"Then I'll take my leave, Uncle Bardock."

After a long conversation with Bardock, during which Talot learned everything he wanted to know, he bid farewell and left.

"Sure, remember to come over for dinner early tonight."

As Talot left, Bardock didn't say anything more. He watched him go, then his gaze instinctively turned to the room where Kakarot's incubation pod was located, his expression becoming more serious.

Just now, he had deliberately avoided some topics and only told Talot some trivial mission details.

But only he knew that a great storm was about to sweep across Planet Vegeta. If the Saiyans made a single misstep, they might be erased from the annals of history.

"Is there such a coincidence in this world? I hope I'm overthinking it," Bardock murmured to himself.

Although that Elek guy seemed unreliable, the information he provided, combined with the attack at the palace yesterday, made Bardock instinctively connect the dots and believe that Frieza was plotting against them, the Saiyans.

After much deliberation, Bardock made his decision.

Regardless of whether the information from the Zeta Organization was true or false, he had to be prepared for the worst.

If it was true, he needed to make all the necessary arrangements before it was too late, at the very least, to send Kakarot and Talot away.

If it was false, he could always bring the two children back later, with no real loss, just some wasted time.

As for Raditz, he was already part of the prince's team and would be setting out in a few days, so there was no need to worry about him.

"Perhaps King Vegeta has also received reliable information, which is why he's sending Prince Vegeta's team out to occupy a planet at this critical moment?" Bardock had another suspicion.

He hadn't thought of it before, but now it seemed like a way to protect Prince Vegeta from the impending storm.

...

Leaving Bardock's house, Talot was no longer as indecisive as before.

Back home, he began to meticulously plan everything he needed to leave Planet Vegeta.

At this critical juncture, without any real power, he could only go with the flow.

In this world, only by possessing sufficient strength could one do what they wanted.

"I can't possibly have access to a Large Spaceship with my rank, but as an upper-class warrior, I should be able to get a Medium Spaceship with Bardock's help.

"With that, I can take enough supplies.

"Most importantly, I need to get Special Medication and Healing Fluid, and preferably some raw materials. With the raw materials for research, I can have an endless supply."

As Talot muttered to himself, his scattered thoughts began to form a complete list.

"Oh right, I could also try to get some Saiyan Pod Seeds. These things have a combat power of 1200 and are completely obedient to the planter, making them the most loyal subordinates." A thought struck him, and he reviewed something he had considered before.

However, those seeds weren't available to all upper-class warriors; only the elite among them had access.

But just because he couldn't get them didn't mean others couldn't.

Bardock should have a way, and even Raditz might be able to get them with his current status.

The original Raditz was indeed a failure, but the Raditz of now was still quite successful.

It's hard to stay low-key when your dad has a combat power over ten thousand.

And since he's an upper-class warrior, his status is naturally higher.

Talot has even heard some flattery directed at Raditz.

For instance: His dad, a lower-class warrior, has such high combat power, so Raditz is sure to surpass Bardock in the future. 

Surpass Bardock...

Raditz really has that dream. If the Saiyans don't face the crisis of their planet's destruction, he might have a chance to develop slowly.

Unfortunately, in the original story, after Planet Vegeta's destruction, he had no one to take care of him and ended up as a complete waste.

It wasn't until twenty years later that his combat power reached 1500, nearly ten times less than his father's peak.

...

Time flew by, and over an hour passed.

After carefully selecting everything he needed, Talot began to think about other aspects.

The most crucial part was how to take Aunt Gine with him.

In theory, as an upper-class warrior, he can freely call on several lower-class warriors to assist him during missions.

But the problem is, he's still a kid!

And this time, it's a solo mission to occupy a medium-sized planet, so it's uncertain if he can get any support.

"If all else fails, I'll have to ask Bardock to plead on my behalf. If Aunt Gine knows I want her to come along and take care of me, she probably won't refuse," he muttered.

Right now, Aunt Gine's biggest concern is Kakarot.

But once Kakarot is sent away, she won't have any ties holding her back.

"When the time comes, she can follow me and even visit Earth. Aunt Gine would probably jump at the chance," he said to himself.

Unfortunately, it's really hard to save Bardock.

It's impossible for him to come along! Especially in the face of Planet Vegeta's destruction, if he finds out, he will definitely stay to fight the enemy.

Even if Talot reveals that he's from another world and tells him everything, it might backfire.

Worse, he might be killed by Bardock for exposing this identity.

After all, without his reincarnation, the original body was his brother's son.

Talot would undoubtedly be seen as an intruder.

"Forget it. I'll just have to go to Earth or find Planet Namek and use the Dragon Balls to revive Bardock later," he continued to think of solutions.

Bardock is absolutely impossible to take with him, no doubt about it.

Ultimately, it all comes down to his own weakness.

If he were strong enough to surpass Bardock, he could just knock him out and take him away.

He wouldn't need to consider so many things; if he decided to leave, no one on Planet Vegeta could stop him.

"Reality is that cruel. Frieza has a combat power of 530,000. He doesn't even need to transform; a single energy blast could destroy Planet Vegeta.

"If the Saiyans knew Frieza's combat power, they probably wouldn't dare to rebel at all," he thought.

Talot calmed his mind, took a deep breath of Ki, and sat cross-legged on the bed.

After yesterday's breakthrough in training and today's perception of Bardock's Ki, along with their conversation and his own reflections, he seemed to have gained new insights into Ki training.

Before he knew it, the afternoon had passed.

As night fell, Talot finished his Ki consolidation training.

His strength should have improved again, especially in the use of Ki.
