The Urban Dao Child.

Yang Dao asked, "What is it, tell me." his voice was cold. He could tell by Feng Yun\'s tone that something terrible was discovered and the government was playing hide and seek in this matter. 

Feng Yun said, "The shadow guards found out that some people from world governments have been conspiring with the New Dawn. They all have been involved in human trafficking. The government of Jewel Nation also had some people like this among the cabinet but they were all weeded out after a thorough investigation by us during the last few swipes. 

However, now, a group called slave collectors have surfaced and they target little children from all over the world, then hand them over to New Dawn in exchange for money. The amount is transferred in small installments that look like a regular income. These people portray as law-abiding white-collar workers.  We have tracked some people but the number is in single digits."

Yang Dao took a deep breath and calmed his anger and said, "Why did you not use RALF?" 

Feng Yun said, "I did ask it to find me the evidence. But it said that the other side has also started to use their AI to cover up the trials. Despite all its efforts, track down was not successful." 

As Yang Dao heard this, his face became solemn, he did not expect such a thing to happen. He stood up and said, "I had called RALF to deliver my set of clothing earlier. I will be using the special room you have here to change and groom myself. Prepare a car. I am going to the crown." 

Feng Yun bowed and said, "Yes Master." she acted according to Yang Dao\'s mood. She knew that the conversation just now was not done between family but a master and a servant. 

The boy put down the holographic tab and stood up from the chair. He came around the table and walked to the small room adjoined to the cabin. This room was used by Feng Yun rarely when she would be staying in the office itself during the early days. 

The black ring was still held in Feng Yun\'s palm. Suddenly it vibrated, reminding Feng Yun to hand it over to Yang Dao. The lady woke up and said, "Master." 

Yang Dao turned back with a solemn face and asked, "What is it?" 

Feng Yun heard his calm yet cold voice and gulped. She said, "Amber turned into a ring, you can wear her on your finger and she might come in handy." 

Amber wanted to cry, \'Your highness, can you not undermine me like this? I have some skills you know.\' 

Yang Dao did not say anything and extended his hand. Amber could still control itself and it flew over, landing accurately in his palm. The boy nodded and put it on his right index finger. The ring adjusted to the size of his finger. 

The boy walked inside the room and took off his clothes, he entered the bathroom and took a shower, cleaning himself thoroughly. Then he took a look at himself in the mirror. He mumbled, "I need to shave." 

However, then something clicked to him, and all the shallow facial hair on his face began to shed as if sharply cut. He used the wind to shave. This was his degree of control over the elements after he had reached the level of a god-prince. 

After drying himself up, he walked outside the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist. He did not see RALF but Lisa standing in front of him. The boy was surprised and asked, "Lisa, how come you are here?" 

The maid was standing near a floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the world outside. She was startled when she heard the voice. She turned around and bowed to Yang Dao. She said in her mellow voice, "Master, have I made any mistakes in serving you?" 

Yang Dao said, "No."

The girl asked with her head still bowed, "Then, why am I being ignored and not allowed to be of use to you?" 

Yang Dao was surprised and asked, "What do you mean Lisa? These days I have not been at leisure like I used to be in the past. Do not think such things. Okay?" 

Usually, the girl would have agreed to it but today she was particularly adamant. She suddenly knelt on the floor and banged her head on the ground. She said, "Master, I had no purpose in life, I had no sense of being. lady Feng Yun took me in because she pitied me. However, when I met you for the first time, you communicated with me in the method I was profuse with. 

You taught me, gave me the right to stand out there in the world and claim a piece of it for myself. I was very happy. I thought that finally, someone needs me. This sense of being wanted, made me put in all my effort into progressing. However, when I thought I have achieved something that you can be proud of, I see myself discarded. Please tell me what do I do." 

Her voice was resonating with Yang Dao\'s heart. He was surprised and said, "You dummy. I have always treated you how I should treat a human. You are my friend and that was why I helped you. Since you think that I have discarded you, I will make this go away. Remember, I appointed you as my secretary?" 

The girl nodded, Yang Dao said, "I will promote you. You will be my prime interrogator. You will learn all the skills to follow me in the battle to come. Do you accept?" 

His words have made her surprised and she raised her head and said, "Yes, I accept." 

Suddenly, Amber vibrated. Yang Dao asked, "What is it?" 

The bird said, "Master, her voice has a similar power like that of the Resonance Oriole. A spirit beast extinct from the world. If this girl can learn those skills, she can make people do as she wishes with her voice. However, this skill will work only on those who are weaker than her." 

Yang Dao figured that as an ancient spirit bird, the golden crow might have some knowledge that he does not so he nodded and said, "We train her later. But now I have work to deal with."

He said to Lisa, "Go to Sister Yun. Tell her to get your training started. You have participated in military training at the university so you might still have some muscle memory left.. After a week, depending on your performance, you will follow me."
