Siblings

On this day, Roland was training in the Gravity Chamber as usual when his Scouter suddenly began to beep with an intense, rapid signal.

Beep, beep, beep!

A string of numbers flickered incessantly across the Scouter's screen. Roland picked it up, and upon seeing the data, he was instantly struck with shock.

11,000!!

This eye-catching number was staggering; the energy source was only a little over a hundred kilometers away. It was worth noting that the Scouter in Roland's hand had been snatched from a Mapa person back on Planet Mapa. While its functions weren't as advanced as those of the Frieza Legion's models, it could still automatically sound an alarm when a powerful enemy approached.

Who could it possibly be?

A flicker of doubt crossed Roland's mind.

As a high-level planet, Planet Vegeta had very few warriors with a Ki level exceeding 10,000—only five in total, if one counted generously. Each of them was a top-tier warrior who upheld the authority of the Saiyans. Generally speaking, such warriors were always near the Royal Capital and would never appear in such a remote area.

The person should be a Saiyan; if it were someone from the Frieza Legion, he would have to prepare to run.

Just as Roland was pondering the stranger's identity, that energy source approached rapidly. The terrifying energy caused the Scouter to beep incessantly, something that had never happened before.

Cold sweat broke out on Roland's palms. He carefully pressed his body behind a rock ledge to hide, lifting his head to watch the sky.

He had already prepared his "Transfer Technique," ready to activate it the moment he confirmed the intruder was not a Saiyan.

Whoosh! A straight line of light streaked across the sky like lightning, followed by the violent sonic boom of breaking the sound barrier. Soon, a figure appeared in his field of vision. Roland had excellent eyesight; by focusing his Ki into his eyeballs, he could indeed sharpen his vision.

It was a Saiyan wearing Frieza Legion battle armor, sporting a crab-like hairstyle with two tufts pointing upward. His face was mature, and there was a cross-shaped scar on his left cheek.

Bardock?!

Seeing the stranger's appearance clearly, Roland muttered to himself.

How could he be here? Judging by his direction, he was heading toward the Royal Capital.

Suddenly, Roland's nerves tightened, and a sense of urgency welled up within him. According to his knowledge, in the original story, Bardock had sent the young Goku away on the very night he returned to Planet Vegeta. Not many days later, Frieza had dropped a "Planet Destroyer Ball" from space, obliterating the entire planet.

Since Bardock had appeared on Planet Vegeta now, it meant that Frieza would soon destroy the planet.

There was not much time left for him.

Just as Roland was observing Bardock, the latter's instincts as a warrior led him to discover Roland as well.

A child? Bardock looked suspiciously at Roland, who was hiding behind the rock below. Although he was surprised that a Saiyan toddler would be here, he was in a rush to see King Vegeta and had no heart to care about such things.

Glancing indifferently at Roland, Bardock quickly streaked past overhead. In an instant, his figure turned into a black dot and vanished into the vast horizon.

After Bardock's figure disappeared, Roland carefully emerged from behind the rock, feeling extremely anxious. Bardock has already returned, which means Planet Vegeta is not far from destruction. But why hasn't Sephiria's team returned yet?

He could not delay any longer; he had to leave Planet Vegeta as soon as possible!

Thinking of this, Roland hurriedly replenished his food supplies, then stored the Gravity Chamber into a Hoi-Poi Capsule. He launched himself into the air and flew toward the gathering point. He arrived at the mission dispatch department once more to check on Sephiria's ship, only to receive news that her squad would enter Planet Vegeta in half an hour.

Roland was speechless; the timing was perfectly synced. If not for him, Sephiria would have arrived right on time to meet her death!

Consider yourself lucky to have a younger brother like me!

Muttering to himself, Roland flew directly toward the spaceship docking area. The ships of ordinary Saiyans were docked in an open space in the center of the gathering area, usually registered by Saiyan or Yugarite maintenance crews. However, for Saiyans of higher status, the treatment was different.

Upper-class warriors belonged to prestigious families and were the backbone of the Saiyans. Every upper-class warrior enjoyed meticulous care, and their ships would land at the specialized docking bays in the Royal Capital.

Soon, Roland arrived at the Royal Capital terminal, watching ships return from space one after another and land under the guidance of professional personnel. Roland floated in mid-air, his eyes scanning the figures in the crowd, but Sephiria was nowhere to be seen for a long time.

After about ten minutes, a beautiful figure emerged, surrounded by others like stars around the moon. It was Sephiria, whom he hadn't seen in a year. She was followed by several Saiyans, presumably her squad members.

Sephiria was now nineteen years old, with bright eyes and white teeth, skin like congealed fat, and smooth hair draped over her shoulders. Her graceful figure was even more charming than it had been a year ago. Saiyans reached full maturity at this stage and would maintain this youthful state for a long time until they aged rapidly in their later years.

Sephiria walked in front with a cold expression. Being sensitive, she felt that Planet Vegeta was somewhat different from before.

"Planet Vegeta has become much livelier than before."

"That's because everyone has returned."

"Sephiria, there's a restaurant ahead. The captain is treating you all to a meal this time," the lead captain invited generously.

This captain was also an upper-class warrior named Hertz, who usually took good care of Sephiria.

Sephiria shook her head: "No, I plan to go back first."

"Alright, relax yourself. Perhaps there will be even more arduous missions ahead; you must always maintain your best state." Hertz shook his head with regret. Seeing that Sephiria didn't want to join them, several young Saiyans in the squad wanted to persuade her, but were stopped by Hertz's gaze, leaving them with expressions of disappointment.

"Sister!" A youthful voice rang out, and Roland flew toward Sephiria.

Seeing Roland's figure from afar—still about a meter tall, just as he was a year ago, and wearing clothes made of finer material—Sephiria's gem-like black eyes flashed with a glimmer of light. She met Roland's gaze, but instead of catching the lunging Roland with the joy he had imagined, she raised her leg and delivered a violent kick toward him.

The sharp attack caught him off guard. Stunned by this sudden turn of events, Roland hurriedly crossed his arms in front of him to block.

Bang!

The force of the leg transmitted through his arms, and Roland grimaced as his body was sent flying backward.

Halfway through his flight, his neck tightened as his collar was grabbed by a slender hand.

"Sister, do we really have to be like this the moment we meet?" Roland laughed sheepishly, his arms still numb.

"Why didn't you contact me this past year?" Sephiria looked at him expressionlessly, her icy gaze causing the surrounding temperature to drop by several degrees.
