Tarble's Doubts and Guesses; The Vexatious Best Friend's Daily Bickering

Tarble didn't answer immediately, his sharp gaze sweeping through the void.

He had clearly felt a sense of being spied upon just moments ago, but now, it had inexplicably vanished.

However, he quickly guessed who it might be.

Was it those Kaios?

Or East Kai and the others?

Or perhaps, Whis the Angel?

In this universe, only a few of them had the ability to spy on others from a great distance.

As for other deities outside this universe, he didn't think they would have the leisure to spy on a universe ranked at the bottom in terms of human cultivation.

If they did, it would be out of sheer boredom.

After a brief period of silent speculation, he withdrew his gaze.

"Big Brother, I just felt someone secretly watching me."

"But when I tried to sense in that direction, I found nothing."

"Perhaps I sensed it wrong!"

Hearing Tarble's words, Vegeta let out a silent sigh of relief.

He had thought a powerful enemy, whom even he couldn't sense, had arrived on the scene!

He frowned and thought for a moment, recalling three individuals with special identities but low strength from a few years ago.

Realizing it was likely them secretly peeking, he immediately said with a cold face, "I might know who was secretly watching you!"

"Don't worry, they pose no threat to you."

"They just possess some special abilities!"

"Hmph!"

He deeply disdained and loathed such secretive peeking.

His sharp eyes swept towards the void, glaring fiercely as if to express his displeasure.

If it weren't for some past connections, he would have cursed them out.

Then, he withdrew his gaze, his attention returning to Tarble, his eyes once again filled with fervor.

Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly sensed Son Goku's aura.

At the same time, Son Goku's voice reached his ears.

"Yo, Vegeta!"

Turning his head in the direction of the voice, he saw Son Goku, clad in an Orange Martial Arts Uniform, grinning and waving at him.

Seeing that face inexplicably angered him, and he glared coldly, gritting his teeth in annoyance. "Kakarot, what are you doing here?!"

"I didn't invite you, and you just barged in so casually?!"

"Do you think this is your home?"

Facing Vegeta's disgruntled words, Son Goku was unfazed and walked up with a smile.

"Don't be so stingy, Vegeta."

"Besides, isn't this Bulma's house?"

So hurtful!

Critical hit!!!

That last sentence sent Vegeta into a rage.

"Kaka-rot!!!"

(｀⌒´メ) Extreme Anger!

Sensing Vegeta's death glare, Son Goku knew he might have said the wrong thing and quickly waved his hands, chuckling sheepishly, "Sorry, sorry."

"I misspoke, hehe!"

Then, without waiting to see if Vegeta had calmed down, he shifted his gaze to Tarble.

In fact, his attention had been on Tarble from the very beginning.

As for his good friend Vegeta, he had just greeted him in passing.

Seeing and feeling the powerful aura of a Super Saiyan 4 up close, he became completely excited.

"You're Vegeta's brother, Tarble, right?"

"I heard you reached this... Super Saiyan 4 form in just over a year."

"That's amazing!"

"Hey, Tarble, can you fight me once?"

When Son Goku got excited, he liked to stomp his feet in small steps.

At this moment, those feet seemed to be equipped with super electric motors, stomping at a speed that left only afterimages.

With an expression like a lecherous creep almost shoved right into his face, Tarble instinctively leaned back.

Before he could even reply, Vegeta rushed up and yanked Son Goku away.

"Kakarot, get the hell out of here."

"If there's going to be a fight, I'm going first! It's not your turn!"

When it came to fighting strong opponents, Son Goku was naturally unwilling to yield, shouting with a look of indignation: "What is that supposed to mean, Vegeta?!"

"I was the one who challenged Tarble to a fight first, so I should go first!"

"You're second!"

Hearing this, Vegeta was instantly incensed: "Get lost!"

"I am his Big Brother, so I go first!"

"You're the one who's second!"

Let him be behind Son Goku?

Impossible!

For a moment, the two of them traded barbs, arguing incessantly.

Just to settle the trivial matter of who would go first, they staged a scene reminiscent of a street brawl between shrews.

Tarble and Licks looked at this scene and exchanged glances.

These two really were a pair of Vexatious Best Friends.

While feeling speechless in his heart, Tarble also sensed that the ki of Son Gohan and the others was approaching rapidly and would arrive soon.

And so.

With a shift of his mind, he reverted to his base form.

The ki radiating from his body plummeted by 4,000 times along with it.

Such an obvious change in ki naturally caught the attention of Vegeta and Son Goku, who were in the middle of their bickering.

In an instant, the two of them stopped arguing with unusual tacit understanding and appeared before Tarble.

"Tarble, you are going to fight me first!" Vegeta said in a tone that carried a hint of a command.

After he finished speaking, he felt that he had been a bit too harsh, so he added: "I am your Big Brother!"

Hearing this, Son Goku widened his eyes and said with dissatisfaction: "Vegeta, you're too cunning!"

"To think you'd use that to coerce Tarble!"

Vegeta glared at him and let out a cold snort: "Hmph!"

The next second, however, his face showed a hint of pride and satisfaction.

"Kakarot, Tarble's strength has completely surpassed yours now!"

"Tarble is the strongest Royal Saiyan warrior!"

"We Royal Saiyan warriors are truly the most powerful, hahahaha~"

He had expected Kakarot to be unconvinced and retort.

Unexpectedly, the other party admitted it quite readily.

He saw him nod very seriously and say loudly: "Yeah!"

"Tarble has completely surpassed me now!"

This scene left Vegeta somewhat surprised.

Yet he heard Son Goku continue: "I've been pondering all this time how I could break through to the next level."

"I never imagined that Tarble would be the first person to surpass Super Saiyan 3."

"Tarble's talent is far greater than ours."

"Kai has already told me that it only took Tarble a little over a year to reach his current level of strength."

"It's truly amazing!"

"I originally thought that I would be the one to surpass Super Saiyan 3 first, hehe~"

"Tarble, after you spar with Vegeta, could you spar with me as well?"

Now that he knew he might not be able to win against Vegeta, he could only settle for second best.

In any case, all he wanted was to cross swords with someone as powerful as Tarble.

The reason he had been bickering with Vegeta earlier was because he couldn't swallow his pride.

It was clearly his request to spar first, yet Vegeta had suddenly stepped in to ruin things.

When it came to fighting, he was not one to give up easily.

What's more, his rival was Vegeta!

But now that he saw Tarble had returned to his base form, he assumed the other party had no interest in fighting.

Therefore, who went first or second was no longer that important.
