It had been more than half a month since Planet Vegeta exploded.

Calculating the exact time, from when Talot took Gine and Selari away from Planet Vegeta until today, it had been exactly three months.

After learning about the planet's explosion, Talot would almost daily try to soothe Gine and Selari, while also counseling them to be more open-minded.

Women are indeed more emotional, especially when the person they are worried about has not been heard from.

If not for Talot's persistent efforts to block her, using Bardock's words before their departure as a barrier, Gine would have long stopped listening to him.

Talot had to crush Gine's fantasy of returning to Planet Vegeta to take a look.

It wasn't that he was heartless, nor was he afraid.

After all, it had been more than half a month, and by now, even if they returned to the coordinates of Planet Vegeta, they likely wouldn't encounter any danger.

However, going back would be meaningless and would only waste time.

In short, Talot instilled in Gine the idea that they couldn't act rashly, not for their own sake, but for Bardock and Raditz's sake.

Perhaps everyone was fine, but if they appeared on their own initiative, they might become targets and drag their family into trouble.

Whenever he mentioned this, Gine would calm down.

Over the years, she had been in charge of logistics, so she understood this situation the most.

Back then, to avoid burdening Bardock, she had stayed on the planet to handle logistics.

However, Gine was not someone who lacked independent thought and relied solely on Talot's decisions.

Gine had a high IQ and her own opinions.

So, in the end, Talot could only explain that if half a year or a year passed without any news from Bardock and Raditz, they would take action then.

As for what would happen at that time, they would deal with it when it came.

Today, Talot's Combat Power finally broke through the 2000-point mark, and he planned to start the second phase of his interstellar journey.

Not for any other reason, but for his future, to become even stronger, time was money.

To have the strength and status of the original Kakarot and Vegeta in the future, he had to take the lead, even by several steps!

In front of the wooden house.

While eating the roast meat Gine had prepared, Talot suddenly brought up the idea of leaving Planet Aura.

Some things he couldn't change, but some things he could do now to disrupt their original agreement.

And it was something Gine couldn't refuse.

...

"What? Leave Planet Aura, go to Earth?! Now??!"

"Brother Talot, are you kidding? We haven't even invaded Planet Aura, and now we're abandoning this mission to go to Earth. Won't something go wrong..."

With their exclamations, Gine and Selari's attention was completely diverted.

After Talot's explanation, Gine calmed down, and Selari gradually settled.

"Talot, are we really going to Earth to find Kakarot?

"But what if Bardock and Raditz come to Planet Aura looking for us, and we're not there? Won't we miss them?"

Gine was wavering but still found it hard to decide. She really wanted to see her youngest son, because her youngest son, Kakarot, had a Combat Power of only 2, which meant he had no ability to protect himself.

But the current situation didn't seem to be the best time to go to Earth.

They had originally agreed to wait on Planet Aura for Bardock to come and pick them up, and to see if Raditz would come looking for them.

Upon hearing Gine's words, Talot knew exactly what she would say. Without hesitation, he began to recite the well-prepared speech he had been thinking about for days:

"Aunt Gine, I've been thinking about going to Earth for several days now. At first, I had the same concerns as you, but over the past two days, I've come to a different conclusion. Our Saiyan Race has undoubtedly faced a catastrophic disaster. I believe Uncle Bardock and Raditz are still alive, but they might not come to find us right away.

"Therefore, instead of waiting and exposing ourselves, we should go to Earth and find Goku first. If we calculate the time, it's only a half-year journey from Planet Vegeta to Earth. Even though we can't catch up to Goku's spaceship, we can still reach Earth in less than half a year.

"Aunt Gine, you know that Goku's Combat Power is only 2. Even though Earth is considered one of the lowest-class planets, it's still fraught with dangers. The surviving Saiyans of our race are few and far between. If something were to happen to Goku..."

Talot left the rest unsaid.

Weighing the pros and cons, Gine would certainly agree.

As for Selari, she would follow Talot wherever he went. If Talot were not there, she would follow Gine.

"Aunt Gine, I think Brother Talot is right. Uncle Bardock and Raditz might also go to Earth to find Goku first," Selari added, providing a crucial support.

Gine's body trembled slightly at Selari's words.

No matter how much she worried about Bardock and Raditz, her concern for Goku was even greater.

After all, the Combat Power disparity was too significant.

In Gine's eyes, Goku was just an ordinary human, an ordinary person among ordinary people.

She didn't know how she and Bardock could have a child with only 2 points of Combat Power. Apart from inheriting Bardock's appearance, Goku seemed to have inherited none of their strengths.

After much deliberation, Gine remained silent. Talot pressed his advantage, saying, "Actually, the reason I want to find Goku is that I'm worried that if this crisis is one of Frieza's schemes, Goku might still be targeted. After all, his spaceship hasn't been modified, making it easy to track the signal.

"Of course, this is just a guess. With Goku's Combat Power of 2, he poses no real threat. Even if Frieza wants to destroy our Saiyan Race, he wouldn't bother chasing after a child like Goku."

With these words, Talot used the threat of danger to further touch Gine's heart, pushing her to make a decision.

"Alright, then we'll go to Earth," Gine took a deep breath and nodded solemnly.

Talot's analysis was logical and well-founded. Gine knew that Talot was not one to act rashly. Despite his young age, his intelligence far surpassed her own.

Many things she hadn't considered, Talot had.

From Talot's words, Gine realized that while Bardock and Raditz's safety was uncertain, it would be her dereliction of duty if she knew where her youngest son was and didn't go to save him.

Of course, Gine didn't know that all of this was just an excuse for Talot to go to Earth.

Once there, he had no intention of helping to find Goku.

On the contrary, he would do everything in his power to prevent Gine and Selari from interfering with Earth's development and Goku's life.

Otherwise, the protagonist of the original story wouldn't be Son Goku, but just Goku.
