The Urban Dao Child. Chapter 54
Advertisement
Yang Dao and Yurika reached the hotel. This hotel was one of the Paradise Hotels. Yang Dao owned it. He was greeted by the hotel manager on the roof. After a polite greeting, the petite mature manager led him to the presidential suite.
Yang Dao spoke, "Can I have two servings of braised chicken, salmon curry, brown rice. As for the side dishes please have some seasonal vegetables stir-fried. Also one big serving of ramen noodles with egg."
The manager was surprised first. It was not like anyone can eat so much food. But she was not familiar with Yang Dao, so it was natural. Yurika was another Yang Dao in terms of eating capacity. Nonetheless, she nodded with a smile and left after a greeting.
Yang Dao and Yurika entered the suite. This suite had three bedrooms, one living room, one dining room, a study, a swimming pool, a mini gym. A minibar was set up in a corner of the living room. The decoration was very easy-going yet super luxurious.
Yurika was surprised, she reacted, "Say, what is the actual deal? Do you own this place or something?"
Yang Dao replied casually, "The whole chain of hotels is mine. Sister Yun gifted it to me."
Yurika dropped the bags in her hands. Yang Dao did not stop and entered the bedroom. He did not bring any clothes with him. Took out a robe from the cupboard and took a cozy shower. The boy had just dried up and tied the robe around him when the doorbell rang. He walked out, Yurika had already opened the door to allow the waitress to walk inside and serve the food.
The waitress was looking around to sneak a peek at the new boss. When she saw Yang Dao, she was surprised. Though that it was the son of the owner. But too bad her doubts will remain unanswered. Yurika sent away the peeky waitress. She snorted as she closed the door.
Yurika may be frivolous but Yang Dao or any other younger one from the orphanage was cared for by her like a hen protecting the chicks. This was also the reason why everyone in the orphanage had a good relationship with her. The two people sat down across and started gnawing on the food.
If this scene was seen by others, their eyes might drop out from the sockets. The sound inside the room was either the clatter of the crockery or momentous burps. Yes, the two people gave up all etiquettes as they ate. They were so thorough that not a single sign of flesh could be found on the bones of the chicken and fish.

Yang Dao ate faster then Yurika. He stood up and chowed down on the bowl of ramen. After the two finished eating they glanced at each other and spoke simultaneously, "ICE CREAM." then after a brief silence they laughed.
Yang Dao called the room service, and spoke in a calm voice, "Hello, can I have one medium bucket of choco caramel fudge and one similar bucket of a Black current vanilla sundae, please."
The room service sent the order and Yang Dao said to the waitress, "Excuse me, please send someone from the housekeeping. They can take away the food trolley." he had a smile on his face as he interacted with the pretty waitress. The staff on the other hand could not help but feel her heart almost exploding from sudden excitement.
The charm Yang Dao held can never fail on ordinary people. The lady nodded and followed Yang dao inside. She cleared up the table and found that not even a drop of curry was left inside the bowls. She wondered if the guest washed it off or if they licked the bowl to make it so clean.
Yang Dao meanwhile took the ice cream bucket to Yurika who was leaning against the recliner on the balcony, staring at the peaceful night sky. The boy handed her a bucket filled with chocolate caramel fudge, while he sat down beside her on the same recliner holding his own sweet dish.
Yurika smiled as she saw Yang Dao's shining eyes. Ever since he came to the orphanage at an age of two, he would be his happiest when eating food. Sister Tina was just in her late teens when she started looking after them and Yang Dao was the apple of her eye. She would always bring him new dishes from her savings. Yurika was the only one who would play with the quiet Yang Dao so she used to get a share in his food.
Reminiscing the old days Yurika smiled. She suddenly asked the boy beside her, "Dao, how have you been in Jade city?"
Yang Dao smiled and said, "It is good. You know Rika, I joined a club. They are all cool people. I made a friend as well, his name is Icarus. We ride on bikes. They are as fast as a motorbike in its initial gears. It is very exciting to ride. I also won the Mountain King title..." the boy told his confidante about his adventures from club to education. Yurika would chuckle occasionally. She only found that despite her good relationship with Yang Dao, she has never taken the initiative to know where her best friend more.

Yang Dao also asked the girl about her. The weather was cold. Despite the clear skies, there will be fog. So the two people walked inside the suite and went up to their own room. Yurika was tired with all the hubbub. The moment she sprawled over on the bed she fell asleep.
Yang Dao was not much different from her. He made a call to Feng Yun and after thanking her and getting scolded he fell asleep with a silly smile smeared across his face. The night flew away as a fleeting affair and morning came. Yang Dao woke up when he felt someone walking inside his room, rubbed his eyes slightly in front of him stood Yurika, all dressed up.
Yang Dao picked up his watch from the side table and saw that it was already 8 in the morning. He smiled wryly, eating like a pig makes you sleep like a pig as well. He asked in a husky voice, "Rika, are you going so soon?"
Yurika nodded to him with a smile, as she replied, "Yes, the ceremony will start at 9.30. I have to meet a friend on the way. You are not allowed to come with me."
The sleepy boy spoke, "Why?"
Yurika spoke in a teasing manner, "Who asked you to be such an eye candy. The girls in the university will turn into hungry nympho if they ever saw you. Go back to Jade City. I will come to meet you after I visit Sister Tina."
Yang Dao hummed and laid back on the bed. He said, "Wait lemme arrange someone to follow you lest some old flame of yours start to pester you." he picked up his phone, made a call to the hotel manager. Paradise hotel provided high-class bodyguards for their guests. Yang Dao asked the manager to arrange for two capable female bodyguards to follow Yurika for the time till she leaves the onyx city. The expenses were all reimbursed by the hotel.
The manager had no qualms and agreed to this task. To be honest the higher level was aware of how the hotel changed owners so they all treated Yang Dao's words like the heavenly commandment. Just that Yang Dao did not know that the people feared him so much.
He came out of the suite with Yurika. He spoke as he yawned, "Rika, call me if something happened."
Yurika nodded, she stood on her toes and ruffled his hair as she said, "You wash up kid, your elder sister is hot chili pepper."
Yang Dao suddenly made a face and covered his forehead with his palm. He said, "Rika, you know that it is not a good thing to feel good about being a hot chili pepper?"
Yurika made a face and asked, "Really?" the boy nodded. After a small bickering session, she left with the two bodyguards.
Yang Dao also freshened up and wore the clothes from yesterday. Tied his watch and after wearing his shoes, he was about to make a call to the guards that he was about to leave when his phone rang. It was Icarus.
Yang Dao connected the call and Icarus spoke, "Young Master Feng, where are you?"
The boy chuckled and said, "When did you start talking like your cousin?"
Icarus replied in a distressed voice, "Ever since the coach asked me to not talk too much this morning. You tell me, do I speak too much?"
Yang Dao chuckled and said, "Yes, you do."
Icarus suddenly cried like a child, "You all are so mean. Anyways the coach asked you to be present in the evening." then he disconnected the call.
Yang Dao smiled a little wryly. He did not know how to deal with this guy. Still, he had to go back. So after giving a call to the guards he came to the roof.
A kilometer away, three people were monitoring Yang Dao. One of them said, "Okay we are on the move again..." his words have not finished when he flinched.
The leader asked, "What is it?"
The man said, "He looked in our direction. Then got up on the chopper." this was the second time Yang Dao glanced in their direction. This time it was even more accurate than the last time. The gaze lasted for a longer time.
The captain nodded and they started moving. The captain reported the fact that Yang Dao gazed at them twice to the general. This was his task. Monitor the safety and pass an hourly report.
In the chopper Yang Dao had his eyes closed. He was thinking over the strange feeling of being peeked upon. This feeling came suddenly and then vanished. Yesterday he just gazed casually when it appeared, but today he used the wind perception. It was as if the gaze came from the outside of his perception range, yet it was faintly present.
He decided to talk about it with Feng Yun later when he was done with the race event. This feeling was making him uneasy.

Savage Hunters
Giant monsters roam the land Civilization is frozen in a savage age. For the beast slayer Alden, power and survival are one and the same. The ancient evil that once ravaged his village and murdered his ancestors has returned. At the same time, politics hurls Alden and his crew into gladiator pit battles for control of the throne. When Alden takes possession of a cursed sword promising untold power, the hunter is determined to save his people by slaying every giant monster standing between him and the throne. But the angry ghost trapped inside the blade has other ideas. Buckle up for the brutal LitRPG ride of a lifetime Savage Hunters is an alternate-world neolothic fantasy. Characters grow their powers with explicit stat blocks presented right in the text, including levels, attribute scores, and unlockable skill trees. Experience is accumulated by battling enormous monsters the size of buildings. Political intrigue and romance elements ramp up as the series progresses. I originally wrote this story after playing Monster Hunter with my niece. She was 12 at the time, already an avid reader, and wanted to read my other published books. I'm a licensed psychotherapist specializing in severe trauma so I tend toward darker fiction. I told her my usual books are too brutal for her but I'd write her something special. The result was this series, which has been praised by both teens and adults for its depth and universal appeal. It begins with an emphasis on cultural elements because I consulted with a trained anthropologist to craft this neolithic setting down to exacting social detail. After these opening chapters, it rapidly shifts to an action-packed adventure. The first 3 books are fully written as of November 2020, totalling approximately 69 chapters. The first book has been professionally edited already. The following two books require some editing which I'll do on a chapter-by-chapter basis as releases progress. I welcome reviews and comments. Writing is a passion, and reader engagement makes my labor all the sweeter.
