Chapter 14 - M.D.B 14: Saint Ferocious! (2/2)
”They seem to be from Hong Kong's Hatchet Gang. I think… this is probably because of the conflict of our businesses. Just recently, our enterprises bought a pier they wanted.”
Bought a pier….
The corner of Saint's mouth twitched…. She said that so casually as if she was talking about buying some article from a store. Saint really could not understand the rich.
At this time, Lorna and Peter came over from the back of the restaurant. Peter, who was unsettled, said: ”Oh, boss, you said that this neighborhood wasn't the best… you weren't kidding weren't you? And… where are the police? I can't see them! Did you just take down one, two, three, four…. FOUR GANGSTERS? Did you handle them all on your own? Oh! Oh god! That man had just vomited a lot of blood! How did you beat him like that? Wait, is this what real Chinese kong Fu? Aren't you cheating boss?”
”Peter… SHUT UP!”
Saint interrupted Peter's never ending talk, and then turned to Lorna and said: ”Lorna, are you alright?”
Indeed, the main reason why Saint did not want the gangsters to ravage inside and cornered them at the door was not just saving Joy. Yes, that was a partial truth, but his main fear was that Lorna could lose her temper, and then go all out wreaking havoc in the store…
”I'm fine Boss, just a little scared.
Despite the fact that she said that, Saint activated Ki sense and observed Lorna's Ki, just to find out it was stable. This made him relieved for now, but he made a decision: he has to find the time to talk this over with her, if he ever wants to stop treating her as a ticking time bomb.
”Great! Peter, go and clean the glass off the ground.”
Hearing Saint, Joy who stood silently on the side reacted abruptly saying: ”Mr. Lee, leave the whole matter to me! I'll get this door repaired and everything as good as new!”
”Thank you, Joy! And, by the way, call me Saint!” Saint did not refuse, and then politely pointed out where the police sirens started sounding: ”Joy, do me one more favor and find a way to spare me from having to go to the police station….”
”Of course!” Joey nodded proudly and walked out of the store saying: ”Don't worry, leave the police to me!”
The Meachum name was obviously big amongst police officers in New York. After Joy and the two Policemen who came exchanged a few words, the whole incident was defined as legitimate self-defense. Not only that, Saint's name wasn't even mentioned in the report, as the one taking down these four gangsters was just mentioned to be ”Ms. Meachum's bodyguard”!
In a short while, two ambulances rushed to the scene taking all 4 gangsters on stretchers. The two policemen escorted the ambulances to the hospital. With that, the matter finally came to an end.
