----Forever's Not Enough
Song by Sarah Geronimo---
🎶 For you, there's nothing I can do
And never will I ever go
Forever's not enough to love you so
But if forever ends one day
I'll promise you I'll stay
To show you that my love for you will never end...
And if forever's not enough for me to love you
I'd spent another lifetime baby if you ask me to
There's nothing I won't do
Forever's not enough for me to love you so
And if forever's not enough for me to love you
I'd spent another lifetime baby if you ask me to
There's nothing I won't do
Forever's not enough for me to love you so...🎶🎶
Archie ended the song, everyone stood up and clapped their hands and Archie's performance.
"You're a good singer. David is really lucky to have you." Martine commented.
Archie who was still chasing his breath smiled at the people.
"We've been together ever since childhood. I don't recall you having a good voice." Vicky revealed.
Of course Archie use magic to control the sound waves to make it pleasing to the ear. Actually it's more harder to do what he just did because he needs to control sounds waves to make it pleasing to the ear while singing. Imagine how hard it is to concentrate and one mistake would ruin all of his efforts.
Everyone look at Archie at Vicky's sudden revelation.
"Yup, I use magic to strengthen the sounds, to make the notes hit the marks, etc. I am really pleased that I didn't fail especially since it's my first time using it." Archie explained.
"You can use magic like that? I watch a lot of talks about your powers in the social media and it's already a lot and I didn't even heard anything about this, aren't you basically capable of everything?" Mike asks.
Archie return to David's side and David immediately put his arm on Archie's shoulders.
"I am capable of a lot of things but not everything. I believe so." Archie explained and suddenly his phone rang.
David look at him while wondering who would be calling him this time at the night.
Archie take a look at the caller and David manage to take a glimpse at it as well. After knowing who it was he immediately stood up and prepare himself to depart any moment.
Archie's caller is his father. He would not call Archie without an emergency so it's better to assume that there is one right now.
Archie answered the phone call and put it in a loud speaker so that David could hear what his father was saying.
"Archie, can you look for David? Her mother said that he is not around and his phone is turned off. The two of you come here in my office in the Hunter Association. I have some urgent matter to discuss to you."
The Chairman said in his casual tone, which makes Archie and David feel relieve, since it's only an urgent matter not an emergency.
"We are together, we will teleport there now." Archie said and ended the call.
"Sorry guys but something came up." Archie apologizes to everyone.
"Dad called us, we gotta go. Let's do this again another time. Archie's treat." David laugh and look at Archie.
Archie's expression didn't change. He is still in a serious mode.
"Yeah sure, next time let's rent an entire beach resort for ourselves. My treat."
Everyone cheered up except David who was quite shock at his proclamation.
"Hey, the cost of everything for that will probably be too much. I'm just joking earlier you don't need to make them all expect that. I'll just tell them that you are being sarcastic."
David was about to interrupt his friends but Archie stopped him.
"A lot of things happened during the 3 days that you were asleep. I'll tell you everything that happened later ok?. Just you know, I will have enough money later to even gift each one of you a five story house. That's how rich I am, currently I only have gold bars with me, look."
Archie pulled one gold bar in his pocket world and show it to David. This is just one of the gold bars that Archie requested to the America as a payment for his service.
David was quite shock to see the gold bar and tried to hide it with his huge body.
"Don't just casually pull valuable things like that." He warned Archie.
"It's fine, everyone it's my treat today, I don't have cash with me right now but you can use this one. This is my way of apologizing as well."
Archie put the gold bar on the table which makes everyone speechless.
"Please enjoy yourself. Don't worry it's a real gold, that came from the America. It's up to you to sell it."
Archie look at David and hold his hand.
"Let's go."
--Teleport--
The venue change immediately and we arrived at the Chairman's office.
He is in his seat taking a sip of his coffee while reading some documents.
"Mr. Chairman, were here." Archie said and the middle age men take a look at the two newly arrive people.
"Take a seat first. Also take this."
The Chairman handed Archie a papers with card in it. Archie read the content and he was shock to see $500million in his name and account.
"A certain Chinese business tycoon won the auction. You receive $550million I think, but commission fees has been deducted, hence the $500million."
"$500 million?!!" David was so surprise to what his father said and the guy look at Archie with his eyes about to pop out any moment.
"Chairman, you didn't deduct your shares?" Archie asks.
The Chairman shakes his head.
"I know now the value of your legendary grade item and you given 3 of them to my son David, and you even provided both of my sons with epic rank items that could one day grow to become a legendary grade. I don't think half a million peso will be a good enough price for it. Please consider my share as the payment for their items. I know that it's not much but I won't ask you for any profit shares next time that you ask me to auction something for you."
"I guess I'll take your shares right now as a payment for your son's magic items. Since it's been paid already, the next time you can have your shares Chairman. I won't accept refusals this time. A promise is still a promise." Archie said and the middle age man just laugh at him.
"Sure, let's see what we got in the future. Anyways hows your work outside this country? What time are you going to start your work tomorrow?"
"Those nations are still gathering mana stones and those who have it already where asking me to start it tomorrow afternoon. I am probably here working during the day."
"Good, I have some work for you tomorrow." Mr. Soreso said and he turn his head and look at David.
"David, will you be fine handling a dungeon tomorrow." He asks David.
"Yes Dad, I didn't feel any problem with my body."
"Did you drink? You smell alcohol."
"Just a little Dad to warm me up. Does my guild have additional members that can join me in the raid already?"
"Yes, your brother and your secretary is very diligent in working. They actually manage to make your guild a place for A rank hunters and above only. It's your job to form strategies and command your members. You better do your job well, the lives of your members rely on your judgement."
"Yes Dad."
"Good, also bring your brother in the raid. Depending on his decision, I don't mind transferring him to your guild instead. I heard from your secretary that he was very enthusiastic in entering a dungeon along with your members, luckily Archie manage to stop him. I am not in the mood to lecture an adult with a mind of a child so I'll leave him up to you. Make sure that you take care of him."
David take a glance at Archie and Archie who understands that David wants to know about it in detail nodded.
David take a look at his father again before nodding.
"I will Dad." David replied.
The Chairman look for something on the pile of documents in his table and after a few seconds he handed something to Archie.
"This is a report from the Department of National Defense. They interviewed the person that was captured by Charlie after causing a property damages in a farm in Davao. According to the report the suspect was acting weird and only repeats a certain word, but when they investigated its background, they learned that the person is in its right mind before being awaken. We never receive any reports of an awakening that resulted in being insane that's why we want you to take a look at it first. Will that be alright?"
"That's very weird indeed. Normally people will experience improvements in their bodies as they awaken. I never heard of someone lossing their minds after awakening. This is a very unique case, I'll take a closer look at it tomorrow sir."
"Good, whatever the result is, report it to me immediately."
