"Are you defying Frieza's orders now?" Vegeta barked.
Zaron abruptly stopped attacking. He stared at Vegeta in terror, not daring to move his fist another inch forward.
"Don't you know Frieza needs me for something important? Idiot." Vegeta smiled.
"What did you say?" Zaron froze.
"I said Frieza brought me all the way back from Earth because he needs me for something. If you kill me, how are you going to explain that to Frieza? Huh?" Vegeta's smile could not have been brighter.
"You... you..." Zaron's fist trembled for a long time as he stammered, unable to get another word out.
Indeed, Vegeta could not die yet. Those were Lord Frieza's orders.
And how could Zaron, who was utterly loyal to Frieza, dare disobey him?
For a moment, Zaron gritted his teeth hard enough to shatter them and glared viciously at Vegeta. He wished he could flay him alive with his eyes.
"That's about all you're good for." Vegeta chuckled.
"You... you... just you wait! I'll settle this score with you!" Zaron shouted, his eyes bloodshot.
With that, Zaron decided to leave this miserable place as quickly as possible. Fuck, not being able to hit this brat was infuriating.
But just as Zaron turned around, he heard Vegeta speak again.
"Wait. Who said you could leave?"
"You... you little brat, what else do you want?" Zaron gnashed his teeth in fury, but there was nothing he could do about Vegeta.
He was afraid that if he attacked, he might accidentally kill Vegeta. If Frieza held him responsible, things would get ugly.
"You don't dare lay a hand on me now, do you? But I can beat you up all I want!" As Vegeta spoke, he suddenly threw a punch straight into Zaron's handsome face.
"You..." Blood streamed from Zaron's nostrils as he glared viciously at Vegeta.
"What about me? You're exactly the idiot I'm hitting." Vegeta followed up with a kick, knocking Zaron to the ground.
Zaron shot into the air, looking ready to go berserk as his power continued to rise.
Vegeta had barely put any power into those two blows. With his current strength, killing Zaron instantly would have taken no more than a flick of his finger.
Vegeta had not had enough fun yet. Killing him so easily would have let him off far too lightly, so he had held back.
It was only Zaron. He merely wanted to humiliate the guy a little so he would stop strutting around Vegeta's own planet.
"You don't dare kill me, but I can wipe you out without a second thought," Vegeta said with a smile.
"You, you, you... I'll make you pay!" Zaron was so furious that his hair nearly stood on end.
The next moment, Zaron became a streak of light and hurtled toward Vegeta. This time, he had made up his mind: no matter what, he would teach this bullying brat a lesson first. He could not just take a beating without fighting back. That was not his style.
Boom!
Yet just as Zaron was about to reach Vegeta, something seemed to punch him out of the air. He plunged headfirst into the ground like a cannonball.
Vegeta took a closer look.
Holy shit, Great Ape Transformation!
"Hmph! You dare bully my son? I'll destroy you!"
The speaker was none other than King Vegeta, who had transformed into a Great Ape.
At that moment, the Saiyan king looked utterly imposing.
His enormous body was like a towering mountain, filling half the sky. In the light of the setting sun, his mighty figure cast a long, long shadow.
For a moment, the sight of King Vegeta transformed into a Great Ape, along with his bold declaration, seemed to kindle a light in Vegeta's heart. Suddenly, he felt a little touched.
