Multiverse of Marvel

Chapter 172: Retaliation (2)

Baldo, a Kylorian belonging to the member of the council never imagined that he would end up in such a tragic position. He had been the member of the council for a long time and had good relations with major industries in the empire but today he was dragged out by two people from his own house like a dog.

A month ago he came to know about the new technology and he instantly had greedy eyes. He knew if he could get his hands on the technology his standing would be different and in fact have a chance to replace the current Nova Prime, which was his lifelong dream.

He consulted the giants of spaceship industry and said that there would be a new player in the game. They got scared after they heard about this and then also realized that they needed to get their hands on it to start a new era.

All the giants soon decided on assassinating John and others in one go and make it look like an accident. They hired a desperate man who was ready to give away his life for the family. And thus the whole staged incident of ship on a collision course took place.

When Baldo got the whole visual of the spaceship vanishing instead of the expected explosion. He couldn't understand what just happened and wondered what kind of technology John had used to pull this off. He was more greedy now to get his hands on their technology.

But after a few hours he got news that one of his subordinate who was responsible for the whole process was killed. For the first time he got scared. He understood it was the retaliation of John. He immediately called the Nova Corps for added security but what happened next really made him doubt his life.

A man which had weird eyes and Victor came to his house. And wherever that man went, everyone would just fall asleep. The Nova Corps couldn't even shoot their guns before they fell down. Baldo tried running away but as he took the first step he saw the man standing in front of him. His eyes captivated him and before he realized he was asleep.

When Sasuke and Victor came back from the hunt it was already night. The Nova Corps didn't come to disturb them as Sasuke and Victor's hunt was done while manipulating the camers around. Victor never showed his face while Sasuke's face had never been registered and was never seen in Xandar or in the Empire.

The Nova Corps went into a frenzy at night searching for Sasuke but they didn't even understand how he made so many people sleep and even killed three while kidnapping a council member.

"So all the evidence has been extracted?" John asked as he saw them comimg back.

"Yes."

"Good. Lex call a meeting tomorrow with the council members and Nova Prime." John said to lex.

"OK."

The whole night the corps searched for the missing council member but they couldn't find him. All the spaceships that were supposed to go out of Xandar were stopped. Even though the daily life didn't stop there were many corps in the streets patrolling the next morning.

John after waking up had his breakfast and went with Victor and Lex to attend the meeting. He said to Sasuke to hide himself and show up with Baldo when called. Since Lex asked for an important meeting, all the members showed up even if they were in panic mode after the kidnapping of their own member.

"Mr. Jameson I wonder why you have called for a meeting at such a troubled time?" the Nova Prime as she really felt weird for a sudden call of meeting from Luthor. The deal was going pretty well and the company's building was almost ready with the industry being built and soon it will be online.

"I am here to hand over a snake to you. Victor show them."

Victor closed his eye and projected all the information of Baldo, his connections to crimes of the underworld and such other nefarious activities. At the end Victor showed the assassination attempt on John the previous day. It took full 10 minutes to show all the information and data about him.

"This is fake, this is conspiracy. You are using fake information to throw Baldo in the jaws of law. Yes. That's what it is. Now I understand how Baldo was kidnapped. You did it. Guards arrest him." said one council member hysterically.

The guards immediately pointed their guns at him.

"I have just stated a fact council member. And I don't really like guns being pointed at me." as John said that all the guards who were nearby suddenly fell down unconscious. The members and even the Nova Prime who didn't say anything yet got scared. They didn't understand how John did it.

As the guards fell down, Sasuke appeared out of thin air with Baldo on his shoulder still being unconscious.
