Fury Ocean Chapter 1

Chapter One: The Swan inside The Fence

Penta-Bull city. It was an ordinary city on Hualong Federal Immigration’s Sixth Star, Meng Fei Star.

The city was surrounded by five bull-shaped mountains and a lot of tourists were attracted to this area by the beautiful scenery. The five mountains provided fertile land for the local farmers as well as ascetic value to the residents, even having the poetry written to praise the beauty of nature.

There were rocks on the mountains. Hundreds of years ago, the ancestors of the citizens came here for mining and lived on this land. However, the empty shafts of the mines indicated depletion of the natural resource.

Tenacity and honesty became the common personality traits for Penta-Bull residents.

It was the Divine Age, as known as the DA. It was the summer of 1988.

It was July, the azalea on the mountains started to fade. The tourists gradually went back to their own cities and Penta-Bull city would become peaceful for a short period of time.

However, this year was quite different. The visitors were increasing day by day and the airport became extremely busy. Inside the city, almost every hotel had been booked and there were still lots of reservation phone calls coming in from interplanetary visitors and even from Shang Jing city and other foreign countries.

Shang Jing: The capital of Hualong Seventh Federal Administrative Planet with a population of billions of people.

It was a glorious and famous city

Now, no matter where the visitors came from, Shang Jing or foreign countries. They went to the same place: Penta-Bull City.

“Cool!”

Most of the Penta-Bull residents felt that the influx of visitors was great. Not only because the tourists spilled their money in their city, but also because of the bustling streets full of people.

Penta-Bull city had a long history, but the population started to decline a few years ago, because of the depletion of natural resources. The Penta-Bull felt like an old man that had been forgotten by people. This was the only time for the city to be “popular”. Some hotels managers even answered the phone themselves so that they could experience the feeling of being “popular”.

What happened? Why were there suddenly so many people coming here?

“The Relics of G.o.d Kingdom Exhibition Tour, the last stop!”

No matter which city, this event would attract thousands of tourists.

Oh well, the exhibition was so attractive, did everyone like it?

Of course not.

“There isn’t a G.o.d in the world! I don’t want to see the exhibition! I want to climb the mountain and see the azalea ……”An eight-year-old boy waved his free hand and said. His name was Ben Niu. His left hand was held by his father, which he was struggling to free. He made an oath.

“I want to be a warrior, a Mecha Warrior!”

——————————————————————————————————————————

“Bad boy!”

It was a sunny day in July. Yidao Niu sweated heavily while dragging his son.

In the center of the exhibition, lots of tourists looked around. Some people were curious what was happening between the father and son pair and looked at Yidao Niu. Sometimes, some people grinned.

Adding on the weather and other people’s reactions, Yidao Niu was getting even more angry about his son’s att.i.tude and blamed his wife.

“You always spoil him, now he doesn’t listen to anyone.”

Yidao Niu was a middle-aged, strong and balding man. It was hard to believe that this ordinary looking guy was the No.1 surgeon in Penta-Bull city!

He wrote several papers in the past and some of them were published in famous scientific journals. Also, he had won some awards and his professionalism was undoubted. Since he obtained his doctor license, there were no accidents in his career.

It was an amazing achievement!

The lovely boy beside him was his son. The boy’s eyebrows looked exactly like Yidao Niu.

Spoiling was a common thing for parents. This father was serious and callous. In other people’s opinion, Yidao Niu protected his family like a lion.

Right now, Yidao Niu didn’t know how to do. He just vented his anger on some unrelated persons.

“What you looking at!”

Rude, professional, irritable, those were Yidao Niu’s personality traits.

“Ruins of the G.o.d Kingdom is not a fraud, it doesn’t have relations.h.i.+p with G.o.ds.”

On the other hand, his wife Yishou Liu was tender. Her words never sounded like a scolding, but rather like a kind of encouragement.

“The G.o.d Kingdom is a planet outside the star, the relic is a s.p.a.cecraft from there. When the s.h.i.+p flew to our star, it fell into parts and the debris scattered on the various planets.”

She leaned down and readjusted the boy’s clothes. Yishou Liu turned up his trouser legs to his knees and wiped the sweat off his head with hands patiently.

“This s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p was crucial for the development of our world. Therefore, we call its origin “The G.o.d Kingdom” in order to show our respects.”

“s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p? Why is it important? Dad has one too.” The boy calmed down a little and asked.

“This s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p is from two thousand years ago.” Yidao Liu answered.

“What!” The boy was shocked.

“Your dad talks about the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p from the G.o.d Kingdom, not the one he has.”

Mother Yishou Liu further explained and gave her son a pat on the shoulder. “Two thousand years ago, this s.p.a.cecraft came to our star. At that moment, there were no civilizations in the world.”

“Only primitive wild tribes existed at that time. The G.o.d Kingdom came and the new century began.” Yidao Niu said and frowned, like he was talking about a complex surgery.

“Uh, then?” Ben Niu was still a kid so finally, his curiosity was aroused by his parent’s words.

“There are many files which record various civilizations and the history of 100 hundred nations in the G.o.d Kingdom. Those priceless doc.u.ments were scattered on different places after the s.p.a.cecraft broken. The debris slowly drifted to the different planets and gradually was discovered by the locals. ”

“Since then, humans learned, collected and found more relics about the G.o.d Kingdom. People started to understand those doc.u.ments and applied it to the real world. Therefore, those relics are important for our development.“

She started to introduce the brief history of humans to her son and said: “Today, our words science and technology are derived from the civilization in the G.o.d Kingdom. The Ancient Medicine I study came from a doc.u.ment about an eastern nation in the G.o.d Kingdom. There are thousands of achievements in the G.o.d Kingdom, the Ancient Medicine is just one of them.”

Yishou Liu was the first person who studied the Ancient Medicine in the Penta-Bull city. Ancient Medicine specialized in treating the patients by herbs and it was a unique treatment for infertility. Currently, it was the “all-about-data” era. However, Ancient Medicine observed the substance’s effects and the patients needed to take the medicine which were not strictly relied on data or chemical formula. Some people thought it was funny, old-fas.h.i.+on and even said some aggressively hateful words about the Ancient Medicine.

In this case, Yishou Liu could help a lot of infertile couples so they could enjoy their life.

Because of that, her patients privately called her “G.o.ddess of Mercy”. She even cured some patients who had diseases existing science could not explain. Her patients always said: Although not every disease could be cured, she still gave hope to her patients.

Hope, it was the most necessary thing patients needed.

“The s.p.a.cecraft from the G.o.d Kingdom played a significant role for our history, some people still call it the origin of the Divine Age and treat it like a G.o.d.” Yidao Niu said.

Yishou Liu continued: “In fact, wors.h.i.+p is not a wrong thing. This s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p represents the civilization The G.o.d Kingdom had two thousand years ago. Two thousand years pa.s.sed, how about now? The G.o.d Kingdom may still be more developed than us, just like two thousand years ago. ”

After Yidao Niu heard his wife’s words, he suddenly thought about something and hesitated.

“…… The G.o.d Kingdom maybe no longer exists.”

“Ah?” Ben Niu tried to imagine what The G.o.d Kingdom looked like and was surprised by his father’s words.

“Do not listen to your dad.”

Yishou Liu didn’t want to argue with her husband, so she continued: “Although the Relics from the G.o.d Kingdom cannot help us anymore, it has historical meaning. Generally, the s.p.a.cecraft is studied by scientists or protected by the government. For normal people, this is the only opportunity to see it. Penta-Bull city luckily became one stop for this tour and ……Anyway, we had to go because it’s the only chance. ”

“Sure.” Ben Niu finally agreed with his mother and looked around the exhibition.

When they came to the exhibition, there were already lots of visitors and it was crowded. He could see some guys in uniform standing on the street and watching every visitor and car. The policemen and police cars constantly patrolled to maintain order in the street.

Ben Niu realized how important the exhibition was. His mother was telling the truth that this exhibition was very rare.

However …… it was more precious than climbing the mountain?

Azaleas was very rare, it required fertile soil and grew at high alt.i.tudes. In the previous years, Ben Niu was a kid, so his parent didn’t allow him to go to the mountain until his 8th birthday. His parents were too busy a few weeks ago in summer and it was the best time to watch azaleas during the year. If they planned to go to the mountain this year, they had to prepare for the route, food and drinks and it was expensive…… Maybe he had to wait for the next year.

Apart from azaleas, his father promised many things, such as hunting, camping in forests, spring water and so on.

At that moment, Yidao Niu suddenly said: “Those scientists are useless and ended up learning very little at all.”

“Why?” Ben Niu was confused. His mother said that current technology was better than what the s.p.a.cecraft recorded.

He suddenly realized that his father always bragged and he said.

“Dad, you are bragging again.”

“What!” Yidao Niu was angry. “No! I am telling the truth!”

Yidao Niu didn’t know if his son could understand his words: “Although the current technology is better than it records, so far people cannot find the s.p.a.ce time tunnel where it came from. We have no idea where it came from and how to visit this kingdom through this s.p.a.ce time tunnel.”

“s.p.a.ce time tunnel?” This eight-year-old boy was confused.

“Folding s.p.a.ce, jump points, a black hole or something. I don’t know this kind of thing, and in fact, even our top scientists still have no clue.”

“……” Ben Niu was totally confused by his father’s words.

“In addition, the most important thing is the holy Grail.” Yidao Niu continued: “a lot of evidence show that the grail …… maybe exists.”

“That’s not true, forget it!” Yishou Liu suddenly interrupted with a harsh tone.

“It’s ok.” Yidao Niu became red with anger as soon as he heard his wife’s words.

“That’s not OK!”

“Uh……”

Yishou Liu gave hope to her patients so she was popular in the local community. Although she never wrote any paper or won the award, she was more famous than her husband in Penta-Bull city.

Also, in their home, her husband would listen to her words when she became really serious about something.

Yidao Niu never admitted that and he believed he was the one who made the final decision. His son was only 8, so he had to take care of this family.

“Ben Niu, you will be the best. You are only 8 right now and you have a great future.”

“I don’t want to be a doctor.” Ben Niu insisted on his dream job and said to his father.

“I want to be a Mecha Warrior and fight the enemy on the battlefield.”

“Fight?!” Yidao Niu became furious at his son and said: “Fighting is murder and that’s a crime. However, doctors save lives and it’s the greatest job in the world. Do you understand? “

“Murder is a crime?” Ben Niu was not so easily persuaded, He quickly responded: “Dad, you talked about those heroes on the battlefield. Did they not have to kill anyone?”

“They killed the enemy!”

“The enemy is not human?” The boy asked.

“……” Yidao Niu frowned and finally growled: “Have you heard of inheriting your father’s job’.”

“Alright.” The boy turned around and left. He thought: if I grow up, you can’t stop me.

“He doesn’t listen to me.” Yidao Niu said and started to blame his wife again: “Don’t just spoil your son.”

“Spoil my son? You are his dad.” Liu single-handedly refuted.

“I‘m too busy.”

“You mean to say that I am not busy with my work?”

“……”

“No matter what he does, I just want him to be safe.”

“No!” Yidao Niu argued: “I definitely disagree.”

“Sure……”

If Yidao Liu said something “definitely” important, Yishou Liu usually listened to him and chose to be silent.

“If you really want to become a Mecha Warrior, you should learn more about how it developed. I heard some friends say that there is a doc.u.ment about the oldest version of a Mecha suit that was found in the s.p.a.cecraft. You have to see it.”

“Just several pieces of wood.” Yidao Niu seems to have started sulking and sneered: “uh Yes, it was called the Trojan Horse.”

“Because of its preciousness, the body was made of wood. If you can, can you just build one for us?”

“I mean, present science and technology are so developed so this oldest version is useless.” Yidao Niu tried to negate everything related to Mecha Warriors.

“Trojan? Horses?” The eight-year-old boy was very curious about the Mecha suit.

“It’s just the shape. Anyway, we have to see it at first.”

Yishou Liu also had no idea about the Trojan horse, but she tried to say something to convince her son.

“Everything will remain the same on the mountain and there are also some flowers. After this exhibition, we will go to the mountain and see the Azaleas.”

“But dad said a lot of foreign patients will come, it will be very busy in the next few weeks.” Ben Niu was upset.

“That’s true …… how about, we ask your aunt to go with you?”

Yishou Liu winked at her son and pointed at the woman beside them. She emphasized the word “ask”.

“No!”

Hearing the word “aunt”, the boy was stunned and hid behind his dad, who was also hiding.

“Oh well…”

“Hey…”

There were two sighs. the first one was an accident, followed by the second one with frustration, guilt and apology. Two famous doctors in the Penta-Bull city were nervous like two kids made some mistakes.

“Mei ……”

“Stupid, cowardly and lack of concentration. He is just a mediocre person.” Mei said grimly.

——————————————————————————————————————————

If it wasn’t for that snort and the words, people wouldn’t even notice that there was a fourth member in this family.

Horsetail hair, dressed a bit weird. During summer in July, she was wearing a brown leather jacket, white dress and a pair of flat boots.

People would notice that the girl Mei was very pretty.

Oval face, light skin, with gorgeous lips. She was not wearing any makeup. A pair of thick brown sungla.s.ses was covering her eyebrows, which induced people to want to take it off and see her beautiful face.

It was July, yet this girl didn’t have any sweat on her face at all. By looking at her, one could feel a cool breeze.

She was cold. Too cold that she wasn’t like a human.

Speaking of cold, beautiful woman in front of strangers were usually like this. They had different intentions, and the effects were different. Some people were cold when you look at them, yet their hearts were warm. Some people used their coldness as their protection to warn those who had bad intentions. Some people were cold because they thought highly of themselves. Moreover, some women used their coldness to attract other’s attention in a different way.

Mei was cold, yet she was very pure. She was born to be indifferent.

Ben Niu was apparently afraid of his aunt Mei, yet for a long while, he actually forgot that she existed, or he wouldn’t be so importunate.

“He is not a coward. You don’t know him!”

When it comes to his son and his own dignity, Yishou Liu argued: “He’s still young. He hasn’t face any difficulties yet but it doesn’t mean that he can’t deal with any difficulties.”

“He is not stupid. He has a really good memory. Even better than mine!” His father added.

The couple didn’t mind Mei’s att.i.tude. They just looked at her facial expression when they argued for their son.

However, like always, Mei didn’t have any facial expression.

Apparently, her comment on Ben Niu didn’t involve any personal emotion. She did the evaluation based on objective observation. In other words, Ben Niu was the same as an idiot in her mind.

Mei still didn’t answer their words. Since she just gave the comment, she became absolutely silent. From other people’s perspective, it was hard to determine whether she ignored them or she couldn’t hear it.

“Still the same!” Yidao Niu slightly sighed.

“Much better.” Yishou Liu said.

“But after all these years ……”

“She knew, but still not used to it.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yeah.”

“Uh, I believe ……”

His parents secretly discussed about the aunt Mei and they didn’t fear she could hear it. Ben Niu was curious and interrupted his parent’s discussion.

“Dad, she is my real aunt? I don’t think she looks like you  ……”

“Mrs. Liu!”

The sudden voice interrupted the discussion. They turned around and saw a family of three except the driver and bodyguards. The man got off a Jaguar aircraft and walked towards the main gate of the exhibition.

Yidao Niu slightly frowned.

“It’s him?”
