Chapter 65: Lola
”Nick Fury?” Saint immediately uttered the name of the one-eyed man: ”Why does he want to see me?”
Both Coulson and Natasha were stunned; the latter even unconsciously stood in combat stance asked Saint as she stared at him with cold eyes: ”How do you know that name?”
”Like I know yours…” Saint stared back at Natasha: ”Someone as big as Nick Fury, or such a debauchee, of course Kame School would have some…”
”Bang!” The sound of a gunshot interrupted Saint. Natasha pointed her gun to his head, sneered and said: ”Call me that one more time; I dare you!”
”Ding!” As Saint loosened his grip, a deformed bulled slipped through his fingertips and fell to the ground. The then shrugged indifferently: ”Sorry Sorry! I'm only targeting the 'one eyed man'; I didn't intend to expose your years in…”
”Bang!” Saint reached out again, intercepting yet another bullet that was going for his head. After throwing it away, he looked at his palm and sighed: ”This is not painless you know! Don't think I'm just going to stand here like a dummy and watch you continue like this. You're already tried twice, and I warn you; I only give three!”
”Only three? So cheap!” Natasha put the pistol back in the holster tied to her thɨġh, and then looked at Saint awkwardly: ”Me shooting is a rare scene; most would want to see it more, but most see it only once!”
Saint bit his teeth secretly, shouting in his heart: ”She's off limit!”, and then turned around to Coulson who was already dumbfounded and said: ”Well, I agree to meet the 'one eyed man'! But not now!”
Coulson returned to his senses and frowned: ”Then… When?”
”Obviously, you will have to wait for me to get Colleen home.” Saint looked at Coulson, almost in distain, and said: ”I have a girlfriend you know; I'm like you 'single VIP's here. In half an hour, I'll see downstairs at Colleen's Dojo.”
”…”
Coulson watched as Saint disappeared into the corner, and then pondered for while before turning to Natasha: ”What's this 'VIP'? It sounds good, but I can't get the contexts, and with Saint saying it, it can't be good!”
Natasha answered angrily, itching to reach for her gun again: ”A VIP is a distinguished guest… A dog!” (T/N: The Chinese don't not use VIP as an acronym for ”Very Important Person”; they say it and mean, ”distinguished person, which is written like this 贵宾. A '贵宾 Dog', or 贵宾犬, is how they write Poodle. I know, sounds cringy, but the joke isn't half bad when read in Chinese XD)
”…”
On the other side, Saint landed before the four Defenders and said: ”You can leave; SHIELD will not pursue you.” After that, Saint waved to Colleen and said: ”Hop on! Let's go home!”
After a long silence, Luke Cage suddenly patted Danny's shoulder saying: ”Hard Fist kid, your 100 grand turned out to be of great value after all!”
