I Am Li Lin, an Earthling

"Hoo!" The blue-haired youth exhaled, muttering to himself, "I finally made it."

He immediately scanned his surroundings, as if searching for something.

Finding nothing, the youth felt a flicker of doubt. "That's not right. At this point in time, Frieza should have already arrived. Why is there no sign of him?"

After sweeping his gaze across the area, the youth suddenly turned around to look behind him.

Li Lin watched Trunks opposite him, smiling as he prepared to offer a greeting.

However, the youth skipped right over him, fixing his eyes on the group of Earthlings behind him.

Seeing this, Li Lin felt a bit awkward; he had to sheepishly lower the hand he had been about to raise.

It wasn't that Trunks was impolite; he simply didn't know Li Lin and had mistaken him for an ordinary Earthling.

"Everyone."

Trunks looked at the people he had once known so well, his heart filled with complex emotions.

When his eyes landed on Bulma, his expression softened considerably.

When he looked at Vegeta, his gaze lingered for a long time, though it was impossible to tell what he was thinking.

The group watched the mysterious youth who had suddenly appeared, remaining highly vigilant.

They wondered what kind of day it was, for so many mysterious strangers to be appearing one after another.

Judging by the youth's aura, he was clearly no ordinary person!

"Wow, another handsome guy!"

Bulma was completely smitten, her eyes fixed straight ahead.

First Li Lin, and now this youth—they were both incredibly cool.

She even wondered if the heavens knew her boyfriend was too useless and had decided to send her two handsome men to choose from.

"Heh."

Li Lin couldn't help but chuckle when he heard Bulma's remark.

If she knew the youth's true identity, he wondered what she would think then.

"Uh, excuse me."

Trunks scratched his head and asked, "Have you seen Frieza? I came here specifically to eliminate him. According to my calculations, he should have landed in this area!"

Upon hearing the youth's words, Vegeta clenched his hands into tight fists, a surge of anger rising within him.

This anger wasn't directed at anyone else, but at himself. After all, he wasn't related to Frieza, so there was no need to stand up for him—especially since the tyrant was already dead.

He was furious at his own lack of strength; he was simply too weak.

Frieza was such a powerful existence! He was a nightmare in Vegeta's heart, one that sent chills down his spine just to mention!

Yet now, this formidable nightmare had been casually killed by the mysterious man before him, and then another youth had appeared, claiming he wanted to destroy Frieza with such ease, as if the tyrant were nothing at all.

The way both of them acted as they pleased deeply stung the pride of the Saiyan Prince!

He began to grumble and roar in his heart, wondering why he was so weak.

In the end, he had to be saved by others. Why couldn't he be like Kakarot and transform into a Super Saiyan?

If he could, he wouldn't be feeling this kind of rage!

The others didn't notice Vegeta's distress, but they were shocked by the youth's question.

They hadn't expected the boy to say something so startling, immediately asking for trouble with Frieza.

By the looks of it, he wasn't just some random passerby either.

"Uh, well, Frieza has already been eliminated by this gentleman," Krillin said hesitantly, pointing toward Li Lin.

Trunks was slightly stunned to hear that Frieza had already been destroyed.

Could it be that Son Goku has already returned to Earth and finished him off ahead of schedule? he wondered.

With a look of doubt, he turned his gaze toward where Krillin was pointing.

Trunks looked over and saw Li Lin smiling and nodding at him.

Seeing that the person Krillin pointed to was the very man he had just ignored, Trunks widened his eyes, his expression filled with disbelief.

"Th-this... what is going on?"

Trunks appeared somewhat stunned, questioning himself repeatedly.

He tried his best to recall any information regarding this person.

However, after thinking for a long while, he came up empty-handed.

In all his memories, there was absolutely no trace of this man!

Trunks walked up to Li Lin, looking completely bewildered, and asked cautiously, "P-please, are you the one who eliminated Frieza?"

The situation had completely exceeded his understanding, and all he could do now was confirm it once more.

Li Lin seemed to perceive Trunks's confusion; he did not speak, merely nodding with a faint smile.

Seeing this man nod in confirmation, Trunks felt his bewilderment deepen even further.

According to his knowledge, Frieza should have been defeated in history by the returning Son Goku.

At this point in time, none of the powerhouses on Earth should have been a match for Frieza.

"Then, may I ask, what is your name?"

Trunks asked with great courtesy.

"My name is Li Lin, and I am an Earthling!"

Li Lin replied with complete indifference.
