The Urban Dao Child. Chapter 9
Advertisement
Yang Dao had already left the crowd with Feng Yun. The police arrested Bryan Carlos, and the news leaked. Feng Yun's employee Tim had already passed on the news to the other shareholders of the hotel, and they all gratefully grabbed the olive branch extended by Feng Yun. They all escorted the police to hand over the signed agreement to Feng Yun.
Feng Yun collected the documents and dismissed these low people. She passed on the documents to Yang Dao. It was clearly stated that Yang Dao is now the sole owner of The Paradise Hotel. Yang Dao was afraid that this purchase might make things difficult for Feng Yun, so he asked, "Sister Yun, will this purchase not make things difficult for you? I mean, the money you spent just now seems to be a big amount."
Feng Yun was surprised to hear Yang Dao call her sister Yun. After all, she has stated that her identity is that of his servant. Yet Yang Dao still addressed her as a sister. This gesture made her feel warm, and she said, "Young Master, there are no shareholders in the Phoenix group. I never allowed the shares to be on sale to safeguard my interests. Though, I provide some higher-level employees with a bonus equivalent to the share purchase value every year. I still own the hundred percent. So don't worry about the money I spent. It is all mine."
Yang Dao was shocked and wanted to ask her how did she make such a powerful and rich business empire at such a young age, but his stomach grumbled a bit. A faint blush surfaced on his face, and he turned his face sideways to avoid Feng Yun's gaze. The girl following behind him witnessed this. She could not help but giggle covering her mouth. She spoke, "Young Master, how about we have lunch? There are a lot of good places in Jade Capital City."

Yang Dao pondered a bit. He did not have any classes today, and even if he had, after all the commotion he would not want to go. He looked at Feng Yun and said, "Can I see your office? I still have a lot of questions and given that this matter is sensitive. I think it is better to discuss it in a safe place."
Feng Yun was more than happy. To be true, she was also looking for a way to have Yang Dao come along with her. This was necessary. Being together will help her watch over his security and also teach him about the elements and the rules. Also, Yang Dao needed to sharpen his brain. His thinking of lying low is just instinctive to avoid troubles but just like today, it will follow him because no matter where he goes he will stand out of the crowd like a ruby shining in a pile of diamonds. So sharpening his mind was necessary. He was intelligent, but cruelty is not always something used to harm others. It can also defend yourself.
Feng Yun said, "Young Master, how about we use the helicopter. It will be quick and easy to get to my office in thirty minutes."
Yang Dao nodded and said, "Okay, but can we grab some snacks from the dispensing machine? I am starving. Last meal I had was a meat bun and a glass of milk." his tone was pitiful. He was starving. Feng Yun saw this and a smile surfaced on her face. She nodded and accompanied Yang Dao to the snack dispensing machine in the corridor near the dormitory. He was going to ask the dorm supervisor for a night pass. The supervisor did not know him personally, so he found nothing peculiar in this operation. It was normal for a young boy to come to the capital and go out and have fun. Plus that beauty Feng Yun followed Yang Dao like a tail. The warden even whispered in Yang Dao's ear.

"Youngster, it is okay to be energetic but buy some balloons on the way." his tone was very serious and righteous, as if he just gave Yang Dao some world saving advice. If he knew that the woman she was speaking about was the queen or tycoons in the nation, wonder if he would have died from the fright alone.
Yang Dao came to Feng Yun who stood at a distance with a perplexed expression. Feng Yun asked in concern, "Young Master, is there anything wrong?"
Yang Dao was a teenager, and he trusted Feng Yun. The reason was the spiritual bond between them. He said, "Sister Yun, why does the warden ask me to buy balloons? Do I look like a child going to the amusement park?"
Feng Yun blushed severely and turned back to find the warden, but the man had already returned to the office. She thought to herself, 'Bastard, how dare you influence my Young Master with such shitty advice. Don't let me find you or you will regret being alive.'
When they came back to the ground where Feng Yun had her helicopter land Yang dao met the Principal and the heads of department. Almost all the big shots of the college administration were present here. They all were alarmed by a helicopter coming in suddenly. They found out that Tyson and other rich pants were trying to bully Yang Dao, their treasured genius, so they deliberately delayed themselves. Now that the matter was resolved by Feng Yun, they had to come and show due gratitude.
Brad McQueen took the lead and greeted Feng Yun. He spoke, "It is our honor to be visited by one of the most prestigious alumni of our college."
Feng Yun nodded and shook hands with the principal. She spoke, "It feels good to come back but some things do not change at all. The snob club is still the snob club."
The principal put on a bitter smile. He wanted to invite Feng Yun for a cup of tea, but the offer was mercilessly shot down as soon as it took a breath in the free world. The gun was in her pretty mouth, and the bullet was called work. She just told them that Yang Dao was her Young master and Phoenix Group was his. Then without waiting for the matter to drag, she asked Yang Dao to get on the helicopter.
Under several complicated, bitter, envious, hateful gazes he and Feng Yun flew away in a luxury helicopter.

Exuperius [DISCONTINUED]
Terravest. The northernmost continent of the world known by many names of legend, but is most commonly reffered to as Athora, has, for eons, served as the land of exiles. Human criminals, dark elves, grayskinned orcs and dwarves that preffer mining with machinery over the traditional pickaxe alike, have come to call this half-frozen hellhole their home. It is a land of great strife, calamity and crisis, where one legendary tale ends only to begin the next, heroes fall down and villains find themselves thrown into lava. Around seventy years ago, a legendary figure appeared out of seemingly nowhere and conquered three human nations, forming a kingdom worthy enough of being called a small empire. However, at the eve of his heirs ascension, the legend breathed his last, leaving this same bloated, chaotic realm without the pillar that kept it together. Already, the carrion nobility, still spiteful for being denied their "rightful" place below the sun, rise up and gather at the court, each eager to consolidate their own power in these troubled times. Tempers flare, power is exercised without restraint and no one expects the hedonistic prince to succeed at keeping the realm together. Alas, as is often the case with such tales, not everything seems to be as it might at first appear and the vain lords of the realm may yet come to regret their carrion will. --- The Content Warnings are there for a good reason. ---
