Hulk Runs Wild

When Xia Yu saw Loki, the guy had almost recovered and had used magic to restore his noble and elegant appearance, with his hairstyle perfectly styled.

Upon seeing Xia Yu arrive, a fleeting hint of panic and fear flashed in Loki's eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. He even instinctively straightened his posture, raising his chin slightly. Xia Yu clearly saw this childish action and felt immense admiration for Odin. What kind of family education could raise two brats over a thousand years old?

"Thor must have talked to you a lot about me. You should call me brother, right? Look, we're practically family now. Why can't we talk things out and resolve our issues? Fighting isn't good, especially among family members," Xia Yu said directly upon meeting.

Xia Yu's words only fueled Loki's rage, nearly causing him to explode on the spot. He even forgot his fear of Xia Yu and blurted out, "What are you talking about family with me now? Is a beating the first gift of family life? You were banging that damn hammer on my face like it was a block of iron! I'm not that stupid Thor, I don't acknowledge you as my brother!"

Loki touched his face, where Xia Yu had slapped him, as he spoke of his sore spot.

"He really is just a brat at heart." Xia Yu squinted at Loki's childish words and didn't say anything more.

Loki felt uneasy under Xia Yu's gaze, slammed his fist on the glass, and forced a fierce retort, "I am a god, I am the future king of Asgard, you are just a lowly mortal, I will not..."

Xia Yu interrupted Loki, took out Mjolnir, and said, "If you dare to say anything about gods or mortals again, I'll call Hulk out and we'll all beat you up."

Loki's eyelids twitched violently. He had heard about Hulk and had just heard about Xia Yu from Thor. Based on his own experience, he knew that Xia Yu was definitely not just talking.

But even now, he forced himself to remain calm and said, "Hulk, what's the name of that Beast? Aren't you afraid it will destroy this place if you release it?"

Xia Yu laughed, "We've already successfully communicated with Hulk. He may still be angry and irritable, but he's no longer out of control. Didn't Thor tell you that?"

Loki laughed too, "Really? You know the biggest difference between Beasts and humans is that even the most docile tamed Beast will occasionally unleash its animalistic instincts; it just lacks a little stimulation most of the time."

"If the stimulation you're referring to is that jewel-encrusted Scepter of yours, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed. We've sealed it with special materials to ensure that not a single bit of energy leaks out," Xia Yu said calmly.

Loki's expression changed drastically, but this time he fell silent, refusing to speak no matter how Xia Yu asked or threatened him.

Xia Yu sighed helplessly and said to Loki, "Do you know? You're just a child who failed to win favor, trying your best to prove your abilities to your father. Whether it's infiltrating Earth or colluding with the Chitauri to attack this place, these actions are just child's play in the eyes of your father and the person behind you. Even if you succeed, you're just a pawn on someone else's chessboard, yet you think you can control everything and become king. How laughable."

After Xia Yu finished speaking, he turned to leave, but before leaving, he turned back and said to Loki, "After this is over, I'm going to personally send you back to Asgard, and then I'll beat you up in front of your parents."

Loki could no longer contain himself and pounded on the glass, roaring at Xia Yu, "I cannot fail! I will rule the Nine Realms and am destined to become the King of Asgard!"

Xia Yu ignored him and turned to leave.

As Xia Yu walked toward Tony and Banner's makeshift studio, he mentally reviewed everything that had happened so far.

Hawkeye wasn't controlled, but Jane's father was taken away just like in the movie. Metal and the others have already obtained it, and it's practically a foregone conclusion that the Tesseract will open the portal. I never intended to stop that; the Avengers need a world-saving act to be exposed to the public.

With the Avengers formed ahead of Avengers and Loki having put away the Mind Stone Scepter again, even if Loki's forces outside launch another attack on the Helicarrier, their current strength won't cause major chaos, Loki probably won't have much of a chance to get out.

Of course, whether he goes out or not isn't that important. He can just fight monsters and gain reputation later. As for the fact that the Scepter can turn off the Tesseract, Dr. Selvig will bring it up eventually. It's just a matter of sooner or later, and it won't affect anything.

But Xia Yu felt something was off and was a little nervous.

'Bang!' Lost in thought, Xia Yu walked too fast and bumped into the automatic door at the studio entrance, Xia Yu was only halfway open.

Tony and Banner stared at Xia Yu in astonishment. How could he dodge bullets and end up crashing into a door?

"Xia, what are you thinking about? You actually bumped into the door. Are you having your period and your hormones are out of whack, affecting your brain?" Tony teased.

Xia Yu, unusually, didn't retort to Tony's teasing. "I always feel like something's not right, but I can't quite put my finger on it. I'm feeling a little uneasy."

"Did Loki say something that affected you?" Banner asked with concern.

Xia Yu frowned. "He didn't say anything, but I feel like I've overlooked something?"

Tony came over and patted Xia Yu on the shoulder, saying, "Don't think too much about it. We've already set up a tracking algorithm. Once the Tesseract starts moving, we'll be able to find its position immediately. Stop overthinking. Let's go out together and talk to everyone to see if we've missed anything. We're not needed here anymore."

Tony pulled Xia Yu along as they walked toward the bridge, with Banner following a few steps behind.

On the way, they encountered a bald special agent who greeted Tony and Xia Yu in a friendly manner. Xia Yu felt that the man looked familiar, but couldn't quite place where he had seen him before.

"Oh no!" Xia Yu suddenly remembered something he had forgotten. Hydra. Since Hawkeye wasn't being controlled, it was possible that a large number of Hydra agents were lurking within S.H.I.E.L.D.. If they had controlled a high-ranking Hydra member, Loki could potentially trace the trail back to several other Hydra and control them as well.

There might be Loki's pawns inside the Helicarrier, and Loki's mention of the stimulation of the Beasts doesn't necessarily refer to the Scepter.

Xia Yu turned around abruptly, only to see the bald agent splash a bottle of liquid on Banner's face and quickly begin to run away in the other direction.

"It's concentrated corticosteroids." Before Banner could even utter those words, the transformation process had already begun.

"Damn, it's a powerful stimulant that can excite the brain." Tony noticed Xia Yu's confusion and quickly explained the term Banner had used.

"Roar!~!" The Hulk emerged, but this time his eyes were blood red, unlike before.
