Take Selari Along!

Raditz readily agreed to Bardock's final request.

It had to be said that Raditz, who had never been beaten badly, suffered setbacks, or faced cruel trials, was straightforward by nature and brimming with confidence in everything. He had no idea what awaited him in the future.

At this moment, he believed he could do anything and was convinced he would become the pillar of the family, so he took that responsibility upon himself.

Bardock was very pleased with his performance, but he did not force the issue.

As long as Raditz was the way he wanted to see him right now, that was enough. As for the future, it could only be left to the future.

Having gone through countless ups and downs in his life, Bardock knew full well that people could change.

Frankly speaking, if Bardock had known how the future would unfold, he would surely have been deeply moved, because everything turned out just as he had imagined.

No! It was even crueler than he had imagined.

Before they knew it, afternoon had arrived.

They had bought quite a few supplies in the Royal City, which delayed them for quite some time.

During that time, Bardock also met with members of his team.

Although they still did not know when their next mission would be or which planet they would be sent to, they had followed Bardock's lead for so long that it had become a habit.

So, despite only returning yesterday, they were already preparing the necessities for their next expedition today.

Bardock and Raditz returned home.

By then, Talot and Selari had also come home.

After they explained their Training progress to Bardock, he was astonished by the talent Talot and Selari had displayed.

At the same time, Raditz, who had yet to begin formal Training, felt somewhat discouraged and immediately ran off to train by himself.

"You've done well, but the basics I taught you still need time to become solid! Don't get too arrogant just because you think you've learned them," Bardock warned, hoping to keep Talot and Selari from becoming conceited.

Sooner or later, they would have to go to the battlefield. Excessive arrogance would make them lose their way, thinking they were amazing when in reality they were nothing.

"Don't worry, Uncle Bardock."

"Got it. I'll work even harder, Uncle Bardock."

Talot and Selari nodded together in response.

Having received the answer he wanted, Bardock began explaining the arrangements for what came next.

For the next seven days, from morning until night, he would use all his time to teach them how to become stronger. He would even use actual combat to teach them how to truly fight.

It was not just Selari who was looking forward to it; Talot was as well.

After all, in terms of strength, even if Bardock was not currently the strongest of the Saiyans, he was at least at the very top.

What would happen if they sparred against someone with over Ten Thousand Battle Power? The result was easy to imagine. But without question, actual combat would bring them even greater improvement.

With their Training arrangements settled, Talot did not mind Selari being present and directly asked Bardock what had happened at the Royal Palace.

Selari had already been brought into their little group. Even if they would not be living together over the next few days, they would still be spending most of their time together, so there was no need to hide anything from her.

Besides, it would not matter if Selari learned a few things.

The matters discussed between him and Bardock were not particularly confidential anyway.

If it were truly confidential, Bardock certainly would not tell Talot. Just like what Bardock had encountered on Cyril Star this time, he had concealed the greatest development: Frieza's plot to strike against the Saiyans.

"So Raditz and Prince Vegeta's expedition to Planet Rump has been confirmed, and it's seven days from now? Uncle Bardock will also head out to Planet Kanassa in ten days?" Talot could not help asking.

Things were progressing too quickly. If he had not already considered the worst possibility over the past two days, he would have become anxious.

"So, are you regretting it now, little Talot?" Bardock asked with a chuckle.

Talot shook his head sharply and gave an awkward laugh. "Since I've made my decision, I won't regret it. It's just that there are too many things to consider. If I were to conquer a medium-level planet alone, it might look easy, but it wouldn't be simple."

"What scheme are you cooking up again? Tell me," Bardock said. How could he fail to hear the implication in Talot's words?

Do not be fooled by how Saiyan warriors all seemed brawny and simple-minded.

That was not actually the case. Not all Saiyans were like that. On the contrary, many Saiyans were highly intelligent.

It was simply that when strength could solve a problem, they did not need to think too much about it.

Hearing that, Talot laughed sincerely. "As expected of Uncle Bardock. I haven't said anything, yet you already know I have something else on my mind."

Bardock shook his head helplessly. Even though they had not seen each other for over half a year again, how could he not know Talot's personality?

At the side, Selari's heart was already trembling. There were only two words in her little head: expedition!

Everyone was going on an expedition, and although she was a Low-Class Warrior who had turned five and could join the main force on missions outside, she had no say in choosing her own future.

The proud, strong-willed little girl lowered her head without realizing it, her tiny fists clenched tight.

Talot was right beside Selari, so he noticed her abnormality at once.

He sighed inwardly, then said to Bardock, "Uncle Bardock, I know you've already made arrangements for me, but I want to bring two people with me when I go on the expedition. Do you think that's possible?"

It was a tentative question, and also an opportunity to ask Bardock about his true arrangements for him.

Upon hearing this, Selari raised her head and looked at Talot, asking with her eyes whether he intended to bring her along.

"You want to bring Selari, right? As an Elite Warrior, you do indeed have three slots. As long as they are Low-Class Warriors and agree to accept your call-up, they can join your team! But there is something you must remember: based on Merit Points, conquering a medium-level planet only earns between 10,000 and 100,000 points. Once you choose to bring subordinates along, you must pay at least ten percent of the Merit Points to each of them! And if a Low-Class Warrior in your team dies, you will have twice the Merit Points deducted."

Bardock's answer made Talot even more certain of his plan.

"Then that's fine. I don't really care about Merit Points, and if I don't bring Selari with me, she won't be willing to do logistical work. If she joins another team, she could very well die," Talot said with a smile.

Though his words sounded relaxed, Bardock saw just how remarkable Talot truly was.

To Saiyans, Merit Points were a symbol of honor and an essential currency for survival!

Clearly, in Talot's heart, people mattered more than Merit Points! "You brat! Since that's how you feel, I won't say anything more. Over the next few days, I'll take you to file the application. I'll also lend you some Merit Points to buy a medium-sized Spaceship. Once you return after completing the mission, remember to pay me back double."

"Double? Uncle Bardock, that's way too ruthless," Talot said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
