A Journey That Changed The World

Chapter 1030: Meeting The Government

Archer replied to the blonde while chuckling. [It looks like my secret is out, but oh well. Yes, I was fighting in New York just before we met]

After sending the message, Archer noticed Lily didn’t reply, which surprised him. He

shrugged it off and returned to enjoying his hot dogs, focusing on the bustling scene around him.

‘I wonder what drama is going to happen now,’ he thought before standing up and casting Blink to appear high in the sky.

Within seconds, Archer summoned his wings before flying out of London. A group of men in suits rushed toward the spot he was just in. This caused him to think, “I wonder how many countries know about me now.’

Afterward, he pulled out his phone while landing on the Shard and got comfortable ringing Elizabeth. After a few rings, the older woman picked up the phone with a cheerful voice, “Hello darling. What can I do for you?”

“What countries know about me, Liza? I’m currently in Central London, and men in suits are following me,” Archer questioned.

She went quiet for a minute before replying, “I believe the EU and the UK know about this. Prime Minister Arthur Hastings has been questioning us about you.”‘

When Archer heard that name, his eyes widened in shock, ‘Are they related?’ he thought as his curiosity took over.

“What do they want?” he inquired after shaking his head. “It seems like they were chasing me, but I flew away.”

Elizabeth giggled as she explained, “They know you’re involved with the Davis Family, which surprised me when I found out, but there are others who wish to have you on their side.”

“Well, for now, I just want peace; dealing with the Swarm is annoying as I had years of it back home,” Archer replied while eating a cheeseburger. “I will see you in a day or two, Liza. Speak soon.”

He had to get off the phone as a helicopter was heading in his direction, surrounded by attack ones. When Archer saw this, his eyebrow raised in suspicion, and the machines started circling him.

Without wasting time, he cast Blink and appeared in the main hall, where a group of people in suits sat. They jumped in fright as Archer appeared, causing him to laugh before speaking, “Why are you guys chasing me? Do we have an issue?”

An older man shook his head, eyeing him with suspicion. “Are you Archer Wyldheart? Lover of the Davis Family women and contractor for the US?”

He nodded, taking in the man’s words. With a touch of formality, the man extended his hand. “I’m Roger Mortimer, Home Secretary in the UK government.”

Archer studied him for a moment before shaking his hand. “Nice to meet you, but what’s your agenda with me?”

The man shifted slightly, a hint of nervousness flickering in his eyes, but his tone remained professional. “The prime minister requests your presence. Alongside the US president and EU leaders, next Monday.”

Archer frowned, his confusion evident. “Why?”

“The monsters that are attacking our countries,” Roger revealed while the helicopter headed for the closest military base. “It’s clear from your fight in New York that you can deal with what we call the Dark Ones.”

“Oh, you want me to protect your country from their attacks?” Archer replied while looking out the window.

As the afternoon sun beamed, the countryside passed by, and a woman in a business suit said, “We can pay you for each attack you stop, but you’ll have to follow our command.”‘

Archer looked at her and started laughing before replying with a grin, “I listen to no one. If the Americans can’t control me, how can you?”

Following that, he used Blink to get outside the helicopter and quickly opened a gate to the park where the people in suits had appeared. Archer fell through the portal and landed with a thud.

‘Damn people trying to control me. If they continue, I will show them the error of their ways.’

He stood up and heard a ping, which caused him to pull out his phone to see a text from Alexa. [I’m nearly done here. Can you meet me in the lobby?]

After receiving the address, Archer began making his way toward her office. He walked for about ten minutes before spotting a building with Davis displayed on the front. The sight caught him off guard, filling him with surprise.

“They’re rich so it makes sense,’ he thought with a shrug.

Archer soon entered the lobby and found a bench to sit on. He pulled out a hotdog and ate it while waiting for Alexa. As ten minutes passed, he watched people come and go, only to have a security guard approach.

The big man looked drunk on power, causing Archer to roll his eyes as the guard spoke gruffly. “You’re going have to leave, mate. No loitering in the Davis lobby as we have respectable people visiting.”

“Are you saying I’m not respectable?” Archer replied while finishing his food and standing up with a gleam in his violet eyes. “I’m not leaving as I’m waiting for my girlfriend.” “Clearly,” the guard replied in a sarcastic voice. “You’re looking for a hot place to chill as most homeless try.”

When Archer heard this, he burst out laughing but soon noticed Alexa approaching as she stepped out of an elevator. She stopped behind the man as he spoke angrily, “You can’t sit here anymore. Can you leave before I call the police?”

“I’m waiting for my girlfriend; she told me to come to the lobby,” he replied to the angry guard. “I don’t know what else to tell you?”

The guard started to speak, but Alexa’s voice interrupted him. “What are you doing, Robbie? Why are you harassing my guy?”

Archer watched as the color drained from the guard’s face. He spun around quickly, stammering, “Madam Davis, I didn’t realize this young man was your boyfriend. He’s never been here before.”

With a curt nod, Alexa waved him off without another word. As soon as the guard disappeared, she flashed a bright smile and pulled Archer into a warm hug. “It’s so good to see you, Arch.

What’ve you been up to?”

Archer smiled as they left the building and walked down the street. He filled her in on everything that had happened. When he finished, they found themselves outside a pub, drawn by the mouthwatering aroma that filled the air.

With a knowing glance, Alexa turned to him, and without a word, they headed inside for a bite to eat. As they settled in, Archer watched her casually tie her navy blue hair into a ponytail, undoing a few buttons to relax.

When they entered the establishment, he noticed it was busy as people rushed around, but some empty tables littered it. Alexa grabbed his hand before dragging him towards one as a waitress approached with a friendly smile.

The young woman spoke in a professional tone, “How can the Hungry Horse help you two today? We have the special which I would recommend.”

Alexa nodded and started speaking while Archer read the menu before speaking up after his childhood love placed her order. “Can I please get two specials and three hamburgers?” Once he was done speaking, the waitress wrote everything down while Alexa giggled at his reaction. The duo then started chatting until some drunks stumbled in, which caught their

attention.

“Do you want to make a bet, babe?” Alexa’s voice broke through as Archer’s gaze lingered on

the group of men nearby.

He turned to her, intrigued. “Go on.”

“If things kick off and you somehow get involved,” she smirked, “You pay for the hotel room we’re heading to. But if I’m wrong, I’ll cover it.”

Archer started laughing but agreed to the wager. The couple shook hands when the waitress returned his burgers. When the woman placed the food on the table, she smiled before informing them, “The rest of your order will be out soon. Sorry for the wait, as it’s busy

today.” Once the waitress was gone, he handed Alexa a burger, which she accepted with a grin. As they ate, she let out small groans of satisfaction, clearly enjoying the meal. After finishing, she smiled brightly and said, “That was delicious. I can’t wait for the rest.”

Following that, they continued eating while Alexa told him everything that happened at work.

He found out she was working on a big project. Archer was curious and asked, “What do you

exactly do, Lex?”

She looked at him blankly before explaining with an amused voice, “In simple words, I balance the books of the UK Davis Company while looking for new trends to introduce so we

can earn more money.”

Archer nodded in understanding before she spoke, “When I spoke to Maeve, she said you have

your own company?”

“Yes. Wyldheart Industries, we focus on mining rare resources and manufacturing stuff for the kingdom,” he revealed, which caught her attention. “Ella has been running it for me and

has done a good job so far.”
