Hearing the System’s notification, Karan felt a surge of excitement.
His Super Saiyan 2 power already placed him at the top of the current era, and with the side-effect-free Tenfold Kaioken added on top, his strength would reach an even more terrifying level.
Looking across the universe, he was practically unrivaled.
“Excuse me…
may I know your name?”
A sweet and gentle voice interrupted Karan’s thoughts.
Android 18 slowly walked toward him on shaky legs.
Her beautiful face was slightly flushed, and her blue eyes were filled with gratitude and affection.
At this moment, she was breathtakingly beautiful.
“Karan.”
His expression remained calm as he casually answered.
However, he was secretly amused.
The usually cold and proud Android 18 had actually taken the initiative to approach him.
The System’s reward was truly incredible.
“Thank you for saving me, and thank you for saving Android 17 too.”
Android 18 bit her lips lightly, her voice carrying an unusually gentle tone.
Her heart was in complete chaos.
Normally, she would have simply thanked him and left.
But now, looking at Karan’s handsome face, she found herself unable to leave.
“No need to thank me.
Saving a beautiful woman is just basic manners for a man.”
Karan replied casually.
“Huh?”
Android 18 blinked in surprise.
She had expected him to take advantage of the situation or ask for something in return.
Yet Karan seemed completely indifferent.
Of course, Karan knew what he was doing.
Sometimes, acting too eager only made things worse.
The more relaxed he appeared, the more curious and interested Android 18 became.
“Alright, the monsters are gone, and you’re safe now.”
“I’m leaving.”
Karan smiled before turning around and launching into the sky.
Whoosh!
His figure quickly disappeared into the distance.
“He just left?”
Android 18 stood there in a daze.
For the first time in her life, frustration and unwillingness appeared in her heart.
The more she thought about it, the more determined she became.
“You jerk.”
“One day, I’ll make you pay attention to me.”
Android 18 clenched her fists and stared in the direction where Karan had vanished.
Afterward, she walked over to the unconscious Android 17.
Not far away, Trunks watched the Android siblings and briefly revealed a trace of killing intent.
However, he quickly suppressed it.
Karan had saved both Androids.
If he attacked them now, he would undoubtedly offend the mysterious Saiyan.
And provoking someone with that kind of strength was the last thing Trunks wanted to do.
Besides, Cell was dead.
The Androids no longer posed a threat.
The person who truly required caution was Karan himself.
Soon afterward, Android 18 helped Android 17 leave.
Krillin carried the heavily damaged Android 16 and hurried toward West City to ask Bulma for repairs.
A catastrophe that had nearly destroyed humanity had been completely reversed because of Karan’s appearance.
The only unhappy person present was Vegeta.
His face was twisted with frustration, and he nearly ground his teeth into powder.
One day later, at Kami’s Lookout, Goku and Gohan emerged from the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
Both father and son maintained the calm state of Full Power Super Saiyan.
Looking around, Goku frowned.
“That’s strange.
Why can’t I sense Cell at all?
Piccolo, what happened?”
Piccolo’s face darkened immediately.
“Cell was killed half a day ago.”
“Killed?”
Goku was stunned.
“It wasn’t Vegeta?”
“Vegeta?” Piccolo snorted.
“That idiot almost got everyone on Earth killed.”
Then he looked at Goku and Gohan.
“The person who killed Cell was a Saiyan named Karan.”
Vegeta isn’t even worth comparing to him.”
“And when he fought, he maintained the same calm Super Saiyan state you two have right now.”
“Karan?”
Goku scratched his head.
He had never heard that name before.
“Dad, no matter what, Cell’s gone.
That’s good news,” Gohan said with relief.
“You’re right!”
Goku’s eyes brightened immediately.
“But a super powerful Saiyan suddenly appearing out of nowhere?
I have to meet him!”
His Saiyan blood instantly boiled.
“Piccolo, do you know where he is?”
Piccolo shook his head.
“He has completely hidden his ki.
I can’t find him.”
“Alright.”
Goku smiled.
“Gohan, head home and spend some time with your mom.
I’ll go look for him.”
Placing two fingers on his forehead, Goku used Instant Transmission and vanished.
Gohan also departed shortly afterward.
Not long after they left, a bruised and battered Vegeta arrived at Kami’s Lookout.
Grinding his teeth in anger, he rushed straight into the Hyperbolic Time Chamber and began another round of brutal training.
Meanwhile, in West City, inside an upscale restaurant on a bustling commercial street, Karan sat by the window enjoying a table full of premium Wagyu beef.
Without even turning around, he cut off a piece of steak and smiled.
“You’ve been following me for half a day.”
“Aren’t you hungry?
Come over and eat something.”
“Tch, so I got caught after all.”
Hidden in the shadows, Android 18 frowned slightly and muttered to herself.
As an android, she possessed no ki.
Yet Karan had still noticed her.
Although she had been discovered, she obediently stepped out and sat down across from him.
