Frieza knew why the scouter had exploded. Old-model scouters did that when they detected particularly high Combat Power levels; it was a design flaw. The newer models had already corrected that issue.
However, the new scouters had not yet been widely issued as standard equipment. Even Frieza himself had used an old-model scouter on this outing, so he had no idea exactly how high the Combat Power of those people on the other side was.
As Frieza studied them curiously, he had no intention of giving orders. If his subordinates could not even handle a problem like this, there was no need to keep them around.

Among the group that had launched the attack on the screen, a short-haired man in black and purple raised a hand and gestured to the side, then flew off in the direction he had indicated without looking back.
The others, including Vegeta, followed that man away, while Frieza's side fell into an eerie silence.
"Ho ho ho, how interesting!"

Although Frieza could not judge the enemy's strength through sensing, his mind was still clear: if they could destroy a scouter, their Combat Power was definitely above twenty thousand.
Zarbon's Combat Power was only twenty-three thousand. If it had been Vegeta alone, that would have been
