"Go back and train hard. The next time I see you, I might just beat you to death!" Soya shook his fist.
The Bat Monster nodded vigorously.
"You should be thanking me. Look at how my companion has wrecked this planet. I'm a good person—I haven't killed a single monster!" Soya said with a smile.
The Bat Monster: "..."
You might as well just kill me.
Why do I feel like what you're asking of me is just too difficult?
"Off you go." Soya waved a hand, signaling that the Bat Monster could get lost.
The Bat Monster let out a long sigh of relief, beat his wings hard, and quickly fled.
As he left, the Bat Monster cast a resentful glance at Raditz.
It was all that brat's fault. He'd beaten me so badly.
Why did that brat look so weak now?
Should I take this chance to sneak up on him and swat him to death?
No, no. The demon beside him is too terrifying. I'd better wait for another chance.
In the end, the Bat Monster didn't attack Raditz by surprise.
"Hey, Soya, you're really letting that guy go?" Raditz raised his hand and aimed at the fleeing Bat Monster.
"What are you trying to do? With your battle power, you'd just be tickling him if you attacked." Soya replied.
Raditz: "..."
Raditz wanted to die.
Who was responsible for leaving me with this little battle power?
If it weren't for you, would I have so little battle power left?
"Negative Emotion Points from Raditz +999!"
"But seriously... It's been three hours already. Why hasn't my battle power recovered?" Raditz's eyes were almost brimming with tears. He really wanted to burst into sobs.
"Wait a little longer," Soya said thoughtfully.
"How much longer?" Raditz sniffed.
"Wait a day," Soya replied.
"I'll recover after a day?" Raditz asked excitedly.
"If you haven't recovered after a day, then there's probably nothing you can do. You'll have to train back up on your own," Soya said with a sigh.
Raditz rolled his eyes and went limp, nearly fainting.
Listen to yourself. Does that sound like something a person would say?
"Negative Emotion Points from Raditz +999!"
Soya was delighted.
Those were guaranteed increases in battle power!
Let the Negative Emotion Points come even more fiercely!
In another area.
Vegeta and Kuri had nearly finished clearing out the monsters in the area.
"Thank you, Prince Vegeta!" Kuri kept thanking him. "I'm really sorry. I don't think I helped much."
"Hmph." Vegeta snorted and ignored Kuri.
"Hey, what's that?" Kuri turned his head and suddenly spotted a shooting star streaking across the distant sky.
Vegeta looked in that direction.
"Is... is that a spaceship?" Kuri was stunned. "Isn't that one of our Saiyan spaceships? Who's here?"
"It should be one of Frieza's men." Vegeta's brow furrowed slightly.
Kuri quickly pressed a button on his Scouter.
When he saw the other person's battle power, Kuri sucked in a sharp breath, his face turning deathly pale.
"What is it?" Vegeta asked.
"T-that guy's battle power is 17,000!" Kuri trembled all over in fright.
Vegeta's expression turned grave, and he hurriedly checked the other person's battle power on his Scouter.
Sure enough, the reading showed that the other person's battle power had reached 17,000.
Who was he?
What was he doing here?
"Rumble!"
The spherical mini spaceship slammed into the ground nearby, leaving a crater like a meteor impact.
The entire ground shook violently.
"Whoosh!"
Cui flew out of the spaceship and hovered high in the air. He immediately used his Scouter to find Vegeta and the others, the corners of his mouth lifting into a faint, confident smile.
Lord Frieza told me to eliminate every Saiyan except Vegeta, Nappa, Raditz, and Soya.
But since I'm here, I'll beat up Vegeta first.
Isn't that brat supposed to be the most talented warrior among the Saiyans?
Let's see just how strong you are!
"Whoosh!"
Cui turned into a streak of light in midair and flew toward Vegeta and Kuri at tremendous speed.
In just a dozen seconds, Cui was hovering above Vegeta, looking down at him and Kuri.
"Who are you?" Vegeta looked up and asked warily. "Did Frieza send you?"
"No." Cui smiled faintly, descended from the sky, and landed in front of Vegeta.
Vegeta's expression changed slightly.
If this guy hadn't been sent by Frieza, then what was going on?
"I happened to be passing by. My Scouter picked up a powerful battle power in this area, so I came to take a look." Cui smiled. He'd already come up with his excuse.
Lord Frieza ordered me to secretly eliminate every Saiyan except Vegeta, Nappa, Raditz, and Soya.
So I can't say Lord Frieza sent me.
Lord Frieza has even bigger plans!
If I ruin Lord Frieza's plans, he'll beat me to death!
"Were you really just passing by?" Vegeta's face darkened.
That excuse was a little too far-fetched!
I'm starting to think Frieza really did send you!
"You're the Saiyan prince, Vegeta, right? The one hailed as the most talented Saiyan warrior. I'm right, aren't I?" Cui didn't continue the previous topic. Instead, he looked Vegeta over with interest.
"Hmph. What exactly are you trying to say?" Vegeta snorted coldly, his expression icy, though his palms were sweating.
This guy's battle power is 2,000 higher than mine!
If we fight, I'll have to catch him off guard!
"There's plenty I could say!" Cui chuckled. "I hear the Saiyans are a warrior race, and you're hailed as their most talented warrior! How about we two have a little match?"
"Hmph. I'd be happy to oblige." Vegeta wasn't afraid in the least.
If all else failed, he could turn into a Great Ape.
Unfortunately, this planet had no moon.
It seemed he could only find a way to create an Artificial Full Moon.
"By the way, I'm the prince of Cui Planet, and I'm the most talented warrior of my race, which is named after our planet!" Cui smiled, hands on his hips, his expression mocking.
"Oh? Is that so?" Vegeta snorted. "What does that have to do with me?"
"Then let's have a proper match between two princes!" Cui's smile grew smugger. He pointed at his Scouter. "But just so you know, there's a 2,000-point difference between our battle powers, so be careful! I won't go easy on you! Of course, you can rest assured—I won't kill you!"
Kuri trembled with fear beside them.
What should I do? What should I do?
Should I make a run for it now?
