Chapter 167
On the surface, the Heeter family is engaged in legitimate businesses such as planetary revival and accepting bounties. But secretly, they cooperate with the emperor of the universe, Frieza, providing intelligence and engaging in shady activities to amass huge profits.
After Frieza was killed, the ambitious Elec sought to take his place, rule the Seventh Universe, and become the overlord of the cosmos.
Without Frieza's constraints, the Heeter family developed smoothly. In recent years, they've conducted their business more unscrupulously, accumulating vast wealth. Now, they could be considered the most powerful force in the Northern Galaxy.
In the Heeter family castle, Elec touched the bone chain tied around his waist, looked up at his brothers and sister, and his expression turned grim.
He frowned and said in a deep voice, "The situation has changed. We need to scale back our operations and temporarily halt most of our business."
His siblings remained silent.
They had thought they could dominate the universe after Frieza's death. But just now, Cooler had sent his envoys to their family.
It was only then that they learned Frieza had a brother.
A brother who was said to be more powerful and terrifying than Frieza.
Damn it.
Elec continued, "Our business hasn't expanded into the South Galaxy yet. The intelligence there is relatively outdated, so there's no information about Cooler. But we can't afford to be careless."
Macki thought for a moment and asked, "Elec, how do we know that guy was telling the truth? What if he's deceiving us?"
Elec forced a smile and said, "Haha, it's better to be safe than sorry. Being cautious won't hurt. I'm not a fool like Frieza or the Saiyans who have power but lack the brains to use it. It's better to believe it than to ignore it."
Elec glanced at the stoic Gas and continued, "Gas, do you have any other thoughts?"
Although Gas didn't speak, the siblings had been together for decades and knew each other too well. Elec could easily read his siblings' emotions through their expressions.
Gas responded calmly, "Frieza was nothing special. I've surpassed him. I definitely won't lose to his brother." He was filled with strong self-confidence.
"Hehe, Gas, you are the most talented among us and the one with the greatest potential to surpass Frieza. While your current strength has surpassed Frieza's back then, many years have passed. Who can guarantee that this so-called brother of Frieza hasn't become stronger too? So, I believe it's better to proceed with caution."
"Okay, I understand." Gas nodded at Elec's words, though whether he agreed with Elec's assessment was known only to him.
Macki rubbed her chin and said, "Putting this aside, I seem to recall hearing about Namek somewhere…"
"Oh? Really?" Elec was intrigued.
"Yes, I've heard of it, but I can't quite place it at the moment." Macki frowned, deep in thought.
Gas added, "The Namekians are a race that once lived on Planet Cereal."
"Yes, yes, that's right. They lived alongside the Cerealians, those green-skinned people." Macki's vague memory became clearer after Gas's reminder.
The second eldest, Oil, chimed in, "Ah, aren't they extinct now?"
"No, I remember now," Elec said, shaking his head. "There's an old man named Monaito who's still alive."
"Monaito?"
"Yes, he should be living with Granolah now."
"So, Monaito is the only Namekian we know who's still alive…"
"I wonder what Cooler wants with Namek. Is there some secret on Namek? Maybe we should try to uncover that secret from Monaito."
"In that case, we need to find Granolah first."
"Granolah…" Macki murmured, a green-haired young man suddenly appearing in her mind.
He is the only survivor of the Cerealian race.
The other Cerealians and Namekians were massacred over 50 years ago.
The culprits? None other than the Heeter family.
Back then, the Heeter family coveted Planet Cereal. They conspired with Frieza to eliminate the native inhabitants and then sold the planet to displaced people at a high price.
It was the Heeter family that provided the intelligence.
And it was the Saiyans, serving under Frieza's army, who carried out the massacre.
The Saiyans transformed into giant black apes and slaughtered the Cerealians and Namekians, cleansing Planet Cereal.
Because of Bardock, Monaito and the young Granolah were the only survivors of Planet Cereal.
It's worth noting that Elec managed to swindle Frieza by giving him only one-tenth of the profit.
And the deception remained undiscovered.
Because of this, Elec always considered Frieza to be a brute with strong limbs but a simple mind, much like the Saiyans who knew only how to fight.
Thinking of Granolah, Macki snorted coldly, "Hmph, that annoying guy."
Although the last Cerealian survivor now worked under their command, he was too arrogant.
While he performed his tasks efficiently, he often looked at the four siblings with a cold gaze.
He was the type who performed well but had a terrible attitude.
As Granolah grew stronger, the pressure on the Heeter family also increased.
They feared that one day Granolah might discover the truth about the destruction of his people.
Elec said, "Hmph, Granolah is indeed becoming more difficult to manage, and he's growing stronger by the day. I wonder if we can use this sudden appearance of Cooler to deal with him."
"Huh? Elec, do you have a plan? How will we do it?" Macki asked excitedly, her eyes widening as she looked at her eldest brother.
The chubby Oil was also surprised.
Gas, however, crossed his arms and remained expressionless, offering no opinion.
Elec smiled coldly. "Hehe, let me think about it and come up with a plan."
Elec was very confident in his scheming.
He believed he could manipulate both Cooler and Granolah to his advantage.
"Hehe, we'll be waiting for your good news, big brother." Macki's face lit up with a smile, making her look adorable.
Elec laughed and said, "Haha, this matter requires careful consideration. There are other things to attend to first."
"Macki, you and Oil head to Planet Cereal, find Monaito, and try to get information about Namek from him. Remember, now is not the time to clash with Granolah, so be cautious. And don't kill the Namekian."
"Okay, got it." Macki nodded and left with Oil.
