The Urban Dao Child

The car was silent, and Sasha's driving skills were also stable. After three hours, they reached their destination. It looks like a small town in the valley but in the center of the town stood a red monument with a dome-style ceiling.

Yang Dao looked out of the window and asked, "This architecture, Sasha, is your family the descendants of the ancient empire of Droga?"

Sasha smiled, "As expected of Young Master Feng, cultured and well informed. Yes, my family comes from the line of the ancient empire." Her voice was devoid of any pride. After all, in the modern world, it did not matter whether they were the royal descendants from thousands of years ago.

Yang Dao hummed a bit and said, "That is good. Since you are the royal linage, your family has some say in this region. Can you arrange a meeting with the person in charge of the family matters and also business matters?"

Sasha was surprised but recalling the promise he made to the bandit beauty, Marian. She realized where this was heading. She said, "The household is managed by my grandma. My father and aunt handle the business. I can arrange for them to talk to you before the training camp starts. But Dao, is it really important for you to help those bandits?"

The boy leaned back in the seat and said, "You may have not noticed, the hope that flickered in her eyes when we let her go. I can tell you that someone as educated and well-mannered and tough as her doesn't want to do it. Eric, if I am correct, none of the robbed people ever have been mistreated, except for the three people she said."

The man nodded as he said, "Yes, Young Master Feng, the Orlenko family received reports of the wealthy being robbed, but it was never about the people mistreating them or anything. Yes, they may have used harsh words, but that was all to scare the people."

Yang Dao nodded and said, "Sasha, you have your answer, also if any effort of mine can make people happy, then what is the problem. If those with strength cannot help those without it, then what is even the use of having it?"

The people became silent again. The bandit beauty has already been dropped from the car a couple of hours ago. Yang Dao left her with his contact number. He asked her to call him at night, by then he was confident to arrange things for them.

Sasha turned from the car and entered the town. Followed by the rest of the town. Yang Dao asked, "Sasha, this place is remote so why does your family stay here?"

Sasha said, "It is because of my great grandfather. he said that the Orlenko empire used to be in the diamond desert so he decided that the people of the family will live here. Unless it is for education or business, they should stay here and cultivate themselves. he used to say that remoteness can connect you to nature and then you can be a better human being. I wonder if he was correct."

Yang Dao wanted to say something but thinking that Sasha could not understand him, the boy kept silent. he gazed out of the window and saw the domes getting bigger and closer in his sight.

Soon, the convoy entered the huge metal gates of the mansion. Sasha drove them to the front porch. and got down. Yang Dao also got down. He saw an old woman wearing a white fur coat standing at the door. The lady had snow-white hair tied neatly in a thick bun, her face had wrinkles but she looked exquisite. Her blue eyes were like Sasha's. She held a cane in her hand and smiled when she saw the blonde girl coming forward.

The rest of the cars also stopped behind them and the people got off looking around at the landscape. The old lady said, "Sasha, my dear. Come to grandma." as she raised her hand.

Sasha skipped and hugged the old lady. She said, "Grandma, let me introduce you to my friends and seniors."

She gestured to Ayaka, Thomas, Ray, Felix, and then finally she came to Yang Dao's side and said, "This young man is Feng Yang Dao. He has a lot of achievements and identities but today he is the savior of our convoy."

Yang Dao glared at her and said in a low voice, "Since when did you became infected by Icarus Syndrome."

Sasha only giggled. She never used to talk with anyone much. Back in the jade city school, she hated snobs and only Kiya was her friend. She first was hesitant about talking to Yang Dao as well. Women seldom take the initiative, especially the beautiful ones, who are rich. They have an innate arrogance. But after being in touch with the boy in the classes and the gathering. They have become sort of good friends.

The old lady asked in a cold voice, "Eric, what happened to the hostage you took/"

Eric bowed slightly and said, "Young Master Feng, let her go."

The old lady turned her sharp eyes to the boy and asked, "What gave you the right to let someone, who attacked my granddaughter go?" her tone was calm yet her words were harsh.

The atmosphere turned somber suddenly. Nobody expected such a thing to happen right after introductions.

The boy gazed into the old lady's eyes calmly and said, "I captured her, got us out, that enough is capable to allow me what to do with her. There is another factor, strength." Dao Child did not have any ego, but if someone dares to look down on him, his ego is not smaller than the planet they live on.

The old lady said, "Is that, how you talk to your elders?" her tone became cold.

The boy followed, "It depends on the way my elders look at me. Just because they are born a few years earlier, does not make me respect them. I respect those who respect me. The way you just spoke now, was rude."

The situation was about to get fired up when suddenly the old lady smiled, "Good, you qualify to be my grandson-in-law. Sasha, you found yourself a good man."

The scene fell silent. It was so silent that even the cold breeze blowing past became audible.
