The Urban Dao Child. Chapter 42

Yang Dao heard the professor's words and smiled. He replied, "As ready as you are, professor. The equipment will arrive in the evening. Though assembling them will need an extra pair of hands." he scratched his head.
Professor Newt spoke, "Have you asked Professor Dew for help?"
Yang Dao nodded, "I will call her after the classes."
Professor Newt hummed in pondering and then asked, "Dao, we will need tight security to guard the computer assembly. Is your place safe?"
Yang Dao smiled confidently and replied, "Professor, you can rest assured."
Then before the two can talk more. Kiya interjected, "UMM, excuse me, Professor. Yang Dao came to you for something." her voice was getting doubtful by the end of her sentence. She was not sure why Yang Dao came here. So reminding the professor the only next best thing.
The professor asked, "Dao, what do you need from me?"
Yang Dao replied, "Professor, I am majoring in computers and physics. While my minor courses are Mathematics and Literature. I have been exempted by Professor Dew from attending her classes. I can learn more in the library. I wanted to join the physics club you asked me about. That way I will have a little more freedom in learning."
Professor Newt smiled at his words, he said, "It is alright." he turned to Kiya and said, "You take him to the registration office, guide him with the procedure for joining an academic club."
Kiya replied with a joyous smile, "Yes Professor."
After a brief conversation, Yang Dao came out of the office with Kiya walking by his side. The professor wanted to entangle more with this young genius mind in front of him, but it would make him look too clingy. So he could only let him wait for the next meeting.
Kiya walked silently with Yang Dao. It was unsure why, but a silent Yang Dao looked like an irreplaceable part of the scenery. The walkway was covered with a vine canopy overhead. This canopy brought relief to the students and staff while increasing the scenic vibe of the campus. The two people were walking at a calm pace. Kiya's pink hair stood out under the green vine canopy as if a firefly in the night.
As the girl observed the scene in a third-person view in her imagination. Her heart skipped a beat. A faint blush rose over her face. This scene was so romantic. Walking side by side a handsome talented Young man. Yang Dao felt something weird. He turned to look at Kiya beside him. His sudden gaze made Kiya's soul escape her body out of fright. Yang Dao asked, "Class Rep, are you okay? Is the heat too much? Your face is all flushed."

Kiya was stunned. She knew that his EQ was low, but this was unacceptable. But the next moment she woke up from the daze as Yang Dao reached out his palm with some hesitation and touched Kiya's forehead. The girl felt a calming cold spreading over her. She exhaled heavily and said, "I am fine. Why are you so cold on such a hot day?"
Yang Dao replied, "I don't know I am always like this." his answer was a precautionary one. It was winter and today was a clear day. Inside the buildings, the heat radiators worked to relieve the people, but the outside was not gentle to them. Today the sky was clear, but Kiya was wearing a sweater and woolen stockings. She wore all this today because Sasha, her best friend, asked her to.
Yang Dao took back his hand and said, "You should go to the dorm and change your clothes. They seem too warm for today. But since it is winter, you should mind warring yourself well."
Kiya's stomach was full of butterflies, she thought, 'He is caring for me.' She asked with curiosity, "What sort of clothes do you think might suit me?"
Yang Dao was taken aback, but he still responded. His gaze scanned Kiya from head to rough and said, "Those skirt dresses and jeans and top would look good on you. Though not something stuffy or deliberate. Your natural sense of styling is better suitable." his words were like the hymn of the angels.
Yang Dao walked ahead on the sidewalk while Kiya followed him. She had now developed a crush on Yang Dao. It is not die-hard love, but just a casual attraction she felt for him. She led him to the registration office and helped him complete the joining procedure.
The procedure was slightly longer as this was an academic club. Any achievements you make for the club will be added to your degree certificate. The same applies for the bad remarks by your club supervisor. This is also a reason the people did not join the academic clubs such frequently.
...
After the procedure was complete, Kiya parted with Yang Dao. The girl walked away with a spring in her step while Yang Dao walked his way to the cafeteria. He loved his food. He washed his hands before picking up a plate. He asked the serving aunty with a smile, "Good noon, Aunty Mellow."

Aunty Mellow was a fan of Yang Dao. He was the first boy who treated her with respect and politeness. She smiled as she replied, "Student Dao, good noon to you as well. Today we have a special Saffron porridge and Devil Eggs. What would you like to eat on the side? Bread or salad?"
Yang Dao replied, "Half a serving of all of them?" he was a foodie through and through. Aunt Mellow chuckled, "I reward you with full servings."
Yang Dao happily took his plate and after sitting down in front of a student he did not know, he started eating with a smile. Someone else sat down by his side. Yang Dao did not look up to him and was immersed in his food. The person spoke, "Do you think that because you tamed Mikhail and the high table you will be safe? If you did not stop, I will make you regret it. You might have that Feng Yun behind you, but what about your cycling club members? What if someday a stray vehicle hit them? What about that little girl of Professor Newt? And that pink-haired beauty who was thrilled with you? Who do they have behind them?" his voice was low and his words were full of threat.
Yang Dao would have minded no one threatening him, but they involved innocent people in it. Yang Dao's anger flared up. The student who sat beside him wanted to leave after delivering the threat, but just as he removed his palm from the table after leaning on it to stand. He realized he could not move it at all. He looked back, and a scream rang out throughout the cafe.
A pair of chopsticks was lodged in his palm and passed through the table. It was unknown when the chopstick pierced through his palm. A strong numbing pain took over him. Yang Dao gave up eating and stood in front of the man. The white of his eyes had turned pink. He stood up from his seat and choked the boy's throat. The boy was shorter than him in height. Yang Dao exerted some strength and lifted him off the ground.
He spoke in a loud voice, "YOU PISSANTS. YOU JUST THINK THAT MY SILENCE IS MY WEAKNESS, RIGHT? I WILL DESTROY YOU AND EVERYONE RELATED YOU. THOSE WHO GAVE YOU THE COURAGE TO TRY THIS STUNT WILL KNEEL BEFORE ME."
At this moment, Icarus was entering the canteen. When he heard Yang Dao screaming so loudly in rage, he hurried over. He saw Yang Dao holding a boy from his neck. The boy's face was flushed, his legs were swinging in the air. One of his palms was stabbed through and stuck to the table while he desperately tried to get Yang Dao's hand off his throat.
Icarus was worried that Yang Dao might really kill this guy. He walked over and shouted at Yang Dao, "DAO, HE WILL DIE. LET HIM GO."
Yang Dao woke up and let go of the man, but his rage has not yet be sorted. he took his phone and dialed a number. Mikhail Goldberg answered in a beat. He spoke, "Young Master Feng, what can I do for you?"
Yang Dao roared at him, "GOLDBERG, YOU CANNOT CONTROL YOUR DOGS AND CATS RIGHT. THESE RICH SCIONS THINK THEY CAN THREATEN ME AND THOSE AROUND ME. I GIVE YOU HALF AN HOUR. I WANT ALL THESE PEOPLE KNEELING IN FRONT OF ME. OR I WILL PERSONALLY DEAL WITH THEM AND THEIR END WILL BE SOMETHING YOU CANNOT IMAGINE." he disconnected the call.
His roar shocked Mikhail. He did not know who dared to offend this guy so much that he lost his composure. He knew that not everyone was happy with the way the high table decided over the past re-correction. But these people dared to offend Yang Dao, Young Master Feng Yang Dao. Yang Dao alone may not be a force alone, but the name FENG was enough to doom them all for an eternity.
