Shadao closed his eyes and waited for a moment. He felt his head and realized he had not been blasted away. He immediately opened his eyes and saw Lord Krillin standing before him, tears instantly filling his eyes.
Krillin stood silently in front of Shadao. With a gentle flick of one finger, Shaz's Kamehameha vanished into thin air.
Krillin turned to Shadao and shouted, "What are you howling for? You're not dead yet!" Though he said that, he greatly admired Shadao's performance.
When Shadao saw Krillin, he rushed forward, grabbed Krillin's hand, and wailed loudly, "Lord Krillin, you finally came! Otherwise..."
From afar, Shaz found the sight of the two-meter-tall Shadao clutching the 160-centimeter Krillin rather striking. But he stared at Krillin with extreme apprehension. Krillin had effortlessly blocked his Kamehameha with just one finger—how terrifying did that make his strength?
Shaz did not dare think any further. His body began trembling uncontrollably, and huge beads of sweat dripped from his head as he considered turning around and fleeing.
Krillin slowly turned around and looked at Shaz in the distance. Under that gaze, Shaz felt as though he had been nailed to the spot, unable to move in the slightest.
Krillin swayed as he flew toward Shaz. The moment Shaz saw Krillin coming toward him, his face changed drastically and turned deathly pale. Before death, everyone was insignificant, especially when they knew death was imminent.
Krillin stopped before Shaz and gazed at him indifferently. Shaz trembled all over. Seeing that Krillin had not moved for a long while, he grew anxious and quietly asked, "M-my lord, may I leave?" Shaz looked at Krillin hopefully, wishing this great figure would spare him.
"What?" Krillin said loudly, casually placing a hand on Shaz's shoulder. Shaz was nearly frightened to tears. If Krillin's hand had not been on his shoulder, he would likely have fallen from the sky by now.
Shadao flew over and asked Krillin, "Lord Krillin, how should we deal with him?" As he spoke, he made a throat-slitting gesture with his hand. Shaz sucked in a cold breath, fainted, and immediately fell to the ground with a bang.
"Damn, that really is an instant-kill gesture. Acting cool is way too tiring. Forget it, I'm done pretending." Krillin gestured for Shadao to go down and wake him up.
Shadao flew before Shaz and patted his face. "Hey, wake up! Shaz showed no sign of waking, so Shadao slapped him hard twice and shouted, "Let's see if you wake up now!"
Shaz slowly opened his eyes, looking confused. "Who am I? Where am I?" But after remembering his situation, his face drooped miserably again.
Krillin said to Shaz indifferently, "Do it yourself, or shall we do it for you?"
Shaz took one last look at this wonderful world. After struggling for a long time, he finally made up his mind and was about to use an Energy Blast to end his life when Krillin impatiently said, "Why so much nonsense? Shadao, tie him up. We're going back!"
Shaz was stunned when he heard Krillin's words. He was not going to kill him?
"Yes, Lord Krillin!" Shadao said, looking at Krillin with reverence.
Krillin slowly flew ahead, thinking about how he could persuade those Mudball Star Aliens to willingly hand over the Perseus Stone once they arrived. This was difficult. Who told him he was one of the good guys? Krillin could not help rubbing his gleaming bald head.
Shadao dragged Shaz along behind him with an unknown rope, constantly shouting, "Hurry up! Shaz, Shaz—I think you should be called Blind Man instead! You dared come to Dirt Clod Star to cause trouble. Coming to Dirt Clod Star was bad enough, but you even dared provoke Lord Krillin. You're really tired of living!"
Shaz loudly defended himself from behind, "Lord Shadao, I only just arrived on Dirt Clod Star. I've never killed any of your people! Besides, I would never dare provoke Lord Krillin!"
"Enough nonsense. Since you're a prisoner, you should have the awareness of a prisoner." Though Shadao said that, he loosened the rope in his hand a little. Clearly, being called Lord Shadao had made him feel rather pleased with himself. More importantly, Shaz had said he had never killed any of his people. Shadao was kind by nature, but words alone could not be trusted. They still needed to confront his people face-to-face.
Krillin stopped at the mine from earlier. The mine was now completely empty. Seeing this, Shadao shouted, "Avila! Avila!" because Avila was the only name he knew.
Shadao's voice echoed through the empty grounds. Then, a small figure emerged from behind a rock. With bright eyes and pale yellow hair, the girl cautiously peeked out from behind the rock. When she saw Shadao, she smiled and ran toward him.
The girl's father looked anxious behind her. "Avila, come back! Don't go out!"
Avila turned back toward her father with a brilliant smile. "It's okay. It's Brother Shadao!"
The girl's father looked utterly confused. "Who is Shadao? Could he be that clansman from earlier?"
Avila ran up to Shadao, grabbed his hand, and asked with stars in her eyes, "Brother Shadao, did you drive away the invaders?"
Shadao looked at Avila's expectant eyes and nodded firmly. "Mm, that's right! Your brother drove the invaders away. They won't enslave us again."
"Foolish! You have no idea how powerful those people from the universe truly are. You'll get everyone killed this way." Avila's father walked out from the corner, speaking in a tone somewhat similar to that old man from before.
"No, we are saved!" The old man Shadao had rescued earlier slowly approached from behind, forcefully refuting Avila's father.
When Avila's father saw the old man, he hurriedly called out, "Father, how are you feeling?" As he spoke, he rushed forward to support him.
The old man waved his hand to show that he was fine, then continued, "Shadao brought reinforcements. Galactic Headquarters has sent someone!" He grew somewhat excited as he said this.
"What? The Galactic Patrol really sent someone?" Avila's father cried out in disbelief.
Krillin could only shake his head helplessly. Was Galactic Headquarters really that famous? Perhaps the people of Dirt Clod Star had been cut off from the outside world for too long. Galactic Headquarters? Hah, these people really had all become "blind men."
Shadao declared firmly, "That's right. Lord Krillin is right up ahead. He's Galactic Headquarters' strongest expert!"
Upon hearing Shadao's words, Avila's father nearly wept with joy. He raised his head and cried loudly, "We're finally saved!"
"Come out, everyone! We're saved! Galactic Headquarters has come to rescue us!" Avila's father shouted behind him. Within moments, heads began appearing everywhere, accompanied by doubtful voices. "Galactic Headquarters sent someone?"
A burly man repeated, "Galactic Headquarters sent someone?" Then word that Galactic Headquarters had sent someone began to spread. In an instant, people crowded out, and every Mudball Star Alien who had been hiding emerged, crying loudly, "Galactic Headquarters has sent someone to save us!"
