Chapter 769

"I told you, I don't know what's going on!"

"You don't know because you don't want to know; you want to get rich off this!"

"I demand a seat at the table! I wear the flame emblem just like you all!"

"Even if you dress like us, you'll never hear the Horn of Freedom when you die, Yondu! And the colors of Ogord will never shine on your tombstone!"

After Scatha finished scolding him, he grabbed Yondu by the collar and said slowly in disappointment, "If you think... '900'... that I'd be happy to exile you... then you're wrong... you've broken all our hearts..."

"......."

Yondu was left speechless by these words, his gaze involuntarily dropping.

Seeing this, Scatha said no more, released his collar, and left with his men.

Leaving Yondu alone, standing silently in the snow....

"Looks like you can't explain your way out of this." A playful voice came from behind him.

Yondu lifted his eyes and turned to look—

He discovered a young man, holding a bottle of wine in one hand and with his arms around the shoulders of two women, looking every bit the playboy.

And what this man was holding... weren't androids like everyone else had, but two living, breathing beauties.

The two women—one with fair skin and a calm expression, the other with emerald skin and a sharp gaze.......

Yondu took a few extra looks at the green-skinned one and quickly recognized her as the former interstellar fugitive—Gamora.

【To be able to hold Gamora like this, and another woman at the same time, this man must be no simple character......】

He thought to himself, then shifted his gaze to the man in the middle, and after a moment of recollection, he nodded in realization.

"I know you, that charlatan the Nova Corps has been promoting lately... You're not at the banquet on Xandar, so what business do you have coming to find me?"

"Charlatan?"

Ye Li raised an eyebrow as he heard this....... Is this how he's viewed across the stars now.....?

Isn't "charlatan" Richards' title......

"Heh~"

Gamora let out a light laugh when she heard Yondu address Ye Li that way.

Ye Li feigned displeasure, lifted the wine bottle, gently pressed the neck against her lips, and poured a mouthful, "What's so funny?"

Gamora: "Mmph....."

Seeing Ye Li flirting with a woman as if no one else were around, Yondu couldn't help but frown, "If there's nothing else, I'll be taking my leave."

"Don't be in such a rush..."

Bo~

Ye Li pulled the bottle away from her soft lips, took a drink, and said, "Why don't you explain a bit more to your old partners? For instance...... that you didn't actually hand Quill over to the buyer?"

"Saying these things is useless..... a mistake is a mistake....... I've made plenty of mistakes anyway......."

Yondu lifted his trench coat, revealing the whistle-arrow tucked at his waist, "Looks like there's no lucking out of this...... just like that kid Quill said..... he actually knows you......."

"Oh? So you were playing dumb just now."

Ye Li smiled and said, "I knew it; with that kid Star-Lord's personality, how could he not use my name to his advantage?"

"The Nova Corps has been hyping you up quite a bit...... better to avoid trouble than to invite it......"

Yondu's gaze turned serious, "But since it's come to this, I'd like to see how much substance you really have......."

Ye Li smiled indifferently, "Go ahead and try; if I move even once, I lose."

"I've seen plenty of arrogant people like you......."

As soon as Yondu finished speaking, he pursed his lips slightly and blew a whistle————

"Whoosh~".
