Chapter 732 The "Father's" Enemy

In the interstellar era, many intelligent star systems in the universe typically form their own "plunderer" teams in order to have sufficient resources for development.

Of course, "plunderer" here is not necessarily a derogatory term, and it can be divided into two situations: one is like Ronan, a dark plunderer who uses force to seize resources from other intelligent planets.

Another type is the neutral faction's "plunderers." Although they are called plunderers, they are more like "adventurers," and what they do is mostly to search for and mine unclaimed resources in the vast universe.

In terms of scale and type, raiders can actually be divided into two main categories: one is raiders supported by planetary forces, which are regular armies.

Another type consists of raider groups spontaneously formed by wanderers without a home planet; they typically call themselves "space pirates."

As the name suggests, "pirates" are more inclined to act in a chaotic manner.

Ironically, among these notorious "space pirates," there is a very disciplined team of "adventurers."

That was the free "raiders" led by Staka. They did not belong to any planet and did not engage in the dirty and evil act of plundering.

All resources must be developed by ourselves.

When necessary, they will also provide some assistance to infants and women wandering in the universe.

It does share a similar approach to the righteous planet Xandar.

To preserve the "spark" for the universe.

Yondu the "Sentinel Arrow" was a member of this group of free "adventurers" a long time ago, and was a squad leader directly under Stag.

However, a mission to Earth to help someone "find" their son led Starka to mistakenly believe that Yondu was involved in child trafficking.

Unsurprisingly, Yondu was then kicked out of his team by Starka.

As for Yondu, he was actually more wronged than Dou E.

He was clearly helping the Celestial Clan's Ego find his lost Celestial bloodline child, which was considered a "righteous" act.

However, during his arduous journey to find Star-Lord from Earth and take the little guy to his father, he unexpectedly received news that Starka had unilaterally expelled him from the team.

What could Yondu do in this situation? He could only think about completing the task at hand first, and then going back to explain to Chief Stag.

However, Yondu, who took young Star-Lord to the inhabited planet Ego, soon discovered that the Celestial Ego was actually a "freak".

The other side had many children in other galaxies because of their "sowing plan," but when they were found, they were all killed by the other side.

The children's bones piled up in a thick layer on Igor.

To prevent Star-Lord from suffering a terrible fate, Yondu immediately chose to escape with him.

Because he feared the power of the Celestials, Yondu dared not return to Stag.

After all, the target was too obvious, and Igor could easily find it.

Having lost his organization and with a child by his side, Yondu could only begin a life of wandering, trying to make a living while acting as both father and mother.

After more than a decade of ups and downs, young Star-Lord finally grew up, raised with great care and attention, while Yondu finally built his own "Raiders" team through his own efforts.

Just when everything was getting better and Yondu was preparing to join forces with his adopted son to make the team bigger and stronger, Star-Lord went through his "rebellious phase".

He actually ran off with the team's "trophy," the Cosmic Orb.

Yondu must have cursed Star-Lord countless times for this, calling him a "heartless bastard."

Although Star-Lord retrieved the Orb from the Nameless Planet, the entire team actually worked together to gather information about it and locate it.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the Orb does not belong to either Star-Lord or Yondu.

Now Star-Lord has run away with the team's "spoils of war".

This naturally angered the other members of the team, and even caused them to have some reservations about his adoptive father.

As a result, the team has become increasingly difficult to manage.

However, just as Yondu was suppressing his anger and cleaning up Star-Lord's mess, he unexpectedly received an emergency distress signal from his adopted son.

"That damn brat..."

While cursing, Yondu quickly directed his team to "rescue" the enemy.

What can I do? I raised them myself.

It is true that spaceships with space jump technology travel very fast. Just as Star-Lord was enjoying Gamora and her sister's bickering again in his small, dilapidated spaceship, a giant "Mohican" spaceship that appeared from the wormhole space sucked Star-Lord and his small, dilapidated spaceship into the giant spaceship recovery bay.

Also sucked in was Star-Lord's previous half of his spaceship, and Rocket Raccoon inside.

"Hello, Dad and everyone, have you eaten?" Star-Lord, who had just emerged from the small spaceship, was immediately surrounded by a vast number of raiders.

Each of them had an unfriendly look in their eyes.

This is why Star-Lord didn't want to ask Yondu for help.

"What exactly did you do to them? Why do they all look like they want to eat you?" Rocket Raccoon, who was also surrounded by raiders, asked Star-Lord in a low voice.

Yes, they were caught in the crossfire; Rocket Raccoon, Gamora, Scarlet Witch, and others who were brought along were also surrounded by the raiders.

The somber atmosphere at this moment made neither Gamora nor her sister feel like bickering.

Gamora went to Star-Lord's side, essentially to "support" him.

Nebula then went behind Scarlet Witch.

“Remember the Orb? They had a piece of that too…” Star-Lord explained quietly.

"The Orb of Destiny? No wonder. If it were me, I'd want to bite you to death too." Rocket Raccoon shook his head and took two steps back from Star-Lord.

It seems like they're trying to distance themselves from the situation.

That's a cosmic orb worth four billion interstellar coins; even if a large group of people divided it up, they couldn't possibly spend it all.

Cutting off someone's source of income is like killing their parents.

Star-Lord is in big trouble this time.

"Where's the Spirit Orb?" Yondu, with his mohawk, pushed through the crowd and walked up to his adopted son.

His expression was serious, and his eyes showed disappointment and frustration.

The truth is, even if Yondu wanted to let Star-Lord go, the other raiders certainly wouldn't agree.

Therefore, whether it's for Star-Lord's good or to continue leading the team, Yondu needs to adopt the "right" attitude.

"Ronan stole it, and it should be on its way to Xandar now," Star-Lord replied guiltily.

"What?! You actually lost all of our spoils..."

"The accuser, Ronan, is not someone to be trifled with..."

"Debts must be paid back. Star-Lord lost his things, so he should be held responsible..."

"kill him……"

……

Upon hearing that their priceless loot had been lost, the raiders began to curse, and some even suggested killing Star-Lord.

Meanwhile, Gamora, Scarlet Witch, and others who arrived with them were also subject to condemnation.

Among the group, perhaps only the Scarlet Witch was capable of fighting back against the raiders wielding various weapons.

However, considering that this was her and Mike's first interstellar trip, and in order not to cause trouble for each other, Scarlet Witch chose to wait and see.

"Quiet down!" Yondu shouted to quiet the group as the raiders grew increasingly noisy. He then stared at Star-Lord and asked, "The Orb is our common property. What are you going to do to fix this?"

This can be seen as giving the adopted son a way out.

“Perhaps I can help you get the Orb back from Ronan,” Star-Lord replied after a moment’s thought.

Having spent over a decade navigating the cosmos and successfully grown into adulthood, Star-Lord is certainly not stupid.

However, given Star-Lord's abilities, the idea of ​​him trying to steal from Ronan, the Accuser, sounds like a joke. Whether Star-Lord himself believes what he's saying or not, his raiders, who know him well, certainly don't.

Someone crossed their arms and glanced back and forth between Star-Lord and Yondu, seemingly waiting to see the two adoptive father and son make a fool of themselves.

Some people were so surprised by how bizarre Star-Lord's "joke" was that their mouths dropped open.

The atmosphere suddenly became very strange.

Without the noise, the spaceship cabin became even quieter than before.

Yondu hadn't expected his adopted son to give such an answer. He frowned in surprise, then suddenly burst into laughter.

The raiders around him, each with their own thoughts, didn't understand what their leader was laughing about, but they figured they could just laugh along.

The spaceship cabin was instantly filled with all sorts of strange laughter again.

Even Star-Lord chuckled awkwardly.

“Not bad, as expected of my son, you have ambition. I believe you can help us get the Orb back.” Yondu laughed and stepped forward to pat Star-Lord on the shoulder.

In his mind, he was planning to give his adopted son a spaceship so that he could leave.

Whether to retrieve the Orb or simply run away is entirely up to Star-Lord's own decision.

It can be said that Yondu, the adoptive father, went to great lengths to prevent his adopted son from being executed immediately.

"Don't worry, as long as we have one spaceship, my companions and I will definitely be able to retrieve the Orb." Star-Lord was also very cooperative, making a timely promise.

At the same time, he didn't forget to wink playfully at Gamora beside him.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming amicable, a raider suddenly shouted, "Star-Lord's character is no longer trustworthy. We can let him go, but his 'accomplices' must stay as hostages. If you want everyone to leave, give us the Orb in exchange."

"That's right, he has a criminal record, we must keep the hostages..."

"I agree..."

……

Many raiders realized that Yondu was intentionally protecting his adopted son.

However, these raiders were confident that with them by their side, they could definitely get Star-Lord to meet Ronan the Accuser.

Whether they try to retrieve the spirit or go to their deaths, these people won't lose out.

But before that, they can collect some "interest".

Yondu's team, apart from the original squad that followed him, consisted of a mixed bag of members who joined later.

Unfortunately, small teams wanting to grow rapidly are bound to encounter such hidden dangers.

The members who joined later came from diverse ethnic backgrounds and naturally had very different aesthetic tastes.

Scarlet Witch, Gamora, and even Nebula with her mechanical prosthetics are all within their sights.

Taking advantage of the large number of people, some looters were already preparing to move forward and pull at them.

Yondu, despite being the leader, found it difficult to control the group under these circumstances.

Gamora's expression changed upon seeing this, and she immediately drew her dagger, ready to launch a counterattack at any moment.

Scarlet Witch first shielded Nebula behind her, then her eyes flashed red, indicating that she was ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

Just then, a pure white portal appeared in the cabin, and Mike emerged with the Destroyer and the Treant.

Subsequently, Mike, sensing something was amiss, began using his mind-reading ability on the raiders.

Not long after he understood the whole story, a cold smile crept onto his face.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of magical whips shot out from his hands.

Amidst the chaotic screams, a dozen or so malicious raiders who had squeezed to the front were shredded into pieces by long whips, their blood splattering everywhere.

"Are you alright?" After doing all this, Mike slowly walked up to Scarlet Witch.

His attitude was gentle, as if nothing had just happened.

What just happened, though it sounds like a long story, actually only took a few seconds.

Many people probably didn't realize it.

Those who reacted more quickly were probably wondering if they were dreaming.

"I'm fine~" The red light in Scarlet Witch's eyes faded, and she smiled as she stepped forward and hugged Mike's arm.

She looked like a petite, dependent woman.

"When I'm not around, you should act when necessary and not hold back. Even if you can't win, you can retreat first, and I'll help you get revenge." Having read some of the girl's thoughts, Mike offered her a few thoughtful words of advice.

What is strength for?

While Mike doesn't advocate provoking trouble, he's definitely not afraid of it either.

He is fiercely protective of his own and cannot bear to see his people suffer.

"I understand." Sensing the man's concern, the Scarlet Witch's smile grew even sweeter.

……

"Who are you? Why did you kill my people for no reason?" Yondu finally came to his senses. He gripped his weapon "Sentinel Arrow" defensively and stared intently at the handsome young man in front of him with a serious expression.

If he could, he would very much rather not go up against a "brutal" guy like Mike.

But as the raider leader who would be leading the team in the future, he also had to seek justice for the dead members.

Even if it's just for show, this process is still necessary.

"Dad, don't get agitated. Mike saved me, he's one of us." Star-Lord, who was also stunned by Mike's decisive actions, quickly spoke up to mediate when his adoptive father jumped in.

Given the strength Mike has demonstrated, Star-Lord is genuinely afraid that his adoptive father might accidentally offend the other party and be killed by them.

“This…” Yondu maintained a serious expression, but secretly gave his adopted son a thumbs up in his heart. He then said, “Thank you for saving my son, but you attacked us without cause. You must give us a reason.”

"Ha, you can't even manage your team properly, letting them offend my people. So what if they die?" Mike glanced around, and every raider who made eye contact with him quickly looked away.

Some others, feeling guilty, lowered their heads to their chests, looking as if they wanted to disappear into the ground.

Yondu was well aware of the situation within his team; he was grateful to Mike for helping him get rid of the pests.

However, due to his status, he still had to adopt a tough stance.

Of course, this "toughness" was selective, so he didn't say anything, trying to avoid provoking Mike again.

"It seems the problem has been resolved. Now I'm ready to leave with my men. Does anyone have any objections?" Mike asked calmly.

"No, no, it was Cruz and the others who were being sarcastic just now..."

"Yes, those black sheep deserved to die..."

……

This time, the raiders were much more "docile".

Some people even went so far as to find excuses for Mike, this plague, in order to get rid of him as quickly as possible.

Over there, Yondu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and moved aside.

The guy who can cultivate someone like Star-Lord must be a very shrewd and calculating old hand.

However, Mike didn't need anyone to make way for him. With one arm around Scarlet Witch, he casually drew a line with his other hand, and another pure white portal appeared in front of him.

It went straight to his new spaceship parked next to him.
