Chapter 162 - Calm Before The Storm.
The agreement was signed, and the people dispersed afterward. The news of Feng Yun betting on her company for the sake of her brother caused a sensation none of the people ever expected. Yang Dao took Feng Yun back to the Dao courtyard.
The drive was relaxing. The two people had no worries in their minds. Yang Dao still asked when they were getting close to the house, "Sister Yun, what will you do if I lost?" his voice was calm and it was just something he asked on a whim.
The girl replied, "Give away the company, rest for a month, then start again. I will take back my company in six months." She chuckled for a moment then with a firm gaze she said, "I trust you. You are the Dao, when has Dao ever lost?"
Just when Yang Dao was about to reply she said, "I know, it is possible to lose but those who are confident and hardworking. The chances are low." this was her trust in him.
Yang Dao shook his head with a sigh. The phoenix would honor her words, but she did not say that she cannot take it back. You know that she had wealth other than her company. Her company was generating billions of profit. She gave it away, but it would still not be able to match the amount of money she had earned in the past.
The girl asked this time, "What will you do with that girl if you won?" her voice revealed a tint of playfulness.
Yang Dao knew that this was a trap, and he said, "I will free her. I have accumulated a lot as it is already." he jabbed back at Feng Yun. The girl was shocked, then she said, "To think the society and glamour will spoil such a good boy."
The two people continued to play around and they reached back home. The atmosphere was tense among the staff. Yang Dao spotted Lisa and using sign language he asked what was going on?
The girl told him that the servants all found out about the bet and were worried that the miss might be angry. Yang Dao was surprised at this. He did not expect this news to leak out so quickly. His cell phone rang and found that it was Icarus.
He picked up the call and placed it away from his ear, "DAO, WHAT DID YOU SIBLING DO?"
Yang Dao replied, "Can you shut up? We already know what we are doing. I have sent you some passes for the race event tomorrow. You are invited with your family. Also, I am going to sleep. Good night." that the call was disconnected.
The Dao Child switched off his mobile. he used the landline in the mansion to call Kiya, pacified her, and told her that a car will pick them up tomorrow. The people did not know that Yang Dao was racing himself. This was kept a secret. The news channels were not told about this.
They only knew about the parties involved in the betting, which were a veteran racer and Feng Yun. The name of the racer for Feng Yun was not unveiled. Yang Dao at this moment walked out into the garden and sat down on the floor of the pavilion there. He was immersed in cultivation to be at his peak tomorrow.
The race will be a long one. They had to do 78 laps of the track, a total distance - 206.5 km.
...
While the Dao Courtyard was calm. Mika had a pale complexion after she heard who were the two people. She did not expect that boy to be a rich scion. Also to say that the richest in the entire world won't be wrong.
She looked at her grandfather and asked, "Did we do something wrong?"
The old man was bitter, but he could not have his granddaughter breaking down like this. He said, "No. You follow your own beliefs also they were the ones to propose the condition. You can return to the company. Also, you will only get the company in case he did not apologize. Do not forget that the company is just collateral. Calm your mind and focus on the race. The rest, we will deal with it as it comes."
His dignified voice highlighted the points needed to calm down the girl. She took a few deep breaths and her complexion improved. She nodded and sat down on the ground to meditate. She was not an Elementalist, but she used this method to focus herself.
Soon she calmed down and unknowingly even fell asleep. The old man picked her up and tucked her in. he sighed, thinking about tomorrow. Looking at the girl in front of him, he shook these thoughts out of his mind.
Closing the door, he walked back to his own room. His brain was flooded with the scenes that happened tonight. God knows what he was trying to figure out.
...
The night passed away in a blink and the sun rose to set the horizon on fire. Yang Dao had spent the whole night refining the elemental source energy inside his body. The boy had found that the source energy gets better and better in quality if it is run through the body in cycles.
He opened his eyes and mumbled, "Looks like the passive effect of the source energy is to make the response and senses faster and more active."
He heard a soft voice behind him, "Half correct."
The boy turned around and saw Feng Yun standing there with a smile on her face. she walked over to him and sat down on the floor with him. She said, "Different elements have different nature when you master those elements your source energy will enhance and you will learn different such passive skills."
Yang Dao nodded in understanding. He said, "The weather is nice today."
Feng Yun nodded and said, "Well I watched the weather forecast, they said it could rain."
Yang Dao nodded and said, "Let us go, eat before we go. I call dibs on meat dumplings and soy sauce." with that said, he ran inside the house and Feng Yun chuckled. She shook her head, "Of all the things, he uses the enhanced sense to smell food."
After breakfast the two people left the house, heading to the race track.
