Dragon Ball: Saiyan's Gourmet Journey

Chapter 542 An Unexpected Ending: Filming Wraps Up for the Fantasy Action Blockbuster "Super Agent vs. Thunder Demon"!
"Excuse me, have you seen a demon, uh, I mean a monster in a suit, pass by here?"

Broly put Jackie Chan down on the ground, took the Polaroid camera from Jackie Chan's hand, and filmed Jackie Chan asking passersby about the whereabouts of China and the Soviet Union.

"You mean that huge guy that's really fast and makes the ground thump when it runs? That one was made so realistically..."

The passerby who was asked actually knew, and had a deep impression of the Sino-Soviet relationship.

"You're connected to that monster in a suit; that guy flipped my car over!"

At that moment, a middle-aged man walked over aggressively.

After Jackie Chan promised to compensate and gave her Sheriff Black's phone number, explaining that they needed to find the rampaging robot suit monster first, the middle-aged man who had suffered the loss finally gave her directions: "Your rampaging robot suit went in that direction."

"Let's go, Broly!"

Jackie Chan called out to the boy and then took the lead in chasing after him.

"Very good, very good. This is footage of Agent Uncle Long's investigation."

The spirit Xiaoyu floated beside her and nodded.

"But I know where Zhongsu is, why can't I just take him there?"

"If we go directly there, how can we turn the escaped demon into a super demon? Besides, we will also miss the footage of Uncle Long tracking down the demon."

"Okay, everything serves the plot."

Broly hadn't studied photography, but he had acted in plays and could understand Jade's thoughts.

Under controllable conditions, allow other characters to have wonderful performances and experiences.

Broly followed Jackie Chan at a leisurely pace.

They continued filming the other person without disturbing them, occasionally stopping to ask passersby for information.

. . . .

Meanwhile, at the hotel, the Mafia members had already gone upstairs.

But they were stumped about which room Jackie Chan was in.

The hotel had security guards. As criminals, they weren't afraid of the guards, but they were afraid of making a commotion, which might alert Broly and Jackie Chan and draw them back.

Therefore, Lasu, Afen, and the others adopted the clumsy method of pretending to be hotel staff and knocking on doors one by one to check the identities of the guests inside.

"Hello, sir, hotel service."

"But I didn't order hotel service!"

"This is a special service, you know what I mean."

"Huh, special services?!"

The man immediately became interested upon hearing this.

But as soon as I opened the door, a hand reached out.

"This is a special sleep service."

Black Tiger Afu knocked out the guest he wasn't looking for.

It will take them some time to find their father and the others who live in the upper floors.

. . . .

"I can feel the power of lightning gathering in the sky. I need to find a high place to absorb it!"

The Thunder Demon ran towards the direction of Hollywood Hills, where the Hollywood sign and the signal tower are located.

When Broly and Jackie Chan caught up with them, the sky was already overcast before nightfall, raindrops fell, and lightning flashed, striking the signal tower. Zhong Su stood on the tower with his hands raised, seemingly accepting the immense power of the lightning.

"Boom~"

The thunder then resounded, and the Hollywood Hills trembled slightly from the booming thunder.

"It seems we're too late."

The flashing lightning illuminated Cheng Long's somewhat pale face, while his soul, Xiao Yu, was very excited.

The Sino-Soviet Union, enveloped in thunder, was the very supervillain she had been anticipating in the documentary.

"Broly, Jackie Chan? You two have come at the perfect time. Come and witness the immense power I possess after fully regaining my strength!"

China and the Soviet Union saw them, and their strength, now restored to its peak, or even stronger than at its peak, filled Him with boundless confidence.

"Thunder assists me, lightning and thunder!"

With a wave of his hand, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, continuing its trajectory towards Broly and Jackie Chan after hitting the ground.

Broly grabbed Jackie Chan and dodged, but the lightning bolt seemed to have a lock-on cheat code, relentlessly pursuing his trail.

The ground was charred black by the powerful electric current, and the Hollywood sign was shattered by the lightning during the pursuit.

"If one lightning bolt isn't enough, then bring more!"

Seeing that Broly was able to dodge, the Chinese and Soviet Union waved their hands, causing more continuous lightning to fall from the dark, cloud-covered sky. These lightning bolts formed an encirclement, as if they were about to electrocute Broly and Jackie Chan into charred remains.

Of course, Broly only needs to set up the energy shield, and these lightning bolts won't be much of a problem, but the spectacle might be less impressive.

After thinking for a moment, Broly raised his hand and aimed at the Sino-Soviet side, throwing out an energy blast. The signal tower was hit and collapsed. As the tower fell, the continuous spellcasting of the Sino-Soviet side was interrupted, and the lightning disappeared in front of them.

The dissipated electrical energy made Jackie Chan's hair stand on end and gave him a tingling sensation all over his body.

"Uncle Long, you and Xiaoyu stay far away and help me film. I'm going to fight the other side."

"What? Xiaoyu, she's here too?"

Jackie Chan looked around and quickly realized what was happening.

"She took a talisman, was it an invisibility snake talisman?"

Soul Jade slapped her forehead, not expecting Broly to expose her like that.

"It's not a snake charm, it's a sheep charm. Her soul left her body and followed her here."

I wasn't sure if the lightning would hurt her, so I told her to stay far away.

“Okay, Broly, I know you mean well.”

"Xiaoyu, I knew you were restless. Listen to Broly and stay by my side later."

Jackie Chan is lecturing to thin air.

"Uncle Long can't see me in my soul form."

Xiaoyu, on the other side, said to the boy with some helplessness.

"I've passed."

Broly waved to the girl and flew over to act out a scene with Zhong Su, who was climbing up from under the collapsed iron tower.

Under the protection of the Thunder, China and the Soviet Union's strength has been greatly enhanced. If the previous one was a small power bank, the current one is a nuclear power plant.

Amidst the crackling lightning, the Soviet Union and China could also manipulate electromagnetic forces to fly through the sky. Broly, his body enveloped in air, engaged in aerial combat with the electric hippopotamus.

"Oh, Broly, he's a real superman!"

Even Jackie Chan, who often performs actions that defy the laws of physics, couldn't help but sigh at the sight of the two figures throwing lightning balls and energy blasts at each other in the sky.

"Uncle Long, stop giving your opinion and hurry up and capture this amazing scene!"

Xiaoyu was anxiously watching from the side, urging her uncle to stop staring blankly at the show, but Jackie Chan couldn't hear her voice in his soul state.

"Bang~"

A ball of lightning struck nearby, shattering the ground and waking Jackie Chan.

“Oh, I almost forgot about that. Broly said he would help with the filming.”

Once he came to his senses, Jackie Chan quickly picked up his Polaroid camera.

"Also, I need to inform my dad and the others."

He then took out the satellite phone assigned to him by District 13 and dialed a number to his father at the hotel.

. . . .

"We've found the Thunder Demon. Broly is holding it off. Okay, Dad, Tru and I will head over with magic potions and castanets."

In the hotel room, the old man called out to Tru.

[Great! Nobody's watching me, I can run away!]

Valon was overjoyed to see this.

"Oh, right, one more thing, don't forget to tie this bad guy's hands and feet, we can't let him get away."

"Don't worry, Master. I have some knowledge of the Tortoise Shell Binding technique. I guarantee that once it's properly tied up, Valon will definitely not be able to escape."

Tru pulled out a rope, and Valon's expression changed, but before he could even escape, he had already failed.

"For the sake of my past as your boss, could you tie me up in a normal position?"

"Okay, Valon, I promise you."

Tru agreed, and Valon breathed a sigh of relief; it was a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune.

"dong dong dong~"

Just then, a knock sounded at the door, and Zhou, with a shrill voice, spoke from outside.

"Hotel service, the kind of special service."

"Excuse me, we don't need any special services."

When the old man opened the door, he saw the four members of the Black Hand Gang.

"It seems we've finally found the place."

The old man wanted to close the door, but Black Tiger Afu struck first.

The old man was struck on the neck with a chop to the neck and immediately passed out.

"master?!"

Tru was shocked and furious, and turned to rush towards the door.

Valon was pushed over and his body hit the table.

He fell to the ground, and the water glass on the table fell on his forehead, washing away the Qi character.

"Scorpion swishing its tail, an angry octopus, an antelope kicking its legs!"

Tru was no match for Afu. He was defeated by Afu's various moves that included animal names but were actually simple and unadorned punches and kicks.

"You've come at just the right time."

The air runes were washed away, and Shendu regained control of Valon's body, breaking the ropes binding his hands and feet.

"Holy Lord, we need to leave here quickly. Broly and Jackie Chan could come back at any time."

"They can't come back for now. That guy from Zhongsu has been found, and Broly and Jackie Chan are fighting him." "Should we go over and help?"

"That's right, we need to rush over and help. Let's grab the potion this old guy concocted, the clappers over there, and the Pangu Box, and head over there!"

The Holy Lord directed the Black Hands to do some work and then hurriedly left the hotel room.

. . . .

"Hahaha, Broly, have you seen it? This is my true power. You were only able to defeat me before because you were lucky."

Zhong Su laughed heartily, because from His perspective, Broly was being chased by His own lightning, looking extremely dangerous and somewhat disheveled.

Broly: "..."

If it weren't for the need to fit the plot Xiaoyu described and to film a good scene, he would have already killed this hippo demon that was just electrified.

While being relentlessly attacked by the dark energy, they also released Haiti to cooperate in the performance, dodging left and right. They were both working hard, making the scene look extremely exciting.

"Xiaoyu, is Uncle Long done filming? When are Dad and Tru coming over?"

The rain was pouring down, and lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, threatening to reach Jackie Chan and Jade below. Broly asked loudly.

"The filming is done, but I don't know when Dad and Tru will arrive."

Xiaoyu also felt that her father and Tru were too slow. Even if they had walked here, they should have arrived by now, but no one came.

"Hurry up, this guy's lightning has too wide a range. If this continues, I will have to kill him for your safety."

"Hang in there, Broly, I'll call and ask."

Jackie Chan couldn't see Jade, but he could hear Broly's voice, so he quickly took out his satellite phone and dialed.

"Oh my god, what happened to Dad? They're not answering my calls."

Jackie Chan's phone went unanswered, and he began to worry.

"I'll go back and take a look."

Xiaoyu also became worried, and her soul quickly flew towards the hotel.

"You think you can just cut me off like this?"

Zhong Su lunged at him, but Broly kicked him away.

"My attacks are becoming increasingly powerful, yet they barely scratch my surface. And you, you're almost no match for me!"

The Chinese and Soviet leaders laughed heartily, completely absorbed in the excitement of chasing Broly, without considering that the boy opposite them might be acting.

. . . .

"Dad, Tru, what's wrong with you?"

Back in the hotel room, seeing her father and Tru lying on the floor, Xiaoyu quickly returned to her body and shook the two awake.

"Dad, what's wrong with me? Oh right, the Black Hand gang is at the door."

When Dad woke up, he was stunned for a moment before he remembered what had just happened.

"They knocked out the old man and rescued Valon."

Tru rubbed his slightly sore back of the head, sat up and said.

"Never mind that for now, Dad, where are the castanets and medicine you prepared?"

Xiaoyu was relieved to see that the two were alright, but she was now more concerned about the wrap-up of the documentary. If her father and Tru didn't get there soon, they would lose their scenes.

"Damn it, they stole the castanets and potions used to fight the lightning demon."

The old man's expression changed drastically when he discovered that the castanets and medicine were missing.

"Is it too late to allocate the funds now?"

Xiaoyu also became nervous. The key prop was missing. Could the filming still continue?
"This will take quite a while. Can Jackie Chan and Broly hold out?"

The old man was very worried.

"Dad, I think you should ask if the lightning demon can hold out."

. . . . .

"What? The potion and the castanets were stolen?"

Jackie Chan was shocked when he received a call from his father.

"If we can't hold on, we should retreat first. As long as we have life, we can always rebuild."

My father's voice came through the microphone.

"Okay, I got it. Hey, Broly..."

Jackie Chan shouted towards the sky, and just as he was about to tell Broly to run away, he saw the Saiyan boy in the sky rush in front of the Thunder Demon and was now beating up Zhong Su Zhong.

Upon hearing Jackie Chan's shout, Broly kicked the beaten Zhong Su to the ground, turned around and asked, "What happened?"

"Dad said that if we can't hold on, we can retreat."

Jackie Chan gave a somewhat awkward reply, while Broly didn't seem to be losing his grip and even appeared to have regained the upper hand.

Is this a new filming schedule for Xiaoyu?

Broly decided to retreat first.

"You won't escape!"

Zhong Su was still a little flustered after being knocked down and crashing into the mountain peak, but when he saw Broly trying to leave, he thought the boy was out of strength, so he threw a ball of lightning at him, wanting to fight again.

"Demons and monsters, leave! Demons and monsters, leave!"

Just then, the incantation began.

"what?"

The voice was loud and clear, and even the sound of rain could not stop the incantation. Everyone in the room heard it. Jackie Chan thought that his father and Tru had arrived, but when he looked in the direction of the sound, he saw the Black Hand Gang and others dancing the shaman on the other side.

"Ah, Holy Lord, what do you want to do?"

The Chinese and Soviet leaders also saw the people over there and roared in shock and anger.

"What am I doing? Of course, it's to retaliate for treating me like cannon fodder."

The Holy Lord answered.

As a demon, He cannot use righteous spells, but He can guide people like the Black Hand, who are human, to use righteous spells.

“You abandoned me, and now I will abandon you, Rasu, strike the clapper.”

"Yes, Holy Lord."

Rasu struck the castanets, and the power of the spell shot out from the castanets toward Zhongsu. Zhongsu tried to escape but was caught.

"Holy Lord, don't forget our agreement. Don't you want to break the curse that possesses you?"

His current strength is astonishing; he can even briefly resist righteous magic spells.

"Ha, I haven't forgotten, but our agreement was only to release you from hell, not to lock you back in hell after releasing you. This is my way of repaying you for abandoning me and running away."

"Damn it, you'll regret this."

Whether I regret it or not is a matter for later; right now, you're the one who should be regretting it!

Zhongsu could not withstand it any longer. The thunderous power within his body was forced out, and the curse pulled him back to the location of the Gates of Hell. The Gates of Hell within the Galaxy Studios opened, and the Thunder Demon was resealed.

"Afen, Zhou, I really didn't expect that we could become saviors who seal away demons."

Rasu was very excited and kept banging his castanets.

"Humph~"

The possessed Shendu snorted coldly, looking at Jackie Chan and Broly in the sky with their Polaroid cameras pointed at them, and said, "We will meet again!"

After saying this, the Holy Lord waved his hand, raising a cloud of black smoke, and disappeared with the Black Hand Gang members.

Broly stroked his chin, feeling that something was off about how the story was unfolding.

"What? The Holy Lord and the others who escaped helped you seal the Lightning Demon?"

After the dark clouds in the sky dispersed, Broly led Jackie Chan to his father and the others who were buying medicine ingredients at the general store, and told them the amazing news.

"This is truly unexpected."

Xiaoyu opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

"Isn't this part of your filming plan?"

Broly asked, somewhat curiously.

"I didn't have such a plan, but this ending seems more interesting."

Xiaoyu connected her phone to the agent's Polaroid camera and viewed the Black Hand gang members who cast the spell to send the demon back to hell. She didn't dislike the unexpected ending.

"The rain has stopped, and it seems like we can still go to the Hollywood handprint and autograph event. Are you guys going?"

Tru asked.

"go."

Xiaoyu answered immediately.

"Hey, Xiaoyu, didn't you say you weren't interested?"

"Yes, I'm not interested, but I've realized that the video I shot today seems a bit long, and I need to find a professional to help me edit it."

That evening, at the Hollywood handprint signing event, Xiaoyu met the famous director Larry. Xiaoyu took out the original footage she had spent a day shooting, but she didn't know how she negotiated with him. Anyway, the famous director Larry was willing to lend her his studio and help edit the original footage.

The condition is that the child actor (Broly) and the adult actor (Jackie Chan) in the film must participate in some of his future films.

“Miss Xiaoyu, I must remind you that if you breach the contract, I will sue you into bankruptcy after your film ‘Super Agent vs. Thunder Demon’ is released.”

“No problem, Mr. Larry. I’m not like the devil. I keep my promises!”

Before leaving Hollywood, Jade and Larry became good friends, but she still had to discuss with the investors (Inspector Black of District 13) when the popcorn action blockbuster "Agents vs. Thunder Demons" would be released, since it involved a secret organization.

"I look forward to hearing good news from you."

"Xiaoyu, how did you manage to get a big Hollywood director to see us off?"

Even as Jackie Chan drove, he still felt that things were somewhat surreal.

"It's very simple. All you need to do is spend a day filming an action blockbuster in Hollywood with a handheld camera, then find him and show him the film."

Xiaoyu answered.

"If we were in a movie right now, I feel like we should be getting a close-up shot of our car from an overhead perspective, then the camera zooms out, our voices fading as the car drives away, and finally the end credits appear..."

Tru's words prompted his father to retort, "This isn't a Hong Kong movie."
