The Urban Dao Child

Yang Dao and the people shopped and came back to the orphanage. The boy got the people to buy one dress for each child in the orphanage. The locality has changed a lot in the past year. There was a time when a b-grade brand used to be an exclusivity symbol of the city, and today they could find anything here.

After shopping, the people went back to the orphanage. Nina and Tina began to run around and flex the gifts Yang Dao bought for them. The Dao Child changed his clothes and so did Lisa in an adjacent room beside him. The girl walked out of her room and she found Yang Dao standing outside her room with a calm expression.

She asked, “Master, something I can do?”

Yang Dao nodded and said, “Let’s go. Time to check on the slave collectors kept here. Also, do you remember how you ended up in the new dawn facility?”

Lisa was surprised but after the initial moment, she nodded and said, “It may be that we were children that they did not take us much seriously. Also, I was not forced into it. My father just told me that these people will take me to a better place and that was it. There were a lot of children similar to me.”

Yang Dao nodded and said, “Come, let us go.”

Lisa nodded and the two people left the orphanage in the name of touring the city. Yang Dao was dressed in a white shirt and blue jeans, while Lisa had a beige skirt put on with a pair of white sneakers. She looked very fresh and sunny. Sister Tina thought that Yang Dao has fallen in love with this girl and thus he had brought her over to see the place he grew up in.

Lisa was a beautiful girl and paired with her mellow voice, she was just an angel in human form. The two people walked through the streets with smiles on their faces and talked about what the specialties of the places were. They gave off the perfect illusion of a loving young couple.

Suddenly, Lisa turned into an inconspicuous alley. Yang Dao followed her quickly as well. None of the people noticed them. The young couple inside the alley was still together,, but they looked more like grim reapers. The smiles were gone, and they radiated a cold aura.

Lisa was in the lead to guide them to the place where the slave collectors were kept. This operation was done completely old-school. At least the rest of the world had no idea about this. RALF was an exception. It was his system that trailed these people back to their holes and burrows. ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀ​ꪶ​

Only the four people under Laohu Bai knew about the mission. They all had been given a prior leave on paper. In the damp and derelict alley, a burly man sat leaning against the wall. Beside the man, a dingy maroon door was visible.

Yang Dao said, “Sir, do you know it is not right to slack off on-duty hours?”

The burly man raised his head and said, “Kid, you seem to be looking for a beating?”

Yang Dao chuckled, and the man stood up. The Dao child did a military salute, and the man returned his salute. The burly man was none other than Talen. Lisa said in a cold voice, “Sir, you cannot do anything to Master. His strength is higher than Madam Bai’s.”

With that said, Lisa opened the door and got inside, leaving the two men awkward. Yang Dao sighed, “I will have to ask Baibai, what did she do to my cute Lisa.”

Talen was left standing listlessly on the spot. He did not think that in one year this boy will be leaving him and his idol in the dust. Yang Dao got inside the door and found a dark, steep staircase leading down. He walked down slowly, but his steps were calm. He could sense the movement ahead. He could distinguish everyone.

Kaya and Lin were greeting Lisa, while Victor was keeping an eye on five people locked behind the bars. As he reached the end of the stairs and he saw Kaya walking up to him. The lady had a smile on her face. Yang Dao smiled and saluted her and Kaya returned him the salute. She said, “Captain Yang, will you be needing a detailed report about these scums?”

The boy heard this and nodded. He was interested in what sort of people was he going to deal with. Kaya handed him a device that looked like a pen and Yang Dao pressed the button on top of it, a screen extended to the side of it. The boy read the data displayed on the screen and gradually the surrounding wind became calm.

The people all noticed his change and were aware that it was the calm before a storm. The people were indulged in all sorts of malpractices, arson, rape, robbery, murders, extortion, drug cartel, piracy. Then two among these people were said to be the most wanted human traffickers. They also had a foot set in the organ business. They smuggled the human organs of the dreaded people.

The reason why they were called the slave collectors was that they kidnapped children from small towns and remote villages and sold them to the New Dawn, sometimes if they took the fancy of a child and even him or her as their plaything. The details were accompanied by a few heart-shaking pictures. Glorifying the horrendous deeds of the group.

Yang Dao asked, “The source of this information?”

Lin replied from the side, “Confessed. However, they do not plan to unveil secrets related to the New Dawn. What do you think we should do?”

Yang Dao said decisively, “If I let Lisa in with them, then these guys will confess it all. I do not wish for them to have such an easy time. I am going inside. Please do not enter till I say so. You can rest assured, I will leave you a live subject.. Lisa, you are to watch the procedure. Do you understand?”
