Chapter 73: The Great Tony Stark
Seeing Saint shocked, Coulson broke the vow he had just made once again, and said with pride: ”May is very talented, and the director gave her access to our records on Kunlun. With that information, she began cultivating her Ki in just one day!”
Saint looked at Coulson with disdain: ”You know, I feel sorry for you, being a layman. You shouldn't talk about what you don't understand! What does this have to do with talent? She's been learning martial arts for years and years. With that, it's only logical that she could grasp the concept of Ki with MY help. I tell you what; I'm willing to bet that she's your only successful case! As large and mighty as SHIELD is, how good would it be to have only one 'talent'? So, am I right?”
”…”
Coulson was speechless again.
Seeing that he did not refute his supposition, Saint pointed to Melinda may, and said coldly: ”Coulson, you've asked me before to teach your agents. Now, I'll tell you plainly, for her, I can give some pointers!”
Melinda's eyes went bright, and her heart started thumping fast in excitement! But then, Saint's tone changed, and he added: ”Of course, it will not be for free.”
Coulson frowned slightly, and after exchanging looks with Melinda, she asked instead of him: ”Saint, can you tell me what you want?”
”I want a lot…” Saint shrugged: ”But you're not the one calling shots here. Instead of asking me, you'd be better off asking the one eyed man and see how much he's willing to pay for me to instruct agents of your bureau.”
”I understand.” Coulson nodded, putting the matter on hold for a while. Then, he turned around to Melinda May and said: ”May, we should leave.”
While she was reluctant to change to topic, Melinda was professional enough to know that duty was above all. She turned around and walked to the ċȯċkpit saying: ”In one minute, the cabin's door will close. We'll be taking off in three.”
Three minutes later, the left and right engines of the Quinjet blasted off blues flames simultaneously, creating a burst of wind around the jet. Then, the fighter started levitating like helicopter to the sky. After getting to a sufficient height, a pair of engines behind also released their flames, pushing the Quinjet forward heading into the clouds.
...
At the same time, in the southwestern part of Afghanistan, in a cave in the desert…
The playboy fanaticized about by thousands of women, the chairman and heir of Stark Industries, the talented scientist and engineer, and the great inventor and philanthropist did not lose his charm under the harsh conditions of captivity. The current kind of arm-trade in the Marvel World and future energy emperor, Tony Stark, was forging his own way to freedom.
