Frieza grabbed Vegeta by the hair and pounded his back with his fists, sneering, "Well? Regretting your foolishness now?"
With that, Frieza knocked Vegeta to the ground with a punch. "I thought you were an exception, so I treated you with extra care. But you're just like all the other stupid monkeys."
