Zarbon was startled, his whole body couldn't help but tremble, and his lips turned slightly purple.
His face instantly turned pale, and his palms were covered in cold sweat.
Everyone in the Ginyu Force is dead!
If I go there, wouldn't I just be delivering myself on a silver platter?
His Adam's apple bobbed up and down; he wanted to say something, but didn't dare to speak.
"What? Are you afraid to go?" Frieza asked coldly, his triangular eyes narrowing slightly, his gaze as sharp as a knife.
"Lord Frieza, that's not what I meant!" Zarbon replied hastily, his voice trembling as he lowered his head, not daring to meet Frieza's eyes, his back already soaked with cold sweat.
"Go quietly. There's no need to clash with Vegeta and Rez; I just want to know the truth of the matter!" Frieza instructed Zarbon with narrowed eyes, his tone carrying a hint of impatience.
"Yes, Lord Frieza!" Zarbon breathed a small sigh of relief and hurriedly bowed to show his agreement.
He straightened up and turned to walk toward the hatch, but his steps felt heavy.
It's just to investigate!
It seems there won't be any life-threatening danger.
No, no, that's not right!
Cui, Dodoria, and the Ginyu Force members all went to investigate.
As a result, not a single piece of information was brought back, and they've all vanished without a trace.
What should I do?
Zarbon stepped onto the spaceship with trepidation, his fingers trembling slightly on the control console.
Then, Zarbon set the coordinates for Planet Cyril, took a deep breath, and pressed the start button.
"Whoosh—"
The spaceship detached from Frieza's mothership, its rear ejecting bright flames as it turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the vast sea of stars.
...
A few days later.
Planet Cyril.
Zarbon's spaceship passed through the atmosphere and slowly landed on the planet's surface.
Outside the porthole, purple plants swayed gently in the wind, and the sky was a clear, transparent blue.
The ship's landing gear made contact with the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.
The hatch opened, and Zarbon flew out, landing on an open patch of flat ground.
Monet followed Linoshi's suggestion and mingled among the Hugorians, hoping to slip through unnoticed.
To destroy evidence, Monet had also deliberately destroyed the remaining few spaceships.
At the same time, Monet had briefly cleaned up some traces of the fighting at the scene.
Peace returned to the wasteland, as if that intense battle had never occurred.
Zarbon looked carefully at the battle site, his brow furrowing deeper and deeper.
The traces on the ground had been handled, but a closer look still revealed some clues.
The color of the soil was uneven, the vegetation in some places was clearly new growth, and the texture of the rocks was somewhat unnatural.
His suspicion grew, and he then flew to the Hugorian city, finding a few Hugorians to question.
Those few Hugorians stood inside the city's protective shield, looking at this stranger in a Frieza Force uniform with terror on their faces.
They all spoke at once, saying they only saw the Ginyu Force fighting the Saiyans; later, the battle became too intense, so they immediately went into hiding.
Once the great battle ended, they didn't know what the final situation was.
It seemed that all the spaceships had left the planet.
Then, they resumed their peaceful lives once again.
After the few Hugorians finished speaking, they looked at Zarbon anxiously, fearing this fellow from the Frieza Force would do them harm.
Zarbon frowned, but he didn't do anything to these Hugorians.
With a grim expression, he turned and flew back to his spaceship.
After all, Planet Cyril was conquered on Frieza's orders and sold to the Hugorians at a high price.
These people were Lord Frieza's customers and could not be touched.
Immediately, Zarbon went outside to report to Frieza.
He connected to the communication system and reported the investigated situation in full detail.
Frieza immediately fell into thought, his brow tightly knit, feeling somewhat uncertain.
They fought for so long, and then everyone left?
Then why didn't the Ginyu Force contact him?
The rhythm of his fingers tapping on the armrest grew faster, showing his internal irritation.
"Put this matter aside for now and come back first!" Frieza thought for a moment and issued the order to Zarbon.
"Yes!" Zarbon breathed a long sigh of relief, his heart finally settling back into place.
"Whoosh—"
Zarbon stepped onto the spaceship, closed the hatch, and started the engine.
The ship instantly broke through the atmosphere and entered the vast starry sky, traveling at high speed toward Planet Vegeta.
Outside the porthole, Planet Cyril grew smaller and smaller, finally turning into a purple point of light that disappeared behind him.
...
Rez's spaceship.
The ship flew steadily in auto-navigation mode, the stars outside the porthole streaking past into long bands of light.
The low hum of the engine echoed in the cabin with a hypnotic rhythm.
"How many days until we reach Earth?" Rez asked Vegeta, leaning against the cabin wall next to the control console.
"One more day," Vegeta replied honestly after a quick operation on the computer.
These two guys, Rez and Broly, didn't play by the rules at all.
They loved knocking people out at the drop of a hat!
Until my strength surpasses Broly's, I'd better behave myself.
He stole a glance at Broly, who was drinking water in the corner, and then at Rez, secretly calculating his own cultivation plan.
"Hmm?" Rez suddenly raised an eyebrow, looking toward a certain direction outside the porthole.
"What's wrong, Rez?" Vegeta asked, looking in the direction of Rez's gaze, but seeing nothing.
"I sensed a powerful aura appearing in a region very far from here," Rez mused, rubbing his chin, his eyes narrowing slightly.
"Is it someone else sent by Frieza?" Vegeta wondered, his brow furrowing. "Wasn't our spaceship's communication and positioning system found and destroyed? They shouldn't be able to find our ship!"
"They're not flying toward us, but are in another region," Rez said with a smile.
"What's their power level?" Vegeta asked again, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.
"Around 22,000," Rez said with a slight smile.
"Only that much power level!" A look of joy instantly appeared on Vegeta's youthful face, his mouth curling into a grin, then he guessed, "It must be that fellow Zarbon, right?"
"How clever! It should be him!" Rez nodded.
"Let's take him out while we're at it. That way, just as you said, Frieza will become a bare-bones emperor." Vegeta suddenly became interested, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.
"Fine, let's go then." Rez didn't object.
Rez didn't want Zarbon following them to Earth.
Although the two spaceships weren't currently traveling in the same direction, what if?
If Zarbon discovered their ship and attracted Frieza to Earth ahead of time, it would be very detrimental to Goku's future growth.
"I sensed it too! It really is very far away!" Vegeta immediately released his senses, closing his eyes to perceive carefully.
A moment later, he opened his eyes and accurately pointed out the other party's direction.
