The Urban Dao Child

Yang Dao led the two people riding a black motorbike in the garage. The reason he did not ride along with these two was that he could act better alone. The strength of the two people would hinder his actions. Thus, by taking the lead, he can play the role of a decoy. That is why he left his bow hanging on his back.

This move helped him keep the void summoning a secret from the other two, while it will also draw the attention of the assailants. The black bike was a super bike, a beast made to chase the peak of speed and agility. Compared to a car, two-wheelers had better fluidity to weave through the traffic. Yang Dao had connected himself to Tony and Carole through a conference call.

He said while riding the bike, "Maintain a hundred-meter distance from me. Carole, I will scout and you will use the sniper to take down the sentries deployed by the enemy."

Carole nodded and replied, "Copy that."

The girl was riding in the back seat. She held a sniper rifle and was attaching a suppressor to the muzzle. Hearing her confirmation, Yang Dao said, "Tony, the strength of these hyper humans is equal to a level four Elementalist. You are level three. Would you be able to play support?"

Tony was aware of Yang Dao's strength. He nodded and said, "I thought you will never ask."

"The scouting range of the hyper humans is still one kilometer. That means Carole will be setting up the spot at one thousand one hundred meters. I will lead the point. We engage one target at a time. Tony, if you are targeted, then do not hesitate to use earth escape." instructed Yang Dao.

Tony was a practitioner of the earth element and earth escape was the basic trick they all learned to save themselves when in danger. The guy had no problem. He was aware that his strength was a shackle for the team and agreed. Carole was listening to all this, and she nodded in appreciation of Yang Dao.

As the leader, he had given them crucial roles but took on all the danger for himself. Yang Dao was unaware of the thoughts of his team and landed his bike to the right to take a high-speed turn. The people were all scared to see the scene. It was as if a racer was turning on a track. Yang Dao had a speed of at least a hundred kilometers. The boy had no hesitation in his mind. He had tied his mobile to his thigh. With a touch of his finger, he put the call on mute and said, "RALF, what is the team composition of the hyper humans?"

RALF had downloaded itself inside his mobile phone the day before, so it could hear all the things and can act anytime Yang Dao calls upon it. The AI responded, "Given the data from the Ministry of War, the targets act in a batch of three, one hyper human specializes in scouting, with their eyes replaced with a camera, capable of zooming in for one kilometer and still can scan thermal and infrared images.

The other two assailants have gone through physical up-gradation. The vitals spot cannot be breached, they are covered with carbonium alloy skin webbing. The bones are thirty percent denser than a normal human. Senses are all enhanced to the same ratio."

Yang Dao took a deep breath. He asked, "Any update in the target's movement?"

He had asked RALF to monitor the two parties, party A Frieda Foster, and party B Hyper humans. The AI replied, "Target B has secured a parameter around Party A's nest. Party A will take twenty minutes to arrive at the nest."

The nest was at Frieda's house. Yang Dao asked RALF to remind him when they are about to enter the one-kilometer radius of the location. He did not want to startle the snake so soon. After ten minutes, they all reached the edge of the location.

Carole said, "The area has a lot of civilian activity."

She was now sitting on top of the terrace of a building. Beside her lay a big sniper rifle as she peeked through with a pair of high-resolution binoculars. Tony was walking on the side of the road with a cigarette in his mouth and said, "Yes, how to take out the target silently?"

Yang Dao said, "This is a residential complex. The hyper humans are waiting for the people to get home. They also want to keep it as silent as they can. Even if they want to avoid attention, at this moment there will be a limit to it."

Carole said, "Well, you better inform Frieda about her accommodation not being a very good place to sleep tonight." she had put down the binocular and was now lying behind the sniper rifle peeking through the scope.

Yang Dao nodded and said, "I was thinking what excuse should I give her. I am not too good at lying, you know." this silly reason was why he had not yet called Frieda and stop her from coming to the place.

Carole said, "Tell her that the maintenance found bed bugs and the place is sanitized. She cannot come over." her tone was calm and without any fluctuation.

Tony leaned against a wall and chuckled. He asked, "What novel did you steal this line from?"

Carole said, "Ten ways to get away will a murder." in a serious tone.

Tony chuckled. Yang Dao shook his head with a smile as he made the call to Frieda. The call connected, and a yawn greeted him from the other side.

Yang Dao asked, "Where are you, Senior Frieda?"

The girl replied, "Reaching home in a bit. Why?"

Yang Dao said, "Oh, well, can you go back to the office to stay. The maintenance called just now. They found a bed bug so, the place is sealed after sanitization. You cannot stay there."

Frieda was surprised and said, "Well, okay, can I go to your place and check out RALF?"

Yang Dao agreed, and the girl paid the cab driver an extra hundred dollars to turn the cab to the Sapphire lake residency. The boy heaved a sigh of relief and said to the team, "I just found out that it can be fun to lie sometimes."

The other two chuckled and Carole said, "We are a bad influence on the Idol man."

Yang Dao smiled and said in his mind, "Sushi, go find me where are the people hiding."

The tiny girl came out of his hair and said, "On it, master." then she saluted him and flew off.
