At Dragon Ball Company Headquarters, Western Region—
"Yuujin, why did it take you all so long to come back?"
While directing a group of employees to clean the office that Tao Pai Pai had wrecked, Bulma and Tights quickly came over as they saw Yuujin and Goku return.
"After subduing Tao Pai Pai, we took a little time to wipe out the Red Ribbon Army too, so it took a bit longer."
"Don't worry. From now on, no one will dare to mess with our company."
Yuujin sat on the sofa, wrapping his arms around the waists of Bulma and Tights, and smiled.
"You actually subdued Tao Pai Pai, the world's top assassin?"
"And the Red Ribbon Army has been wiped out too…"
Though Bulma knew herboyfriend was powerful enough to handle these feats, hearing it still left her a bit dizzy.
Never mind Tao Pai Pai, but the Red Ribbon Army was a world-renowned terrorist organization that even the government couldn't handle. And Yuujin took them down so easily?!
"Yuujin, who is this lady?"
Tight's voice sounded, as she looked with some confusion at Colonel Violet, who was standing off to the side.
"She's Colonel Violet, formerly a member of the Red Ribbon Army. But she's left them now and is one of my subordinates."
Pulling Tights into his embrace as well, Yuujin introduced Colonel Violet to the ladies.
Tights was indifferent, but Bulma's lips immediately pouted upon hearing that yet another person was joining Yuujin's team.
First Mai, and now this Colonel Violet.
This darned Yuujin. Don't think I don't know what's going on in that mind of yours.
Subordinate, huh? They're all just members of your harem, aren't they?!
(T/N: Don't worry, Bulma they won't be part of his harem as long as I am here)
Though she felt quite jealous, Bulma merely huffed a few times without saying anything further. She knew from experience that throwing a fit would just lead to Yuujin teasing her mercilessly, forcing her to eventually accept it.
After dealing with this scoundrel for so long, she didn't even feel like getting jealous anymore.
Yuujin was a bit surprised to see that Bulma wasn't acting out this time and instead wore a pleased expression.
Finally, his Bulma had matured; it was no small feat.
"Mai, Violet is one of your companions now; you can handle her as well."
"Yes, Master."
After bowing to Yuujin, Mai looked over at Violet with a faint smile.
Master was truly amazing, acquiring another useful tool so quickly.
Colonel Violet, overhearing their conversation, felt a bit of a chill. The thought of escaping crossed her mind, but the terrifying images in her memory convinced her to stay put.
Fine, fine. It's impossible for me to escape this man's grasp. As long as I behave and serve him well, he shouldn't make things too difficult for me, right?
As for Colonel Violet's situation, now it was time to address Tao Pai Pai—
"Tights, make arrangements for Tao Pai Pai to be our company's guard and head of security. He'll handle all the company's defense."
"Tao Pai Pai, is that acceptable?"
"Of course, I'll obey any orders from the boss and his ladies to protect the company."
Yuujin looked over at Tao Pai Pai, who promptly agreed.
Previously, Tao Pai Pai might have harbored resentment and thought of revenge, but after witnessing Yuujin's and Snake Princess's powers, all such thoughts vanished.
These monsters were completely beyond him. To survive, it was best to obediently guard their gates.
Tights hesitated, feeling it might be excessive to have the world's top assassin as their guard, but since Yuujin had decided, she didn't protest.
Thus, it was settled that the Dragon Ball Company would now have a ruthless, bloodthirsty guard. Anyone foolish enough to cause trouble there would experience the terror of the doorman firsthand…
Location: A Laboratory at Dragon Ball Company Headquarters
Various high-tech devices were arranged throughout the room as a group of scientists in white coats busily worked.
These scientists were not studying the alien technology Yuujin brought back but were instead researching Senzu Beans and the pits of Hell Peaches!
"How's the research coming along, Bulma?"
Sitting in the observation room, Yuujin asked Bulma.
Yuujin had long planned to mass-produce Senzu Beans and had instructed Bulma and Tights to establish a lab right after the company was founded. As for Esenji, those were added to the agenda after training at King Kai's planet.
"No luck with the Esenji pits; they won't sprout or grow at all."
"Senzu Beans are showing some progress, but cultivating them consumes a lot of resources and yields remain low. Small amounts are manageable, but large-scale production is impossible."
Bulma shook her head.
Though she was a genius scientist nearly on par with her father, Dr. Brief, her expertise lay in mechanics, not biological research. She had to rely on other scientists, and the results were disappointing.
Yuujin stroked his chin in thought.
Both Senzu Beans and Esenji would be essential to his future plans.
A single Senzu Bean could heal all injuries, making it the best healing remedy. And a Esenji would increase strength, allowing Yuujin to rapidly cultivate a powerful team or even an army!
He needed a way to mass-produce both Senzu Beans and Esenji.
But Senzu Beans and Esenji were not ordinary items; they were divine objects. Even if the scientists worked for years or decades, it was unlikely they'd make much progress. And Yuujin certainly wasn't patient enough to wait that long.
His eyes flashed with determination—
"Let's use the Dragon Balls!"
