Hit's Assault, A Wager Between Two

The vast starry sky, the boundless universe.

At this moment, inside the Travel Cube.

Mu Yang looked at the star map in his hands, identifying the location of Planet Sadala, the home of the Saiyans in Universe 6.

It was not too far away.

"Travel Cube, head to Planet Sadala." Mu Yang issued the command to the Travel Cube in his mind.

The Travel Cube surged through the universe at the speed of light.

The reason Mu Yang was going to find Frost was not simply to cause him trouble.

After all, he was not exactly a saint.

Whatever Frost of Universe 6 wanted to do had nothing to do with him.

He was going to cause trouble for Frost partly because he needed the other party to hire the elusive assassin, Hit.

The other reason was the system reward.

[Ding~ Congratulations to the host for witnessing Frost's despicability. With heaven-defying comprehension, you have automatically mastered Poison Pill Creation.]

Poison Pill Creation!

This reward could not be called good; it was barely better than nothing, and for Mu Yang, it was of no help at all.

"Frost, you really are trash." Mu Yang looked at the system reward on the panel, and aside from mocking Frost's incompetence, he had no other thoughts.

He had expected so much, and this was it? Just this?

Mu Yang shook his head slightly, casting the thought aside, and instead placed all his hopes on the assassin Hit.

If he remembered correctly, the assassin Hit seemed to possess the Time Skip.

That should yield a decent reward.

If he were lucky enough, he might even pull the time-related rules he was most looking forward to.

A glint flashed in Mu Yang's eyes, and the Travel Cube suddenly accelerated.

Crossing galaxy after galaxy, passing planet after planet, it finally landed on Planet Sadala.

This was the base camp for the Saiyans of Universe 6.

There were many Saiyans here.

Mu Yang had just landed and had not yet had time to put away the Travel Cube.

"Cool!" An excited voice suddenly came from behind him.

"Sister Caulifla, let's go quickly." Another soft, timid voice followed.

"Kale, don't be such a coward! He doesn't look like a bad guy to me!"

Mu Yang turned around to look at the two people who had made the sounds.

Before him were two Saiyans.

Both were female.

Mu Yang recognized these two; they were the Saiyans of Universe 6, Caulifla and Kale.

Among them, Kale was the legendary Saiyan of Universe 6.

"Yo! Hello there!" Caulifla stepped forward to greet him; at this moment, she was merely a five-year-old little girl.

Her height only reached Mu Yang's neck.

Kale followed timidly behind Caulifla, glancing up at Mu Yang from time to time.

When she saw Mu Yang looking over, Kale quickly buried her head again.

Kale and Caulifla were the same age, both five years old, and they were best friends who had grown up together.

"Hello, my name is Mu Yang." Mu Yang greeted them with a smile.

"Oh, I'm Caulifla, and this one beside me is Kale." Caulifla introduced herself, and incidentally introduced Kale as well.

"Mm." Mu Yang was not surprised; he already knew their names, so he nodded.

"Mu Yang, are you a Saiyan too?" Caulifla asked, her face full of excitement.

Mu Yang nodded.

"Liar." Kale, standing to the side, pursed her lips. "There is no such Saiyan on Planet Sadala."

"Kale." Caulifla scolded her, looking a bit embarrassed.

"Sorry about that!"

"It's fine."

Mu Yang remained calm. "It is my fault for not being clear. To be precise, I am a Saiyan from Universe 7."

"Universe 7?" Caulifla and Kale were both stunned.

Clearly, this was the first time either of them had heard the term Universe 7.

Seeing their confusion, Mu Yang smiled slightly and explained, "There are twelve universes in total. The universe you reside in is called Universe 6, and it is a twin universe to Universe 7."

"A twin universe means that whatever exists in Universe 7 also exists in your Universe 6, albeit with minor differences."

It was the first time Caulifla and Kale had heard such a novel theory.

Caulifla, in particular, had her eyes light up, her expression practically screaming her desire to go and see the other universes for herself.

"Hey! How do you go to other universes?" Caulifla asked, full of curiosity.

"Sis," Kale tugged on Caulifla's sleeve.

Watching the two sisters act so cautiously, Mu Yang couldn't help but laugh. "Wait a moment, I need to take care of something."

After patting both of their heads, Mu Yang turned around and looked toward a certain rock formation.

"You've been hiding for a long time, surely you've seen enough?"

Then, under the astonished gazes of Kale and Caulifla, a sturdy alien slowly stepped out from behind the rocks.

He had one hand in his pocket, his gaze incomparably cold.

"Someone has placed a bounty on your head in the black market."

He said it with calm detachment.

"Hmm." Mu Yang nodded indifferently, showing no surprise.

He recognized the person before him; he was an assassin from Universe 6.

Hit!

With a one-hundred-percent mission success rate, he had yet to make a single mistake.

"It was that guy Frost, wasn't it?" Mu Yang stated with certainty.

Hit did not answer, instead slowly extending the hand hidden in his sleeve and assuming an assassin's stance. "I cannot reveal the information of my employer."

This was the fundamental professional code of an assassin.

"I see." Mu Yang nodded, indicating he understood.

In any case, Hit's arrival had been part of his plan all along.

It didn't matter who had sent him.

"However, I heard what you said just now." Hit stared at Mu Yang with cold eyes, saying each word slowly, "Before you die, I want to know the method you use to travel between universes."

"Why would I tell you that?" Mu Yang raised an eyebrow.

He didn't think Hit would be so foolish.

He was about to kill him; why would he reveal his method of travel to his opponent?

"After you die, I can kill the employer who hired me to kill you," Hit said after a moment of silence, proposing a condition.

Mu Yang seemed amused, letting out a laugh. "By then I'll already be dead, so whether you kill them or not makes no difference."

"Fair point," Hit did not deny it.

"But I have some ideas of my own." Hit shifted his gaze to the Travel Cube beside Mu Yang. "This is the thing that brought you here, isn't it?"

"What if I said no?" Mu Yang's lips curled into a playful expression.

"It seems it is." Seeing the expression on Mu Yang's face, Hit understood he hadn't guessed wrong.

"After you die, can you give this to me?" Hit requested politely.

"Of course," Mu Yang smirked, "provided you can actually kill me."
