Apprentice Angel Merus

"Speak properly," Luo Tian said.

Slap!

Broly casually set his spoon on the plate and abruptly rose from his seat.

Jaco: "..."

Jaco was nearly scared to tears on the spot.

"I... I really am an elite warrior... I wasn't lying..." Jaco answered shakily, watching Broly warily with terror in his eyes.

"Then let me ask another question." Luo Tian smiled. "Who is the strongest in your Galactic Patrol? Think carefully before answering."

"It... it's Merus!" Jaco hurriedly replied, feeling that if he answered too slowly, he might get beaten up again.

"Merus?" Luo Tian looked thoughtful as he stroked his chin and repeated the name.

Jaco did not dare say another word, his expression constantly shifting.

"How about this? Once your Spaceship is repaired, take Broly and me to Galactic Patrol Headquarters. The two of us plan to pay Merus a visit." Luo Tian smiled.

Jaco: "..."

"Um..." Jaco had no idea how to answer.

"Are we not welcome?" Luo Tian looked at Jaco with a smiling gaze.

"Welcome, welcome! Of course you're welcome! Galactic Patrol Headquarters welcomes your honored visit!" Jaco immediately caved.

"Alright, then it's settled." Luo Tian nodded in satisfaction.

Yet Jaco was filled with unease.

I've dug a pit for Merus to jump into.

Merus is going to hate me to death.

This is bad. Broly won't beat Merus into pulp, will he?

That guy named Broly is just too strong.

No, no, I need to quickly find a way to contact Merus and tell him about this first.

But my Spaceship's communicator is broken. I have no way to contact headquarters.

That's right!

Once the Spaceship is repaired, I can secretly contact Merus.

At that thought, Jaco finally set aside his worries for the time being.

"Luo Tian, take me too! I want to go!" Bulma raised her hand.

"You shouldn't go. There will be plenty of chances to travel later. You're still too young to visit other planets," Luo Tian said, shaking his head.

"What? You make it sound like you're that much older than me." Bulma was not happy at all.

Jaco felt a little smug.

That little girl is talking back to that Saiyan named Luo Tian.

Will that idiot throw the little girl around too?

However, what Jaco expected did not happen.

Broly did not react at all.

Jaco scratched his head.

So you only target me?

After the meal, Dr. Briefs, accompanied by Dr. Omori, stepped forward to inspect Jaco's Spaceship.

The core energy source in Jaco's Spaceship had malfunctioned.

Put simply, the battery was broken. It had run out of power.

As long as Dr. Briefs provided a new energy source, the Spaceship would start up again.

The other minor malfunctions would be even easier to fix.

"We have energy components at home, but it's quite far from here. A round trip would take four hours," Dr. Briefs said with a sigh. "Tomorrow, then. We'll deal with it tomorrow."

"Alright, Dr. Briefs. I'm not in a hurry." Dr. Omori laughed and quickly replied respectfully.

Jaco: "..."

You're not in a hurry, but I am.

"Let Broly go get it," Luo Tian suggested. "He flies pretty fast."

"How long would Broly need?" Dr. Briefs asked.

"In his current state, if he flies back at full speed, it should take no more than a few minutes," Luo Tian said after a moment's thought.

"He can fly that fast?" Dr. Briefs adjusted his glasses, his face filled with shock. Then he nodded. "Alright, then I'll have to trouble Broly to make a trip home."

Broly scratched his head, gave a simple-minded grin, and nodded in agreement.

"Broly, once you get home, find any Robot and have it get you an S35 Energy Cell," Dr. Briefs explained to Broly.

"Did you remember that?" Luo Tian asked Broly.

Broly nodded.

"Repeat it."

"S35! Energy! Cell!" Broly blurted out two words at a time.

"Go on." Luo Tian nodded in satisfaction.

People said Broly was a little foolish, but Luo Tian knew very well that the boy was not foolish at all.

On the contrary, Broly was quite smart.

He simply was not very good at expressing himself.

Broly turned into a bright streak of light and shot into the sky, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.

"I could have fixed the battery myself, but I'd rather give Broly some training." Looking in the direction Broly had vanished, Luo Tian could not help sighing.

Dr. Briefs: "..."

Dr. Omori: "..."

Both men immediately looked at Luo Tian.

"Can you stop bragging?" Jaco could not help saying.

Now that Broly was not around, Jaco immediately felt much less pressure and let himself go a little.

When Broly had been nearby earlier, Jaco had felt as though a great mountain were pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe.

Now that Broly had left, he could finally act up a little, right?

"Broly, why are you back so soon?" Bulma suddenly shouted.

"Ah... I was wrong, I was wrong! I didn't say anything just now. Just pretend I farted!" Jaco's face went pale, turning utterly horrified in an instant. He dropped to his knees on the spot and trembled in fear.

"Pfft..."

Bulma laughed heartlessly.

Jaco secretly raised his head. Where was Broly?

Jaco immediately glared at Bulma in embarrassment and anger.

"Hahaha..." Bulma pointed at Jaco and laughed even harder.

"This is why I don't like children!" Jaco clutched his head and shouted angrily.

"Big sister, this alien you know is such a coward!" Bulma turned to her sister.

"Don't say the same thing twice." Tights's face darkened.

Luo Tian said nothing. Instead, he stepped forward and released Angelic Power from his hand, letting it cover the Spaceship.

Immediately, the somewhat impure Angelic Power entered the energy section through the Spaceship and began repairing the damaged energy source.

"Huh? Luo Tian, what are you doing?" Bulma asked curiously.

"Nothing. Just taking a look, seeing whether I can fix the battery," Luo Tian said with a smile.

"You'd better not force yourself. I examined that energy cell before. It can be repaired, but the process is especially complicated. Replacing it with a new one would be much more convenient." Bulma shook her head, blinking her large, adorable eyes.

"Luo Tian, you understand this too?" Dr. Briefs was taken aback.
