BXBX NOVEL Chapter 141 - Dog Child?
Yang Dao got back home and took a shower. He changed into a dark grey suit, paired with a black shirt inside. A pair of black oxford shoes and a pair of black ruby stud cufflinks. He walked outside the cloakroom with a gift-wrapped brocade box in his hand. This bow was Icarus's gift. He spotted Lisa, who was about to go inside the kitchen, and said, "Lisa, do not prepare a meal for me. I am going to a banquet. Okay?"
Lisa nodded with a smile and said, "Be careful on the road, Young Master." she followed him to the door.
Yang Dao came down to the parking lot and drove his car out. The sun was setting and the black car looked like an emissary of night. The guards saluted the boy as the vehicle drove away from the residency. A few owners in the residency asked the guards and the community manager about the person and the vehicle.
Many people come back home from work, the vehicle was so dashing that it aroused their curiosity and they made inquiries. They were shocked to find that it was Young Master Feng. Soon the owners discussed in the community group how to get close to this guy.
Yang Dao drove the car on the road, following a GPS location to Icarus's house. The banquet starts at eight. He was driving slowly and leisurely as if showing off his car to the world. None of the cars on the road door close to him. As if a plague the people wanted to avoid.
The boy took it as if the people were disciplined. Only after half an hour of travel did, the boy stepped on the accelerator and the vehicle shot out like a bullet. He drove to the central region of the city within one hour and thirty minutes.
He came to the door of a mansion. It looked like a mix between the Persian and Victorian era. A guard came to his window and asked gently, "How may I help you, Sir?"
Yang Dao replied, "My name is Feng Yang Dao, Icarus Stern invited me for a banquet." His tone was polite as well.
The guard nodded and said, "The Young Master has informed us beforehand, you can go in, please." he made a please gesture.
Yang Dao nodded and drove the vehicle past the main gate. The guard picked up a walkie-talkie and said, "Inform the Young Master, his important guest has arrived."
...
The Dao Child parked his vehicle in the parking space designated for the visitors. He got out of the car holding a gift box. A maid dress in a Navy-blue skirt and white pleated blouse bowed to him and said, "Sir, please follow me. I will take you to the guest reception"
Yang Dao nodded and walked behind the maid. The maid was a beautiful lady but did the Dao Child lacked beauty? The two walked on the tiled pathway. On the way, he glanced at the flowers and plants at the sides of the pathway. He nodded in acknowledgment. The high-class families still knew how to arrange gardens.
Soon, the two arrived at the reception. The place was very cheerful, a lot of young boys and girls were having fun together. Some were dancing, while some were laughing together with glasses of wine and other spirits in their hands. Yang Dao's arrival attracted little attention.
The boy glanced around and spotted some familiar faces. One of them being Mikhail Goldberg. He recalled Icarus was his cousin. Locating a secluded corner, Yang Dao walked over and sat down in a chair. He did not have any friends here, neither was he interested in knowing the people. The same applied to other people. They did not know him and were not keen on knowing him.
The boy took out his mobile and used his personal funds to buy the stocks he deemed worthy. He also texted Feng Yun to lend him a lab space until his own lab is completed. The lady did not hesitate and had the best lab in the company emptied. The researchers working there were all asked to work in other labs.
Yang Dao also calculated the problems and questions he discussed with Professor newt in the day. Suddenly he woke up from his stupor. A beautiful lady wearing a white and blue gown stood in front of him. Her long black hair fell over her shoulders like a waterfall of night. They reached her knees.
Yang Dao raised his head to look at her picturesque face. He asked, "How may I help you?"
The lady noticed that Yang Dao had a clear gaze. She nodded, thinking, 'Indeed, unlike others.' Her beauty was higher to the level where it almost caught up with Feng Yun and Laohu Bai. She asked, "May I ask if I can sit down with you?"
Yang Dao thought little and nodded to her. He put his head back to the mobile screen. The girl spoke up again, Hello, My name is Genie Jasper. May ask who you are?"
Yang Dao understood now he cannot work. So he stuffed the mobile back in his pocket and said, "My name is Feng Yang Dao. Nice to meet you."
The girl revealed a pretty smile and nodded as she said, "So, it is Young Master Feng. You have been quite a talk of the town. Congratulations."
Yang Dao simply thanked her. He had no intention to talk to her. The girl, however, was not so bright she asked, "Icarus is your?"
Yang Dao replied, "Classmate."
The lady nodded and said, "I am the daughter of your current principal. I will transfer to your uni soon. I came back from Crypto nation."
Yang Dao was surprised. he asked, "Why did you come back from there?"
Genie replied, "The sanctions imposed by Jewel nation, made the situation for the outsiders in that nation a lot worse. The fees of receiving an education were already twice as much as the normal but now it has been tripled. So I had no choice but to come back over."
Her voice carried a hint of irritation and anger. Yang Dao asked, "So, do you think what the Jewel nation did was wrong?"
The girl shook her head and said, "No, I have suffered the Crypto nation for a year, and I am very grateful that this happened. My father is actually a citizen of the Crypto nation. I was born out of wedlock. I am what you can call a half-breed." she looked downcast at this moment.
Yang Dao said, "I do not discriminate among humans. I discriminate against their deeds. Your deeds make you a god or a demon." his voice was calm yet the thought he just expressed carried a deep and heavy message.
Genie had heard of him from Icarus and her mother. Before, she was the university principal. Aislinn Jasper was a teacher, and Icarus had studied under her guidance. So the two were familiar with each other. And would often chat. Yang Dao fell silent and suddenly Genie said, "You are quite an interesting person, Young Master Feng."
The boy nodded and said, "You too, Miss Jasper." Just as the lady was about to continue, the birthday boy arrived. Icarus wore a black and red suit. He looked dashing. He scanned the crowd and his gaze fell on Yang Dao.
After he greeted a few people, he came to Yang Dao. He gave him a bear hug and asked, "Did you experience any discomfort?"
The latter shook his head and said, 'Happy birthday." with that said, he took the gift box and gave it to Icarus. he asked, "The team did not come?'
Icarus shook his head and said, "They made an excuse, I will screw them tomorrow." Yang Dao nodded and asked, "When can I eat? I only came here for the food."
The birthday boy said, "Come, the banquet is about to start I will introduce you to my parents. My dad especially wants to see you, but I say that you make a good impression on my mom. She controls the stuff at home. You know what I mean?"
Yang Dao said, "Dude, I can leave now. You don't have to act as if I am the girl you love and introduce me to your parents. I don't have such heavy tastes."
Hearing this Icarus immediately smacked the back of his head, "He said, shut up, bitch. I am not into men as well. Come along with me."
Yang Dao laughed as he rubbed the back of his head. He followed Icarus to the banquet hall. Instinctively his nose moved, and he mumbled, "Chicken Roast, cheese and green onion salad, tofu curry, sashimi, you have 8 flavors of ice cream? Damn, you spent a lot this time. I smell paradise hotel deviled eggs and also stir-fry chicken noodles."
Icarus held his forehead in a palm while Genie, who also followed without being called, had her eyes wide open. The former asked, "You have a smell detector in your nose, or are you born in the dog constellation?"
Yang Dao rubbed his nose. He was a foodie with immense experience, plus now that he has become an elemental contractor, his sense of smell has been enhanced by a lot.
