Red Ribbon Army Headquarters, conference hall.
Facing the hail of bullets strafing toward him, Neo's expression remained indifferent. Given his current combat power, even if he just stood there and let them attack, they wouldn't even dream of scratching him.
However, Neo was not someone willing to just stand there and take a beating. Watching the bullets flying toward him like raindrops, a disdainful arc curled at the corner of his mouth. He merely extended a single finger, its tip wreathed in a faint layer of golden aura. As his wrist swung nimbly, that finger traced trails of afterimages in the air——
"Clang, clang, clang, clang——"
The bullets colliding with his finger produced a continuous, crisp, and endless sound of impact. Those bullets, powerful enough to pierce steel plates, were instantly deflected from their trajectories the moment they touched his fingertip, rebounding back at an even faster speed! The bullets wreaked havoc inside the conference hall, precisely piercing everyone's bodies and harvesting lives...
Amid continuous screams, those high-ranking officials were hit and fell to the ground one after another. For a time, wails filled the place, and blood flowed endlessly.
In just a brief moment, the high-ranking officials of the Red Ribbon Army in the hall were completely wiped out, leaving only Commander Red and Black paralyzed beside their chairs.
The two of them were completely frightened out of their wits, their pupils contracting violently, and cold sweat pouring down like rain. They truly hadn't expected the suddenly intruding person to be strong to this extent. Not only did he ignore the hail of bullets, but he also used his finger to bounce all the bullets back, wiping out all his elite subordinates in a single exchange and making them all die under their own bullets. How could such a terrifying person exist in this world?!
Neo slowly withdrew his finger, the golden aura quietly fading away. He looked around at the corpses covering the floor, his expression remaining as calm as ever, as if he had just done an insignificant trivial matter.
These high-ranking officials of the Red Ribbon Army who had once engaged in a protracted battle with Son Goku in the original work were now easily rounded up and wiped out by him like this.
"How weak!" He softly uttered those two words. The voice wasn't loud, but it struck Red and Black's hearts like a heavy hammer.
Red's complexion was pale, and his lips trembled.
Looking at the two people who were full of fear and backing away in fright, Neo spoke calmly: "Now, hand over all the seven dragon balls! Perhaps I can still grant you a swift death."
Hearing this, Red's expression suddenly changed, a trace of madness and unwillingness flashing in his eyes: "Your goal is actually the seven dragon balls too? Impossible! Those were found with countless efforts of mine, how could I give them to you! Those are mine! They are mine!"
"Wrong answer."
Neo spat out four words expressionless, without the slightest ripple in his eyes. He extended a finger, and an extremely condensed Ki Blast instantly shot out from his fingertip, carrying an aura that destroyed everything.
"Pfft——"
With a soft sound, the Ki Blast precisely pierced Red's glabella. Red's pupils instantly dilated, his body stiffly leaned backward, and he heavily collapsed into a pool of blood, dying with an unfulfilled grievance.
Until his death, he couldn't believe that everything he had painstakingly built up had ended so suddenly.
If there were regret pills in this world, no matter what he said, he would never have touched these seven dragon balls just to grow a little taller!
Seeing that Neo was so decisive in killing, Black trembled all over. He had never thought that he, someone who licked blood off the edge of a blade, would actually have a day of fear. Turns out he too had a dread of death; the reason he didn't before was simply because he hadn't met someone who could terrify him.
Black had already figured it out: nonsense would only welcome death. Therefore, he very straightforwardly went straight to the point: "Don't kill me! I know where the seven dragon balls are! I can take you to get them!"
Neo looked at him calmly and said indifferently: "Unnecessary!"
Saying that, he took out the dragon radar. Looking at the display on the radar, he walked toward Red's desk and casually smashed the desk apart with a palm strike. He retrieved a leather suitcase from the pile of broken wood, and after opening it, five seven dragon balls were safely preserved inside.
Seeing this, Black faced the drastic change: "Oh no! How did he know where the seven dragon balls were placed? Is it the radar in his hand? He can actually find the seven dragon balls precisely?! It's even more sophisticated than the dragon radar made by Dr. Gero?!"
At this moment, Black's mood instantly plummeted to the bottom. The opponent had already found the seven dragon balls, which meant he was useless now! He was dead for sure!
However, after obtaining the five seven dragon balls and putting them into the capsule he carried with him, Neo did not kill Black immediately, but instead said calmly: "Want to live?"
"Yes!" Seeing that there was still a chance, Black nodded without hesitation.
"Then take me to see Dr. Gero!"
Towards this guy who killed his boss Red in the original work, Neo had not a shred of favorable impression. The reason he spared his life was simply to find Dr. Gero. After all, this guy was the vice commander of the Red Ribbon Army and surely knew where Dr. Gero was.
"He, he actually knows Dr. Gero!" Black's heart tightened, his expression instantly turning serious, yet he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. Because he knew that if he hesitated even for a second, he would probably be eliminated by the other party. He immediately said very decisively: "Dr. Gero is right in the basement laboratory. I'll take you to find him!"
Saying that, he directly led the way ahead...
Following behind, Neo guessed that Black certainly wouldn't be honest in his heart. However, it didn't matter; in the face of absolute strength, all his little cleverness would become pale and powerless.
However, right at this moment, the guarding members of the Red Ribbon Army outside heard the gunfire inside and came rushing over to provide reinforcements one after another...
Looking at the people charging toward him in the hallway, Neo's expression remained indifferent. Stretching out one hand, he sent a Ki Blast over. In an instant, those dozens of people were vaporized and disappeared in his light beam...
Looking at Black, who was dumbfounded with fright, he said in a cold voice: "Hurry up and lead the way!"
"Y-Yes, yes!" Black immediately answered respectfully, his heart turning half-cold. That single move just now had instantly shattered all his thoughts and desires of resistance. This person was simply not human; he was a monster. Even the Androids created by Dr. Gero probably weren't his match by a long shot.
Having witnessed Neo's terror, Black didn't dare to pull any more little tricks. He opened the basement door and brought Neo into the laboratory in the basement.
There was no one guarding the laboratory; instead, it was frighteningly quiet.
Looking at the empty basement, Neo frowned slightly and said in a cold voice: "Where are the people?!"
Black instantly broke out in a cold sweat, his face filled with panic and tension: "I remember Dr. Gero was indeed in the laboratory today! Why is he gone? Could it be that he heard the commotion and escaped?"
"It seems that keeping you doesn't seem to be of much use either!" Neo looked at Black with an indifferent expression and said.
