Kidnapping

"What else do you need?" Bai Jing asked, seeing Banner staring blankly at him. "Is there anything else you require?"

"This could be a great idea!" Banner scratched his head. "But I don't have a lab yet. Making a phone with nothing is too difficult for me!"

"Uh..." Bai Jing was speechless. "Well, we're just starting out. As for money, just wait a bit. Two or three days at most, and I promise to get it to you!"

It's just space magic, Bai Jing felt that with his talent, learning it in two days wouldn't be too much to ask!

Worst case scenario, he'd go sell Black Hole Metal.

Hmm, why did he suddenly think of that unlucky kid, the Fourth Kazekage!

"Also, I feel the Hulk energy inside me is still increasing. It should return to its original level in about three days, so are you..." Banner continued.

"Minor issue!" Bai Jing waved his hand gently. The gravity field, nearly two meters in radius, gave him considerable room to maneuver.

"Ah, it seems you've become much stronger!" Banner said, a little envious of Bai Jing's casual demeanor. Although he was a scientist, he wouldn't mind being a bit stronger physically.

But it's best to stay in human form. Turning green is a bit hard to accept.

"Alright, if that's all, I'm leaving!" Bai Jing waved his hand, turned, went downstairs, and walked out the door.

He hadn't walked fifty steps before he stopped.

Because he heard a car pull up below Banner's building.

It didn't stop on the main road but parked next door, deliberately avoiding Bai Jing's line of sight.

Then two people got out of the car, went upstairs, and found Banner.

"Dr. Keanu Reeves!" the person in the lead said. "We are from the FBI..."

"Ah, I'm so annoyed!" Bai Jing roared. "You come bother me for nothing, and when you can't beat me, you try to mess with my subordinates. Do I look like I'm easy to bully!"

The entire street instantly fell silent. People heading to work early glanced at the young man who seemed crushed by pressure, sighed inwardly, and continued with their own affairs.

The joys and sorrows of people are not the same. Most people can only worry about themselves!

Bai Jing, carrying White Queen and Black Emperor, flew directly to the second floor, kicked through the glass, and barged in.

The two FBI agents were still talking to Banner. Hearing the noise, they quickly turned their heads and saw a gun pointed at their mouths!

Bang! Bang!

"Uh..." Banner was startled and quickly said, "They don't seem to recognize me. They're looking for me for something else!"

"They're here for me!" Bai Jing asked, "Do you have a phone?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes." Banner pulled out a black and white Nokia and handed it to Bai Jing.

Bai Jing casually wiped the bloodstains off the ground and shouted, "Someone clean this up!"

Then he dialed a number.

Even though it was early in the morning, the call was answered instantly. "What is it, little brother? Free to discuss the art of makeup with me?"

"Get that Hard-boiled Egg on the phone!" Bai Jing said.

"Hard-boiled Egg?"

"Your bald director!"

Natasha's mind conjured an image of Hard-boiled Egg, and then she thought of her own director.

What a vivid comparison!

"But how do you know what our Hard-boiled Egg, I mean, Director looks like!" Natasha's voice became wary. "I definitely didn't tell you!"

"Stop the nonsense, I'm in a hurry. If you waste any more time, you'll only see me on the news, with all American media reporting!"

Natasha's smile vanished. In fact, they still didn't know what Bai Jing's abilities were, but without a doubt, he had the power to create a major incident!

This year was different from others. It was an election year. Although the current president had served two terms, they still wanted another candidate from the same party to take office.

Therefore, stability was paramount. If Bai Jing really caused a major incident, she, a defector from the Soviet Union, couldn't bear that responsibility.

"Please wait a moment!" Natasha said. After some maneuvering, less than 20 seconds later, Bai Jing heard a male voice on the other end of the line.

"I am Nick Fury!" Hard-boiled Egg said. "Mr. Bai, should I call you Bai Letian, or Bai Kunlun? Or are both names fake?"

"Names are just code words. If you want, you can call me Grandpa Bai!" Bai Jing said emotionlessly. "How long are you going to target me? Isn't the strength I've shown enough? Does the vast United States not have room for my desk?"

"We are not targeting you; it's other organizations in the country targeting you!" Nick Fury was unfazed by Bai Jing's aggressive language and immediately shifted the blame. "We've even invited you to join us. With your abilities, reaching Level Seven, Eight, or Nine would be trivial.

You know Natasha's past. With her background, she could become a Level Ten agent. I am African-American, and currently the director of the Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement, and Logistics Division. This proves that S.H.I.E.L.D. is not racist; it's entirely based on merit. The capable rise, the incompetent fall!"

"You're spouting nonsense!" Bai Jing retorted. "Your agency has the highest strategic position in the US. You know my strength and can easily order other organizations to stop targeting me. Yet so many different organizations are targeting me, and you tell me you're not? Do you think playing good cop and bad cop will work on me? Do you know where I came from? Do you think I'm some brain-dead kid who grew up with 'happy education' like you? Your political tactics are too naive for me!"

Nick Fury was silent for a moment. Firstly, his strategy had been exposed, leaving him unsure how to respond. Secondly!

He had never been cursed out over the phone before.

"Bai Letian, using murder to display power is not a way to seek peace; it's coercion!" Seeing that this person wasn't someone who could be easily fooled with a few words like before, Nick Fury's tone gradually turned grim.

"America does not accept coercion!"

"I've been so obvious, and you're only just realizing it's coercion?" Bai Jing chuckled. "I would have preferred to seek peace through peaceful means, but the Vibranium bullets pointed at my forehead say otherwise!"

"..." Nick Fury rubbed his forehead. Why didn't those bullets work?

"I'm telling you, Nig, you need to get all organizations to stop all actions against me immediately. Except for the police maintaining public order, all other forces need to get out of Hell's Kitchen, or I'm going to lose it!" Bai Jing turned his head. "The face of you Americans is less than 50 kilometers away from me!"

Nick Fury was stunned and shouted, "Map!"

The agent next to him, who wished to remain anonymous, quickly handed over the map.

"46th Street, 50 kilometers! F*ck!" Nick Fury looked at the Statue of Liberty in New York Bay, and his face immediately turned dark.

Oh, wait, his face was always dark.

"The last time America was slapped in the face was during 9/11. Although many people died at the World Trade Center, the status of the World Trade Center and the Statue of Liberty are completely different!"

In movies, the Statue of Liberty falling was just a movie, but in reality, if this thing were actually blown up, he, the director, would probably be done.

Before, their confrontations with Bai Jing were still in the underworld. Whether it was the assassination at Columbia University's library or the massacre of the Brotherhood in Lin's Precision, none of it actually made the news.

But if the Statue of Liberty fell, the whole world would probably mock them to death, not just today, but every year on this day they would be ridiculed!

Bai Jing was currently using the Statue of Liberty as a hostage to force Nick Fury to comply.

Bai Jing was different from ordinary terrorists. If an ordinary terrorist said they would blow up the Statue of Liberty, Nick Fury wouldn't take it seriously. After all, it was made of pure copper, very difficult to blow up, and guarded by security forces, with warships patrolling nearby.

But Bai Jing was a superpowered individual! His methods were unpredictable!

He couldn't do what the Russian army did and blow up the Statue of Liberty himself!

But just agreeing to it was impossible!

The Six-Nation Theory states: "If you cede five cities today and ten cities tomorrow, you can then have a night of peace. But when you look around your borders at dawn, the Qin army will be there again!"

If he used the Statue of Liberty to threaten them to withdraw today, would he make even more excessive demands tomorrow?

If they met his demands tomorrow, what about the day after?

And the day after that?

"Dealing with superpowered individuals like this when they commit crimes is truly a headache!" Nick Fury rubbed his forehead. The key was that ordinary superpowered individuals, limited by their knowledge and education, usually caused minor trouble that didn't affect the bigger picture.

But this one came from China...

Sigh!

It was precisely because they understood China too well that they desperately promoted the "China Threat Theory." Because China truly posed a threat, the more you understood it, the more terrifying it became!

"Should I organize some superpowered individuals to specifically target criminals like Bai Letian?" Nick Fury suddenly thought of a solution.

But this solution couldn't resolve the current predicament.

"I agree!" Nick Fury hesitated for a long time before finally nodding. "I will immediately notify other organizations to abandon their targeting of the Order Society. However, you must also promise that the Order Society will only expand within Hell's Kitchen and not cross the boundary. Otherwise, I will sacrifice the Statue of Liberty to take you down!"

"Deal!" Bai Jing chuckled and hung up the phone first.

Nick Fury's face darkened, and he instinctively reached for his intergalactic pager to summon backup.

But after a moment's hesitation, he decided against it.

The target was just a slightly smarter, slightly stronger Earthling. If he couldn't handle this, Captain Marvel would probably think he was an idiot.

"Keep a close eye on him with the Star Ring!" Nick Fury thought for a moment, then shouted, "I don't believe he won't be alone!"

Then I'll just use a nuclear bomb!
