Threat

Although Kast hoped these people would leave on their own, he had already prepared himself for battle at any moment.

Based on his understanding of Ginyu's personality from the original story, Kast knew he was a madman—powerful, fiercely loyal to Frieza, and possessed of a determination that would not rest until his goal was achieved.

While Kast was unsure why Ginyu had targeted him, he knew that whatever the reason, it certainly wasn't good news.

In reality, it was exactly as Kast suspected; the spaceship had indeed arrived at this location specifically for him, and Ginyu was indeed on board.

Furthermore, Ginyu had already spotted him back when Kast was traveling through space.

Time rewinds a few hours.

As Frieza's army grew, Frieza became dissatisfied with his massive force of ordinary soldiers and began preparing to recruit powerful individuals to form his own personal squad.

This team was the Ginyu Force, a super-specialized unit handpicked by Frieza from the elite warriors of the universe. Its members included Ginyu, Recoome, Jeice, Burter, and Guldo, each possessing immense combat power, earning them the title of the elite of the elite.

As an elite special forces unit, the Ginyu Force was quite idle; Frieza never contacted them except under special circumstances, so they usually spent their time wandering around.

However, to live up to the requirement of being "elite," Ginyu, as the captain, would occasionally lead his squad members out on hunts, targeting beings who possessed significant power.

So, was this visit to Kast a hunt?

Actually, no.

Truth be told, Ginyu setting his sights on Kast this time was an accident.

As the team grew, the idle Ginyu had begun wandering through the universe.

During the journey, however, his scouter suddenly detected a powerful energy signature.

On the display, Ginyu could see that this power level was over 30,000!

Over 30,000—while it couldn't compare to his teammates, and certainly not to his own 120,000, it was not a figure to be underestimated.

Driven by curiosity, Ginyu immediately began to follow the energy. Strangely, however, before Ginyu could even make a move, the energy vanished completely, as if it had never existed.

"What!" A shocked Ginyu stared at the scouter in disbelief; it was hard to imagine that a living person could simply vanish into thin air without a trace.

Curious, Ginyu arrived at the last location where Kast's energy had been detected and saw the planet before him.

With a strong premonition, Ginyu followed.

In the sky, Ginyu looked down at the planet below and waved his hand. The hatch opened, and numerous warriors flew out.

"Send a notice to the planet below: hand over the person who entered the planet, or we will destroy it."

Ginyu didn't care whether the people on the planet knew where Kast was; the threat to destroy the planet was merely a tactic to force Kast out.

To be honest, Ginyu didn't want to destroy the planet and kill the target. After all, someone capable of hiding their energy was extremely rare—no, he had never seen such a thing until now.

Such a person was a talent; he couldn't just be killed off casually.

As the notice was broadcast, the entire planet erupted into chaos.

"What is the meaning of this? Who are these people, daring to spout such nonsense!" Inside a luxurious palace, an old man holding a golden scepter and wearing a magnificent crown roared at the guards below, his face flushed with anger.

The old man looked similar to an Earthling, but he wore metallic clothing and a red cape, his attire incredibly ornate and embedded with several sparkling gemstones.

"Guards! Call the entire security force to drive these troublemakers away. If they don't leave, wipe them all out!"

Hearing the old man's orders, a guard below hurriedly intervened.

"Your Majesty, their uniforms look like those of Frieza's army. Frieza's forces are not to be trifled with; we are no match for them."

Following the guard's response, a middle-aged man in silver metallic clothing added.

"Yes, Your Majesty, please calm your anger. Let us first find out why they have come."

"Frieza's army? What are they doing on our planet? This isn't a resource planet. Wait, they just said someone came to our planet and told us to hand them over, is that right?"

Hearing his subordinates' replies, the old man was initially confused, but then he seemed to realize something and asked urgently.

"Yes, Your Majesty," the guard replied respectfully. "They said someone arrived on our planet and demanded we hand them over. Your Majesty, it would be best if we did as they asked—capture the person who arrived on our planet and hand them over. Otherwise, they might actually destroy our world."

"Has anyone entered our planet recently?" the old man asked, looking at an adjutant beside him.

"Check if anyone has arrived on our planet recently. Find this person, capture them, and send them to Frieza's army!"

As he spoke, the old man continued to instruct: "Tell Frieza's army to give us some time; we will find the person as soon as possible and deliver them."

"Initiate a global lockdown! No one is allowed to leave from this moment on! Not until we find that person!"

Following the old man's orders, Ginyu's side received the transmission from the planet.

"Lord Ginyu, Planet Dor has sent a notice asking for some time. They say they will find the person quickly and hand them over to us."

"Hmph! Do those pieces of trash think they can find that person?" Ginyu sneered, turning his head and speaking coldly.

"Tell Planet Dor to issue a global announcement: tell that person to come out on their own, or I will turn this planet into cosmic dust!"

This time, Ginyu wasn't joking. After all, while Kast's ability was rare, if it couldn't be used for his own purposes, there was no point in keeping him alive—he might even become a threat.

After all, someone who could hide their energy would be a terrifying assassin.

As the news spread, the entire planet went into lockdown. Kast, unable to resupply, sighed helplessly.

It seems I can't hide anymore. What a pity; I didn't want to expose myself this early.

With that thought, a white aura erupted from Kast's body as he shot into the sky...
