While working under Frieza, he had always been searching for opportunities to break through his limits. Now that Talot and Salari had defeated him and possessed the method to rapidly grow stronger, he didn’t want to miss this chance!
Raditz decided to follow them, so Vegeta couldn’t help but wonder if this guy would soon surpass him in power.
“At the very least, tell me how you’re getting stronger! Or are you afraid that once we learn your method, we’ll surpass you?” Vegeta used his signature goading tone, hoping to extract the method to become strong.
His words made Talot and Salari laugh.
Talot’s laugh was subtle, as though he saw through Vegeta’s intent.
Salari, on the other hand, was openly disdainful.
Raditz stayed silent, merely watching Talot and Salari.
He wanted to speak but hesitated. If there really was a way to grow stronger, it would be best not to tell Vegeta or Nappa.
Nappa was ungrateful and ruthless—if he became stronger than them, he would make their lives miserable.
Vegeta was proud and arrogant—if he became the strongest, his first move would be to settle old scores, making them pay.
“You want to get stronger?” Talot looked at Vegeta with an amused expression, then glanced at Nappa, who was clearly eager. Without hesitation, he said, “If you want to become stronger, then go and train hard. How strong we Saiyans can become isn’t simply determined by our birth power level!”
Saying that, Talot did not stay any longer, and immediately led Salari and Raditz onto the spaceship.
Raditz kept looking back every few steps, only relaxing after he stepped aboard the ship.
He was still worried that Vegeta and Nappa might attack and destroy the spaceship.
Of course, Talot wasn’t afraid. The gap in their power was too vast. Vegeta and Nappa wouldn’t dare attack! Even if they did, Talot could stop them instantly.
As the spaceship took off and departed Planet Dadala, Vegeta clenched his fists tightly, glaring at the shrinking silhouette of the spaceship.
What happened today would remain etched in his memory forever.
“Damn it! Just you wait. One day, I’ll find my own way to grow stronger! One day, I, the Prince of Saiyans, will repay the humiliation of today a hundredfold!” Vegeta swore to himself.
The next time they met, he vowed to utterly crush Talot and Salari.
Vegeta’s thoughts then turned to something else, and his sharp gaze fell on Nappa, who was deep in thought.
“Nappa.” Vegeta’s voice snapped Nappa out of his anxious reverie.
“Prin-Prince Vegeta…” Feeling apprehensive, Nappa respectfully addressed Vegeta.
Vegeta nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with a cold, sharp glint. “You’d better forget everything that happened today. If you don’t… you know the consequences.”
It was a warning.
Swallowing hard, Nappa nodded repeatedly. “Don’t worry, Prince Vegeta. I didn’t see anything.”
“Not only that,” Vegeta continued, his tone icy and commanding, “forget everything that Talot said earlier—especially anything about Planet Vegeta’s destruction being related to Frieza.”
Nappa didn’t dare refute him. He nodded again, showing that he understands.
After all, with Vegeta’s strength, he can kill him instantly. Now, with Vegeta’s power level even higher, if he really wanted to deal with him, it would be too easy.
……
Meanwhile, far away from Planet Cereal.
Within Frieza’s main flagship, an intelligence officer, who had been tasked with monitoring the Saiyan squads under Frieza’s orders, reported the recent developments.
Zarbon, one of Frieza’s most trusted aides, received the report from the officer and immediately brought the information to Frieza.
Hearing the news, Frieza was stunned.
The scouters had detected the power levels of the two Saiyans, Talot and Salari, just before they exploded. Both had exceeded 22,000.
Such terrifying potential was even greater than that of Vegeta, the Saiyan prince himself.
“Are you sure this information is accurate, Zarbon? A power level of 22,000—it’s already on par with us,” Dodoria, standing on the side, said in disbelief.
His own power level was just 22,000, after all.
For someone of Vegeta’s age to possess such immense strength, in his view, simply impossible.
Among Saiyans, a genius like Vegeta was supposed to be one of a kind.
Dodoria had always found it remarkable that Vegeta had a power level of 12,000 before even reaching the age of eight.
But now, this news shattered everything he thought he knew.
