Once back, they all relaxed in his office. After a while, Michael spoke up.
"Thank you for your help, God-son. I don't think anyone could have dealt with Dormammu. I owe you one."
"No, my friend. We don't owe each other in this protecting the Universe business. It's our job to do good." Alexander said and threw him a beer bottle.
"Haha, good to see someone with similar thinking as I" Michael chuckled.
Hela stood up to leave but stopped midway, "Grandpa, I'm going to my room"
She was still adaptive to being Alexander's child.
"So, where will you go next, Michael?" Alexander asked.
"Back to my post in heaven. Wait for when another demon gets too ambitious."
"Haha, be sure to call me up if you need backup." He offered.
"Thank you, I will remember this. Now I should be going. Farewell, my friend" Michael said goodbye and left.
Alexander was then left alone in the room. Dobby had also gone back to Earth.
*Sigh*
~One problem solved, what next?~ He thought to himself.
...
6 Months had passed,
Alexander was done with all the work on Finta. It was a real advanced free trade hub now. Most of the shops had already been booked there.
*Knock Knock*
"Boss, the leader of Ravager is here. He's called, Stakar Ogord. Should I send him in?" His secretary asked. 100 percent of the local planet's population was working in his trade business. His secretary was one of them. It had taken him a lot of work to make them stop calling him Cu-nt.
"Yes, send him in," he responded.
Soon a big man entered,
~hmm, Sylvester Stallone~ he mumbled
...
"It is an honor to meet you, Mr. Alexander," Stakar greeted. He might be a leader of a Ravager clan but he also knew that he couldn't disrespect people like Alexander. Currently, most of the people in the Universe who knew of him, thought that he is one of the Elders.
"Haha, please take a seat. You might be a pirate but at least you don't deal in child trafficking and that is something I can respect." Alexander replied and passed him a glass of Firewhiskey.
"Thank you, I just came here to say thank you for letting us restock and refuel here. I also had a proposal," he added.
"Hmm, you already know that I don't deal in stolen goods so tell me, what is this proposal?" Alexander asked.
"Yes, I know the rules. But I wasn't talking about the stolen goods. You see, we Ravagers sometimes go to barren planets that harbored life once. We often find precious metals, arts, or mysterious things. We mostly ignore everything except the metal and leave. I was thinking if you..."
Alexander understood him, "Hmm, a very good idea indeed. I don't know about the art but if it looks beautiful then I'll buy it. However, if you do find anything mysteries, be it an item or information, like something you saw on the planet you can't explain. I'll buy it too."
"Haha, then it'll be a pleasure doing business, Mr. Alexander." Stakar brought his hand to shake but suddenly remembered that a person of Alexander's status might not want to touch his hand, but surprisingly.
"Same here, tell the same thing to other Ravager clans as well." Alexander shook his hand,
"Sure, sir. Thank you for your time." He left.
Alexander retracted his hand and was about to sit down but then the empty glass bottle fell to the ground and shattered.
After a few seconds of silence, the person spoke again, "welcome to Knowhere, Emperor Universe. We have notified the collector and he will receive you"
Alexander was going by Emperor Universe these days in the space. Although technically he was just a king as he only controlled a single planet, he also controlled the area for many light-years around the planet. So it made him an emperor.
Alexander left his ship and flew into Knowhere. The collector in his weird styled clothes waited for him there. Alexander was a big man who reeked money, so everyone gave him respect.
The collector was an elder too so he didn't want to start a fight with another elder, that is if Alexander was one.
"Welcome to Knowhere, Emperor Universe. Please follow me so we can talk in peace." He suggested.
"Sure, lead the way, Collector." He replied and also checked his sins,
|| Taneleer Tivan - Category 3
Murder - 12,890,567
Robbery - 576,987,453
Sin Percentage - 60%||
~Hmm, I'll deal with him later. Maybe covertly as I don't want to harm so many valuable things kept here~ Alexander decided.
Collector took him to his office. They sat down and he offered Alexander a drink. Not so surprising, it was Firewhiskey. It had become a symbol of wealth after all.
"So, how can I help a fellow elder?" He asked.
"Haha, I am not the kind of elder you think I am, Collector. I am much bigger than that." Alexander replied, releasing a bit of his overwhelming magical aura.
It didn't take Collector to realize that Alexander was some kind of a celestial or something similar, as only they had such weird magical powers. He had seen sorcerers and knew what was the difference between what Alexander had and that.
"Oh, please tell me what can I do for you?" He asked.
"I heard you have a variety of collections of things. I was looking for some plants for a long time and thought you might have them."
"What are their names?" Collector asked.
"Eternal Night light, Sunblaze, elder tree and tree of harmony" he Stated the names.
"Hmm, I have them all. But the thing is, they are one of a kind." He replied.
"I don't want them, I just want to have a look," Alexander stated.
Collector was doubtful, why would someone come so far if he just wanted to see.
"Alright, I'll show them." He led him to some glass boxes.
Alexander quickly checked them out from inside out with his magic and took out a small part of them from inside to replicate them later.
"Haha, such amazing plants. Too bad they are the last of them." He sadly spoke.
The collector genuinely felt like Alexander was sad. "Ah yes, that's why I'm preserving them."
"Good, now only if there was a way to grow them again. Thank you for taking out your time for me, Collector. I'll be on my way now." Alexander started to walk out. But suddenly his eyes fell on a weird duck in human clothes.
