As a series of words echoed in the ears of everyone present,
Not only was Raditz astonished, but Piccolo and Son Goku were beside him.
Even Vegeta and Nappa, on the other side of the galaxy, felt incredulous. Nappa was particularly shocked, standing up with an expression of disbelief.
He was a Saiyan, too!!!
Over the years, they had yet to overlook investigation and research... surviving Saiyans were almost extinct!
The fact that Raditz's brother Kakarot was still alive was already a miracle. Now, this guy appeared, wearing Frieza Army battle gear and a power level of 5000 points!
What did this signify?
The amount of information was overwhelming.
...
"You say you're a Saiyan too?! Impossible! According to the facts, apart from me, Nappa, Vegeta, my foolish brother, and the little brat he sired with an Earthling, there shouldn't be anyone else!"
"Are you trying to take us for fools by wearing Frieza Army battle gear?!"
Raditz protested vehemently, swearing by his words.
Being questioned to this extent, Lin Chuan knew his moment had arrived.
After all, revealing his identity proactively was for this purpose.
He wasn't afraid of scrutiny; he feared people wouldn't care or ask.
He was a Saiyan and needed to say it now to integrate better into this world.
With a smile, Lin Chuan responded, "Heh~~! Nothing in this world is absolute. Many things are not as you imagine them to be! Besides, it's you who's mistaken me for a Frieza Army soldier. I never said I was Frieza's lackey!"
"Take a good look. You should recognize the Saiyan tail, Raditz."
"I, too, am a Saiyan!"
With that, Lin Chuan released the tail around his waist.
Who would have noticed this detail before?
Everyone was shocked by Lin Chuan's sudden appearance and display of power.
Now, seeing it, everyone was once again amazed.
"So, you're really a Saiyan!" Raditz was the most shocked, and the tail was the best proof.
He stared at Lin Chuan, not hesitating to ask again, "Tell me your name!!!"
"A Saiyan's name? It's been over twenty years; if you hadn't asked, I'd have forgotten." Lin Chuan smirked.
He knew Vegeta and Nappa behind Raditz, and he also wanted to know who he was, so he continued, "Talos!"
"But compared to that name, I prefer it when others call me Lin Chuan!"
"Forest 'Lin', River 'Chuan'!"
That said, Lin Chuan glanced at Piccolo and Son Goku on the other side.
He knew they were tense and worried, so he said, "You two don't need to be so afraid. I came to Earth not with ill intent! I believe you can also sense that there's no killing intent emanating from me."
"And, you don't need to worry about Raditz doing anything either. After all, even if he wants to, with me here, he wouldn't dare."
With Lin Chuan's words, both Piccolo and Son Goku were stunned.
Lin Chuan was too direct, making it difficult for them to accept and stirring suspicion in their hearts.
Seeing this, Raditz couldn't hold back, "What's your purpose?! If you're not from the Frieza Army, why are you wearing that battle suit? And! Are you planning to protect Earth? Protect my foolish brother? Are you also planning to become a traitor to the Saiyans?!"
He fired off several questions in a row, clearly becoming agitated.
He couldn't understand what Lin Chuan was up to.
He was not an army soldier, yet he wore battle gear and arrived on Earth after him.
It was too coincidental!
Moreover, this guy was clearly here to protect Kakarot and that Namekian?
In his view, Kakarot was already a traitor to their Saiyan race!!!
...
He could only wait for Lin Chuan's response, with his thoughts in disarray.
Coercion and temptation could only be used on those weaker than oneself.
With Lin Chuan's power level reaching 5000, Raditz didn't dare to use such tactics.
The tough talk from before was probably with Vegeta backing him up.
So now, he could only question Lin Chuan's Saiyan identity.
"A traitor is just your opinion! I came to Earth with a purpose, just not the one you think."
"As for protecting Earth, Kakarot, and that Namekian, you guessed it right. I don't plan on letting you harm them... Speaking of which..."
With a slight narrowing of his eyes, Lin Chuan continued, "Speaking of which... shouldn't you be more concerned about your own situation? Rather than worrying about my intentions and whether I'll protect Earth, shouldn't you be worried about your own predicament?"
Then he added, "According to you, you came to Earth to find your brother Kakarot to help you invade other planets. But now, look at where you are. Not only did you fail to gain your brother's approval, but you also ended up in this situation."
"Perhaps when you return to Vegeta and Nappa, you won't be welcome anymore? Maybe even Vegeta, with his arrogance, would think you've embarrassed him and simply kill you as useless trash."
With Lin Chuan's critical words, along with what he said earlier,
Raditz was dumbfounded.
Yes!
What value did he have now?
He insists on coming to Earth to bring his brother Kakarot, only to fail and almost get killed by his weaker brother.
Even if he didn't die and went back now, he wouldn't get any benefits.
Moreover, with a power level of 1500, he was essentially useless in the team.
He had always considered himself clever.
He knew he was always looked down upon!
That's why he tried to keep a low profile and not speak in front of Vegeta and Nappa.
With weak strength comes no right to speak.
It's survival in the fittest world.
Seeing Raditz's serious expression, Lin Chuan was surprised for a moment. Just from his expression, he could tell Raditz understood his situation.
"It seems you understand this truth, which is the best. Ultimately, it's because you're too useless. After all these years, your power level is only 1500! You obviously didn't train but instead only know how to avoid danger and barely survive."
"So, now you're even worse than your own brother Kakarot!"
"Otherwise, even if there's no chance to become stronger, just with our Saiyan race's characteristic of getting stronger through battles, your power level should be at least above 3000 after all these years."
As Lin Chuan spoke, he also calculated how Raditz had been doing all these years.
Of course, being suppressed by the genius Vegeta and the elite Nappa, he had indeed been frustrated.
As the saying goes, the strong get stronger, and the weak get weaker. It's not without reason.
