Chapter 119: Prey & Hunter.

As the boy gazed into Carole's eyes, He felt as if she could see through his mind. He went in a daze but suddenly woke up. For a moment, he sensed as if Feng Yun patted his back gently. 

Carole who always had a dead gaze suddenly had sparkles in her eyes. It was as if she came alive. The two people shook hands gently. Yang Dao did not drag onto the topic and said, "Let's go."

The girl nodded and followed him with a curious gaze while the boy ahead was occupied by the thoughts of what just happened. He has never experienced anything like that. This was not fitting in with the line of his understanding. What made him baffled was the fact that he sensed Feng Yun patting his back, as if she was beside him.

The two reached the car, Yang Dao took out the keys and opened the door. Carole was surprised to see such a beautiful and fluidic looking car. She got in the car after Yang Dao. The boy slowly drove out of the parking and parked behind the college vehicle. He leaned his head out of the window and said, "Senior Copper, we can go now."

Shelby Copper stuck out his head and was shocked to see that Yang Dao's car. He took a deep breath and with a nod, he got back inside. After a few seconds, the college vehicle started to move. Yang Dao followed it with a calm pace. 

He did not engage in talks with the girl inside his car. Due to the last incident, he raised his level of vigilance against this girl. Suddenly Carole asked, "Student Dao, are you a special Army recruit this year?"

Yang Dao nodded in silence. Carole said, "I am the same. What division are you assigned to join?"

The boy asked, "What about yours?" it could have been seen rude to answer a question with a question, but the girl did not mind. She revealed a tinge of surprise in her eyes. Then with a chuckle, she said, "Army intelligence."

Yang Dao nodded and said, "Special Forces." during his training Laohu Bai had told him that the different departments use different powers among the people to the limits. Army intelligence was a division that trained people to be spies and investigators. These spies were masters in disguise and the investigators were able to tap into the target's mind. 

The boy suddenly spoke, "So you are the investigator of Army Intelligence?"

Carole nodded, she said, "I did not expect you to know this. Well, yes, I realized my skills to tap into a human mind a few years ago, and I apologize it is still not very well controlled. I apologize." 

Yang Dao did not reply, he did not believe her. Who was she kidding, she was recruited three years ago. The training would have helped her control it. He was not naive, kept quiet, and focused on driving the car. The venue for the debate competition was located in the central region. Yang Dao was wearing a Sea-Blue shirt paired with black pants and leather shoes, on his wrist a black leather strapped watch rested. 

Coincidently, Carole was also wearing a one-piece dress, the dress was Sea-Blue colored. The helm reached her knees. She wore a pair of black bellies, with a black wristwatch matching Yang Dao's attire completely. The boy had noticed this fact but he did not say anything. Carole was a beautiful girl, even girls would compliment her for her looks. Yet Yang Dao did not say a word. 

This indifference of his, paired with the fact that she could not see through his mind, piqued her curiosity. She never expected to meet someone like him today when she left her dormitory room. She wanted to know more about Yang Dao. This curiosity made her take the initiative. 

"Student Dao, what major are you from?" she asked calmly. 

Yang Dao replied, "Computer Operations and Applied Physics." his tone was flat. He answered for the sake of courtesy. 

Carole spoke with a surprised expression, "Oh, double majors. Indeed, you topped the exams this year. I am also a Physics major. I am writing my final project thesis on Electromagnets." 

Yang Dao nodded and said, "I have done my semester project two weeks ago for Computer Operations. As for physics, I have not started yet."

The girl asked, "Have any idea, what you will write for your physics project?"

Yang Dao just nodded without revealing any hints. The mood turned silent. Carole asked, "Student Dao do you mind if I play some music on your car's stereo?"

"Yes, I mind." his words almost made Carole choke. She did not expect this guy to reject her. She did not give, now it was not curiosity but irritation. Does he not understand how to act like a gentleman?

She asked maintaining the pretense, "Do you not like Music?"

Yang Dao replied, "I like music but I do not have the mood to listen to anything right now."

The girl was at a loss for words, but before she could come up with a counter. The car turned and came to a stop. She did not know when they reached the venue. Yang Dao said, "You can get down now. I need to park it."

Carole got out of the car in a daze. Yang Dao parked the car and regrouped with the people in his team. The group then headed to the entrance. Suddenly Yang Dao stopped and turned his head to look in a certain direction. He spotted some acquaintance of his. He said, "Senior Copper. Is it alright if I greet someone before we enter?"

Shelby Copper nodded and said, "Okay, we have half an hour before the competition starts. I will take care of the final reporting procedure. Just make sure you come to hall 1 five minutes before the start."

Yang Dao nodded and said, "I will come sooner." with that said he turned and walked to the side where he saw two people. The group did not mind and walked ahead. Carole however kept her gaze locked to his back. 

She saw Yang Dao meeting with two beautiful women. Then she left with the group, questioning her charm in her mind. 

...

Yang Dao walked up to the two women and saluted them. These two women were none other than, Kaya and Lin. The two smiled at him while Kaya took the lead, "Captain Yang Dao, you are looking very crisp and sharp today."

Yang Dao smiled and said, "Madam, you are very beautiful yourself. May I ask the two seniors, why did you come here?"

Lin replied in a soft voice, "General Bai asked us to protect you in secret. So we just wanted to let you know that we are around you. For the time being until a counteraction is taken."

Yang Dao nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I have a question. Is there a way to avoid an Army Intelligence recruit's skills?"

Kaya raised her eyebrow, "Somebody from the intelligence division revealed the fact to you?"

The boy nodded, the two ladies exchanged a glance and spoke, "What is her name?"

Yang Dao replied, "Carole Tepes."

Lin replied, "Avoid being in touch with her. The Tepes family is not a good peer. They all are either Army Intelligence or death dealers. Be careful around this girl."

Yang Dao nodded. The three people exchanged small talk before the boy left to join his team. Kaya spoke as she watched the boy walk away. She said, "Lin, call the general. Seems like these few bats have come out of the caves."

Lin nodded, took out her phone, and spoke after the call connected, "General, we have a situation."

...

Sat in her office, Laohu Bai listened to what Lin said, and then she said, "I will let Stefan Tepes know. You guys take care of yourself." with that she disconnected the call. She leaned back in her chair and with a sigh, she picked up her phone and failed a number. 

The phone connected after a few rings, an old voice sounded from the other side, "Tepes Household."

Laohu Bai spoke in a cold voice, "Call over Stefan Tepes, tell him, General Bai is calling." the other party replied with a, "Please hold."

After a couple of minutes, a deep voice sounded, "General Bai, how come you are calling me?" his tone was respectful. 

Laohu Bai spoke, "Stefan Tepes, I have a few questions to ask you. Let us start with this one, Who-is-Carole-Tepes?" she said every word in a slow and chilling voice. 

The other side replied after a deep breath, "My daughter."

Laohu Bai asked, "Why is she in Jewel Nation?"

Stefan Tepes replied, "She wanted to study like normal people."

Laohu Bai nodded, "Very well, I will not act against her this one time. I hope you call her and tell her that if she had any ideas about Feng Yang Dao, I will break her and your whole family's fangs. Do-you-understand?"

Stefan Tepes replied stiffly, "Yes, General Bai." Laohu Bai disconnected the call. 

...

Freedom nation, Tepes Mansion. 

A blonde man, with a pale face, held the phone dumbly in his hand. Beside him, a Dark Haired woman asked, "Stefan, why are you scared of this General Bai?"

Stefan Tepes woke up from his daze and said, "She is a monster. Five years ago our blood guard cornered her in the desert. They vanished after an hour. Now you can imagine why am I scared."

He was definitely scared to the depth of his soul, Laohu Bai made him, the king of vampires, feel scared. As if a prey afraid of a hunter.
