"Hmph!"
"Pathetic trash, not worth a single blow!"
Looking at Zarbon's corpse falling from the sky, Piccolo was filled with disdain, as if he had not had nearly enough.
He had not even gotten into the fight, yet Zarbon was already dead beyond doubt!
"What a bore!"
Piccolo turned around and slowly walked back.
"That was amazing, Uncle Piccolo!" Gohan said excitedly.
"Nothing to it!" Piccolo replied.
Piccolo was remarkably calm at that moment, but Vegeta's heart was anything but peaceful.
Without comparison, there was no harm!
Vegeta had witnessed with his own eyes that Zarbon had not possessed the slightest ability to fight back before Piccolo!
Without any suspense, Piccolo had easily defeated Zarbon!
Yet when Vegeta had fought Zarbon earlier, he had been brutally beaten down by him!
Those two completely different outcomes deeply provoked Vegeta.
"This is impossible!"
Vegeta simply could not accept such a reality.
Not long ago, he had still been able to effortlessly suppress Piccolo. He could have easily killed Piccolo!
But now, Piccolo had surpassed him by far!
Although he had long guessed that Piccolo was stronger than him, when that guess was confirmed, he still found it hard to accept.
Vegeta was now filled with confusion.
What exactly had happened?
In just two months, that utterly unremarkable Namekian had actually grown stronger than him.
And he was the Prince of the Saiyans!
Vegeta's proud self-esteem had been trampled without mercy!
He looked at Son Goku and the others, his eyes full of unwillingness.
"Zarbon has been gone for so long. Why hasn't he returned yet?"
Frieza toyed with the five Dragon Balls before him, his words full of impatience.
Faced with his question, none of his subordinates dared to answer.
"Hmph!"
"What a useless fool!"
He swept his gaze over the crowd and continued, "When will the Ginyu Force arrive?"
At that moment, a strange-looking alien stepped forward and respectfully said, "Lord Frieza!"
"According to the news from base headquarters, the Ginyu Force will arrive on Namek in about half an hour!"
Upon hearing the news, Frieza's mood visibly improved.
"Ho ho ho!"
"Once the Ginyu Force reaches Namek, I'll have far less to worry about!"
"Since the Ginyu Force is coming, I can do without those two pieces of trash, Zarbon and Dodoria!"
"Ho ho ho!"
Frieza's subordinates lowered their heads tremblingly, not daring to utter a word.
They could feel bone-deep coldness within Frieza's laughter.
"I truly want to gather all seven Dragon Balls soon and fulfill my wish for immortality!"
Frieza laughed wildly, his face growing ever more ferocious.
Vegeta was in an extremely miserable state now. His stamina could only barely support him as he flew through the air.
Looking at Wu Fei and the others, his heart was filled with frustration.
"Damn it!"
"Why have they all become so strong?"
Meanwhile, Piccolo and the others remained remarkably calm and did not take Vegeta seriously at all.
After all, their strength had truly surpassed Vegeta now.
"Mr. Wu Fei, why did you save him? He's not a good person!"
Krillin spoke up, still deeply hostile toward Vegeta.
"I have my reasons," Wu Fei said calmly.
Hearing Wu Fei's response, Krillin said nothing more.
At the same time, Krillin knew that the battered Vegeta posed no threat to them at all.
Even Krillin himself could easily take Vegeta down.
Pfft!
With a flick of his wrist, Wu Fei sent a Senzu Bean flying into Vegeta's hand.
"Eat it," Wu Fei said calmly.
"What?"
Krillin was thoroughly shocked. It was one thing for Wu Fei to save Vegeta, but he had even given him a Senzu Bean to restore his strength!
Vegeta stared in alarm at the green bean in his hand, his eyes filled with confusion.
It was the first time he had ever seen such a bean!
Why did he give me this bean?
Could this bean have some special effect?
Half doubtful, Vegeta swallowed the bean.
"Ah!"
The moment the bean entered his stomach, Vegeta felt a warm current spread through his body, making his exhausted body feel incredibly comfortable.
Before long, Vegeta's face filled with disbelief, followed by boundless delight.
"My strength has fully recovered!"
Vegeta was astonished to find that all his injuries had healed, and his formerly weakened body was brimming with power!
He had returned to his peak condition!
He had never imagined that such an ordinary-looking bean could have such miraculous effects!
Moreover, this bean was far more effective than the healing fluid they had used before.
Although healing fluid could also heal a severely wounded warrior, it required a considerable amount of time.
But after consuming this miraculous bean, one only needed a few minutes to return to peak condition!
Boom!
Overjoyed, Vegeta could not help releasing his aura.
This time, he erupted with an even stronger aura than before.
The Saiyans' extraordinary trait caused Vegeta's strength to surge dramatically.
"Hmph!"
Vegeta became confident once again.
Although he was still no match for Wu Fei and Son Goku, he had already surpassed everyone else.
After recovering from his injuries, his strength had soared. He could now sense that his power had reached Piccolo's level.
However, with his extensive combat experience, Vegeta was absolutely confident that he could suppress Piccolo.
That Namekian is definitely no match for me! Vegeta thought.
Then Vegeta turned his gaze toward Wu Fei, deep in thought.
He still could not understand why Wu Fei had come to save him.
When he had previously invaded Earth, Vegeta had been arrogant and full of ambition, intending to conquer the planet completely.
However, Wu Fei had stepped forward.
No matter what Vegeta tried, he could not defeat Wu Fei. He had been utterly crushed by Wu Fei in every aspect!
Under Wu Fei's one-sided beating, Vegeta had suffered severe injuries and completely lost his ability to fight.
Wu Fei could have killed him at any time, but he had chosen to spare him.
And just now, Wu Fei had once again saved him from Zarbon.
He had even used a miraculous bean to completely heal his injuries.
Wu Fei had saved Vegeta twice in a row!
Vegeta simply could not make sense of it.
"Thank you for saving me!"
Despite Vegeta's cold heart, he sincerely thanked Wu Fei this time.
Krillin and the others were extremely surprised.
No one understood Vegeta's personality better than Krillin.
Vegeta was a cold-blooded man who could cruelly kill even his own companions, utterly hard-hearted and devoid of humanity.
Krillin had once thought Vegeta was an emotionless machine, incapable of any emotional fluctuation.
Yet now, he was sincerely thanking Wu Fei.
"This is utterly absurd!" Krillin muttered.
