Chapter 985: Let's Go Find That Girl
It took an hour for Archer's father to speak in a voice full of emotion as he recovered from the healing spell, "Are you really my boy? It's hard to believe."'
''I understand, but I will prove it to you," he answered the old man before casting Mana Manipulation and recreating the old him.
Before his reincarnation, he had brown hair and blue eyes, strikingly resembling his mother- albeit as a male version of her. Standing five feet ten inches tall with a slim build, he elicited wide-eyed astonishment from his father, yet he pressed on undeterred.
He used the spell to show his Father many memories from his childhood, from early Christmas mornings to football games. All this overwhelmed them, as Nyx caused them to see how emotional Archer was.
The memories were ones he had always thought about during the eight years he was on Thrylos.
This caused the old man to hug him. Archer returned the hug but asked in a questioning tone, "What happened to you?"
"When you were killed, I retreated to the bottle while losing everyone in the process," his father said with a voice ridden with shame. "They all moved to Florida to be with your Aunt Bel after my divorce from your mother."
He frowned upon hearing this but quickly shifted the topic. "Allow me to introduce Nyx, my fiancée," he said, gesturing to Nyx, standing quietly to the side, observing their conversation. Archer introduced his father, "And this is Harry Bennett, my father here on Earth."
Harry's gaze settled on Nyx, and his eyes widened in astonishment. "Is she a supermodel?" he muttered, unable to hide his surprise.
Upon hearing that, the older man shook his head, a wave of panic crossing his face. "Arch, I really need to get to the warehouse," he said hurriedly. "They'll fire me for sure this time if I'm late. Can we catch up later?"
Archer laughed before flicking a gold coin at his old man, "Stop working, Dad. I know you've always loved gardening, one of your passions. My palace is the best I've ever seen, and you can work there when we return to my world."
"What happened to you son?" Harry questioned him.
Following that, Archer explained everything that had gone on throughout his life. The whole reincarnation shocked his father, but he soon accepted it. He was happy to have his youngest back in his life.
"So you want me to work for you, boy? Why should I leave my life behind here, and what will you pay me?" Harry commented with a smile while stretching his limbs.
The older man started moving around like a child, testing the speed of his new trainers, which made the couple laugh. Archer shook his head at his father's reaction as he questioned, "Like the new body? My healing spells kicked all of Earth's dirtiness from your system."
Harry looked at him with wide eyes as he jumped up and down before exclaiming so loud that it made Nyx yelp, "I'm healed! The horrible back pain has vanished!"
"Well, if you turn to the bottle again, I will punish you beyond anything you can imagine, Father," he warned with a smile that didn't reach his eyes. "Don't waste this gift I gave you." When the older man heard this, he was shocked by the tone and was going to scold his son, but Archer quickly waved his hand, and Mana Manipulation lifted his father in the air as he spoke, "This is my only warning, Harry. Don't think you can scold me like a child; only my women can do that, so don't push your luck."
As Archer acted, Nyx gently placed her hand on his arm and, with a voice full of love, said, "Don't threaten your father, darling. He's not accustomed to seeing this side of you."
Archer nodded before releasing his father. As he headed for the door, he briefly looked at Harry and said, "I'm going to find Alexa. I'll return for you when I can open a portal back home."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Once Archer had left the house, Nyx turned to Harry with a sorrowful frown. "Mr. Harry, Archer isn't the same boy you once knew. He's endured so much pain in his life. His parents in our world were cruel, abusing him in ways you couldn't imagine. They locked him in dark rooms, starved him, and withheld love."
Nyx watched Archer waiting outside for her before continuing, "But with us, he finally found the care and affection he had been deprived of. We gave him everything and all the love he could ever need."
Harry was shocked to the core and wanted a drink, but he remembered Archer's warning before asking, "Who are we? How many women does he have?"
"There are twenty-eight of us all together, but there are many more who want him as a husband," she answered the older man's question with a giggle.
Archer's father choked when he heard that. As he spoke, "How does he love each of you? And how does he even have enough time in the day?"
Nyx laughed before revealing, "You don't realize how powerful your son truly is, do you?"
She approached the window with a proud smile, revealing the truth, "He is bound to become a Dragon God one day, Mr Harry. Archer will be the bulwark against the darkness that infects our world."
"What are you talking about? Dragons? Gods?" the older man mumbled before shrugging. "Well, he did reappear in front of me in a new body and completely healed me from my serious health conditions."
Nyx stepped toward the door, her voice carrying the pride of a devoted wife. "I've seen Archer battle monsters that would haunt your worst nightmares. I've watched him face death itself and come out victorious. You'll finally understand how much he's changed when you see what he's created in our world."
Following that, Archer watched Nyx step out of his Father's house with a smile before kissing him. When they separated, she spoke, "Now, let's go find the girl who has had your heart from the beginning."
Archer nodded as he replied, "Do you want to get the bus to her workplace? It's a few hours from here?"
Nyx agreed with an excited nod before he continued, "Well, let's find a gold shop so I can sell some of my gold coins and buy us an oyster card."
While looking for a shop, Archer sent messages to Maeve and Ashoka only to find out they had to return to Isabella's place because the homeowners had returned. This worried him, but the two women reassured him they were fine.
Afterward, the couple headed to the local high street in search of a shop willing to exchange a few gold coins. They spent an hour scouring the area until they finally found a store just
opening for the day.
Inside, they were greeted by a young man and woman standing behind the counter. Archer approached, followed by Nyx, before putting three coins on the side while speaking, "How much can you give me for these pure gold coins?"
The woman looked at him with a strange expression while the man watched Nyx and couldn't keep his eyes off her. Archer was about to speak, but the chaos dragon beat him to it as she rounded on the stranger.
"Stop staring at me like I'm a piece of meat, or you'll soon find out what a solid slap can do to a jaw," she growled, her voice low and threatening.
The other shopkeeper intervened immediately. "I apologize for the inconvenience, sir," she said, her tone smoothing over the tension. "You and your companion are unique. I've never seen anyone like you two."
Archer waved it away, "We are in London to visit family and see these. I bought them from a market in the Middle East. Can you tell me if they're worth anything?"
The woman nodded before introducing herself, "I'm Alisha, and this is my assistant Marc. Let me take these back to process them."
"Okay. How long will it take?" Archer questioned the woman as she put the three coins in a
bag.
"Ten minutes at most," Alisha said, smiling before rushing into the back.
Archer and Nyx were motioned to a waiting area by Marc, who wouldn't look at them. When
the couple sat down, he started using Mana Manipulation to help a plant grow and burn through his mana while waiting.
What stunned Archer the most was discovering that Earth had mana, though not as abundant as Thrylos. This allowed him to recover at will. Fifteen minutes later, the brunette Alisha returned, her green eyes as wide as saucers, clutching a bag that appeared to be filled with
money.
As she approached, her voice trembled with nervous excitement. "My boss said he'll offer you five thousand per coin and will buy any more, that's if you have more," she announced. Archer beamed when hearing this before taking the bag of money and storing it in his Item Box, but made it seem like he put it in his hoodie pocket-following that, he pulled out another ten, which shocked the beautiful young woman.
