Leaving Planet Vegeta

"What did you hear?" Frieza smiled at the underling who had just entered.

"Lord Frieza, I didn't hear anything. Actually, I'm deaf," the underling hurriedly said as he dropped to his knees.

"Oh? Is that so?" Frieza smiled, and two beams of light shot from his eyes.

"Sizzle..."

In an instant, Frieza's underling was reduced to ashes by the two beams, dead beyond doubt.

Berryblue wore a smile and showed no fear, as though she had long been accustomed to such things.

"By the way, how is that former Saiyan prodigy doing?" Frieza asked curiously.

"Uh... Great Lord Frieza, that person just now came in to report on someone named Luo Tian." Berryblue wiped away sweat.

Frieza: "..."

One minute later.

Another of Frieza's underlings hurried in and gave a brief report on Luo Tian.

"Oh? His battle power dropped from 20,000 to 100? And it only took a year? He truly is a genius." Frieza smiled at the underling.

The underling did not even dare raise his head and remained honestly kneeling there.

"I was rather looking forward to it. I even naively thought his battle power could rise from 20,000 to 100,000." Frieza shook his head in disappointment.

"Lord Frieza, although Saiyans are a warrior race, unless they transform into Great Apes, their base battle power cannot possibly rise that high." Berryblue gave a disdainful smile.

Frieza did not pursue the subject and instead asked with a smile, "By the way, how many Saiyans have returned to Planet Vegeta by now?"

"In about another month, nearly all the Saiyans outside will have returned. Only a very small number will need more time to make their way back," Berryblue replied.

"I cannot wait that long. Then we will act one month from now." Frieza's smile grew increasingly sinister.

"Would this not arouse the survivors' suspicions?" Berryblue asked.

"Ho ho ho... We can just say they were unfortunately struck by a massive meteorite, can't we?" Frieza burst into wild laughter, bending over as he laughed.

As he laughed, Frieza suddenly spotted a small spaceship shooting up from Planet Vegeta into the starry sky. It streaked through the air in a bright trail of flame and sped toward a distant Starfield.

Frieza's smile froze on his face, and his expression darkened.

"Investigate immediately! Find out who is bold enough to leave Planet Vegeta at a time like this!" Berryblue hurriedly ordered the underlings.

The results of the investigation came quickly.

"Oh? Vegeta? Luo Tian?" Frieza stroked his chin thoughtfully, his gaze growing colder.

"Lord Frieza, should we shoot them down?" Berryblue bowed respectfully before asking, though she seemed somewhat concerned. "But if we make a move against their prince at a time like this, it will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble. The Saiyans who are still returning from elsewhere may stop coming back, and your plan will..."

Berryblue did not finish, but her meaning was already clear.

"Let them go." Frieza shook his head with a gloomy expression.

Indeed, if they acted now and the Saiyan prince died, the Saiyans who received the news would no longer return to Planet Vegeta.

A brief silence followed.

"Berryblue, have you ever heard of raising pigs?" Frieza suddenly laughed.

"What do you mean, Lord Frieza?" Berryblue looked completely puzzled.

"When raising pigs, you first fatten them up nice and plump. Then they taste better when you eat them." Frieza smiled as he watched the small spaceship fly away.

"Lord Frieza, you mean... you want to raise Vegeta and the others like pigs?" Berryblue suddenly understood.

"That is exactly what I mean. Let them live." Frieza smiled.

"Are there not a few too many pigs?" Berryblue asked.

Frieza thought about it and did feel there were too many pigs. He ordered, "Then keep Vegeta and Luo Tian, and randomly keep two more Saiyans. Leaving four pigs in total will be enough."

"Hahaha, add one more and there would be as many as the Ginyu Force." Berryblue laughed heartily.

Just as she finished laughing, Captain Ginyu of the Ginyu Force strode in, black lines practically covering his forehead.

"Berryblue, you've gone too far. We're not pigs!" Ginyu glared at Berryblue with a dark expression.

"Hahaha, just joking, just joking!" Berryblue scratched her head awkwardly.

"Is there something you need?" Frieza turned to Ginyu.

"Lord Frieza, during the attack on Planet Vegeta, the Ginyu Force is willing to serve as the vanguard." Ginyu bowed.

"There is no need for such trouble. One Planet Destruction Bomb, and no one will be able to escape." Frieza waved a hand indifferently.

"You intend to destroy Planet Vegeta?" Ginyu said regretfully. "That planet has fairly good resources. Wouldn't it be a pity to destroy it?"

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Frieza's expression turned cold.

"Ah... I suddenly feel that I have not watched the fireworks of a planet's destruction in a very long time." Ginyu reacted swiftly and hurriedly smiled.

The coldness on Frieza's face gradually turned into a smile.

"Whoosh!"

As they spoke, another spherical spaceship rose into the starry sky and passed near Frieza's ship.

Frieza: "..."

"Who is it this time?" Frieza narrowed his eyes.

"Lord Frieza, it's a Saiyan infant with a battle power of only... 2," one of his subordinates immediately reported.

"Should we shoot it down?" Berryblue asked for instructions.

"Battle power of only 2?" Frieza immediately laughed. "Let it go. Even if it grows up, it will amount to nothing."

Inside Luo Tian's spaceship.

After flying for a little over an hour.

Luo Tian turned around and looked behind them, only to discover that the Frieza Force's spaceships had not followed.

"Prince Vegeta, which planet are we going to next?" Raditz asked.

"Luo Tian, what do you think?" Vegeta turned to ask Luo Tian.

"How many spherical spaceships do we have aboard our ship?" Rather than answer, Luo Tian casually asked a question.

"How many? I think there are four." Raditz rubbed his head as he answered. "After all, this ship is not that large. It only carries four of those spherical mini spaceships."

"Then that's perfect. Aside from Vegeta and me, the four of you can each take one and leave." Luo Tian gave the order.

Raditz's smile gradually froze.

Nappa looked utterly stunned.

The other two Saiyans were equally confused.

"Hey, Luo Tian, aren't you planning to bring them along?" Vegeta lowered his voice and asked Luo Tian.

Luo Tian nodded.

What was the point of bringing so many people?

There was not much meaning in it.

Besides, they would make too large a target and would easily be discovered by Frieza's people.

"Did you hear him? You four, get the hell out of here!" Vegeta made a prompt decision and rudely ordered Raditz, Nappa, and the other two.

Nappa: "..."

Raditz: "..."

The other two Saiyans: "..."

So you called us to form a group, only for you two to go off on your own?

"That's too much!" Raditz muttered, but he did not dare disobey and immediately entered a spherical spaceship.

Nappa and the other two Saiyans likewise entered the other three spaceships.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The four spaceships launched from the small spaceship, leaving behind four bright trails of flame in space.
