Mutual Acting

In the deep, dark expanse of the cosmic void.

Wang Shen sat cross-legged inside the Shuttle Cube, eyes slightly closed, calming his mind to endure the lonely journey.

Suddenly, Wang Shen sensed a massive spaceship approaching from the distance, moving with aggressive intent.

Recent days of focused cultivation and cosmic experience had allowed Wang Shen's mental state to reach a new level.

Before the autumn wind stirs, the cicada feels it first.

Wang Shen's brows furrowed.

He instinctively felt that the newcomers meant him harm.

The Shuttle Cube continued to speed forward, but the others, seemingly aware they could not match his velocity, intercepted his path ahead of time.

Seeing this, Wang Shen remained sitting as composed as ever, completely unperturbed.

He had no intention of changing course to avoid them.

He wanted to see what kind of monsters and demons these were; it would serve to pass the time in this lonely void.

After forcing the Shuttle Cube to a halt, the massive ship transmitted a message.

"We are the ship of Mr. Frost. May I ask if you are a Saiyan?"

Wang Shen's heart stirred, and he thought to himself:

Frost, so it's him. That explains it. Sigh, a lone Saiyan wandering the boundless universe alone—it really is too dangerous.

"I am."

Wang Shen's voice resonated directly in their ears.

Shazad, the subordinate of Frost, was overjoyed.

Although Wang Shen's method of projecting his voice across space surprised them, they did not pay it much mind.

After all, there were plenty of people who possessed special tricks but had negligible combat power.

They did not believe a mere Saiyan could be a match for Lord Frost.

Thus, Salza hurriedly added:

"Mr. Frost has captured three space pirates and obtained information that the main pirate fleet is planning a sneak attack on Planet Sadala."

"Mr. Frost intends to go to Planet Sadala to deliver this intelligence, and since we happened to encounter you on the way, Mr. Frost would like to invite you to discuss the matter."

Hearing this, the corners of Wang Shen's mouth curled up, his eyes filled with mockery.

"Very well. I have long admired the famous Mr. Frost and would like to meet him."

"That's wonderful. Please, come aboard."

Shazad opened a small hatch on the ship, inviting Wang Shen inside.

"Our ship is large enough; you can park your cube ship inside our vessel."

Shazad offered his sincere suggestion.

Wang Shen blinked.

Was Frost eyeing his Shuttle Cube?

He wasn't being suspicious without cause.

Frost had a "prior record" of coveting the Shuttle Cube.

"No need. I have my own way of storing it."

With that, Wang Shen casually retracted the Shuttle Cube into his personal space and stepped into the Wolf Den.

Seeing this, Shazad was deeply disappointed and looked back at Frost, who sat in his chair with a mysterious smile.

He looked so confident, as if everything happening in the world was within his grasp.

"It doesn't matter. As long as he enters my ship, both that transparent cube and he himself will be mine for the taking."

His immense strength gave him this confidence.

Clack!

The hatch opened, and Wang Shen stepped into the main control room.

"Welcome."

Shazad's face was wreathed in a warm smile.

Wang Shen first scanned the room, noticing there were ten people in the cabin.

He asked directly:

"Where are the pirates?"

Frost ignored Wang Shen's question, slowly walking up to him and extending a palm.

His face was piled with a polite, ritualistic smile.

"May I ask the Saiyan gentleman's name?"

However.

Wang Shen had no intention of shaking Frost's hand either.

He found it disgusting.

He simply replied indifferently:

"Karotis."

Frost did not mind in the slightest, calmly retracting his palm.

He, too, looked down upon this Saiyan entirely.

In fact, if not for the sake of maintaining his persona, he wouldn't have even bothered to stand up.

Frost chuckled and explained:

"Do not worry, Mr. Karotis, the pirates have already been locked up by me."

His voice was soft and delicate, giving off a natural sense of intimacy and trustworthiness.

"Additionally, I would like to ask a question."

"Is the transparent cube-shaped spacecraft you just piloted the latest release from the company? I have never seen such a strangely shaped ship, and its speed is far greater than mine."

Deep within Frost's blood-red eyes hid a greedy desire.

If it was something newly developed by the spacecraft company, he would go straight to monopolizing it.

If it wasn't, he would naturally seize this one for himself as well.

Wang Shen smiled faintly, his brilliant golden pupils fixed on Frost's suppressed crimson irises, and said:

"No, it is called a Shuttle Cube."

"The speed of the Shuttle Cube is indeed very fast; it is the fastest mode of transport in the universe, and it is also very sturdy and comfortable. You can consider it unique to me."

Frost's breathing hitched. Noticing Karotis's incredibly brazen gaze, he suppressed his inner rage and spoke:

"Is that so? I see that the Shuttle Cube seems to have a convenient storage function. I wonder if Mr. Karotis has any intention of selling the Shuttle Cube?"

"I can pay ten times the price to purchase it. You know, I, Frost, am not short on money."

"Oh?"

Wang Shen feigned surprise and asked curiously:

"Are you really willing to pay ten times the price to buy my Shuttle Cube?"

Frost's previously smiling face darkened. Gritting his teeth in secret, he continued:

"Of course. Everyone knows that I am a man of my word."

Damn Saiyan, I'll kill you the moment you take out the Shuttle Cube.

How bold, actually daring to covet my money!

"Fine! I believe you, Frost."

Not.

Wang Shen added in his heart, while saying with apparent delight:

"Then I shall bring it out; you had better have the money ready for me."

Frost nodded with a chuckle.

At the same time, he gave a subtle wink to Shazad, who was standing quietly to the side.

It was no wonder Shazad could become Frost's capable right-hand man.

He immediately caught Frost's subtle instruction and moved toward the console very naturally.

His purple fingers brushed over a button, ready to press it at any moment.

Wang Shen naturally saw the subtle exchange and movements of the two men before him, but he acted as if he hadn't noticed.

Wang Shen even felt he was enjoying himself, acting out a scene with two clowns.

You think you're on the fifth floor, while I'm on the first.

In reality, I'm on the tenth floor!

Who is the prey? Who is the hunter?

The next second, with a thought from Wang Shen, a miniature version of the Shuttle Cube instantly appeared on the floor of the main control room.

Seeing such a convenient storage method with his own eyes, Frost's eyes lit up immediately, and a sinister smile crept onto his lips.

Then, Frost proposed that as the buyer, he needed to inspect the goods.

Thus, without waiting for Wang Shen's consent, he prepared to enter the interior of the Shuttle Cube to experience it.

Just as Frost was about to take the final step into the Shuttle Cube.

Wang Shen reached out and blocked Frost's path.

Frost narrowed his eyes, a dangerous aura radiating from his body.

The Shuttle Cube was already before his eyes, and it was time to deal with this annoying Saiyan.
