"Vegeta! You bastard! You actually dared to destroy Lord Frieza's base! You've got some nerve!" Cui pointed at Vegeta and shouted angrily as soon as he arrived.
Vegeta: "..."
"Hmph, what's that got to do with me?" Vegeta snorted, but didn't bother explaining.
"Vegeta, stop pretending. I know Nappa and Raditz are both dead." Cui smiled contemptuously. "Hehehe, what kind of person could make the invincible Saiyans look so pathetic?"
"Get lost, Cui. I don't have time for your nonsense." Vegeta didn't want to deal with Cui. He planned to fly to Namek immediately.
But just as Vegeta flew past him, Cui grabbed him by the shoulder guard, forcing him to stop with a frown.
"Hey, Vegeta, listen up!" Cui snorted. "Lord Frieza is furious about your unauthorized actions!"
"Hmph, he has no say in what I do!" Vegeta rolled his eyes at Cui and said coldly, "Get your filthy hands off me!"
"But Lord Frieza is magnanimous. He's already forgiven you because you discovered something very worthwhile." Cui smiled faintly and released him.
"You... what did you say?" Vegeta suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Lord Frieza is delighted. Perhaps he'll be able to gain immortality at last!" Cui's smile grew brighter.
"Could it be..." Vegeta was stunned, his expression changing again and again.
"That's right. Namek!" Cui smiled faintly.
Vegeta's face instantly turned ghastly.
This was bad!
That bastard Frieza! He must have heard our conversation through the Scouter.
I was too careless!
I absolutely couldn't let him get his wish.
Then I'd never have a chance to become a Super Saiyan.
"You were planning to use the Dragon Balls to become immortal too, weren't you? You might as well give up on that idea! Hahaha!" Cui burst out laughing. "After Lord Frieza gets his wish, he plans to kill every last Namekian!"
"Bastard!" Veins bulged on Vegeta's forehead. He immediately darted past Cui and headed for the spaceship.
"Whoosh!"
But Cui was faster. In the blink of an eye, he appeared directly in front of Vegeta and blocked his way.
"Vegeta, what do you think you're doing?" Cui sneered.
"Get out of my way! Do you want to die?" Vegeta snarled.
"Vegeta, where's your Scouter?" Cui asked with a smug smile.
"Hmph, I don't need that thing anymore." Vegeta snorted.
I went to Earth and learned how the Saiyans there sensed ki.
If that guy Kakarot can do it, then of course a genius warrior like me can.
From now on, I, Vegeta, won't need a Scouter!
"You don't need it?" Cui was taken aback, but didn't think much of it. Pointing to his own Scouter, he sneered, "Then take a good look at your battle power! It's still 18,000. It hasn't increased at all!"
Vegeta said nothing.
"Do you know how strong I am?" Cui smiled smugly. "I'll tell you. My battle power is 21,000 now, far higher than yours!"
Vegeta's expression changed slightly.
"You ruined Lord Frieza's planet like this. I wouldn't mind capturing you and handing you over to Lord Frieza, so he can deal with you as he sees fit!" Cui sneered.
As soon as he finished speaking, Cui charged toward Vegeta at incredible speed.
Vegeta was startled and hurriedly threw a powerful punch at Cui.
Cui slipped to the side and dodged it.
"Bang!"
Cui suddenly drove an uppercut into Vegeta's stomach, hitting him squarely.
"Urgh..."
Vegeta spat out a mouthful of sour bile as his body shot into the air.
Cui roared with laughter and leaped after him, landing a stylish side kick.
"Rumble!"
Vegeta crashed headfirst into the ground and bounced several times before finally coming to a stop, blood spraying from his mouth.
"A 3,000-point difference in battle power is pretty significant, huh?" Cui laughed more and more recklessly. He strode over and planted his foot on Vegeta's head.
Vegeta was overwhelmed with humiliation.
That bastard!
When had Cui raised his battle power this high?
I remember his battle power wasn't much different from mine!
"Damn it!" Vegeta refused to accept defeat. He swept out with a low kick, almost knocking Cui off his feet.
Then Vegeta attacked in a flash, driving a heavy punch into Cui's chest and dragging him hard across the ground.
Cui's body carved a long furrow through the earth.
But Cui quickly snorted and counterattacked, driving his knee upward into Vegeta's stomach.
"Urgh..."
Vegeta spat blood again.
The next moment, Cui grabbed Vegeta by the hair and slammed him hard into the ground.
"Arrgh..."
Vegeta let out a pained wail, feeling utterly miserable.
"Vegeta, did you think you could beat me?" Cui snorted and beat him mercilessly.
Vegeta was too weak to fight back. Before long, he was on the verge of death.
Cui grabbed Vegeta by the collar and lifted him high, curling his lip in disdain.
"And you call yourself a Saiyan, a warrior race?" Cui snorted. "You can't even beat me, yet you call yourself a genius warrior! You're a joke!"
Vegeta was utterly despondent, overcome with sorrow.
I could accept not being able to beat Kakarot, but now I can't even beat Cui.
It's over!
I'm going to die!
Damn it!
I, Vegeta, still haven't become a Super Saiyan!
I don't want to die!
"What a letdown! I thought we could have some fun!" Cui shook his head in disappointment and tossed Vegeta to the ground like garbage.
"Smack!"
Vegeta hit the ground hard.
The impact knocked the Senzu Bean he'd been carrying in his pocket loose.
The Senzu Bean rolled over to Vegeta.
Vegeta froze for a moment. Seeing the Senzu Bean beside him, he couldn't help thinking of Kakarot's annoying face.
Wasn't this the bean Kakarot gave me?
That guy told me to eat it if I ever got into danger.
I don't want to eat it!
But there's no other choice now. I might as well try.
Vegeta laboriously picked up the Senzu Bean and shoved it into his mouth.
Cui watched silently without trying to stop him.
"What? Eating a bean to soothe your throat before you die?" Cui sneered, unconcerned. "But don't worry. I'm not killing you now. I'm handing you over to Lord Frieza to deal with, so you'll live a little longer!"
Before you continue
