Chapter 6 CHAPTER 6: THE SEVEN WINGS
"... Are you as wild elsewhere…" Davies continued as he blocked her way and pressed up against her at the bar, his face continually inching towards hers which was blushing heavily.
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
"You have important visitors, Mr. Lake," Daniel's voice rang out from behind the door, putting an end to all "illegal activities" going on behind the closed doors.
Davies pulled away from Jessica and she quickly scampered out of his range with a blushing smile on her face. Davies watched all this with an amused look on his face as he walked back to the large sofa and sat on it comfortably before calling out to Daniel.
"Send them in…"
The doors were swung open by Daniel for the visitors, a couple of purple hooded figures. On their purple robes was an interesting seven-winged crest showing outstandingly on their chest areas.
"... The Seven Wings… To what do I hold the pleasure of your visit?" Davies asked, almost politely with a surprised tone in his voice.
"We were sent by the Golden Wing, to welcome "The Greatest Genius of the century" back to the city of Yorkshire." One of the two hooded figures answered politely, stating their reason for being there.
"The Golden Wing…!" Davies whispered, shocked,
"Please, do send her my regards and tell her that I have received her greetings with joy in my heart." Davies finally responded to the emissaries after a few seconds of shock.
"The Golden Wing also said to tell you that she looks forward to working with you in the near future." The second emissary said this time, shocking everyone in the room that heard these words.
"It'll be an honor to work with anyone of the Seven Wings." Davies politely responded to the second emissary as well.
"We've received your greetings and response and shall give your regards to the Golden Wing." The emissaries replied together as they both raised their hands and started moving them strangely, creating strange patterns in the air until a reaction occurred with the space in the middle of the patterns turning to a purple void.
The Seven Wings emissaries stepped into the portal that they just opened up and then disappeared with the portal closing behind them.
Davies sighed as he stood up and went to the bar and grabbed the cocktail prepared by Jessica and downed it in one gulp before sitting down and letting out a sigh.
"Greatest genius of the century huh?" He chuckled dryly.
"If I knew all this would happen then I would not have invented that powerstone machine."
"Now I'm getting attraction from annoying people that are only going to make my life more of a mess… "
"... Drink…?" Davies said to himself before noticing that there was nothing in his glass and calling out to Jessica to make him another drink.
Jessica hurried back to the bar, "Was that really the Seven Wings?" she asked with awe in her tone.
"Do you think, anyone would impersonate one of the most powerful and mysterious organizations and then come to meet me, a Mega with my worth in the billions and a huge company to my name only to deliver that kind of message?" Davies asked with a stupefied expression on his face as he looked at her.
"... Seriously, what is it with girls and dumb questions?" Davies grumbled as he picked up his glass and drank a newly mixed cocktail.
"Hey! I was just shocked at the fact that the wing golden of the Seven Wings sent emissaries to meet my boss," Jessica said loudly as she put down her own now empty glass and began to pour another set of drinks together.
"Pffffttt… hahahahaha" Davies almost spat out the drink in his mouth as he started laughing at her, "It's "Golden Wing and not wing golden, Jessie." He managed to say between laughs to the now embarrassed Jessica.
"… Whatever," Jessica said as she rolled her eyes at him, trying to hide her embarrassment.
"The Seven Wings has 7 top heads that they call wings, unfortunately almost nothing is known about them apart from the fact they are all signified by their wing color that differs them from the other, not even their gender or race is known. They truly are the most mysterious organization as even most of their important members are not known and the few members that are known are all big and powerful people that normal people can't even touch. So, it's a bit worrying that they're looking for me." Davies explained,
"Hey, it can't be all that bad, maybe Imperium Technologies could end up working with the Seven wings sometime in the future," Jessica said gleefully.
"True, but that won't concern low-level employees, so you don't need to worry about it," Davies said with a smirk as he sipped on his drink.
"It is quite nice what has happened around here in the years I wasn't here." Davies sighs as he puts down his glass.
"A lot of people actually want to know why you literally disappeared from the face of the earth for 12 years." Jessica suddenly asks.
"... You included?" Davies looks at her with a smile,
"... Yes, me included…" She replied.
"First of all, … I didn't actually disappear from the face of the earth, otherwise how else would the company run. Who did you think keeps inventing the stuff you guys sell." Davies says with a chuckle,
"As for why I seemed to disappear or where I was or what I was doing, maybe I'll tell you on another day when you're not half drunk," Davies states as he noticed her reddened face.
"I'm not half drunk!" Jessica responds loudly.
"Tell that to your red face, haha." Davies chuckles at her reaction.
"I. am. not. drunk." Jessica says again slowly.
"Yeah right, where do you live so I can get someone to send you home?" Davies ignores what she is saying and asks.
"No," Jessica said firmly.
"...Huh? Where you live is called no?" Davies looked at her confusedly.
"What? No, I'm not telling you, my address," she replied.
"Must be drunker than I thought… no matter, we do have company records." Davies stands up and starts walking towards the door to call Daniel, but Jessica grabs his arm as soon as he walks past her.
"Hmm…" Davies looks down at Jessica who was holding his arm while looking at the floor.
"Take me…" she mumbled inaudibly.
"Sorry what?" Davies bent down to ask, as he couldn't hear what she said the first time but was shocked out of his mind when Jessica suddenly lurched forward and kissed him.
Davies's eyes widened in surprise, 'Oi, oi, oi… when did female leads get this bold…' he thought, completely shocked at her boldness and straightforwardness.
After a few more seconds, Davies pulled away from the kiss as he was contemplating this new, and quite strange advancement as he didn't expect her to be the one to make the first move and he definitely didn't expect it as early as tonight, but as he looked at her breathtaking appearance, with her face rosy from all the drinking and the kiss they shared just a few seconds ago, all his plan devising went straight out the window,
"Well, what the hell," he breathed out before smashing his lips against hers in another long breathtaking kiss. Jessica reflexively tried to push him away, but Davies grabbed her two hands and placed them above her head and then held them there with one of his hands as he pushed her back on the chair while still kissing her. They continued kissing in his position for a minute before Davies suddenly pulled away again, surprising Jessica who had long since stopped resisting.
Davies stood up and smoothed his hair and then stretched a hand that Jessica grabbed and got pulled to her feet, still confused.
"While this is the 69th floor, I'd prefer to do my 69 someplace else... preferably my place," Davies said with a mischievous smile.
"Also, you're a surprisingly good kisser, is it experience?" Davies continued as he began to walk towards the door with Jessica's hand still in his.
"...No… you're my first kiss," Jessica said in a very low voice that Davies only managed to hear because of his enhanced physical ability.
"So, you practice with your pillow then," Davies said playfully.
"...!?" Jessica opened her mouth in surprise and wanted to say something, but Davies goes on to say, "All girls do it, so don't be so shocked that I know."
Davies opens the door to meet Daniel standing right in front of the door.
"Daniel… I'm leaving now." Davies called out to Daniel.
"Will you be driving aga… oh." Daniel was saying as he turned around but paused mid-sentence.
"Take one of the spare cars from the company garage and use that to get home, I'll be… busy tonight," Davies said quickly and started to lead Jessica toward the elevator.
They got into the elevator and Davies pressed the button to take them to the 1st floor, the doors closed, and the elevator began descending the building. The doors to the elevator opened when it reached the 1st floor and Davies stepped out with Jessica holding onto his arm.
They start walking toward the door that led outside when Miya's voice suddenly rang out in his head,
[He's here, the protagonist is here on this floor]
