Son Goku Returns

"That blonde girl actually defeated Frieza's father so easily!"

Piccolo's jaw nearly dropped in shock. Vegeta beside him did not look much better. They had all experienced Frieza's power firsthand.

And now, King Cold, who was even stronger than Frieza, had been killed so effortlessly.

In that instant, countless thoughts ran through their minds. Who was this blonde girl? What was her purpose? Would she try to eliminate them too? An involuntary fear rose within them.

The most fundamental emotion of life was fear, and fear mostly came from the unknown!

The blonde girl turned to Son Wuling and the others with a faint smile. "I'm going to see Mr. Goku now. Would you like to come with me?"

The blonde girl quickly corrected herself, nearly letting it slip out of habit!

"What?" Piccolo, Vegeta, and the others froze!

Just as I thought! Son Wuling thought to himself, frowning slightly as he took the lead and flew after the girl who looked so much like Android 18!

"Wuling, you..."

Piccolo watched Son Wuling follow her without hesitation. He had just been about to stop him, but gritted his teeth and chose to trust Son Wuling, flying after him as well!

Vegeta, Son Gohan, and the others followed close behind!

The blonde girl landed in a mountainous area, took out a Capsule, and opened it. A refrigerator appeared, filled with drinks. Looking at Son Wuling and the others as they arrived, she smiled. "Mr. Goku won't be here for another three hours. There are plenty of drinks here, so help yourselves!"

No one dared to move. Even after seeing the blonde girl open a bottle of soda, no one dared touch anything! The scene of her killing King Cold had left a deep shadow over them, until Son Wuling was the first to walk over.

"Hey, Wuling, what's with you? This really isn't like you!"

Piccolo hurried after him and spoke up.

Son Wuling picked up a drink and opened it without hesitation. "It's simple. If she wanted to do something to us, with her strength, she wouldn't need to go through all this trouble. But if she truly means harm to Earth or to you all, then even if my soul is destroyed, I won't let her get away with it!"

Son Wuling's final words were filled with resolve. His dark eyes made the blonde girl quickly turn her head away, her body trembling unnaturally as her cheeks puffed up as though she were holding back her breath.

"Dad's talking about Soul Shock, right? The power of that move depends on the strength of the user's soul. Hmph, he actually wanted to use that on me. When I get back, I'll tell Mom... No, that won't work. Mom is always all lovey-dovey with Dad, so she definitely won't take my side. I'll go find Uncle Goku and Auntie instead. Especially Auntie—Dad's terrified of her."

The blonde girl seemed to think of something, and a smile she could not suppress appeared on her face.

Hearing Son Wuling's words, everyone let down their guard. Fear came from the unknown, and Son Wuling was right. If she truly wanted to do something to them, they would not be able to resist anyway!

Son Gohan walked up to the blonde girl and asked, "Um, big sister, why do you know about my dad?"

"Big sister... Ahem!"

The girl was stunned for a moment by Son Gohan's form of address. After coming back to her senses, she gave a soft cough to hide her embarrassment and answered, "Because I can foresee the future. That's why I knew Mr. Goku would land here three hours from now!"

"Are you sure?"

Son Wuling pointed upward. At that moment, a huge spherical spaceship broke through the atmosphere and came crashing down through the clouds.

"What?"

The expression on the girl's face froze instantly. She was completely dumbfounded!

"Th-this... What's going on?"

The blonde girl clutched her head, unable to believe it. She was practically going insane!

"Ah, it really is Goku's energy... That's right, Goku's back!"

Yamcha said excitedly.

"He's gotten stronger, Goku!" Tien Shinhan and Chiaotzu rushed over with Son Gohan, Piccolo, and the others, while Vegeta strolled over at his leisure as well!

Looking at the blonde girl, who had nearly turned to stone, Son Wuling grinned and patted her shoulder. Under her blank stare, he laughed. "Girl, do you have a lot of questions? Hahaha..."

After saying that, Son Wuling poked her cheek and ran over with a loud laugh!

The blonde girl covered the cheek Son Wuling had poked, a blush instantly blooming across her face as she looked embarrassed.

The girl roared almost furiously inside, What is this? Did my appearance change history... No, that's not it...

The blonde girl suddenly realized something. Her face flushed red with anger, and after understanding the truth, she nearly went mad inside. Mom was the one who told me that information. In other words, she deliberately gave me the wrong time! Ah... Mom, you're too awful! You actually teamed up with Dad to trick me and make me embarrass myself! Waaaah... I'm going to tell Uncle and Auntie! This is infuriating...

Son Goku stepped out of the cabin. His clothes had changed completely: a white long-sleeved shirt, black shoulder-length armor, and red pants! His hair was also shaped like a black crab.

"Huh? Why are you all here?"

Son Goku looked at Son Wuling and the others in confusion and asked!

"Ah, this is great! Goku really is back!"

Yamcha, Chiaotzu, and Krillin cheered excitedly. Piccolo and Tien Shinhan wore faint smiles, while Son Wuling stepped forward and said, "Because she told us you would land here, though she got the time wrong. Goku, who is she?"

Son Goku looked in the direction Son Wuling was pointing. When he saw the blonde girl, his eyes widened in surprise, and he nearly jumped out of his skin. "Wah... There's actually someone else here!"

"What do you mean, 'someone else'?"

Son Goku's words made the blonde girl clench her fists!

Son Goku shook his head and replied, "I don't know her. Who are you? But you're incredible! You've completely hidden your energy. I can't sense her presence at all—it's like she's air!"

"You don't know her?"

Tien Shinhan, Krillin, Vegeta, Piccolo, and the others stared at Son Goku in surprise.

Son Goku rested his thumb against his chin, looking thoughtful. "That's strange. King Kai told me Frieza's father, Cold, was going to attack Earth, so I came back right away. Come to think of it, who took Cold down? Wuling, Gohan, or Piccolo? Vegeta?"

Piccolo crossed his arms over his chest and answered, "King Cold was taken out by this girl in an instant!"

The blonde girl calmed herself and returned to her previous cold, indifferent demeanor.

"Mr. Goku, Mr. Vegeta, Mr. Piccolo, Mr. Krillin, I have some very important matters to discuss with you. Could we speak somewhere private?"

"What?"

Son Wuling was dumbfounded. She had called Son Goku, Vegeta, Piccolo, and even Krillin, yet she had not called him. Was he unreliable, or did he talk too much?

Son Wuling glanced at Krillin. She had even called him—could this girl who looked so much like Android 18 really be Maron, the future daughter of Krillin and Android 18?

Is she planning to come clean and set her own parents up?
