilization has dared to make a move here to this day—even though the special organic matter produced here is a best-selling product throughout the universe.

To be precise, it's not that there are no civilized forces that dare not take action.

Rather, those civilized forces that dared to take action are all gone.

Because the Tivan Group, as a super commercial conglomerate in the universe, possesses an extremely large mercenary fleet, which is no match for the armies of ordinary small and medium-sized civilizations.

The collector, Tanlia Tivan, is himself an extremely powerful individual.

Despite the fact that in the movie, the Collectors seemed to be easily defeated by Thanos, and the entire No Man's Land was destroyed.

But that was based on the premise that Thanos had already obtained the Power Stone.

Although the Collector also possesses the Reality Stone, its power is clearly inferior to that of the Power Stone.

Therefore, it is perfectly normal for the Collectors to lose to Thanos.

However, it cannot be said that his strength is weak.

The arrival of Josie's fleet caused a stir at the Nowhere Starport.

After all, with three cheerleader-class warships escorting them, it's clear that this person is no ordinary individual.

Although the Land of No Return is inhabited by a large number of mercenaries, space miners, and aliens of various complex backgrounds, these people are not stupid and know who they can mess with and who they cannot.

So, the area around Josie and her crew's spaceship was completely empty.

After disembarking from the spaceship, the people on the starport only dared to watch from a distance.

However, Josie and his companions had no interest in dealing with these scumbags. They had already made an appointment with Tanlia Tivan, so he had arranged for servants to greet them well in advance.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Josie Kahn?" a gorgeously dressed alien maid with purple skin asked Josie cautiously.

“That’s right, that’s me!” Josie nodded, not surprised that the person who greeted her wasn’t the red-skinned alien from the movies—because, as the saying goes, the timing was wrong.

The collector himself is immortal, but his servants are not.

Moreover, the collector was always harsh on his servants, often turning them into specimens, so he replaced them very frequently.

"Honored guests, please follow me. Your master has been waiting for you for a long time!" After confirming Josie's identity, the purple-skinned alien maid bowed very respectfully and said.

Josie nodded, signaling Talonis and the robots carrying huge shipping containers behind her to follow.

These containers contain the goods he intends to sell to collectors.

Soon, led by the purple-skinned maid, Josie met the Collector, the flamboyant man who, just like in the movies, possessed...

Chapter 275 Trading

"The master has collected the most rare species in the entire universe..." Inside the huge exhibition hall, the purple-skinned alien maid "extremely enthusiastically" introduced the creatures or items in each display case they passed to Josie and her group, and explained them in great detail.

This alone shows that this maid is much more professional than the young, red-skinned maid who appeared in the movie.

What they had in common was that, even with their eyes closed, Josie and the others could feel the maid's intense resentment, unwillingness, sorrow, and helplessness.

The reason is simple: collectors are never masters who care about their subordinates.

If a subordinate makes even the slightest mistake, he is very likely to turn him into a fixed, immobile specimen—the living kind.

Moreover, once it is made into a specimen, it will be provided with an extremely complete life support system.

It keeps people in a state where they can neither live nor die.

The treatment was even worse than that of his collection.

After all, most collectors' collections are so rare that, aside from freedom, they receive very good treatment in all aspects.

For example, the duck in front of Josie and the others, dressed in a flashy red suit and drinking champagne.

While Josie and her friends were observing it, it calmly sipped its champagne and sized them up, making it seem as if it was the one being observed.

It's Howard the Duck, which has appeared as an Easter egg in the movie countless times.

Josie just didn't expect this thing to appear so early and become a collector's item.

“Hello, Howard!” Josie stopped in front of the display case and greeted the ducks inside.

"What? Howard is here too??" Upon hearing Josie's words, Peggy Carter, who had been following behind with a serious expression, observing the display cases containing various alien species, was taken aback.

“…Relax, Peggy, I’m not talking about the Howard we know, but this one!” Josie pointed to the duck in the box.

"What? This duck is also named Howard? How did you know?" Carter asked Howard the duck with a strange expression after hearing Josie's words. She strongly suspected that Josie was just making fun of Howard on purpose.

But what happened the next second made Carter lose his composure.

Because... the duck spoke.

"You ignorant hairless female gorilla... Can't a duck be called Howard? What kind of logic is that? By the way, human! Do you know me?" Howard the Duck, who was calmly drinking champagne, put down his glass when he heard the conversation between the two. He first made a sarcastic remark to Carter, and then asked Josie.

Carter was so taken aback by Howard's comment about a hairless female gorilla that he questioned his existence, and the others almost burst out laughing.

"Of course, through some special channels, I've long admired you, but what are you doing here?" Josie asked Howard Duck, suppressing a laugh.

"It's nothing really, I just ran out of money, so I sold myself..." Howard shrugged nonchalantly.

Josie was speechless now. She sold herself because she had no money... What a powerful reason.

"Distinguished guests, please follow me. The master has been waiting for you for a long time!" Seeing that Josie was actually chatting with Howard, the alien maid became anxious. She was not sure if the Collector would be angry if she arrived late.

After all, she didn't know what the Collector would do to Josie and the others if he got angry, but she would definitely have to go into the closet.

"Let's go find the Collector first, we'll talk later!" Seeing the alien maid's extreme anxiety, Josie didn't press her further, greeted Howard the Duck, and continued onward.

"See you later, but it would be even better if you bought me and then bought me a drink!" Howard waved goodbye to Josie, then leisurely lay down on the sofa in the cabinet, showing no awareness of being an "exhibit".

“Josie, are these people and animals really going to be locked up in those tiny cages for the rest of their lives? They are intelligent beings, this is too cruel!” Margot couldn’t help but lean closer to Josie and say as they walked.

“The laws of the universe are just that cruel. Just like the centaurs we encountered, many of these so-called artifacts are survivors of various destroyed civilizations, or were captured and enslaved and sold here because their own civilizations were weak. Aliens don’t talk to you about freedom and democracy, so if we don’t want to end up like them, Earth must become strong,” Josie said in a deep voice.

Margot and Talonnicus nodded to each other after hearing Josie's words, while Peggy Carter's mind was racing.

After taking over the IMF team, she officially entered the upper echelons of the United States and her knowledge broadened considerably.

In particular, we have seen plenty of the private behavior of high-ranking officials from various countries, including the United States.

Many of the events she had experienced had already made her understand how dirty the behind-the-scenes deals of politicians were.

In addition, there are the intricate relationships between countries around the world.

Can an Earth like this really be powerful enough to stand on its own in the universe?

Carter expressed strong doubt.

Or perhaps, the entire Earth needs a truly unified regime and a wise leader in order to truly establish itself in the universe.

Otherwise, why are the most powerful civilizations she has ever heard of in the universe, such as the Kree Empire, the Skrull Empire, the Shi'ar Empire, and the Nova Empire, all authoritarian regimes?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Josh walking ahead...
