Chapter 63 - M.D.B 63: The Sudden Change (2/2)
”Jess!” Luke Cage stepped forward and pulled away Jessica, who was about to go into a rage. He didn't want her to bother Colleen in any way. After all, after seeing how powerful Saint could be, he lost confidence in his special body's ability to go against him. What if Jessica hurt Colleen and made him angry? Could he really step in for her?
At the same time, on the street in front of the alley, Saint was watching the SHIELD agents dispersing and disappearing from the area. After they were gone, he gracefully tiptoed in midair, before flying straight to Colleen.
After landing in front of everyone, Saint ignored the four defenders and only went for his girl: ”Are you okay? Have you been injured?”
She smiled and leaned forward, announcing her 'sovereignty' over Saint by putting her head on his ċhėst and saying: ”Don't worry; I don't even have a scratch on me.”
Saint did not seem to expect this reaction out of her. The girl who was chopping up her enemies with her Katana during her last battle was now leaning on him, affectionately longing for his warmth in public… Something was not right!
Nevertheless, the two embraced each other warmly and quietly for a good while before they separated.
Saint held Colleen's hand and turned to Danny Rand saying angrily: ”What have you done, Danny? If I didn't get here in time, Colleen might have gotten hurt!”
”Hold on!” Jessica did not allow Danny to speak, and jumped in directly: ”That's not what happened! The chick in white is also responsible. If it wasn't for her…”
”Jones, shut your mouth!” Matt finally interfered, stepping in Jessica's way. Then, he sincerely apologized to Saint: ”I'm sorry; don't listen to her nonsense. I was the first to attack the SHIELD Agents. Miss Wing was just too nice, interfering to keep me from getting hurt. All of this is my own responsibility. I'm really sorry and willing to make any compensation you deem appropriate.”
Saint looked at the poor lawyer and had no interest in his sincerity. Instead of answering his apology, he turned around to Danny: ”If I'm not mistaken, this lawyer is also affiliated to Kunlun… right? He made a mistake, so are you willing to pay for it?”
Danny's jaw dropped, and he did not know what to say for a good while. It was not that he couldn't understand what Saint meant; it was actually that the man who just looked ”mighty and invincible” was now more like ”some rascal” bargaining… The contrast between his characters when protecting and when talking about money was just unimaginable…
'You are really the dumbest Iron Fist in history!' Saint thought that Danny did not understand him, and just went straight to the point: ”100 grand, to compensate for the psychological damage born out of worry! Hurry up and pay!”
”…”
”…”
”…”
Of the four defenders, three were in absolute shock, unable to even react. Colleen, on the other hand, was so ashamed that she couldn't even look them in the eyes. She could only reach to Saint's waist and pinch it with all her force…
