Operation: Capture the Hulk

Marvel, Tony Stark's mansion.

The mansion was as spacious and bright as ever. To welcome Li Hao and his group, Tony Stark even gave the servants a day off so that Li Hao wouldn't be seen.

Inside the living room.

With a flash of bright light, Li Hao and the others appeared in the living room.

Li Hao, dressed in white, looked exceptionally dashing.

Zhao Meili, dressed in a white embroidered cheongsam, looked youthful and beautiful.

Zixuan, dressed in traditional Miao ethnic clothing, exudes a unique charm.

Little Yan Lingji wore a gorgeous and alluring red short skirt, resembling a legendary little fairy.

Upon seeing Li Hao, Yan Lingji cheered and rushed towards him.

She clung to Li Hao like a koala, and said coquettishly, "Big Brother Group Leader, have you missed me?"

Li Hao patted Yan Lingji's head and laughed, "Aren't you ashamed with so many people watching?"

Little Yan Lingji stuck out her fragrant tongue.

They don't care at all.

Zhao Meili curiously examined Tony Stark's home's decor and various high-tech appliances, her delicate face filled with wonder. She lived in ancient times, where such novelties didn't exist.

Although Zhao Meili learned about the modern situation and technological advancements from the Chat Group, this was the first time she had ever seen the actual object.

Zixuan remained calm. After briefly surveying her surroundings, she stood quietly waiting for Li Hao's orders.

Tony Stark's face was full of happy smiles.

Tony Stark: "Haha, everyone, please have a seat. Don't hesitate to ask if you need anything."

Li Hao was the first to sit on the sofa with Little Yan Lingji in his arms, and asked, "What's the situation with the Hulk now?"

Tony Stark shook his head and said, "It's a bit troublesome. The information I received was from a few days ago. Recently, the Hulk has gone into hiding again, and even with Jarvis's abilities, he can't find any trace of the Hulk."

Tony Stark, his face filled with worry, whispered, "I suspect the Hulk might have absorbed other people and then hidden himself away as them."

Li Hao frowned slightly.

If that's the case, then that's troublesome.

Li Hao had only heard of the Blacklight Virus and didn't know much about it. He only knew that the Blacklight Virus could devour other organisms and then allow the host to evolve.

Li Hao: "What are your plans?"

Tony Stark: "We don't have a good plan yet. Unless they show up on their own, we can only wait for Jarvis's message. By the way, does the group admin know how to find the Hulk?"

Yan Lingji: "Hmph, how could such a small matter possibly stump the Big Brother Group Leader?"

But why are we in such a hurry to find that Hulk? Anyway, if the Hulk were to unleash his power, it would definitely cause quite a stir.

Since the Hulk wants to hide, let's just wait and see.

Zixuan: "If the Hulk goes out of control, the consequences will be enormous. Although this isn't our world, if the Hulk were to travel through time, it would be ordinary, innocent people who would suffer."

"If we can find the Hulk and subdue him as soon as possible, that would be a good deed."

Yan Lingji pouted.

She had absolutely no interest in Zixuan's explanation. Nobody seemed to think she should care about their lives or deaths.

Zhao Meili sat to the side, not daring to speak.

She knew that her only strength was being a cute little thing, and she had no say in matters of combat, so she obediently played the role of a mascot.

Li Hao remained silent, lost in thought.

Finding the Hulk is not difficult; Li Hao's mental power allows him to instantly perceive the Earth.

However, Li Hao had some doubts about whether to make a move now.

Because, according to his investigation, the Hulk was currently in New York.

If Li Hao were to make a move now, he could easily wipe out New York if he's not careful. The resulting destruction would far exceed the crisis caused by the Hulk's attack.

Another important issue is that Li Hao has not found any trace of the so-called mysterious man, the second Hulk.

He didn't know how the other party had done it, but Li Hao couldn't afford to be careless. Compared to the Hulk, the other Hulk was the key to this mission.

After a moment's thought, Li Hao simply expressed his concerns.

Li Hao: "The Hulk is in New York, but if I were to make a move..."

Upon hearing this, Tony Stark's face turned deathly pale.

Fuck, the group admin can definitely take care of the Hulk, but what if, what if there's even the slightest mishap? The whole United States might be doomed!

Tony Stark quickly said, "Group leader, don't worry. Since the Hulk is hiding, it means he has his concerns. In that case, why don't we lure the Hulk out of New York before we take action?"

Li Hao nodded slightly. "Alright, since you've asked, I have nothing more to say."

By the way, you might not even need to lift a finger; someone has already started taking action.

Tony Stark asked with suspicion, "Does the group leader mean that someone is already planning to make a move against the Hulk?"

Li Hao nodded slightly. "There are quite a few military personnel outside the Hulk's residence, probably General Ross and people from S.H.I.E.L.D.. It shouldn't be long before the Hulk is lured out of New York City, and that will be the perfect opportunity for us to make our move."

Tony Stark: "That's good. My new armor still needs time to prepare, so this is good news."

Li Hao raised an eyebrow slightly.

He had been curious about Tony Stark's armor for a long time, so how could he not be curious after hearing Tony Stark's words?

Li Hao asked, "A brand new battle armor?"

Tony Stark, talking about his proudest achievement, laughed and said, "I learned a lot about magic from the mages of the Azure Great World."

In particular, the magical technology that combines magic and alchemy is full of incredible mystery and enigma.

After integrating this knowledge using the Enlightenment function, I had an idea for the Magic Iron Man Armor."

Magical Iron Man Armor!

Li Hao's lips twitched slightly, a strange feeling creeping into his heart.

Is Tony Stark really on the path to becoming a Grand Magus?

But then again, should we start calling him Great Magic Dragon Knight Iron Man Tony Stark from now on?

Li Hao thought to himself, "Looking forward to your work."

At the same time, just as Li Hao arrived, the Hulk fell into a state of extreme agitation.

Bruce Banner braced himself on the table, glaring at the short, Asian man opposite him with a grim expression.

Bruce Banner roared through gritted teeth, "Koizumi Ichiro, what do you mean?"

Koizumi Ichiro remained calm, his voice unhurried. "I just want to stop you from going to your death."

Betty Ross is General Ross's daughter. Do you really believe the message they sent you? That Betty Ross has been corrupted by you and could become seriously ill and die at any moment?

Bruce Banner's face twitched.

He naturally wouldn't completely believe what the other person said, but whenever he thought of General Ross's cold appearance, Betty Ross's dangerous profession, and their secret relationship, Bruce Banner couldn't bring himself to disbelieve them.

Even though he knew it might be a trap, he was willing to take the risk for Betty Ross's sake.

After a brief silence, Bruce Banner said firmly, "For Betty Ross, I'll brave any danger, even mountains of knives and seas of fire."

Koizumi Ichiro narrowed his eyes, his heart filled with rage.

If Bruce Banner weren't still valuable, he wouldn't care about Bruce Banner's life or death.

Koizumi Ichiro, a time traveler.

As a traveler capable of traversing Heavens and Myriad Worlds, Koizumi Ichiro quickly devised a plan after discovering he had arrived in the Marvel World and recognized the familiar Hulk.

With his superb skills and familiarity with Bruce Banner, he quickly gained Bruce Banner's favor and took the opportunity to obtain Bruce Banner's genes.

It was because of Bruce Banner's genes that Koizumi Ichiro was able to successfully transform into the Hulk.

Although he successfully obtained the Hulk's power, he was still quite a bit weaker than Bruce Banner.

Especially in the subsequent fusion of the Blacklight Virus, Koizumi Ichiro almost completely failed and even nearly died, while Bruce Banner successfully fused the Blacklight Virus.

Koizumi Ichiro brought the Blacklight Virus Blacklight Virus from another world; how could he not know its effects?

Therefore, Koizumi Ichiro was secretly driven almost mad with jealousy over Bruce Banner's successful integration with the Blacklight Virus.

In order to obtain the Hulk's full power and the method to fuse with the Blacklight Virus, he had to hide his resentment towards Bruce Banner and continue to play the role of a good friend.

After a moment's thought and weighing the pros and cons, Koizumi Ichiro had no choice but to compromise with Bruce Banner.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I can go with you, but this time you have to listen to me."

Bruce Banner looked at Koizumi Ichiro with surprise, his expression a mixture of excitement, emotion, and reluctance.

Bruce Banner was well aware of the dangers of his mission.

He was unaware of Koizumi Ichiro's ambitions and motives, but genuinely considered him a good friend who had shared hardships. Now, hearing that Koizumi Ichiro was willing to risk his life for him, Bruce Banner's first thought was to stop him.

Bruce Banner: "This trip might be dangerous for me, and I don't want Koizumi to come with me."

Before Bruce Banner could finish speaking, Koizumi Ichiro glared angrily and shouted, "We're friends, best friends, and we're going to find our way back to normal together. How could you say something like that? It's an insult to our friendship, and a disgrace to me, Koizumi Ichiro!"

Upon seeing this, Bruce Banner quickly explained, "No, no, I absolutely didn't mean that, I just, I just..."

Bruce Banner, now sweating profusely, was at a loss for words and didn't know how to explain.

He wasn't a good talker to begin with, especially in this situation.

Koizumi Ichiro walked to Bruce Banner's side, grasped Bruce Banner's arms tightly, and said earnestly, "We are friends, true friends. Between friends, there's no need for many explanations."

Bruce Banner was deeply moved and felt even more ashamed.

Three days later, in the western desert of the United States.

After a long journey, Bruce Banner and Koizumi Ichiro finally arrived at the great desert in the western United States.

Hidden here is a United States. military base, and this is the very place the two men are headed for.

Meanwhile, just as Bruce Banner and Koizumi Ichiro arrived in the desert, many others also received the news.

No, it should be that everyone is waiting for them to arrive in the desert.

A spacecraft bearing the X-Men logo quietly departs, while S.H.I.E.L.D. agents lurk in the shadows.

An operation to capture Bruce Banner and his companion has officially begun.
