Chapter 69: GOLDEN BOY
(Translator Note: Sorry for the delay everyone. We've had a bad month, with me getting very sick twice, and the editor Sensei's uncle passing away. Thanks for your patience, and sorry again.)
This whole matter made Saint understand a new fact about the Dragon Balls in this world. Whenever they would come to a certain distance from a high-level Energy Source, it was fair to estimate that they would spontaneously approach it. The five-star Dragon Ball in his hand should be the only exception, as it was integrated with his soul, and cannot fly away.
This made things clear to him: The first time he made a wish, the Dragon Ball that landed on the Arc Reactor was probably heading far away like the other six, when it passed by Stark Industries and was attracted by the reactor.
”Well, since that's the case, should I make the next wish near the Arc Reactor Next Time? Perhaps all six Dragon Balls would end up landing here, and I wouldn't have to go searching for Dragon Balls again!”
Saint stopped talking to himself, and looked around and waited to confirm that no one detected the flying Dragon Ball, and then he turned around and flew back at a leisurely pace.
Nearly half an hour later, Saint returned to Hell's Kitchen, but not to his own restaurant; he sneaked into Colleen's Dojo instead!
A few seconds later, in Colleen's bedroom….
”Ahhh!” Startled, Colleen screamed, and then she realized it was Saint.
”You sly dog! How did you slip in here?”
”… You're coming at this time… Why are you asking about that?”
”I just though we could try some gravity-free love making.”
”Ah! You're going to die!”
”Have you learned it?”
”I'll never tell you!”
...
The next day, at eleven am, Saint was sitting his restaurant reading the newspaper at a table, looking pleasantly surprised…
”GOLDEN BOY?” He looked at the main headline on the newspaper, repeating the name: ”Golden Boy? It's not that bad; it's catchy. I think I like it!”
”This is not fair!” Lorna stepped forward and snatched away the newspaper from Saint's hands, saying angrily: ”Whenever someone gets some superpower, they get all sorts of praise, but when we become mutants, we can only hide in the streets with everyone harassing us and calling us freaks!”
