Turles received a notification from Zarbon that he needed to return to headquarters for a meeting.
It was called a meeting, but it was really just a triennial debriefing session within Frieza Force.
Only high-ranking officials are eligible to participate.
This was also Turles' first time participating in such a high-level meeting.
This is also a good opportunity to give Earth's warriors a long vacation of a month or two.
Besides giving them a break, I also had Dr. Gero bring back a few guardians to Earth.
After all, we're usually out working, so we need to strengthen Earth's defenses. Otherwise, it would be a laughing stock if our home got raided one day.
The main issue is that we definitely can't bring Kakarot to headquarters to show his face.
Little Frieza... no, I mean King Frieza, who knows what kind of reaction he'll have if he sees too many crab heads.
I'd better not provoke him.
(P. S.: Regarding the claim that Frieza can easily beat someone up with just two push-ups, I hope everyone just treats it as a joke and doesn't take it seriously in the book. In Resurrection ‘F’, 'Frieza's Power Level caught up with Super Saiyan Blue in just four months after his resurrection. Besides the need for the plot, his soul underwent Hell training in Heaven for decades, and it took him ten years to develop Black Gold. His talent is undeniable, but if we take this joke seriously, we can't continue writing. All you sensible Z Fighters understand this, right?)
As for the original Turles Crusher Corps, they didn't come along either; the Sixth Branch still had some things to take care of.
Turles can handle this alone.
During the voyage.
Turles gazed at the deep starry sky.
A subtle sense of warning inexplicably rose in my mind.
What's wrong?
Has it been because I haven't been sleeping well lately?
His thoughts began to wander in a jumbled mess.
Speaking of which!
We still haven't heard from that Slug guy!
It has been almost four years since we broke away from the Slug Army.
Could it be that the old man has already left?
Otherwise, why has there been no movement for so long?
However, if this old fellow really comes knocking on his door now, Turles wouldn't mind personally sending him to his grave.
Given his frail and ailing state, Turles had absolutely no need for Super Saiyan.
Normalcy is already an insurmountable mountain for Slug.
You could spin it like a top with just one hand.
Turles shook his head.
I shook off those jumbled thoughts from my mind.
That said, the journey still has more than ten days to go!
This is truly agonizing!
Turles was also fed up with this outdated space technology.
Some spaceships were previously provided to Dr. Brief for improvements.
After I get back, I'll have to check on how the research is going.
On a new planet that has just been planned for reconstruction.
Frieza listened to Zarbon's report, his eyes narrowing comfortably.
Zarbon then presented Frieza with an illustrated book of moderate thickness.
The Biography of Frieza: The Great Peacekeeper!
The latter took it and began to look through it.
Frieza flipped through the pages listing charitable acts that he had never done but which were all signed off on.
At the same time, Zarbon's explanation followed, "Your Majesty, this biography has now reached its tenth volume."
"It's a bestselling book in the Sixth Branch Starfield!"
"It's even been sold to other star systems... It's said that in some remote star systems, people have started to spontaneously compile other types of reading materials for Your Majesty, and it seems that some people think this is a trend..."
" Lord Turles personally covered all the expenses of the Sixth Branch this year, and not only that, he also contributed 5% of the Legion's revenue."
"This is the first profitable contribution from the Sixth Branch in its 100-year history since its founding during the reign of the King Cold..."
In layman's terms, it was a place where there was no profit to be made, and it had always been supported by the legion. But this time, for the first time ever, it actually made money...
Frieza couldn't help but applaud after hearing this.
"Hehehe, I knew I hadn't misjudged him!"
" Zarbon, don't you think so?"
Zarbon nodded respectfully, "Of course! Your Lord Turles ' wisdom is profound, I admire it!"
" Dodoria, what do you think?" Frieza looked at Dodoria beside him again.
Dodoria shuddered and quickly agreed.
"Indeed, Your Majesty, you have a keen eye for talent. Lord Turles's mind is beyond my comprehension."
"Hehehe, it's rare to hear two people like you say such things. Mr. Turles is indeed an elite among one in a million!"
"To achieve this level in just the first year... if this method were replicated in other star systems..."
"In that case, wouldn't Frieza Force be able to ensure that all its branches generate revenue?"
Frieza began to think.
" King Frieza, I believe..." Zarbon stepped forward slightly.
There were things on his mind, but he didn't dare to say them directly.
"Mr. Zarbon, please share your thoughts," Frieza said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I believe that only Lord Turles can comprehend the deeper logic behind his method."
"If Your Majesty has any ideas, why not just ask Lord Turles directly?"
Frieza nodded after hearing this, "That's true!"
"For such an important matter, it's best to listen to the opinions of professionals..."
"By the way, Mr. Turles, he should be on his way by now, right?"
Zarbon nodded in response, "Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Not only Lord Turles, but also Commander Sorbet and Commander Berryblue are on their way."
" Captain Ginyu, along with Abo and Commander Cado, returned to base yesterday."
Frieza tapped lightly on the exquisite book titled " The Biography of Frieza," his tone carrying the pleasure of appreciating a work of art.
"Not only did he turn a perpetually loss-making branch into a profitable one, but he also knew how to cultivate such a positive image for me. If only everyone were as outstanding as Mr. Turles..."
Seeing this, Dodoria's eyes darted around, as if he had suddenly remembered something.
He quickly added, "By the way, Your Majesty! Speaking of talent, the Heeters Group sent word recently that they'd like to recommend a member for the Legion."
He paused deliberately, observing Frieza's reaction.
Seeing that he indeed looked at him with interest, he continued, "According to them, that guy is quite powerful in Power Level, and he has shown great sincerity in Frieza Force!"
Frieza's tail twitched slightly. " The Heeters Group... another talent willingly surrendering?"
This scene inevitably reminded him of Turles's arrival.
At first, Mr. Turles was also an unknown Saiyan, but he ended up with such a huge surprise.
Is history about to repeat itself?
A flicker of anticipation rose in Frieza's heart.
He could never have too many subordinates like Mr. Turles.
Although I had already decided to deal with those bugs in Heeters.
But ultimately, it's not time to be completely clear yet. When it comes to talented people, it's never a loss to meet them.
If there really is a surprise, then we'll have hit the jackpot.
"Hehehe... Interesting. Could it be another outstanding talent like Mr. Turles?" Frieza's interest was completely piqued.
"Then let's meet."
"Let's go, we should head back too."
"I need to rush back for a meeting in a few days, so I'll take the opportunity to meet this outstanding soldier."
He spoke softly, a hint of barely perceptible pleasure in his voice.
"This year's conference will likely be more interesting than ever before..."
