Chapter 111 - The Hero?
While the government was planning to take action the two videos spread on the internet like wildfire. The number of people who watched it started to multiply very quickly. The stars of the video were sitting in a five-star hotel room.
The four guys were left off easy. The first one who was kicked down said, “That guy is very strong. My jaw hurts.” he held an ice pack in his hand covering the swollen jaw. The other two also expressed dissatisfaction while the main guy, Drake lay sprawled on the bed. His whole body was aching, especially his back. It was as if a truck hit him.
He has never been treated like this in his life. He could not even call his family as they sent him here as a punishment. He sighed with a wince as he laid down on the bed. He said, “The video will rich our people. They will do something about it do not worry. That boy attacked us. He will pay.”
While they were hoping for their government to take action. A press meet was called over.
…
Ali, the foreign minister of the jewel nation stood on the podium. He faced 20 or so reporters, who were invited to cover the news. The minister spoke, “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming. Today by the order of the Premier, I would like to address the issue related to a fight that took place in the Jade City university.”
The reporter all saw the video. Hearing the statement they all immediately perked up their ears. Ali paused and after gathering their attention, he spoke, “The two parties involved are Exchange student Drake Langdon, son of the CEO Mr. Arion Langdon. The other person is Feng Yang Dao. He is the brother of President Feng, of the phoenix group. The dispute started when a student sat down beside Drake. As seen in the first video as well. The second video is when Yang Dao beat them all.”
A reporter raised her hand and she asked, “Sir, why did Feng Yang Dao, attacked them?”
Ali replied, “After the investigation, the college staff reported to us that Feng Yang Dao first defended the two classmates as Drake Langdon attacked him. Feng Yang Dao also took out his identity certificate. I would like to inform you that Feng Yang Dao is a special recruit in the special forces. His performance videos can be checked on the Army website. Still, Recruit Dao did not take any action. Until Drake Langford insulted a female classmate.”
Another reporter raised his hand, Ali nodded and the man asked, “But sir, the act of violence is not a justifiable answer. After all, Drake Langford is from Crypto nation and is a guest here.”
Ali raised his eyebrow and said, “Due to the recent physical, violence and abusive treatment against the women in the nation. The premier has been thinking a lot and just before this incident he made a law to protect the rights and dignity of a woman. So this act is justified. Also, if someone is a guest at your home, will you let them treat your daughter however they want?”
The crisp reply made the reporter quiet. Ali continued, “After this incident, we would like to deliver a message to the Crypto nation. From this day forth, any Crypto nation native visiting Jewel nation will have to wear a red armband throughout their visit. If they are found without the armband, they will be deported back. Second, If any Crypto nation company breaches the contract in business, they will be black-listed from the Jewel Nation market.”
His statement sent out big waves among the reporters. The intent was clear, no more defense. The jewel nation was going to return the Crypto nation in kind. The press conference came to an end after a few more questions and answers.
The reporters returned to their channel and print media offices. They learned that not only Jewel Nation. But Freedom country, Hawk Nation, First Republic, almost half the world had come forward with such conditions. This was a worldwide action against the Crypto nation.
…
In the phoenix group office, the atmosphere was as tense as a war front. Nobody dared to even breathe loudly. They all saw the video on the net. Feng Yun’s younger brother was attacked in the college. They were all scared because Feng Yun may be a goddess but she was a goddess of hell.
What they all feared, did happen. Feng Yun dismissed all cooperations with the Crypto nation. She even stripped off the smart butler system from the building. All the vehicles from the crypto nation were gathered on the public square and burned to cinders.
This was not all, her shopping malls, canceled the contract with the top brands of the Crypto nation, paid for the supplies inside, and distributed them among the poor. This happened nationwide. The breach of contracts was paid by almost 10 percent of her net worth. The huge amount was paid without a blink.
The poor people who received the high-end gifts were all happy and blessed, Feng Yun. The lady behind it all was however walking on her high heels. Her face was ice cold. She wanted to rush over to the Crypto nation and burn them to ashes. She picked up her phone and failed Ryu Jinshi.
The call connected and the other side said, “I know, calm down. I will make sure none of the flies reach him.”
The flies in his mouth were the killers and assassins that the crypto nation would dispatch to deal with Yang Dao. Feng Yun hummed and put the phone down. She was uneasy with all this. Finally could not hold on and called Yang Dao.
As soon as the call picked up she started, “Dao, are you okay? Are you fine? Should I come over?” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
Yang Dao on the other side did not expect such a big reaction from the lady. He patiently waited for her to stop and said, “I am fine. Those kids were useless. They were only big-mouthed that is it.”
Feng Yun spoke, “But I saw the video. He hit you with the vacuum flask.” Yang dao shook his head and did not know how to console her.
The two people went back and forth on the discussion in the end Feng Yun compromised. The call disconnect with her sigh.
…
Yang Dao had just gotten off the call and walked back to the class. He saw Kylie Dew standing on the podium. Without any big reaction, he asked, “May I come in?”
The teacher nodded with a complex emotion in her eyes. She had no idea that she will kiss him in the morning. Yang Dao walked up to the chair and sat down beside Kiya. His movement did not reveal anything. The formal was even calmer than he was usually.
Kylie Dew carried on the lecture. Soon after the class was done she said, “Student Yang Dao, come to the office, please.”
Yang Dao stood up and followed her with no expression on his face. The two quickly came to the office where Kylie Dew sat on a chair and she said, “Dao, I am soo…”
Her words did finish when Yang Dao spoke, “What happened was a mistake. Forget it, I don’t want to talk about it. See you in the evening at my place. Good day.”
This simple answer made Professor Dew should. She did not even have the chance to say anything. A smile appeared on her face when she thought of something on she or gods know.
Yang Dao walked out and was on his way to the parking when he ran into Icarus. The two tagged along. Icarus asked, “Why are you heading to the parking? Did you not come by bike today?”
The boy shook his head. He replied, “I went to stay with Sister Yun. So drove a car today. What about you?”
Icarus replied, “The cycling club was not open today. The seniors went out to a trial race for the inter uni tournament. We are first years so we can slack off.”
Yang Dao nodded, the two people started talking about cycling club and some study-related topics. They reached the parking and found a huge crowd gathered together.
Suddenly they heard a loud voice, “DON’T TOUCH IT. IT IS WORTH TOO MUCH. WE CANNOT AFFORD IT.” the voice was not angry but excited.
Icarus walked ahead mumbling, “What is the fuss about?”
Yang Dao on the other hand placed his palm on the forehead. His posture was similar to Feng Yun. He knew why the crowd was gathered. It was because of his car. He had no choice but to dive into the crowd. It took him some effort and he finally, came to the front.
These guys were all standing five meters away from the car. Three guys were holding a boy with shining eyes. Yang Dao said to Icarus, “I will be going ahead you take your time.”
Icarus was focused on the car and nodded. Yang Dao took out the key from his pocket and pressed the button.

The car turned on, tail lights flickered. Suddenly the chaos descended into silence. Yang Dao walked over to the car under the surprised gazes and opened the door. He sat inside and after ignition drove away.
The shocked crowd did not move an inch. Suddenly a horn sounded and they all flinched awake. Still maintaining silence they all gave way to the vehicle and let it pass.
It was unknown who cheered first, but the shout was, “HAIL FENG YANG DAO, THE HERO OF THE UNI.”
He was rich, smart, strong, talented, handsome. What else does one need to be the hero?
