Fortune Teller Baba

"Sun Wukong, you haven't shown your true strength yet, have you?"

Sun Wukong smiled and nodded.

"I haven't shown my true strength!"

Renso looked at Sun Wukong in surprise again.

At that moment, Sun Wukong's expression suddenly grew serious.

"Whoosh..."

Sun Wukong shot forward at a speed almost too fast to see and appeared in front of Grit. His right fist slammed into Grit's face, sending him flying.

Boom!!

Grit's body shot like a beam into the mountain behind him.

A huge chunk of rock soon broke away from the mountainside.

"M-Master!"

"Clang..."

A little while later, Grit slowly climbed out of the mountain and said,

"I've lost!"

The Saiyans watching nearby were all stunned by Grit's sudden surrender.

Grit, the ace member of the Lase Defense Force, had admitted defeat to a boy of just fifteen or sixteen.

"Master!"

Renso, too, could hardly believe it.

Grit had always been his idol.

Seeing him surrender to Sun Wukong, who was about his own age, was hard for Renso to accept.

"Good!"

The two of them stopped fighting.

"Whoosh..."

"Thud..."

Grit flew over to Sun Wukong and held out his right hand.

"You really are an incredible guy!"

Sun Wukong reached out and shook his hand.

"So are you!"

Grit smiled but said nothing.

Then he walked over to Renso and glanced up at Sun Wukong.

"Sun Wukong, would you like to join the Lase Defense Force on Planet Sadala?"

"The Lase Defense Force?"

"It's a unit responsible for maintaining peace throughout the universe, and it's also an elite force of us Saiyans!"

"Oh, but I'm not really interested in maintaining peace throughout the universe," Sun Wukong replied after thinking it over.

"I see! In that case, until we meet again!"

"Until we meet again!"

After saying that, Grit immediately left with Renso.

Sun Wukong didn't know that their battle would make Renso regard him as the one he wanted to surpass for years to come.

After the two left, Sun Wukong took out his fortune-telling cards to see whether his trip to Planet Frost would bring good or bad luck.

"Bad luck!"

The reading showed an omen unfavorable to him.

Then he took out his crystal ball to find Hit.

The crystal ball revealed Hit's location.

He was on the same planet as Frost.

Besides Hit, many assassins from various organizations were also on Planet Frost.

They had all come for Frost's hundred-trillion reward.

"A net closing in from every direction?"

Sun Wukong sneered and used Instant Transmission to leave Universe 6.

Since Frost had set a trap for him, Sun Wukong would wait a few years before settling the score with him. He'd let Frost live in constant fear until then.

After returning to Earth, Sun Wukong trained even harder.

Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.

On Earth, at Fried Bread Mountain.

A slender woman in a blue qipao was strolling through the mountains.

It was Chi-Chi.

More than three years had passed, and she had grown from a little girl into a lovely young woman.

Suddenly, Chi-Chi stopped and gazed at her reflection in the river.

"Almost four years have passed. I wonder what Goku looks like now! Honestly, Goku, you promised you'd come visit me when you had time, but you still haven't!"

"Chi-Chi!"

Just as Chi-Chi was talking to herself, she suddenly heard Ox-King's voice.

"Dad!"

Chi-Chi turned around and saw Ox-King with Fortune Teller Baba.

"Chi-Chi, look who came to visit you!"

Ox-King said with a smile.

"Fortune Teller Baba!"

Fortune Teller Baba smiled.

"It's been a long time, Chi-Chi!"

"Mm!"

Chi-Chi nodded.

"Fortune Teller Baba, what brings you here today?"

At that, Fortune Teller Baba glanced at Ox-King.

She had come at Ox-King's request, mainly to help Chi-Chi with her "illness."

Fortune Teller Baba smiled.

"I hadn't seen you in a long time, so I came to visit."

"Really?"

Chi-Chi looked doubtful.

"Of course! By the way, Chi-Chi, your father told me you've been saying someone's name a lot lately!"

"Do you mean Goku?"

"Goku?"

"Yes! He's Master Mutaito's disciple, and he's incredibly strong!"

"Is that so?"

Though Fortune Teller Baba said this, she was quite dismissive inside.

She didn't believe her lecherous younger brother could teach anyone impressive!

Chi-Chi nodded.

"He's also won the World Martial Arts Tournament twice!"

"Then do you like him...?"

"Mm!"

Chi-Chi nodded shyly.

"In that case, I'll tell your fortunes and see whether the two of you are destined to be together!"

As she spoke, Fortune Teller Baba took out her fortune-telling cards and had Chi-Chi draw one.

Chi-Chi drew a card and handed it to Fortune Teller Baba.

"Fortune Teller Baba, what does the future hold for Goku and me?"

"I... I don't know!"

"You don't know?"

Chi-Chi stared at Fortune Teller Baba in confusion.

"That's right! The card you drew is blank!"

"Blank?"

"A blank card means nothing! That means I can't tell your fortune. It seems the boy you like isn't ordinary!"

"Then, Fortune Teller Baba, can you tell me where he is now?"

"I think he's..."

"Ahem!"

Just then, Ox-King coughed.

"Chi-Chi, I suddenly feel a bit unwell. How about we leave it for another day?"

Chi-Chi glared angrily at Ox-King.

"Dad, if you won't let me see Goku, I'll run away from home!"

"Run away from home!"

Hearing Chi-Chi's threat, Ox-King immediately caved.

"Fortune Teller Baba, could you tell Chi-Chi where Goku is right now?"

"And the fee for the fortune-telling..."

Fortune Teller Baba rubbed her thumb and index finger together.

"Of course, of course!"

"Very well!"

Fortune Teller Baba used her crystal ball and quickly found Sun Wukong.

"The Sun Wukong you're looking for is living in West City, and he's living with a girl!"

"A... a girl!"

Chi-Chi instantly grew jealous.

"Dad, I'm going to West City. Right now!"

"Ah!"

Ox-King was startled.

He'd expected Chi-Chi to go looking for Sun Wukong, but he hadn't expected her to leave so soon!

"Girls really don't stay with their fathers forever!"

Ox-King sighed inwardly.

Then he tried to persuade Chi-Chi.

"Chi-Chi, I know you like Goku, but you don't even know the way to West City, and it wouldn't be safe for you to go there alone!"
