Discussing Life with King Vegeta

King Vegeta did not react much to these words, merely sitting quietly upon his throne while a faint, icy glint appeared in his eyes as he looked at Saigo.

Instead, it was the guards standing to one side below the steps who immediately roared in anger: "Insolence! How dare you defy the orders of King Vegeta!?"

"Noisy!" Saigo glanced at the four guards and muttered a single word.

In the next instant, to the astonishment of everyone present, he appeared right in front of them.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Following four consecutive, sharp, dull thuds, the four guards collapsed to the ground.

"What?!"

Tarble and King Vegeta were filled with shock, never having expected Saigo to strike so suddenly. Seeing the strength and speed Saigo displayed made them realize that his combat power was immense.

King Vegeta felt more fear than anything else; he stood up abruptly and demanded loudly: "Saigo, are you trying to rebel?"

It must be said that King Vegeta still possessed some cunning.

Realizing that he was likely no match for Saigo, he simply shouted to attract the attention of others outside the throne room.

King Vegeta had wanted to attack, but upon remembering that his own strength was not much greater than that of his personal guards, he was forced to suppress the urge to strike.

"Saigo, what are you doing? Stop at once!" After recovering from his shock, Tarble also shouted in terror.

He felt that Saigo was courting his own death.

Saigo said calmly: "King Vegeta, if you keep shouting, I will kill you and your son immediately. I believe you can see that killing the lot of you would be effortless for me!"

As he spoke, he climbed the steps one by one until he reached the very top. He arrived before the throne and, under Tarble's shocked gaze and King Vegeta's furious glare, sat right down.

Looking at King Vegeta, who was clenching his teeth so hard that the veins on his forehead were bulging, Saigo said leisurely: "Do you want to know why I am so powerful?"

"Do you want to know how much combat power I have right now?"

It was not that Saigo insisted on persuading King Vegeta in this manner, but rather that in previous simulations, using a gentle approach had been too exhausting, and he had ended up having to use force to reach an agreement anyway.

Saigo was now taking the direct route, saving himself a lot of useless effort.

King Vegeta still cared for Tarble; taking advantage of the moment Saigo was speaking, he flashed to Tarble's side to shield him, his expression cycling through fear, surprise, confusion, and curiosity.

Finally, he asked with a grave expression: "Saigo, what is your true purpose in doing this? You might as well say it; I... I will do my utmost to satisfy you!"

Although he was concerned about the combat power Saigo mentioned, he could not fathom Saigo's goal, and since Saigo's strength was so great, preserving his life was his primary objective.

At the same time, King Vegeta had already passed a death sentence on the nursery attendant in his heart:

You bastard!

You actually reported that he only had a combat power of just over 1,000!

Then how do you explain the strength he is displaying now, which is even higher than mine?

Execution!

He must be executed!

You damned piece of trash!

Saigo knew that as a king, one would inevitably have some schemes, and he recognized this as King Vegeta's stalling tactic.

It was not that he feared a human-wave tactic, but rather that he wanted to resolve the issue of King Vegeta abdicating the throne quickly so he could return to his training.

Although his current strength was enough to sweep across the entire Planet Vegeta, for other true powerhouses in the universe, this level of strength was far from enough!

"King Vegeta, there is no need to play tricks on me. Even if you call in more people, they will not be my match.

My combat power is higher than you can imagine; the current scouters, which only have an upper limit of 10,000, cannot measure my true strength!"

King Vegeta broke into a cold sweat upon hearing this, but he still stubbornly retorted: "That is impossible! You cannot have a combat power over 10,000!

Hmph!

Stop playing these games and state your purpose! Don't try to scare me with such lies!"

"Whether it is a lie or not, why don't you try it yourself and see?" Saigo looked down at King Vegeta from his high position, a smile curling at the corners of his mouth. "As long as you defeat me, I will submit to your judgment, but if you lose..."

He paused deliberately for a moment. King Vegeta subconsciously clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, glaring hatefully at Saigo up above, and made a decision in an instant.

He blurted out: "If I lose, I will submit to your judgment as well, even if it means letting you become the King of the Saiyans. But Tarble has nothing to do with this; let him go!"

A death match.

This was quite common among Saiyans.

Usually, if two Saiyans had a grudge, they could engage in a duel; the winner lived, and the loser died.

Survival of the fittest and respect for the strong were the truths the Saiyans upheld.

Saigo shook his head upon hearing this. "No! This has nothing to do with Tarble to begin with; regardless of who wins or loses, it does not concern him!"

As he spoke, Saigo flew down and hovered opposite King Vegeta.

"Come, let us only test our hand-to-hand combat skills. Given my current strength, I assume you wouldn't want me to use energy attacks, would you!?"

King Vegeta's expression was extremely grave as he said without looking back, "Tarble, get out of here! Remember, don't let anyone in!"

King Vegeta deliberately emphasized his tone at the end.

"Ah? Yes! Father!" Tarble responded blankly before turning and walking out.

It was unclear whether he could grasp the true intentions of King Vegeta.

Once Tarble had left, a tense atmosphere enveloped King Vegeta and Saigo as they stood facing one another.

"Ha—"

BOOM!

With a violent roar, King Vegeta instantly unleashed a powerful aura. The intense energy formed invisible blades of wind that ravaged the surroundings, as he confidently believed that he, at full power, was something this ignorant brat before him could not resist.

While powering up, King Vegeta observed Saigo's expression, only to find that Saigo's face remained completely devoid of emotion, which only stoked the fires of rage within him even further!

"Don't look down on me!"

"I am King Vegeta!"

"Prepare to die!"

King Vegeta launched his attack with lightning speed, his fists and kicks as fierce as a storm, each strike aimed directly at a vital point.

Yet, Saigo dodged every single one with effortless ease.

As time passed, King Vegeta's attacks became increasingly disorganized.

It was obvious that after swinging at empty air for so long, he was panicking!

Meanwhile, Saigo dodged every one of his attacks with ease, even finding the spare time to throw out a taunt.

"Is this the extent of the Saiyan King's strength? You disappoint me! The Saiyan bloodline in your veins is nothing but a disgrace to the Saiyans!"

Upon hearing these words from Saigo, King Vegeta became even more incensed. "Shut up!"

"What kind of skill is it to only dodge! If you have the guts, then strike back and show me!"

Having lived two lifetimes, this was the first time he had ever heard someone make such a request.

"Heh~"

Saigo let out a soft chuckle, responding as he dodged another attack: "I have always enjoyed granting others their wishes, so I shall satisfy your request!"

Before the words had even faded!

BANG!

A dull, crisp sound rang out!
