It wasn't long before he was back in the sa large hall of the main mansion and the sight he saw inside made him clutch his hand slightly.
Adira was sitting beside her mother crying on her lap, while her mother was patting and consoling her.
Xeander cursed in his mind " what do you think this is so drama and how old are you to cat like this… and your mother… How did I end up acquainted with this clan of weird people? "
He was jolted out of his thoughts by the sudden killing intent locked on him through the cold gaze of the Lady Jainver.
Then he heard her emotionless cold voice.
" you have one minutes to explain.."
Xeander could only continue to curse in his heart " the young bully is not enough that she had brought the big bully into this matter…. Hmph.."
After giving out a deep sigh , he waved his hand to utilize a special technique that sealed the surrounding that no one can eavesdrop on the conversation.
Both the ladies showed a little surprised look, but didn't mind what he did much.
Then he took out sothing from his space ring that looked like a scroll and lifted it up for the family head to see.
The instant both the ladies saw the scroll they were stunned.
Of course it was the invitation for the war challenge and then with a composed tone Xeander spoke " the young dragon company under Major Dror will be participating in the Empires war challenge and I am here to request aid from the Jainver family.."
There was utter silence in the whole hall. Adira was shocked and had mixed expressions on her face, she was angry, sad and doubtful at the sa ti.
Lady Jainver was much more calm and composed even though she was a little surprised at what Xeander said, she instantly cald down and had a pondering expression while she scrutinized Xeander again with a slight frown.
To attempt the war challenge it was important that there were beast tars in the attempting team, as modern communication and equipnt were prohibited inside the War challenge.
The participants could only utilize the old thods to complete the challenge and in old tis different kinds of beasts were used to send ssages as well as scout the surroundings.
In the entire rebel forces, the jainver were the best beast tars and sent people from their clan for every war challenge that the rebel forces participated.
In fact even in the past when the kingdom was still in it's flourishing tis, It was the Jainver clan that sent beast tars for the war challenge along with the kingdom's force.
This was related to an old promise that the then Jainver family head made to the king at that ti, to send their talented young beast master for every war challenge that the kingdom attempted.
This was like a tradition and honor for the Jainver clan.
Until the alliance forces started massacring the soldiers sent by the rebel forces without any rcy every ti the rebel forces attempted the challenge.
The Jainver clan had lost too many young and talented beast tars in the last few decades.
Lady jainver slightly closed her eyes in thought, while it was Adira that stood up and pointed her finger towards Xeander and asked with a slight tremble.
" Why, why do you wish to return to that hell again …. why… No one would bla you, no one… you have already given too much, why should you go back… what about , what about your family and friends, all those who love you…. None of them will want you to go back.."
Xeander looked at Adira with a calm face without the slightest bit of change in his expression.
" this is my decision and I am doing this for myself, no other reason…"
Then he slowly muttered under his breath " and for my brothers and sisters who fought and died, on that day.."
Adira shuddered slightly while clutching her fist tightly, but before she could question Xeander further, he changed his gaze towards lady Jainver.
" So will the clan of Jainver send their n on this war challenge…. ?"
His gaze was locked on Lady Jainver who was pondering with closed eyes.
Then the head of the Jainver family slowly opened her eyes, her eyes looked a little tired but with a resolute look she asked.
" Of course, How many n do you need… ?"
Xeander slowly replied " Three.. we already have two beast tars in our team "
This ti lady Jainver was really surprised along with Adira, Usually they will send 7 or 8 of their best beast tars from the younger generation to participate.
Since it was a question of the whole clans honor and prestige, they will send their talented young ones even if it is to death
But this ti the person who attempted the challenge only required three people.
Even Though it was bitter Adya the clan head still heaved a small sigh of relief.
Xeander continued " This matter is of utter importance, so would like the Family head to keep this matter a secret and send the three n to earth base citing so other reason…"
Then with a pause he added " If there is any change in circumstances, there is a possibility of withdrawing from the challenge, so I suggest that this matter is kept in between the parties that are involved only …."
Lady Jainver had a keen look in her eyes as she tried to process the whole situation. She understood that this ti war challenge was not so simple and a picture of a bearded young man appeared in her mind and she thought.
"So it is that person, that people call the barbarian… She had said that the young guy is really interesting. If soone like Xeander joined his company willingly that ans he is not at all simple...maybe I should also get acquainted with him in the future.."
Then she nodded at Xeander accepting his request " The Jainver family will send their n.."
But before she completed what she wanted to say, Adira interrupted her
" Mother, I will lead the group that is going for the war challenge.."
Lady Jainver who was acting calm suddenly seed angered as she stared at her daughter with strict eyes.
" No…"
"But.."
Adira was completely interrupted by her mother.
" No need to say anything more, you should know I will never allow you to go ….. I don't want any argunt on this matter…"
Adira with a wronged expression, looked towards Xeander, who avoided her gaze without a second thought.
" You… both of you.."
She stamped her leg hard on the floor, before leaving the hall fuming.
The two people left heaved a sigh of relief.
While Lady Jainver secretly cursed in her mind " that dumbass of a war minister, could he have not inford that this guy was visiting with the invitation of the war challenge.. now I will have to deal with all the tantrum that she will create.. hah.. and this young dumb god, couldn't he have been more discreet.."
She casually ignored all her faults and stared dagger at Xeander, before saying with a snort
" If that is all, you should know the way out… hmph"
Xeander, who was feeling a little relieved, suddenly felt like he was wronged, but he could only bow and show his respect before retreating.
He saw the familiar view of the clan's n and pets scurrying away when he exited the main mansion, there was no other new developnt as the old servant led him outside the clan property before closing the gate.
But before he moved further he saw the familiar figure of the young lady sitting on the red tiger.
She showed an amiable smile and waved her hand towards the young man, but Xeander could clearly feel the anger and indignation behind that amiable smile.
Xeander could only heave a sigh and got close to her before asking.
" Hmph…. Adira , I am sorry.."
Adira showed a sad expression as she replied.
"Hah.. No need to apologize, it is not your fault, mother is always like that…"
Xeander could only sigh again as the lady continued looking to the distance.
" Do you rember the past, Xeander .. how we were always together…. How I always wanted to join the military and fight against the evil alliance governnt.."
Xeander recalled his past as he heard the first two sentence, but the following two sentence made him really doubtful and confused as he thought " When did you ever want to join the army… wait.. she is still planning to join the team…"
Xeander could only gesture with his hand to stop and spoke " Even if you join the company, your mother will never allow you to participate in the war challenge and she will find out about anything that you plan instantly, afterall Lady Raven is her best friend…"
Bang…
Xeander was sent flying with a punch.
Adira was fuming with anger as she glared at Xender with flaming eyes.
But unlike before he took the beating and stood up before walking past her.
While Adira had a saddened expression on her face and didn't continue to beat him up or stop him.
After taking two steps past her Xeander stopped and said in slow tone " will you believe in one more ti and wait for .."
Adira's hand shuddered slightly, but she nodded her head with eyes that were about to tear.
" But rember this Xeander, unlike the previous ti, If you don't co back, I will hunt you down no matter where you hide… even if it is in the depths of hell.."
