In a short while, a figure walked in from outside.
“Where’s that purple-haired kid?”
Upon hearing this voice, everyone immediately knew that it was Lin Chen who had arrived.
Sure enough, not long after, Lin Chen was seen pushing the door open and entering.
When he saw the purple-haired youth in front of him, who was indeed Trunks he knows of, Lin Chen couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment, almost blurting out his name.
Fortunately, at that moment, Lin Chen noticed Vegeta and Bulma, who were also present, and immediately stopped himself.
If he exposed Trunks’ identity and caused the Trunks of this world to disappear, it would be a great sin.
“Hello, Mr. Lin Chen!”
Upon seeing Lin Chen, Trunks turned around and nodded politely, but there was hesitation in his movements.
“Hello…” Lin Chen greeted and said, “You must have something to say to me, right? How about we talk in the garden outside?”
“Huh? Oh, okay!” Trunks hesitated for a moment and then nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, Lin Chen led him out of the room and went to the garden outside, avoiding the others.
After confirming that apart from Piccolo, who has super hearing, the others probably couldn’t hear them, Lin Chen asked, “Alright, now that we’re here, you can say whatever you want, and you don’t have to worry about Vegeta and Bulma overhearing.”
“Huh?” The purple-haired youth was taken aback and said somewhat awkwardly, “Mr. Lin Chen, what do you mean?”
“Hehe, do I need to make it clear?” Lin Chen smiled and said, “Just tell me your reason for coming, Mr. Trunks.”
Trunks trembled, not expecting his name to be called out by someone.
Even though it had been so long, he had kept it a secret from everyone, including his own parents.
How did this man, whom he had just met, know his name?
Trunks was immediately filled with confusion about this King of Saiyans, whom he had no recollection of in his memories.
Who was he, really?
Seeing Trunks standing in daze, Lin Chen smiled and said, “Let me introduce myself first. I’m Lin Chen, and my Saiyan name is Links. I am currently the King of Saiyans of Planet Vegeta. And you? Trunks?”
Lin Chen’s gaze had been scrutinizing the other person.
From his appearance, the Trunks in front of him looked exactly like the one in his memories. However, there were a few subtle details about him that made Lin Chen start to doubt whether this Trunks was from the parallel universe in the original work.
Especially his old-fashioned Saiyan battle armor, which was completely mismatched.
In the original work, when Trunks first appeared, he was wearing the jacket of the Capsule Corporation, completely dressed like an Earthling.
But the Trunks standing before Lin Chen now, aside from the purple hair, was a complete Saiyan through and through.
Trunks was still puzzled and said to the mysterious Lin Chen, “Mr. Lin Chen, why do you know my name?”
Lin Chen chuckled inwardly and said, “Why do I know you… The reason is simple, because I can travel through time, traversing between various parallel worlds. In one of those worlds, I’ve encountered you before.”
Upon hearing this, Trunks was immediately stunned.
And Piccolo, who was in the room nearby, was also shocked in his heart: How could this Lin Chen be so powerful? Time travel is something even the gods can’t do!
His lips trembling, Trunks asked excitedly, “Mr. Lin Chen, when you say parallel worlds, what do you mean?”
“It means exactly what I said. I know you’re Bulma’s child. Hasn’t she ever mentioned the concept of parallel universes to you?”
“You even know who my mom is?” Trunks took a deep breath. “Yes, she did mention it. In fact, Mom suspected from the beginning that her machine might not be a time machine, but a device that travels to different timelines. It turns out her suspicion was true! This isn’t the world I’m familiar with…”
While Trunks muttered to himself, Lin Chen didn’t interrupt but instead turned his head slightly and gave a faint smile to Piccolo in the distance.
Through the window, Piccolo suddenly shuddered and lowered his head guiltily.
“Mr. Lin Chen…”
At this moment, Trunks finally snapped out of his thoughts.
And the first words he spoke made Lin Chen squint his eyes.
“Then I’ll tell the truth. I am indeed called Trunks, and I come from a future that is twenty years from now… Of course, I now understand that our worlds have no connection at all; they are completely different parallel universes.”
“And in my world, my identity is Saiyan Prince, son of the former King of Saiyans, Vegeta!”
Saiyan Prince, the former King of Saiyans Vegeta?
Lin Chen was somewhat confused. This seemed different from what he knew. When did Vegeta become King of Saiyans?
Sure enough, this Trunks was different from the future Trunks he knew.
“Trunks, you say you’re the son of Vegeta, the King of Saiyans… But as far as I know, in both my world and the parallel worlds I’ve visited, Vegeta has never been the King of Saiyans for a single day… What’s the story with your world? Can you explain it first?”
“Of course.” Trunks nodded. “Speaking of which, Mr. Lin Chen, while I was waiting for you just now, I already asked my father about the history of Saiyans in this world. Actually, when we compare the histories of our two worlds, there are quite a few similarities…”
“Perhaps it’s because of this reason that I ended up crossing over to your world?”
As Trunks described the history of his world, even the experienced Lin Chen couldn’t help but marvel at the wonders of the world.
The Dragon Ball world that Trunks came from was truly a world extremely similar to Lin Chen’s world.
In Trunks’ world, the Saiyan homeworld, Planet Vegeta, had also not been destroyed by Frieza!
The history of this world began before Trunks was even born when Vegeta was still just a child.
According to Trunks, in their world, when Frieza planned to destroy Planet Vegeta, although there was no Lin Chen, there was a Saiyan who stood up for Planet Vegeta.
It was this person who did what Lin Chen originally did in Lin Chen’s world, thus saving the entire Saiyan race and rescuing Planet Vegeta that should have been destroyed.
And this person is currently serving as Lin Chen’s right-hand man, Bardock.
