Chapter 108: Missing Something

"What information?" Xander asked, wondering what could be the matter.

"I had a meeting with Varant recently. In that meeting, he gave me a mission," Ayn explained to Xander, breaking the silence that filled the room.

Xander knew that Ayn called him to talk about Lucifer. Now that she was talking about her mission, did these two things have anything in common? He wondered.

Placing both his palms on the smooth surface of the table, he asked, "Is your mission related to Lucifer?"

"Not really. My mission is related to something else. It is just that Varant mentioned something interesting when I was with him." Ayn explained after refuting Xander's assumption.

"What did you hear?" Xander inquired as he scooted forward in his seat while sharply looking up into Ayn's beautiful eyes.

"It's about the Variant Uprising," Ayn answered, hinting at something vaguely.
