New Problems Arise

Seeing Reke look as if he were about to take action, Lola began to feel afraid and hurriedly blurted out everything she knew.

"It's true! I heard Fifth Brother say that seeing you reminded him of the roaring sound from that night. That's why he started trembling uncontrollably."

"Huh?"

"You aren't lying to me?" Reke hesitated.

"Why would I lie to you? My Fifth Brother was severely injured by that roar that night, and it left him with a trauma," Lola said sincerely.

"It's just a bit strange. You weren't the one who made that sound, so why does Fifth Brother shake when he looks at you?" Lola voiced the doubt in her heart.

After hearing this, Reke began to feel a guilty conscience.

Others might not know what that roar was about, but he knew it clearly, even though he had lost his memories.

This also explained why Four-Ears trembled when he saw him.

But how could he possibly admit to such a thing? He stiffened his neck and said, "How would I know about Four-Ears? That makes no sense."

With the misunderstanding cleared up, Reke followed Lola back into the aircraft.

He scanned the area and didn't see Four-Ears. After spreading his senses, he discovered he was staying in his room, so he cast the matter to the back of his mind.

Instead, he asked curiously, "Were you all injured that night?"

"No, just my Fifth Brother. Because he has exceptional hearing, he can amplify it a hundredfold. His eardrums were ruptured at the time, and he was injured."

"Then your Fifth Brother is quite the talent. Does he keep his hearing amplified a hundredfold all the time? Doesn't he go insane?"

"He usually maintains normal hearing. I don't know why he activated the hundredfold amplification that day."

"What a freak." After muttering this under his breath, Reke continued to lie on the sofa to rest.

Two days later, the aircraft entered Panxi City and landed on the roof of a three-story building.

Reke and his group stepped out of the aircraft.

Looking at the high-rise buildings all around, Reke's mood became much brighter.

This not only meant he could enjoy modern life, but he could also continue to grow stronger.

It also gave him hope of leaving.

"Lola, where is the most famous scientist around here? Let's go find him now," Reke said impatiently.

Lola slapped her forehead and asked, "Do you have any money?"

"No money." Reke said these two words with righteous confidence.

"I'm still an eight-year-old baby, what would I need money for?"

"You want to go looking for him without money? He won't even pay attention to you." Seeing Reke's attitude, Lola's head began to ache again.

"You, a baby? Have some shame, please."

Lola didn't believe him at all.

"Hey!"

Reke felt annoyed seeing Lola's expression. Regardless of anything else, he was indeed eight years old in this life, even if his strength was a bit high.

But his strength couldn't erase his age.

He was just about to open his mouth to have a proper argument with Lola.

"Alright, let's rest for today. We'll talk about everything else tomorrow," Lola said, waving her hand impatiently.

"Tch, women." Reke turned his head, looking at Lola sideways with a look of disdain.

Disdain aside, Reke's body honestly followed behind Lola.

As soon as he entered the room, Reke's body automatically headed toward the kitchen.

After Reke had eaten and drunk his fill, he saw Lola walk out with her slender figure wrapped in a bath towel.

Reke's face flushed slightly, and he scolded, "Do you have no shame? Don't you see a grown man like me standing right here? Running out without even wearing clothes."

"A man? Where?" Lola began looking around.

Watching her, Reke clenched his fists so tightly that the veins on his forehead began to bulge.

Damn it, this person doesn't just look down on me, she's completely ignoring my existence, Reke thought, his anger flaring up instantly.

Although he had no plans to look for women right now and had always lived by the motto that "women will affect my path to strength," that was no reason for him to accept being ignored by someone else.

His expression darkened instantly, and he said viciously, "Are you blind? If you don't want your eyes, I can help you dig them out."

Seeing Reke looking like he was about to explode, Lola dared not say another word and hurriedly ran into her room to put on clothes.

When she came out, she kept her head down, not daring to look at Reke.

"I'm warning you, never ignore me again," Reke's roar rang out.

It shook the three-story building so hard it creaked, looking as if it would collapse the next second.

This was the second time Lola had seen Reke lose his temper, and this time, the fury was even greater than the first.

"Fine, fine, fine, I won't do it again."

"Hmph!"

Reke walked into the bathroom without looking back.

As the cold water washed over him, he felt that something was wrong with himself.

Logically speaking, he shouldn't have such a short temper; if he had been like this in his past life, he would have been in countless fights by now.

In reality, he had barely fought at all in his past life.

The more Reke thought about it, the more wrong it felt.

Why was he like a powder keg now? If it had been the situation from last time, it might have been understandable, as he had felt his life was under threat.

But today's situation was clearly different; someone was in his home, and it wasn't for an outsider to dictate how things should be run.

Thinking of this, Reke finished his shower quickly.

He slipped into his room in a flash.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, his body slowly began to hover.

He immersed his mind within his body, checking every part of himself over and over again.

Finally, he discovered an abnormality within his cells.

The S-cells he had cultivated over the past five years were being assimilated by his ordinary cells.

In the half-month he had been out, not only was he about to lose his state of "Nothingness," but even his S-cells were nearly assimilated.

"This is too strange, isn't it?"

"If all Saiyans were in this situation, never mind Kakarot, take Vegeta for example—how did he manage to cultivate S-cells and ensure they wouldn't be assimilated?"

"Could it just be because he's the second lead?"

The more he thought about it, the stranger it felt.

Reke recalled every single Saiyan from the anime over and over again.

He found the difference.

The Vegeta of the main timeline transformed into a Super Saiyan within three years after learning of the Androids' arrival.

Meanwhile, the Vegeta of the future timeline clearly never transformed; otherwise, he wouldn't have been killed without any resistance.

What was the difference between the two?

Reke began to eliminate possibilities one by one.

First, personality:

There was certainly no difference; both were equally proud.

Next, lifestyle:

There was no change there either; both had lived on Earth for a long time and had Trunks with Bulma.

Finally, there was only one point left.

Pressure.

The excitement of encountering a strong enemy had constantly stimulated the division of his S-cells, accelerating the process of becoming a Super Saiyan.

Having figured this out, Reke felt enlightened and broke into a smile.

Because he knew he was practically invincible on this planet and Frieza wouldn't be coming for him, his personality had been slowly becoming arrogant.

Just like those Saiyans on Planet Vegeta in the past, who didn't even know the true strength of their opponents and thought they were invincible just by transforming into a Giant Ape to increase their combat power tenfold.

A cold sweat broke out on Reke, and he was soaked through in an instant.

"So dangerous. Damn it, that was close. I was just a hair's breadth away from falling into that trap."
