Soon the young lady led Xeander out of the mansion and as they got out, she pushed Xeander onto Chara the red tiger before she too got on the big tiger.

Chara was easily the size of two big bulls with an height of more than one and half meter. Three or four people could easily ride on this humongous tiger.

It wasn't long before they got out of the clan compound and sped away to a different area.

The entire air base was constructed by cutting into the cliff of a very large canyon and this whole area of canyon which extended to who knows where was covered in a particular smog all year around.

Hiding the cliff construction from up above the sky, The fog didn't enter the area of base which was shielded by formation.

This canyon was considered one of the most dangerous places of the planet Ayangdad, as all kinds of powerful beasts lived in the canyon and not even the alliance army dared to venture in with full force.

The smog made it too tricky for someone to traverse through the canyon, only someone with deep knowledge of the geography along with the flora and fauna could travel through these smogs to reach the Air base safely. Of Course the rebels had their own safe routes to reach their base.

The best pilots of the rebel base were trained to fly in these smogs, which were a death trap for the aircraft's and space ships.

Taking around twenty minutes and passing through some tunnels, Chara brought its two riders to a specific crack that led to the cliff opening.

Both of them got down, Xeander had a longing look on his face as he was trying to recollect some old memories, but he didn't speak anything but followed the woman who was leading the way.

Of course Chara with it's humongous body couldn't fit into the crack and waited outside.

As he passed through the crack he noticed the walls that have been carved out to widen the path, and the path itself was not that much dusty or dilapidated as he imagined.

Xeander sighed as he slowly muttered.

"You have been coming here often haven't you…

"

The only replay that he got was a cold snort.

Xeander closed his eyes lightly as he reminisced an old memory of a young girl leading a young boy through this crack to show him something wonderful.

It wasn't long before they were out of the crack and the view in front of them was a beautiful scenery, of the cliffs and smog that covered them extending as far as the eyes could see.

The place they were standing on was only a small rock protrusion on the cliff which can accommodate at best 5 or 6 people.

Adira sat down with her legs hanging down the rock protrusion, Xeander took a long breath after watching the beautiful view before his eyes and sat down beside the lady.

"You know I was going to come to you to share the news of my recovery, but for some reason I felt a little ashamed of myself even though I had recovered myself… I felt like I have not regained my complete dignity yet, as if there is a lot that I owe to many people.

I wished to appear before you again as a dignified man, not as someone who was only healed in the body….

"

The lady didn't turn to look at him but just stared at the view in front of them in solemn silence as if she didn't hear what the man beside her said.

But after a short silence she replies slowly.

" I know..

"

Xeander could only sigh and look forward like the lady.

After some more time the lady spoke

" why did you come to the clan… ?

"

Xeander had a struggling look on his face, but he replied after sighing.

" This is an official business between my higher up and the matriarch of the Jainver family..

"

But he was cut off by an intense killing intent and swallowed the rest of the sentence that he was going to spout out.

Then he heard the ladies voice that laced with killing intent

" Do you think that I can't figure out when you are trying to twist your words because you have disappeared for years. Or do you think I will hesitate to throw you off this cliff if I see you using that glib tongue of yours too much..

"

Xeander had a cold sweat on his back and he could suddenly feel the emptiness underneath his feet.

He could only curse in his mind

" why does my manipulation and diversion skill always fail before her…

"

The Lady continued after turning her face and looking at Xeander with her stern eyes.

" You can either tell me the truth about why you wanted to secretly meet with my mother or you can slowly learn how to fly.. choose..

"

Xeander didn't know how to deal with this headstrong girl , he could only shake his head in defeat before saying.

" I have joined one of the young dragon companies, we are planning on doing something and we need experienced beast tamers for our plan..

"

Adira had a surprised look on her face as she muttered.

" You joined a young dragon company, but I have heard about all the young dragon majors, none of them fits your description…. Wait, you joined , you are a soldier inside one… how can it be.. your rank is too high to perform as a subordinate of someone in the Major rank..

"

The more she muttered the more shocked she became. Xeander could only sigh and interrupt her from imagining too much.

" I am acting as the Deputy Major of the Young Dragon company under Major Dror..

"

Adira pondered a little before exclaiming

" That barbarian..

"

Xeander could only sigh again and retort, In calm tone.

" Don't underestimate him , he is nothing but a barbarian ..

"

Listening to the respect in Xeander's tone, the lady was surprised again and her eyes had more curiosity in them now as she thought

" I have not been interested in the gossip related to the young dragon's , but I remember Matilda mentioned that he was a wild and charming man.

She said that he was able to directly confront the strongest young master of the Belindo family and even almost defeated him with ease… But I can't just take her word for it, she has her own way of exaggerating things. I need to look into this man known as Dror myself… Xeander won't have great respect for him if he was just another brute with strength and charm

"

After pondering a little she came back to herself and spoke with a questioning look.

" What is this mission that you are going for….

"

Xeander had a solemn look as he replied

" it's classified..

"

Adira had a shocked expression, then her expression turned a little cold and angry .

But before she could retort him again, Xeander spoke again while staring straight into her eyes without budging

" I won't be divulging any more information…

"

Adira took a deep breath

" you said you came to recruit beast tamer right, then I would be joining your mission as a beast tamer, now you can explain right….

"

Xeander didn't let her finish

" No, you won't be joining the team..

"

Adira glared at her former boyfriend with ire in her eyes, there was an awkward silence but none of them seemed to be ready to take a step back.

It was Adira who broke the silence with a cold snort

" No beast master from the Jainver family will accompany you if I am also not included..

"

Xeander was struggling inside his mind

" No, I will never take you to that accursed battlefield of War challenge, I will never let this happen at any cost..

"

Then he replied sternly again

" that is not your decision to make, you are not yet the head of the Jainver family..

"

Adira stood up hastily pointing her finger at Xender

" you , you dare..

"

sparks were flying in between the locked stares of two people.

Then she turned around and walked towards the crack while saying

" Let's see about that, You can find your own ride back..

"

Xeander, who was a little agitated about confronting his lover like this, was suddenly taken aback by what she said.

" Wait .. you want me to walk back..

"

But there was no replay.

Adira, who was already riding Chara back to her home, had a smirk on her face while muttering.

" hmph.. Let me see how you will convince mother….

"

….

It took more time for Xeander to return to the Jainver family compound even while utilizing his own hover vehicle.

But he was surprised to see that the servant was already waiting outside the gate with an angry expression.

Xeander was surprised to see this old servant glaring angrily at him and thought

" hmm… why are you glaring at me like that old man, I didn't steal your kidney or something..

"

The servant led the way to the mansion without speaking anything, Xeander knew something was wrong as he followed the old servant, everyone in the family including the children were glaring at him with anger.

Some of the children were even cracking knuckles staring at him. He knew his girlfriend had done something.
