Yang Dao said, "Would you like to play a game? One question for each of us. You can start first."

Eric knew that the boy was seeking information. The Bandit beauty was also aware of this, she had seen how this charming devil had pointed out the secrets of her troupe. She was vigilant in her heart.

The boy smiled and said, "You can relax, I am not an evil capitalist." he turned to Sasha and said, "Where is your mobile?"

The blonde did not turn her head and handed him the mobile. Yang Dao chuckled, "You also bought it?" as his hands moved on the mobile screen.

Sasha replied, "This is too good, Dao. I have almost forgotten how to use a phone, just one command, and Lisa will do it for you. By the way, why do you not use the phone your company made for yourself?" her question was not fitting with the scene, but it was a good catalyst to relax the tension inside the vehicle.

Yang Dao said, "The reason is very simple, Sister Yun said, 'You should wait for a better higher quality model to be launched and then use that. This one is not very complimentary to your status.' then she got me the one I am using now."

Sasha snickered and said, "Damn you, rich people."

Dao chuckled and said, "Hey, that is my sister. I am still not very rich, neither does it make a difference to me."

Sasha replied, "That is obvious, your company is donating almost all the profit to society and making the world a better place. Hey, do you think you can set up a helping hand office in this place? There are a lot of people who can use help."

Yang Dao said, "Yeah, why not? I will have mary work on it after she settles the things on her hand." his gaze was locked on the mobile screen. Then suddenly he looked up at the bandit beauty and said, "Since you have not questioned then let me ask, Given how well educated you are, why do you do this?"

The girl did not reply but the surprise in her eyes was obvious. She did not know how did this guy come up with this? She asked, "How do you know?"

Her voice was akin to an oriole singing. The boy smiled and said, "How did I know what?"

The beauty said, "Everything, the number of real guns, my identity, how did you know it all? Who the heck are you?"

The boy replied, "When the people were laughing and taunting only you were quiet and looking around to check for traps. That is the attitude of a good leader. Also, you could have been just another dumb rookie in the gang, but still had to take a gamble.

About the guns, when someone holds a real gun in their hands they are brimming with confidence. When I shot you and rushed to take you hostage, only ten of your people were aiming at me while the rest had put their guns down. Otherwise, from the position I was standing, at least two people could have shot me.

As for your education and qualification, I am a computer nerd, I can find the stuff I want to with a little effort. You can assure though Senior Marian, I am not against you or your goals until I know what they are." his calm words were followed by the power of the thunder.

Thunder, so loud that it almost shattered the beauty bandit from inside. She could not think of how this guy could do all this. The shock was not only for her but even for Eric. The army veteran was stunned, he could not help but look at the boy in the back seat from the corner of his eye. So many things were not even noticed by him, yet this youngster could do it. How? Has he wasted his life?

Yang Dao sent another guy in existential crisis. He asked the girl, "So, would you tell me, why are you doing this?"

Marian seemed to have lost her soul. She just gazed at him with a blank gaze. The boy shook his head slightly and said, "Looks like I have to contact, Piff, Jeremy, Sabina, Elton..."

Marian woke up and said, "NO, NO, I will tell you everything. Please leave them out of this. I beg you." her expression was horrible. She was scared, this guy in front of her had even found out the names of the people in her gang, and some of them were closest to her.

She did not want her group to suffer. So, she started begging. Yang Dao knew that his soft approach was misunderstood but he was in no mood to clear the haze. he wanted information to decide what to do. he said, "calm down, and then you can tell me what I ask you. I assure you, till the moment you cooperate with me, I will not move against you or your people. But do not take me for a fool."

The girl nodded repeatedly. Then she took a few deep breathes to calm herself down. After a few seconds, she said, "We all are the villagers in these mountain ranges. The resources are scarce and our families are having trouble getting by. A few months ago, some big-time mining company arrived claiming that they have the governmental permission to dig on our farms and that we have been living here illegally.

Overnight, they asked us to move away. We could do nothing against them, they had the documents and were accompanied by some armed people. A few men tried to protest but were injured seriously, lacking medical supplies, they died. Hapless, we could only move from our ancestral land. These people stopped their activities a few days ago, but our people cannot go back there.

The land is nothing close to what it used to be. So, when we moved out from the villages we decided to form a group and have them deal with the so-called rich. Until today, we have never failed. We have never killed any innocent, but I will not deny that we have killed 3 people. They were responsible for the death of my fellow villagers."

Tears filled the girl's eyes as she recounted what pushed her people to do such lowly and sinful acts of robbing. Yang Dao asked, "I will help you. Within a week. Things will be mended. Till then ask your people to calm down and not to act rashly. I give you my word."

With that, he sat down with his eyes closed. The boy was pondering on how to keep his promise.
