Chapter 246: Meet the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 1

Two days later, the sunny Xandar planet ushered in a historic moment. In the center of the clean and spacious Nova Square, a grand stage was set up, surrounded by gorgeous ribbons and flowers. Huge electronic screens hung high on both sides of the stage, broadcasting every detail of the scene in real time. Thousands of Xandar citizens gathered around the square, their eyes full of expectation and excitement.

On the stage, Adora, the queen of Xandar, stood in the center, wearing a gorgeous silver dress inlaid with shining gems, which sparkled in the sun. Her hair was tied into an exquisite bun, and she wore a crown inlaid with gems on her head. She exuded a noble and majestic temperament. Queen Adora had a warm and solemn smile on her face, and her eyes were firm and gentle.

Thor stood beside the queen, wearing an exquisite Asgardian dress. The black robe was embroidered with golden patterns, and the emblem of the Asgardian royal family was worn on his chest. Thor's golden hair was draped over his shoulders, and he looked handsome and majestic. With confidence and determination in his eyes, he faced the citizens and media gathered in the square together with Queen Adora.

"Today is a day worth remembering." Queen Adora said, her voice clear and powerful, carried throughout the square through the loudspeaker, "Xandar and Asgard, two great interstellar civilizations, will formally form an alliance at this moment."

Thor nodded slightly, took the microphone, and said in a loud voice: "Although Asgard and Xandar have different cultures and traditions, we have a common goal - to maintain peace and security in the Milky Way. Today, we will prove our determination with actions."

Queen Adora smiled and nodded: "That's right, Thor. We believe that through cooperation and trust, we can cope with any challenges in the future. Let us work together to embrace a brighter future."

The citizens and media present applauded, and the scene was filled with cheers and applause. Thor and Queen Adora smiled at everyone, then turned and walked to the long table in the center of the stage. On the long table were two exquisite alliance agreement documents, and next to them was a gem-encrusted signing pen.

Queen Adora first picked up the pen and elegantly signed her name on the agreement document. Her movements were graceful and calm, with a satisfied smile on her face.

Then, Thor also picked up the pen and signed his name on another agreement document. His movements were firm and powerful, and his eyes were shining with determination.

After the signing, Queen Adora and Thor handed the agreement documents to each other, symbolizing the formal alliance between the two countries. Afterwards, the two smiled and shook hands, facing the media and citizens present.

"Today, we not only signed an agreement, but also forged a deep friendship." Queen Adora said with a smile, "Let us work together for peace and prosperity."

Thor nodded in agreement: "We will prove our determination with our actions and protect the peace and security of the galaxy."

The media present pressed their shutters to record this historic moment. Thor and Queen Adora took a photo smiling under the flash, symbolizing the official alliance between Xandar and Asgard. Cheers and applause rang out again, and the whole square was filled with a festive and hopeful atmosphere.

......

Peter Quill staggered along the streets of Xandar with his swaggering smile. He wore a red jacket and retro headphones, and the music coming from the headphones made him look particularly comfortable. Groot and Rocket Raccoon followed behind him, while Drax walked in front angrily, his fists clenched and his face full of anger.

"I just want to settle the score with him!" Drax growled, his fists clenched, his eyes filled with anger.

Peter Quill came over excitedly and teased, "Hey, big guy, you look like you've seen an enemy. Who is he?"

Drax pointed at Nathan Hawke on the screen and said through gritted teeth: "That's him! The one who forcibly pulled us out of Ronan's spaceship! This is an insult to my dignity!"

Peter Quill's eyes flashed with curiosity, and then he pretended to be surprised and said: "Oh? This guy looks ordinary. But, taught you a lesson? Really?" Then he laughed and patted Drax on the shoulder: "Hey, calm down, we have to find out who this guy is first, otherwise how can we ask for an explanation?"

Drax's anger did not subside because of Peter's words. He turned around and glared at Peter: "This is not a question of being calm or not! This is a question of dignity!"

Rocket Raccoon rolled his eyes in annoyance: "Well, we all know how much you care about dignity."

Gamora looked at Rocket Raccoon and asked, "Do you know who he is?"

Rocket Raccoon also came over at this time and said with a frown: "That guy is Nathan Hawke. I have asked about him. He seems to be the god of Asgard and Thor's helper."

Peter Quill blinked and seemed more interested: "Asgard's helpers? Thor's friends? This is interesting."

Drax said angrily, "I don't care who he is, I want justice for me!"

Peter Quill smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes. He knew Drax's character, and provoking him was very effective. So he deliberately said in a provocative tone: "Drax, you can't just swallow your anger. We are the Guardians of the Galaxy. If we don't even dare to take the lead in such a thing, wouldn't it be too embarrassing?"

Drax's face became even more angry. He shouted, "Who said I don't dare? I must settle the score with him!"

Rocket Raccoon sighed helplessly and rolled his eyes: "Drax, you are such an impulsive guy. But since you want justice so badly, we will go with you."

Peter Quill patted Drax on the shoulder and said with a smile: "That's right, we are a team, we share the difficulties and the happiness."

Groot nodded and agreed: "I am Groot."

Gamora looked at Peter Quill and said worriedly, "Quill, are you really going to look for Nathan Hawke? He is a very powerful man. We can't take risks easily."

Peter Quill smiled confidently and acted like a show-off: "Don't worry, Gamora. I'm Star-Lord, there's nothing I can't handle. Besides, we are the Guardians of the Galaxy, no matter who the other party is, we have to stand up for our teammates."

Gamora shook her head helplessly, but decided to follow them. Peter Quill dusted himself off, straightened his coat, and looked into the distance with a determined look.

The scene changed, and Peter Quill and his companions were surrounded by Asgard warriors. These warriors were wearing golden armor, holding spears, and all of them had serious expressions and sharp eyes.

Peter Quill walked forward confidently, raised his hands and made a gesture of surrender: "Hey, everyone calm down, we are not here to make trouble, we just want to talk to someone." His voice was as frivolous and casual as usual.

Drax looked at the soldiers around him, still furious. He clenched his fists, ready to strike at any time. Rocket Raccoon quietly checked his weapons, looking a little nervous. Gamora remained alert, observing the surroundings calmly.

An Asgardian warrior stepped forward and said coldly: "Who are you? Why are you trespassing here?"

Peter Quill smiled slightly and put on a confident attitude: "We are the Guardians of the Galaxy, I am Star-Lord, and these are my teammates. We are here to find Mr. Nathan Hawke. We need to talk to him about something."

The Asgardian warrior frowned slightly, "Guardians of the Galaxy? Never heard of them. You want to see Mr. Nathan Hawke. Is there something urgent?"

Peter Quill nodded solemnly, "Yes, it's a very urgent matter. You see, we just came back from Ronan's battleship. He almost destroyed Xandar. We are not ordinary people."

At this moment, Drax couldn't help it, he shouted: "I want justice for my dignity!"

Peter Quill looked at Drax pretending to be helpless, then said to the Asgardian warrior: "You see, our teammate is really angry. You don't want to see him angry, believe me."

The Asgardian warrior remained calm. He glanced at Peter Quill and said, "Please wait a moment. I will go and consult Mr. Nathan Hawke."

Peter Quill nodded confidently: "Of course, of course, we'll wait here."

After the warriors left, Peter Quill turned to look at his teammates with a smug smile on his face: "See, I told you, there's nothing we can't handle."

Rocket Raccoon rolled his eyes: "You are really not afraid of death."

Gamora shook her head helplessly, but a hint of relief flashed in her eyes: "I hope we can really meet Nathan Hawke and resolve this matter."

Drax was still furious, but he stood aside silently, waiting for the soldier's response. Groot stood at the back of the team with an innocent look on his face, watching everything quietly.

A few minutes later, the soldier returned, his expression slightly softened: "Mr. Nathan Hawke agrees to see you, please follow me."

Peter Quill said to his teammates with a smug look on his face: "See, I said it's okay. Follow me."

They followed the warriors to Nathan Hawke's office. Peter Quill walked while shaking his head and humming a song, looking particularly relaxed and confident. Gamora and Rocket Raccoon remained alert and followed closely behind Peter. Drax was still furious, but he also knew that he had to calm down and wait for the opportunity. Groot followed at the end of the team with an innocent look on his face.

When they entered Nathan Hawke's lounge, Nathan Hawke was sitting at the table, looking at them calmly. Peter Quill walked up confidently and said with a smile: "Mr. Nathan Hawke, we finally meet."
