A month's time may seem long and short at the same time. For Raditz, enjoying a slice of life on Earth is just perfect.

These days, he has grown accustomed to life on Earth. Looking up, the gentle sunlight casts a beautiful glow over the Earth. People meet under the blue sky while white clouds float effortlessly above. The city is adorned with towering buildings, and the air is filled with a sense of style.

On the wide road, vehicles fill the bustling streets. Raditz leans against the door with one hand and grips the steering wheel with the other, driving slowly through the busy traffic.

"Why isn't the car in front moving?" Goku impatiently taps his fingers on the armrest.

"Haha, Goku, this is what we call rush hour in the big city. Whether it's the latest flying car or an ordinary car, they all get stuck here," Raditz responds from the driver's seat. "No movement means we're just waiting for the traffic to clear."

Krillin and Yamcha, sitting in the back, laugh along. "Haha, Goku, you still don't have a driver's license and haven't been on the streets for a while," Krillin teases.

"Hey, Krillin, you can drive?" Goku is surprised to hear that Yamcha is an experienced driver, but he didn't expect Krillin to also laugh.

"Hey, I learned before you brother here came to earth." Krillin proudly displays his driver's license. "Look, Goku, who would have thought?"

"Shouldn't we just fly to our destination directly?" Raditz asks, giving Goku a disapproving look. "Driving a car is a pleasure! Besides, constantly flying around can have negative effects."

Goku scratches his head, partially understanding Raditz's point.

"Are you really not allowed to come out and play, Gohan?" Goku asks.

"Dad, mom doesn't let me, so I have no choice," Gohan replies.

"Hasn't Gohan had any chance to go out and have fun lately?" Krillin imagines the scene and smirks.

Raditz can't help but laugh. Since he returned, he has been living at Goku's house. The first time he met Goku's brother, Gohan, he was astounded by Chi-Chi's strictness. However, Chi-Chi prepared a hearty meal to welcome him. Goku and Gohan would train for eight hours every day, followed by some farm work and odd jobs. During weekdays, the once carefree Goku has become diligent, all thanks to Raditz's influence. Chi-Chi is really grateful to Raditz for this and appreciates him being a good influence on her son.

However, Gohan has been having a tough time. After a year of schooling, Chi-Chi insisted that he focus more on his studies. The workload is even more staggering than Raditz could have imagined. With Chi-Chi's stern presence, no one in the family dares to argue.

"Look at this situation. This road is completely blocked. Should we still use the car, or should we just fly?" Yamcha, bored near the door, yawns.

At 7 o'clock in the morning, they had breakfast. Raditz drove Bulma's newly purchased flying sports car and entered the busiest business district in West City. However... they couldn't get off the car.

Raditz shrugs, saying, "No other option."

The group gets out of the car and places it into a capsule, attracting curious gazes from onlookers. Raditz and the others look around, puzzled by the actions of the people nearby.

In the next moment, everyone's eyes widen in surprise. They witness four people and 1 kid flying directly into the sky!

"Am I dreaming?"

"I don't know...?"

"Hey, did you see that? They can fly!"

"Damn, why didn't you capture it on video?"

After a brief moment of silence, a heated discussion ensues among the crowd. Many people rub their eyes and thighs, thinking they must be daydreaming...

As the five individuals soar through the air, they encounter no obstacles and make their way effortlessly.

Down below, the traffic remains congested. At a nearby intersection, vehicles are scattered in disarray, and the police are shouting while guns are fired. On the other side, near a bank, several individuals with machine guns engage in a firefight with the police.

"Oh, here we go," Raditz thinks to himself. It's time for the Son family to showcase their strength. Goku immediately jumps down, followed by Krillin and Yamcha.

Gohan waits at the side for them to finish.

Raditz shakes his head and descends gracefully.

The four land, and Goku shouts, "Stop right there!" signaling his intention to intervene in the shootout.

"What do these idiots think they're doing? Are they looking for death? Hahahaha!" the gang leader laughs maniacally.

The police cease fire immediately, concerned about innocent bystanders. The gangsters, however, view Goku and the others as their prey and laugh viciously.

"Hey," Raditz smirks, extending his hand and catching the bullets effortlessly.

In an instant, he grabs over a dozen bullets, rendering them useless. Goku, Krillin, and Yamcha also catch the bullets fired by the gangsters, letting them fall harmlessly to the ground.

While these actions may seem ordinary to them, onlookers are stunned. They can't believe that ordinary people can catch bullets! The gangsters are left dumbfounded.

"Keep going!" the boss angrily shouts.

The gangsters continue to shoot, aiming to unload all their bullets. Yet, the four heroes leisurely move forward, unaffected by the onslaught.

Yamcha and Krillin's casual attire adds a touch of charm as their clothes flutter gracefully. Onlookers, especially beautiful girls, are captivated and exclaim in awe.

The policemen are stunned by the scene, watching the four individuals with disbelief. The crowd is in an uproar, expressing their exaggerated shock and surprise.

At that moment, the gang leader retrieves a rocket launcher from the car, aiming it at Raditz. "Haha, I still have this weapon! Go to hell!"

Observing the boss using a rocket launcher, the gangsters become even more confident, thinking they have the upper hand. They believe their bullets can penetrate any armor. Raditz smirks, provoking them.

"You!" The boss is furious. As the leader of the gang, he can't allow himself to be challenged like this. Filled with anger, he fires a rocket, his face contorted with rage.

In an instant, Raditz's eyes flash, and an astonishing aura envelops him. A white energy shrouds his body, creating ripples that spread in all directions as his power surges.

Before the rocket can reach Raditz, it disintegrates and explodes within the surging energy!

Goku springs into action, delivering a series of punches and kicks that bring down the gangsters. He reaches the car and punches the door. The old man inside, witnessing the scene, is overcome with fear. His nose drips and his throat tightens as he surrenders, raising his hands.

"This can't be a human!"

The old man cautiously steps out of the car and exclaims, "I surrender! I surrender! Police, please don't let them hurt me!"

The policemen: "..."

"Let's go!"

The four quickly depart, paying no heed to the shouts of the police and the onlookers. Gohan quickly joins them. From that day on, four legends of unknown heroes emerge in the West...

Raditz heads to the mall to purchase some Earth clothing, as he doesn't want to go out wearing his battle suit. He also helps Goku pick out an outfit and buys a gift for Chi-Chi. Krillin and Yamcha also make their own purchases. Everyone enjoys a lively conversation, and Raditz feels a sense of camaraderie. They laugh, almost forgetting about the impending powerful enemy they are about to face.

Meanwhile, at home, Bulma lies asleep on the examination bed. A month ago, Raditz had asked her to enhance the upper limit and accuracy of her measurements, and the project is now nearing completion.

Raditz's scouter sits nearby, its screen displaying a number that flashes boldly: 20,000.
