Cooperation with Dr. Brief

As Dr. Wheelo's voice fell, three dark shadows emerged from the surroundings, encircling Lin Chen and Tights.

These three shadows were bizarre in appearance; one was tall and obese, looking like a balloon.

One was entirely green and covered in numerous tentacles.

The last one looked the most normal, yet he was a muscular, red-haired brute.

"Who I am is not something you are qualified to know." Lin Chen grabbed Tights' hand and slowly lifted her off the ground.

"Huh? You can actually fly?"

Tights was completely stunned. She looked down at Lin Chen's feet, but found no signs of flame propulsion. How were they flying?

"You brat, you want to escape? Where do you think you can go in front of my three bio-warriors, created using the pinnacle of biochemical technology?"

"Jasmine! Misoz! Ebrio! Get them—"

Just as Dr. Wheelo was issuing his command, Lin Chen took Tights and flew straight up, ignoring the ceiling above.

Seeing that the two were about to crash into the roof, Tights instinctively closed her eyes and screamed.

But at that moment, a beam of light flickered from Lin Chen's fingertip, instantly blasting a skylight into Dr. Wheelo's laboratory.

"What? My laboratory, reinforced with super-alloys, was broken into so easily?" Dr. Wheelo exclaimed.

In the sky, Tights didn't feel the impact of the roof. Instead, she suddenly felt the surrounding temperature drop rapidly. She opened one eye slightly and nearly screamed.

"We... we're in the sky? Hahaha! This feeling is amazing! A... achoo!"

Seeing that Tights was a bit cold, Lin Chen extended his other hand and channeled some ki toward her.

Tights immediately felt her body warm up significantly.

"That's incredible! By the way, you still haven't answered me—are you really an alien?"

Pulled by Lin Chen to an altitude of a thousand meters, Tights showed no signs of fear; the Brief family truly had no ordinary people.

"That's right. My name is Lin Chen, and I am a Saiyan from Planet Vegeta."

"Planet Vegeta? A Saiyan?"

Hearing Lin Chen's identity, Tights looked as if she had seen a ghost. "Are... are you here to invade Earth?"

Tights had actually heard of Saiyans before because she had a friend named Jaco who was also an alien from off-world.

"You heard that from Jaco, didn't you?"

"You know Jaco?"

"The Galactic Patrolman Jaco, right? I've heard of him."

"Is that unreliable guy really that famous?" Tights muttered, then glanced at Lin Chen, only to see him pointing his open palm toward the ground below.

"What are you doing?"

"Solving a future problem for your father. That Dr. Wheelo won't just give up. I saved you this time, but he might go after your family again, and I don't have the time to keep looking after you all," Lin Chen said nonchalantly.

Whoosh!

A ball of light flew from his palm.

The light sphere moved with incredible speed, flying back along the path they had come in the blink of an eye. It dove into Dr. Wheelo's laboratory and landed right in front of the three bio-warriors and Dr. Wheelo's brain.

"What is this..." Dr. Wheelo and his creations stared at the light sphere in confusion.

But the next moment, the sphere erupted with a blinding radiance, and a terrifying surge of energy instantly swallowed everything in the room.

Following that, Dr. Wheelo, the mad scientist who dreamed of ruling the world, was sent straight to hell along with his three bio-warriors who hadn't even seen combat.

Boom!

Watching the massive light sphere consume the entire laboratory below, Tights was dumbfounded, her body trembling.

"My... my god! Jaco was right, you guys really are a dangerous bunch!"

"Hey, I just saved you. Saying that is a bit ungrateful, don't you think?" Lin Chen said with a smile.

"Uh... sorry." Tights immediately said with a serious expression, "Let's start over. Hello, my name is Tights, Dr. Brief's eldest daughter. Thank you for saving me."

Lin Chen smiled at the short-haired girl, suddenly finding her quite interesting.

Lin Chen did not know that under his smile, the girl's heart had begun to beat at an uncontrollable pace.

West City, Dr. Brief's home.

After hurriedly dealing with the police inquiries, Dr. Brief rushed back to his living room.

There, Mrs. Brief was treating Hanasia, who had been left behind, to delicious cake and milk tea.

When Dr. Brief saw his daughter Bulma curiously poking the tail of Hanasia—who was wolfing down the cake—a drop of cold sweat couldn't help but roll down his forehead.

This brat, couldn't she read the room?

If she annoyed that alien, wasn't she afraid their whole family would be killed?

However, at that very moment, two figures appeared in the center of the living room.

It was Lin Chen and Tights, who had just returned via Instant Transmission.

"Big sister!"

"Your Majesty!"

"Tights!"

Seeing the two of them return, exclamations immediately rang out across the scene.

Bulma jumped up to embrace her eldest sister, Mrs. Brief clutched her daughter with a look of shock, while Hanasia stood up and offered a piece of cake to Lin Chen.

"Your Majesty, you must try this. The food on this planet is simply delicious."

Lin Chen smiled and declined, then turned his head to look at Dr. Brief, who was still standing there in a daze.

"Dr. Brief, I have brought your daughter back safely."

"Th-thank you, Mr. Lin Chen. And what about Dr. Wheelo..."

"He will never bother you again. Ever."

Dr. Brief adjusted his glasses. "Is, is that so? Very well then, thank you, Mr. Lin Chen. Now, can you tell me the purpose of your visit this time?"

"Oh, dear! He just saved our daughter, can't you wait a while before talking about business? I'm going to prepare a feast right now; we must treat them properly!" Mrs. Brief said, displeased.

"Go ahead and prepare it, ma'am. Dr. Brief and I can discuss matters while we wait for you. Hanasia!" Lin Chen called out.

"Ma'am, let me help you. I want to see how you made those things from earlier!" Hanasia immediately grabbed the Tights sisters and ushered Mrs. Brief toward the kitchen, leaving the space to Lin Chen and Dr. Brief.

"Dr. Brief, I'll get straight to the point. I've come here today hoping to obtain your assistance," Lin Chen began.

Hearing this, Dr. Brief rubbed his hands together. "Mr. Lin Chen, with your level of strength, I don't know what I could possibly do for you."

Lin Chen shook his head. "Although we Saiyans are stronger than Earthlings, we lack the ability to develop technology. Therefore, I hope to receive technical support from you and the Capsule Corporation behind you, to provide technological products for our Saiyan race."
