A brand new Dodge Ram sped down the interstate, blasting Metallica's "Fade to Black" at full volume.
"Life it seems, will fade away Drifting further every day"
The passenger, a bald, Latino man with a heavy beard, held Kakarot's tail. His body was covered in bite marks and scratches, bleeding, clearly having gone through a tough struggle to subdue her.
"Fuck! Benny, I don't know why we're taking this brat back to El Paso. We've got five kilos of product in the trunk! If something goes wrong, Burton will have our hides!"
He secured Kakarot with rope.
"You don't get it, Marin. Did you see her tail? Have you ever seen a kid this age with that kind of strength? She's a Mutant, bro! We hand her over to Burton, and he flips her in Juarez, we're looking at a cool eight hundred grand. Eight hundred grand! You got that, bro? That's enough to run twenty times past the cops!"
Juarez had an underground fighting ring that specialized in acquiring Mutants for brutal, bloody fights. Mexican drug lords, Washington officials, Wall Street investors, Hollywood stars – they were all clients of this arena.
Adult Mutants were worth one point two million dollars, and young ones were worth two million. Even after Burton took his sixty percent cut, it would still be a fortune for them.
Young Mutants were valuable to train. After brainwashing and brutal training, they were excellent cannon fodder and bodyguards. Many gang bosses liked to buy them at high prices. Furthermore, this Mutant was female, making her even more valuable.
Driving along the interstate, they soon returned to El Paso and pulled up in front of a tire shop.
A pair of eyes watched the Dodge Ram with caution through the observation window of the roller shutter door.
"We're closed today."
"Come on, Bates, we left here with the goods forty minutes ago."
Silence in the tire shop for a moment, then the roller shutter opened, letting Marin and Benny drive inside. Before the car could even be parked, several rifles were pointed at the car windows, aiming at the two men from all directions.
"This isn't according to the rules, Benny. Even if you ran into trouble on the road, you're not supposed to come back here. You fucked up, man!"
A burly, tattooed, bald man walked to the car window, his expression ferocious.
"No, no, Luis, we definitely didn't have any cops following us. You don't know what we ran into on the road. A Mutant! Only seven or eight years old! That's a lot of money, Burton won't blame us!"
Luis's expression softened. If they had captured a Mutant, then deviating from their route was forgivable.
Broly unscrewed a bottle of water, taking small sips, then picked up a donut from the car and ate it in a few bites. He wasn't in optimal condition, and there was likely a fierce battle ahead. He needed to adjust his state.
"What's your name?"
He asked the middle-aged man in the driver's seat.
"Earl... Earl Sharp."
The middle-aged man was clearly nervous, his hands trembling constantly.
"No, your name is Cade Eagle."
Broly pulled out a package from under the seat, with Cade Eagle's name on it.
"I remember you. What you need to do now is park the car here and wait for me to rescue my companion, then take us away. There won't be any accidents, no danger. Of course, if you try to be clever, then that's another matter."
He opened the door and walked towards the tire shop two hundred meters away.
The Battle Power Detection Glasses on his head were constantly jumping, detecting the combat power and position of the people inside the tire shop.
"8", "11", "7", "8", "9", "3".
Broly walked, doing his best to channel his emotions, making himself angry. Ordinary Saiyans couldn't increase their combat power with anger alone unless they reached the Super Saiyan threshold. But he was different. As a Legendary Super Saiyan, he didn't need a full moon to drastically increase his combat power through anger. He could even enter Rage Form directly after his anger reached the critical point.
"Beep... beep..."
The Battle Power Detection Glasses showed Broly's combat power constantly jumping, with power surging from his body.
"15...18...22...26"
He began charging towards the tire shop.
Cade stared at Broly charging, dumbfounded.
"Is he an idiot!"
Inside the tire shop, Luis crossed his arms, sizing up Kakarot in the car.
"Is she really a Mutant? Besides having a tail, what's so special about her?"
Marin hurriedly showed his wounds.
"She's really strong! I almost lost to her!"
Luis looked at Marin with suspicion, then suddenly raised his hand, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"Did... did you hear something?"
The next moment, the aluminum roller shutter door suddenly twisted and deformed violently, as if hit by an enraged elephant, and flew up. Luis, caught off guard, was slammed head-on, his skull crushed, and brains and blood splattered everywhere.

The intense sunlight shone in, and the few people were momentarily blinded, only able to vaguely see a tall man charging in.
"Motherfucker!"
A gunman raised his rifle, ready to fire. The next moment, the rifle was crushed into a U-shape with a single punch.
Broly ducked, avoiding the bullets fired from the other side. He still couldn't be sure he could withstand a close-range shot from a rifle.
He grabbed the gunman's leg and threw him, slamming him into the other two gunmen, then pressed his hands on the side of the Dodge Ram's door and pulled.
The heavy car body, like a roller, rolled over and crushed the three people into a bloody mess, slamming into the wall. The entire building was shaking violently.
[Experience +15]
Under the great force, the sturdy Dodge Ram was somewhat deformed, but the overall frame was still intact. Broly ripped the car door off.
Benny raised his pistol, aiming at Broly, trembling violently with fear, his face pale, sweating profusely, his teeth chattering uncontrollably.
Before he could pull the trigger, his hand was grabbed by Broly, and with a slight squeeze, the palm and the pistol were crushed into a mixture of flesh and parts.
Benny looked at his hand, which could be made into a dumpling in disbelief, and let out a scream like a woman.
"Your... daughter... she's here... She's not hurt... spare me!"
Marin raised his hands. He saw the tail on Broly's waist, and a deep fear, like a hand, firmly gripped his heart.
Broly took Kakarot, and with a tear, ripped the ropes binding her.
Kakarot, free, immediately hugged his waist and burst into tears, wiping her snot and tears all over his combat suit.
Broly looked at her with disgust, took the long combat sleeve from the car seat, draped it over his shoulder, and with a squeeze of his hands, cleanly snapped the necks of the two people in the car.
