Abandoning Vegeta?

As Gran, Beerus, Shin the God of Destruction, and the other Gods vanished, the planet's chaotic Magnetic Field slowly began to calm down.

The sky no longer thundered, and the earth no longer shook!

Only Raditz, Nappa, and Vegeta, who was lying on the ground, remained on this planet.

Raditz held a quarter of a Senzu Bean and stared blankly for a while before quickly coming back to his senses.

"Giving me two choices?"

A strange curve formed at the corner of Raditz's mouth, and his little eyes gradually darkened.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"How has Vegeta treated me all these years? And now I'm supposed to choose whether to save him?"

"There's no need to choose at all, is there? Wouldn't it be better to keep this Senzu Bean for myself in case I need it to survive? How could I possibly save that damned Vegeta? Hahaha!"

Raditz's little face suddenly turned crazed.

Just as Gran had expected, given how Vegeta had treated Raditz and how many times he had considered abandoning him, there was no way Raditz would save Vegeta.

Besides, Raditz was also a cold-blooded Saiyan. How could he waste a miraculous healing item like a Senzu Bean on someone else?!

"Pah! Let him fend for himself here. Nappa, let's go! If we don't leave now, the Ginyu Force will land!"

Raditz rose into the air, preparing to fly toward where their spaceship was buried.

However!

Nappa's cold, greedy voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Wait. You did the right thing by not saving Vegeta, but since you chose not to save him, the Senzu Bean in your hand is useless to you. Hand it over. That isn't something trash like you deserves to possess!"

Upon hearing that, Raditz's pupils shrank sharply, and he clenched his little hand around the Senzu Bean.

This was the ruthlessness and cold-blooded nature of Saiyans. Without overwhelming strength to suppress them, as long as there was a conflict of interests, even a father and son could turn against each other!

Much less Raditz and Nappa now.

The Senzu Bean in Raditz's hand was a miraculous healing item capable of bringing someone back from the brink of death. How could Nappa possibly give it up so easily?

Especially when the other party was trash with only 600 Battle Power!

"Nappa, what do you mean? This was a choice Gran made me make. Since I chose to keep the Senzu Bean, then it belongs to me!"

Little Raditz slowly turned around and spoke while suppressing his fear.

"Hahaha, don't you know how strong you are? You think you deserve such a miraculous bean?"

Nappa cracked his neck and stretched his limbs, then sneered. "If I were you, I'd obediently hand over the Senzu Bean. Otherwise, you can stay here and keep Vegeta company!"

"You..."

Raditz's chest heaved violently as he gritted his teeth. "Didn't you hear what Gran and the others said just now? Gran has become a Deity. He made me choose, and you dare defy him?"

"..."

Nappa also recalled the conversation Gran and the others had just had. Clearly, those people were all legendary Deities.

Just then!

Rumble—!

The medium-sized spaceship in the sky rapidly descended!!

"Damn it, the Ginyu Force is about to land! If we don't leave now, we're both finished!"

Raditz wore a pained expression as he split his quarter of a Senzu Bean in half again. He tossed one half to Nappa, then roared:

"I gave this to you willingly. This doesn't count as disobeying those Deities' orders. Why aren't you leaving yet?!!!"

"Hahaha, at least you know what's good for you, kid!"

Nappa caught the Senzu Bean, and the greed on his face quickly faded.

As for Raditz's remaining half of the Senzu Bean, because of Gran's order, he truly did not dare covet it anymore.

The two stopped wasting words. They directly abandoned Vegeta and quickly flew toward where their spaceship was buried.

However!

Rumble—!

The roar of the ship's engines grew louder and louder as the spaceship drew closer and closer to the ground.

"Damn it, we're too late!"

After flying some distance away, Nappa and Raditz stopped.

Their spaceship was hidden on the other side of the planet. At their speed, they simply could not make it there before the other ship landed.

"Arghhh!!!"

Nappa was nearly going mad. "That's the Ginyu Force! Once they land, we're dead for sure!"

"Dead for sure? Isn't that your fault? If you hadn't fought me over the Senzu Bean just now, we'd have already gotten on the spaceship and escaped!"

Raditz no longer feared Nappa at this point, and he roared hysterically.

"Raditz, you dare talk to me like that? You're courting death!!"

"Then let me die! Once the Ginyu Force lands, you'll die too! Why would I still be afraid of you now?"

"You..."

Nappa clenched his fists tightly. He wanted to kill Raditz, but just as Raditz had said, even if he killed him, he still would not be able to escape.

Rumble—!

The spaceship was getting closer and closer!

"Damn it, what do we do? Raditz, hurry up and think of something!!"

"What other way is there? Gran is gone, and Vegeta is about to die. With just the two of us, even if we have Senzu Beans to save our lives, each of us can only survive once. There's no way we'll make it!"

As he spoke, Raditz suddenly changed direction, catching Nappa off guard.

"Did you think of something?" Nappa looked at the little brat expectantly.

"I thought of an idea that barely counts as an idea. I know it definitely won't let us beat the Ginyu Force, but compared to the two of us weaklings, it can at least raise our zero percent chance of survival by the tiniest bit!"

Little Raditz's expression unexpectedly began to calm down.

Nappa roared, "Then hurry up and say it?!"

"Let's go save Vegeta!"

Raditz closed his little eyes and sighed.

"What?"

Nappa said incredulously, "How did that scum Vegeta treat us before? Were you blind? And you actually want to..."

"But what other choice do we have now?"

Raditz directly shouted, his voice hoarse with desperation. "I only have 600 Battle Power, and you only have 2,500 Battle Power. If we wake Vegeta up, we'll at least have his 6,000 Battle Power fighting alongside us!!!"

Little Raditz's voice made Nappa's ears buzz. Although Vegeta usually called Nappa a big dumb brute, even he could weigh the pros and cons at a time like this.

The weakest of the Ginyu Force had over ten thousand Battle Power. Even combined, they could not possibly be a match for them.

But if they had one more Vegeta, even if they still died in the end, they should be able to live one second longer!

"Damn it, after all this, we still have to save that scum Vegeta!!!!"

Nappa was unwilling, but he said nothing more because he could not think of any other way.

He immediately turned around and flew back toward Vegeta.

Seeing Nappa move, Raditz quickly followed him.

One kilometer away from where Gran had transformed earlier, Little Vegeta still lay there, barely alive.

Gran's words from earlier kept echoing in his mind.

"Only three years have passed, and you forgot me so quickly?"

"It's me. I'm Gran. I came back for revenge!"

"You're still as arrogant, cruel, and heartless as ever!"

"You think you deserve to be the prince of our Saiyan Clan? You abandoned me three years ago, so what about the other members of your squad three years later? Did you abandon them too?!"

"I'm the shame of the Saiyan Clan? Then what kind of trash are you?"

"How does it feel to be abandoned by your companions?!"

"Hahaha, let's see whether Raditz will save scum like you. Enjoy the despair I went through back then!"

"..."

Do I really deserve to die?

Maybe I really do deserve to die...

Vegeta felt as though the final flame of his life was about to go out.

Suddenly!

A warm current spread through every part of his body.

This... what is happening? Why do I feel like I'm coming back to life?

Could it be the Senzu Bean Gran mentioned?!

Vegeta suddenly opened his eyes. The instant he did, he saw the trembling Raditz and Nappa.

"I actually recovered?!"

Vegeta found it hard to believe. Raditz had actually saved him!

Vegeta slowly stood up from the ground and looked at Raditz and Nappa. The killing intent around him grew increasingly intense.

"You didn't know this, did you? I heard everything you said just now!!!"

"How dare you?"

The veins on Vegeta's forehead bulged, and his eyes seemed ready to pop from their sockets. "You actually wanted to betray me!!!!"

In Vegeta's heart, only he was allowed to betray others. He would never permit anyone else to betray him, even though Raditz had just saved him!

"Wait, Vegeta!"

Raditz hurriedly pointed at the spaceship that had already landed in the distance and said fearfully, "The Ginyu Force has come for us!!"
