NOVEL ONLINE FREE Chapter 6: Recruit?
It was a seemingly unexpected ambush.
The energy collision caused an explosion, resulting in dust-carrying billowing waves of heat and light.
For ordinary beings, it would be impossible to emerge unscathed. However, it was hardly worth mentioning for individuals whose strength had reached a certain level.
At this moment, Lin Chuan stood at the center of the explosion, unable to suppress a cough.
Quoting Raditz's famous words: "Useless attacks can only stir up some dust."
The smoke vanished with the wind as the explosion's aftermath completely dissipated.
Under the gaze of Piccolo and Goku, their last hopes were dashed.
Not only did they fail, but they didn't even scratch the opponent.
Lin Chuan, who not only took the Special Beam Cannot head-on with one hand but also crushed it in the end, illustrated the vast difference in strength.
Even Raditz, who had already been injured, could ensure his safety amid the explosion.
"I... I lost... Damn it..." Goku gasped for breath, finally collapsing to the ground.
He had done his best.
In his final desperate move, he expended all his energy, now unable to stand.
He wanted to keep fighting, unwilling to admit defeat, but the reality was cruel.
On the other side, the situation was similar for Piccolo.
Having already reached his limit, he had just unleashed all he had.
Now, with the situation, he felt like he had fallen into an abyss.
His efforts were all in vain.
"Never did I, the Great Demon King Piccolo, expect to one day become so insignificant... It's laughable..."
"...Earth... is finished!!!"
Having the courage to face death and break through such a mental barrier was actually beneficial for both Piccolo and Goku.
...
Without waiting for Lin Chuan to say or do anything,
Excited that he had blocked the finishing move, Raditz began to swagger.
The absolute advantage had gone to his head.
"Hehehehe~~! Kakarot, my foolish little brother, I've been saying your days are numbered all along."
"Originally, you didn't have to die because as long as you joined us, you would be a member of the Frieza Force!"
"Now that you've passed up this great opportunity, you've brought absolute disaster upon Earth."
As Raditz spoke, he approached Goku.
His arrogant demeanor made it feel like the grim reaper was knocking at the door.
Goku couldn't retort; Piccolo was powerless, and Gohan cried incessantly.
[This Raditz is a typical bully who fears the strong and preys on the weak. It's this kind of attitude that led to his downfall.]
Recalling scenes from the original story, this guy made quite a few pretentious remarks, but this character trait also ultimately cost him his life.
Seeing Raditz about to attack Goku, Lin Chuan naturally wouldn't ignore it.
If Raditz moved to kill Goku, he would intervene in an instant.
As for the sneak attacks by Piccolo and Goku, he didn't pay them any mind at all.
Launching an instant attack in a situation where the enemy is unknown is very wise.
Seize the opportunity and strike decisively!
Unfortunately, the power gap was too large, but Lin Chuan was confident enough and remained unfazed.
In simple terms, when adults are speaking, why would they care if two kids nearby pat them?
Only someone like Raditz would hold a grudge.
Moreover, Lin Chuan had already warned Piccolo to attack him, so he wanted to see how powerful the Special Beam Cannon was.
"Is that all you've got? Can't even muster the strength to stand up? Pathetic!"
"Since you're such an unreasonable father, then just die! I'll take your son away and train him properly for you."
Approaching Goku, Raditz's domineering posture seemed as if he feared others wouldn't realize he had defeated his own brother.
Weaklings can only find a sense of existence at times like this.
In the face of a strong opponent, characters like Raditz are dispensable.
"Sto...stop... Gohan... run away!!!" Threatened again by his son's safety, Goku summoned a surge of strength from somewhere.
It was like a last burst of energy.
This scene once again caught Raditz off guard.
Even after taking several blows, he retreated tens of meters away from Goku's sudden outburst.
From the beginning, Raditz had kept a cautious eye, afraid of falling into a trap again.
"What a useless piece of trash! Even after all this, you're still intimidated! Your 1500-point power level is worth less than a dog, Raditz!" With these words, Lin Chuan degraded Raditz to the lowest point.
Their power level is probably now less than 100. Even if he had a brief surge, what level could he reach?
Even though Raditz was injured, he could still display a power level of over 1000 points.
Being frightened by someone whose power level has already hit rock bottom is just pathetic.
Should I say it or not? Raditz is truly hopeless.
Despite having absolute dominance initially and holding all the cards, he ended up defeated by himself, killed by Goku and Piccolo working together.
Upon hearing Lin Chuan's words, Raditz didn't understand their true meaning. He only felt looked down upon and couldn't help but feel extremely displeased.
Although Lin Chuan's power level is as high as 5000 points, they all work for Frieza.
Even if his rank might be one level lower than theirs, as a team, the Saiyan trio is one of the top-performing teams under Frieza's command.
"Although I don't know who you are or which team you belong to," Raditz said, "as fellow legion warriors, there's no need for sarcasm, is there? We should hold our heads high and respect each other. Perhaps, in the future, you might find yourself in a similar situation..."
As he spoke, Raditz suddenly paused as if something had caught his attention and made him stop talking.
After a moment, he looked slightly surprised and continued, "Meeting on Earth this time is fate. As warriors serving under Frieza, I assume you're here to assess whether Earth is worth invading?"
"Well, you're alone, and your power level is a whopping 5000 points! Why not consider cooperating with us?"
"Our Saiyan squad recently discovered a precious planet compared to Earth. I came to Earth seeking the help of this useless brother of mine to gain an extra hand so we can expedite the invasion," Raditz explained.
"If you join us, we can quickly get things done! By then, the rewards and achievements can be evenly distributed!"
As Raditz finished his lengthy discourse, Lin Chuan was momentarily surprised by Raditz's sudden change in demeanor.
He had been relentlessly insulting Raditz without fear of retaliation, but now he couldn't help but wonder where this sudden change in attitude came from.
Undoubtedly, Raditz was trying to recruit him.
The contrast before and after was stark. Even the look in Raditz's eyes had changed.
Perplexed, Lin Chuan soon noticed a faint red light emitting from Raditz's battle power detector. It dawned on him that someone behind Raditz was transmitting messages.
It couldn't be Nappa, as described in the original story. Although not stupid, Nappa's intelligence was far from capable of coaching Raditz to speak in such a manner.
So, if it's not Nappa, then it must be Vegeta.
Surprisingly, even though they are far away in the interstellar realm, they constantly watch the situation.
