Frost's Absence

"Mr. Karotis, what do you mean by that?"

Frost asked coldly.

As if he hadn't noticed anything unusual about Frost, Wang Shen continued to smile innocently.

His golden eyes revealed just the right amount of longing for money.

"Mr. Frost, what about the ten times the price you promised me?"

At that, the gentle smile vanished completely from Frost's face. He said coldly,

"Don't worry. I won't go back on my word."

As soon as Frost finished speaking, Shazad immediately pressed the button.

In an instant, a laser beam came crashing down from above Wang Shen's head.

Bang!

In the eyes of Frost and the others, Wang Shen was weak and slow to react. He took the laser blast head-on.

Wang Shen stood there dazed, a wisp of white smoke rising from his bright golden hair, as if he had lost all signs of life.

"Ha! You fool!"

Frost sneered and casually formed an energy blast, intending to destroy Wang Shen's corpse.

"Who do you think you are, to make a deal with me?"

"I hate Saiyans the most. They put on a righteous front, arrest criminals everywhere, and uphold order in the universe. How many of my subordinates have you arrested? How many of my businesses have you ruined? The losses you've caused are immeasurable."

"You should all be paying me ten times over. One day, I'll destroy Planet Sadala and kill every last Saiyan."

"Then no one will be able to get in the way of my plans."

On the surface, Frost was a refined gentleman who had won the Universe Peace Prize three times.

But in reality,

Frost was a cruel and wicked devil, just like Frieza.

He started wars, then put an end to them himself. He bought up the land left desolate by war for next to nothing, then made a fortune redeveloping it and restoring its value.

That was what Frost was really up to!

Just as Frost's energy blast was about to fire,

something unexpected happened.

"Finished listing your crimes?"

Wang Shen suddenly moved again and grabbed Frost firmly by the wrist.

Then he squeezed ever so slightly.

A sharp pain shot through Frost's arm. His white bracer shattered, and the purple skin beneath it caved in. The sound of cracking bones followed.

His hand went numb, and the energy blast dissipated on the spot.

Frost gritted his teeth, his face flushed red with rage and his eyes bulging.

"Your strength! How is this possible?"

It wasn't just Frost. The soldiers from the Peacekeeping Force nearby stared in disbelief.

Shazad was the first to react.

He kept pressing the button, sending a steady stream of lasers crashing down toward Wang Shen's head.

Wang Shen's gaze sharpened. He said coldly,

"I was playing along with you before. Now I can't let those lasers hit me anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, an invisible shockwave burst out from Wang Shen and spread in every direction.

The laser cannons above were destroyed, and the laser beams vanished into thin air.

Shazad and the other soldiers who had just picked up their weapons were all sent flying.

The powerful shockwave hurled them through the ship's breached hull and out into space, where they suffocated and froze to death, turning into lifelike ice sculptures.

Frost didn't care in the slightest whether those men lived or died. He kept his eyes fixed on Wang Shen, his gaze cold and merciless.

He was like a vicious, menacing ice serpent.

"Damn Saiyan! You're asking for it!"

Frost suddenly exploded with power, wrenching his wrist free from Wang Shen's grasp.

He held his hand behind his back, still trembling from the pain.

Wang Shen looked at Frost's furious, gritted-teeth expression with amusement.

"I'm not the one dying today. Your subordinates have already been taken care of."

Frost was so enraged that he ground his teeth as he glared at the Saiyan, who had no energy emanating from him at all.

For years, he had used the righteous image he'd crafted for himself to manipulate people throughout the universe.

He'd never imagined that today he would be fooled by a mere Saiyan!

The powerful suction from the hole in the spaceship struck again, pulling Wang Shen and Frost toward the void of space.

But Wang Shen and Frost stood firm, watching one another.

Frost's heart jolted as he finally realized something was wrong.

"Wait, you can survive in a vacuum?"

"You can't possibly be a Saiyan! No Saiyan looks like you!"

Frost shouted in shock.

He couldn't accept being toyed with by the very Saiyans he hated.

"What happened here?"

"Who's there?!"

"Lord Frost!"

Another group of so-called Peacekeeping Force soldiers rushed in.

But before they could figure out what was happening or raise their weapons,

Wang Shen waved a hand, sending them flying out into space to fend for themselves.

"All right. Now your subordinates really are all taken care of."

Wang Shen had already put away the Shuttle Cube.

Now he looked at Frost as if he were a vicious dog waiting to be slaughtered.

"Aaaaaah! Saiyan! I'll tear you apart!"

Frost's fury finally reached its breaking point.

Wang Shen had completely suppressed his aura, so Frost, in his rage, saw him as nothing more than a fairly strong Saiyan with great physical power.

Bang!

Pale purple flames burst around Frost as he frantically raised the energy inside his body.

The force of Frost's outburst destroyed the entire spaceship, reducing it to countless fragments drifting through space.

After a flash of blinding light, Frost transformed directly into his ultimate form.

His small body was made up of white, black, and purple.

He looked almost exactly like Frieza from Universe 7.

Wang Shen nodded and said,

"I never got to meet Frieza back then. I can make up for that disappointment with you today."

"Since you say you'll destroy Planet Sadala someday, I suppose I'll be saving the Saiyans, too."

Frost didn't know who Frieza was, but he could sense Wang Shen's contempt.

Veins bulged on Frost's forehead. He charged impatiently at Wang Shen, roaring,

"Keep dreaming! I've changed my mind. After I kill you, I'll destroy Planet Sadala immediately, then tell everyone you were wiped out by a giant meteor!"

"Then I'll use your extinction to promote my image as a messenger of peace."

"Ho ho ho ho!"

Just thinking about it made Frost burst into a deranged laugh.

"You're disgusting. Now I want to kill you even more."

Wang Shen shook his head and looked at Frost's twisted face in disgust.

He could even see the poison needle hidden at Frost's wrist.

By then, Frost had already charged right up to Wang Shen.

"Die, Saiyan!"

Wang Shen simply stood where he was and landed an ordinary punch squarely in Frost's abdomen.

A wave of force tore straight through him.

Frost spat out a huge mouthful of blood. His internal organs had all been shattered.

At last, he looked up at Wang Shen in utter horror.

Wang Shen turned his fist into a palm and unleashed a terrifying shockwave. It expanded rapidly, enveloping Frost from head to toe.

The shockwave swallowed Frost completely, reducing him to cosmic dust.

Just like the real estate business he'd run, he was now helping build up the universe with his own body.

Wang Shen shook his hand and looked completely calm, as if he'd done something utterly insignificant.

After a moment's thought, he said,

"With Frost gone, when Universe 6 and Universe 7 hold their martial arts tournament in the future, will Cabba end up inviting Caulifla to compete ahead of schedule?"
