After getting permission from Lin Chen, Dr. Gero’s face was filled with joy.
For a researcher, there’s nothing more satisfying than having their research recognized.
With that, Dr. Gero prepared to go back and arrange for the expansion of the production line.
However, at this moment, Lin Chen stopped him.
“Dr. Gero, how’s your Alien Android coming along? Are you still researching it?”
“Hmm?” Dr. Gero was surprised.
“Yes, the research is still ongoing. There were many interesting corpses left behind when the Cooler Force attacked Earth. Is there a problem, Your Majesty?”
Lin Chen shook his head. “No, I was just asking.”
Dr. Gero then said, “Your Majesty, then I’ll take my leave.”
“Alright.”
Dr. Gero then bid farewell to Lin Chen and the others.
However, just as he was about to leave the conference hall, Dr. Gero’s gaze suddenly fell on a blond woman outside.
It was Lazuli, who had heard about Dr. Gero’s arrival and had come to see what was going on.
When Dr. Gero discovered Lazuli, she also noticed him.
Their gazes met for an instant.
Lazuli looked at Dr. Gero with interest, thinking that this world’s Dr. Gero looked much younger than she remembered.
Lazuli didn’t know that this was because Dr. Gero of this world had eaten Tree of Might’s fruit.
“Hmm?”
Suddenly, Lazuli noticed something strange.
As she looked at Dr. Gero, he was also staring at her with widened eyes, a shocked expression on his face.
Lazuli found it strange because this was the first time she had met him in this world. According to Lin Chen, Dr. Gero of this world had not created any human-modified Android since leaving Earth.
Therefore, it was impossible for there to be any connection between her and Dr. Gero.
If that’s the case, why did Dr. Gero seem to recognize her?
“Do we know each other?” Lazuli asked curiously.
“N-no!” Dr. Gero shook his head. “Are you a human?”
“I guess so,” Lazuli smiled.
At this time, Lin Chen’s voice came from behind them. “Dr. Gero, this is Lazuli, my friend.”
Lin Chen walked over with a smile and asked, “Is there a problem, Doctor?”
“No, I was just curious. Besides Tights, I didn’t know there were other humans on Planet Vegeta…” Dr. Gero trailed off with a chuckle, then bid farewell to Lin Chen and left in a hurry.
Watching his hastily retreating figure, Lin Chen asked, “What’s wrong with him?”
“It’s nothing.” Lazuli shook her head and recounted their conversation.
After hearing it, Lin Chen narrowed his eyes.
“Paragus?”
“Yes!” Paragus hurried over. “Your Majesty?”
“Do you have any recent updates on Dr. Gero’s surveillance?” Lin Chen ignored Lazuli and asked directly.
“No, everything seems to be normal with Dr. Gero. Apart from the last time he visited Earth, he has been in the laboratory all the time. Even when he was on Earth, we had him under surveillance and didn’t notice anything unusual.”
“I understand, continue to keep an eye on him,” Hearing that, Lin Chen waved his hand to signal Paragus to leave.
It seems like he was just being paranoid.
It’s not that he had any prejudice against Dr. Gero, but this guy did cause a lot of trouble in another world. No matter how much Lin Chen trusts him, he has no choice but to be on guard against him.
Especially considering that the number of Androids on Planet Vegeta will increase significantly in the near future, it is necessary to increase vigilance against Dr. Gero, both for personal and public safety reasons.
However, Lin Chen and others didn’t expect that as Dr. Gero hastily left, he was repeatedly exclaiming in his mind on the way back.
“What’s going on? What the hell is going on? Why did she appear by Lin Chen’s side?”
Cold sweat dripped down Dr. Gero’s face. At that moment, he almost thought that his secret had been discovered.
But after calming down, Dr. Gero quickly realized that there was something off.
The woman in question seemed to be someone other than the one he knew.
However, this incident also reminded Dr. Gero that he should pay more attention and prepare an escape route for himself.
…
Meanwhile, in the faraway and the depths of the East Area, a heavily damaged spaceship flew into an area covered by nebulae.
This nebula was full of spaceship debris, like a graveyard for spaceships.
The spaceship cautiously navigated through the wreckage, and in the cockpit, several aliens stared nervously, their eyes wide open.
“Are we there yet?” a lizard-like alien patted his companion, who was responsible for piloting the ship.
The other person answered in a rage, “I told you not to touch me! This place is dangerous. If not careful, we could all die here!”
The lizard-like alien swallowed his saliva and said, “I…I just wanted to know how much longer we have to fly.”
“We’ve been flying for months. Can’t you wait a little longer?”
“I-I’m sorry…”
At this moment, the eyes of the alien piloting the complex spaceship suddenly widened and he exclaimed, “Look! Is that the one His Majesty instructed us to find?”
The people in the cockpit immediately stood up and gathered around the porthole.
In the dark space, a silver behemoth slowly revealed its true appearance from the darkness.
“Wow!”
Everyone took a deep breath, shocked by the terrifying object in front of them.
After a moment of stunned silence, the alien who was piloting the ship suddenly remembered something and pressed a switch on the console in front of him.
“Is this our destination, Your majesty?”
Beep~!
At the back of the cockpit, a cultivation tank suddenly emerged from the wall.
Inside the tank, a head soaked in nutrient solution suddenly opened its eyes.
A sinister and terrifying voice then transmitted to everyone through the ship’s speakers.
“Yes, that’s it! Send me in there immediately!”
“Yes!”
Looking at the spaceship gradually nearing the silver metal object, the head in the solution suddenly laughed.
The smile on its face was like it came from the depths of hell, sending shivers down people’s spines.
“Saiyans! Our story isn’t over yet! Just wait! I, Cooler, will return! I swear!”
Suddenly, the head burst into maniacal laughter.
And in the midst of this laughter, the spaceship began to land on the huge metal object, the spaceship’s light illuminating the surface of this massive object. What appeared before everyone’s eyes was a gigantic metal planet!
This planet was none other than the Big Gete Star, a demonic star that had once caused massive panic in the universe, which Cooler had discovered in the database of Planet Ifrit years ago.
