In the office.
Zarbon, with an extremely respectful demeanor, reported on the maintenance work that had been carried out at the base over the past few days.
" Lord Turles, everything is back on track."
"Yes, Mr. Zarbon, your abilities are indeed outstanding. Just keep it up until the King recovers." Turles smiled with satisfaction.
"This is all my duty, sir!" Zarbon stood at attention meticulously.
"By the way, has there been any result regarding that matter?" Turles frowned, showing how much he valued it.
Zarbon's face fell slightly. "Sir, the Heeters Group dissolved ahead of schedule. When we started our investigation, we had already lost contact with them; they must have gone into hiding."
"Heh, that's in line with those guys' style. Since they dare to do something like this, they must have a way out beforehand..."
"However, this is not an excuse for them to continue evading responsibility. Intensify the search and show those guys the determination of Frieza Force!"
Zarbon solemnly accepted the order and turned to leave the room.
On that day, Turles was like a god descended from the heavens to the members of Frieza Force.
He saved King Frieza from that green monster.
There have even started to be rumors that Lord Turles is stronger than King Frieza.
After a brief moment of smug satisfaction, Turles still decided to help Little Frieza save face.
Although he is actually much stronger than Frieza is now.
However, it's better to keep this kind of thing a secret.
To jump out and show off at this time is tantamount to drawing the attention of the entire universe to oneself.
He might even fall out with Frieza, so what's the point of his urgent rescue then?
Yes, why did I save him?
Come to think of it, Frieza's current predicament seems to be of his own making, doesn't it?
My apologies!
But wouldn't this count as settling the score...?
As Turles was pondering, Berryblue suddenly walked in.
" Lord Turles!" She stood at the doorway and tapped the ground lightly with her cane.
Turles looked up and politely forced a smile.
"Ms. Berryblue!" I rose to greet her.
"Ms. Berryblue, you're too kind. In terms of rank, I'm only A-level, and in terms of seniority, I'm a junior."
Berryblue smiled and waved her hand.
" Lord Turles is being too polite. Rank and seniority are irrelevant. Headquarters now operates on your orders as the highest principle."
She pulled out a chair and sat down.
" Lord Turles, I've come today to discuss something with you."
"It's about some of the King's recent remarks..." Berryblue, looking at Turles.
I want to observe his reaction.
I thought something serious had happened, but it's just this!
But this stance is probably a test of loyalty.
Turles was prepared.
"To be honest, Ms. Berryblue, I'm troubled by this matter. Even if you hadn't come to me, I would have gone back to you."
"The King is the absolute soul of the Legion, and his dignity must not be compromised. I wonder if Ms. Berryblue has any thoughts on this?"
Are you testing me?
Sorry, I won't take the test, and I'll return the favor with the same test!
Upon hearing Berryblue simply smiled and nodded.
" Lord Turles is very kind."
"In that case, I'm relieved."
"I have already witnessed Lord Turles ' loyalty, so I will be frank: we don't need to do anything."
" King Frieza won't take such things to heart; what matters to him are other matters..."
As Berryblue continued speaking, Turles realized something was amiss.
Is Your Majesty concerned with something else?
But isn't the king still in the sanatorium?
It seems they've already come out.
No wonder, I hadn't seen this Ms. Berryblue trying to test me like this a few days ago.
So there was someone manipulating things.
Turles understood; cooperating with Berryblue in a little act wouldn't be a big deal.
"I don't understand, what is it that Your Majesty is concerned about?"
Berryblue shook her head.
He got up and paced back and forth in the room.
"Actually, this danger contains a secret, a secret about King Frieza..."
"That Slug was able to inflict such severe damage on the King by exploiting this secret..."
"And this secret is also the king's weakness; only a very few people know it!"
"What Your Majesty cares about is why Slug knows this secret!"
This so-called secret, Turles already knew without being told.
It's just a matter of transformation, isn't it?
A certain lazy king chose to seal away his innate power because he didn't want to spend time adapting to it.
This led to the reverse development of three degenerate morphologies.
This is simply baffling in the world of transformation.
"So, Your Majesty's meaning is now, to suspect..."
Berryblue in, lowering her voice, "Actually, the King's current appearance isn't his true form..."
She told Turles about Frieza's transformation.
"Besides us, only the King Cold, King Frieza, and Cooler knew about this."
wrong!
Wait, what do you mean by "besides us"?
Turles frowned.
Didn't you just tell me that to my face?
Why include him?
Good heavens, Turles felt he was tasting something else entirely.
It seems that these Berryblue might not have been sent by Frieza to discuss matters.
They're just here to drag someone down with them, aren't they?
She knew that once Frieza emerged from the treatment chamber, he would become suspicious of those who knew the secret of his transformation.
Berryblue is trying to get him to share the firepower...
I treat you like a senior, and you treat me like a traitor?
Okay, okay!
Turles showed no mercy, stating sternly, "Ms. Berryblue, please allow me to correct you, I was unaware of this beforehand!"
Berryblue a little embarrassed, as if her little scheme had been exposed in public.
But Turles wouldn't give her any face, and she said there was nothing she could do.
I could only pretend I didn't understand.
The analysis continues.
"I understand, Lord Turles. What I wanted to say was, King Cold and Cooler, who do you think is more likely to...?"
Before Berryblue could finish speaking, a soldier rushed in to report, " Lord Turles! King Cold has arrived!"
Turles and Berryblue glances, then got up to greet them.
An aura far more terrifying and ancient than Frieza's normal state swept down like a tsunami.
A figure taller and more imposing than Frieza appeared in everyone's sight.
He wore a blue and red cloak symbolizing supreme power, and the purple keratin on his head and shoulders was more rugged. His face was seven parts similar to Frieza's, but his features were more hardened.
He walked through the base's alloy corridors, followed by several soldiers.
Soon, the high-ranking officers of Frieza Force, led by Turles, approached.
Before Turles and the others could even speak, the King Cold preemptively spoke first.
"I've heard that Frieza Force's army has fallen so low that it's being managed by a crude Saiyan monkey. Has Frieza Force run out of manpower?"
When Turles arrived before the King Cold, Turles did not choose to remain silent in the face of the king's sarcastic remarks.
If you come up and are polite, I might treat you with even more courtesy.
But he just wants to use his verbal skills.
Who are you?
Do you think you're a king too?
He immediately retorted.
"Mr. King Cold, are you too idle in your old nest? What brings you here to visit our Frieza Force?"
Upon hearing this, the three commanders behind him and Captain Ginyu all looked surprised!
Holy crap!
Is Lord Turles that assertive?
Turles's unwavering stance surprised the King Cold.
A terrifying aura emanated from him.
"Ignorant monkey, do you know who you're talking to?"
" Frieza failed in his duty by not cleaning up after you savage monkeys!"
Turles ignored this and continued to hold his head high.
This old guy gives off the impression of coming back to seize power.
He certainly wouldn't back down. If he wanted to resort to force, he might not mind teaching him right here what it means to have a new emperor and a new court.
Just as the atmosphere was gradually becoming tense and delicate.
It was immediately broken by a familiar voice.
"What do you intend to do to my Mr. Turles?"
"Dad."
