"Are you people from Ice Flame Planet?"
Leige looked at the dozens of white-clad people who had appeared out of nowhere and asked.
"We're members of the Ice Clan. Who are you, and what are you doing lurking around the border between the Ice and Flame Clans?"
The white-clad man at the head of the group looked at Leige, who was only about a meter tall, and asked.
"I don't know who these Flame Clan people you're talking about are. My companion and I were being hunted. Our spaceship ran out of energy, so we had no choice but to land on Ice Flame Planet."
Leige replied.
"What about your companion? And the people who were hunting you? Where's your spaceship?"
The white-clad man asked.
"My companion was killed by them. I've already dealt with the people who were hunting us, and those bastards destroyed our spaceship. I've contacted our headquarters, and the people they sent will arrive in three days."
Leige replied.
"Captain, this guy's suspicious. Should we take him back to Ice City?"
One of the men beside the white-clad man suggested.
"Take the little fellow back to Ice City first."
The white-clad man said.
"Hey, if you people don't need anything else, I'm leaving."
Leige said.
After speaking, Leige prepared to fly away, but the Ice Clan soldiers suddenly surrounded him.
"What else do you want?"
Leige asked, looking at them.
"You still haven't proven that you're not a Flame Clan spy."
The white-clad man said.
"Are you stupid? If I were the Flame Clan spy you're talking about, I'd have killed all of you already. Why would I waste my time arguing with you?"
Leige said.
"That's not for you to decide. Come with us to Ice City. Once we've finished investigating, if you really aren't a spy, we'll let you go."
The short-haired man beside the white-clad man said.
"I can go with you to Ice City, but you have to feed me."
Leige said.
"Fine, we'll feed you. It's not like a little fellow like you can eat much."
The short-haired man said.
The Ice Clan members then took Leige back to Ice City.
Three hours later, in an interrogation room in Ice City.
"Name?"
A white-haired man in red looked at Leige and asked.
"Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking someone else?"
Leige said.
"I can only tell you that my name is Xue Feng. I can't tell you anything else."
Xue Feng said.
"Then I can only tell you that my name is Leige."
Leige said.
"Identity."
Xue Feng continued asking.
"Frieza's adopted son."
Leige replied.
"Frieza! You're Frieza's adopted son?"
Xue Feng exclaimed in shock.
"Scared now, huh? If you are, hurry up and treat me like royalty, with plenty of good food and drink. Then I'll overlook your disrespect just now."
Leige said.
"Why did Frieza send you to Ice Flame Planet?"
Xue Feng asked.
"I'll say it again: Zarbon and I were on our way back to Frieza Planet No. 2 when Space Pirates attacked us. Our spaceship ran out of energy, so we had to land on Ice Flame Planet."
Leige said.
"Then where's your spaceship?"
Xue Feng asked.
"I already told you. The Space Pirates destroyed it."
Leige replied.
"We'll need to verify your identity."
Xue Feng said.
"When's dinner?"
Leige asked.
"It's three in the afternoon. Dinner will be served in two hours. Someone will bring you food then. Guards, take Leige to the dungeon for now."
Xue Feng ordered.
"I'm not staying in a dungeon. I want a private room."
Leige said.
"That's not up to you."
Xue Feng said.
"Believe it or not, I'll kill you!"
Leige said.
"Even if you kill me, you won't get out. There are heavily armed guards outside."
Xue Feng said.
"Fine, you've got guts! You may be able to send this prince to the dungeon, but when I get out, your Ice King will have to come and personally invite me out!"
Leige said angrily.
Leige then followed the Ice Clan soldiers to the dungeon. They also took his Scouter and Battle Suit. If they hadn't been feeding him, he would have taught them a lesson long ago.
Five minutes later, in the dungeon.
"Get in."
The Ice Clan soldier shoved Leige into the dungeon and said.
"Well, look at that. We've got a cute little kid. Come here, kid, and let me have a feel."
A short, fat man in a prisoner's uniform said.
Leige didn't even bother to respond. He found a spot and sat down.
"Brat, my big brother's talking to you. Are you deaf? Get over here and let him have a feel!"
The skinny, tall man beside the fat man said.
Leige still ignored him.
"Brat, you're asking for it!"
The fat man walked over with more than a dozen others and surrounded Leige.
"Get lost! Otherwise, I'll kill you!"
Leige said.
"Kill us? You're asking to die, brat!"
The fat man said angrily.
Thud!
The fat man punched at Leige, and Leige punched at him in return. Their fists collided.
"Ah! Ah! My hand!"
The fat man clutched his hand and cried out.
When his fist collided with Leige's, he felt the bones in his hand shatter.
Thud!
Leige seized the opportunity and punched the fat man, sending him flying to the ground.
"Big brother! Big brother, are you all right?"
The skinny, tall man shouted.
"Brother Xue Li, our big brother's dead!"
Another underling shouted to the skinny, tall man.
"Brothers, kill him and avenge our big brother!"
Xue Li shouted.
As soon as he finished, Xue Li led the others in charging at Leige.
Boom! Ugh!
Leige sent them flying with a burst of ki.
"Don't make me kill you!"
Leige said, pressing his foot down on Xue Li's head.
"Spare me, big brother! Please spare me! We won't dare bother you again!"
Xue Li said.
He understood now. Even though the other person was just a kid, killing them would be as easy as breathing.
"Spare us, big brother!"
The rest of them pleaded too.
"What's going on here?"
Just then, a white-haired man in green arrived outside the cell with a group of soldiers and asked.
"General Xue Ying, nothing's going on. Nothing at all."
Xue Li said.
"Behave yourselves, or I'll send you to the battlefield right away."
Xue Ying said.
"We'll behave! We'll definitely behave!"
Xue Li said.
Xue Ying then left the cell with the soldiers.
"What did that Xue Ying mean by sending us to the battlefield?"
Leige looked at Xue Li and asked.
"Big brother, you're not from Ice Flame Planet, so you don't know much about it. There are two races here, the Ice Clan and the Flame Clan, and they're constantly at war. Although the Ice Clan's technology is more advanced than the Flame Clan's, there aren't many of us—we only have a little over three million people. The Flame Clan's technology is behind ours, but they have over eight million people."
Xue Li explained.
"So when the Ice Clan doesn't have enough soldiers, they send prisoners to fill the ranks, right?"
Leige said.
"Big brother's really smart."
Xue Li said to Leige.
"Xue Li, do you want to be the Ice King?"
Leige looked at Xue Li and asked.
"Big brother, don't make fun of me. How could someone like me become the Ice King?"
Xue Li said.
"You just saw how strong I am. Do you think the Ice King could beat me?"
Leige asked.
"Big brother, I've never seen the Ice King fight, so I really don't know how strong he is."
Xue Li said.
"Xue Li, my battle power is eight hundred thousand. Do you think the Ice King could beat me?"
Leige asked.
"Eight hundred thousand! Big brother, your battle power is really eight hundred thousand? I heard the Flame King only has a battle power of thirty thousand. Yours is more than twenty times his!"
Xue Li said.
"Xue Li, how much stronger do you think the Ice King can be than the Flame King? So if you're willing, I can help you take the throne."
Leige said.
"If big brother can help me become the Ice King, I'm willing to split Ice City with you."
Xue Li said.
"No need. You said the Ice Clan has advanced technology. After I help you take the throne, how about you give me a few outstanding scientists?"
Leige said.
"That's easy."
Xue Li said.
Two minutes later.
Boom!
Leige fired a blast of energy and punched a hole through the dungeon wall.
Thirty minutes later.
"Brothers, are you willing to help me become king?"
Xue Li asked the prisoners he had released.
"We will follow you to the death, Your Majesty!"
the prisoners replied.
They hadn't been very afraid of Xue Li at first, but when he told them that Leige had a combat strength of fifty thousand, they were terrified. If they didn't follow Xue Li, Leige might kill them.
"Now we'll seize the palace and kill Xue An. Once it's done, I'll reward you handsomely."
Xue Li said.
An hour later, in the palace, in the Ice King's Bedchamber.
"Your Majesty, this is terrible! Terrible!"
