My Soul card is a Reaper-Chapter 427 Azzy Meets Mia

A couple of hours later, Aclein City's entire police force was in the training center, making sure of the security arrangements.

Eventually, a helicopter landed on open ground and Mia got down alone before walking toward the lone building. Her dad and daughter didn't appear to be accompanying her.

Azzy patiently waited for her at the chairman's office.

"Azrael…" She called out his name in a rather loud tone as soon as she entered the office but stopped right there at the door, stunned by his teenage appearance. A while ago, when she talked to her husband on the way, he told her that she will be shocked.

Mia didn't know back then. But, now, she realized what he meant. "You didn't age up a bit." She commented.

Upon seeing his teammate, who is all grown up into an adult woman, Azzy couldn't help but chuckle, "Hello, Mia."

He was happy to see his friend but it appears that it wasn't the same for Mia. Atleast, it was what Azzy thought at first as she suddenly pulled a futuristic-looking gun out of thin air and pointed at him, "I apologize if you are the real deal but prove your identity, Azrael."

"Eh?" "Huh?"

Calder and Azzy were taken aback by her actions.

Calder tried to defend Azzy, "Honey, there's no reason for someone to disguise as Azrael. It is him."

"But, we don't have any memories of him, Dear," replied Mia in a serious tone. She further said, "For the sake of Claire, it is important for me to know his identity."

Upon hearing her name, Azzy immediately asked her, "Do you know the whereabouts of Claire? Did something happen to her?"

"First, prove yourself." Mia was stern in her reply.

Azzy was familiar with her cold personality. Hence, he didn't take it to his heart and said, "Well, since you don't have any memories of me, then, I guess I will tell you a few things I know about you."

"Go on…" Mia didn't flinch a bit and continued to point the gun at Azzy. As the President of a nation who faced enough assassination attempts, she never let her guard down. If it wasn't for her husband, she wouldn't have even entered the office alone.

Azzy didn't know why she was being so wary but it isn't his problem. Claire is important to him and if he had to prove himself to know her whereabouts, then, so be it.

He then started with their first meet, "I saw you for the first time during the last week of combat training. Your team had a sparring session with Snivy and her team when she blasted your teammate too high in the air and you revealed your Oak Tree's ability to extend its size and catch her."

Mia went on a trip down memory lane. As the memory wasn't that significant, she couldn't remember it properly. However, she didn't voice it out and gestured for him to continue.

Realizing that it wasn't enough for her to trust him, Azzy then spoke of a couple of things that only his teammates were aware of, "I was the one who advised you to pick up archery. Before the finals of the Champions League, your father took our team to Animus, which is an underground secret headquarters of Special Forces.

And before the finals of the world league, we went there once again, except for Gideon. He joined us on the day of the finals."

By the time he was finished, Mia already put her gun down but there was a look of hesitation in her eyes.

She replied, "It's true that not every person can know of these things but if you have any piece of information that can strongly prove your identity. It would be nice."

"Damn, she was too cautious." Azzy thought for a bit and spoke, "It will be embarrassing for you if I say it aloud. So, can I say this in your ears instead?"

"No need. There's no stranger here. Not to mention, I don't have anything to hide." ｆ𝓇𝘦ℯ𝙬𝑒𝐛n𝐨νe𝙡.c𝑜𝗺

As Mia insisted on letting him speak out aloud, believing that all of her secrets are known to the public, Azzy glanced at her husband and hesitated to voice it out. In the end, he let out a sigh, "just give me the damn paper and pen, Calder."

Calder didn't know what Azzy wanted to reveal, nevertheless, he complied with the latter's request.

Azzy then wrote something on the paper and handed it to Mia.

Mia took the paper curiously and looked at it. Immediately, her ears turned red in embarrassment as she pointed the gun at Azzy once again with a shaking arm, "You ba*t**d. How the hell did you know that?"

Azzy scratched his cheek as he answered, "Claire told me. She might have also told me that you didn't attend classes for the next 3 days because of embarrassment."

"What is it?" Calder couldn't help but turn curious. Is it some past secret of his wife that he didn't know?

Putting down the gun, Mia revealed her secret as it happened a long time ago for her, "When I was in 6th grade, I went to the boys' toilet as it was urgent. I didn't get caught or anything but the toilet paper was actually over at that time. So, I used my underwear to wipe it off… Ugh… it was too embarrassing…"

Mia covered her face, remembering her past, and she immediately scolded Azzy, "Damn you, Azrael. Can't you just summon the black wolf and prove your identity? Your battles are recorded anyway."

"Ah! That's right." Azzy only realized it as she reminded him. He apologized right away, "Sorry about that."

"Come out, Vajra"

Summoning the black lightning wolf, he asked, "Anyway, now, you will believe that it was me, right? Or should I summon the undead too?"

"Yeah, I believe you." Mia nodded as she stared at the celestial-grade Arcana, "After all, only Claire knows of the incident and she wouldn't reveal my secrets to even a normal friend much less a stranger. Sorry for doubting you but it was necessary for me to confirm your identity. It concerns the job Claire gave to me, after all."

"Job? What job?"

<strong>Sometime later;</strong>

Azzy was sitting alone inside a room with a laptop in front of him. A video was playing and he watched it intently with headphones over his ears so that only he gets to listen to the message Claire saved for him. 𝘧r𝗲𝑒𝔀𝘦𝙗𝓃oν𝑒l.𝐜𝗼m

An older Claire, who looks like she is in her 20s, narrated the things she experienced ever since his disappearance.

"So, this is why I decided to leave for my ancestral homeland. I know that it is going to be tough for you, but for the sake of living together for thousands of years, a few dozen years of parting is worth it. Sorry for taking the decision without consulting.

And I also hope that you won't travel back to the time to convince me otherwise. It took a great deal for me to go through everything and get to the conclusion. I will be waiting for the day to reunite with you once again. Love you forever, Rael."

The video ended but Azzy stayed on the spot for a long time, digesting the fact that his reunion with Claire won't happen unless the latter becomes a Demigod.

With Agatha being a Celestial grade spirit, and combined with the spiritual richness in the Silver City at Heaven, Azzy didn't think it won't be too long before she achieves it.

So, in order to stay with her, he also needed to become Demigod too. Thankfully, Azzy knows that he does become one, although has no idea when he becomes one.

Whatever the case, the matter with Claire was cleared, and he needs to deal with other matters like searching for his missing parents, reuniting with his foster uncle/adopted grandpa, returning to the clan, burying Barbara's body at Crescent Clan's graveyard, bringing justice to his dead master, and then, draw a plan for the future.

? Azzy left the room and went downstairs with the Pendrive in his pocket. At the lounge, Mia was waiting for him with Calder and her bodyguards, although at the moment, she was in the middle of a video call with her daughter.

Upon seeing Azzy, she disconnected it and rose to her feet, "What did she say?" She asked anxiously. Despite holding the Pendrive for nearly a decade, she didn't watch it once, staying true to her promise.

Azzy replied, "She will return soon. Or I will bring her back for sure."

Mia stared at him for a brief moment of time and nodded, "alright." She didn't know what was on the file but she decided to trust him.

"Before I leave, I want to visit my master. Can you tell me where my master and Ms. Sahara are resting?"
