Satan looked over with a grin; with such a formidable son-in-law becoming his disciple, he would certainly have something to brag about!
By then, he would have a disciple who could fly and possessed incredible strength.
That would be absolutely amazing!
Thinking of all this, Satan couldn't help but burst into laughter, looking at Gohan before him with complete approval.
After all, given Gohan's strength, he couldn't possibly stop his daughter from seeing him, and now that she had brought the man to his doorstep, it was clear their relationship was already set in stone.
Knowing Gohan's power, he didn't have much to worry about; the fact that his son-in-law was stronger than him was enough.
Therefore, he immediately accepted Gohan's status, which was why he spoke those words to him right away.
Gohan smiled, looking calmly at his future father-in-law.
Satan wasn't a bad person, even if he had stumbled into the title of World Champion and taken credit for many others' achievements.
Yet, he had truly contributed a great deal to Earth, and his nature was kind; he was definitely a qualified "Earth Hero"!
Most importantly, he was very suitable to be swindled, and having a World Champion father-in-law to fleece was a golden opportunity.
How could Gohan refuse? With a smile, he said lightly.
"It's not impossible to promote me as your disciple, but, Uncle Satan, there is one thing I would like to ask of you!"
Satan's eyes lit up; hearing Gohan agree, his face grew even more joyful.
He was willing to agree to anything now, nodding repeatedly as he said: "That's great! As long as you agree to be my disciple and help with the publicity, no matter what it is, I, Satan, agree!"
Gohan looked satisfied and sat down nonchalantly: "It's like this: the place where I live is too far from the city."
"Videl is my girlfriend, and I plan to live with her in the future. Traveling back and forth from the mountains is inconvenient, so I need a villa in the big city!"
Hearing that Gohan wanted a villa, Satan laughed heartily without a moment's hesitation.
As the World Champion, he had taken on many endorsements, so his net worth was substantial; a mere villa was a trivial matter to him.
He waved his hand, acting very generous: "Of course! I'll even gift you a luxury villa as part of Videl's dowry. Oh, that's right."
"I have a 1,000-square-meter luxury villa that I used for training. It's a perfect spot and it's under my name; how about I give you that one?"
This father-in-law was truly lavish, handing over a 1,000-square-meter luxury villa just like that.
The total value was likely in the hundreds of millions!
The man was truly wealthy, and Gohan nodded, accepting it without a hint of modesty.
"Hmm, 1,000 square meters is enough for me to train at home. Uncle Satan, thank you."
"By the way, besides the villa, I also need a bit of pocket money. Ten million or so should be about right!"
Gohan said it very casually, but cold sweat broke out on Satan's forehead.
This guy really knew how to open his mouth wide—ten million, just like that.
But having already given the villa, ten million wasn't a huge deal; after all, his daughter really liked the guy, and he was particularly satisfied with Gohan's strength.
As long as Gohan was willing to play along with his disciple publicity, he was guaranteed to make even more money.
Satan didn't hesitate at all and immediately had someone fetch 20 million.
He even threw in an extra ten million for Gohan!
"Well, 10 million isn't much to me. I'll have to rely on you to take good care of Videl in the future, so I should definitely give you a bit more."
"Here is 20 million; it should be enough to last you a while. How does that look?"
The butler at the side dragged two suitcases and placed them on the ground.
Gohan stepped forward, opened the cases to check, and seeing the 20 million, his eyes lit up as he tucked them away.
He was very satisfied with Satan's tact; as expected, fleecing him was incredibly satisfying!
Money like this was too good to pass up; after all, he would need to help when Majin Buu was born.
He was simply collecting his reward in advance. To save the Earth, taking 20 million and a villa was a bargain!
With the 20 million in hand, Gohan stowed it away and continued on with Videl to see the 1,000-square-meter city villa.
This was originally a training and vacation villa Satan had bought for himself!
The entire garden was over a hundred square meters, complete with a pool and a martial arts arena, located in an open area in the heart of the city.
The location and environment were superb.
It rivaled the large villa owned by Bulma's family, and all the furnishings and configurations were brand new.
Gohan took a look and was very satisfied. He had originally intended to find a quiet place to cultivate.
He wouldn't have to train outdoors all the time anymore; this large villa gave him great peace of mind.
If I could get Bulma to build a training protection barrier, I could basically train at home every day!
With this in mind, he decided to go find Bulma and ask for her help in setting up a training facility.
Having secured a large luxury villa, Gohan planned to move in there.
To do that, he still needed to go home and explain things to Chi-Chi.
Carrying ten million in cash, Gohan flew straight home and dumped the suitcase of money right in front of Chi-Chi.
"Starting today, I plan to move into the city," he said casually. "This is ten million in cash, given to me by Videl's father."
"It should be enough for you and Goten to get by for a while!"
Hearing Gohan's words, Chi-Chi stared at the ten million in cash on the floor, completely stunned; she never expected Gohan to bring home so much money all at once.
Overjoyed, Chi-Chi burst into tears of happiness, hugging Gohan and shouting with glee.
"This is wonderful! With this ten million, Goten and I can live quite comfortably. Gohan, you've grown up so much, earning ten million so quickly."
"I'm so proud of you!"
That was just how Chi-Chi was; once she had the cash, she didn't think about anything else.
With her approval to move out, Gohan smiled, left the ten million behind—after all, he had another ten million—and turned to leave, heading toward Bulma's house.
This time, upon arriving at Bulma's large villa, he found that, quite coincidentally, Bulma was home.
Seeing Gohan, Bulma's eyes lit up. She grabbed him and pulled him into a corner, giving him a knowing, mischievous look.
"Gohan, I heard you fought Vegeta once. For the past few days, he hasn't stepped out of the Training Room."
"It's been nearly a week; he hasn't even eaten. Please, find a way to get Vegeta to come out of there, will you?"
Bulma pressed her palms together, looking at him with a pleading expression.
It was clear that after their last fight, Vegeta had become withdrawn, training alone without eating or drinking.
Training day and night like that was seriously affecting their marriage!
That was why, seeing Gohan, Bulma had reached out to him for help; after all, it was Gohan who had turned Vegeta into this state.
She had no choice but to beg him.
Gohan thought for a moment and nodded. "Bulma, how about this: I got a villa from my girlfriend's father, but the training area there is terrible."
"I'm afraid I'll destroy it the moment I start training, so I wanted to ask for your help to upgrade it. If you can help me, I'll find a way to get Vegeta to leave the Training Room, how about that?"
Unexpectedly, for such a simple request, Bulma's eyes lit up, and she agreed without a second thought.
Knowing Gohan had a girlfriend, she laughed and gave him another mischievous wink.
"No problem, leave it to me! Also, Gohan, when are you going to bring your girlfriend over for me to see?"
"You rascal, you got a girlfriend so fast! I'm dying to know what she looks like—is she pretty?"
Knowing that was just how Bulma was, Gohan laughed it off and didn't say much more.
He sensed the turbulence in Vegeta's energy!
Sure enough, he was still in the middle of training. Not leaving the Training Room for days and not even eating—that was truly something.
Moreover, these few days of training had pushed Vegeta's strength even further.
Yet, there were faint signs of him losing control!
Vegeta's emotions were currently too unstable; he was on the verge of a breakdown, caught between the conflict of his family life and his obsession with surpassing Kakarot.
That was why he was so lost right now!
As a top-tier combatant and a driving force in protecting the Earth, Vegeta had great potential, and Gohan didn't mind guiding him.
Only by mentoring Vegeta could he make him useful for his own ends!
Having decided this, he didn't hold back and released his full ki, causing it to explode outward.
Once Vegeta sensed his energy, he immediately stopped training. Noticing him now, Vegeta took the initiative to walk out of the Training Room.
Bulma looked happy and wanted to approach him, but to her surprise, Vegeta didn't pay her any mind at all.
He locked his gaze solely on Gohan. A flicker of instability danced in Vegeta's eyes; it seemed his emotions were still in significant turmoil.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so easily controlled during the Majin Buu incident!
Vegeta's current mental cultivation was simply not enough!
Vegeta just stared at him intensely without speaking, so Gohan took the initiative to break the silence.
"Vegeta, the Martial Arts Tournament is starting in a week. My father, Kakarot, will be returning from the afterlife for one day."
"I believe you'd be interested in that, right?"
Vegeta's eyes lit up, a flash of excitement crossing his face. Sure enough, he grew agitated and clenched his fists.
He let out a cold laugh: "Is that so? That's perfect. I will participate in the Martial Arts Tournament. Tell Kakarot for me!"
"I will surpass him. This time, I will truly defeat him—I will prove my strength is greater than his!"
Gohan couldn't help but laugh, saying with a smile, "What a pity, my father has no interest in you, Vegeta. Your training is still not enough."
"If you only focus on strength, it's hard to achieve another breakthrough. Compared to my father, you're lacking in more ways than one!"
Vegeta was clearly infuriated; he clenched his fists until they cracked, glared with gritted teeth, and let out a cold snort.
"Gohan, talk to me once you can surpass me. You have no right to say these things to me!"
Having said that, Vegeta turned and left, heading back to the Training Room.
