"Stop the ship ahead, stop and submit to inspection!" As he spoke, the cannon on the bow of the frigate was aimed at them.
Ryan stopped the boat in a hurry. Their tiny vessel would be gone with a single cannonball.
Bai Jing watched this scene and thought, Truly the navy of a capitalist country, mingling with the people!
My identity is clearly that of a weak civilian, not a pirate. Do they need to point a cannon at me!
"This cruiser is a Perry-class cruiser, the USS Gary. Construction began in December 1982, and it entered service in November 1983. It was named the Gary because it was sponsored by the widow of the late Lieutenant Colonel Gary, Dorothy Gary. I heard it went on a patrol in Asia before and docked in Cambodia. I didn't expect it to be back already!" Ryan said excitedly as he looked at the approaching warship.
Sensing Bai Jing's strange gaze, Ryan said sheepishly, "Hehe, I have my hobbies too!"
"Oh, oh..." Bai Jing nodded and looked at the ship, feeling that the name sounded somewhat familiar.
How could I, a person from China, be familiar with an American warship?
His mind was sharp now, with excellent memory. If he felt a sense of familiarity, it definitely wasn't an illusion, but he must have heard the name somewhere.
"Was it in the news?" He closed his eyes and recalled for a moment, then suddenly opened them, understanding the source of this familiarity.
It was news he saw in 2015: the US military sold four Perry-class frigates to Taiwan.
One of them was named the USS Gary.
Is this the one?
Compared to the frigate, which was over a hundred meters long and twenty to thirty meters high (specific data not found), the yacht, only 1.7 meters tall, was like a little brother to a big brother. The USS Gary lowered a rope ladder, and several soldiers armed with guns descended.
"Just you few?" The white officer with big eyes swept his gaze and noticed the voluptuous Denny.
If the boat only had Ryan, a Latino, and Bai Jing, an Asian, he might have searched them.
As for whether someone could hide the Hulk inside their body, perhaps the Hulk could shrink!
But there was also a white man on board, handsome and with an imposing demeanor (actually, he was just too nervous and had a stern face).
Based on his years of experience, this white man should be the owner of the yacht, the woman was a simple trophy girlfriend, and the Latino was probably a butler or something.
Finally, this Asian, tall and thin, with a scholarly look, seemed like an accountant, or perhaps a communications expert, a computer genius.
Or maybe he was someone who usually didn't speak, but could take him down in an instant when he acted, then help him up, and ask: "What did you learn from this incident today?"
"We're searching for someone, please cooperate!" he said, pulling out a photo from his pocket and handing it to the four of them: "Have you seen him?"
Bai Jing took the photo and saw it was Bruce Banner, who used to have long hair and a scruffy beard!
He then shook his head decisively: "Haven't seen him!"
"What about you guys!" the officer asked Ryan Daling and Denny Roberts again.
Bai Jing looked at them too. He knew these two were only obeying him due to his strength, with no loyalty whatsoever. Now with the US military backing them, would they sell him out?
Ryan Daling looked at the photo, then shook his head decisively, and handed the photo to Denny.
"Haven't seen him!" Denny also shook her head and passed it to Bruce Banner, who was sitting in the innermost seat.
Banner dared not speak, and didn't know if the military had his voiceprints. He just shook his head.
"So aloof..." the officer pouted, then glanced at the voluptuous woman beside him, filled with envy. The lives of rich people are truly decadent!
Forget it, I'll find some female soldiers to vent later! (Note 1)
"Don't play too late in the bay at night, it's very dangerous!" the officer pouted and beckoned, "Let's go back!"
Several soldiers cleared the way, letting the leader go first.
Then they followed.
Bai Jing watched as the last soldier climbed the rope ladder, then leaned forward, getting close to the warship. He reached out and grabbed it, and the thick deck of the warship instantly became much thinner!
The retired US destroyers sold to Taiwan didn't really have much impact on China; they could still be crushed.
America was purely trying to provoke them and make some money.
And Bai Jing couldn't directly use a Gravity Talisman to blow them up. What he should do was protect himself while making the greatest contribution!
So he could only take some steel while he was at it, to annoy the US military as well.
Ryan and Denny didn't know what Bai Jing had done, but Banner had a vague guess, yet he didn't say anything.
He didn't have a good impression of the US military.
Bai Jing looked at Ryan and Denny and said softly, "Let's go!"
He didn't say anything more, but his evaluation of the two had increased significantly due to their performance just now.
Of course, it was also possible that they were infiltrators, and their loyal performance was just for greater gain. But if that were the case, they would be even more worthy of being reused.
After all, if even a small gang like the Gray Squirrel Gang was willing to send people to infiltrate, then in this world, only S.H.I.E.L.D. or Hydra could do it.
These two organizations were quite useful!
The rest of the journey was uneventful.
The yacht entered New York Bay, sailed upstream along the Hudson River, and finally docked at a pier outside the Order Society.
At this point, Banner finally realized that this seemed to be Hell's Kitchen?
"You guys are a gang?" Banner asked in surprise.
Hell's Kitchen is known everywhere, even a shut-in like Banner knows its reputation.
"It used to be, but not anymore!" Bai Jing chuckled, "Come on up and chat!"
Banner came ashore, still skeptical, and then heard Bai Jing say, "The Order Society's dream is to bring order to the chaotic Hell's Kitchen!"
"This..." Banner blinked, "That must be very difficult!"
"It's alright, we started with only two blocks and a hundred people, now we have six blocks and nearly three hundred people!" Bai Jing laughed, "As long as the majority of people desire order, our Order Society will surely succeed!"
Banner nodded, understanding but not fully grasping. He wasn't very knowledgeable about philosophy or politics, but Bai Jing's ideals didn't seem problematic.
Was there anything wrong with pursuing order?
Apparently not!
Then the Order Society was clearly a righteous organization!
Banner felt no psychological pressure.
He had already prepared himself to join the Order Society, even if it was a gang, he would have accepted it, as he had no other choice.
Now, it seemed much better than he had imagined!
On the second floor, the former bar was no longer in business. Matt planned to combine this bar with the two from the Viper Gang and create a large nightclub.
Banner looked around curiously. He had been an excellent student since childhood, stayed on to teach after graduation, and was then invited by the military to join a laboratory. He had never been to a bar like this before; this was his first time!
"What, do you like it here?" Bai Jing asked.
"Uh, no, no!" Banner quickly shook his head. An honest person like him couldn't accept it.
Bai Jing nodded. He couldn't accept it either, nor could Matt. Neither of them liked to hang out at such nightclubs.
On the third floor was the SpongeBob Hall. This hall didn't actually have a name; it was just because Bront had watched SpongeBob there once.
In the hall, Matt stood solemnly by the sofa, leaning on his cane. He had heard Bai Jing's footsteps and stood up in advance.
"Matt, I'd like to introduce you to Keanu Reeves, a famous physicist! I'm planning to invite him to be our science advisor!" Bai Jing introduced.
"Uh..." Banner was a little curious. Hadn't they already passed the US military's scrutiny? Why was he still called Keanu Reeves?
But since it was Bai Jing's arrangement, Bruce Banner still complied: "Hello!"
He extended his hand, and Matt extended his hand as well. The two shook hands, and the atmosphere was quite pleasant for a first meeting.
Matt thought for a moment, he didn't recall any scientist named Keanu Reeves!
However, most people in the scientific community weren't very famous. If not deliberately publicized, even Nobel laureates would be unknown to most people, and they wouldn't recognize them even if they saw them.
But Bai Jing was a smart person, and anyone he recognized should have a certain level of competence.
"Matt is blind. His eyes were damaged by radiation when he was young, so he can't see anything!" Bai Jing introduced to Banner, then said to Matt, "Keanu Reeves is also a biologist and a high-energy physicist. Perhaps he can do something about your eyes!"
"Huh?" Bruce Banner looked at Matt in surprise. When they shook hands just now, he had grasped his hand very accurately. It was impossible to tell he was blind!
But looking at Matt's eyes again, under the light, Matt's eyes were like a pair of dull, lusterless gray ambers!
He really is blind!
And his eyes were damaged by radiation! (Note 2)
Banner, who had also been damaged by radiation, looked at Matt with much more warmth.
"I've seen many doctors, but there's been no result. After all these years, I've gotten used to it!" Matt shook his head and directly explained the condition of his eyes.
Perhaps this Keanu Reeves was very skilled, but the possibility of curing his eyes was still very low. With this preface, he wouldn't hurt the feelings of this new colleague.
"I'll try my best!" Banner became serious. After all, joining a new team and not showing off one's abilities could lead to being looked down upon!
He had studied a lot of medical knowledge to treat his own problems.
As the saying goes, a long illness makes a good doctor. Although he hadn't received specialized education, with his talent, even casual learning would put him at the top level of the industry.
Bai Jing had great confidence in him. Treating eyes couldn't possibly be harder than a time machine!
"Shall we stop here for today? Denny, arrange accommodation for Dr. Keanu Reeves!" Bai Jing called out.
"Okay!" Denny said, "Dr. Keanu Reeves, please follow me!"
She winked as she spoke.
She was a beauty who made Banner's heart race even when Bai Jing turned off his super vision. How could an honest man like Banner handle this? He immediately blushed and then lowered his head to follow her.
"Is there anything else?" Bai Jing looked at Matt Murdock.
Except for their eyes, both of them possessed super smell, sight, hearing, and touch. Therefore, they could communicate through extremely subtle means without anyone around noticing.
Of course, this was limited to simple communication; complex matters still required speaking.
"I contacted Frank and told him about our ideals. He'll be here tomorrow!" Matt Murdock said.
Bai Jing thought for a moment about who Frank was. Oh, that man!
Extremely upright, showing no mercy to evil, my Fleet Admiral Akainu!
The Punisher, too!
Is he also joining the Order Society?
What is this, all the heroes of the world are entering my ranks?
