Chapter 197: Father's Responsibility

"Oh, it's a shame, Quill still owes me two meals! I'm going to rescue Quill and have a good laugh about it!"

"But you don't know where he is right now."

"Ego once hired Yondu to wait for Quill; Yondu must know his whereabouts!"

At this moment, Yondu was in trouble.

His repeated protection of Quill had led to increasing dissatisfaction among his subordinates.

"I'll tell you why I didn't let you do it—because I saw the man who killed Ronan!"

Confronted with his subordinates' doubts, Yondu roared, and the embroidery needles hidden in his sleeves flew out and spun around.

The rebellious subordinates quickly fell into line. In a fight, none of them could match Yondu's skill.

Seeing them bow their heads, Yondu nodded in satisfaction. He didn't notice the wary glances from his crew.

That night, he was betrayed. He was stabbed in the back, and the fins on his head were knocked off, rendering him unable to control the embroidery needles.

His few loyal subordinates were executed one by one and cast into space.

"Hahaha, damn it!"

Late into the night, the rebels celebrated their victory and drank to excess.

A small soldier quietly brought Yondu's fin to where he was being held.

"I'm sorry, boss. I... didn't want to rebel. But they killed all my friends..."

Yondu put on the fins with a heavy heart, looking at the soldier with a complex expression. This was probably the last loyal person he had. He never imagined that after working so hard for so many years, he would end up like this.

"It's alright. The boss will take care of this. We'll deal with them!"

Yondu patted the soldier's shoulder, a cold smile appearing on his blue face...

"Clang—"

The spaceship trembled suddenly.

"What happened?" Yondu asked, surprised.

A golden circle appeared beside him, and Rocket emerged, saying, "If you have any questions, I suggest you hold them. This spaceship is about to explode!"

"Dragon! Black Dragon!" On the spaceship, exclamations filled the air.

The leader of the rebels—who called himself Electric Shock Face—looked in shock at the enormous creature tens of meters outside the spaceship.

Onyxia took a deep breath, and a massive column of fire erupted from her, causing a large section of the spaceship to explode.

Princess Black Dragon felt a sense of satisfaction. A spaceship this large, and I just flatten it like it's nothing...

"It's useless," Thor said, taking a swing. "Watch me!"

He picked up Stormbreaker and charged towards the spaceship. Moments later, a huge explosion engulfed the entire vessel.

"See? It's like paper!" Back on Onyxia's back, Thor mocked.

Black Dragon Princess Loyalty +1!

"You actually destroyed my spaceship!"

On the Milano spaceship, Yondu complained helplessly to Thor.

"Well, it's not your spaceship anymore. You've been overthrown and you're no longer the captain!"

Rocket delivered his criticism with sharpness.

"Yeah..." Yondu hung his head dejectedly, lost in thought.

"I was a slave to the Kree for 20 years, and it was Stakar who rescued me and took me in as a Marauder. He said as long as I followed the code, it was my home.

"But I broke the code, and they exiled me. I deserved it..."

"Wait, when you say 'violating the rules,' do you mean helping Quill's father find his child?" Rocket interrupted.

"How did you know?" Yondu was surprised.

"He found his father yesterday and took Peter Quill to meet him..."

"Damn it! Don't hand him over to Ego!" Yondu was shocked. "Although I don't know why he's looking for Quill, it's definitely not for anything good!"

"So we need to go and stop him! Yes, save him. I'm going to laugh at him for the rest of my life for this."

Yondu stared at Rocket for a few seconds, then burst into laughter. "No! You're lying!"

"You act like the worst and cruelest person, but you're actually the most cowardly! You push away everyone who's willing to be with you because even a little affection reminds you of the deep emptiness in your heart! You don't want to accept friends because you're afraid of losing them! I understand you because..."

Yondu looked down at the stunned Rocket and said softly, "I'm just as troubled as you are!"

He placed his hand on the control panel and said quietly, "Ego's power is immense, and we probably won't make it back. I haven't done much good in my life, so let's at least do my best to take responsibility for Quill as a father this time!"
