Dragon Ball: Reborn as a Saiyan, They Covet Me Chapter 24

Around noon, that fellow named Son Goku left with the blue-haired woman you mentioned.

However, it has only been a little over an hour since they departed!

The Ox-King was startled.

"They only left an hour ago?"

"Yes, one hour. If you pursue them now, you should be able to catch up, right?"

Chi-Chi pressed further, "In which direction did they head?"

The manager immediately pointed to the west and said, "That woman summoned a golden cloud and flew off toward the west."

"The Flying Nimbus, it really is them.

Father, let's hurry and chase after them!"

"Very well!"

Chi-Chi and the Ox-King, father and daughter, walked out of the hotel.

They hurriedly piloted their aircraft and flew off toward the west.

The hotel staff breathed a sigh of relief only after the Ox-King had gone far away.

The front desk manager wiped away a cold sweat.

"I feel like this piece of gossip is too huge; it's such a pity we couldn't watch the drama unfold in person!"

"It's hard to imagine that the kid being toyed with by a rich woman is actually the fiancé of this cute little girl!"

"The most terrible part is, despite having a marriage contract, he still sought out a rich woman. How shameless!"

"So that big guy from earlier wasn't the little girl's boyfriend, but her father. He doesn't look like it at all!"

"How should I put it? The difference in their builds is so vast that I even doubt if that little girl is his biological daughter."

"Hey, you're just like me; I suspected that too."

"Still, although her father looks quite fierce, he seems to dote on his daughter a lot!"

"By the way, by the way, guess what will happen if this father-daughter duo finds that blue-haired rich woman and the kid?"

Everyone gasped in unison once more.

"Just thinking about it is terrifying!"

"Caught in the act by his father-in-law and fiancée, then beaten to death?"

"Sss..."

Pilaf's Castle.

"You two useless fools, if you don't retrieve the Dragon Ball by tonight, see how I deal with you!"

"Reporting to the Great King, we will definitely find it this time."

Suddenly, the radar began to beep.

"Wait a moment!"

"The radar shows that the Dragon Ball is heading toward our direction at high speed."

"Oh my, it really is!"

"Haha, all the searching was in vain, yet here it comes without any effort."

"Since they are coming to seek their own deaths, then let the battle begin!"

"Mai, Shu!"

"Present!" X2.

Mai and Shu stood at attention.

"Give them a good thrashing and get the Dragon Ball. Do you have the confidence?"

"Yes!" X2.

At the entrance of Pilaf's Castle.

Mai and Shu were each piloting a Steel Beast robot, waiting to battle Son Goku and seize the Dragon Ball.

A moment later, Bulma and Son Goku arrived at the scene.

Mai held a microphone and laughed loudly, "To dare to come to the territory of our Great King Pilaf, you are truly courting death."

As they spoke, two massive robots stepped forward, blocking Bulma and Son Goku's path.

Inside the machine, Shu laughed wildly, "Hey, you two! If you don't want to die, hand over the Dragon Ball, and our Great King might spare your lives!"

Bulma's lips curled upward as she turned to look at Goku.

"Goku, be careful not to be too rough; don't take their lives. Just beat them and Pilaf up, and get the Dragon Ball back."

Son Goku nodded, "Don't worry, I know my limits."

With that, Goku rolled up his sleeves and walked toward the robots.

Defeating these three clowns was no challenge at all for Goku at his current level of strength.

Bulma shoved her hands into her pockets, stepped back a few paces, and watched quietly as Goku engaged them in battle.

Seeing that Goku dared to take the initiative, Shu gritted his teeth and roared, "If you won't drink the toast, you'll be forced to drink the forfeit! Take this!"

As he spoke, Shu controlled the robot, swinging its massive fist down toward Goku.

Goku gave a light leap, dodging the attack with ease.

The iron-hammer-like mechanical fist slammed into the ground, erupting with a violent crash that made the entire earth tremble three times over.

Mai laughed loudly, "Hahahaha, did you see that? Lord Pilaf's robot is incredibly powerful; a single punch has the force of several tons. This punch even made the earth shake! It's a good thing you dodged it, or you would've been smashed into a pulp! I advise you to hand over the Dragon Ball honestly! It's not worth losing your life over it."

Shu also laughed maniacally.

"Exactly! I suggest you honestly submit to Lord Pilaf's power and hand over the Dragon Ball!"

Son Goku chuckled, "Power, shmower—I'll just play around with you guys!"

Saying this, Son Goku drew his Power Pole and pointed it at Shu.

In the next instant, Goku stomped on the ground and lunged toward Shu's robot.

Shu was startled, not expecting Son Goku to dare fight a giant robot with nothing but his own flesh and blood.

He immediately maneuvered the robot to counterattack.

However, the next second, the Power Pole extended, and Son Goku swung the elongated staff in a wide arc, sweeping it horizontally toward the robot.

The Power Pole was a supreme treasure, far sturdier than steel.

In a flash, the Power Pole swept across the robot, carrying a fierce gale with it.

The next moment, Goku was already standing firmly on the ground.

Shu was still confused.

"What just happened?"

Suddenly!

An abnormal sound came from the robot, and the controls became unresponsive.

Shu's body began to tilt.

"What's going on?"

"Zzzzt... crack-crack-crunch..."

Sounds of mechanical failure echoed out, and Shu's robot split in two.

The upper half, containing only the cockpit, plummeted along with Shu inside.

Before Shu could even hit the ground, Son Goku hoisted his staff again and struck the massive lower half of the machine.

The Power Pole whistled through the air, wrapped in a powerful gust of wind.

In the next instant, the Power Pole tore the lower half of the robot into two pieces.

Following a flurry of rapid electrical buzzing and flashing sparks, the robot exploded with a "bang."

It was swallowed by smoke and dust, along with the upper half of the machine.

After the smoke and dust cleared, Shu sat on the ground, charred black and dazed.

Beside him, Mai was horrified, knowing full well that even with the robot, they were no match for Son Goku.

She immediately piloted the robot to flee.

Unexpectedly, Son Goku reacted with lightning speed; his Power Pole extended once more, snapping the robot's leg in a single strike.

Before long, Mai's robot exploded as well.

She, too, crawled out from the mechanical wreckage in a sorry state.

Bulma walked up to the two of them and faced Pilaf's Castle.

She shouted, "Pilaf, if you don't want to lose your two subordinates, hurry up and hand over all six Dragon Balls to me!"

A defiant voice immediately rang out from Pilaf's Castle.

"They're just two pieces of trash; they couldn't even handle this simple task, so I don't want them anymore! Let's see what you can do about it!"

Shu and Mai were both streaming with tears.

"No, don't!"

"King Pilaf, please don't abandon us!"

However, a wicked smirk tugged at the corner of Bulma's mouth.
