178 Renso (1/2)
Renso, the captain of the Sadala Defense Forces, just came back home from work. He opened the door of his house and looked around trying to find someone. He didn't find anyone inside and only sighed.
”Guess she is hanging out with these punks again.” After saying that he sighed again, his sister had a fierce temperament. Caulifla was basically raised without her parents, so from young on she was harsher than her peers.
It wasn't like Renso couldn't understand her, but he couldn't get through to her. He always thought it was a waste of her talent that she only knew how to make trouble. She just turned 14 a while ago and it was time for her to search for a job if she didn't want to attend to a public or military school. He even tried to introduce her to the Sadala defense forces, but she wouldn't comply and quickly ran off.
”Excuse me, are you Renso?” A deep voice suddenly sounded out right behind Renso. He quickly turned around and only saw a muscular abdomen. Renso looked up, but a shadow was being cast, preventing Renso from seeing this man's face.
”Can I help you with something?” Renso said cautiously while taking a step back into his house. His alarm bells were ringing. He was the captain of the defense forces for a long time and was honed by the hard-fought battles that he had during the years, it wasn't far-off to call his sense for danger to be pristine.
He had only noticed this man after he said something. If this man didn't want to be noticed, Renso would have never been aware of his presence.
The man took a few steps into the house, forcing Renso to back off even further inside. The man had to duck inside has he was too tall for the door frame. He turned around and closed the door behind him.
”Sorry for the intrusion. I wish to talk with you about something. No, I should say about someone.”
Now inside, Renso was able to discern this man's face. A handsome face with hints of savageness, but also majestic features. His body was in every definition perfect. A once in a billion specimen. Renso could feel the power hidden deep inside and it made him threatened to say the least.
The man had several golden ornaments and the fabric of his pants and sash were obviously high-quality cloth. He gave Renso the same feeling the king gave him when he had an audience in the past.
No, he felt that this man was far more intimidating and royal than the king himself. If they stood next to each other, he wouldn't know whom to bow to. He was not someone he wanted to mess with. Even as the captain and one who is considered to be strong on this planet, he felt like he wouldn't stand a chance against him.
Should he escape or attack him first?
Fear had already gripped him and didn't register anything this man said.
The man smiled at him, but Renso didn't feel anything good about it. For him it was the same as if a beast was playing with his prey.
”I am called Broly and I am here for your daughter Caulifla.” Renso immediately squinted his eyes and his whole body turned into battle mode. No trace of the previous timid nature to be found. The ki inside him was boiling waiting for a release. Broly scratched his head as he finally got Renso's attention after several failed attempts at calling out to him.
”I heard she is somewhat of a brat. I want to help her get back on track. You agree that her current actions are just a waste of her potential, right?”
Renso finally calmed down after hearing what Broly said. ”What is she to you? I don't remember her mentioning you.” Renso was skeptical of this man called Broly. He hardly looked like a punk but rather like a royal relative.
”I know she has some unrealized potential of greatness. I want to see her unearth her strength to the fullest and I am probably the only one capable of doing so. After all, I am the strongest Saiyan alive.”
Broly spoke with a forceful conviction, leaving no room for negotiations. Renso was aware that even if he didn't approve of this, Broly might just force him to comply.
He also knew of this latent potential of his sister and he lowkey believed that this man was the strongest Saiyan and could help her gain more power. Despite this, he wouldn't just allow anyone to come into her house and take his sister with him.
”You don't seem to approve.” Broly tilted his head as he looked at Renso. Broly had sharp senses and he could somewhat guess what he thought based on the miniscule muscle movements of Renso's face.
