Super Saiyan, is it that brat?

Chapter 24: Super Saiyan—Was It That Brat?

On Planet Vegeta.

Bardock watched the Spaceship carrying Talot, Selari, and Gine disappear into the distance. Only after even the Battle Power Detector had lost its signal did he finally let out a sigh, as though the weight on his shoulders had vanished in an instant.

"With Aoyun Planet's level of strength, your lives won't be in danger.

"Selari and Gine are in your hands, Talot. With your intelligence, taking care of them won't be a problem.

"I hope this storm passes soon. Once I'm sure nothing major has happened here, I'll come find you."

Only after saying those words did Bardock turn and prepare to leave.

Now that Talot had taken Gine and Selari away from Planet Vegeta, Bardock no longer had anything holding him back.

From here on, he could finally give it his all without restraint.

Planet Kanassa... This mission was definitely not as simple as it appeared. Even King Vegeta had specifically told me to investigate Frieza's purpose. Could Planet Kanassa really be hiding some unspeakable secret? With one last day left, I need to prepare a few more things. Setting those thoughts aside, Bardock headed home.

By now, the sky had grown brighter and the sun had risen. Most people had finally gotten up and begun their daily activities, greeting Bardock one after another when they saw him.

Among the Saiyans in this area, who didn't know Bardock? And who didn't respect him? He was the representative of the Low-Class Warriors—and the strongest Low-Class Warrior!

Before long, Bardock returned home.

He spent some time organizing his equipment, then left without lingering.

In a sense, this place was his home. Yet in another sense, it was not.

To him, a home was where his family was. A house without family was merely a place to stay.

Just as he was about to head to the royal capital to find his team members, an inexplicable sensation made Bardock frown. He turned and scanned his surroundings, finally fixing his gaze on a shadowy corner for a long while.

His instincts told him that someone seemed to be watching him.

Strangely, if his senses were right, the Battle Power Detector should not have failed to react.

"Was that just my imagination? Or have I exhausted myself too much these past few days and become overly sensitive?" Bardock muttered. Then he erupted with energy, shot into the sky, and flew toward the royal capital.

The moment Bardock left, a person wearing special Battle Armor emerged from the dark corner he had been watching.

"That was close. I almost got discovered. Bardock really is worthy of being a warrior with a battle power over ten thousand—his combat instincts are far too sharp.

"Good thing I brought a Signal Jammer. Otherwise, if I'd been discovered just now, it would've been troublesome.

"No! This isn't the time for that. I need to report the situation with Bardock's family to the King!"

The next second, the Saiyan took a detour and flew toward the Royal Palace in the royal capital at high speed.

At this time.

Inside the Royal Palace of the royal capital.

King Vegeta sat upon his throne. Below him, an Elite Warrior was reporting the intelligence they had recently received.

The general meaning was that Frieza, wary of the legendary Super Saiyan of the Saiyan race, was preparing to make a move against them.

There was even reliable intelligence that Frieza had already ordered his subordinates to secretly assemble, intending to descend upon Planet Vegeta before long.

"Hmph! Exactly as I suspected. Frieza calls himself the Universe Emperor and claims to control everything, yet he fears the legendary power of our Saiyan race. How laughable. He thinks he has me cornered, but I have long been preparing to deal with him as well!" King Vegeta said contemptuously, with a trace of pride in his final words.

The Universe Emperor feared the Super Saiyan!

That proved that the Saiyans were the ones who should rule the universe.

"The Elite Warriors stationed outside are returning one after another. It should not be long before nearly eighty percent of the warriors have returned on schedule."

Hearing this, joy surged through King Vegeta. "Good! Since Frieza intends to suppress us this time, I will make sure he stays here for good! As long as we gather the power of all Elite Warriors and Elite Warriors, Frieza is nothing! Even if his battle power is one hundred thousand, even if King Cold comes too, we can take them both down!"

As his words fell, it was clear just how arrogant King Vegeta was.

He would never know just how naive that thought was.

Just then, the doors of the Royal Palace were pushed open once more. The atmosphere in the hall changed at once, and both King Vegeta and the Elite Warrior grew grim.

King Vegeta gave him a look, and the warrior vanished directly from the hall.

Looking at the newcomer, King Vegeta straightened himself and said with imposing authority, "Arita, you came to see me in such a hurry. You must have important news, yes?"

The newcomer was the Elite Warrior King Vegeta had assigned to monitor Bardock and his family.

"My King, the latest intelligence: just as you expected, Bardock has sent his wife and children off Planet Vegeta. He has now arrived in the Royal City and should be going to find his subordinates."

King Vegeta nodded slightly at this.

He did not actually care that Bardock had sent away his wife and children.

After all, they were merely Low-Class Warriors with pitifully low battle power.

Especially Bardock's younger son, whose battle power was only 2.

"It seems Bardock knows his place. At least he has no intention of fleeing with his family. Since he has come to the Royal City to find his subordinates, he must be preparing to depart and invade Planet Kanassa." After this simple analysis, King Vegeta took a deep breath, leaned back on his throne, and added, "There is no need to monitor him anymore. You may withdraw as well."

"As you command, my King." Upon hearing King Vegeta's order, the Elite Warrior seemed as though he had been granted a pardon and quickly left the hall.

This task had been a trap from the start. He had no idea what King Vegeta was trying to do. After Arita left, King Vegeta looked toward the other side once more.

Another figure suddenly appeared in the darkness.

King Vegeta asked him whether the planet Bardock's wife and child had gone to had been registered, then inquired about the latest news regarding another matter. After dismissing the man, he sank into thought alone.

In the empty hall, King Vegeta stood alone, looking utterly solitary.

Could that brat be the Legendary Super Saiyan? King Vegeta's feelings were exceedingly complicated.

Recently, there had been more and more news about the legend, forcing him to reflect deeply.

Thinking back, his son Vegeta had possessed a Battle Power of 2,000 at birth, breaking and setting the highest record for a Saiyan's Battle Power at birth.

He had believed that his son would become the legend—or at the very least, that Vegeta's talent would be the greatest among the Saiyans.

The facts proved that Vegeta had not disappointed him! Yet just as he felt that his son might fulfill the legend, an even more terrifying newborn was born.

Not only had he surpassed Vegeta, but his Battle Power at birth had reached 10,000!
