Because of Krillin's words, Vegeta actually held him in higher regard.

I have to admit, while he looks timid, he is quite courageous when it counts.

Although the original Krillin often dropped the ball, there were indeed many aspects of him that were commendable.

"It seems my full recovery has taken you by surprise. I just wonder how that guy Kakarot is doing now? Let me guess, is he lying in a hospital bed, broken to pieces? Is that why you had no choice but to come to Planet Namek to search for the Dragon Balls?" Vegeta said in a mocking tone.

Upon hearing this, Krillin and Son Gohan felt a surge of anger, their eyes widening and their teeth clenching.

Facing an enemy they could not handle, they had to swallow their rage.

If they had known it would come to this, they shouldn't have let Vegeta go back then.

Krillin was filled with regret; he had the ability to kill Vegeta at the time, but Goku's request led him to spare Vegeta in the end.

Sensing their murderous glares, a smirk played on Vegeta's lips, followed by a sudden shift in his eyes as killing intent erupted.

Krillin and Son Gohan were both shocked, their hair standing on end.

Vegeta's sudden burst of energy was something they could not withstand.

They didn't even have the thought of resisting.

"BOOM~!!!"

A muffled explosion rang out.

Vegeta raised his hand and fired an energy wave, which streaked over the heads of the panicked Krillin and Son Gohan, heading straight for another island in the distance.

Two scouts from the Frieza Force were hiding over there.

At the critical moment, they managed to react and barely escaped the island.

"BANG~~!!!"

The massive explosion completely shattered the island, terrifying flames shot into the sky, and the shockwave swept across dozens of miles.

Krillin and Son Gohan were confused, until they reacted and saw two other figures appearing in the sky.

Wearing that standard combat uniform and sporting conspicuous scouters, they were with Vegeta!

But they found it strange; if they were on the same side, why would Vegeta attack them for no reason?

Thinking back to the Saiyan Nappa who was killed by Vegeta, they could accept it for a moment.

A guy like Vegeta was just that kind of heinous, cold-blooded animal without any emotions; he couldn't be viewed through the eyes of an ordinary person.

Vegeta didn't care how they viewed him; he looked up at the two scouts with a cold sneer on his face.

His figure slowly rose into the air, and as he took off, he spoke: "I really don't know whether to call you lucky or unlucky!"

He remembered these two scouts; in the original story, they were killed by Krillin and Son Gohan.

The situation was dire; even a fool could see that the two scouts were terrified out of their wits when facing Vegeta.

After all, they were just scouts with a power level of just over 1,000.

"V-Vegeta-sama, please spare us! We didn't intentionally lurk in the shadows; we just happened to see a spaceship land here, so we came to investigate."

"Yes, yes! We are scouts belonging to Zarbon-sama's unit, we didn't know it was you, Vegeta-sama."

The two were drenched in sweat, repeatedly offering excuses.

Such lies could only fool some idiots.

"Oh? Is that so? Could it be that the news of me becoming a traitor hasn't spread yet? No, no, you originally just saw others arrive here, so you came to investigate, only to discover my presence, and then you hid, intending to find out the truth so you could claim credit with Zarbon and Frieza, right?" Vegeta maintained his cold sneer, and before they knew it, he had already arrived in front of them.

He hit the nail on the head, exposing their thoughts.

The scent of death had already enveloped the two; one of them, overcome by fear, chose to run away.

The other decided to go all out, knowing that Vegeta wouldn't let them go, so rather than being killed outright, he might as well strike first.

But the gap in strength was too great; even with the aid of energy weapons, he couldn't break Vegeta's defense at all.

Taking the energy attack head-on, Vegeta broke through forcefully and punched him to pieces.

Immediately after, he raised his hand and aimed at the other one who was fleeing.

Although there was already some distance, he didn't need to chase him at this range; an energy wave shot out from his palm and caught up to the man at extreme speed.

"BOOM~!!!" With a loud explosion.

Under the bombardment of this energy wave, the fleeing scout was left with nothing, turning into ashes.

After dealing with the two, Vegeta slowly landed back in front of Krillin and Son Gohan.

At this moment, the two were pale and extremely uneasy.

They didn't know what Vegeta was planning to do.

But they had heard clearly just now that Vegeta said he had become a traitor, and it seemed to involve existences they couldn't even imagine.

Zarbon?

And Frieza?

Although they didn't know the specific situation, they could imagine that perhaps Zarbon and Frieza were Vegeta's former superiors.

I have to admit, their guess was spot on.

Facing them once again, Vegeta couldn't be bothered to waste any more breath. After all, without absolute strength, he was constantly at risk of being hunted down by Frieza. He spoke directly: "Hand over the Dragon Radar you have. The crisis Planet Namek is facing now is beyond your imagination, and certainly beyond your control! With your level of strength, it would be best for you to go nowhere. Hiding away to watch TV and drink milk would be a decent choice, or you could take this chance to leave Planet Namek before you're discovered. Frieza and his lot won't bother chasing you; after all, you're just small fry."

This was a word of advice, but also a notification wrapped in a threat.

Krillin and Son Gohan were shocked, incredulous, and filled with dread.

The two looked at each other.

In the end, it was Krillin who spoke up: "How, how did you know about the Dragon Radar?"

"That is something you don't need to know. In any case, given the current situation, the Dragon Radar can only fulfill its purpose in my hands. You don't want Frieza and his gang to collect all the Dragon Balls, do you? Let me tell you, that guy calls himself the Emperor of the Universe," Vegeta said with a cold sneer.

"Emperor... of the Universe?!!"

"Is that the aura so evil it's hard to even imagine?!"

Son Gohan and Krillin gasped, encountering such terrifying information for the first time, which completely shattered their worldview.

Vegeta was already scary enough; now that they knew an even more terrifying existence was out there, how could they not be trembling with fear?

The reason Vegeta told them this was to let them know the current state of Planet Namek in advance.

Shifting his gaze, Vegeta looked toward the spaceship: "Come out. Even hiding is useless. If I really wanted to strike at you, do you think you would still be alive right now?"
