The Urban Dao Child. Chapter 147
Advertisement
Tony and Carole were curious about what idea can this guy get. Yang Dao smiled and told them the plan. The more he talked, the more he amused the other two. After he was finished with it Tony said, 'Is it just me or the plan sounds too childish?"
Carole nodded in agreement. Yang Dao shook his head and said, "Humans always fall for something they do not expect. You tell me, will the assets ever imagine something like this? They are all probably ready with guns hanging to their waist to kill whoever approaches them. Relax, just trust me. It will work."
Tony had some hesitation but Carole said, "As expected of the national nerd king. I knew you were reading Human psychology but to this extent, I did not expect it. You surprise me, student Dao."
Yang Dao smiled and Carole told Tony about his background. Tony was a guy who had just returned from an exchange program, plus he was not a native of Jade city. He belonged to a small mining town called Stalactia. The town was famous for Gem stalactites found in the caves here.
Any gem or precious metal you can think of, if there was a mine in this region, that precious metal will show itself as stalactites. Tony was scouted by some passing military officers when he sneaked inside the camp and stole food. The army trained him since then and only recently he joined the Military University.
As he listened to the details from Carole, he nodded and agreed to go forward with the plan Yang Dao suggested. It might work. The three people took showers and rested for some time when the manager of the motel came to the place. He held a big box in his hand. Yang Dao came and took the box.

Carole sent off the guy with a command to get them some good street food. In the time the manager would come back, the Dao child unboxed the computer and set it up. It looked more like a gaming system.
Sensing Tony's confused he told him, "If we order for a normal high spec computer, it may tick off some leaders of this, please. This gaming laptop is perfect for our use."
The boy started typing at a ghostly speed and shocked Tony. The latter had no ideas about what was going on. He just gazed at Yang Dao's operation and after a few minutes, he did not almost jump off the building.
The dao child had entered his Crypto Nation account. Using that account as a relay, he hacked into the garden Island network. Both Carole and Tony stood behind him, frozen. They had seen nothing like this. It was as if Yang Dao was a developer of the system. He hacked inside in thirty minutes.
Tony said, "Why do you have an account of Crypto Closed web?" his voice was shaking a bit.
Yang Dao replied, "Because I hack the CPB of the crypto nation?" his voice was as calm as if he was saying someth9ing normal. He paused and continued, "The garden island system is designed by a cryptonian. Now we have a piece of good news and a piece of bad news. Which one first?"
Carole replied, "Good one." her eyes were expectant.
Yang Dao said, "I have the address of the cryptonian who maintains the garden Island surveillance."
Tony asked, "Bad news?"
Yang Dao replied, "The data in the servers was manipulated, and only one person can do this. That person is?"
"The cryptonian developer?" Tony asked in an unsure voice.

Yang Dao said, "Bingo, we need to get his computer and the key card. Or we find nothing." his tone was as if they were here to hang out.
Carole said, "So, we infiltrate a guy responsible for the security of the whole place and take away some of his stuff and then can we do something?"
The two boys nodded. Carole sighed, "What a drag."
The three people looked for ways to get this developer in their trap. During their research, they found the developer had a daughter. The relationship between the two was stiff and was a very good angle to exploit.
...
In the evening.
Tony spent three hours disguising himself as the manager of the hotel. Then he dressed up nicely. Even If it was the manager's mother, she will not recognize him at this moment. The plan was to abduct the girl and use her as a bargaining chip. This task was given to Tony.
Yang Dao was the getaway support, while Carole was the guide. The plan was simple, Carole will monitor the girl's location, she will guide the people, Tony will seduce the girl and take her to the car, where Yang Dao is a driver. The girl will be used then.
Since Tony was playing the Motel manager, the real guy was put to sleep by Carole in a storage closet of their room set. Tony first switched off his camera and knocked out a cab driver. Yang Dao changed into the cabbie's uniform while the cabbie was injected with sleeping medicine and tucked inside the trunk.
They had to make sure that they are not caught in a camera. Then, Yang Dao drove Tony to a camera shop where the guy showed his IDs and all to ask for a new camera. This was a governmental office and any changes in the equipment must be reported or the forces come looking for you.
Carole informed them about the girls' location on their sat comm earpieces. She seemed to drown her sorrows in a pub. Yang Dao drove the cab over to the location and Tony got down. Despite his fat figure, the man was dressed lavishly. The guards let him enter the pub. Yang Dao drove his cab to a dark alley and turned it off.
He said in the comms, "Tony is in, tell me as soon as you find something wrong." the first half was for Carole while the second was for both.

The Discarded
The Umbrae Lunae existed before man, beautiful abominations birthed in the nightmares of mad gods. They wait for humanity to misstep, for the angels to look away. For the moment when they can cloak the world in moon shadows once again. But even horrors have children. Even nightmares must feed. One child, unlike the others, finds his way to a school for young abominations. Will he be a sheep cast before the wolves, or a terror that wears the skin of wool to entice the wolf close? The flesh of his body was his only coin, strips cut to pay debts that never ended. Everyone has scars, stories in a life led, lessons learned, and licks taken. Luminous bodies touched by darkness. There are a cursed few that are the opposite, black shadows consumed by scars, twisted minds devoured by diseased hungers, bodies tortured misshapen works of gouged flesh, silver lines of blade thin cuts, ragged tears of teeth and glass. For them, the scars are marks of homecoming, the mangled wasteland the only place they feel at peace. Hell is a place. It's made of concrete, steel and glass. It's the sounds of starving kids crying themselves to sleep, huddling into small balls as creepers come and take their due of innocence and tender meat. It's eating rotten food and carrying ticks in your hair. It’s having no one and nothing while surrounded by everything. It's the life of a street kid. What abomination was birthed in the corrupt womb of man’s cast-off shit? Pretty people don't know the power of ugly. They can't see the strength in a broken soul or the power in a calloused heart. Those secrets are for the discarded alone. Only the broken understand the grace of darkness. The blessed folds that hide scars and tears, the protection of its concealing umbra.
