The Urban Dao Child

Yang Dao stopped the bike at the side of the road. Sapphire lake was relatively untouched by traffic and only VIPs lived here. The phone showed it was a missed call. The caller was Feng Yun. Yang Dao glanced back to see if the team is here and dialed the call.

The call connected just after one ring. Feng Yun spoke in a slightly tired voice, “Young Master, I was busy when you called. Mary did pass me your message. I suggest that you don’t really need to pay mind to these people. I will call them later.”

Yang Dao spoke, “Sister Yun, send someone to pick me up. I will cook for you, and also, I have something to discuss with you.” his tone was excited. Feng Yun was more than happy for arranging this task. She replied, “I will deploy the chopper eight away Young Master.”

Yang Dao nodded and disconnected the call. The cycling team entered Sapphire Lake road. They saw Yang Dao standing in front of them waving. Thomas stopped and behind him the entire team. Yang Dao said, “Captain, it is not very good for us to be practicing at this pace.”

Thomas smiled bitterly and said, “Yeah, but we cannot block the roads. Or come out at late hours. The university doesn’t allow this.”

Yang Dao sighed and said, “How about we all first discuss this matter thoroughly and try to come up with a solution?”

Thomas looked at the team. These guys were the seniors and they understood the crux of the situation. After the third and the second year people nodded in agreement, Thomas nodded to Yang Dao. He said, “Let’s get back to the club and we will talk there.”

Yang Dao shook his head and said, “No need, I live nearby, let’s go to my place. It will be better and also will save time. Plus I can arrange a gym for the Club.”

Thomas nodded and Yang Dao rode his bike again leading the team to the Sapphire Lake Residency. Thomas and the rest were shocked. As for Icarus, his heart was beating in his mouth at this moment because this residency was not a place where just everyone could live. The owners in this residency will have to go through a proper background check, and two rounds of interviews. The building company reserves all the rights to evict them at any moment they are found to violate the terms and conditions of the agreement.

Yet some dignified military officials, judges, police officers, Movie stars, Celebrities, Even government officials lived in this residency. Thomas asked Yang Dao, “Dao, do you live here?”

Yang Dao was unaware of all this and just nodded. He entered the residency gate but the guards stopped the team behind. Yang Dao spoke, “Big brother, they are my guests.”

The guard was surprised at first then he saw that it was Yang Dao, who called him big brother. He immediately saluted and spoke, “I apologize Young Master.” he wanted to talk more when Yang Dao shook his head and said, “It’s okay, you were doing your job. Can you let them enter now?”

The guard did not dare delay and nodded. He quickly let the others pass. Only when Yang Dao vanished in his eyes did he heaved a sigh of relief. He spoke to the other guards, “What do you think will he do about my neglection?” ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

The other guard who saw Yang Dao the day before spoke, “Doesn’t look like Young Master, will complain, as you were doing your duty but be careful from the next time around.”

The guard nodded as he wiped the sweat off his forehead. Yang Dao led the team to the underground parking designated for him. He asked them all to park the bikes here as he parked his bike there as well. This nonchalant action of his made other people almost killing him. Icarus spoke, “Dao, can you please take your own bike upstairs?”

Yang Dao looked at him weirdly, said, “Why? Space here is big and also, the security is good. Why should I take it up?”

Icarus spoke gritting his teeth, “You know that this bike is worth 2 billion carat coins (currency of the Jewel nation). Yang Dao seemed to have understood his intent so he sighed and helplessly pushed the bike to the elevator. The elevator was big enough for ten people. So 9 of them boarded with the bike standing between them easily. 3 people were left so they asked to come up later. Yang Dao told them that this elevator only goes to his floor and they can just walk in and it will lead them upstairs.

The elevator moved and soon they arrived at the top floor of the building where Yang Dao lived. Above this level was just the Helipad. Yang Dao fished out the key card and entered the house while pushing his bike. Behind him, the team also entered and when they saw the decoration they were hesitant to take a step further. Yang Dao said, “Come, you guys decide where to sit down. I will park the bike in the balcony area.”

He did as he spoke, opening the slider door to the balcony her pushed the bike out. Leaned it against a floor-to-ceiling window pane and came back inside the gazes of his mentally numb teammates. The other three people also arrived at this moment. They all sat down and Yang dao served them with some juice. He said, “I think the university had given a basic gym to every club right? Why don’t we have one?”

Ray the third-year sprinter spoke, “We had one but those rich club members acquired it forcefully last year. Thomas had to sit out of the preliminary round of the Inter-university club.”

Yang Dao nodded and he picked up his phone. He dialed the number Mikhail called him with. The other side responded quite quickly. “Hello. Are you calling to give me an answer, Yang Dao?”

Yang Dao spoke in a cold voice, “Mr. Mikhail Goldberg. Does your father really want to have a meal with me?”

Mikhail sensed the chill in his tone and spoke earnestly, “Yes, he really wants to have a meal with you.”

Yang Dao spoke, “Then first, you see that the members of your Rich Club are in line. I don’t like to interact with gangsters, who hurt others and acquire their rightful assets.” with that said he disconnected the call. The rest of the people looked at him as if he was a monster. Yang Dao did not bother and picked up the intercom.

Luna replied from the other side and he asked, “Miss Luna, can I have ten servings of Salmon Sushi, large mixed fruit juice, and chocolates sent to my place?”

Luna told him that the food will arrive in 15 minutes. Yang Dao put down the receiver. Another call rang, it was Thomas’s phone. He nodded and after the second his face was blooming like a sunflower. He disconnected the call and said, “The bear called, they returned the gym to us.”

The rest of the people cheered. Mikhail called Yang Dao again. Yang Dao smiled and let the call ring until the last second and he picked it up. Mikhail spoke first, “Student Yang Dao, this is my neglection. I apologize for the behavior of the club members.”

Yang Dao was not in the mood to listen to his bootlicking and said, “Tomorrow noon, your father and any of his friends are invited to the Ruby Tower. We will have a meal in the cafeteria. Please don’t look down on the cafeteria the chef is a 7-star expert.” and with this, he disconnected the call.

AT this moment the doorbell rang. The food has arrived.
