At that moment, Licks slowly opened his eyes.
However, the moment he did, a look of shame appeared on his face.
“My apologies, Your Highnesses.
I still haven’t been able to master the techniques for using those two types of energy.”
Tarble smiled reassuringly.
“It’s okay.
Keep practicing, and you’ll master them sooner or later.”
Vegeta frowned but said nothing.
Martial arts geniuses were not like weeds growing by the roadside.
They were incredibly rare.
He had understood that truth for many years.
He had simply never been willing to admit it.
Hearing Tarble’s encouragement, Licks’ eyes filled with determination.
“Yes, Your Highness!
I will work hard!”
Just then, Trunks descended from the sky with Bulma and Goten.
Before they had even landed, Trunks spotted Vegeta and shouted excitedly, “Dad, we’re here!”
Goten, dressed in his martial arts uniform, also noticed Gohan.
“Big Brother, I’m here!”
A moment later, all three landed smoothly in front of everyone.
“Bulma, good timing,” Vegeta said.
He pointed at Tarble and Licks.
“This is my brother, Tarble, and this is his subordinate, Licks.
They’re planning to live on Earth, so arrange a place for them to stay.”
In truth, there was no need for introductions.
Bulma had already noticed the two men wearing Saiyan battle armor.
The tails wrapped around their waists immediately revealed they were Saiyans.
Combined with Tarble’s striking resemblance to Vegeta, it didn’t take much for someone as intelligent as Bulma to figure out exactly who he was.
As for arranging accommodations, that was effortless for the richest woman on Earth.
She smiled warmly, “Hi, Tarble.
I’m Vegeta’s wife, Bulma.”
Tarble looked at Bulma, who had obviously dressed up for the occasion, and smiled.
“Hello, Sister-in-law.
I’m Tarble.”
Licks immediately bowed respectfully.
“I am your subordinate, Licks.
Greetings, Princess Bulma.”
Being called “Sister-in-law” by Tarble and “Princess” by Licks instantly put Bulma in an even better mood.
The smile on her face became brighter than ever.
“Tarble, may I call you that from now on?” she asked.
“Of course,” Tarble replied with a nod.
Bulma smiled and gently pulled Trunks forward.
“This is my son, Trunks.
Trunks, go on.
Say hello to your uncle.”
“Huh?
Uncle?” Trunks looked slightly reluctant, but under Bulma’s gaze, he obediently greeted them.
“Hello, Uncle Tarble.
Hello, Uncle Licks.”
Their strength seemed surprisingly weak.
“Hello,” Tarble replied with a smile.
Then he suddenly realized something.
Since this was their first meeting, he should have brought a gift.
Damn.
He had completely forgotten.
Then an idea came to him.
He removed the scouter from his ear and handed it to Trunks.
“Here, Trunks.
Your uncle came in such a hurry that I didn’t have time to prepare a proper gift.
So I’ll give you this scouter instead.”
Trunks looked at it curiously.
“A scouter?
What’s it for?”
“It measures a person’s Power Level and displays it as a numerical value,” Tarble explained.
“Although this model’s detection limit is too low by today’s standards.
It still needs some improvements.”
“It can measure Power Levels?” Trunks’ eyes lit up with excitement.
He reached for it, then hesitated and looked at Bulma for permission.
Bulma smiled, “Since it’s a gift from your uncle, go ahead and accept it.
I can upgrade it later.”
Then she added, “Aren’t you going to thank Uncle Tarble?”
Trunks immediately accepted the scouter.
“Thank you, Uncle Tarble!”
Seeing his friend receive a gift, Goten couldn’t help feeling a little envious.
“Uncle Tarble…
um…
I want a scouter too.”
The moment he finished speaking, he remembered Chi-Chi’s teachings about not asking other people for gifts.
His little face immediately turned embarrassed.
He lowered his head and nervously tugged at his pants with both hands.
Pretending not to understand, Tarble asked, “And who might this little guy be?”
Gohan walked over with an apologetic smile.
“Sorry, Uncle Tarble.
This is my younger brother, Goten.
We’re both the sons of my father, Son Goku, also known as Kakarot.”
Then Gohan gently but firmly turned to Goten.
“Goten, you shouldn’t ask people for gifts on your own.
That’s very impolite.”
Goten poked his fingers together and quietly lowered his head.
“Sorry, Big Brother.
I forgot.”
Seeing the little boy looking so dejected, Bulma immediately stepped in, “Gohan, don’t scold Goten.
I’ll make another scouter later and give it to him.”
“How could I ask you to do that?” Gohan replied awkwardly.
“It’s settled.”
At that moment, she noticed several large craters in the distance.
“Hey, why are there so many craters over there?
Tarble, didn’t you two arrive by yourselves?”
Tarble briefly explained what had happened.
Bulma nodded in understanding, “So that’s what happened.
Well then, since everything’s settled, let’s head home.”
She looked at everyone with a cheerful smile.
“Gohan, Krillin, why don’t you both come over tonight?
We’re having a get-together at our house.
Vegeta and Tarble have finally reunited as brothers.
We should celebrate.”
Vegeta immediately objected with a cold expression, “Bulma, don’t waste time on something so pointless.”
Bulma instantly put her hands on her hips, “Vegeta!
It’s bad enough that you never told me you had a brother all these years.
Now you’re saying I can’t even throw Tarble a welcome party?”
Vegeta let out a proud snort and wisely chose to remain silent.
He knew better than to argue with Bulma.
Even if there were ten Vegetas, he still wouldn’t win.
More importantly, he loved her deeply.
How could he seriously argue with the woman he loved?
Their arguments were nothing more than playful bickering.
Besides, he already felt guilty toward Tarble, so he decided to let Bulma handle everything.
The only thing he disliked was the thought of spending time with Yamcha and the others.
Seeing him back down so quickly, Bulma rolled her eyes helplessly.
She then turned toward the others.
“Gohan, Piccolo, Krillin, Tien Shinhan, Yamcha, Chiaotzu, you’ll all come too, right?”
Faced with such a warm invitation, everyone gladly agreed.
“Great!” Bulma said happily.
Then she suddenly remembered something and looked at Gohan.
“Gohan, is your dad home?
Don’t tell me he ran off to train again.”
Gohan scratched the back of his head sheepishly, “Aunt Bulma, Dad really did go to train with King Kai again.
He probably won’t be able to come since there’s no way to contact him.”
