When Betkas arrived at Frieza's spaceship in his spherical ship and walked into a room, he found the self-important Vegeta sitting, looking deep in thought. He immediately spoke.
"It's you?!"
Upon hearing the voice, Vegeta's face instantly turned somewhat ugly. He stood up and looked at Betkas with a face full of anger. Betkas watched the enraged Vegeta and muttered inwardly, "If it were the grown-up you, you'd have the right... But now... you're just a tsundere brat. Ptooey ptooey ptooey... Where did my mind go? It seems transmigrating has made my brain weird too..."
"Huh... Nappa. You're here too?" Betkas suddenly noticed a bald young man sitting nearby and said. The bald youth, Nappa, looked a bit reserved when he saw Betkas walk in, and he replied respectfully, "Prince Three... long time no... see..."
Betkas looked at Vegeta and Nappa and said distractedly, "Hmm. Are we the only three Saiyans left alive?" Vegeta was instantly stunned at the remark, then shouted at Betkas, "What did you say?!" Nappa was also taken aback by Betkas's question.
Betkas looked helplessly at the change in Vegeta's expression, clapped his hands lightly, carefully surveyed the surroundings, and whispered, "Do you want to die shouting so loud? Big Brother... this isn't Planet Vegeta. This is Lord Frieza's spaceship. If they discover something suspicious... we could die. So, don't shout so loudly." As soon as Betkas finished speaking, Vegeta threw a punch at him. Betkas's eyes narrowed. He stretched out his right hand and instantly blocked the incoming punch.
"Don't order me!"
With those five simple words, Vegeta appeared especially cold. Betkas stared at the sharp-eyed Vegeta, sighed lightly, and then said, "Hey... I'm not ordering you. I'm thinking for your sake. You should know... Lord Frieza's spaceship has many guys much stronger than us. Here, strength determines status. Even if we are the Saiyans, the self-proclaimed strongest warrior race in the universe, we are useless without strength."
Vegeta coldly tossed his head, scoffed, and said, "Hmph! What do you mean, only three of us survived?"
Nappa, the bald young man, looked lost and watched Vegeta and Betkas. Betkas looked at the now fully calmed Vegeta and began to speak: "Just now, Planet Vegeta was destroyed..."
"What did you say?!!!"
Vegeta's face instantly changed upon hearing this. He turned to look at Betkas in shock. Nappa also looked utterly disbelieving.
Betkas repeated, "Planet Vegeta was destroyed. Except for us, all Saiyans on the planet are dead!" Vegeta's eyes became slightly glazed, but immediately firmed up. He then said coldly, "Planet Vegeta was destroyed. What does that have to do with me?"
Vegeta's nonchalant attitude genuinely surprised Betkas. He thought, "This guy... can't be completely unfazed by Planet Vegeta's destruction... No way.
Then why did he later ask Goku for help getting revenge? He must have thought he was going to die then, which is why he said that. Heh heh. As expected, cold on the outside, warm on the inside..."
Nappa looked at the cold Vegeta, unsure how to respond, and Betkas also remained silent. The atmosphere immediately became frigid.
Several minutes later....
Betkas looked at the three of them still staring at each other, cleared his throat in a feigned maturity, and said, "There might still be Saiyans who survived if they were dispatched to attack other planets. Big Brother Vegeta, what do you say? Should we look for them later? After all, they are the most important surviving personnel of our Saiyan race. Just the three of us... It will be difficult to restore the glory of the warrior race."
Vegeta looked at Betkas dismissively and said, "Restore the Saiyan's honor? I am enough alone. We don't need superfluous trash!"
Betkas looked at the disdainful Vegeta and said emotionlessly, "Do you think you are a Super Saiyan? 'Don't need'? There are always people in this world who think too highly of themselves. That's why they are often the quickest to die!"
Even a fool would hear that Betkas was mocking him. Vegeta's face instantly became ferocious with anger, and he roared, "You bastard! Say that again if you dare!"
Betkas stared back at Vegeta without backing down, saying without emotion, "There are always people in this world who think too highly of themselves. That's why they are often the quickest to die!"
"You scoundrel!"
Vegeta was enraged again. A Ki blast immediately condensed in his left hand and shot toward Betkas without warning. Betka coldly watched the Ki blast approaching him. He didn't hesitate, curving his arms to block in front of his face.
He was instantly struck by the Ki blast, causing a small explosion and smoke that quickly filled the room, obscuring their vision. Vegeta watched with a dark expression, while Nappa looked horrified because he couldn't intervene.
"I told you... There are always people in this world who think too highly of themselves. That's why they are often the quickest to die!"
The very next second... Betka's cold voice came out of the smoke again, causing Vegeta's face to darken further.
Betkas now appeared in the sight of Vegeta and Nappa, looking slightly disheveled. He was only slightly scruffy and hadn't sustained a major injury.
This was thanks to Betkas's special physical training, which he had implemented on Planet Vegeta in addition to his regular training, aiming to strengthen his physique. This was why, in his skirmishes with Vegeta over the years, he was usually the one to win in the end.
"For the sake of your own life, before you have the strength, it's better to keep a low profile, Big Brother Vegeta! Many of Frieza's subordinates are very displeased with us, Saiyans. Right now, we don't have the power to confront them."
Betkas spoke with a hint of sorrow... Vegeta was slightly moved by the words, but still didn't reply, remaining arrogant and cold. Nappa continued to look at the two of them with a bewildered expression.
