Galactic Patrol Headquarters!

"Oh? You say North Kai introduced you? Do you have any proof?"

Before Son Gohan stood the Galactic King, a green, eight-limbed octopus-like being!

"Your Majesty Galactic King, proof or not is secondary. You must have a way to contact North Kai, right? Why don't you just ask him!" Son Gohan replied.

"Heh heh. You're quite bold, kid. You seem very confident in your strength!" The Galactic King didn't mind Gohan's rudeness; instead, he was very interested!

He closed his eyes, and his body emitted an invisible energy fluctuation!

King Kai's Planet

"Huh? The Galactic King? Why is he contacting me? We haven't communicated in over a thousand years!" Although North Kai was puzzled, he still connected to the Galactic King's telepathic transmission.

"Respected North Kai, it's been a long time!!"

"Galactic King. Are you well?"

The two exchanged insincere pleasantries!

"Yes, we haven't contacted each other in ages. I've missed you dearly!"

"Likewise, likewise, heh heh. May I ask why you're contacting me, Galactic King?" North Kai directly asked what was on his mind.

"There's someone here... Hmm? Judging by his race, he should be a Saiyan, named Son Gohan. He claims you introduced him. Is this true?" The Galactic King opened his eyes, took a careful look at Son Gohan, then closed them again to telepathically communicate with North Kai.

Seeing the Galactic King's actions, Son Gohan guessed he was using a special telepathic method!

"Son Gohan? He's with you??" North Kai was taken aback.

"He said you introduced him?? Isn't that right? It seems he has ill intentions and lied!" The Galactic King instantly understood North Kai's meaning.

"No, no, no... I know him. I introduced him to you. He's a genius with excellent combat power. I told him to start from the bottom, but I didn't expect this little guy to be so audacious and come straight to you!" North Kai quickly covered for Son Gohan.

Although he didn't understand why Son Gohan was there, as long as he was using his name, he shouldn't cause trouble!

He still had the major problem of Frieza in the North Galaxy to deal with, and he couldn't afford for Son Gohan to get into any trouble!

"Since the facts align, then there's no issue. Don't worry, North Kai, I'll handle him!!" The Galactic King was certainly not a fool and could hear North Kai's intention to protect Son Gohan.

Since the person himself didn't mind, he wouldn't bother being the bad guy. Building good karma wouldn't hurt!

"Then I'll trouble you, Galactic King. If there are any dangerous missions, assign him more. That kid is very strong, please train him well for me!" North Kai replied.

"Understood, understood!! I will ensure his safety!!" The Galactic King ended the transmission after his last sentence.

After all, telepathic communication was quite draining.

These two old foxes, their words required careful interpretation!

North Kai clearly said dangerous missions, assign more, and that he was very strong!

But then he added, "train him well!"

That last sentence was clearly telling the Galactic King, "He's my person. Training is fine, but his safety must be guaranteed!"

The Galactic King naturally understood, which was why he said he would ensure his safety!

Patrol Headquarters

"Kid, I've already contacted North Kai. It seems you weren't lying. He told me to train you well!!" The Galactic King became even more curious about him!

Although Saiyans were known as a warrior race, he knew better than anyone that Saiyans' combat power wasn't that great. In fact, they were controlled by the universe emperor Frieza.

Frieza had even destroyed the Saiyan planet!

He couldn't understand why North Kai valued Son Gohan so much, and why he secretly asked him to protect Son Gohan.

"Thank you very much, Your Majesty Galactic King. Can I follow him?" Son Gohan said with insincere gratitude, then pointed to Merus beside him and requested to follow him.

"Heh heh, your judgment is quite sharp. Merus is an elite member of the Patrol! Countless people want to follow him on missions. Are you that confident??" the Galactic King asked curiously.

"In the few minutes I've been here, besides you, the only other person I can't see through is him!!" Son Gohan subtly indicated that he was very strong. Those he couldn't see through were only one or two people!

"Haha, alright, interesting. Merus, you'll take him with you from now on! Is that okay?" the Galactic King said happily.

"No problem, Your Majesty Galactic King! Then I'll take him down now!!" Merus replied neither subserviently nor arrogantly.

"Mm, you may go."

Merus then left with Son Gohan.

The Galactic King watched their retreating figures and thought to himself, "An interesting Saiyan. Although he's a hybrid, his hidden strength is indeed formidable, and he lacks the usual Saiyan brutality! He's only about four years old, yet he's as mature as an old monster. A trainee Angel... a hybrid Saiyan... I wonder what kind of sparks they'll create!!"

If Son Gohan could hear the Galactic King's thoughts, he would surely be stunned!!!

This Galactic King was clearly different from the one in the anime!

He could not only see through Son Gohan's origin and strength but also clearly knew Merus's identity!!

"Brother Merus, is it okay if I call you that?" Son Gohan was incredibly nervous inside.

He certainly knew who the person before him was!!

Merus, a trainee Angel... the younger brother of Whis, the Angel of the Seventh Universe. He came to the Seventh Universe to train after his birth and had not yet been officially appointed.

In the later stages of Dragon Ball Super, he disappeared due to the rules after interfering in the battle between Son Goku and Moro.

As for whether there were any resurrections after that, Son Gohan could not remember! When he transmigrated, the anime for the second season of Dragon Ball Super had not even been released yet!

The reason he came to the Galactic Patrol headquarters was precisely because of Merus!

With Beerus not yet awake, he did not want to disturb his slumber, and Whis was always guarding Beerus!

He did not dare to rashly head to Beerus' Planet either!

The only remaining deities he could contact were the Supreme Kai and Merus!

But Shin, the Supreme Kai, was a new god who understood nothing, and he had an arrogant and conceited servant named Kibito by his side!

Furthermore, the period for pulling out the Z Sword that sealed the Old Kai occurred during the Majin Buu era!

That was after the Super Saiyan 2 transformation!

Although Son Gohan had neglected his training at that time and his combat power had dropped significantly, he was certainly stronger than his current self!

He was not sure if he could pull out the Z Sword right now!

Therefore, he did not go to Kaioshin Star! His final choice was none other than Merus!

One had to know that although Merus was an apprentice Angel, he was already proficient in Ultra Instinct; while perhaps not as pinnacle as Whis, he was still able to use it with ease!

Moreover, if he could build a good relationship with him, it would be a form of insurance for the future!

"Make yourself at home. I'll take you to get familiar with the environment first. Once there's a mission, I'll take you out a couple of times, and then you can work solo. With your strength, ordinary missions shouldn't be able to stump you!" Merus could naturally tell that Son Gohan's strength was not simple.

"Hehe, Big Brother Merus, you noticed!" Son Gohan laughed sheepishly.

"Rest assured, I can sense that you have no ill intent," Merus said calmly.

"Yeah, I came out to train and broaden my horizons. I can't see through your strength, so I figured you must be stronger than me and wanted to learn from you!" Son Gohan did not mind revealing his intentions at all.

"I like your candor! Keep up!" Merus.

"Hehe! Alright!" Son Gohan trotted along behind him eagerly!
