Strike First, Then Speak

Thump, thump, thump.

Raditz, already shaken, retreated three steps in a row, his face full of disbelief as he asked, "Who exactly are you?"

At this point, if he really still took that battle power of 920 seriously, then Raditz would be truly stupid.

"My name is Son Gohan. My father is Son Goku, which makes me the son of the younger brother you call Kakarot," Son Gohan said with a smile.

"The son of a low-class warrior—how could he possibly have this kind of strength? Absolutely impossible!" Raditz still refused to believe what he was seeing.

Son Gohan shook his head and said, "If you still refuse to believe it, then open your eyes wide and take a good look!"

As soon as his words fell, a powerful aura erupted from Son Gohan.

Beep, beep, beep, beep!

The scouter over Raditz's left eye suddenly began blaring alarms like mad, the text on it flickering and changing rapidly.

1200... 1600... 2300... 2700... 3300...

In the end, beneath his terrified gaze, the scouter's data finally stopped at the number 3780.

One had to know that scouters could record data and transmit it. Right now, Son Gohan's voice and data would both be sent to the scouters of Nappa and Vegeta on the other side of the stars.

This number would not make Nappa and Vegeta overly nervous, yet it was just the right figure to drive Raditz into despair.

"H-How is that possible? 3780? That's impossible!" Raditz began to stammer.

If even Son Gohan had reached this battle power, then how high would Son Goku's, as his father, be?

Just then, Raditz suddenly remembered the purpose of his trip. He immediately said, "I-I didn't come here this time to cause trouble for you. I'm..."

Bang!

At that moment, a tiny burst of energy shot from Son Gohan's finger and knocked Raditz's scouter straight off.

"I know. You came to find my father because you wanted to drag him into your team and have him conquer some troublesome planet with you, right?" Son Gohan interrupted Raditz.

"H-How do you know that?" Raditz's entire body began to tremble faintly. He was starting to be somewhat afraid of Son Gohan.

"I also know that one of the people behind you is called Nappa, from a noble family among the Saiyans, and the other is called Vegeta, the son of your King Vegeta, right?"

Son Gohan crouched down and came before Raditz, continuing, "I also know that Nappa's battle power is around 4000, while Vegeta's battle power is around 18000, right?"

Raditz shifted backward and swallowed, his voice trembling as he said, "W-What do you want to do?"

Son Gohan sneered, stood up, and said, "Just the three of you, and yet you actually think you're the remaining pride of the Saiyans, while still working all this time for the guy who wiped out your race."

"You're talking nonsense!"

Raditz growled, "Our home planet clearly self-destructed. Besides, how could Lord Frieza possibly attack Planet Vegeta? We've always been working tirelessly for him."

Son Gohan naturally would not say that it was the God of Destruction Beerus's dissatisfaction with King Vegeta that had led to the Saiyans' extinction.

"My grandfather, which is to say your father, Bardock, discovered Frieza's conspiracy at the very first moment and was also the first to choose to resist Frieza."

"We have a blood feud with Frieza, yet you've kept serving him all this time."

Son Gohan looked coldly at Raditz, constantly assaulting his mental defenses with his words. "So what if someone is a low-class warrior? As long as they train hard, they can still surpass those so-called elite warriors and royals."

"Because the most direct proof is me and my father. You've already seen my battle power. I'm not weaker than those guys at all."

"And if you weren't my uncle by blood, I might already have killed you outright."

When he said this, Raditz could sense the chill in Son Gohan's words, and he could tell that what the other party said was true.

That was right. Son Gohan wanted to take in Raditz, for no other reason than because of his bloodline.

In the original work, by the end of Universe 7, there were only those few Saiyans left. It got to the point where, in front of Beerus, if not for Great Saiyaman's daughter, they might not even have been able to transform into a Super Saiyan God.

That was right. Nappa and Raditz were both methods Son Gohan planned to use in the future to break through to Super Saiyan God.

Although according to the legend from Shenron's mouth, five Saiyans with righteous hearts were needed, Son Gohan was still confident that he could change these two guys over such a long period of time.

After all, even Vegeta could go from an evil villain at the beginning to eventually becoming one of the Saiyans with a righteous heart. That proved people could change.

At this moment, Raditz realized that the other party had no intention of killing him, so his mood quickly calmed down again.

"If you don't want to be trash, then follow me and become stronger. Very soon, we'll be able to kill our greatest enemy with our own hands," Son Gohan said slowly as he looked at Raditz.

Hearing this, Raditz sighed and said, "You don't know just how powerful Frieza really is."

The corners of Son Gohan's mouth lifted slightly, his face full of confidence as he said, "Frieza, of the Frost Demon race, was born with incredibly formidable power. Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to train, or rather, there are hardly any existences capable of forcing him to train himself."

"He can transform three times. At present, his initial form has a battle power of 530,000, his second form has a battle power of 1,200,000, and his third form has a battle power of 2,200,000."

"I understand him far more than the few of you do. So since I dare say this, it means I'm confident I can defeat him."

Son Gohan did not say that Frieza's peak battle power in his final form was 120 million, because that would only scare Raditz out of his wits.

"Or do you still want to run back and keep being that piece of trash trailing behind Vegeta and Nappa?"

"I think with Vegeta's personality, he might just kill you outright."

Although it had not appeared in the original work, anyone with a normal imagination would know that with Raditz's battle power being so much lower, in Vegeta's eyes he was nothing more than useless grunt labor for odd jobs.

After saying that, Son Gohan simply looked at Raditz, waiting for him to make his own decision.

Raditz's expression began changing rapidly. It was obvious that his heart was currently locked in a struggle, but once he thought of the outcome, he actually felt relieved.

The current him actually had no choice at all. He could only obediently submit.

"I am willing to follow you," Raditz said very straightforwardly as he got to his feet.

He had no hang-ups at all. Although Son Gohan looked very young, whether in talent, battle power, or intellect, he far surpassed him.

Raditz even felt that he had surpassed Vegeta as well. If he were given enough time, Vegeta likely would not be his match either.
