The world's number one assassin

Vegeta snorted coldly and ignored him.

"Yah..."

Mercenary Tao charged forward, his dreams close to his heart.

Smack!

Vegeta kicked him, sending Mercenary Tao flying far into the distance and gouging a deep trench through the ground.

All the guards were dumbstruck. What a fucking load of hot air. He had claimed he could finish the kid off in three moves, but what happened? The kid sent him flying with a single kick.

Mercenary Tao sprang to his feet with a kip-up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. His face twisted, and veins bulged on his forehead.

"Dodon Ray!"

Mercenary Tao shouted, and a blazing beam shot from his index finger straight at Vegeta.

Without the slightest hurry, Vegeta swatted it, reducing the Dodon Ray to nothing on the spot.

At the sight, Mercenary Tao's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and his long face stretched even longer in shock.

"None of you are leaving here alive today." Vegeta was thoroughly sick of these little flies. With that, he limped toward Mercenary Tao.

Although Vegeta's movements looked comical, none of them could laugh.

Fuck, his head was wrapped in bandages and his arm was in a cast. How could someone so badly injured still be this powerful? How was anyone supposed to stand a chance?

"Spare me! Spare me!" Mercenary Tao's lips trembled, and he dropped to his knees before Vegeta with a thud. His right hand, however, reached behind his back, where a bomb had quietly appeared in his grasp.

"Hmph." Vegeta saw it all. He had no intention of showing mercy. He walked over and kicked Mercenary Tao in the chest.

"Awooo..."

And just like that, the self-proclaimed world's number one assassin kicked the bucket.

The poor bastard had not even had time to pull the pin.

The others were terrified. With a cry, they scattered in every direction.

"All of you, die!"

Vegeta roared, and powerful energy surged from his body, sweeping the Red Ribbon Army guards into the sky.

Boom!

A fierce blaze of light erupted from Vegeta's body, turning the guards into smoke in an instant.

"Phew..."

Vegeta drew a deep breath and plopped down on the ground. He had to admit that the fight had taken quite a bit of energy out of him.

The flies might have been small, but dealing with them still took a lot of stamina, especially while he was injured.

"Little Bei, are you all right?" Dr. Brief hurried over and helped Vegeta to his feet.

"I'm fine." Vegeta smiled and asked casually, "Doctor, do you know where the Red Ribbon Army's headquarters is?"

"Little Bei, what are you planning to do?" Dr. Brief asked in shock.

"Wipe them all out, of course. Leaving those flies alive would just be a nuisance," Vegeta said with a smile.

"Little Bei, last time they... never mind. You'd better not go." Dr. Brief shook his head.

"Last time was an accident. Tell me, where is their headquarters?" Vegeta waved a hand and asked again.

"All right, then. Once your injuries have healed, I'll tell you where they are," Dr. Brief said with a wry smile.

Vegeta considered it. The Red Ribbon Army was not going to amount to much anyway, and in his current state, even flying was a little difficult. Waiting until his injuries healed before wiping them out was not a bad option.

With his mind made up, Vegeta said no more and turned to go rest.

A month later, Vegeta's injuries had completely healed. When he circulated the energy within his body, he was pleasantly surprised to discover that his power level had risen considerably again.

By Vegeta's rough estimate, his power level had now reached an impressive sixty thousand.

Perhaps this was because Saiyans received a massive increase in power after surviving a brush with death.

By now, Dr. Brief had finished making the Dragon Radar, and Vegeta planned to search for Earth's seven Dragon Balls.

Before searching for the Dragon Balls, however, Vegeta still felt that those Red Ribbon Army flies were a nuisance. If he did not wipe them out and they came to harass Bulma's family while he was away looking for the Dragon Balls, that would be no laughing matter.

Vegeta picked up the Dragon Radar and checked it. He soon discovered that four Dragon Balls were gathered together roughly a thousand kilometers away.

After a moment's thought, he concluded that those four Dragon Balls were most likely at the Red Ribbon Army's headquarters.

Vegeta smiled. He really could kill two birds with one stone!
