The Urban Dao Child

Yang Dao was still on the road when RALF spoke in his Bluetooth earphone, "Administrator, Miss Feng Yun has made the intruder vanish."

The boy understood what might have happened. RALF suddenly asked, "Administrator, I have been trying to look for a reason behind how the people can do such things. However, the result always turns out empty."

Given his IQ, Yang Dao understood what the program was talking about. He replied, "In the future, I will tell you what it is RALF but for now we must do one very important thing."

"What is it, Administrator?" asked RALF with the mechanical voice.

"Track down the origin of these people and then have them pay for their actions," said Yang Dao. His tone was firm and his words were straight.

RALF immediately accepted the test and got to work. Lisa called him to tell him that they have reached the Dao courtyard mansion. She also told him that Frieda was still a little shaken from the leopards' presence, but overall fine.

Yang Dao nodded and parked his bike in front of Dao Technologies' office. He got off and used the elevator to go to the top floor, where Feng Yun was waiting for him. Nobody needed to tell him anything. He could sense her presence. Calmly, he walked out of the elevator and came to his cabin where Feng Yun was reading some work files on her digital tablet.

She was about to stand up when Yang Dao waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Why do you have to be so formal with me, Sister Yun?"

The girl smiled and said, "Well, manners are not a formality, Dao."

Yang Dao smiled and asked, "What about the intruder?"

Feng Yun shrugged and said, "Incinerated."

The boy nodded as if nothing happened. The phoenix gazed at him and asked, "Did you find out why we are against these people?"

Yang Dao nodded with a poker face. He did not sit down and turned to look outside the floor-to-ceiling window. He said, "We need to move against the organization behind this. I do not wish to see them becoming a hindrance. Today this guy you dealt with visited the residency first. Almost got Senior Frieda and Lisa. Thankfully, RALF noticed him and alerted me earlier."

Feng Yun nodded and said, "Dao, we also want to deal with their people, but the hand pulling the strings is not something we can deal with. It is your job to do so, and this hand is not easy to cut off. Do you know the fifth stage of elementalists? The elemental god, it sounds almighty but in reality, that person can beat us easily, shall we confront him?"

Yang Dao was surprised. He asked, "How can there be such an existence? You are the heavenly divine beast."

Feng Yun smiled and said, "None under the heavens are invincible, and I did not say that none of us is the match of the other party. You see, everything in this world has weight, and every weight has a counterweight. So, if that guy is weight, you are the counterweight. We can deal with his people, but only you can deal with him. Also, to do that you need to master all the laws and all the elements first."

Yang Dao calmed down. He recalled how when they first met, Feng Yun told him not to worry too much and that she will tell him all this when the time comes. Yang Dao trusted her. He has always known that the familiar spirits were his guides, those who would point at the path but whether he will take it or not depends on him.

This belief of his was even firmer as he came back from the sacred realm. In the chronicles of light and dark, he has read how the White Tiger spirit pointed out the way for his predecessors, they followed the path in the being but still in the end they all chose their own mind and heart leading to them being deviated from the path of Dao.

The boy sighed and said, "I shall wait for the time, however, these guys will still pay a little amount of their follies."

Feng Yun nodded calmly. She did not mind him smoking the snake hole a bit. Yang Dao said, "RALF, did you track it down?"

A computerized voice echoed in his ear from the earphone, "Tracking results have come out, Administrator. The location is an extremely remote forest of the crypto nation."

"How did you track it down?" asked Yang Dao.

The machine replied, "Hacked inside the Crypto cyber police servers and found out that these people were all their people. These are criminals on death row. Somehow, they vanished from the prison and were experimented on by the new dawn. Although they have left no paper trail, they did leave some leaks in the dark."

Yang Dao nodded and said, "Release this data to the whole world, anonymously. Hack the crypto nation stock market, make them shiver."

RALF had been learning about human slang and had been surfing urban lingo, so he understood what Yang Dao meant and got to work. Feng Yun said, "Why are you punishing the whole nation? Do you not think that there may be some people who are innocent in all this?"

Yang Dao realized that this was his mistake, he said, "RALF, check down every single stock market account holder and investor if they have no dirty stains on themselves, then you will note them down and after the whole process is completed, you will have their funds ejected back before you choke the market."

RALF replied, "Understood, Administrator."

Yang Dao smiled at Feng Yun. The latter shook her head and said, "You shall start perceiving the earth element. This time, I will not help you. If you have any questions, then you will ask the eldest. He will be your guide this time. Okay?"

The boy nodded and returned to gaze out of the window as if nothing happened. Actually, the hyper-human invasion this time did not fail.

...

In the crypto nation, a man with glasses said, "Hm, turns out they passed the test with flying colors. However, we have no information about the guy who acted. Keeping low. I like this opponent."
