Is the Federation going to fall?
Upon hearing these words, Groot abruptly came somewhat to his senses.
The Blood Clan has attacked the Federation; damn it, how could they suddenly violate the treaty?
Groot had just realized the gravity of the situation and had yet to figure out what it had to do with Rebecca.
The waiting councillors had already started speaking out.
"Groot, are you trying to get us all killed?"
"Why did I ever listen to someone like you and make such a mistake?"
"Groot, you maggot of the Federation..."
"You are a disgrace to the Marshall family."
The torrent of insults nearly knocked Groot off balance.
But he quickly realized the severity of the issue at hand.
Each of the councillors here was a cunning old fox, rushing to criticize him and disassociate from him, clearly attempting to prove something.
Could it be that the council, unable to find Rebecca, was looking to place the blame on his own head?
