The Urban Dao Child.

Tiberius continued. "Since it is behind enemy lines. You will not receive much support but your exit has been secured and you can use it anytime you think the situation is getting out of hand. 

Do you agree?"

Yang Dao thought for a bit and said, "Yes Sir. Permission to speak freely."

The old man nodded as he raised his brows slightly. Yang Dao said, "I would like to get a detailed report of the following events. Such as the time of the last contact, the last assignment the missing agents were given, their assets in the territory, and also their alias. Other than that, I hope I have some decision-making rank in the investigation team."

Tiberius smiled and nodded. "Granted," he said loudly, shocking everyone in the room. They did not understand why this tender boy was granted all his wishes. 

Yang Dao asked, "When do we leave?"

Tiberius told him, he will regroup with his team in an hour. Yang Dao nodded and walked out of the room. He called Lisa and told her he will be away from home for a few days and that she should go to Dao Courtyard. He also called Kiya and asked her to help him with a leave. 

The reason was that he needed time for his research. Then he called Frieda. The call was connected and a sleepy voice came out of the speaker, "Hello."

The boy spoke with a smile, "Senior Frieda, it is Yang Dao."

The girl woke up a bit. She asked, "What is it?"

"Senior, something urgent came up, and I will have to go out of the country for a few days. Someone will contact you and they will help you with the lab space in the morning. Is that okay?"

Frieda became anxious suddenly. She said, "When will you be back, how will I do the experiments alone?"

Yang Dao smiled and said, "An expert will help you with the apparatus. You can have Kiya from my class, lend you a hand. It will be fine and if not then do not worry I will be back soon and we will finish it before your deadline. Please be assured."

He gave her alternatives for every problem she could think of. He even patched Kiya in the call. After he was done with these, he called Feng Yun. 

The call connected and the other person spoke up first. "Young Master, how come you remember calling me?"

The Dao Child chuckled and said, "We talk daily, Sister Yun. Also, I have to tell you something important. I have little time. I am being deployed for a military task. You can find out the rest from the elder, and I apologize to say, but can you contact Frieda Foster tomorrow? I promised her to help and now this thing came up..." 

He felt guilty in his heart. Feng Yun was not his subordinate or servant to him. She was the person closest to him. Ever since the first time she came in front of him, his heart has held a strong bond with her. 

Feng Yun said, "I will do whatever you ask me to do. I only want you to be safe and calm when you go out there. Only when you are calm can you handle such unfamiliar situations, okay? Do not worry about anything else. I have your back." her voice sounded even more soothing than usual. 

The Boy asked her to arrange a pick up for Lisa from sapphire lake residency. After that Yang Dao called Laohu Bai and found her cellphone out of reach. Seems like she is out of the country as well. he did not bother with Ryu Jinshi, the cold man. 

He heard some footsteps behind him. When he turned around, he found a boy and a girl, similar to his age. What surprised him was that he knew the girl. It was Carole Tepes. He did not have a good impression of this girl in front of him. 

As for the boy, he wore a pair of glasses on his nose. He had a geeky air about him. He was as tall as Yang Dao, with pale skin. A soldier was following behind them. As the three people approached Yang Dao, the soldier said, "These are you teammates for the team, sir. They are arranged by the higher-ups."

The boy said thanks and the soldier left. Carole Tepes said, "I will first apologize for that day. I only hope that you can look past our differences and do our best on the mission." her tone was that of a senior. She thought of Yang Dao as a newbie. 

The Dao Child gazed at her and said, "I will say nothing much, but I treat others the way they treat me. Asking me to trust you two completely unknown people is a bit too much." 

The boy with glasses said, "Fair enough. Yeah, my name is Tony Jose. Let's work well together."

Yang Dao nodded and made the introductions. The three people developed a basic communication ground. An old voice sounded, "You guys go to the briefing room, we have little time." 

The three people nodded, and they went to the briefing room, along with the old man. The old man was Tiberius. Inside the room, a projector was displaying the plan and intel they would need when they reach the enemy territory. 

After fifteen minutes, Yang Dao and the others came out of the room with solemn expressions. The intel was quite vague. The boy sighed and said, "Looks like the other party was a step ahead of our alleys."

Carole nodded and said, "There are two reasons this could have happened." her tone was suspicious. 

Tony spoke up, "A double or a rat?" his meaning was either the agents had turned into double agents or they were ratted out by someone. Both the situations made it hard for them to work with ground support. 

Suddenly Yang Dao said, "We can do it." the other two nodded. Carole said, "Captain Dao, shall we depart?" 

The Dao Child said, "Yes, let's go."
