The Urban Dao Child. Chapter 155
Advertisement
Yang Dao and the others were been escorted back by the navy. The people were immediately taken care of and provided with basic medical help. For the rest of the journey, they could rest. Since this was the first assignment, Yang Dao was tired to the core. He had never been so much under pressure. He and Tony shared a compact bunk bed space.
Suddenly, Tony said, "Thankfully, things are finally over." he was lying on the lower bunk bed.
Yang Dao said, "We were still too lucky you know? All this time, it can be said that we were being helped by the providence itself. Our plan had so many loopholes." His voice displayed how thankful; he was for the completion of this mission.
Tony replied, "Nobody is perfect. Also, this was the first time you came to such a task." he tried to console.
Yang Dao said, "I am not suited for covert operations. This is for sure. At least not until I have some experience, as you said. The pressure and stress are unhealthy for my body. I am just a college student." he sighed exasperatedly.
Tony heard him and laughed. He said, "You will get the hang of it after a few times. You will have loopholes, while the other people will have loopholes too. Did you not exploit them this time? No one is perfect. In the end, it all comes down to one factor that cannot be calculated."
Yang Dao asked, "What is that factor? Oh, wise one?" the boy added a touch of dramatics in his question.
Tony also played along, "Listen well, thee ignorant. Luck. The answer is luck. Cannot be counted and cannot be depended on. Yet it plays a significant role. Just like how you successfully broke through that Cryptonian developer."

Yang Dao was surprised. He thought about what he heard and agreed with it. the Cryptonian Developer was definitely a stroke of luck now that he looks at it. The video was definitely created artificially and if that developer ran it through a simple test. Things would have not been so smooth for them.
Despite being an IP address belonging to the Crypto nation. That developer could have verified if it was actually being used as a relay. Similarly, a lot of loopholes were left in the plan's execution. If you ask Yang Dao, then he would say that except for the killing thing nothing else was perfect.
As he was lost in thoughts, his body relaxed and he fell asleep.
...
While the Dao Child was asleep, the data he released on the global internet struck like a nuclear missile. The world media was shaken by the evidence. In one hour, the entire world knew about the atrocities committed in the Garden islands.
Flower Palace, Garden Island.
A man sat in his office wearing formal attire. The man had thick brows and sharp eyes. He was the Prime minister of the Garden Island. At this moment, he sat in the head position in a conference room with a sullen face.
Around the table sat the rest of the cabinet ministers of the country. The prime minister said, "Someone tells me what the fuck is going on in our country? There are already citizens condemning us. The media is on to us. We have become a worldwide target."
His voice was calm, but the anger was conveyed by his eyes. A guy spoke, "We did not know that they were doing human experiments."
...
As the people were discussing who to blame, tourists were canceling their tickets. They decided not to travel abroad. At the same moment, Feng Yun operated her company. All the tourist subsidiaries pulled back from the country after they issued an official statement, "The Phoenix Group does not associate with countries that support such sinful acts to be committed on their land."

Garden Island was also a big name among the parties who ordered driverless cars. But after this event, the order was canceled, and the money was refunded too. After Feng Yun, a lot of foreign companies issued similar statements and pulled out of the country.
This quick action immediately made their public value sore and the stock market went through another storm.
...
While garden Island was facing a disaster, the same thing was true for some corrupt and irresponsible officials in the Jewel nation. Feng Yun collected economic evidence of the crimes, while she had the capitalists in the country decide for themselves what they choose. She gave them a choice to correct their mistakes or to have them all cleaned.
She was not omnipotent yet. So she killed the chickens to scare the monkeys. She ruined five big companies by snitching on them after six hours of her ultimatum. She even said that it was the first round.
This was enough to clear up the doubts among the masses, and the people corrected themselves. If they all knew that Feng Yun did not have any evidence against them. Would they puke blood?
...
Atsuji Kurogame took command and led the governmental agencies to first hold internal raids. Then after six hours, they took down all big and small names in the country. His actions alerted the cabinet.
An emergency meeting was called. Atsuji Kurogame simply told them how someone dared to cover up the data gathered by Yang Dao and his team. His logic was that if the agent and the soldiers did not feel good about the cause they are shedding blood and sweat with both hands, the nation will fall before they could even think about it.
With that, the internal cleansing began. People were nabbed and imprisoned. They were all to be dealt with following their crimes. Laohu Bai was also ordered by the prime minister to take action. Atsuji Kurogame was the senior-most minister and the Prime minister agreed with him. It was time for a clean-up.
In 12 hours, Yang Dao's commands changed the face of the system. While the Garden Island bled with fame, prestige, and money. The Jewel nation bled with sinners and corruption.
The two were xperiencing purge, but the difference was that while one was being damaged, the other was being rejuvenated
