Many wonderful past memories passed through his mind when he was still standing at the entrance of this place and he could only take a deep breath.

The place that Xeander visited was called the House of Jainver, it belonged to a specific family with the surname Jainver.

The servant bowed towards Xeander and welcomed him in.

"Master is waiting for you in the main house, please follow me…. And please don't wander away from the paved path, the guarding beast won't differentiate between enemies and guests..

"

Xeander took a second glance at the path that led to the main house and noticed that it was paved with some special kind of stones, which kept the spirit beast away.

It wasn't long before Xeander noticed a humongous cheetah the size of a full grown bull with a black horn on its forehead and bloody pupils resting beside the path. It gave a casual glance towards Xeander and he started sweating.

He thought.

" this beast is probably in the 4th level and agility based one, it would be a lot difficult for me to deal with it… hmm..

"

But before he could sigh, he saw a second cheetah appear right beside it. The new one was bigger, sturdier and much more ferocious compared to the first one.

Xeander suddenly kept close to the servant as if not wanting to be left behind at any cost.

It took almost ten minutes for the servant to lead Xeander to the main house.

On the way Xeander has met with too many spirit beast's and members of the Jainver clan who were busy with their own works.

Jainver clan was a family of beast tamers and utilized the spirit beast to fight alongside them.

They were also one of the strong families that supported the king in the old times and joined the rebel forces after the betrayal of the seven families.

Xeander was able to get a glance of the young children of the Jainver family playing around with the offspring's of the high level spirit beast, some of them even waved at this unknown uncle.

Xeander had heard that from a young age the children of the Jainver family were trained to form an amicable relation with the spirit beast's and Xeander confirmed it now with his own eyes.

At the same time the memories of a young lady with a red winged tiger pet appeared in his mind.

But before he could reminisce too much into those memories he was in front of the biggest mansion inside the compound, he didn't hesitate to follow the servant inside.

As he entered the big main hall of the mansion, he could feel a slight killing intent and coldness that was premating the hall after he entered.

The first thing he noticed was the seat of honour which was situated on an elevated platform and the beautiful middle aged woman who was sitting on it.

She had golden brown eyes very similar to that of a fierce tiger and long golden hair, the aura that the woman emitted easily suppressed Xeander completely and made him slightly shiver.

This was the current head of the Jainver family Aadya Jainver.

A normal sized black panther was sleeping beside her feet, like an ordinary cat, but the dread that Xeander felt when he casually observed this ordinary looking black panther was much higher than any spirit beast that he had faced until now.

Xeander humbly bowed towards this woman by clasping his hand together and bending his head slightly.

"Lady Jainver..

"

The lady looked at the young man before her with cold eye's and casually waved at the young man before her and spoke with a cold snort.

" If it wasn't for your grandfather and your master , I would have broken both your legs a long time ago, after what you have done to my daughter.. But I should say that you are really courageous to come here after all this time…

"

Before the head of the Jainver family could complete what she was going to say, one of the side doors was knocked open with a bang.

Boom…

A fierce young lady entered the room riding on a fierce red tiger beast with wings.

The pretty young lady also had golden long hair like the head of the Jainver clan and her facial features were also very similar to the Lady Jainver, the only difference was her eyes which were hazel mixed with light green.

The Young lady yelled out as soon as she entered the hall.

" Bite him Chara…

"

The red tiger called Chara didn't waste any time and pounced at Xeander and took him down.

Then to everyone's surprise instead of biting him it started licking the young man's face.

Xeander patted the tiger with love, but before he could speak or do anything further he heard another yell.

" Chara you betrayer...

"

He could feel the danger, but the punch was already on his face and sent him flying.

Xeander instinctively used his air elemental manipulation to balance himself and land steadily with a somersault.

The hall became completely silent all of a sudden, even the sleeping panther slightly opened its eyes to gauge Xeander once, before going back to it's sleep.

Every one inside the hall had a gobsmacked expression, even the servant who was waiting in the hall had dropped his jaw.

The head of the family had a solemn expression when she looked at the young man again.

Only Chara the red tiger didn't mind anything and went besides Xeander as if to console his friend and licked his bruised cheek.

The young lady who had a very similar appearance to the head of the family pointed her finger at Xeander but failed to speak in shock.

"you.. you.. how long, how long has it been since you recovered..

"

Xeander scratched his head and hesitated on how to answer the young lady's question, but he knew he was in trouble no matter what he answered.

But before he could come up with a solution he heard the knuckle cracking sound from beside him.

The young lady was besides him and whispered in a cold tone

" are you trying to come up with some new scheme, little Xeander…

"

" wait…

"

Bang ….

Xeander was sent flying again before he could complete what he was trying to say.

Xeander could only take the beating while trying to avoid any major damage without any retaliation, because the woman who was beating him up was once his girlfriend, from whom he had run away a long time ago, after being defeated by the alliance forces in the war challenge.

"Adira, that is enough..

"

In the end the mature beauty, Lady Jainver had to intervene to stop the beating, Xeanders neat and tidy dress became dirty and torn, his hair was disheveled and his face was bruised all over with one of the eyes having a black circle around it.

He looked exactly like a young master who had suddenly become a beggar.

The young lady Adira was still staring dagger at the young man as if her anger had not yet been completely vented.

" Thank you, Lady Jainver…

"

But as he paused and pondered about what he was going to say, while taking a side way glance at the lioness who had beaten him up black and blue.

Then he sent a spiritual message to Lady Jainver.

" Hmm.. Lady Jainver, can we have a private conversation, you know I have insisted to the minister of war that he should ask for a private audience with you for me, I guess he forgot to mention it…

"

The Lady sent a spiritual message back with a cold snort

" hmph.. I don't know why people call you young war god, calling you some dumb god will be fitting you…. You asked for a private audience yet you came into the clan so openly without even disguising your identity, Everyone in the clan knows exactly who you are and most of them are very loyal to my daughter.. especially those small ones they are her spy's all round this place…. Do you think we can have a private conversation now…

"

She gave another snort after sending the spiritual message.

After hearing what the family head said Xeander remembered the cute children who were playing around with the offspring of the spirit beasts and even waved at him, now that he thought about it some of the young ones who waved at him had a smirk on their lips.

The young lady Adira exuded a faint killing intent as she scrutinized Xeander as if she had already discovered what he was doing and slightly cracked her knuckles again.

Xeander could only show an embarrassed smile.

But before he could say anything more the young lady spoke up

" Mother I wish to have a private talk with my boyfriend , I hope you don't mind..

"

Then she dragged Xeander away without turning back, Xeander couldn't even struggle .

But when he dragged out suddenly he saw too many figures scurrying away from around the main hall. It included grown ups , children and even pets.

Xeander had only one thought in his mind

" I am a damn idiot… This damn clan, not just the children ,each and everyone of them had recognized me and pretended not to … they informed her and were loitering around the main hall to evase drop and enjoy the drama unfolding inside...

"
