Chapter 68 - Flying Dragon Ball (2/2)

...

Over an hour later, Saint landed behind his restaurant. He muttered to himself: ”I should have let Coulson bring me here. When trying to keep my Ki consumption below its regeneration, I can't go as fast as his car…”

Four days had passed, and Saint was not happy to discover that this time, he wasn't that lucky. The Dragon Balls were not charging at a fast pace at all, with seemingly none-of-them falling near any high-energy source. He could only rely on himself to charge them.

As for what ”charger” he should use, the answer was obvious. It was the same as last time, and somewhere exclusive to Stark Industries: the Arc Reactor!

”They haven't lost anything anyway, and it's been four days. Why would they still be keeping an eye on the Arc Reactor?”

After whispering that, he snuck out of the restaurant, going straight to Stark Industries. Compared to last time, Saint didn't feel as much pressure. On one hand, he was no longer the same, and on the other, he already provoked Tony Stark once, so doing it again now did not have much of a psychological burden attached to it.

Besides, in half a month, Saint was going to Afghanistan with SHIELD to personally rescue Tony Stark. Even with the latter's bigger than life ego, he should be grateful enough to not react too badly to Saint's actions.

After over 20 minutes, and flying quiet a distance, Saint became within seven Kilometers from Stark Industries. Right then, something that he never expected happened!

The Dragon Ball in his pocket suddenly changed from its gray stone state to an energy form. The whole process happened in the blink of an eye, and it came out of his clothes and flew away!

Saint could not anticipate what was happening, and by the time he realized it, the speeding Dragon Ball had already flown hundreds of meters away!

Immediately, he wrapped his entire body in Ki, and release Ki from the tips of his feet at maximum speed. As he cut through the air, a loud noise voice was made a while after his passing. In fact, he broke through the sound barrier and was flying at a supersonic speed!

Underneath, was non-other than the giant Ark Reactor…

Seeing it, Saint quickly dispersed the Ki wrapping his body to extinguish the eye-catching flame he made for in the sky, and then flew for tens of meters silently, hiding himself under the dark night sky. The noise that his passing had caused should have certainly alerted many people within an area of a few square Kilometers. Now, only god knows how many of them were looking up to the sky.

”Damn it!” Saint sneaked to the top of the Ark Reactor. Through the massive glass roof that had been repaired, he could clearly see the Dragon Ball that flew away from his pocket. It landed on top of the Ark Reactor, falling in the same location was he found the Six-Star Dragon Ball last time.

”You got me all worried, damn it! I thought I'd lose you!”
