Chapter 100: Fred
Translator: EndlessFantasy TranslationEditor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Fred’s appearance panicked Brent. Ye Chong showed ignorance to this elderly’s debut however, as he raised his fist, ”Wait a moment, Ye!” Mu stopped him with a scream. The rationale behind this pause from him was apparently to avoid further contradiction from brewing since they had already gotten full control of the situation.
Brent seemed very alarmed, as deep inside he feared his uncle being wounded by this beast.
Fred who had seen ample of dark sides of the world was pretty calm surprisingly, ”I was not expecting you to take such trickery in response to my rejection upon your request. And I guess you used the same way to invite my old friend Zuo Moucheng over your place, didn’t you?” Anger was embedded within his words while Brent’s eyes were also coated with rage as he glared upon Ye Chong.
”I don’t understand what the heck you are saying.” Ye Chong was bewildered, his voice went somberly, ”But you guys better be acting on my will.”
”Hmph!” the elderly sneered. ”Save the silly acting skills! We are already the fish in your net and this time the organization must be serving compliments to your plate I supposed. And at this rate someday you’ll enjoy being one killer-whale bounded by the organization as you killed the insignificant others. You might be great, but you still are preposterous and pathetic!”
”My request…” Ignoring the elderly’s words, Ye Chong spoke on, ”Change the direction.”
”Oh? Change the course you mean?” The mock on Fred’s face intensified, ”Very well then, to where we change the course, mister?”
”Uh!” Ye Chong did not see that question coming, ”Um… Anywhere you want!”
”Anywhere… I want?” His eyes enlarged as he turned speechless while Brent’s face went dazed as well. ”Wait…” Fred reformed his understanding to the situation, ”Mister, are not you from those men?”
”I seriously do not have any idea what you guys are saying!” Ye Chong was annoyed by how these men were acting so confusingly and why they could not just act on his orders already, ”You seriously better be changing the course right now.” He wondered if he should demonstrate his threatening tactic taught by Shang to make the men move.
”Alright, alright, alright. We are changing the course!” Fred looked joyful as he nodded his head, he stayed quiet for a moment as if pondering and then he enquired, ”How about Morienste?”
”Morienste? Is it far from Blue Ocean planet?” asked Ye Chong.
”Very!” replied Fred.
”Good. Morienste it is,” stated Ye Chong while both Fred and Brent looked at each other, sighing in relief. They appeared much relaxed by then.
”Is there anything going on in Blue Ocean?” Brent asked after staying silent for long enough, obviously liberated from his fear and fright as soon as he identified Ye Chong as not the ”men” mentioned by his uncle. They were in much comfort as Fred even poured Ye Chong a glass of wine, of the colour amber and he gestured him to have a drink. Brent collapsed onto the sofa and started bandaging his wounds.
Ye Chong did not know what to answer to keep the ball rolling, he just mentioned whatever he had heard, ”Oh… They said some kind of virus was discovered. Charl… Charles-II was it?”
”Charles-II?” Fred was wondering if the boy made a mistake, then he realized something, ”Charles-V? Charles-V you mean!” Fred’s glass fell off from his hand as he was horrified, while Brent held his hands and watched in dismay. ”Black Charles?” Fred began mumbling for quite sometime. After literally half a minute, he collected his thoughts as his shaking hands slid into his pocket for a communicator.
Brent was so startled by his uncle acting so gracelessly. In his impression of his uncle, he had always been an untroubled great man no matter what horrible things had happened despite being an odd-tempered elderly, which was a virtue he wanted to learn from his uncle.
Fred inhaled heavily as he tried calming down. He connected the communicator to Captain Hatik’s room.
”Yes, Fred the Great sir, how may I help you?”
And that was what happened next chapters ago…
…
Since the course had been changed and the major dispute between both parties had been resolved. The atmosphere had turned much lighter. Other than that kick on Brent, there was nothing dissatisfying. Brent was not the kind who would mind a kick, while Ye Chong did not have any specific request in mind. Fred on the other hand was rather intrigued by the mech behind Ye Chong as he watched his nephew chatting with Ye Chong.
”My name is Brent. That’s my uncle Fred. I wonder how should I address a fine man like you?” Introduced Brent with a gentle smile, trying to break the ice while Fred, his uncle was circling around Mu with his eyes lustered as he touched the body and mumbled occasionally, then he would ponder, strangely he acted upon the mech.
”Kun Ting,” Ye Chong replied flatly as he came up with a random name. Well he was still pretty close to Blue Ocean planet, the place of his plagued fate. He would not want to be recognized by someone right away.
”Great name. Great name. You have such amazing dexterity. Both your speed and strength are the best among the people I had fought before. There were a lot of well-known fighters who shared inferiority to your capability,” complimented Brent sincerely.
