"How was it? Did the Taje disgust you with their attitude?" Chaya felt someone pat his shoulder. When he turned around, he saw that Uncle Adri had come over.
Adri smiled. "You don't need to care about what those Taje say. Those guys have always had foul mouths. If they hadn't been sent from Frieza Headquarters, then with their rude attitude toward Saiyans, they would have died countless times over on Planet Vegeta."
"Mm, it's best to avoid them whenever possible. They're bad luck!" Adri's words were filled with disgust for the Taje.
However, Frieza was their patron, and they controlled the communication channels between Planet Vegeta and Planet Frieza. Many orders had to be relayed through them, so for the time being, the Saiyans could only tolerate the Taje's arrogant behavior.
But once this debt piled up to a certain point, it would have to be settled sooner or later. The Taje had no idea they were digging their own graves, and they continued treating the Saiyans with a high-handed attitude.
So you knew what the Taje were like all along. After hearing Uncle Adri's words, Chaya could not help rolling his eyes.
No wonder he went swimming instead of coming with us to submit the mission. He simply didn't want to see them!
"By the way, tomorrow I'll be taking Myers out on a mission. I probably won't be back for quite some time. If you have any questions about missions later on, you can ask Rebecca. She completed many difficult missions with the Adri Squad before, so she can give you some guidance."
Adri gave them careful instructions.
"Mm, got it."
"Don't worry. If there's anything we don't understand, we'll ask Mom."
Faced with Adri's reminders, Chaya and Selyne naturally agreed readily. In fact, ever since they were little, Adri had often led teams out on training missions, usually leaving for several months at a time. They were already used to it.
"Uncle Adri, which planet are you going to this time? About how long will it take to return?" Chaya asked.
Adri made a rough estimate and said, "This mission is relatively close to Planet Vegeta, on the nearby Red Rock Planet. The round trip should take about a month."
"One month? That's pretty quick." Chaya pondered it silently.
Red Rock Planet was very close to Planet Vegeta. A spacecraft only needed a few days to reach it. It was the nearest inhabited planet to Planet Vegeta, and naturally such a planet was under Saiyan control. Thus, Red Rock Planet was also one of the few training bases the Saiyans used to train young Saiyans.
Of course, these training bases were all intended for Elite Warriors. Ordinary Low-Class Warriors and Mid-Class Warriors did not receive such treatment.
"Uncle Adri, I have something to give you!"
After hesitating for a while, Chaya pulled a small brown pouch from his clothes. Then, under Adri's puzzled gaze, he placed several dozen shriveled Senzu Beans into it. Selyne watched quietly from the side. When she saw Chaya take out the Senzu Beans and put them inside, she immediately understood his intention, and a captivating smile bloomed across her delicate face.
"What is this?" Adri took the pouch and looked inside, asking in confusion.
At that moment, Selyne had already jumped out and urged Adri to accept the Senzu Beans. She exclaimed, "Dad, you have to keep this safe! It can save your life at a critical moment."
Adri became even more confused. He looked at these dry, flat little things. Could they really be some kind of treasure, for his daughter to be so anxious for him to accept them?
Selyne explained, "This is called a Senzu Bean. No matter how badly you're injured, as long as you still have a breath left, eating one will immediately restore you to peak condition. It's really good stuff!"
Then she explained the Senzu Beans' specific effects.
"There's actually something so miraculous in this world!" Adri looked astonished after hearing her explanation. Looking at the beans in his hand, he did not doubt the truth of Selyne's words. Rather, he realized the significance hidden behind these inconspicuous little beans.
As a seasoned Saiyan warrior, he had been through countless life-and-death battles. He knew all too well the value of medicine that could rapidly heal injuries on the battlefield. It was no different from having an extra life, and at a critical moment, it could even decide the entire battle.
Without standing on ceremony, he accepted the small pouch of Senzu Beans and carefully put it away.
Then Adri said seriously, "It's enough for us to know about the Senzu Beans. Don't let this leak out, or it will bring endless trouble."
Wealth stirred people's hearts, let alone something that could save lives at a critical moment. The fewer people who knew this secret, the better, because it truly could not be allowed to spread.
Even without Adri saying so, Chaya understood this. He had only taken out the Senzu Beans for the sake of those around him and had no intention of distributing them on a large scale. Although he seemed to have many Senzu Beans, they would not last long if used freely. Every one he used meant one fewer, so he had to budget them carefully.
He would naturally not be stingy with his own family, but others would not have that privilege!
"Mm, only the three of us know about the Senzu Beans, and I don't intend to tell anyone else. It's just that I think the Saiyans' current situation is extremely dangerous. King Vegeta's actions will only make Frieza lose patience with us faster. I'm afraid that's when the Saiyans will truly be in danger..."
This was not the first time Chaya had mentioned that Frieza might harbor ill intentions toward the Saiyans. After hearing him, Adri could not help turning solemn as well. It was better to believe it than not.
After pondering for a moment, he said, "If Frieza truly intends to act against the Saiyans, then the Saiyans' strength definitely won't be enough to deal with him. It seems we need to prepare an escape route."
"Oh, and those Scouters actually have listening devices installed in them. It's obvious they mean the Saiyans no good!" Selyne, who had been listening for a long time, suddenly added from the side.
As for the Scouters, anyone who knew even a little advanced technology could discover it simply by inspecting them carefully.
"What did you say? They installed listening devices in the Scouters?" The moment Adri heard that Frieza had installed bugs in the Scouters used by Saiyans, he immediately realized the severity of the matter.
What was Frieza trying to do? Did he truly not trust the Saiyans at all?
Adri's expression immediately darkened. The surging energy around him burst forth unconsciously, like the heart of a hurricane, whipping up waves of air around him. The previously calm sea instantly became turbulent with crashing waves.
Wave after wave of air struck their faces, and black hair streamed in the wind.
Chaya watched in surprise. Judging by the aura erupting from Adri, his battle power had reached at least 8,000. That was already an exceptionally formidable level.
After a long while, Adri let out a deep sigh and withdrew his aura. Everything returned to calm, as though what had just happened had been nothing more than an illusory dream.
