"It was just the scouter malfunctioning, Nappa. Stop putting on a show!" Vegeta roared.

"Whew~"

Nappa let out a heavy breath, stared coldly at Vegeta, and sneered. "Whether I'm putting on a show or not, Your Highness, experience it for yourself!"

"Hmph! Big talk!" Vegeta snorted and immediately launched an attack on Nappa!

Boom!!

An energy blast struck Nappa solidly, kicking up dust that filled the sky.

"Heh~ So it really was just a show!" A smile appeared on Vegeta's face, but when Nappa's completely unscathed figure slowly emerged before him, Vegeta's face once again showed shock.

Nappa brushed the dust off himself and mocked, "Vegeta, is that all the power you have? What a disappointment!"

"What?!"

Vegeta stared at the unharmed Nappa in astonishment, then clenched his fists viciously and roared, "Nappa, stop talking big! I'll destroy you right now!"

Whoosh!

Vegeta leaped into the sky, gathering a massive amount of energy between his palms...

"Ah da da da da da!!"

Vegeta roared as he unleashed his signature technique—Prince Warfare!

"I'll use this move to finish you!!"

Vegeta looked at the dust billowing below and assumed the opening stance of his ultimate attack. "Galick Gun!!"

Pop!!

Just as Vegeta was about to unleash his ultimate technique, an energy blast shot rapidly out of the dust below, catching him completely off guard!

"What?!"

Vegeta cried out, only to be struck by the energy blast!

Boom!!

With an explosive blast and Vegeta's miserable scream, he fell from the sky trailing black smoke.

Thud~

Vegeta crashed heavily onto the ground.

Whoosh!

Nappa flashed before Vegeta, raised his size-48 shoe, and viciously stomped on Vegeta's face. He grinned savagely. "Vegeta, how does it feel? How does it feel to be stepped on by a warrior you once looked down upon?"

"D... damn... Aaargh!!" As Vegeta felt the pressure on his face increase, he could even hear the sound of his own bones breaking, and he could not help letting out a shrill howl.

Seeing this, Son Goku could not help frowning. With a flash, he appeared before Nappa and pulled him away!

"He's already lost the ability to fight. There's no need to continue this meaningless torture!" Son Goku said.

"Kakarot!" Nappa glared at Son Goku, then glanced at the miserable Vegeta on the ground. Most of the resentment in his heart had already been vented, so he spared Vegeta.

Li Wei walked over, looked down at the miserable Vegeta, and raised a hand to gather a ball of light, healing Vegeta's injuries.

After recovering, Vegeta looked somewhat stunned. Once he came to his senses, he immediately grinned viciously, scrambled to his feet, and launched a sneak attack at Nappa!

Whoosh!

Li Wei stepped in front of Vegeta and firmly caught his fist, smiling. "A sneak attack isn't something an excellent warrior would do."

Bang!!

Li Wei drove a knee into him, and a visible shockwave burst through Vegeta's back!

"Aaargh!"

The pain made Vegeta's eyes roll back. He screamed and spat out a mouthful of blood, then collapsed limply to the ground, curling up in a miserable posture.

Seeing Vegeta lying on the ground unable to rise, Nappa loosened his tightly clenched fists in disappointment. He had just been secretly delighted, thinking he could give Vegeta another good beating, but unfortunately, his plan had fallen through.

"The mighty Saiyan prince looks truly pathetic now, Vegeta!"

Nappa mocked him and even wanted to step forward and kick Vegeta a couple of times, but Li Wei stopped him.

"Nappa, that's enough," Li Wei said.

Since Li Wei had said so, Nappa was somewhat disappointed, but he could only obediently stop.

"Vegeta, can we talk properly now?" Li Wei crouched down, looked at the struggling Vegeta with a smile, and asked.

Vegeta struggled to open his eyes, staring fixedly at Li Wei. He wanted to speak, but the piercing pain in his abdomen prevented him from making a sound.

"Looks like you still need some time to recover." Li Wei hoisted Vegeta onto his shoulder, turned, and smiled. "Let's go back."

Son Goku was stunned for a moment and asked in confusion, "Aren't we going to say goodbye to Grand Elder?"

"There's no need. Let's go back." As Li Wei's words fell, everyone instantly teleported back to Earth.

Earth, Universal Technology Company.

Rooftop Gravity Chamber.

Vegeta had recovered by now. He glared fixedly at Li Wei and the other two, snorting. "Kill me or torture me, do as you please!"

Li Wei shook his head. "I have no intention of killing you. On the contrary, I'm planning to hire you as the head bodyguard of my company. What do you think?"

"You want me to submit to you? Impossible!" Vegeta snorted coldly.

Li Wei smiled. "If you can work for Frieza, why can't you work for me? By the way, Frieza works under me too."

"What?!"

Vegeta was instantly stunned upon hearing that, then sneered. "What shameless boasting!"

Li Wei did not argue with Vegeta. He simply raised a hand and snapped his fingers, summoning Frieza, who had been diligently training on Frieza Planet.

Whoosh!

Frieza was summoned over. He looked around in bewilderment, then saw the person he least wanted to see in his life.

"L-Lord Li Wei!" Frieza gritted his teeth inwardly, yet had no choice but to bow and salute Li Wei.

Vegeta was still rather confused by Frieza's sudden appearance. "Who is he?!"

Clearly, he had never seen Frieza's final form, so he did not recognize him.

Frieza glanced at Vegeta and sneered. "Oh my, isn't this Vegeta? What's wrong? It's only been a few days, and you no longer recognize your king?"

Hearing that familiar voice, tone, and oppressive aura, Vegeta's mouth fell open. He pointed at Frieza in disbelief and asked, "Y-You're Frieza?!"

Frieza chuckled. "Vegeta, this is your first time seeing this form of mine, isn't it? Consider yourself honored to witness your king's true form!"

Tap~

Son Goku suddenly stepped in front of Frieza, his eyes burning as he stared at him.

Frieza looked at Son Goku disdainfully. "What is it? Saiyan, judging by that look in your eyes, you want to challenge me? It's only been a few days since I taught you a lesson. Have you already forgotten your king's terror?"

At those words, Son Goku was not afraid at all. Instead, his fighting spirit surged even higher. Smiling, he said, "Frieza, I've become stronger than I was a few days ago. Let's have a match!"

"No interest!" Frieza snorted, then turned toward Li Wei and bowed slightly. "Lord Li Wei, why have you summoned me? What are your orders?"
