Meeting Bulma

Hearing Goku's voice, Krillin hurried over, panting. "You're okay! That's such a relief! Where's Piccolo? He came too, right? And what about that other guy?"

Before Goku could answer, Krillin pointed at Cado, curiosity written all over his face. "And who's this?"

"Heh, I'll explain everything once everyone's here," Goku said with a grin.

Cado glanced at Krillin with a friendly smile, though his mind was elsewhere. He felt a bit guilty looking at Krillin, knowing what was coming in the future. After all, Android 18 was someone he had always admired. Since he was here now, there was no way he was going to let anyone else have her.

Just as Cado was lost in thought, Master Roshi and Bulma arrived. Seeing Goku safe, they both sighed in relief before turning their curious gazes toward Cado.

Cado smiled and gave them a polite nod.

"Wow, he's so handsome!" Bulma blurted out, unable to hide her admiration. Seeing Cado's bright, confident smile, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

"Alright, Goku, can you explain now?" Krillin nudged him.

After all, they had seen firsthand how dangerous Saiyans could be. If one was still lurking around, it would be a huge problem for them.

"Raditz is dead. The one who killed him was Cado here—and he did it in a single strike." Goku gestured toward Cado, his face full of excitement.

Everyone gasped in shock.

Master Roshi swallowed hard, staring at Cado in disbelief. He hadn't expected someone who looked so harmless to possess such overwhelming strength.

Goku then went on to describe the battle, explaining how he and Piccolo had struggled against Raditz before Cado arrived and took him down effortlessly.

When he finished, everyone turned to Cado again, their expressions filled with awe, as if they were looking at a monster.

"Mr. Cado, you're way too strong! Even Goku and Piccolo together couldn't handle Raditz, yet you defeated him instantly! How did you train to become this powerful?" Krillin asked excitedly, his tone full of respect.

"Huh? Train? Strength isn't something that just grows on its own?" Cado scratched his chin, genuinely confused.

And he wasn't lying. His power came from completing system-assigned tasks, not from conventional training. When he first arrived on Earth, the system had given him small missions like catching criminals or fighting dinosaurs. But as he grew stronger, the missions became less frequent.

"Uh… well…" Krillin looked awkward, not knowing how to respond.

Goku scratched his head, also confused. Was that how it worked? He had never experienced power increasing on its own before.

He turned to Master Roshi for guidance. "Master Roshi, what does Cado mean? I don't get it."

"Ah? Oh!" Master Roshi coughed and quickly composed himself. "Ahem, that's probably a matter of enlightenment. Those who understand it naturally do. You two just need to work harder!"

Cado was momentarily stunned before giving Master Roshi a thumbs-up, suppressing a laugh. "Wise words, old master!"

Master Roshi awkwardly stroked his beard, sweat forming on his bald head. He knew exactly what Cado was doing—showing off! And now he had to play along to save not to embarrass himself. Young people these days really had no sense of restraint!

"Mr. Cado, where do you live? We can take you home..." Bulma finally spoke up, unable to resist anymore.

She had been struggling to find a way to join the conversation. Facing such a strong and good-looking man, her heart was racing.

"Uh… I don't have a home. I haven't found a place to stay yet." Cado admitted with a sheepish smile.

"Yes!"

"Ahem—not that I'm happy about it or anything," Bulma quickly corrected herself, realizing she had spoken too soon.

Seeing Cado's surprised expression, she hurriedly explained, "What I mean is, if you don't have a place to stay, you can live at my house. It's huge!"

"Well, in that case, I'd be grateful." Cado said with a smile.

He had been struggling with living arrangements. Sleeping outdoors all the time wasn't exactly pleasant, and seeing how eager Bulma was, he saw no reason to refuse.

"No trouble at all!" Bulma waved her hands excitedly. She hadn't expected Cado to accept so easily and felt both surprised and thrilled.

She had assumed someone this powerful would be aloof, but he seemed friendly and easygoing. More importantly, she'd get to see him every day—maybe even get closer to him!

Since everything had been settled, the group boarded Bulma's aircraft and headed toward Capsule Corporation.

Inside the aircraft, Goku turned to Cado with a serious expression. "Cado, Raditz told me that I'm not from Earth. He said I'm a Saiyan. He also mentioned he had two comrades still out there. Is that true?"

He had been thinking about what Raditz said and figured Cado might know more.

Everyone in the aircraft perked up, eager to hear Cado's response.

Cado nodded. "That's right, Goku. You are a Saiyan. Your real name is Kakarot."

There was no need to hide it—this information wasn't a secret.

He then proceeded to explain everything he knew about the Saiyans, their history, and their connection to Frieza.

Goku lowered his head, looking at the sleeping Gohan in his arms. He felt a sense of loss.

Seeing Raditz's tail had already made him suspect he wasn't human. But deep down, he had been hoping it wasn't true.

Just as Goku was grappling with these thoughts, Cado dropped another bombshell.

"By the way, I should warn you all—those two Saiyans will be arriving on Earth in a year. And they're at least ten times stronger than Raditz."
