On Planet Vegeta.
With Talot, Selari, and Gine's spaceship disappearing into the distance, and the Battle Power Detector showing no signal, Bardock finally let out a sigh of relief, as if a great weight had been lifted from his shoulders.
"With Planet Aura's level of combat power, your lives will not be in danger.
"Selari and Gine are in your hands, Talot. With your intelligence, taking care of them should not be a problem.
"I hope this storm will pass quickly. Once I confirm that everything is under control here, I will come to find you."
After saying these words, Bardock turned and prepared to leave. Now that Talot had taken Gine and Selari away from Planet Vegeta, he no longer had any worries.
Next, he could act without any reservations.
[Planet Kanassa, this mission is definitely not as simple as it seems. Even King Vegeta emphasized the need to investigate Frieza's intentions. Could there really be some dark secret on Planet Kanassa? I need to prepare more things before the final day.] With this thought, Bardock headed toward his home.
The sky was getting brighter, the sun rising, and most people were finally getting up and out. Upon seeing Bardock, they greeted him one by one.
To the Saiyans in this area, who didn't know Bardock? Who didn't admire him? He was the epitome of a lower-class warrior and the strongest among them!
It didn't take long for Bardock to return home.
He spent some time organizing his equipment and then left without any lingering thoughts.
This place was a home to him in some sense, but in another sense, it was not. To him, a place with family was a home. Without family, it was just a dwelling.
Just as he was about to head to Capital City to find his team, a strange feeling made Bardock frown. He turned his head and scanned the surroundings, eventually focusing on a shadowy corner for a long time.
His intuition told him that someone was watching him.
Strangely, if his feeling was correct, the Battle Power Detector should have reacted.
"Am I just imagining things? Or have I been too sensitive lately because of the mental strain?" he muttered to himself. Bardock then released his energy and flew into the sky, heading toward Capital City.
Just as Bardock had left, a figure in a special battle suit emerged from the shadowy corner he had been observing.
"Phew, that was close. Almost got caught. Bardock really lives up to his reputation as a warrior with a battle power of ten thousand. His combat instincts are too sharp.
"Good thing I had the Signal Jammer, or I would have been in trouble if I had been discovered.
"No! This isn't the time to marvel. I need to report Bardock's family situation to the king!"
In the next second, the Saiyan also took off at great speed, heading toward the palace in Capital City.
...
At that moment.
In the palace of Capital City.
King Vegeta was seated on his throne, with an elite warrior standing below, reporting recent intelligence to him.
The gist of the report was that Frieza, fearing the legendary Super Saiyan of their race, was planning to target the Saiyans.
There was even reliable information that Frieza had ordered his subordinates to gather secretly, planning to descend upon Planet Vegeta in the near future.
"Hmph! Just as I suspected. Frieza, that self-proclaimed ruler of the universe, who believes he controls everything, is afraid of the legendary power of our race. How laughable.
He thinks he can take me down, but in fact, I've been preparing to deal with him all along!" King Vegeta said with disdain, a hint of pride in his voice as he finished his sentence.
The Galactic Emperor fears the Super Saiyan!
This proves that the Saiyans should be the rulers of the universe.
"The elite warriors who are out on missions are returning one by one. I believe that within a short time, at least eighty percent of them will be back on schedule."
Upon hearing this, King Vegeta's heart swelled with joy. "Excellent! Since Frieza plans to suppress us this time, I will make sure to keep him here forever! As long as we gather the power of all our elite warriors, Frieza is nothing! Even if his combat power is ten thousand, and even if there is King Cold, we can take them both down!"
His words revealed just how confident King Vegeta was.
He would never know how naive this thought was.
At that moment, the palace doors were pushed open again, and the atmosphere in the hall changed abruptly. Not only King Vegeta, but the elite warrior also became solemn.
King Vegeta gave him a meaningful look, and the man disappeared from the hall.
Turning to the newcomer, King Vegeta straightened his posture and said with authority, "Arleta, you must have some important news to report to see me so urgently."
The newcomer was an upper-class warrior King Vegeta had assigned to monitor Bardock and his family's movements.
"My King, the latest intelligence confirms that Bardock has, as you predicted, sent his wife and children off Planet Vegeta. He has now arrived in the royal city and is likely looking for his subordinates."
King Vegeta nodded slightly.
He was not particularly concerned about Bardock sending his family away.
After all, they were just low-level warriors with low combat power.
Especially Bardock's youngest son, whose combat power was only 2.
"It seems Bardock is being sensible and hasn't planned to flee with his family. He's come to the royal city to gather his subordinates, likely preparing to invade Planet Kanassa." After a brief analysis, King Vegeta took a deep breath and leaned back on his throne. "There's no need to continue monitoring him. You may withdraw."
"Your will, my King." The upper-class warrior, relieved to receive King Vegeta's order, quickly left the hall.
This mission had been a trap, and he had no idea what King Vegeta was planning.
After Arleta left, King Vegeta turned his gaze to the other side of the hall.
A figure emerged from the darkness.
King Vegeta asked if the planet where Bardock's family had been sent had been reported, and then inquired about the latest news on a certain matter. After dismissing the person, he fell into deep thought alone.
In the empty hall, King Vegeta seemed lonely.
[Is the legendary Super Saiyan that brat?] King Vegeta's feelings were complex.
Lately, there had been more and more rumors about the legend, forcing him to reflect deeply.
Recalling the past, his son Vegeta had been born with a combat power of 2000, breaking and setting the highest record for Saiyan birth combat power in history.
He had thought that his son would become the legend, at least that Vegeta's talent would be the highest among the Saiyans.
Vegeta had not disappointed him!
However, just as he thought his son might fulfill the legend, a more terrifying newborn was born.
Not only did this child surpass Vegeta, but he was born with a combat power of 10,000!
