The Urban Dao Child

As the reporters were busy questioning Icarus and Ray about themselves and the automated vehicle system. Yang Dao was talking to Mary. He asked, “Madam, is the Dao Technologies, website ready to go active?”

This task of website design was overtaken by Mary herself. The boy was not aware of the rules and policies a commercial website has to follow. Also, he has been working over the mobile OS and the vehicle assistant. So, Mary also wanted to lower down his workload slightly. Lest Feng Yun found out that her brother was working too much and sent her out to the polar regions again.

Mary nodded as she heard the question and said, “The beta version of the website used last time for letting the people download the translator app will now be updated on a complete website. This way the people will down the OS system directly from there as well as they will read about the vehicle too.”

It seemed as if Mary wanted to say something more, but she hesitated. Yang Dao asked, “What is it?”

The lady sighed and asked, “Do you really not want to let us publicize on Lisa’s account?”

Yang Dao’s expression immediately became stern. He said, “What do you want to do exactly? Tell the world that Lisa is mute? Then if one day she started speaking, would it not be a slap to us? Or do you want Lisa to dress up and walk in front of these people like a model? I have mentioned it once, and this is the last time you will hear it from me. Lisa is not to be pushed in front of people if she doesn’t want to. Understood?”

His aura was that of a domineering president and Mary instinctively flinched and nodded. Yurika at the side could not help but feel shocked at Yang Dao’s behavior. She was about to scold him when the boy looked over at her. He said, “When you are in the office you do not get the special treatment. Go, get back to your work.”

Yurika flinched and left after she stuck out her tongue at him. Icarus and Ray came over at this moment. The latter said, “Dao, we are done with the questions and answers. Now only let the vehicle come back and then give them all a lap around the block.’

The boy raised his eyebrows at them. This was not planned. Icarus interjected, “They are anxious and said, ‘We can not do a good report if we don’t experience ourselves.’ I think it is fine, I and senior Ray can take turns and have it done. What do you think?”

Yang Dao sighed and nodded. Soon the three finished their discussion. At this moment, the blue car came back. Feng Yun opened the door and walked over to him, while the reporter crew got off with amazing reactions on their faces. The two who got the first ride directly took off the leave and did not stay for the lunch offered by Yang Dao. They wanted to get this report done and the video recording to be shown in the prime time news.

It was not daily that you get to ride in a driverless vehicle. The biggest fears they had in their mind and hearts were all resolved. This was a treasure they have discovered. How can they miss time to flex it in front of the world?

Yang Dao did not mind this as well. The sooner things get done, the better. Icarus and Ray took turns taking the teams for the lap around the block. The reporters who were waiting took this opportunity to ask Yang Dao more questions. The boy happily answered them. Yet he did not reveal any sensitive information.

In an hour, every team of reporters had taken a lap in the car. They were all eager to leave when Yang Dao said, “Before you all leave, I have a favor to ask you all.”

…

In the evening, when the prime time news was broadcasted, many people were watching the telecasts. Yang Dao and Feng Yun sat in front of the television. Icarus, Ray, Mary, and Yurika all were invited over for the evening as well.

Mary has been to the Dao Courtyard Mansion in the past. Yurika, however, was stunned. When has she ever been to such a luxurious and refreshing place? NEVER. If not for Yang Dao holding her hand tightly, she would have run around yelling like a kid.

She still asked him in a whisper when she entered, “Say, you have so many rooms, can you not rent me one?”

Yang Dao was left between tears and chuckles. Right now, everyone was focused on the reports of the products on the news channels. Soon the presenter said, “Now about the technological field. Dao Technologies, a young company headed by an equally young president, Feng Yang Dao, today came out with two new products. One of them is a mobile assistant, while the other is a driverless car…”

The report continued and before completing the report, the official website was announced. The report finished and the people all had tea or compressed juices celebration, suddenly after ten minutes, Mary received a phone call. Her smiling face dampened after the call. Feng Yun asked, “What is it?” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

Mary sighed as she replied, “Young Master’s challenge for cracking the System security was accepted by over ten thousand programmers in ten minutes. I don’t know if it is a piece of good news or bad.”

Feng Yun and the rest cast a gaze at Yang Dao, who was busy drooling over the snacks. Suddenly the boy felt a lot of gazes pointed at him and he flinched, “What?”

Yurika snapped, “You big foodie, I can kidnap you with a bunch of chicken dumplings as bait. Now your challenge of cracking the system has been accepted. What do you want to say? We have ten thousand applicants. More counting.”

Yang Dao smiled and said, “It is a good thing. I already had some cards up my sleeve. Hehe, Madam Mary, you can start the registration and let the challengers sign the contracts, they can start fighting tomorrow morning. Don’t worry at all.” his tone was confident.

Mary cast a glance at Feng Yun, who nodded without a change on her face. How will she question Yang Dao? So, this thing was settled, Mary left with Yurika, while Icarus and Ray also left the mansion. Their leave from the college has ended. Also, they will submit the algorithms they designed back as their projects.

As everyone left, Yang Dao sighed and went back to his room with an excuse to rest. Feng Yun gazed at his back. She knew he was feeling low about not being able to go to college. She picked her phone and went inside her room. She failed Ryu Jinshi’s number first. The call connected, and a cold voice sounded. “Xiao Yun, is it urgent?”

Feng Yun asked, “When can Young master go back to college?” her tone was enough to tell Ryu Jinshi all he needed to know.

He said, “It should not be a problem now. Ask Xiao Bai to can Tiberius. He will make the arrangements. Young Master is a talent he recruited, is it not his face being slapped. He will make the arrangements for his security. Okay?”

Feng Yun nodded and disconnected the call. She called Laohu Bai, but it was out of reach. She opened a drawer on the side table next to her bed. Inside the drawer was a satellite phone. She did not hesitate and called the only contact saved inside.

…

In a silent warehouse, unknown location. Laohu Bai was shaking her head. She said, “Lin, wrap up, we go home…” her words were interrupted by a sudden call she received on her satellite phone. She picked up and asked, “Sister Yun, missing me?”

The other side said something, and she replied, “Yeah, don’t worry. I will have this done tomorrow. he can go back to college the day after. Also, give him my congratulation. I watched the event a few minutes ago. he looked dapper in the suit.” she started gossiping not affected by the dead bodies, blood and scattered limbs around her.

She was out of the country on a task. The call disconnected, and Feng Yun stood up. She walked out of her room and went straight to the kitchen. She wanted to appease Yang dao with some good food tonight. After an hour of effort, she cooked by herself, scaring the maids. She even pushed the trolley to Yang Dao’s room. Just as she was about to knock, her hand froze.

A strong aura was radiating from behind the door. Feng Yun glanced down at her feet. She sensed a strong air current just now. A smile appeared on her face. She mumbled, “The wind of resolve. Good.”

…

Inside the room, Yang dao was sitting cross-legged and his body was glowing with a light blue glow. The boy had assimilated the source energy of the wind element inside his body after swearing that he will not use his powers for harm. He has stepped into the first stage of an Elemental Contractor.

Now he can bend the element, not only like currents or streams but into shapes. Such as spheres, cyclones, swords, and knives. He was now a beginner Elemental Contractor. Unknowingly, a smile surfaced on his face when he advanced.
