Chapter 15: Breaking into the Gang's Nest!
With the matter complete, Saint walked out of the store and said: ”Thank you, Joy!”
”It's the least I can do!” Joy shook her head and looked down: ”I'm sorry, Saint. Because of me, now you might have the Hatchet Gang behind you!”
”This is not your fault.” Saint shrugged, as if the matter was insignificant, ”Don't worry about it. To me, they are no big threat to me.”
”Don't be careless Saint!” Joy's face showed great concern: ”I know you are strong. But what if they come at you with a gun next time? Please be careful!”
Her words immediately got Saint back to earth! He had to humbly accept them, as he knew that his arrogance was still vain while he was at this level. ”You're right! I should not be so arrogant. Thank you.”
Joy grinned and said: ”I should get back to Rand enterprises. We must take measures after such an attack!”
”Ok.” Saint nodded again, and before bidding each other farewell, he exchanged contact information with Joy: ”If you need anything, don't hesitate to call me.”
”Alright! Then, I'll be going!”
”I'll get you a cab.”
After Joy left, Saint turned back to the store, just to find someone else waiting for him. He couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: ”Colleen! What brings you he…”
”What did you say?” Colleen did not give him room to speak, pointing at Lorna: ”What bring me here you say? What kind of trouble did you get yourself into Saint? You're making me regret bringing Lorna here for work!”
”I'm not the one to blame!” Saint raised his hands, ”Didn't you see Joy leaving? The Hatchet Gang is after her! I was just an innocent bystander!”
”Hatchet Gang?” Colleen frowned, asking with doubt: ”Who's this Joy?”
Saint simply explained: ”Joy Meachum, co-director of Rand Enterprises, and Danny's childhood friend. I thought you'd know her!”
”I'm not that familiar with Danny to know his childhood friends!”
Colleen rolled her eyes and said: ”Saint, I know you're capable, but don't you think that you can't afford to mingle with these wealthy people with all the enemies they have?”
”Colleen, I know you're Lorna's Sensei, and I understand you concern for her safety.” Saint squinted, and midway through talking, his tone changed: ”But you're no Sensei of mine. You can't come here to teach me how to do things!”
Seeing him so tough, Colleen couldn't help but be stunned. She looked at him, even more surprised than before, realizing that he was getting further and further from the image she had on her old acquaintance she had known for many years.
