A Journey That Changed The World.

Chapter 1029: Oscar Hastings



Archer stepped into the park and was at peace. The greenery and birds chirping were heaven in the concrete city. He walked through it until he found a small cafe near a playground.

As he saw that, a delicious aroma hit his nose, causing him to think as his stomach started to growl, 'Sandwiches? Haven't had an Earth one for years.'

Afterward, Archer purchased several sandwiches, much to the owner's delight. He then went to a bench atop a hill that offered a panoramic view of the city below. Settling on the bench, he savored each bite of the delicious sandwiches.

'I've missed Earth's food, but It's not better then Ella's cooking though.'

While doing that, he pulled out his phone and texted Alexa to see how long she had, only to find out they had asked her to stay an hour longer. Once he found that out, he started exploring the surrounding area.

Archer watched dozens of people go about their day. One person caught his attention-a frail old man hobbling along the road. A group of young men barged past him, causing the elderly man to stumble and fall.

People remained oblivious, their heads buried in their phones, indifferent to the old man's struggle. "It's a shame they ignored him. People are horrible nowadays," he muttered, glancing at the disconnected crowd.

Without hesitation, Archer approached and gently helped the man to his feet. With a warm smile, he remarked, "Humans can be such rude creatures. They should take better care of their elders."

The old man looked at him with narrowed eyes while speaking, "Yes, they are, young man, but I must thank you for helping me. Not many your age would."

"You're welcome," Archer replied in a friendly tone.

The man stared at him briefly before shaking his head and offering. "Would you like a cup of tea? I was heading to my favorite cafe."

"That sounds good, to be honest. I was waiting for my girlfriend to finish work, but she was held back because it was busy," he accepted the man's offer.

While the two walked, the old man introduced himself: "I'm Oscar Hastings. I'm a retired playboy and government superstar."

Hearing this, he laughed before returning the favor, "Archer Wyldheart."

Oscar smiled as he pointed his walking stick at a posh-looking cafe, "We're going there, boy. Some of the finest young ladies work there."

Archer shook his head while teasing the old man, "You dirty old man. I bet you're waiting to eat that young grass to make yourself feel better."

His new friend laughed but didn't deny the remark. Moments later, Oscar stepped into the cafe and was greeted by a younger blonde woman with piercing black eyes, dressed like a noblewoman, though she appeared to be in her late thirties.

When she spotted him, a curious expression appeared, but the old man revealed, "This is my new friend, my love. His name is Archer Wyldheart."

The woman turned to him warmly and introduced herself, "I am Anne Hastings. I see you've met my silly husband. He tends to get in trouble all the time."'

Archer laughed when he heard this, "We did meet unusually, and he managed to talk me into coming here."

Anne giggled before explaining, "Strange. He doesn't usually like strangers, but there's something about you that I can't put my finger on."'

Oscar rolled his eyes and led them to a table where two blonde women sat, sipping wine and gossiping. As the trio approached, the women briefly glanced their way but quickly fixed their attention on him.

One of the women spoke while standing up, and he quickly noticed that she looked like the blonde version of Anne. This caused him to chuckle, 'Is this their granddaughter? This old man does like eating young grass.'

The younger woman's eyes narrowed before saying, "What's so funny?"

"I didn't know the old man still worked," Archer replied. "I thought his age wouldn't allow him any more children, but here you are. Which surprised me as the old fart is still at it at his age."

He watched as shock and horror appeared on the three women's faces, but Oscar started laughing before countering, "I certainly am still working; Anne is pregnant again."

Archer's eyes widened in shock as he looked at the older woman. He narrowed his eyes before approaching her and using Mana Manipulation to scan her body, only to feel sorry for her, "The pregnancy will be hard on your body, and there's a chance you won't survive due to your age, but I can help if you like."

He figured out that she would either bleed out while giving birth or risk her life. Anne and Oscar were surprised at the news, but he touched her shoulder before casting Aurora Healing on her.

Archer used enough power to repair the woman's body, causing her to let out a groan as he helped her into a nearby chair. The old man, clearly confused by the scene, furrowed his brow and asked, "What are you doing? Why does it look like she's enjoying herself?" Without looking at his new friend, he revealed, "I've just repaired everything in her body. Now the risk is gone, and you will give birth to a healthy boy."

Oscar and the other two women looked shocked, but Archer continued, chuckling, "I will do the same for you, old man. You certainly need it."

As he approached Oscar, one of the younger women spoke as she stood up, "What creepy shit are you doing to my parents?"

Archer looked at the blonde before replying, "Your grandfather has cancer in three parts of his body, bad lungs, a weak heart, and joints so loose that he would break a bone if he fell over. I want to heal them both."

"Why?" the blue-eyed beauty asked in a quiet voice.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

He thought for a second before answering, "Because I can? Why not use my power to help those around me."

Archer's eyes narrowed as he spoke to the two women, catching something unusual on the daughter's friend's throat. Turning to Oscar, he said, "Hold on, old man. I'll heal you shortly --she has something in her throat," gesturing toward the woman.

The woman in question looked shocked, her hands instinctively flying to her neck. Archer stepped forward, reassuringly touching her shoulder as he examined her. She had silky blonde hair and striking blue eyes.

Archer shook his head, pushing aside the distracting thoughts, and gently grabbed her throat. "It's an aggressive disease, eating away at you slowly. Stay still," he instructed, his voice

calm but firm.

Without hesitation, he cast Aurora Healing on her, the magical energy flowing through her body. Moments later, the disease was destroyed, and the woman began coughing up blood as her body reacted to the sudden purge.

'She's healed now,' he thought, turning his attention to the daughter. With a polite smile, he said, "I'm Archer Wyldheart, and you are?"

The young woman's black eyes narrowed slightly before she extended her hand. He took it as she responded, "I'm Lily Hastings, granddaughter to this silly couple."

Archer started laughing while walking back over to Oscar, who was looking at him like he was the devil, "Don't you dare go after her boy! I know that gleam in your unusual eyes, she will not be your mistress."

He laughed at the old man before smirking, "She would be a wife, Grandpa; now let me heal you."

Afterward, Archer placed his hand on his new friend's shoulder, again casting Aurora Healing. A soft violet glow enveloped the frail body, mending it from within. Archer watched as the spell eradicated the cancer and strengthened everything else.

Oscar let out a groan, which made Lily and her friend panic, but he waved them off, "That's the cancer vanishing from his body. I'm repairing his joints; watch how youthful he'll be when

I'm done."

After fully healing the older couple, Archer turned to Lily and her friend. "They'll need some rest because of their age," he said, "but I'll leave you my number so the old man can reach

me."

He handed the beautiful young woman his phone, and she quickly took down his number. When she was finished, she handed it back with a smile. "I added my contact as well. I hope you don't mind, but I need to get these two back to my father's house," she explained. Archer nodded, saying his goodbyes before leaving the café with a hot chocolate. He could feel Lily's gaze lingering on him as he left. Once outside, he began exploring the local area and found a clothing store, where he picked up some casual clothes to blend in better. 'Maybe I should ask the girls to go shopping for me?' he pondered while leaving the shop after paying for everything.

Now dressed in a comfortable jumper, jeans, and trainers, Archer found a bench to settle on. As he enjoyed some hot dogs, he relaxed into the moment, people-watching and soaking in the lively atmosphere around him.

Archer savored the delicious food, and while doing that, he received a text from Lily. [Thank you for helping my grandparents]

Just as he was about to respond, another message popped up-a link to a news article featuring his picture on the front page. He couldn't help but think, 'Oh god. I forgot about the

Giants.'
