Chapter 29: Mysterious One-Eyed Bald Man
”Of course.” As Saint stood up, he nodded saying: ”I have no plans to take hostages. However, control your men. If they start acting being suspicious, I won't be merciful.”
”Rest ȧssured; they're all professionals. Even when not agreeing with my orders, they'll never go against them in a mission.”
With Coulson giving his guarantee and Saint nodding back at him, he gave his commands to the support team, to go in unarmed and take out their unconscious companions and gather their scattered firearms.
Later, Phil chatted with Melinda, and then said to Saint: ”We'll be going now, and we'll contact you later.
”Hold on!”
Saint went in Coulson's way, pointing to the table that was cut in half: ”Before you go, make up for my desk!”
”…”
Phil looked at the table silently: ”You've destroyed that yourself…”
”Don't make excuses!” Saint interrupted Coulson squinting at him: ”Don't you know what's teaching through observation? I've cut the table for your sake agent Coulson. Now, it's my bad? Hurry up and pay will ya?”
”…”
With a helpless face, Phil took out his wallet and pulled out one bill. He gave it to Saint and asked: ”Is that enough?”
”One hundred dollars? Are you kidding me?” Saint grabbed Coulson's wallet, and couldn't help but yell: ”Agent Coulson, what are you broke or something? You have only a hundred dollars on you when on a mission?”
”A hundred dollars is a lot; at least enough to buy you a table!” Phil Coulson grabbed his walled in a bad mood.
”That could bȧrėly buy me a plastic one! You owe me a good red wooden table!”
”Your table is not red…”
”Hurry up will ya? You're not staying for Tea or something?”
”…”
After getting Coulson and May out, Saint locked the store, closed the curtains, and walked slowly in. As he did so, his front foot couldn't support him, and he collapsed to ground.
”Boss!”
Lorna, who was walking down stairs, screamed and rushed down, and held Saint up: ”Are you okay?”
”Shhh!” Saint told her to keep quiet for now, and then patted her shoulder reassuring her whispering softly: ”Don't worry, I just can't use Ki so continuously. It's too draining, and I have to rest for a while.”
Hearing this, Lorna couldn't help but pout: ”That was… really badass boss! You've threatened them while this tired, and even dared to ask for money!”
”What do you know?” Saint said, ”That's bluffing! I was already in sweat. They started doubting I lost my strength, and just were not sure. If I showed just a little eagerness to let them go, Coulson would've turned on me immediately!”
