Persuading Gohan to Become Piccolo's Disciple

"Dad!"

At that moment, Gohan woke up.

The moment he saw his father, he tightly hugged him.

"Gohan, be good. We're safe now!" Son Goku comforted him.

"Mr. Wu Fei saved us!"

Son Goku looked at Wu Fei and said to Gohan.

"Thank you, Mr. Wu Fei!" Gohan had always been very polite.

Looking at Gohan's young face, Wu Fei had an idea.

"Wukong, did you notice? The energy Gohan unleashed just now was incredibly strong!"

"Yeah! At that moment, his 'ki' was far stronger than mine!" Son Goku replied.

"Gohan has tremendous potential. As long as that potential is brought out, he will surely become a powerful warrior!"

Son Goku naturally understood what Wu Fei meant.

"Gohan, from now on, I'll secretly take you to train!" Son Goku said.

The reason he said "secretly" was naturally because Chi-Chi had always opposed Gohan training.

After all, Chi-Chi's wish was to raise Gohan into a great scholar, not a martial artist.

"Awesome! I want to be as strong as Dad too!" Gohan was extremely excited.

"No! Wukong, you're not suited to be Gohan's training instructor!"

"What? Why?"

Son Goku was utterly shocked by Wu Fei's words.

He was Gohan's father. Could there really be someone more suitable than him to teach Gohan?

"Wukong, you're too kind right now. If Gohan is to truly grow, what he needs is strictness!" Wu Fei said.

Goku deeply agreed. Indeed, when facing his own son, he simply could not be strict!

A bird raised under too much care could never become an eagle!

"Could it be that Mr. Wu Fei intends to teach Gohan personally?" Goku asked tentatively.

If Wu Fei became Gohan's training instructor, it would certainly be a good thing.

Then Son Goku saw Wu Fei shake his head, leaving him even more confused.

"I have someone more suitable in mind. It's him!"

Wu Fei pointed at Piccolo in the distance.

"Huh? Let Piccolo teach Gohan?" Son Goku's face was full of question marks.

"Hmph!"

Piccolo snorted coldly, the corners of his mouth lifting into an inscrutable smile.

"How ridiculous! Don't you know that Son Goku and I are enemies? And you want me to teach his son?"

"If I wanted to, I could end his life at any time!"

"Hahaha~"

Piccolo spoke loudly, wearing an extremely terrifying expression.

"You wouldn't do that," Wu Fei said with certainty.

After all, Piccolo was the "Sun family's nanny" and Gohan's "real father." There was no way he would ever harm Gohan.

"If you truly have such thoughts, I'll kill you before you can make a move!"

Wu Fei stared at Piccolo and spoke coldly.

For a moment, Piccolo was so frightened that cold sweat covered his forehead.

Wu Fei's intimidation was simply too terrifying. He did not dare harbor the slightest thought of defiance!

He had only been joking just now. Though he was "evil" at heart, he was absolutely a man of principles.

He would never drag other innocent people into his "grudge" with Son Goku.

Now that Wu Fei had intimidated him, he dared not entertain any improper thoughts even more.

Moreover, he was not opposed to teaching Gohan.

He had also taken notice of Gohan's immense potential, and now he desperately wanted to know just how astonishing Gohan's power would become after rigorous training.

"Piccolo! I'll leave Gohan to you!" Son Goku said.

Son Goku had never believed Piccolo to be an utterly evil demon king, and he trusted him enough to leave Gohan in his care.

Besides, he believed that with Wu Fei's "secret protection," nothing would happen to Gohan.

The three adults had now finished discussing everything, yet they had not considered the feelings of the person involved.

"Ahh~"

"I don't want to!"

Gohan cried loudly and hid behind Son Goku.

He was extremely afraid of King Piccolo, who was green all over.

Although Gohan was already four years old, he was very shy around strangers, let alone the seemingly "ferocious and evil-looking" King Piccolo!

"Dad! I don't want to go with him!"

Gohan pointed at King Piccolo and shouted.

"Gohan, don't be fooled by how scary Piccolo looks. He's actually very kind!" Son Goku comforted him.

However, Gohan's emotions did not ease.

To put it bluntly, Gohan simply did not want to leave his father!

"Gohan! Do you remember the bad guy from today? He nearly beat your dad to death!"

Wu Fei crouched down and spoke to Gohan.

"I remember! He was a really bad guy!" Gohan said angrily.

"In one year, two more bad guys will come, and they'll be even stronger!"

"You need to train hard so you can protect your dad better!"

"You don't want to see bad guys bullying your dad, do you?"

Wu Fei continued.

"No!" Gohan shook his head hard.

"And you need to train hard and become stronger before you can protect your dad!"

"Do you understand?"

"Mm! I'll train hard and become stronger!"

"To become stronger, you need to train with Piccolo."

"Don't worry, Piccolo won't dare bully you."

"If he dares bully you, your dad and I will bully him back a hundred, a thousand times worse!"

Gohan turned his head and stared intently at King Piccolo.

He slowly realized that King Piccolo did not seem quite so scary after all.

"Mm!" Gohan nodded heavily.

His tender little face suddenly became determined.

Under Wu Fei's patient guidance, Gohan finally agreed to train with King Piccolo.

"Wu Fei is way too good with words!" Son Goku remarked.

He had never expected that Gohan, whom he could not handle no matter what he tried, would be persuaded by Wu Fei in just a few words!

"Buzzz~"

At that moment, a tremendous noise came from above them.

Everyone looked up and saw a helicopter.

"Goku!"

Someone leaned out from the right side of the helicopter and shouted.

That man's hair was slick and gleaming. He was Goku's best friend—the "Noseless Star Man," Krillin!

"Bang!"

The helicopter landed, and four people stepped down: Master Roshi, Krillin, Bulma, and Yamcha.

"Great! You're all alive!"

"Where's that damned Saiyan?"

Krillin ran over to Goku and asked excitedly.

"Over there!"

Son Goku pointed toward a huge crater in the distance, where Raditz's corpse lay.

"Great! The Saiyan is dead!"

"No, that Saiyan was so strong. How did you defeat him and still come out completely unharmed?"

Krillin increasingly felt that something was off.

"Raditz wasn't defeated by us. He was defeated by him!"

Goku said with a smile, looking toward Wu Fei beside him.

"Him?"

Krillin and the others stared at Wu Fei in shock.

Although this young man was tall, handsome, and dashing, the aura he gave off was not particularly strong.

How could he possibly have been capable of defeating the powerful Raditz?
