The next morning
6 AM
The couple were discussing the conversation Avian had with Rafael.
"What did you say to him ?" asked Anaya.
"I asked if he could send Kian to the provincial capital but Rafa offered to take him directly to Nara province."replied Avian.
He didn't wanted to lie to his woman as they both deeply loved one another.
"And what will be the cost of travel." again asked Anaya.
"Actually that is something I wanted your opinion on."said Avian.
Anaya looked interestingly towards her husband and nodded.
"Rafa will be going to the Imperial Capital to let my father know about us as he was only sent to locate us and bring us back, he knew we were here but never bothered us unless we contacted him and I went to him yesterday and only then he wanted to go to the capital to tell our whereabouts and since he was going that way he offered his help. What do you think?"
Anaya said nothing and just nodded and after some pause she again said" If they even harm a single hair of my child they will directly face the wrath of Anaya Sumak."
"Yeah yeah I know my dear what you are capable of but please trust me on this I know Rafa from a very young age and I trust him with my life."said Avian slowly pulling Anaya into his embrace.
Anaya said" It's not that I don't trust Rafael but because of our position in the empire as well as the capital I fear if something will happen to him."
"Who has the guts to even harm a single hair of the son of Avian Alvarez and Anaya Sumak?"said Avian mockingly but he was dead serious.
7:30 AM
After some time the children woke up and found that like everyday their father had gone to work and mother was preparing the breakfast for the kids. Kian need not go school today because anyway he would leave by tommorow and to be honest he didn't have any good friends in the school because as he was astoundingly superior in everything the kids could take part in he was well hated in the school by most of the kids just because they were jealous and those who didn't hated him didn't bother with him due to his background. They saw him beneath them.
"Maa why did Dad go to school today?"asked Avian.
"Ohh you two got up already." replied their mother cheerfully
After some moments she said" Your father went to school because he wanted to ask for a holiday tommorow again, so that he can stay and spend some time with you before bidding you a goodbye."
Kian just nodded and started to play with his sister Kaia.
At School Vice Principal Office:
"No, you won't get any more leaves, only in this month you have taken 4 leaves. Why do even people like you wants so many leaves? Just go away. Dismissed. Just go and sweep the floor. There is a bad odour coming out of you." a bald man exaggeratedly waved his hand before his nose to counter the non existent odour. Yes Avian was a janitor but he was always very good in self hygeine.
But Avian just smiled wryly because he was a person who had an enormous amount of self control and he didn't want to cause any problems. So he patiently asked" Sir please grant me this time and for 1 year I will not ask for any leave as tomorrow is a very special day for me. And even in my past I haven't taken any leave for so many years. I wouldn't have taken the leave but it is a very important and special day in my life."
The bald man looked directly at the man with crazed look and rage blasted out "Who do you think of yourself? Do you think just because you know the principal you can do anything you want. I warn you don't push your limits around me."
Avian said nothing and was about to leave thinking he would just directly resign from his job and find another one.
The man paused for a second and again smiled slyly and said" I can give you the grant tomorrow but you need to send your wife to me for one night."
He knew what he was asking, if not for this janitor had some good relationship with the principal he would have made the life of Kian difficult with his connections and would have exchanged with the treatment of Kian's school life with that of his mother's body. He had been eyeing her for quite a long time and even tried to approach but somehow she never responded to his advances frustrated he proposed once and was put to place by the principal and he thought that the janitor asked for his help. But little did he know that Avian knew of no such incidents otherwise the man would have not left to live another day.
Avian suddenly narrowed his eyes because no one had talked with him like this in his entire life. If it were any other time in Avian's life the bald man would have lost his head the moment he had uttered Anaya's name but today he just clenched his fists and started laughing maniacally. He wanted to break every bone of this man and leave this school for good. So he directly got into action. Avian moved and after that there were only sounds of
*Boom*Baam*Bang*Bang*Boom*
*Slam*Crack*Crack *Crack*Bang*Bam*Bam*Whaaam*Thud*
All this action seems long but it only took 1 second for Avian to break all the bones of the man.
A group had gathered outside the VP Office and were being speculative of the event going on.
One asked" What is going on?"
Another said " I think Vice Principal is punishing someone."
And there were all sorts of speculation going on but no one had thought that a janitor would be able to beat the shit out of a Vice Principal of a well respected school in the Province. This was generally because anyone who had any kind of power or status in the society had some level of cultivation and he was a Body Metamorphosis Rank 3 cultivator. He shouldn't have lost so badly.
At this moment a deep voice sounded
"What is going on here?"
Everybody made a way for this person as this was the principal of the school Alex Krugalis a strong cultivator at Body Metamorphosis 5th Rank. He stepped inside the office to only see that there was nothing wrong other than a man lying bloodied and another man leisurely sitting on the Vice Principal's Chair.
Seeing the scene the Principal was visibly shocked because only few in the whole of province could defeat the Vice Principal but if he were asked to beat him into these position he would be unable to pull off that kind of might. One might think that the Body Metamorphosis is the first major realm so the people on this realm would be very weak but that was far from the truth because they were very strong as they had their skins more tough than of a crocodile, strength comparable to an elephant and their balance surpassing that of monkey. They had all these accomplishments and after that they ascend to Body Metamorphosis 5th Rank. And those above these ranks were incomparable to anything this earth has ever seen.
The principal putting up a front asked Avian
"What is going on?"
Avian smiled and pointed towards the camera inside the VP's Office as he had already made the mind to leave the school and maybe do some business or go away to some other place. So he didn't bother to say anything. Even though the principal and him had a good relationship he was in no obligation to explain himself to a mere principal. If he didn't want to explain something even the emperor might have to back off and can't make him speak so what's a principal of some small backward provincial school.
The principal asked someone to retrieve the video and went through all of the fiasco and sighed slowly. It was not something that he didn't knew but he somehow wanted to maintain a safe relationship with the VP because of the support he needs for the funding of school from the imperial funds. So for that he needs to have some equivocal opinions on the matters of funds to get the maximum funds from the Imperial Funds Reserve. So he kind of always looked away from the small ruckus he creates but today he had bitten more than he can ever chew and got the karma.
The principal came towards Avian and bowed. All the people were shocked to see that but he always had a knack that Avian was no simple guy and anyways he was from a humble background himself and infact the fault was of school's to take the responsibility.
Avian said directly "Alex this is the last and first warning or threat or some kind of guiding wisdom I will impart on to you so listen close, Never try to push your luck everywhere because you never know when you meet an unbreakable wall. And I hope you take care of this filth." He said looking towards the VP and that sealed his fate.
Avian started to walk and after some distance he stopped turned around and said with a smile" Oh I forgot to tell from today onwards I won't be coming so you find a new janitor." And with that he took long strides and left.
Every body was drenched with sweat as Avian was unaware how much of aura and pressure he had created around these people. They were choking in his presence.
Rented Apartment
7 PM
Kian and Kaia were watching cartoons, Anaya setting dinner as they had a huge range of food because tommorow Kian would depart. There was an array of different meats, veggies, noodles, rice and Kian's favourite Rice Pudding.
Avian just came out of the bathroom and called out the kids for dinner. He had already discussed the about him leaving the job but did not said a word about the fiasco as he didn't wanted the school to razed down to ground.
Next Day
The family of four headed towards the high end district which had independent manor. The grandeur of these buildings were nothing sort of fantasy but it did not fazed the slightest to the couple yet the 2 siblings were looking outside the window as they were seated on one of the most expensive automobile they could buy in these parts of the empire and pointing with amazement because it was the first time they had seen something so big and grand. Rafael had sent the vehicle to fetch them early in the morning as he wanted to discuss something with the couple.
The vehicle pulled over and went inside a manor and landed nicely in the parking area oh and yes they were flying vehicle. Rafael opened the door for the couple and the siblings and all of them got out. Rafael was about bow but Avian held firmly to him and said him this words mentally," My son should not know my identity till he reaches Arcane Spirit Realm."
Rafael response was" As you wish Your Highness."
Anaya also understood the situation and said nothing. Kian and Kaia were busy looking around and didn't find out anything. Since Kaia was too small to find out anything but Kian would be very suspicious because of the temperament he exhibited.
Rafael led the family towards his manor and offered them seats and casually started talking.
Kian's POV:
"Oh my God such a big house. I never even thought that such a big house could exist." He looked at Rafael and again around the house and thought" Such a big house is all reserved to this old bones such waste of space." It would be dishonest to say that Kian wasn't jealous of the house as he had never even thought even in his dream that such a big house exist and it just was for an old man."
He thought that all his neighbours could reside here and even then there would be a lot of space to play around.
He started to casually stroll taking in the grandeur and beauty of the house.
