Brother Will Show You the Fireworks (Happy New Year!)

Actually, setting aside the fact that the Red Ribbon Army is an evil organization, Commander Black could be considered a good man!

First of all, as a dominant figure in the early days of the Dragon Ball world, Commander Black never once thought about wiping out the government forces to unify the world, even though his military strength was more than enough to achieve that.

Secondly, while it is true that Commander Black's subordinates were mostly treacherous scoundrels, he personally ordered the execution of the majority of them. Doesn't that count as rooting out evil?

So, from another perspective, the Red Ribbon Army's commander, Black, was actually a great guy! He had one insignificant dream: to grow to a height of 1.6 meters, and that was all! He worked day and night for this dream, and in the process, he even eliminated quite a few dangerous individuals for the sake of the people! The bitterness and twists of his journey are truly beyond words; if one were to write an inspirational novel based on this subject, it would definitely be a bestseller!

Thinking of this, Sun Yu really couldn't bear to kill him personally, so he told the soldiers present, "Actually, your Commander Black only collected the Dragon Balls because he wanted to grow taller! As for conquering the world... we'll talk about that when we have time!"

Silence. The entire scene fell into a dead silence once again, save for the sound of Bulma licking her lollipop with a "smack, smack." Everyone's gaze shifted toward Commander Black, creating a very eerie atmosphere.

"Commander, tell me this isn't true!" Veins popped out on Officer Black's forehead. He stared fixedly at Commander Black, hoping to get the correct answer.

"Of... of course! This Seat has never cared about his own height..." Commander Black had lost his earlier bluster; he shrank to the side, stammering as he tried to cover it up.

Sun Yu didn't know when he had also taken out a lollipop to lick, and he didn't forget to add fuel to the fire: "Hey, you little black short-legs, explaining it like that is clearly just trying to cover up the truth, you know!"

Hearing Sun Yu's words, Commander Black immediately shrieked, "You're the one with short legs! Your whole family has short legs!"

Although Sun Yu was annoyed at being cursed by Commander Black, he decided not to lower himself to the level of a man who was about to die.

With things having reached this point, Officer Black's face darkened. He drew his sidearm, aimed it at Commander Black's head, and shouted to the crowd, "According to the regulations of the Red Ribbon Army, the entire army must take world conquest as its duty. Those who violate this regulation shall be executed without mercy!"

"Execute without mercy!" "Execute without mercy!"

The soldiers, who had been suppressing their anger for a long time, were incited by Officer Black and immediately let out a roar like a mountain landslide or a tsunami.

"Please... please, don't kill me!" Commander Black no longer had a shred of his commander-like demeanor. He looked at Officer Black in sheer terror, humbly begging him to spare his life.

However, Officer Black remained completely unmoved. He pulled the trigger in an instant, and with a "bang," Commander Black slumped over and rolled off the command platform.

Officer Black looked coldly at Commander Black's corpse, a hidden, sinister smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. Soon, he straightened his expression and announced to the excited army, "An army cannot go a day without a commander. Though I am untalented, I nominate myself as the leader. What does everyone think?"

As soon as his voice fell, the entire army chanted Black's name.

"Black!" "Black!" "Black!"...

Now successfully in power, Leader Black looked at Sun Yu with a smile and said from his high position, "Mr. Sun, you truly are a hero among youths. I wonder if you have any interest in joining our Red Ribbon Army? If you are willing, I can make you a deputy leader, and then you and I can split the world between us."

"You've been wanting to kill Commander Black for a long time just to take his place, haven't you?" Sun Yu said casually while licking his lollipop.

A cold glint flashed in Black's eyes as his intentions were exposed by Sun Yu, but he immediately put on a smiling face again and said, "Haha, Mr. Sun, you love to joke. As long as you hand over the Dragon Ball, I'll give you half the world!"

Sun Yu looked up at Black and said indifferently, "Thanks, but no thanks! I don't want half the world; I want all of you dead!"

Since they dared to kidnap Bulma, the Red Ribbon Army had to pay a price in blood. There was no helping it; Sun Yu was just that protective of his own.

"Hmph, refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Tao Pai Pai, kill him for me!" A furious Black shouted at the figure behind him.

Following this, a man stepped out of a stretched Lincoln limousine. His eyes were as cold as lightning, he sported a handlebar mustache, and he wore a peach-colored qipao with the character "Kill" written in calligraphy on his chest. It was none other than the world's number one assassin, Tao Pai Pai.

With the appearance of Tao Pai Pai, Black regained his composure. Perhaps he thought that as long as Tao Pai Pai made a move, he could undoubtedly take down Sun Yu. At this moment, the look he gave Sun Yu was filled with pity.

"Young man, your aura is steady and restrained; you truly don't seem simple! It's a pity you met me..." Tao Pai Pai seemed to be praising Sun Yu, but in reality, he was just trying to highlight himself. He could sense Sun Yu's extraordinary nature, so with his vicious heart, he wanted to kill Sun Yu as soon as possible to prevent him from becoming a rival in the future—though, of course, that was just his own thinking.

"Three moves!" Tao Pai Pai held up four fingers. A nearby attendant tremblingly helped him press down one of the extra fingers. Tao Pai Pai cleared his throat awkwardly, "In just three moves, I will kill you!"

Sun Yu gave a shy smile and said, "How come I feel like it will only take one?"

"At least you have self-awareness!... Hiyah!" Tao Pai Pai sneered, then, holding onto his dream, launched a flying kick at Sun Yu.

Just as Tao Pai Pai was about to hit Sun Yu, Sun Yu slowly spat out the half-eaten lollipop he had been holding in his mouth and flicked it nonchalantly toward Tao Pai Pai's forehead.

These seemingly slow movements actually happened in an instant. Tao Pai Pai didn't even have time to react before the unremarkable lollipop was embedded into his forehead.

The world's number one assassin, dead!

Killed by a half-eaten lollipop!

The smiles on the faces of Black and the others remained frozen; clearly, they couldn't accept such a thing! A plastic lollipop killing the world's number one assassin—who would believe that if it were told to them?

But they had no choice but to believe it, because it had all truly happened right before their eyes!

Sun Yu looked at the dead Tao Pai Pai on the ground and sighed, "What a pity, there was still half left to eat!"

Bulma looked up at Sun Yu with a cute expression, then held up her own lollipop and said, "Bulma will give you hers to eat!"

Black and the others nearby almost cried when they heard this. They thought to themselves, how much does a lollipop cost? They had spent 100 million to hire Tao Pai Pai, and now he was dead just like that—a massive loss!

"Hey, Black, do you have any other secret weapons? Bring them all out!" Sun Yu asked with a lazy yawn.

In truth, Sun Yu didn't have the leisure to play with them here; he was hoping to see the Androids or similar creations developed by Dr. Gero. The original work had hinted at them, but there were no detailed records. With a Saiyan's warlike nature, Sun Yu naturally had expectations for the Androids at this stage, but it seemed it was all for nothing.

"N-no, Lord Sun!" Black's legs went weak with fear, and he knelt down. Even someone like Tao Pai Pai could be killed in a second; even if Black were stupid, he knew that since he was so close to Sun Yu, the other party could kill him instantly. So, he smiled obsequiously, "Lord Sun, this subordinate is willing to follow you. I am willing to be your beast of burden. If you want this world, I can offer it all to you..."

Although he said this, his hand was reaching for the pistol at his waist, intending to launch a sneak attack the moment Sun Yu let his guard down.

However, Sun Yu didn't even look at him properly. Sun Yu just crouched down and gently pinched Bulma's cheek, asking, "Bulma, do you want to see fireworks?"

"Yes, yes! Big Brother Sun Yu, Bulma wants to see fireworks! Bulma wants to see fireworks!"
