Seeing this scene, Mai wore a look of anxiety: "Shu!"
Neo stepped forward, pried open the already distorted cockpit door, and pulled Shu out from inside. He was still breathing and not dead, and a smile instantly appeared at the corner of Neo's mouth: "Another hostage secured."
With that, he carried Shu over to Mai and looked at her with a smile: "Rest assured, he's not dead yet. However, if you don't behave, I can't guarantee he will remain safe and sound."
"Y-You, what do you want me to do?" Mai looked at Neo nervously.
"Now, quickly contact your King Pilaf and bring the seven dragon balls to see us, or else I'll kill the hostage."
As he spoke, one of Neo's hands was already gripping Shu's neck, making him look like a complete supervillain.
But looking from the side, Bulma's eyes were practically sparkling with hearts, feeling that Neo right now was really cool.
Well, that was truly beauty in the eye of the beholder.
Mai was startled and hurriedly shouted: "Don't! Don't hurt Shu! I'll do it! You can make me do anything! The walkie-talkie to contact King Pilaf is in my pocket."
Hearing this, Neo stepped forward, took a walkie-talkie out of Mai's pocket, and asked: "How do I contact him?"
"You just need to press that green button to contact King Pilaf."
Neo lightly pressed the green button, and Pilaf's voice immediately came through the walkie-talkie: "Hey, hey, hey~ Mai, has the plan succeeded?"
Hearing this, Neo immediately held the walkie-talkie to Mai's lips.
Mai hesitated for a moment. Looking at Neo's hand pinching Shu's throat, she immediately said: "I'm sorry, King Pilaf, our plan has failed, and both Shu and I have been captured by the other party!"
"What? You two good-for-nothings! Failing is one thing, but why did you get captured as well?!" Hearing this, Pilaf was greatly shocked, and then shouted at the top of his lungs.
Neo moved the walkie-talkie away from Mai's lips and said coldly: "You already understand the situation. Now bring the seven dragon balls to see us, otherwise, you will lose these two subordinates of yours forever!"
Although they had the dragon radar to find Pilaf's location, Neo remembered that Pilaf's castle was full of traps. In the original story, Son Goku and the others were caught right at the beginning after falling into them. For safety's sake, Neo did not plan to storm that castle; having Pilaf come to find them was much safer.
"Damn it! Who on earth are you?!" Pilaf expressed that he was very angry right now.
"My name is Neo. Now, I don't want to hear another word of nonsense, hurry up and bring the seven dragon balls to see me!"
"Bastard! I would never trade precious seven dragon balls for two useless subordinates! You're dreaming!" Pilaf roared at the top of his lungs.
Hearing this, Mai's expression instantly turned gloomy. She had been utterly loyal to King Pilaf, yet he abandoned her and Shu without hesitation just for a dragon ball?
"Is that so! That's truly a pity. It seems I can only kill the hostage and come find you myself." Neo said this intentionally, because he knew very well the relationship among the three of them; they wouldn't split up because of the seven dragon balls, as the original story already had the answer.
"Wait! Bastard! You wait for me! How dare you threaten King Pilaf, I'll definitely make you pay! I'm not doing this for those two good-for-nothings, I just want to personally teach you a lesson, you bastard!"
As he spoke, the walkie-talkie call had already been hung up.
A smile appeared at the corner of Neo's mouth. Pilaf was indeed just as he thought, though still stubborn.
Hearing that King Pilaf was coming, Mai's previously lost expression turned joyful again, but then it grew worried once more. However, if King Pilaf didn't come, Shu would be in danger. Right now, Mai's heart was filled with guilt and torment.
After about ten-odd minutes, Pilaf drove a flying mecha to the scene. Clearly, he had the precise locations of Mai and Shu.
By this time, Shu had also woken up. Seeing that Pilaf had arrived at the scene, he immediately shouted loudly: "King Pilaf! Don't worry about us! They are very powerful! You should hurry up and leave!"
"Shut up!" Pilaf piloted the mecha and roared out: "You two useless good-for-nothings, you have hindered this king from becoming the king of the world, do you know that?"
"I'm sorry!"
Shu and Mai immediately lowered their heads in shame.
Inside the cockpit, Pilaf took out a 1-star ball and showed it to Neo: "The dragon ball is right here! If you want it, quickly release Mai and Shu!"
"You really did bring the dragon ball!" A smile appeared at the corner of Neo's mouth: "I just love honest people like you!"
Seeing this, Son Goku immediately said with an excited expression: "Big Brother Neo! Leave this enemy to me!"
"No, I'll do it!" Neo directly refused. He knew very well Son Goku's tendency to mess around. Right now, he wanted to finish the fight quickly, gather the seven dragon balls to make a wish, and not let any more accidents happen.
Neo picked up the power pole. Seeing his action, Mai immediately shouted loudly: "King Pilaf! Run! This guy is dange-... Mmm-mm~~!!"
"Shut up!" Hearing this, before she could finish speaking, Bulma had already covered her mouth with her hand.
Neo then moved his figure and leaped up: "power pole, grow longer!"
With a "shua~" sound, the power pole instantly lengthened by dozens of meters, extending right to the distance where Pilaf could be hit. Without any hesitation, Neo, while in mid-air, raised the power pole high and brought it crashing down with a mighty chop on the mecha controlled by Pilaf!
Accompanied by a loud "bang" sound, the mecha was instantly smashed to pieces and exploded with a roar!
Amidst a miserable scream of "ah~", Pilaf was blown flying out, then slammed heavily onto the ground. After spitting out several mouthfuls of fresh blood, his head tilted to the side and he passed out cold.
"King Pilaf!"
Mai and Shu immediately cried out anxiously.
Neo didn't care whether Pilaf was dead or not. In the original story, this guy in the early stage was like a dog skin plaster, always clinging to Son Goku and causing trouble; he was truly annoying.
"Bulma, give me the dragon radar."
Hearing this, Bulma immediately took the dragon radar and trotted over to hand it to Neo.
Following what was shown on the dragon radar, the two found that 1-star ball in the ruins of the mecha.
Looking at the final 1-star ball in Neo's hand, Bulma shouted excitedly: "Wow~ It's a 1-star ball! We've found them all! We've finally found them all! Hurry, hurry, hurry! Big Brother Neo! Let's summon Shenron and make a wish quickly!"
As she spoke, she hurriedly ran over to the magnetic levitation car and took out the other six seven dragon balls.
Neo was also very excited at this moment, but upon seeing Shu and Mai, he very decisively delivered a karate chop to each of them, knocking them unconscious.
He certainly didn't want an accident like a pair of panties to appear when making a wish, just like in the original story.
