After Ayaka raged Thomas and the rest sped up and lessened the distance between, him and Yang Dao slowly. The rest of the people did not give up but followed them with moderation. Yang Dao still led the pack with a gap of five hundred meters.

The result for the day was six checkpoints, all taken by Yang Dao. The people would cover three cities in a day, and they will stop when they enter the fourth city to start from there in the morning. The final destination for the day was Bell City. Sister Tina and the rest of the kids had come back in the noon a bit ahead then Yang Dao.

Yang Dao was sipping water from his sipper when he was on the highway. The setting sun reflected the orange hue on his face. He has been infusing the source energy in his body and was now running very low on it. As he stuck the bottle inside the holder on the frame. He raised his head and saw the city gate in front of him.

However, what surprised him was a large number of people gathered on both sides of the road. They carried some baskets and their faces were full of smiles. The city looked a little brighter than how Yang Dao remembered.

His bike crossed the city gate and he shook from the loud noise, "BELL CITY WELCOMES BACK YANG DAO."

The people started to take out flower petals from their baskets and started to shower upon the boy as he passed the road. Yang Dao had no idea why he was receiving such a warm and lavish welcome but he did not have the time to stop and ask. His body was running on fumes, and he needed to reach the orphanage.

This scene was actually being captured and broadcasted live on television. Yang Dao smiled and waved back to the people in acknowledgment. He grew up in this city and was known by many people. Recently when he set up helping hand organization and the development of the city had made people find out about his origins.

So, unknown to him, Yang Dao had become the son of Bell city. The boy rode his bike amidst the petal shower and came to the orphanage. He spotted Tina and the rest of the people standing at the gate from a distance. The orphanage was light up brightly.

Yang Dao stopped the bike in front of the orphanage and got down. He supported himself with the bike and transferred his weight to it. Tina asked, "Dao, son, why are you not coming in?"

Yang Dao gave her a sheepish smile and said, "Well, the legs are numb, so cannot actually walk."

His words made the people laugh, some people wanted to support him but Yang Dao said, "No, it is fine. Give me a few minutes. I will be fine."

They chatted just like this and a few people also laughed with him. Soon, the rest of the team also arrived. They all knew that the bell city was their place to stay for the night and they were going to Yang Dao's orphanage but they did not expect him to have such a warm welcome.

They saw him standing with his bike supporting him. Icarus said, "Stop being so macho, Okay?" and supported him as he walked inside the orphanage.

Tina and the few staff members dealt with the people gathered outside and after thanking them they sent them away. They all turned back to go inside. Yang Dao was sitting on a couch in the reception area along with his teammates while the children in the orphanage were serving them water and stuff. Ayaka and the four instructors had also arrived along with the team and they came over after unloading a few bags.

Kiya and Sasha had been a hit among the few children. Yang Dao looked at Tasha and Cao supervising others and said to Tina, "These two grew up a lot."

Tina nodded and said, "After that night, they did."

Yang Dao nodded and asked, "Where are Nina, and Tina."

The twins were named before they were brought to the orphanage and one of them had the name common with Sister Tina. The lady said, "They would spend time in the library these days. Wait, someone, must have gone to inform them about your arrival." just as her words dropped and two cute and beautiful girls came over holding hands.

They attracted attention from everyone as they looked like two dolls. They were just eleven years old. Tasha said, "Big brother Dao. You tell them to play as well. Reading all day long is not good for health. We tell them but they do not listen."

The twins did not care about Tasha complaining to Yang Dao. They had sparkles in their eyes when they saw Yang Dao sitting in front of them. They rushed up to him and hugged him tightly. The boy smiled wryly and said, "Yes, I missed you too. Also, I am soaking with sweat. Do you not feel disgusted."

Two little heads on his chest shook like a rattle. Yang Dao raised his hands and as he patted their backs gently he said, "Come, sit down."

The girls were very obedient to him and sat down on either side. They did not let go of his arm. The boy said, "You two, go out to play once a day for two hours, okay? It is important to play and study."

They bobbed their heads up and down. Sister Tina smiled and said, 'How come they never listen to me but you?"

Cao, the fourteen-year-old said, "Because, Big brother Dao is handsome."

Icarus also chimed in, "You are correct brother, I can relate to you." since Cao was sitting next to him. He placed a hand around his shoulder. How about you tell us some embarrassing stories of this guy.

Tasha pouted and said, "Although, there is nothing like that but CaoCao, I tell you if you dared babble. You will be spending the night in the reception hall."

"Yes." all the little girls chimed along.

Icarus and Cao gave each other a look, 'I understand your pain brother.'

The team laughed. They all were arranged to take shower in the boy's common washroom while the girls were in the girl's wing. After cleaning up Yang Dao was good enough to walk and came to have dinner with the people in the hall.

He was comfortable and all the frustration has vanished from his heart when he was playing and spending time with these people. He was at home.
