After hearing Leo's words, Rocket clenched both hands into fists and punched hard to the side, his voice filled with resentment.
"How could this happen?!"
Rocket naturally didn't believe Leo would lie to him. There was no point in doing so. Leo could even produce Beck Stone worth tens or hundreds of millions, so he certainly wouldn't have any ulterior motive over something like this.
