Vegeta stopped counting and, with some effort, climbed up from the floor.
A faint smile hung on his face.
"Very good!"
"Another set finished!"
His eyes, bright with satisfaction, suddenly reflected the figure of Son Goku.
"Kakarot!"
"You just wait, I will definitely surpass you!"
"Rest for a moment, then on to the next set!"
No sooner had the words left his lips than his stomach staged a rebellion.
Grumble...
"..."
Vegeta checked the time and realized it was already nearing noon.
"Is it almost twelve o'clock already?"
"No wonder I'm feeling hungry!"
"Forget it, I'd better fill my stomach first!"
After turning off the gravity device, he felt his entire body lighten. He walked to the door and pressed the open button.
As the door slid open, he prepared to step out.
Instead, he found Bulma standing there with her hands on her hips, glaring at him with a look of pure hostility.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but knit his brows, unable to understand why Bulma looked as if she wanted to eat him alive.
He remembered that he had been paying his "tribute" on time lately!
Why did her expression look so sour?
Puzzled, he slowly walked down the ramp and asked, "Bulma, why are you here?"
Bulma said with a cold face, "Training, training, training!"
"All you ever think about is training. Is there anything else in you Saiyans' brains besides training?"
"I have to come and fetch you just to eat a meal. If you love training so much, why don't you just stop eating altogether!"
With that, she turned and walked away.
Vegeta watched her back, his face showing no sign of displeasure.
However, with his tsundere nature, he instinctively spat out, "Nagging!"
"Do you think we Saiyans are called a warrior race for nothing?"
He then stepped forward to follow her.
However.
He hadn't taken more than a few steps when he suddenly stopped, looking up at the sky in shock and suspicion.
These two ki signatures are... Saiyans?
Before he could even begin to guess, he heard Bulma's dissatisfied voice from ahead.
"Vegeta!"
"What are you standing there like an idiot for?"
"Are you going to eat or not?!"
Unfortunately, Vegeta's attention was no longer on her, and he turned a deaf ear to her shouting.
Seeing that Vegeta didn't respond, she was about to scold him again, but she noticed his solemn posture as he stared upward.
The words that had reached her lips were swallowed back down.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Because she knew that for him to show such a serious expression, he had likely encountered something significant.
For instance, an enemy invasion!
At that thought, she hurriedly looked up, but she couldn't see a thing.
She took a few quick steps to Vegeta's side and asked, "Vegeta, is there another enemy?"
She was not a woman like Chi-Chi, who couldn't read the situation regardless of the circumstances.
She might complain in daily life, but once a real issue arose, she would silently support him and provide assistance to the best of her ability.
When it came to major matters, she would never interfere with her man's priorities or serious business.
For a Saiyan, what was serious business?
Naturally, it was fighting and training.
As for combat, it generally meant encountering an enemy.
In such situations, she was clever enough to naturally distinguish the urgency of the matter.
One had to pick the right time to throw a tantrum.
Precisely because of this, Vegeta was very happy to be with her.
A woman who knew her boundaries was the most beloved by men.
Hearing Bulma's words, the furrow in Vegeta's brow suddenly smoothed out.
"It shouldn't be an enemy, but the people coming this time are very likely Saiyans."
Upon hearing this, Bulma asked in surprise, "Eh?"
"Saiyans?"
"Vegeta, didn't you say that all the Saiyans are on Earth now?"
After listening, Vegeta was silent for two seconds before saying, "Bulma, actually, I have a younger brother, a biological brother."
"It's just that because his combat power was low at birth, he was sent to a fringe planet."
"Very few people know about this."
"If I'm not mistaken, he should be among these two Saiyans."
Although he said it that way, he lacked a bit of confidence.
Because, before invading Earth, he couldn't sense ki, so how would he know what Tarble's ki felt like?
Besides, when he recalled the Saiyans from abroad back to Planet Vegeta years ago, it was to summon those out on missions, not those exiled to fringe planets.
Therefore, he wasn't certain if the person arriving was truly Tarble.
After hearing his words, Bulma suddenly exclaimed, "What, a younger brother?"
"You actually have a younger brother?"
"How come you never mentioned it?"
"Vegeta, we've been a married couple for so many years; how many more things have you been hiding from me?"
As she spoke, she put her hands on her hips again, her mouth pouting.
They had been married for so many years, and she had never heard of this.
It would be strange if she didn't have a little attitude.
However.
Seeing this, although a trace of imperceptible embarrassment flashed in Vegeta's eyes, his face remained calm.
Just as he was about to make an excuse, he suddenly looked up.
"Hm?"
"No, there are two pursuers behind them, and they look much stronger than them."
"Bulma, you go ahead and eat at home; I'm going to take a look!"
Having said that, without waiting for Bulma's response, he erupted with a white aura and shot into the sky.
Whoosh!
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the horizon.
Seeing this, Bulma stomped her feet in anger: "What the!"
"He didn't explain anything and just ran off!"
"Honestly!"
"But, Vegeta actually has a younger brother..."
"Then why didn't he go and bring his brother to Earth before?"
"Forget it, Saiyans have very little sense of sentimentality; not bringing him over is normal."
"Tarble... Tarble... this name shares two characters with my name!"
"Wait, why does it sound so much like a combination of my name and Vegeta's?"
"How strange!"
"No, I have to arrange for people to get things ready; if it really is Vegeta's brother, we shouldn't be without something to entertain him!"
"Hmm, I also need to put on some proper makeup..."
At the same time.
The other Z Fighters on Earth also sensed four relatively powerful ki signatures entering the planet quite openly.
At Yamcha's house.
Puar looked at Yamcha, who had suddenly looked up, and couldn't help but ask: "Master Yamcha, what's wrong?"
"Someone has arrived on Earth, and there are four of them!" Yamcha's scarred face looked incredibly grave. "I don't know if they're friend or foe!"
"Puar, you stay here at the house. I'm going to go see what's happening!"
However.
Puar disagreed: "No, I'm coming with you!"
Yamcha looked down at him, and seeing the look of absolute determination on his face, he knew he couldn't talk him out of it, so he had to agree: "Fine, then we'll go together."
"But, the moment things look bad, you hide far away."
"Okay, I understand."
Kame House.
Krillin and Master Roshi had just set down their bowls and chopsticks when they sensed something unusual. Without even bothering to clear the table, they dashed out the door one after the other.
Android 18, left completely bewildered, chased after them.
As soon as she stepped outside, she asked, "Krillin, is something going on?"
At this moment, Krillin, who had grown his hair back out, wore a look of confusion.
"Four people have arrived on Earth from outside the planet. Two of them have very powerful, and very evil, energy signatures."
"As for the other two... wait!"
"Why do the energy signatures of those other two feel a bit like... Saiyans?"
