Because he was different from the Vegeta in the original story, Raditz knew that if he fired an energy blast, the other side would definitely seize the chance to absorb it.
But if he did not make a move, that man was as cunning as a fox and would never reveal himself in advance.
Son Gohan had actually locked onto Dr. Gero with his psychic power long ago. Even though there was no leaking aura from him, he could not hide beneath Son Gohan's powerful psychic search.
In the original story, if Son Gohan had not noticed him, Piccolo would very likely have been ambushed and killed by Dr. Gero.
At this point, Son Gohan had been thinking about how to draw out Android 17 and Android 18.
Otherwise, with his current strength—no, even if he did not act, as long as he revealed Dr. Gero's location, everyone present could easily kill him.
According to the original plot, Future Trunks's arrival had thrown Vegeta off balance, and Bulma's subsequent arrival had distracted everyone else as well.
Dr. Gero had then taken the opportunity to use a wide-range attack to kick up a huge cloud of dust before escaping.
