Cooler Force Headquarters.
As he listened to Salza's report, Cooler slowly opened his eyes.
She chuckled softly.
"Ha, it seems I was right. My foolish younger brother really hasn't done any exercise."
"What a pity, Slug almost killed Frieza..."
" Super Saiyan?"
Thinking of this legendary, strongest warrior in the universe.
If that guy under Frieza really is Super Saiyan... then even the strongest warrior in the universe isn't that great!
As expected, the legends are just that—legends. The immense power they possess is beyond the comprehension of outsiders.
The so-called legends are probably just the ignorance of the old days...
"However, now that we've determined that Frieza is no longer a threat, we don't need to be so cautious."
How's our research going?
Salza replied seriously, "It's still a bit of a stretch, Your Majesty..."
That chip... is extremely unstable...
According to the researchers, they have tried every possible method, and the best result they achieved was less than 5% of the chip's power.
"5%... that's still a bit short..."
"I was also thinking of starting with Frieza Force..."
"It seems we still need to slow down, but I suspect my younger brother might not have that much patience."
Cooler's understanding of Frieza.
At this point, they've definitely listed him as their number one enemy.
Given his personality, he might even be planning to take action against himself.
"Try to speed things up as much as possible, don't be too demanding, lower your standards a bit, I need to see the first batch of results as soon as possible..."
"At the same time, put the troops into a state of combat readiness."
"I see!"
Salza withdrew.
Planet Cereal.
Granolah, along with four Heeters Family in disguise, hid in her basement.
What's going on with you guys?
Why would you want to hide here?
"Didn't you know that Planet Cereal and Frieza Force had dealings?" Granolah's expression showed a hint of lingering fear.
Faced with his incomprehension.
Elec smiled wryly, "There's nothing we can do about it."
"We can't hide in a star system that's too remote. If we do, we'll lose all contact with Frieza Force. How will we deal with them then?"
There's another reason that Elec didn't mention.
That is to ensure that the assets they transfer in advance cannot be too far away.
Otherwise, the wealth they've accumulated over the years would be completely without an owner and would be useless!
They had been observing this house in Granolah for a long time.
Almost no one comes here.
Furthermore, they were hiding in the basement.
That would be even safer.
"We may have to hide here for quite some time, but don't worry, we'll leave eventually when the time is right!"
Since they all said so, Granolah hesitated for a moment before nodding.
So, they were also being hunted by Frieza Force.
Frieza Force happens to be Granolah's enemies.
"Okay, but you absolutely mustn't go out. Leave everything to me!"
Elec readily agreed.
After Granolah left the basement, Maki asked Elec, "Big brother, how long are we going to hide here?"
Elec removed his thick camouflage suit. "For now, we'll just have to improvise. At least we can still spend our money here. Let's be patient!"
Opportunity will always come...
Granolah arrived upstairs just as Monaito returned from outside.
"Grandpa, where did you go just now?"
"Oh, it's because you sent me money back that I used it to pay off some of the debt I owed last month," Monaito said, pulling a handful of seeds from his pocket.
I bought some of these while I was at it.
"This used to be the most common tree on Planet Cereal. I haven't seen it in a long time. I didn't expect anyone to be selling it again." Monaito smiled as he poured the seeds into a small bottle.
"I'll plant these around our house next month when the weather is better."
Granolah quickly went over to help tinker with it, and the grandfather and granddaughter sat on the small plain outside.
They were chatting and laughing.
Then, Granolah had an idea and wanted to share it with Monaito.
"By the way, Grandpa, do you know?"
"That Frieza, I heard he was assassinated a while ago!"
Monaito stopped moving. "What?"
" Frieza! That guy was assassinated, though the hero didn't succeed; I heard it was thwarted by a Saiyan..."
" Saiyan? Didn't I hear that the Saiyan are extinct?" Monaito quickly controlled his expression and continued the conversation with Granolah.
"Yes, but there are always a few who slip through the net... What a pity!"
"Villains like Frieza and the Saiyan, who rarely encounter such a life-or-death situation, still manage to escape unscathed."
"Grandpa, do you think bad people are protected by the gods?"
"Why must we, the kind Cerealian and Namekian, suffer the calamity of genocide...?"
Granolah looked angry as she said this.
He couldn't resist throwing a pebble onto the ground.
Seeing this, Monaito also felt uneasy.
But that was all they could do to comfort Granolah.
"Don't worry, those wicked guys will get their comeuppance sooner or later. Look at the Saiyan, weren't they almost wiped out?"
"The assassination of Frieza shows that retribution has begun. Although it didn't succeed this time, who knows what will happen in the future..."
Monaito's words of comfort seemed to have done little to soothe Granolah's resentment.
The latter muttered, "Those guys possess immense power, which they use to invade planets and slaughter life. If there really are gods, why don't they punish them?"
"Does the gods think their actions are right?"
"Grandpa, I really don't understand..."
Seeing Granolah's condition, Monaito became increasingly worried.
Hatred was consuming him; he feared his grandson might do something foolish. "Calm down, please don't act impulsively."
"I have no idea what you're doing, traveling back and forth in space all the time, and I can't watch over you every single moment. But promise me you won't do anything foolish."
"Stay far away from Frieza Force and the Saiyan. Never try to take revenge; you can't!"
"Back then... you barely escaped with your life, you must know how to cherish it... understand?"
Granolah nodded hesitantly.
I went back to my room.
Monaito sat there for a long time.
She slowly got up and walked into the house, murmuring, "So many years have passed, your child must have grown up healthy by now..."
