Chapter 72: The Quinjet

Matt Murdoch nighttime persona was certainly different from that of the other less experienced heroes. Not only did he have an extremely rich combat experience, but he also had formal training and had the perk of being a natural bio-radar. This made him a tactical master who is incomparable to the other three. But besides his super-senses, he did not have much power level at all, with 10 of points his power ȧssigned to his defense, and another ten ȧssigned to his attack power…

The one with most balanced defense and attack power was Jessica. She had a power level of over 100, and was agile enough to avoid being hit. However, this ”civilian” had not received any systematic training. Being too reliant on her brute force, she should actually be the easiest for Saint to take down among all four Defenders.

Who else?!

”For now, I'm actually invincible! I never thought it would feel so… lonely!”

In this abyss of self-indulgence, Saint became forgetful, completely missing the fact that not too far from him, there was Kamar-Taj's New York Sanctum. There, he would have worthy competition, if he's willing to risk his life…

Anyway, in the past two weeks, besides the trivialities mentioned above, two major events took place outside Saint's restaurant.

The first was SHIELD's second attack on the Hand. While they did not manage to take down any of the five fingers, they did manage to hit the organization hard. The operation went so well that they managed to destroy whatever was to be called the Hand army. As for Chaste, they did not suffer as many losses, even though they were existant mainly in name after the last time's fight. Now, the Hand was to probably need at least a decade to get back to their old level of power.

SHIELD however were not done. Within the two weeks, they hit around 90% of Hand's various small and large bases, including the ”charity” that Colleen used to be involved with. Most of the Hand's members caught were incarcerated, while the few minors that were recruited by the organization were sent for reform in child detention centers.

With this happening, what was aching Colleen was mostly solved very quickly. Still, until she could kill Bakuto, her demons would still hunt her.

The second thing that happened was that after saving many people from SHIELD's bullets and the Hand's blades, Saint's reputation soared among the public.

Well, it wasn't exactly Saint who got famous; it was the newborn superhero: Golden Boy!

Fourteen days of the news about him ”fermenting” in New York and across the country were enough to spread this image of the spiky blond hair superhero. This image of his was actually a reason for his increasing popularity!
