He sneered, with a hint of mockery on his face, "I didn't care about it even decades ago. Now I only care about myself and want to live happily and comfortably. I don't want anything else. Even if I will be punished after I die, I don't care at all."
Felix's face turned sullen when he heard these words.
Natalia frowned and asked, "Mr.Quill, you mean you don't want to help us?"
Mr.Quill glanced at her and said with a smile, "I really don't have the thing you want. If you want to kill me, just do it. It's my destiny. I don't care."
"Do you really think that I don't dare to kill you?"
Just then, Felix rushed up and grabbed Mr. Quill's collar.
Everyone was shocked. Queeny hurriedly grabbed his arm and said, "Felix, calm down!"
However, Felix had put up with this old man for too long. He couldn't stand him anymore.
He took out a gun and pointed it at Mr. Quill's head. Gritting his teeth, he said, "Do you believe that I will shoot you?"
Mr.Quill squinted at him.
Even at this time, his face did not change. He still looked fearless, and there was even a mocking smile on his face.
"You want to kill me? Just do it. Shoot my head. If I die, you will never be able to get the Celestial Book. You have to watch the little girl you like to die in front of you! No one can save her, haha..."
He laughed crazily, and the veins on Felix's forehead stood out. He stared at the old guy with anger as if he would pull the trigger immediately.
Seeing this, Natalia's face changed. She was afraid that he would really kill Mr.Quill in anger.
She hurried forward to stop him and said, "Felix, don't be impulsive!"
Queeny pulled Felix's sleeve and whispered, "He's not afraid of death. You can't threaten him with this. Calm down."
Felix was rational after all. This matter was related to Queeny's life, so he didn't dare to mess it up.
Finally, he put down the gun angrily.
Natalia winked at Archie, indicating him to take Felix out to calm down.
Archie knew her well, so he understood what she meant. He immediately took Felix out.
After they all left, Natalia turned around and looked at Mr.Quill earnestly.
Mr.Quill's collar was grabbed by Felix just now. At this time, he was adjusting his clothes carefully. Although he was an old man, he seemed to pay attention to his dignity very much.
After adjusting his clothes, he snorted heavily and threw the broken cigarette into the ashtray.
Natalia whispered to Queeny, indicating her to go out too.
After Queeny left, she took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for Mr.Quill.
Mr.Quill paused and looked up at her.
Natalia looked calm. She didn't mean to fawn on him, nor did she get angry at all.
He sneered and lit the cigarette with the fire in her hand.
