Chapter 48: Five Dragon Balls in Hand!

This answer was obviously completely out of Colleen's expectation. Her eyes widened as she asked again: ”Going around the world? What are you doing? How long would that take?”

After giving the matter some thought, Saint decided not to lie, but also no spill out the whole truth. He said: ”I'm looking for a few items. Some of them may still be in the wilderness, or even under the sea, so I have no accurate way of estimating how long this trip should make.”

Colleen's was very confused, and it took her a while before she could make up her mind: ”I can't go. bakuto might come to New York very soon, and I have a score to settle with him!”

”Bakuto? Where did you get the news?”

”A Former student!” Colleen grinned and said: ”There is news that Bakuto is coming to deal with Danny Rand personally.”

Saint frowned, doing his best to overcome his protective instincts. He knew he couldn't just treat Colleen, a martial artist, as a weakling. He could only remind her: ”Be careful; this could be a trap! Your former student is a member of the Hand after all!”

”Do not worry.” Colleen showed a happy confident smile; ”I can protect myself, I promise! You…”

”Hold on!” All of a sudden, Saint yelled, and then said to the surprised Colleen: ”I know what you'll say! You've trained me well, and I was able to master the Zanzoken! Well, remember, you can only use the Zanzoken once, you should never do it again until your body is fully rested!”

Colleen couldn't get herself to respond angrily and instead rewarded Saint by smiling even more: ”I know, you can rest ȧssured!”

”That would be impossible, but oh well, even if I'm worried, I could only trust you!” Saint's tone became even more serious.

”…”

Colleen bit her lip slightly, and suddenly stood up from her chair, went across the table, respond to Saint's word with a kiss to his lips…

”Smash! Crack!” The pasta dishes fell to the ground, and the food got splattered all under the table….

Five hours later, Saint got on the flight to London, alone. After landing, he immediately called Colleen to tell her he made it well, and then sent a text message to Lorna. Then, he rested in London for one night before renting a car and going to the periphery of the city in the direction of the Dragon Ball he sensed.
