The Urban Dao Child. Chapter 9

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.

A King in the Clouds
Tanlar. A cruel, repulsive, and foul word. It meant untitled, officially, but it also meant ungifted, unable, unworthy, unnecessary, unhuman. It was more a curse than a term, a badge only the damned and condemned wore. To be a tanlar was to know your life, your entire being, was insignificant. Once Kaizer had resigned himself to such a fate, but those times had passed. He may have been untitled, but he was anything but untalented. He refused to scrape by at the bottom of society. Those who stood above him could sneer all they liked, but he wouldn’t suffer being stepped on for long. He’d be better, much better. But of course he would be. ‘Fate’ demanded it so. [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] What To Expect: The story of a boy becoming a man becoming a king + everything that entails. Largely gamelit, but later arcs could be called litrpg. Also schemes. A lot of schemes. I do love some good ol' fantasy politics and intrigue. Minimum Word Count a Week: TBA after Writathon Release Time(s): Daily for as long as I can/until the end of the Writathon. I also write The Deathseeker [Returning Dec 5th]
8 82The Infinite Labyrinth
(Story complete - Book 1 "Shanghaied", 2 "Shortcuts", 3 "Secrets" and 4 "Sanctions") It is the 19th century, and war smoulders between England and France. Any hope for a quick end to Napoleon's rampage across Europe ended when the Great Gates opened in 1800. For a fortunate few, the strange world of the Infinite Labyrinth offers opportunities, strange descriptors popping in their minds, informing them of growth, and status beyond that of a mere mortal. The materials and power crystal they bring back foster a new age, both military and civilian. Aether-powered Skyships prowl the skies, as all the great nations blessed by the Gates try to turn the blessings of the Labyrinth into immediate advantages. But for Jonas, an apprentice leatherworker, his friend Ira, and so many Londoners, the fabled ones that walk the Labyrinth are distant heroes, seen from afar. They fell short when their Potential was measured, and they fill their mundane lives with distant dreams. One man wants to break the stalemate. The Tyrant of the Dominion of France, Napoleon Bonaparte, has a plan. Eighteen years after the world changed, he will force it to change again. And when civilians are caught in the fallout, the unthinkable happens. Six people, unqualified, forbidden to ever enter the Labyrinth, find themselves stranded in a distant zone, forcefully turned into Professionals. They know little of what that means, but they have to figure out the rules that are now their lot, for they have little hope to escape their predicament otherwise. They need to understand what the descriptors in their minds mean, what each of the strange piece of gear waiting in treasure chests behind terrible guardians can bring them. They have to become Professionals on their own and rejoin the Empire. They will figure out their new lives one way or another. But will there be an Empire waiting for them when the Gates re-open? Caught in a clash of empires and high tiers, they will do what little they can. They will step up and do their best. One way or another. The Infinite Labyrinth is a slice-of-life litRPG adventure set in a real historical setting. It's a hard, crunchy litrpg. Expect blue boxes everywhere, and the system itself is very mathy. It started life as a serial. I prepared some proper worldbuilding, with enough details and background for lots of different potential story arcs, but as I wrote, I realized the main story needs to have a definitive end. So, there are four books in total, for a bit under 1500 pages, plus additional side stories, and even maybe a sequel one day. The Gore tag was added as a precaution because there are a few scenes with some light gore.
