The Urban Dao Child.

Yang Dao\'s word made the four people shiver. The boy was still leaning back in the rocking chair and he gazed at the people with a calm face. Never had he given off such a strong pressure. Watching the four of them not answering his question the boy had no option but to speak. 

"Why do you think I became what I have become today? Why do you think I worked myself to the ground, gave up my sleep, gave up the friends I cherished, the vanity I yearned for as a child? Why?" he asked in the same calm tone. 

The familiars opened their mouths one by one, but they had no words to say. They had nothing to clear their names. Feng Yun wanted to say something like Master calm down and all but watching the trace of disappointment in his dim eyes, she could not. 

Yang Dao continued, "Ever since I was a child, I wished to enjoy life, however, when I was still growing up, I realized that only the rich can enjoy life. I started to work and learn from an age where people do not even have to think about what \'money is. I made myself into a genius through my hard work and preservation. All this cost me my childhood. I never complained, nor did I plan to rant to you about it at some point, but you know why am I doing it today?" 

He took a glance at the faces of four people and said, "Because, one day when I was about to take the final step to my academic journey and do something to make my dreams reality, riding a red helicopter, stunning the people of the world, CEO of THE PHEONIX GROUP, Ms. FENG YUN came to see me. 

That day, she changed my life, by showing me a fire plume and a skywalk. I was so fascinated by that, I almost lost sight of my own goals. I became a Dao Child. The savior of balance. as I dealt with the big things, I lost sight of the smaller things. You all loved me, treated me with respect. Tell me, did I misuse your powers for my own goals?" (Bold letters are just emphasized.)

The familiars hurriedly shook their heads. They did not wish for him to have any misconceptions about himself. Yang Dao nodded and said, "Hmmm good. So tell me, when I need you the most, you did not come through? I controlled the Dao Resonance, don\'t know how, but I did it. However, I never showed it to you. 

Do you think, that I let you decide my path is because I cannot decide for myself? WRONG, I DID IT BECAUSE I TREATED YOU AS FAMILY. I TRUSTED YOU." speaking the last part his voice was so loud that it shook the four people. 

Yang Dao shouted to show them his control over Dao Resonance. His voice was not loud but it made them all pale from fright. They were shocked to hear this but if they had any doubts in their minds. They were all gone now. They did not expect the boy to have mastered the Dao resonance on his own and so soon. 

None of the previous generation Dao Children were able to do this. They were not even able to perceive that they had a counterpart. But when they recalled how Yang Dao was able to do things that none of the previous people could, they all came to believe it. 

Yang Dao said, "You all, have been deciding my fate ever since I was born in this world, right? You came to look for me when you deemed it necessary and you told me that it was the law of heavens. Jokes." he chuckled in the end. 

Then he said, "Atsuji Kurogame, age ninety-nine years old. Ryu Jinshi, despite your young looks, you are forty years old. I am sixteen years old, my parents must have been in their early thirties given the benefit of doubt in your favor. Still, you say that it was someone stronger than you who killed them yet you could not save them?" 

Yang Dao\'s question made the familiars suffer. They never imagined that the Dao Child, their master will question them like this. However, the questions were not wrong. They were indeed aware, that this day will come where they will be unable to make any explanations but they did not expect this day to come so soon. 

Feng Yun knelt, followed by Laohu Bai, when all this happened, they were just kids and had not yet awakened their true powers. But Ryu Jinshi and Atsuji Kurogame had the power to save the parents. Yang Dao looked at the kneeling girls and the standing men with indifference and said, "You all have been controlling and manipulating me in the name of tempering me. Making it so that I do not diverge from my path. You controlled me to achieve your goals. 

Your level of manipulation has surpassed my imaginations. Very accomplished in this field, you are, Minister of war strategies. You are a loyal hunter, Dragon of Wind. Well, I give you the last chance, give me an explanation of your actions." 

That said the boy placed his hands behind his back. He gazed at the people in front of him, watching them shivering, afraid, guilt-ridden but he did not say anything. The wait lasted for an hour. Yang Dao said, "I am leaving, and I will have no connection with any of you anymore. Not until you can tell me why you did what you did. You are dead to me. Until the day you recall your identities of my servants, do not call me Master." 

Ryu Jinshi clenched his fists, Yang Dao smiled and said, "Still arrogant, very well then, you narrow-minded reptile." his eyes turned golden and his hair started to flutter. He took a step forward and vanished from his spot. 

The burly Ryu Jinshi suddenly flew outside the pavilion and crashed directly into a wall of the mansion with a loud BOOM. The three familiars were shocked. Yang Dao walked up to Atsuji Kurogame and raised his hand. 

SMACK...

A loud clap resounded in the whole mansion. The old minister also flew off to kiss the verdant greens in the garden. Yang Dao glanced at the ladies and said, "You two are the people I cared for most, your silence has broken my heart. Goodbye." 

Then he vanished. Feng Yun and Laohu Bai had their hands risen in the air towards him as if trying to get a hold of him but Yang Dao had gone before they could say anything. They helplessly sat on the cold floors and shed tears. 

The debris from the wall moved and an embarrassing figure of Ryu Jinshi was spotted moving. His hair was disheveled, lips had a trace of blood at the corner, the chest was sunken in, the kick earlier had broken his breast bone and a least of a few ribs. This injury carried a trace of death laws. He would have to meditate for a few weeks before complete recovery. 

Atsuji Kurpgame was no better, his jaw was dislocated. His chin was broken, his neck had a severe muscle rupture and his eardrum had lost the sense of hearing, while his head was spinning. Yang Dao had been easy on him for the sake of his age. 

He took even a longer time to move than Ryu Jinshi. The two finally made their way to the pavilion where Feng Yun and Laohu Bai had stopped crying. Atsuji Kurogame moved his jaw and was about to say something when Feng Yun said, "I am angry, leave here before I kill you both." 

Her voice was calm but the temperature had risen as she talked. Laohu Bai did not say anything but she stood up and stepped in front of Feng Yun. She said, "Maa... He said you were a loyal Hunter, Ryu Jinshi. Does that mean you were the one who led the New Dawn to his parents?" she changed her address for Yang Dao as he had just forbidden them to.

Feng Yun raised her red eyes and her hair was already giving off slight ember, while Laohu Bai\'s hands had become sharp like claws. Ryu Jinshi glanced at the old man but then nodded with a trace of sweat on his forehead. 

His head had not yet raised back, but he felt a strong pain coming from his gut. Laohu Bai had torn his guts and her hand was inside his abdomen. Ryu Jinshi did not even have the time to grimace when a fist made contact with his head and his body flew off to the distance bouncing on the ground. His head was bleeding, his skull had broken. 

When Yang Dao attacked him, it was an act of the heavenly dao to deal the man with a punishment. This was why he had no powers. His body was still that of a familiar spirit incarnate but the powers were sealed. 

Feng Yun waved his hand Atsuji Kurogame sucked in a cold breath. The floor below his feet had turned into molten lava.. A calm voice sounded, "Told you one day, your wisdom will lead you to your end, you pathetic crawler."
