The Urban Dao Child. Chapter 152
Advertisement
Yang Dao heard Tony confirming the situation check. He dusted his clothes took out this suppressed handgun and walked down the staircase leading to the roof after he gave an OK signal to Tony. This guy was very skilled, he arranged the three cameras and left a blind zone for himself and Yang Dao.
The dao child moved quickly but carefully. He crouched as he entered the staircase. He also made sure to avoid creating any sound as well by keeping his body away from the walls and the railings, lest he touched them accidentally. The target was residing a floor below.
Soon Yang Dao heard some voices, "Matthew, for how long do we have to stay here?"
"I don't know. Well, these higher-ups are crooked. They did not want to expose themselves so hired us. Humph, I hate cowards like this."
"Yet you love their money."
"That I certainly do." then the people burst into laughter. Yang Dao deducted from the varying voice pitch that there were 3 guards. he took out the skin mask from his jacket and put it on carefully. In his mind, he scolded himself, 'This was supposed to be done before entering the staircase.'
Thankfully he did not make any sound. He focused the wind around him. Using his elemental skill he gathered it in a ball as big as a human. Then guided the ball along the staircase and made it burst in front of the three guards.
The sudden strong wind made them all squint their eyes and Yang Dao quickly moved as soon as he made the ball burst.
PUFF, PUFF, PUFF...
Three consecutive headshots. The attack was swift and concise. Yang Dao ran up to the fallen guards. removed the cameras and placed them on the walls, quickly. Then joined his hands together to the corpses and said, "May you rest in peace." then he stepped over the dead bodies and peeked through the corridor entrance.

The place seemed to be deserted. He held his gun up, leveling with his shoulders and close to his body. Wherever his head moved, the muzzle was also following. He checked all the corners, and gaps as he proceeded toward the target location.
The whole floor seemed to have been cleared for safety reasons. Yang Dao did not dare to be careless even for a bit. He reached the last corridor on the floor and sensed two people with machine guns posted at the door of the room securing the target. He did not waste time, quickly rolled on the ground as he fired two shots.
The scene was as if an action movie was being played. Well, there were no special effects but the wind sense. The boy could locate everything within a kilometer and the accuracy will be to the point of a nano-meter. The same operation like the one on the staircase.
After placing the cameras on the wall. He searched the two guards and found a key card inside one guy's clothes. Using the key card he opened the door slowly. He slid inside the room and closed the door. He looked around and found nothing. Suddenly he heard someone singing loudly behind the closed door on the side.
Seemingly someone was enjoying a bathroom concert. Yang Dao had just came to the door when the door was opened from inside. A young man in his twenties came out. He froze when he saw Yang Dao. The latter already had his gun pointed at the young man.
The person did not even get to response or beg when a bullet passed through his brain, splashing a mix of red and white on the floor behind. The killer joined his hands and said, "Be loyal in next life."

Then he walked out of the room without any delay, leaving a bleeding cor[see behind him. Yang Dao prayed for the guards on the door and he left the place quicky.
...
On the roof, Tony was biting his nail in anxiety. He only let out breath when he saw Yang Dao coming out of the staircase. Then Tony fled from the top while Yang Dao went down from the stairs and exited the hotel from the main gate. The boy had killed three more guards and prayed for their peace before coming out. The reason was to mislead the investigators of this scene.
Outside the hotel, Carole sat inside a car. Soon Tony and Yang Dao also got inside an the trio left the scene.
...
A man, was observing the three poeple. He placed a hand near his mouth and said, "Retreat. Young Master is safe."
This man was one of the shadow guards Fenh Yun sent to guard Yang Dao without helping him at all. Ever since the time the boy was injured. Feng Yun had twenty people guarding him in rotation. They were all elementals and knew how to avoid detection. They did not want YanG Dao to know about their existence lest he deliberately let down his guard.
The purpose was to protect him and not make him dependant on them.
...
Yang Dao and the two people returned to their hideout. Carole asked, "What do you think we should do about the next two targets? This operation is too time consuming and also risky."
Yang Dao said, "If we rushed they might kill our agents. That risk is not worth it." he was sprawled on the bed as he said this.
Tony also nodded, "This time, I was almost killed by these fuckers. Things are not easy. How do you avoid being pictured the whole time you are outside your home? Too much hassle."
Carole said, "If only I could control a guard and have them assassinate the targets for us." her voice sounded helpless at this moment.
Yang Dao said, "Give me half an hour and then I will try to make your wish come true."
The boy was tired from all the climbing and stuff. he picked up the satellite phone and called back to HQ. The message was small, "First round of pest control was success. No infection on our side."
After he disconnected the call he asked, "Who came up with the codes we use?" with his bows frowned causing the two people smile.

Paternum: A Superhero Story
When Quinn finds an experimental superpower-granting costume in their parents’ attic, they didn’t expect to be drawn into a web of superhuman intrigue, but their discovery serves as the catalyst for that conspiracy to slowly unravel. At it’s heart, Paternum is an extended coming-of-age story for the main character as they become a superhero, in a world with more reasonable stakes and less powerful heroes than many superheroic worlds. Themes include what art means to different people, and what it means to be a patron, whether as a sponsor, a parent, or a supporter. I consider Paternum‘s primary influences to be the various versions of Spider-Man, J. C. McCrae’s own superhero story Worm, and Drew Hayes’ story SuperPowereds. I hope that fans of such stories can find something to enjoy in mine as well. Paternum is primarily hosted on my website (thevoidwrites.com) where it updates weekly in groups of scenes totalling approximately 2000 words. Here on Royal Road, it will update once daily with one scene at a time, but only after each act is completed on the home site - the next batch of updates is scheduled to begin on February 5th. There is a discord channel for discussion (discordapp.com/invite/QFMM6yA), and you can vote for Paternum on topwebfiction (topwebfiction.com/vote.php?for=paternum) as well. Finally, you can buy the first book of Paternum, The Swift Uplifting Rush, in a couple different ways - as an ebook through Amazon, or directly from me for a discounted price, or as a physical paperback from Amazon. Buying the book will give you access to Drawing Hands, an exclusive arc that won't ever be published on either my site or Royal Road.
