The Urban Dao Child

Two bikes began to shuttle through the traffic at a fast speed. Yang Dao did not slow down on purpose. He wanted to see the limits of Lisa. The thing that affected her the most was the fact that the time she spend inside the training machine the time speed was too much faster than what was on the inside.

Her brain began used to all the movements, when Lisa woke up from her sleep she could have sworn that her body felt alien to herself. Laohu Bai bought her to familiarize herself with the body through brutal hand-to-hand combat. The last day of the training was more brutal than the whole time she spent in suspended animation.

However, the brutality did work upon her like a charm. At the moment they were riding bikes at a speed of two hundred kilometers an hour. She had been following Yang Dao from the side constantly like a wingman. Her riding suit was white and blue while Yang Dao was dressed in a black suit with red streaks.

They looked like a pair of fire and water flowing together on the road. Lisa was now acting as both, secretary, and handyman for Yang Dao so she had a holstered gun tied to her thigh. The model was the same Death Star gun issued by the military. They were not allowed to use elemental skills on mortals.

Lisa herself was not an elemental. She has just embarked on the path of a water elemental and was a level one elemental seeker. The two rode their bikes for three hours before they reached the orphanage in bell city.

The city had transformed a lot. Holographic hoardings and a ton of new tech had made the place very lively. However, the people were still the same. After entering the city, Yang Dao opened his helmet and began to ride at a minimal speed. His get-up and bike caught the attention of a lot of people.

The people all greeted him with a smile. They all knew that the boy had his own business now and he was adopted by the richest girl as her brother, they were also aware that Yang Dao had his own business and he was also a successful person. They all greeted him because the guy had grown up in front of them from a toddler to the fine young man he was now.

Yang Dao also waved back to them in greeting. With his face brimming with smiles the two bikes came to the orphanage gates. The big gate was always open but now there was a digital security system equipped on it. As soon as the two people approached the system scanned them. However, there was no alarming reaction in it.

The boy tilted his head and drove inside, thinking if something was wrong with the system. Their helmets were equipped with short-distance communication equipment. Lisa said to him, "Master, this system only acts when there is an intruder or unknown person. Details of the people related to you are all updated by RALF.  All the information is scanned by RALF in real-time."

Yang Dao nodded and parked the bike in front of the building entrance. The two of them came inside and found two girls sitting behind the counter with their heads bowed to read books. They seemed to be engrossed with the books and did not hear them coming. A smile surfaced on Yang Dao's lips and made a quiet gesture to Lisa as he walked forward with silent steps.

He circled the table and came behind the two girls. Then he leaned his head between the two girls and said, "Oh, so we are reading the derivation formulae. I see children have grown up."

The two girls froze for a bit, then with a smile they turned around to see Yang Dao. They were none other than Tina and Nina. The two girls were five years younger than Yang Dao and were twelve years at this moment. However, they were blessed with a smart brain and could already understand courses much advanced than their actual course.

Last month they had even gone to the Jade City University but when they were tested by Aislinn Jasper the principal told them to wait and study more before they came to attend the university. They were not let down but took it positively and began to work even harder. Seeing Yang Dao next to them, they hugged him tightly, making the boy chuckle.

He said, "You two silly ones. Come let us find others, I will stay here for a few days."

The girls raised their heads to look at his face and clapped like children. They were children but faced with the harsh reality of the actual world, they all had a much mature mindset. Yang Dao was led by the two of them as they held his hands. Lisa followed behind silently. She seemed to have forgotten to smile.

Her face had become indifferent. Yang Dao had noticed this and decided to teach her later. The crowd came to find Sister Tina in her room. She was resting after finishing the morning chores. When she heard the knock on the door and saw three heads popping in from the gap of the door she chuckled and said, "Little chipmunks, not growing up."

She would call these three chipmunks when they did this. The twins had picked up this habit from Yang Dao, who would act as a curious cat. Yang Dao asked as he walked inside the room, "Can I stay in the house for a few days?"

Behind him, the two girls also nodded their heads like chickens pecking grain. Sister Tina smiled and said, "You can always come here. This is your own home, you know?"

Yang Dao nodded and then he took the two girls out shopping with Lisa along with them. The people all traversed through the streets, shopping for clothes and other things.. The atmosphere was very joyful and this visit allowed the Dao Child to relax his tired and stressed mind.
