The Guardian and Karin are truly insidious fellows.

"Little monster, you're finished, meow." Karin seemed to notice that Vegeta's physical condition was poor, and he was so excited he nearly jumped for joy.

Vegeta smiled, saying nothing.

"Guardian, he who hesitates is lost, meow. Kill him. With him around, Earth will be persecuted sooner or later, meow," Karin urged.

A sharp light flickered in the Guardian's eyes, his thoughts indecisive.

Vegeta mustered a sliver of energy, struggling to his feet, and said with a smile, "Come on. My energy is completely exhausted; now is the best chance to kill me."

"Vegeta, do you think I truly wouldn't dare to kill you?" the Guardian replied with a cold face.

"You saw for yourselves just now how powerful the combat strength of the person who came to Earth was," Vegeta sneered coldly. "Let me warn you: before long, others will come, and they will be even stronger than him!"

At these words, the Guardian and Karin were struck dumb, too shocked to utter a single word.

"I am not fear-mongering. Aside from me, no one on this planet is a match for them!" Vegeta scoffed.

"If we kill you, they won't come, meow. They are coming for you, meow," Karin said in a low voice.

"You idiot old cat, use your brain and think. If they can't find me, they won't have the slightest interest in this planet. They'll just kill everyone and sell the planet off; it should fetch a good price." Vegeta shot him a sidelong glance, turned his back, and said without looking back, "Alright, I'm busy. Goodbye."

Having said that, Vegeta ignored the two old fellows and turned to leave.

"Guardian, what do you think..." Karin was also wavering.

"Vegeta, you just said that even stronger enemies will come to Earth. When will they arrive?" the Guardian suddenly asked.

"Perhaps in two or three months," Vegeta said with a smile.

Two or three months!

Even stronger enemies were coming to Earth!

The Guardian and Karin stared at each other, feeling utterly helpless.

"Karin, heal him!" After a brief silence, the Guardian commanded.

"Guardian, my Senzu Beans haven't ripened yet, meow! I have no way to heal him!" Karin gave a bitter smile.

"Regardless, take him to the Lookout first," the Guardian seemed to have made up his mind.

"Enough, you two, stop bickering," Vegeta said impatiently. "Old cat, you don't have any Senzu Beans, so why would I go to the Lookout? Just hurry up and take me to Capsule Corporation, then you can get lost."

The Guardian and Karin exchanged glances, whispered for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

A quarter of an hour later, Karin was complaining incessantly.

"Meow... to think that I, the renowned Karin, am actually carrying a hateful little monster on my back!"

"Old cat, if you keep whining, be careful or I'll snap your neck," Vegeta threatened.

The Guardian could only smile bitterly, shaking his head in silence.

About half an hour later, the Guardian and Karin dumped Vegeta in the courtyard of Capsule Corporation and left without looking back.

News of Vegeta's injuries was quickly discovered by Bulma's family, who found a few staff members to help carry Vegeta into their private hospital.

After being bandaged up, Vegeta was wrapped like a large white rice dumpling.

"Karin, heal him!" After a brief silence, the Guardian commanded Karin.

"Guardian, my Senzu Beans haven't ripened yet, meow. I have no way to save him!" Karin replied with a wry smile.

"Regardless, take him to the Lookout first." The Guardian seemed to have made up his mind.

"Enough, you two, stop bickering," Vegeta said impatiently. "Old cat, if you don't have any Senzu Beans, why would I go to the Lookout? Just hurry up and take me to Capsule Corporation, then you two can get lost."

A quarter of an hour later, Karin was complaining incessantly.

"Meow... to think that I, the illustrious Karin, am actually carrying a hateful little monster on my back!"

"Old cat, if you keep whining, watch out or I'll snap your neck," Vegeta threatened.

The Guardian could only offer a wry smile, shaking his head in silence.

About half an hour later, the Guardian and Karin dumped Vegeta into the courtyard of Capsule Corporation and left without looking back.

News of Vegeta's injuries was quickly discovered by Bulma's family, who found a few staff members to help carry him into their private hospital.

After being bandaged up, Vegeta was wrapped like a giant white rice dumpling.

Vegeta gave a wry smile; in these days without Senzu Beans, this was the only treatment available.

"Brother Vegeta, that Red Ribbon Army is so hateful. When I grow up, I'll definitely build you the most advanced weapons!" Bulma said, tears streaming down her face.
