Chapter 435: Negotiation (Third Update)
Chapter 435: Negotiation (Third Update)
"Since that's the case, I'll take you along as well!"
Nebula saw Jerry pull out the Cosmic Orb and immediately looked at him with a gaze that could only be described as one of disbelief.
She had never imagined that there could be such a foolish person in this universe. If the guy in front of her hadn't spoken, she wouldn't have known that Star-Lord and Gamora had sold the Cosmic Orb to him. Wasn't this confessing to his own guilt?
"Little girl, you're too arrogant. You think you can just take my subordinates and guests without any regard for me?"
Yondu whistled, and his Whistling Arrow immediately flew out from his waist and began circling nearby.
The over a hundred subordinates behind Yondu also drew their weapons, aiming at Nebula and the Kree soldiers who were hooded and concealed.
Nebula's eyes showed a trace of apprehension.
Yondu had been wanted by the Kree Twelve Tribes for a long time, yet he still managed to remain free. His strength was undoubtedly formidable, especially his exceptional ability to control the Whistling Arrow.
During her time on Contraxia, Nebula had heard many stories about Yondu and his fleet.
Nebula believed that the elite Kree soldiers she had brought along could handle the raiders behind Yondu, but dealing with Yondu himself was another matter entirely.
Moreover, she knew all too well that her sister, Gamora, was not someone to be underestimated. In all their years of combat, Nebula had never once defeated her.
However, despite her apprehension, she had the confidence to confront Yondu directly.
"Captain Yondu, as far as I know, you were long ago expelled from the real raider team. They won't fight for you against Ronan. You should think carefully about the consequences of leading your hard-earned fleet to fight for a traitor!"
After saying this, she turned to the raiders behind Yondu:
"And you, Ronan's powerful army is right above us. Think about whether you really want to sacrifice your lives for Yondu. If you help me capture these three, I can offer you three million units!"
To Nebula's disbelief, not only did Yondu remain unmoved, but his subordinates also exchanged glances and showed no signs of wavering.
This was incomprehensible to her because, according to the information she had gathered, some members of Yondu's fleet had long harbored grievances against him. These people were always money-driven and wouldn't pass up an opportunity to earn more.
Logically, at least half of Yondu's subordinates should have turned against him after her offer.
In fact, if things had gone as expected, the outcome would have been just as she imagined.
Unfortunately, she had overlooked one person: Jerry, who stood there with a calm demeanor, seemingly harmless.
Yondu treated Star-Lord like his own son, and he would never allow him to be captured by Ronan.
As for Yondu's subordinates, they might have wanted to side with Nebula, especially the ones with Shockface, but they were too afraid to do so!
Facing off against Ronan's army, they could always run if things got too tough. Ronan's target wasn't them, so they would likely survive.
But if they showed any disrespect to Jerry, they feared they would be turned into maggots and thrown into a pit of feces to die.
"It seems Yondu still loves you!"
Jerry patted Star-Lord's shoulder.
Having seen all the Marvel movies, Jerry knew that while Star-Lord had a complicated relationship with his fathers—fighting his adoptive father in the first Guardians of the Galaxy, his biological father in the second, and his father-in-law in Avengers: Endgame—he always found his way through.
But overall, among the three, it was only Yondu, the adoptive father, who truly loved Star-Lord and ultimately sacrificed himself to save him.
Star-Lord shrugged:
"I don't see it that way. He might just be trying to get on your good side so he can secure more big jobs from you in the future. Ow!"
Before Star-Lord could finish speaking, Yondu slapped the back of his head:
"You little brat, you really do know me!"
Seeing Yondu bickering with Star-Lord as if no one else was around, Nebula shivered with anger and whispered:
"Ronan, the negotiations have failed. I think you should make your move now!"
It turned out that Nebula's mechanical eye was already connected to the Darkstar, and everything that had happened since her arrival had been projected into the Darkstar's command room, where Ronan could see it all.
So as her words faded, the Darkstar and the numerous Necro-Ships began to move overhead.
The massive Darkstar and the countless Necro-Ships loomed over the city, creating a powerful sense of oppression that made everyone except Jerry feel like they were facing a formidable enemy.
However, at that moment, thousands of ships of various sizes and shapes, all bearing the same flame emblem, flew in from the distance to confront the Darkstar and the Necro-Ships.
At the same time, a tall, elderly man wearing two metal wrist guards, accompanied by a group of people in Ravager uniforms, approached the street:
"Little girl, tell your master Ronan that Contraxia does not welcome him. He should leave immediately with you and these disgusting Kree, or else don't blame me for making him stay here forever!"
"Stakar, you've already expelled Yondu from the Ravagers. Why are you opposing Ronan for his sake? And even if it comes to a fight, you'll likely be the ones to lose!"
Nebula's brow furrowed when she saw the leader of the Ravagers, Stakar, appear.
Initially, when she saw Star-Lord and Gamora finally show up, she thought today would go smoothly, but things turned out completely different from what she had expected.
Stakar glanced at Yondu and snorted:
"He is indeed a scoundrel, and the Horn of Liberty will never sound for him. The Light of Ogorde will never shine on his grave. But as long as he stands on this planet, he is under the protection of the Ravagers.
This is the Ravagers' territory. No one can forcibly take anyone away here without facing the Ravagers. And the Ravagers fear no enemy, especially not the Kree!"
Nebula's lips twitched involuntarily after hearing Stakar's response.
Are you kidding me? This planet is a haven for outlaws, and people die every day from all sorts of reasons, enough to fill a room. You Ravagers never came out to maintain order back then, but now you suddenly show up, clearly just to protect Yondu.
"Ronan, what do we do now?"
With Stakar protecting Yondu, Yondu protecting Star-Lord, and Star-Lord protecting Gamora, it seemed that Jerry, who had no one protecting him, was the easiest to handle.
At that moment, a beam of blue light shot down from the Darkstar in the sky. As the light disappeared, Ronan, wielding a Kree war hammer, and a large group of Kree soldiers appeared on the street:
"Stakar, I can leave without harming anyone, as long as he hands over the Cosmic Orb to me. Otherwise, it's war!"
Ronan pointed at Jerry, who was standing there.
