Scouter Malfunction

Raditz was quick-witted, tossing his scouter far over to Zarbon.

"Hmph, Vegeta, I'm going to see your true strength for myself!" Zarbon tossed his own scouter aside, donned Raditz's, and began to measure Vegeta's combat power.

Seeing this, Vegeta merely offered a faint smile, showing no intention of stopping him.

"Beep-beep!"

The combat power reading appeared almost instantly. Zarbon was startled—damn it, how was it still fifteen thousand!

This... how could this be?

That was the phrase Zarbon had said most often today; he could no longer find the words to describe this monstrous reality.

"Zarbon, are you ready to die?" Vegeta smiled lightly.

"In your dreams! You might be faster than me, but your combat power could never be higher than mine! You... you still can't beat me!" Zarbon gritted his teeth, his expression shifting uncertainly.

Despite his words, Zarbon felt no confidence inside; after all, that last strike from Vegeta had left him severely injured.

"Alright, game over. Watch yourself." After saying this, Vegeta extended his right arm forward.

Zarbon's pupils dilated sharply.

"Flash Cannon!"

A scorching radiance erupted from Vegeta's hand, quickly condensing into a sphere before surging outward like a raging dragon.

The vast energy whipped up endless debris across this nearly abandoned city, and the sky seemed to tear apart, instantly cloaking the area in dark clouds and lightning.

Zarbon's pupils widened even further.

"Beep-beep..."

The numbers on the scouter he wore were changing rapidly.

Fifteen thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand... fifty thousand, sixty thousand...

"Bang!"

Unable to withstand the onslaught of such immense energy, the scouter shattered into pieces.

Vegeta's formidable combat power had shocked Zarbon beyond words. His face was a mask of utter bewilderment, his toad-like features twisted into an even uglier grimace.

Looking at Nappa and Raditz, they were completely stunned, their jaws dropped so low they could have swallowed an ostrich egg.

"Zarbon, see you in the next life!" Vegeta smiled faintly, flicked his hand, and launched that intense beam of light toward Zarbon.

"Wait... wait..." Zarbon waved his hands frantically, his face deathly pale.

A wicked curve tugged at the corner of Vegeta's mouth.

Wait?

He wasn't feeling that generous.

"Boom!"

The next moment, accompanied by a deafening roar, Zarbon was blown to smithereens by the powerful Flash Cannon.

Having wiped out Zarbon with ease, Vegeta felt no particular joy; he hadn't even considered a mere Zarbon a threat.

However, Vegeta's overwhelming strength had completely blinded Nappa and Raditz.

The two hurried over, their eyes burning with newfound fervor as they looked at Vegeta.

Vegeta glanced at them sideways and said to Raditz, "Didn't I tell you to stay at Capsule Corporation and protect Bulma and the others? What are you doing here?"

Raditz was quick-witted, tossing his scouter far over to Zarbon.

"Hmph, Vegeta, I'm going to see your true strength for myself!" Zarbon tossed his own scouter aside, donned Raditz's, and began to measure Vegeta's combat power.

Seeing this, Vegeta merely offered a faint smile, showing no intention of stopping him.

"Beep-beep!"

The combat power reading appeared almost instantly. Zarbon was startled—damn it, how was it still fifteen thousand!

Zarbon's pupils dilated sharply.

"Flash Cannon!"

A scorching radiance erupted from Vegeta's hand, quickly condensing into a sphere before surging outward like a raging dragon.

"Beep, beep..."

The Scouter worn over his eye showed numbers that were constantly fluctuating.

Fifteen thousand, twenty thousand, thirty thousand... fifty thousand, sixty thousand...

"Bang!"

Unable to withstand the assault of such immense energy, the Scouter suddenly shattered into pieces.

Vegeta's formidable combat power had left Zarbon so shocked that words failed him; his expression was one of utter bewilderment, his toad-like face twisted into an even uglier grimace.

As for Nappa and Raditz, they were completely dumbstruck, their jaws hitting the floor, mouths agape wide enough to swallow an ostrich egg.

"Zarbon, see you in the next life!" Vegeta chuckled softly, flicking his hand to launch a fierce beam of light toward where Zarbon stood.

"Wait... wait..." Zarbon waved his hands frantically, his face deathly pale.

A wicked arc curled at the corner of Vegeta's mouth.

Wait?

He wasn't that easy to talk to.

"Boom!"

The next moment, accompanied by a deafening roar, Zarbon was blown to smithereens by the powerful Flash Cannon.

Having wiped out Zarbon with ease, Vegeta felt no particular joy; Zarbon was nothing more than a trifle he hadn't even bothered to take seriously.

However, Vegeta's overwhelming strength had completely blinded Nappa and Raditz.

The two hurried over, their eyes burning with fervor as they looked at Vegeta.

Vegeta glanced at them sideways and said to Raditz, "Didn't I tell you to stay at Capsule Corporation and protect Bulma and the others? What are you doing here?"
