Chapter 43 - Realization.
Everyone in the canteen was terrified when they saw Yang Dao bursting in rage. The student who Yang Dao sat down with at first was Mikhail’s pawn in the college. He was there when the so-called victim threatened Yang Dao. He hastily merged in the crowd. Took out his cellphone and dialed Mikhail’s number.
Mikhail had asked all his contacts to gather the information regarding what happened. So he responded to the call in a blink. Before he could ask anything. The nameless student spoke up, “Boss, Yang Dao was eating his food in the canteen when some guy came out and said…” he narrated the whole scene and even Mikhail was pissed off to a new high.
He said, “You will be awarded later. Let me deal with these bugs first.” the call disconnected. This student was from a mediocre household and he was very good at management. Mikhail scouted him during an event organization. This guy handled things with gusto and if he could not understand or do something by himself. He would ask for help with no hesitation. Well, luck is also a part of people’s strength.
Mikhail understood the gravity of the matter and he decided to go to Yang Dao personally. While in the canteen. An injured student was kneeling on the ground with Yang Dao’s stare focused on him. Icarus stood behind Yang Dao. He tried to speak to Yang Dao to calm down but the latter only gave him one word in reply, ‘SHUT UP’
Fortunately, the voice was low or things would have been awkward. Soon, 30 minutes passed. Yang Dao picked up his phone, he dialed Feng Yun’s number. This moment he was not the genial sunny Young Master. He was a young man in a rage. The call connected. Yang Dao’s emotions were sensed by Feng Yun half an hour ago through the spiritual bond.
She did not say a word and waited for Yang Dao’s command. Yang Dao narrated the whole scene and in the end, he said, “Return them in kind.”
Feng Yun only replied, “Yes, Young Master.”
The plan of action was simple, anyone who was loved by the culprit will suffer. Feng Yun dialed a number from her phone and instructed the person to get things done. The person she contacted was the head of a part of her private forces. The wings. This force had a lot of people, both elementals and muggles. The one she called was the muggle division.
Elemntalists cannot harm common civilians without discretion. Thus, she developed the muggle division to counter the commoners in her way. They were also the ones who collected the evidence on the big-shots. This organization was loyal to Feng Yun even in their deaths. They were all picked up by Feng Yun in times of dire need and never did Feng Yun asked them to do anything immoral or disrespectful.
Today they were tasked by Feng Yun to locate the culprit and make them feel the pain of losing a loved one. The task was accepted. The forces were mobilized immediately. Yang Dao waited patiently in the canteen. He trusted Feng Yun’s efficiency. No one in the canteen was leaving. Icarus sat down on the table and asked Yang Dao, “You are not eating all this? Such a waste of Aunt Mellow’s food. I will help you.” and started eating the food.
Yang Dao had his gaze locked on the boy kneeling before him. He asked, “Who sent you?” his calm voice was akin to a whisper of death.
The boy shivered and only shook his head. Yang Dao smiled, “Either you are too forced to do this or you are too loyal. If it is the former, you will be spared but if you are the latter…” Yang Dao leaned forward with his elbows resting on his thighs and said, “You should accompany your master as a loyal servant should.”
The Dao Child was a representative of a lot of things. In his past lives, his soul suffered a lot of torment but never complained. So the heavens empowered him with a karmic nature. Someone who crosses his bottom line will be paid in kind. Yang Dao would do to them what they did to him.
A figure rushed inside the canteen parted the crowd and came to Yang Dao. He panted and said, “Young Master Feng, I apologize for my insufficiency. The culprit, even though has been discovered. I could not touch him. He is hiding inside his family.”
Yang Dao asked, “Who is it?”
Mikhail replied, “Carole Dimitri, member of the high table, also the CEO of Kratz Consortium. His family is as wealthy as mine but their security is too heavy and I could not send my men to death. I apologize to you. He opposed the others to join in and recorrect. He also allied with some others.”
Yang Dao spoke, “This is not your fault. I won’t hold you responsible for the sake of your men. But from today, there will be no high-table. There will be no rich club. YOu people formed a group to maintain your hegemony but now it is done for. Do you have any opinions?”
Mikhail found that Yang Dao was somewhat different from before. He thought it was because of the anger. He did not mind the abolishment of the club as it was already a mess. His friends will stay his friends regardless the club exists or not. He nodded in agreement. Yang Dao’s phone rang. He picked it up with a swipe.
“Young Master, the culprit will be in front of you in five minutes?” it was Feng Yun. Her voice was calm.
Yang Dao asked, “How did you do it?”
Feng Yun narrated the whole process.

Her forces acted, they tracked Mikhail’s trail leading to Carole Dimitri. They were told to hurt Carole’s loved ones. They researched and found out that Mr. Dimitri loved his mother a lot. The second person was his 6 years old niece. His sister was also on the list but the lady happened to be out of town.
A few minutes ago, Mrs. Dimitri was holding onto a young girl’s hand as she picked her up from school. Despite being rich, Mrs. Dimitri was a virtuous woman. She would donate a huge amount of money for the welfare of poor people. She was a woman in her late forties. Her husband passed away a few years ago from cancer. Since then the business responsibility is shared by her son and daughter. Her daughter was married to a common man, whom she fell in love with during her college time. The man was now working in another city and was well off, by his own efforts.
As Mrs. Dimitri picked up her grand-daughter, a man approached her and said, “Madam, please come along with us. We have something you need to see.”
Mrs. Dimitri countered, “Who are you? Why should I come with you?”
The man replied, “I work for Mr. Carole, he met an accident and is now in hospital. He sent me to lead you there right away.”
A mother’s love is her greatest strength and also her greatest weakness. As soon as she heard her child being in an accident she forgot everything and with her grand-daughter, boarded the man’s car. The vehicle had a partition raised between the back seat and the front. As soon as the doors were locked a fruity gas was released. This gas made the two passengers lose consciousness.
The man then drove away. While in the meantime, the Dimitri mansion was visited by an infiltration expert. This person put a brocade box in front of Carole Dimitri’s study and after knocking on the door loudly he walked away.
Carole Dimitri opened the door in irritation. He was looking at some documents at the moment when the door was knocked. He found a wooden brocade box on the ground with a tag on it. With regards.
He picked it up and inside were the pictures of his family being kidnapped and two fingers. Beneath all this was a note that said, ‘DON’T WORRY THESE ARE FAKE FINGERS. IF YOU DID NOT APOLOGIZE PERSONALLY, WE WILL SEND BACK THE WHOLE PERSON NEXT TIME. JUST IN THE CONDITION, YOU MENTIONED TO US. DEAD’
These words shocked Carole to the depth of his heart. He knew who did it and why. He did not even put on his shoes and ran barefoot to the garage, pushed the driver away, and took out his car heading straight to the university.
They did all this within twenty minutes. This operating efficiency is enough to describe how string the wings were.
…
Yang Dao’s anger calmed down. He said, “Thank you, Sister Yun.”
Feng Yun smiled when she sensed Yang Dao calming down. She said, “It my purpose to help you, Young Master. Also, the batch of equipment has been dispatched and it will arrive by the evening.”
Yang Dao nodded and after a brief chat they disconnected the call. As soon as he put down the phone, a man ran up to him. He was bare foot his hair were in disorder, seemingly from being handled by the man in anxiety.
The man knelt down right away and said, “Young Master Feng, please forgive me. I did not recognize your strength. Please let…” before he could plead for the release of his mother and niece.
Mikhail snorted and said in a cold voice, “Dimitri, be sensible about what to say or what not to say.” his words were a warning. If the people got to know how Yang Dao dealt with this matter it would be a blemish on his name. Mikhail wanted to avoid it.
Yang Dao spoke, “I did not do anything to them because I do not instigate innocents in my problems. Specially those who are not related to me. Do you now feel the fear of something like that happening to you?”
Carole only nodded as he kept looking down on the ground. Yang Dao spoke, “Mr. Dimitri, your mother is a virtuous woman. Your father was also an upright man. He was ana example among the rich class. He never forgot his roots but you, money made you smear the name of your father and his deeds. Believe it when I say, you are the sin of your family. If it would have been someone arrogant then they would have already sent you the people back. You should know what theircondition would have been or even worse. Sometimes life is a greater nightmare than death. I will give you one chance. Go back home, donate 50% of you wealth to good causes and I will spare the people. The choice is yours.” his voice was low and the facts he stated earlier woke up Carole.
He nodded and rushed back home. Within an hour 50% of assets and money of the Dimitri family was donated to nationwide charities and his mother and niece were sent back. When he met them, the two told him that they were scared by such an excuse to send them to a spa with surprise. They were also very proud of him for donating the money.
Carole finally realized what it feels to share happiness. He has never seen his mother look at him with a proud look. Although she loved her a lot, she was not proud of such a money minded son. THis fact became clear and the dust settled.
