The Urban Dao Child. Chapter 113
Advertisement
Yang Dao sat across Kylie Dew. Lisa stood behind him holding her hands in front of her. The beauty professor gazed at the two of them, seemingly trying to assess the relationship. Yang Dao was emotionally weak but he was intelligent. He noticed the lady's expressions and said, "This is Lisa, she is my attendant. She will stay with me from now on."
Kylie Dew's eyes flashed, she nodded and wanted to say something when Yang Dao again interrupted, "Lisa, pour some tea for the guest."
The maid replied in her mesmerizing voice, "Yes, young master." and scurried to the kitchen. Her big doe eyes and bell-like voice were like a snap of thunder in Kylie's mind. She had ideas about Yang Dao. Lisa's appearance was a threat to her. She knew that Yang Dao would not care for status and origins, he cared about a person's heart.
Her idea was not to con him or something but to develop a relationship with him and fall in love. Yang Dao was a charming handsome boy who like her was a technology nerd. Just when she was about to speak, Lisa returned with a tray in her hands. Her efficiency was commendable. She placed the tea on the table, then placed a cup and saucer. She spoke, "Young Master, would you like some mint tea as well?"
Yang Dao nodded. Lisa nodded and first served a cup to Kylie Dew and then one for her young master. Who knew that that boy would say, "Lisa, sit down. Do not stand all day long." As he gestured her to the seat next to him.
Kylie Dew sensed something ambiguous. However, she did not feel like commenting. She picked up the tea and started drinking it in small sips. She sighed, "Good tea."
Yang Dao introduced, "Have some more then." Lisa immediately filled up another cup. Yang Dao was not trying to overwhelm her but he was scared. He did not want her to do something like she did in the morning.
He asked, "Professor, why did you come over so early? It is still early and you were to code for a whole night, were you not?" his voice was calm. It was as if he had never been kissed. Kylie Dew sighed, she expected something like this to happen.
She replied, "I want to talk to you regarding something not formal. It has been bothering me a lot." her voice was calm but her gaze was pained.
Yang Dao asked, "What is it?"
The lady replied, "Let's talk on the balcony, alone." she urged.
With a nod, the boy stood up and walked to the balcony with Kylie Dew following him. Lisa stood in the giving room, with no thoughts in her mind. She did not mind for two people to have a private conversation after all she was just a maid in the house.

...
On the balcony, Kylie Dew took the lead as she leaned against a railing. The wind is her hair, the setting sun at the horizon shone upon the two. Yang Dao glanced at her and felt his hormones getting out of control. Kylie was the most beautiful woman he has been in touch with except for Feng Yun and Laohu Bai.
Kylie Dew gazed at him and said, "Yang Dao, you might think that the reason I am approaching you is because of the status and money you have. But that is not it. I started liking you when I saw you coding for the translation program. As weird as it may sound, but I am only a computer expert in the end. I have liked a lot of capable men like other girls would do. Yet never have I felt a flutter in my heart. When you submitted your semester project in one week, my heart fluttered. I could not see you for a month due to the military training. I missed you and wished to meet you but, alas, the regulations."
She took a pause, noticed that Yang Dao did not look away from her and was listening. She continued speaking, "When today I saw you in the morning I was very excited and could not help myself. I came so early to tell you that I will not be able to resist my feelings for you, if I worked together with you something like that will happen again. So, tell me, will you give me a chance?"
Yang Dao took a deep breath and said, "I am not bound by the difference in age and other stigmas but it would not like to jump on a boat blindly. If you don't mind, let nature take its own course. If we can develop something then good, if not then good as well. I just hope it does not affect the equation we have as co-programmers."
He did not have the heart to deny her right up. To be honest he was moved by her words. He could tell what intent did a person have. At this moment, he was sure that Kylie Dew was not lying or tricking him. But he was not sure about his own feelings so he decided to go slow. The lady on the other side smiled brightly, she jumped to hug Yang Dao but stopped.
She extended her palm and said, "Hello, I am Kylie Dew, 25 years old. I like to code and teach people."
Yang Dao had a strange expression, he did not know what to do. Kylie Dew said, "Basic introduction?"
Yang Dao snapped out of his daze and held her hand gently as he said, "Hello, Yang Dao, 16 years old. I like umm... everything."

Kylie Dew couldn't help but shake her head, "Well, still given your Eq this is an improvement."
Yang Dao replied, "Says the one who likes me cause I can code." his voice was low but the damage was high. The two bantered a bit and then came back to the living room. Yang Dao held his forehead in his palms and said, "Lisa, this is an order. If you are not working then you will rest or study. Don't keep standing like a robot..."
He spotted as he got an idea for his next project. Then he said, "Professor, you can take the coding over. I need to meet Sister Yun urgently. You carry on. Lisa look after her." With that said he picked up his keys and wallet, then he rushed out of the house.
His speed was too quick for the women to react. Kylie Dew chatted with Lisa a bit and found the girl surprisingly shy. So after a brief small talk, she went downstairs to start her work. Yang Dao was about to get inside the car and rush away when his phone rang. He saw it was Yurika who called him.
He picked up the call, and the other side said, "I am at the airport. Come pick me up." the boy took a deep breath and replied, "Okay, wait there."
He closed the car and sighed, "Guess I will take the chopper."
The boy rushed to the terrace and boarded the helicopter. He said, "First stop at the airport terminal. Second stop, Pheonix Group."
The pilot nodded and the man-made beast took off displaying its speed and efficiency. Yang Dao calmed himself down and meditated. The chopper landed on a helipad. Yang Dao got off and asked the airport staff to make an announcement for Yurika to come over here. A few minutes later the girl came dragging her suitcase behind her with a pout on her lips. She threw away the suitcase and walked up to Yang Dao.
She placed her hands in her waist and said, "Do you think you are now a big shot? Calling your mother here and there. Humph. I will not talk to you."
Yang Dao sighed and picked up her suitcase. He put it inside the cabin and said, "I will leave with your stuff first, you can come later."
Yurika almost blew off her head. She climbed inside the chopper and started blaming him non-stop. After half an hour the chopper landed on the top of the phoenix group. The two people got off and Yang Dao said, "You better keep your mouth shut for the next few minutes. I don't want to throw you off the top floor."
Yurika pouted as she snorted to him, "Just you wait to get home. I have learned to choke and hold. See how I straighten you."
The two took the elevator and went down to Feng Yun's office. In front of the cabin, on a desk sat a lady. She saw Yang Dao walking over, she stood up and bowed slightly. The by asking, "Is sister Yun inside."
The lady nodded, and Yang Dao walked inside after pushing the door. He asked Yurika to sit down in the lobby and wait.
...
"President Feng, I remind you it is not good for you to do this. The crypto nation market is a good piece of cake, and if you throw it away a lot of people are waiting to grab it." A man in a professional suit sat in front of Feng Yun.
His tone was haughty. Feng Yun was about to reply when the door was pushed open. A boy wearing a casual lower and sports shirt walked in. The man frowned and said, "Whoever you are. Do you not know how to knock? Also, where are your manners to dress like this? Do you know what is this place? How could the staff let you in."
Yang Dao raised his eyebrow and asked, "Sister Yun, who is this?"
Feng Yun replied, "Mr. Toshigawa Henry, Ambassador Crypto Nation." her voice was calm and steady.
Yang Dao asked the man, "Are you a native of Crypto nation." in reply the man raised his chin up. Obviously, proud of his nationality.
The boy walked up beside Feng Yun. Picked up the receiver of the landline phone and dialed 888. This was the emergency helpline number they had in their country. The call connected, "888, please state your emergency."
Yang Dao spoke, "Madam, I am Feng Yang Dao, there is a gentleman who claims to be a citizen of the Crypto nation, yet he is not wearing the red armband on his arm. I think he is impersonating to be someone else. Kindly send over someone to investigate."
The man panicked and before he could say anything Yang Dao reported the address and all. He did not expect something like this to happen. After putting down the receiver Yang Dao said, "Crypto nation will beg us on their knees to enter their market. We will make sure of that."

Ashes of the Primordial
With the upcoming shutdown of the servers for Ragnarok Games’ deep dive VRMMO, ‘Ashes of the Primordial’, the player log of those online for the final night was depressingly empty-looking. A revolutionary level of realism drove Ashes to the forefront of the games market, billions of players enjoying their journey to power and glory as an avatar of their own creation. The final enemy of the game-world defeated, the company announced, in line with their stance from launch, that they would be shutting down the game exactly six months after the defeat of Sutr, the final boss. Ammanas, the player responsible for Sutr's defeat, stays online until the end. However, as the countdown hits 0, the start-hub of his dive rig (what would typically greet a forced ejection from a game) was no where to be seen and instead darkness greets him as he fades into unconsciousness. Awakening to unfamiliar sights in an unfamiliar body, one which turns out to be a lot more familiar than he first thought, now he must figure out where, how, why and what to do with the new world he finds himself in. Author note: I don't own the cover, just something found through a google search. This is also my first story and the MC will basically be unimaginably OP yet never really utilising his full power. He just wants to find somewhere to fit in to the new world he finds himself in and despite both his nature as a loner and his interests he will find himself forming connections with the denizens of this new realm. Hope you enjoy

Remorse
I have killed many people over my long life. Men, women, children. None have escaped the shadows that I control. It was only one tiny mistake that I made that changed my life forever. I underestimated her, and I would pay for my hubris. “For every death you have given, you will feel their pain.” What? “For every person you have killed, you will feel regret.” Wait, wait… “For every murder you have commited, you will know what you have done.” I don’t think this is going to be pretty. The power leaves her voice as she continues in a softer tone. “I will give you back what you have lost, you will feel empathy again.” Her power releases me and I fall to the ground. Diana. That was her name. I will remember it. ******** This story starts out somewhat dark, but it will lighten up after the first chapter. I tend to not enjoy the psychological tag too much since stories with the tag tend to be a little insane for my liking, but I feel that I would be remiss not putting it on this story, since a lot of it is about the psychology of the main character. All the content warnings are checked since I want to leave my options open to me for the future. I hope you enjoy.
