I knew I had made a mistake when I pulled out the pistol. I wanted to talk to Nam so that I could resolve this mess without him having to engage in a fight.
The Nam's follow up attack was easily blocked. But then comes another one which contains even more power.
I got bruised. Even though I blocked his attack?
I was shocked but I knew I could not fail and tried to counterattack with a kick to the stomach that he blocked by positioning his hands in the "X" Position.
"That Uncle is powerful. He is keeping up with Big Brother Nam." Dabu commented.
His words caused the other villagers to look at our scuffle.
I was a little distracted by the boy's words because anyone with an eye can see that I am clearly the younger-looking one out of the two but was still labelled as an uncle.
Nam then slapped me on the left side of my face and caused me to fall to the ground.
Nam then jumped upwards into the sky.
"How did he even do that? That is not something that a normal human who can't use ki could do." I said as I looked at Nam who was now in the air preparing for his final attack.
I would have tried to counterattack if I had the ability but knowing my limitations I decided to avoid the attack.
Because of that Nam crushed into the ground at a high speed.
"You are lucky," Nam said to me.
Despite just crashing into the ground Nam got up immediately without any visible injuries.
However, I know that it is only in appearance since I can see that Nam's walking posture is a little wary.
Despite pretending like nothing happened I knew that he suffered some damage from the fall.
It's not noticeable but it is something that could still be found out under careful observation.
"Let's stop our fight. I am not here for a fight. I am not even aware of this place before I arrive here." I said to Nam.
He does not seem to believe my words.
"If you were in my shoes do you think you would try to make trouble in a poor village like this?"
When the villagers heard my words they seemed to be bothered by my words.
But they didn't say anything back since what I said was true.
They would not be able to refute it without being looked at like an idiot.
"Hmm. What is a fly doing here?" I said as I swiped away a small fly that flew near me.
I didn't know it at that time but it was a sign that I was being monitored by a very dangerous individual from the red ribbon army as a potential candidate for an important project.
*****
At the Lab hidden away in a cave near the surface made entirely out of ice.
"I was pissed at Red for giving away my son's code name to a newcomer. But it seems like this isn't as bad as I thought."
An old man said. He was the man called Dr Gero.
A high-ranking member of the Red Ribbon Army and the head of the science division.
"He is fairly strong. He is also a member of the army. His father also served in the army and even died for it." Gero muttered.
"He should have some loyalty for the army. My latest creations still do not show signs of absolute loyalty to me." He said while sighing.
He then looked at the glass tube that contained human-like beings inside it.
14, 15 are such wastes. And I thought 13 could serve as my new body but there was a problem with the energy source and I couldn't seems to finish it. But it seems like I have to continue researching to be able to find a perfect body that could help the army dominate the world. The old man thought in his mind.
"If only I had Vomi's help I could finish all my work but she has been missing since after Gevo died. I don't even know what she is doing even though the army is relentlessly searching for her."
He then looked at the monitor that was displaying Kei's face.
If I could recruit him into my android project as a test subject I could obtain a powerful loyal follower who would follow my commands even without having to implant bombs into the body. The old man thought in his mind.
He knows Kei is now a member who seems like he is loyal to the army but he believes that the weakness of the human body would stop the loyal followers of the army from accomplishing great things.
In his twisted mind, the only thing that mattered was the success of the army. And he believed that the other members of the army shared his same mindset.
So in his mind, there was no conceivable way that Kei would reject his offer.
"I need to go back to the army's base and get that kid under my command." He said as he got up.
*****
On a faraway island.
"Haaaa." The monkey boy punched a giant rock with his fist.
A huge crack appeared on the rocks before it was broken into smaller pieces.
"You broke that giant rock with just a single punch." A bald boy said to the Monkey boy.
"That kid. In such a short time He is becoming even stronger than I expected." A bald old man with a white beard called Roshi said.
"Kame-sennin. Can you also do things like that?" The bald kid asked.
"Of course I can. If you train hard enough you will also be able to do that." Roshi replied to the kid.
But still Gohan'd grandkid is progressing at a rate that should not be possible for normal humans. Is he really a human? Roshi thought in his mind as he looked at the monkey body.
