Skye possesses the power of vibration, which is now highly developed.

She could hear Shazo speaking clearly throughout the entire villa, so she naturally understood the contents of the phone call as well.

Skye remained silent before hanging up the phone, showing Shazo the utmost respect.

But after Shazo hung up the phone, she could no longer contain her worry and asked, "Boss, are you really going to fight this green monster?"

While watching TV, she was indifferent to the situation and naturally found the more ferocious the Hulk, the more interesting it was.

But when her boss was about to go up and fight, Skye suddenly felt terrified of the Hulk, and she was so worried that tears were about to fall.

"That monster is so powerful, boss, you'll die."

Shazo lightly flicked Skye on the forehead and said with a smile, "What nonsense are you thinking? What's a mere green Hulk?"

"Skye, you have way too little faith in your boss."

After years of observation, using the Police Department's information system, he confirmed that the Marvel World he was in was the main Marvel Cinematic Universe, which is primarily based on movies.

Shazo's audacity grew instantly, becoming incredibly large.

In this Universe, almost all characters have been weakened, with Hulk and the Ancient One even suffering epic-level weakening.

In the comics, the Hulk can tear planets apart in his rage; his power has no upper limit, making him a truly terrifying being who has the potential to prove himself through strength.

In contrast, the Hulk in the main cinematic Universe can be rendered helpless by a set of Military Combat Boxing.

In the comics, the Ancient One was able to rival the Gods, and for hundreds of years she had deterred countless demons from venturing to Earth. Even Odin, the Lord of the Nine Realms, dared not set foot on Earth lightly.

The monk in the movie, however... it's hard to say.

The affairs of monks are always strange and peculiar, and the minds of monks are exceptionally complex.

No one can say for sure whether the Ancient One was tired and fed up, and seeing that she had a successor, she couldn't wait to use a traitor to free herself and slip away to some big shot to enjoy a "retirement" life.

Therefore, although the Ancient One's gender has changed, Shazo dares not draw a conclusion as to whether her strength is greater or less.

However, Hulk's weakening is very clear, because his ceiling is obvious, and he can't even reach the Sage of Six Paths Level in the Naruto World, so he poses no threat to Shazo now.

If the benefits are compelling enough, Shazo certainly wouldn't mind making the trip.

But the Vampires were far more patient Shazo had imagined. Even after Hulk demolished a quarter of Wall Street, the Judas still refused to give in.

Perhaps they didn't believe in Shazo's power and thought it wasn't worth paying such a high price.

But the most crucial issue is that Hulk hasn't reached his most critical point yet, and the Vampires still have enough patience to back down.

Shazo calmed his daughter down and continued watching Hulk's spectacular building-demolition show with her on the news channel.

Suddenly, the scene in the news changed; rows of Tank appeared on the ground, and armed helicopters flew overhead.

Logically, the news should have been cut off at this point, but the New York news that Shazo was watching belonged to an independent television station, which was part of the Cool Media Group, and the person behind Cool Media Group was Rockefeller.

Therefore, the news will not be cut off. In fact, to prevent armed helicopters from taking advantage of the chaos to shoot down the news helicopters, five additional news helicopters were added to broadcast simultaneously from multiple angles.

Soon, the scene of the Bear Child dismantling toys transformed into a battle between US Military and green monsters.

Tank guns roared, Rocket flew through the air, and the unidentified US Military, unusually brave, charged forward relentlessly despite casualties, using concentrated firepower to force Hulk back.

When the battlefield shifted to the other side of Wall Street and the iconic Charging Bull statue appeared, the morale of these US Military suddenly collapsed.

Instead of pressing their advantage, they even considered retreating.

It was as if their mission was already complete.

A glint of light flashed in Shazo's eyes. "Skye, help me find out which companies are located near where Hulk was attacked."

"By the way, the list is arranged according to asset size."

Skye compiled the entire list in just two minutes.

Shazo looked around several times but didn't find anything suspicious.

He wasn't a professional in the financial industry and had no idea about these companies with such long names; he didn't even know who they belonged to.

Just as Shazo was about to give up, a flash of inspiration struck him, and he made a new request. "Skye, search again to find out which companies these buildings used to belong to."

"Yes, only the next two or three days' worth will be fine."

Skye immediately began working on it and quickly produced a new list.

Shazo only glanced at it, but when he saw that the company currently ranked first was Lehman Brothers, he knew something was wrong.

He chuckled and said, "Finally, we've found their weakness. So that's where it is."

"It seems that this behemoth didn't truly collapse after its fall last year, or perhaps it left behind something that wasn't properly dealt with, and that something could influence the power struggle between the two major corporations."

If Shazo was able to discover the key to the problem through his foresight, Rockefeller and his team would certainly be able to do so with ample intelligence and analysis from their think tank; they would simply need more time to speculate and eliminate incorrect options.

These guys have plenty of manpower and intelligence at home; it won't take them long to eliminate the errors.

Without further hesitation, Shazo stood up and walked to the laboratory inside the villa. He took out his special Battle Suit, did a quick check to confirm that there were no problems, and then carried Shazo heavy Battle Suit to the lounge.

The lining of this outfit is made of Kevlar fiber, while the outer layer is a full-body soft armor woven from steel wire, paired with Chinese-style mountain-patterned armor plates, making it look so cool.

Shazo's greatest skill is [Magnetic Control], and this three-layered metal armor will allow him to unleash maximum defensive power and super offensive power.

Actually, he really wanted to get a Mark suit. Not only would it look incredibly cool, but he wouldn't have to control the flight himself, making travel much easier.

Unfortunately, Tony Stark was stubborn and preferred to argue with senators in Congress rather than give up a single suit.

Even though Shazo personally removed the shrapnel around his heart and saved Tony's life, it couldn't change his mind.

Just as I was thinking of Iron Man, a shooting star appeared on the TV screen.

Iron Man Tony Stark, has appeared.

Despite Nick Fury's best efforts to block the news, he ultimately couldn't stop its spread, and JARVIS discovered it and handed it over to Tony.

Nick Fury yelled, "Damn it, why couldn't you wait a minute? Do you think you can save the world all by yourself?"

"Quickly, notify the captain and ask him to go rescue Stark!"

The Mark 6 suit is not particularly powerful in combat, especially since it lacks the iconic Tri-Energy Arc Reactor, which leads to numerous compromises in its functionality.

Without the deadly threat, Tony Stark naturally felt no anxiety about being chased by death, and therefore had no motivation to pursue a more powerful energy supply.

Shazo remarked on the old saying, "Born in hardship, die in comfort," and then, in a fitting moment, taught Skye the profound meaning of this saying.

He would seize every opportunity to instill Huaxia culture in the girl and try to align her values with his own.

Tony's suit may be a bit underpowered, but the weapons it's equipped with are far from lacking in power.

As a top representative of arms dealers, Tony Stark's skill in designing and manufacturing weapons far surpasses his skill in manufacturing combat suits.

But whether it was the Repulsor or the nine small incendiary bullets on his wrist joint, they could only leave a smoky black mark on Hulk's body, and could not penetrate his defenses at all.

This made Tony lose face. "Damn it, JARVIS, which lab created this bio-monster? How can it withstand firearms with its bare flesh and blood?"

"Damn it, wasn't it said that no carbon-based life form could withstand 7.62? Just how tough is this guy's skin?"

JARVIS quickly provided the answer, "Based on the information we have so far, this green monster was caused by a military experiment accident."

"His real name is Bruce Banner, and he is an accomplished Physics with numerous doctoral titles and academic degrees."

Tony Stark complained, "Oh well, it's embarrassing that my meticulously crafted suit is inferior to the accidental product of a failed experiment."

An enraged Stark lost his composure and, without thinking, failed to dodge in time, allowing Hulk, who had climbed the building, to pounce on him and slam him to the ground.

Once he was engaged in hand-to-hand combat, Stark instantly felt the threat of death; this was the first time he had ever felt this way inside the Iron Man Armor.

In front of the green-skinned Hulk, the seemingly indestructible Iron Man Armor was deformed by a single punch, and Hulk's furious tearing out several pieces of armor plates was even more brutal.

In just a few seconds, the Mark 6 Iron Man Armor was completely damaged, losing about 60% of its functionality, including its life support system.

Even more terrifying, Stark's visor was ripped off, and he and Hulk faced each other face to face. The Hulk's heavy breathing even distorted Hulk's face.

Tony Stark stared blankly, feeling like a pathetic creature pinned to the ground by a polar bear, about to be torn apart and devoured alive.

If before he only felt the threat of death, now he felt the death actually coming.

Especially when Hulk curiously extended his right index finger and poked Stark's face, Death God's Scythe was already pressed against his throat.

Stark instantly entered a deathbed replay mode, remembering his father, his mother, the missing Obadiah Stane, and Olsen who sacrificed himself to buy him time.

But in the end, his mind was occupied by a beautiful figure. Pepper Potts ' appearance was so clear that he could remember even a single strand of her golden hair.

At that critical moment when life and death hung in the balance, a shield flew over and slammed into Hulk's nose, causing him to close his eyes and stagger backward, even falling hard on his butt.

Steve Rogers, who rushed to the rescue, didn't bother to retrieve his shield. He dragged the heavy Tony Stark into the shadows of the building before hoisting him onto his shoulder and quickly leaving the battlefield.

Tony Stark survived a near-death experience and was almost moved to tears, but for some reason, he just couldn't bring himself to say anything nice to Captain Steve.

He complained like a Huahua, "Hey, Captain, can you please not carry me like this when you come to rescue me?"

"My stomach is so sore from your shoulder pressing against it, and I'm so dizzy from all the bouncing. I... I feel like throwing up!"

Steve: "Shut up! You bastard, wearing your toy, you weigh a whopping 400 kilograms! I can barely carry you!"

Stark: "Oh, okay, my bad, I'm too heavy. Maybe I should lose weight."

Steve: "What you need most isn't losing weight, it's following orders!"

"Nick Fury kept telling you not to face the Hulk alone, why didn't you listen?"

Stark: "Ha, so the green-skinned monster is called the Hulk, that's great!"

"Alright, Captain, I admit I was wrong. It was my fault for rushing into battle without having gathered sufficient intelligence, but it's not my fault."

Who would have thought that there would be carbon-based life forms in this world that are immune to thermal weapons?

"Oh right, his name is Hulk, right? Okay, I've got that name. I'll go back and develop the perfect suit for Hulk."

"I will design a true behemoth. I will use enough steel to build an indestructible mobile fortress, and I will smash this green behemoth to pieces!"

Steve: "Shut up!"

After Captain Rogers led Stark away from the battlefield, he did not return immediately.

He possesses unwavering fighting spirit and rich combat experience, enabling him to quickly assess the battlefield situation and devise different tactics based on specific circumstances.

The brief encounter had convinced the captain that this green hunk was extremely difficult to deal with, and he wasn't going to be as foolish as Stark and rush in to his death.

After successfully rescuing Stark, Captain Rogers took him to S.H.I.E.L.D..'s New York headquarters.

He needs more accurate intelligence before a battle to formulate an effective battle plan.

After Captain America rescued Iron Man, Hulk, writhing in pain from his nose, was furious but couldn't find the enemy who had hit him. So he vented his anger on the mysterious soldiers who hadn't yet retreated.

As a result, tank after Tank was overturned or dismantled, and countless unfortunate Bad Luck became minced meat in tin cans.

Perhaps because they had already completed their mission, these soldiers of unknown origin lost all will to fight, their morale collapsed instantly, and they abandoned their Tank and fled.

As for the helicopters in the sky, they had already retreated long ago.

After the soldiers retreated and the Tank were smashed one by one, Hulk had no one to vent his anger on, but his rage had not yet subsided.

Hulk began to demolish the building frantically. The Wall Street elites hiding in the upper floors felt the building tremble. They could no longer control their emotions and opened their windows, shouting for help.
