The Urban Dao Child.

Yang Dao swaggered out of the class with his bag flung over his shoulder. He walked through the corridors with a poker face. Yang Dao was not a cold-nature person, but this face helped him avoid unwanted interactions with just everyone, who thinks he looks good. The boy did not dilly dally and came to the library quickly. He was about to enter when his mobile vibrated. 

Yang Dao set the phone on vibration in the college to avoid disturbance. He fished out the phone from his pocket and saw an unknown number calling him. He picked up the call and spoke in a bland voice, "Hello?"

The other side spoke, "Hello, is this Yang Dao?" the voice was familiar but Yang Dao could not recall whom it belonged to. He responded, "Yes, who am I talking to?"

The other side replied, "I am Mikhail Goldberg. We met last night."

Yang Dao nodded in recognition. He asked in a cold tone, "What did you call me for? Mr. Goldberg."

Mikhail Goldberg spoke, "My father, would like to ask you if he could have a meal with you. He believes that someone as talented as you should be interacted with. This exchange will help both sides grow. Would it be possible?"

Yang Dao raised an eyebrow. After thinking for some time he said, "Okay, I will tell you about it soon."

Mikhail replied politely, "Yes, I will wait for your call."

Yang Dao disconnected the call. He did not put the phone back in his pocket but called Feng Yun. The call connected, and it rang.

...

Feng Yun was in a meeting with some clients from Crypto Nation. The meeting was being held so that the Phoenix Group could get a more advanced version of some techs. At this moment her cellphone was held by Mary. The mobile in her hand vibrated, and she glanced at the screen. The contact was saved by the name, "Young Master"

Mary picked up the call and spoke, "Hello, Young Master, President Feng is in a meeting."

Yang Dao asked, "When will she come out?" he asked in a calm tone.

Mary spoke somewhat hesitantly, "That, I am unsure of it."

Yang Dao was also confused. He asked, "Can you pass on a message?"

Mary gave him a positive response. Yang Dao told her about Mikhail\'s call briefly. Since he was not sure how to respond to the other party he asked for Feng Yun\'s advice. Mary affirmed to him she will convey the message word to word as soon as President Feng comes out of the meeting. Yang Dao hung up the call and went inside the library to quench his thirst for knowledge. 

The rest of the day Yang Dao had no classes to attend, and when inside the library he was lost in the books completely. On the table beside him were four thick books of computer operations. Yang Dao would always read based on his mood. Somehow today he wanted to indulge in computer operations. Last Time he saw the SMART BUTLER SYSTEM in the phoenix group that left a deep impression on him.

Yang Dao wanted to make a name in the technology business. Also, he never liked how the country he lives in was the biggest market of a foreign nation. The people from the foreign nation would always look down on them. In his second year of high-school, one won a contest and went on a trip to the crypto nation. He was very excited, but the way people in the crypto nation gazed at him made him feel disgusted with the place. He decided that in the future he would make these people in the Crypto nation beg him for cooperation. 

The Crypto Nation may be advanced, but they were more polluted, they had to import food grains every month. It was only their technology that gave them the right to look down on the other nations. They would not pay for the food they import with money, but with technology. Such as mobile phones and automobiles. These people were so clever that they had all the exported goods equipped with traps. As soon as anyone tries to open up the equipment, the internal chips and circuits would fry. 

Yang Dao has been researching and compiling notes ever since he came back from the crypto nation. He had five things in his mind, clean energy, hands-free mobile, automated public transport, zero-emission vehicle, and last, space exploration. Though now becoming an elemental has also taken up a large part of his mind. Yet he does not want to give up. Yang Dao was never someone with ambition, yet that one week in Crypto Nation, the constant feeling of being looked down on by the natives made him angry. 

The people visiting the Crypto Nation were asked to wear a red armband. This armband was like an identity card for them. Yang Dao wanted to make the people of the Crypto Nation feel the same way. In high school, he was reading university courses and now in graduation, he was reading a doctorate thesis by various experts. There were a lot of experts from the Crypto nation as well. Yang Dao would never hesitate in acknowledging someone\'s skills, but the discrimination was something he hated. He hated snobs to the point of being cynical in this matter. 

It was dusk when his phone rang. Yang Dao rubbed his eyes a little and saw it was Icarus Calling him. Yang Dao picked up the call and a loud voice greeted him. Icarus spoke, "You are late for practice. Hurry up the coach will scold you otherwise."

Yang Dao hung up and put the books back to the shelf assigned for them and rushed out of the library. The whole process was completed in five minutes. He rushed into the locker room and saw everyone was just about ready to leave. He also came to the back and put on his black helmet and gloves. Then he pushed his bike out of in the open. He did a short warm-up on the roller and some stretching to get ready. 

Thomas spoke, "We are going to the sapphire lake today. Those who live on the way can leave directly when we are coming back. Okay, Let\'s go." with those words he stepped out. 

Yang Dao also followed them silently riding the bike. Icarus was burning in his heart with envy, but he did not dare to ask Yang Dao for the bike. This bike was worth 2 billion and another thing he was worried about was, if he enjoyed riding it then he will ask Yang Dao again and again. That would not be good for his face. Yang Dao was unaware of all this, and he was lost in his own thoughts. Unknowingly his speed was increasing. 

Icarus was keeping up with him with ease. According to the rules, the first years should ride behind the second year, but Yang Dao was going a little too fast. The team was riding in the bike lane and their speed wasn\'t that fast. Yang Dao was too fast and overtook a motorbike on the main road. He did not slow down and passed Thomas Shuttler. The bike lane had a speed limit. 

Icarus on the side spoke, "If you are caught riding at such a speed in the bike lane then they will seize your bike, slow down or jump on the main road."

Yang Dao nodded and jumped on the main road. The motorbike riders were shocked and so were some car drivers. The team practice as usual and they would often ride on the main road. But they would never do it alone. Yang Dao clicked his front gear and switched to the fourth gear, then he stood up and spoke to Icarus, "I am going ahead."

Yang Dao pedaled and the team that sped up behind him yelled, "The Speed-star is here."

Speed-Star was the moniker they gave Yang Dao. Icarus was stunned by the yell, but when he looked ahead Yang Dao was moving like a ghost on the road. He spoke after falling back to Thomas\'s side, "Capitan, how about changing the Moniker to Silent Ghost. His bike is called \'Silence\' after all."

Yang Dao did not know that he was named Silent Ghost. At this moment his heart was facing a lot of ghosts. He did not want Feng Yun to deal with those snobs, but he did not want to meddle into her business as well. This confusion was making him restless. Yang Dao was sprinting on the road because he wanted to find a solution and that too, a plausible one. When he was about to stop at a red signal, the signal turned green. Under the green light, Yang Dao smiled brightly. He made a decision that will change the Jewel Nation completely. 

He made a turn to enter the road following along the sapphire lake and he sensed the phone in his bag ringing.
