Neo's sudden appearance in Bulma's room obviously gave her a scare, but upon seeing that it was Neo, she patted her chest in relief and asked with a mix of surprise and confusion, "Didn't you go to gather the dragon balls? It hasn't even been half a day, why are you back so soon? Did you run into some trouble?"
Neo sat down casually, poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and said, "No, I've already gathered all of them."
With that, he took a capsule out of his pocket and pressed it lightly. With a 'Bang!' sound, white smoke instantly filled the air, and a box containing seven dragon balls appeared on the table.
Neo casually opened the box, and the seven dragon balls were immediately revealed before Bulma.
Looking at the seven dragon balls in the box, Bulma widened her eyes in an instant and looked at Neo in utter shock, "Wow~ It hasn't even been half a day, and you actually managed to gather all seven dragon balls? That is way too fast! Is your Instant Transmission really that useful?"
"Mostly because the Red Ribbon Army had already collected five dragon balls, which saved me a lot of time."
"The Red Ribbon Army?" Hearing this, Mrs. Brief, who was just passing by the hallway, immediately stopped in her tracks. Looking at Neo who had already returned, she walked straight into Bulma's room, "Linzhou, did you get into a conflict with the Red Ribbon Army?"
"Not really." Neo merely smiled.
Hearing this, Mrs. Brief let out a sigh of relief, "That's good then. I've heard that old man of mine mention before that the Red Ribbon Army is a bunch of outlaws. You must never go and provoke them—"
However, before she could finish her sentence, Neo's next words completely stunned her: "I simply wiped them out."
"Ah?!!"
Even the usually composed Mrs. Brief wore a look of astonishment. Her exclamation also drew Dr. Brieff from the living room, who happened to overhear their conversation and immediately asked Neo with a serious expression, "Did you really wipe out the Red Ribbon Army?"
"It's true, Dad, look!" Before Neo could reply, Bulma suddenly handed the smartphone in her hand to Dr. Brieff.
The screen on the phone was live-streaming the headquarters of the Red Ribbon Army reduced to ruins.
Seeing this, Neo felt a bit emotional, "These people really move fast! The moment I left, they were already on the news live broadcast."
However, the Red Ribbon Army must be constantly watched by people. The moment something happened, it hitting the news first thing seemed to make sense.
Looking at the image on the phone, Dr. Brieff fell silent. He seemed to need to re-evaluate his son-in-law's combat power. A single person, in less than half a day, had actually wiped out the Red Ribbon Army and even blew up their headquarters. This was truly astonishing.
Because he knew the terrifying nature of the Red Ribbon Army better than anyone else. Behind them stood a scientist with the same status as him, Dr. Gero, though his field was different from his own. That guy specialized in researching biological weapons, and had even successfully researched Androids, making him extremely dangerous.
Yet Neo alone had wiped out such an organization. Just how strong must this strength be!
Listening to the news broadcast on the phone, Bulma was also shocked, "Linzhou! Did you really wipe out the Red Ribbon Army all by yourself? Are you already this strong now?"
Looking at Bulma's cute, astonished expression, Neo responded with a smile, "It's just a tiny Red Ribbon Army, no need to make such a fuss. If I wanted to, I could even destroy Earth!"
"Uh..." Bulma froze slightly, then immediately rolled her eyes at Neo, clearly disbelieving, "I just praised you for two seconds, and you're already starting to show off, aren't you!"
Neo just smiled without explaining too much. Master Roshi's combat power of over a hundred was enough to blow up the moon with a single Kamehameha, so with his combat power of over three thousand, destroying Earth wouldn't be too much of a stretch, right?
However, Dr. Brieff looked at Neo with a serious expression and said, "When you wiped out the Red Ribbon Army, did you see a person named Dr. Gero?"
Neo immediately looked at Dr. Brieff and said, "Father-in-law knows Dr. Gero too?"
Dr. Brieff looked very serious: "As fellow top scientists on Earth, of course I know him. It's just that our fields are different, and our stances are different. That guy is an extremely extreme fellow, and the things he researches are extremely dangerous. He is the chief scientist behind the Red Ribbon Army and also the mastermind behind the scenes. If you wiped out the Red Ribbon Army but didn't finish him off, it might become extremely troublesome later on, and you will inevitably suffer his revenge!"
Neo sighed and said, "That guy is too cunning. When I went to look for him, he had already escaped!"
Dr. Brieff looked solemn: "That guy is most afraid of death, and the place he stays must have all sorts of escape devices and methods set up. It's normal that he got away; after all, the military has never managed to capture him either. Given his personality, I'm afraid he'll research even more terrifying things to exact his revenge!"
Hearing this, Neo immediately thought of Android 17, Android 18, and the other Androids. In the original story, that guy indeed did that: secretly observing Son Goku, gathering intelligence, and ultimately creating a group of dangerous Androids.
After that, would Dr. Gero observe him? Gather intelligence on him, and then create a group of Androids even more terrifying than those in the original story? After all, the stronger he was, wouldn't the Androids created to deal with him be even stronger?
Neo suddenly got a headache. This Dr. Gero truly was a trouble.
But on second thought, as long as he didn't let him gather his true intelligence, and didn't display a combat power too far surpassing Son Goku, dealing with Android 17, Android 18, and Cell when the time came shouldn't be too difficult.
Thinking of this, Neo immediately dismissed the idea of giving the gravity room to Son Goku. After all, if Son Goku became stronger, the Androids might also become stronger and uncontrollable. It was better to let Son Goku grow in strength according to the plot! He could secretly use the gravity room and Senzu beans to get stronger, and by then he would be able to crush Android 17, Android 18, and Cell.
Filled with confidence, Neo said to Dr. Brieff, "Don't worry! Father-in-law, a mere Dr. Gero is nothing in my eyes. But you should also help me keep an eye on his movements. If there is any news, tell me immediately, and I'll go wipe him out directly!"
"That's the only way." Dr. Brieff nodded with a serious expression.
"Oh~ right!" Neo suddenly remembered that Dr. Gero hadn't started researching Androids yet, so shouldn't Android 17 and Android 18 not have been modified yet? Wouldn't that mean as long as he found the siblings, he could camp out and wait for Dr. Gero? Because he knew very well that Dr. Gero would capture the siblings and modify them into Androids.
