Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 535 On his first day out of prison, he will start working in District 13.

"However, what is certain is that the other party is neither a demon nor some evil creature. Otherwise, the air magic would have had no effect at all."

Dad said.

“But Father, I saw with my own eyes the other person walk out of the gates of hell that I opened.”

Jackie Chan said.

"Ah, Uncle Long, did you open the gates of hell?"

Xiaoyu asked in surprise, and Tru and his father also stared at him with wide eyes.

"No~"

Jackie Chan quickly covered his mouth, but he had already let it slip, and now he could only try to save face.

"It was an accident. I stole the Pangu Box from the Black Hand Gang and hid in the laundry room, but who knew there would be a hidden Gate to Hell inside. After I entered, the Pangu Box started moving on its own. I swear, I did my best to stop it, but I failed."

"So, he really came from hell?"

Xiaoyu pointed to the boy standing there motionless and asked.

"Yes, I can guarantee that."

Jackie Chan nodded.

"Cool, boy who came out of hell!"

Xiaoyu was astonished. Seeing his niece's expression, Jackie Chan knew something was wrong.

Most middle school students are rebellious and seek to be different.

Clearly, Broly's unusual origins had piqued his niece's curiosity.

"Xiaoyu, your father has said that you can't believe the words of a demon."

Jackie Chan started to educate his niece, hoping she could behave herself and stay away from strange supernatural events or people.

“Dad, that’s what I did say, but the other party isn’t a demon, so we can probably believe what he says.”

Unfortunately, her father, standing beside her, contradicted her.

"Dad, is it possible that you're mistaken?"

Jackie Chan hoped his father wouldn't say anything that would undermine him, but instead, his father chopped him on the forehead.

"Dad just wears reading glasses, he's not blind. Do you think Dad wouldn't know if I saw it correctly?"

"But we fought with him."

Jackie Chan rubbed his forehead and said.

"So, how exactly did you two start fighting?"

With his arms crossed in front of him, the old man figured that since they had been arguing for so long while the boy had just watched without rushing over to attack, he was pretty sure the other party probably didn't mean any harm. So, he was now curious about how Jackie Chan had ended up fighting with the other party.

"This..." Jackie Chan recalled the reason for the fight, then put his hands on his hips and looked at his niece, "Xiaoyu!"

"Uh, I admit I was a bit impulsive, and I can apologize."

Xiaoyu also realized the reason for the fight, and with a somewhat embarrassed expression, she apologized to her Uncle Long. The reason for the fight was that she had taken the initiative to attack the boy on the other side, while the boy who came out of hell was just passively retaliating.

"I'll talk to you about this properly when we get home."

Jackie Chan has a somewhat motherly personality, but when it comes to his children's education, he never resorts to scolding. If Jade makes a mistake, scolding his niece is definitely not his first option; instead, he steps in and teaches her to take responsibility.

"I am very sorry, my niece Xiaoyu was too impulsive. I apologize for her sudden attack on you just now."

Jackie Chan stepped forward and spoke to the boy who had an exaggerated fighting ability and looked very dangerous.

"I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry."

When Xiaoyu saw her Uncle Long apologizing to someone else because of her, she quickly followed suit, bowed her head, and apologized to Broly as well.

The biggest difference between Xiaoyu now and the Xiaoyu when she first arrived is that she has learned the sense of responsibility that her uncle Jackie Chan taught her.

Don't expect others to cover for the mess you made; if you're capable, you should handle it yourself.

"It's okay, I don't care about your attacks on me. In fact, I've experienced this kind of thing quite a lot, and I'm used to it."

Being attacked by the girl you've just met isn't exactly uncommon, and Broly readily accepted her apology.

"Um, could you please return the talisman to us? It's not ours; we borrowed it from somewhere else, and we have to return it after we're done using it."

Jackie Chan asked in a consultative tone, expressing his embarrassment that he had to apologize for losing the fight and even wanted the spoils of war returned, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Broly looked at the rabbit and ox talisman in his hand and noticed something rather peculiar. It seemed that when he had this thing, it wasn't treated as a target for conquest, but rather like an inanimate object.

After thinking for a moment, Broly tossed one of the talismans to Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan was surprised that the boy returned the talisman so easily. He was a little flustered and missed the talisman twice in the air before finally catching it firmly on the third try, just before it was about to hit the ground.

"Oh, thank you so much."

Jackie Chan thanked him, while Broly looked at the Crystal Palace panel but did not find any targets for the Ox Talisman.

"There's one more talisman, Xiaoyu, you take it."

Broly tossed the rabbit charm over again, and Jade caught it instantly.

"Hey, how did you know my name?"

However, the girl found this matter somewhat strange.

"Isn't that what they all call you?"

Broly shrugged, and the Crystal Palace panel already displayed "[Rabbit Talisman, Happiness Value 7 (Cheng Xiaoyu)]". (Broly cannot see the part in parentheses; it's for the readers.)

"Now that there are no more demons for Dad to deal with here, it's time for Dad to go back. Jackie Chan, do you want to ride the Tru Express back with us?"

The old man asked.

"Sir, didn't you say we shouldn't use the power of talismans indiscriminately? Shouldn't we take some normal transportation back?"

Tru was curious and asked directly.

“There’s no one watching over Dad’s antique shop right now. What if a customer comes in or a thief breaks in? The power of the talisman shouldn’t be used recklessly, but this is an emergency!”

My father spoke these words very seriously, and his reasoning was so sound that no one could refute them.

“I don’t think I can escape from prison. I have to deal with this fake criminal identity.”

"Dad, I want to stay and keep Uncle Long company, is that okay?"

"No, this is a prison, it will corrupt you."

In response, both the father and Jackie Chan said the same thing. It's not surprising that the father, upon hearing that Jackie Chan was in prison, instinctively thought he was a fraud.

"Fine, you guys decide."

Xiaoyu crossed her arms, pretending she wanted to stay with her uncle, but her real intention was to explore the secrets of Broly, the boy from hell.

"Wait a minute, can I come with you?"

Just as Big Tru was about to run back to San Francisco with his father and Jade, Broly asked a question.

"what?!"

Several people opposite him looked at him at the same time.

"I just came out of hell and I don't know anyone in this world. I have nowhere to go for the time being."

Broly offered an explanation.

"Hey, of course."

Upon hearing this, Xiaoyu was somewhat excited, but after her father and Jackie Chan looked over, she immediately realized what was going on.

“Uh, Dad, Uncle Long, what I mean is, we can’t just stand by and do nothing about people who need help.”

Xiaoyu flashed a bright white smile, a smile that was somewhat awkward yet polite.

"Yes, I know about your situation. I can help you as an apology to Xiaoyu for attacking you."

However, the antique shop is already occupied by Tru, and there are no extra rooms available for you. I think Jackie Chan will find a way.

"Right, Jackie Chan?" The old man looked at Jackie Chan.

"Huh? I have a way?"

Jackie Chan looked somewhat bewildered, but when Broly looked over, he still put his hand in front of his mouth and coughed lightly twice.

“Uh, yes, but I need to get in touch with Sheriff Black before I can find a solution. Broly, your identity is very special. I believe that once Sheriff Black knows this, he will definitely be willing to help you.”

Jackie Chan said with great confidence.

"Do you need a ride? You can sit on my shoulders."

Tru said that there was still room on his broad shoulders, enough for two small children to sit.

"No need, I can walk by myself."

Broly shook his head in refusal.

"Tru can use the Rabbit Talisman; he'll be incredibly fast."

Xiaoyu reminded her.

"But not as fast as me, right?"

"Uh, that seems to be the case, but he will also use the chicken talisman. At that time, we will fly up into the sky."

Xiaoyu said again.

"Don't worry, I can fly too."

Broly floated up.

"Wow, you can fly without using any spells? How did you do that?"

Xiaoyu's eyes widened, and she asked the question.

"This is the power of Qi."

"Is it air magic?"

"It's qi (vital energy)."

Broly returned to San Francisco with his father and the others. When they arrived at the antique shop, Tru poured him a cup of tea, while Jade brought out her favorite snacks.

"Although Uncle Long has told us about your origins, it's not detailed enough. Could I ask you for more detailed information? I happen to have a school assignment that requires me to observe a certain creature and write an observation report. I think you, who came out of hell, would be a great subject for observation."

"Xiaoyu, don't write about other people as beetles or frogs in your schoolwork. Besides, normal people don't believe in places like hell."

"I understand, Dad, but I should be able to make a friend who isn't a demon, but comes from hell, right?"

The old man looked at Xiaoyu, then at Broly, and said to the big disciple beside him, "Tru, I'm a little tired and want to rest. You take good care of the guests for me."

"Ok."

Tru nodded, and his father went back to his room to catch up on his sleep.

Without adult supervision, Truco couldn't control Xiaoyu.

Xiaoyu began to unleash her curiosity, pulling Broly to a chair and starting to ask him all sorts of questions.

"Hey, so you're not from hell, but an alien?!"

"They are not aliens, but people from another world."

"Isn't this even cooler?!"

Seeing that the two children were getting along well, Tru started cleaning, which was his daily work at the antique shop.

"Broly, did you come into this world because you have something very important to do?"

Xiaoyu asked with great interest, and at her age, she did indeed pursue being different, believing that a person with an extraordinary identity must have an extraordinary mission.

"Ah."

Broly nodded; finding a wife was indeed a very important matter.

"Don't tell me yet, let me guess. Hmm, is it because your home planet is about to be destroyed, and you came to our world to find a place suitable for your race to live, but you made a small mistake on your way here, so you ended up in hell?"

Xiaoyu is good at filling in the blanks; in a short time, she came up with a reason why Broly came into this world.

"No, my home planet is safe. Although it did face a near-destruction crisis before, I have resolved it."

"Wow, so you're a savior?"

"You can say that."

Xiaoyu was very interested in this topic. Just as she was about to ask more in-depth questions about what the crisis was and how the boy saved his world, the landline in the antique shop rang. It was Jackie Chan calling.

“Xiaoyu, I have contacted Sheriff Black, but it seems he has been temporarily placed on leave due to psychological issues.”

He heard about Broly and hopes you can take him to District 13 to find him.

Of course, don't forget to return the talisman you borrowed from District 13.

Jackie Chan gave these instructions over the phone.

"Understood, Uncle Long. I'll take Broly there right away and return the borrowed talisman."

Xiaoyu stood on a stool, answering the phone with one hand and saluting with the other.

"Broly, come with me."

"Where?"

"Go and meet with someone who can help you."

After putting on her shoes, Xiaoyu called out into the house, "True, I'm taking Broly to District 13 to see Sheriff Black. If Dad wakes up from his nap, tell him."

"Xiaoyu, I'll go with you..."

Before Tru could finish speaking, Jade took Broly and ran out.

On the way, Broly asked what District Thirteen was, because the talisman sounded like it belonged to them.

"What is District 13? Uh, District 13 is a super-spy organization that frequently fights demons!"

Of course, Jade's misunderstanding of District 13 makes her explanation seem somewhat fantastical. District 13 is originally meant to deal with international criminal organizations, but things become somewhat fantastical after it goes against Valmont and brings Jackie Chan into the picture.

Demons, ninjas, dragons, and the like.

"Okay, we're here."

With the power of the Rabbit Talisman, Jade quickly brought Broly to the entrance of District 13, to a phone booth.

"Is the District 13 you mentioned underground?"

Broly pointed to the ground, where he could sense a considerable amount of energy.

"Hey, you actually knew that."

"How are we going to get down? Should we drill through the ground?"

"No, we'll take the stairs. Of course, if you'd like, we can also take the elevator in front of us; this phone booth is a hidden elevator."

Xiaoyu went in first and beckoned Broly in. As the phone booth was dialed, they were suddenly pulled into an openable wall by a hidden track, plummeted, and the door opened, where Sheriff Black was already waiting for them.

“I’m Black. I’ve heard about you from Jackie Chan. Welcome to District 13.”

As Sheriff Black spoke, he extended his hand toward Broly.

"Broly".

Broly extended his hand and shook hands with the bald man in front of him.

“I heard you have nowhere to go, I think I can help you.”

How can you help me?

"I'll offer you accommodation, and if you don't refuse, there might be a good job too."

"That's what Sheriff Black said," he said, referring to the job of a special agent hired by District 13.
