Parking lot.
Chen Xi gallantly opened the car door for her. Jean Grey softly thanked him, then swayed her graceful body as she settled into the passenger seat.
It was nearly eleven o'clock, yet New York's streets were still bustling and dazzling, with cars flowing back and forth.
In this nation of automobiles, cars truly were extremely important companions to every family.
Having harvested the wealth of the entire world, gasoline here was so cheap that it cost less than bottled water. It was simply unimaginable.
Night belonged to high-horsepower cars. Street racers were everywhere, revving their engines as they pleased, and young punks were naturally everywhere too.
As the night breeze brushed across her face, it blew away some of her drunkenness and some of her troubles.
Jean Grey enjoyed this peace and quiet. Looking at Chen Xi's perfect profile beside her and his focused expression, a trace of daze and reluctance suddenly crossed her heart.
It wouldn't be so bad to marry an ordinary man like this and spend the rest of my life with him, taking care of my husband and raising children in harmony.
"Drive slower..."
Jean Grey suddenly said softly.
She was afraid this short journey would reach its end too quickly~
"Okay."
Chen Xi merely answered with a single word, then tapped the screen and let a song play quietly through the car.
Let youth stir your long hair, let it lead your dreams.
Unknowingly, the history of this mortal world had recorded your smile.
A red heart and a blue sky were the beginning of a life.
The sleepless spring rain, the days when you once slept alone.
She did not say it, but he understood. Their tacit understanding slowly formed within their silence, and neither of them spoke.
Just as they were beginning to enjoy this growing understanding, there always had to be an unwelcome guest to disturb such beauty.
As they left the city and entered the outskirts near Westchester, a red figure descended from the sky. With a thunderous crash, it smashed down in front of them and blocked their path.
The entire road was instantly blasted into a huge crater. The surrounding vehicles hurriedly slammed on their brakes, but it was already too late...
Rear-end collisions were only minor accidents. Once they saw the hulking figure before them, however, the drivers fled in terror.
What mattered more, the cars or their lives? Was that even a question?
Red Hulk ignored the ordinary people fleeing in panic and instead slowly walked toward Chen Xi with a sinister grin.
"Looks like he came for you."
Jean Grey teased with a smile. She was not worried in the slightest; instead, she seemed rather interested.
Ever since she discovered that she could not invade Chen Xi's mind, she had become intensely curious about this mysterious man. Now that an abnormal monster with seemingly considerable strength had appeared, it was the perfect chance to see just how capable he was.
"Heh, fame really does bring trouble."
Chen Xi immediately laughed at himself, then slowly opened the car door and stepped out...
Before Jean Grey's astonished eyes, black matter slowly covered his body. After five steps, a battle suit filled with mysterious allure appeared before her!
"Cool!!"
Under the faint moonlight.
Jean Grey covered her little mouth in excitement. This transformation was simply unbelievably cool! Her eyes sparkled with stars. This man truly never stopped surprising her!
"Ross, oh Ross, you really did not disappoint me. You actually transformed into Red Hulk!"
Watching Red Hulk swagger forward, Chen Xi's lips curled into a satisfied smile.
The seed he had planted yesterday had finally blossomed and borne fruit.
He just wondered how many Justice Points this fellow would give him.
"System, how many Justice Points will I get for killing him?"
Chen Xi stared excitedly at Red Hulk. All he saw was a big fish rushing toward him.
"Red Hulk's current strength far surpasses those two monsters, Hulk and Abomination, so the Justice Points will be substantial. Moreover, this fellow has just slaughtered an entire base. Killing him alone will earn you eighty thousand Justice Points."
"Hahaha, excellent! This guy really did not disappoint me. What a valuable tool!"
Hearing the system's words, Chen Xi grew excited. His eyes gleamed as he stared at Red Hulk, then he charged forward at high speed.
Boom!!!
Their wildly disproportionate fists collided fiercely, and their overwhelming strength erupted outward like two trains crashing into each other!
In an instant, the cars around them were flipped over by the shockwave of their clash, while Chen Xi and Red Hulk appeared evenly matched.
"So it really was you!!"
After the probing attack, Red Hulk staggered back several steps. He fixed Chen Xi with a deadly stare and spoke solemnly.
He had only barely managed to confirm it by comparing body shapes and investigating the nearby residents one by one.
Even then, he had not been completely certain. But with the mindset of killing by mistake rather than letting anyone go, he had come anyway.
"Likewise."
Chen Xi did not deny it. He remained as calm as ever. Why should he bother arguing with a dead man?
"Hmph, you are arrogant. But today, I'll make you pay for that arrogance!"
Red Hulk threatened coldly. He was deeply annoyed by Chen Xi's fearless attitude.
Boom!!
The moment he finished speaking, Red Hulk violently pushed off the ground, using its force to leap high into the air and smash a fist down at Chen Xi.
"Good!"
Chen Xi erupted with fierce fighting spirit and charged forward. At that moment, his desire to fight surged to unprecedented heights.
Although Ross had lived in comfort for a long time, his combat instincts had never faded. They had merely been hidden away.
Now that he had transformed into a red giant, it was as though he had returned to his prime.
He roared and attempted to crush Chen Xi's head with a double-fisted strike. Yet rather than retreating, Chen Xi advanced, charging straight at him with a howl!
When they were less than two meters apart, Chen Xi rapidly kicked off the ground with both legs and leaned forward, dodging the incoming fist. At the same time, he drove his right elbow viciously into Red Hulk's nose bridge.
Crack!!
How could a fragile nose bridge withstand the force of a thousand tons?
"Ah!!"
Red Hulk screamed as he was sent flying backward. He crashed heavily onto the ground, clutching his nose bridge in agony and roaring...
He had not expected Chen Xi to be so fast, nor so underhanded. He had actually ignored martial ethics and used an elbow strike against his nose bridge.
At that moment, Chen Xi burst forward in an explosive dash. While Red Hulk was in so much pain that he could not even open his eyes, Chen Xi descended from above and drove his knee brutally into Red Hulk's ribs.
"I'll smash your lungs!!"
Chen Xi shouted. Several cracking sounds rang out as nearly all of Red Hulk's ribs shattered under the blow...
Pfft!!
Red Hulk's eyes instantly widened in agony. Blood from his chest cavity and heart sprayed from his mouth as if it cost nothing, and even fragments of his heart were coughed out...
In just a few seconds, he had suffered grievous injuries. Even with Red Hulk's powerful regenerative ability, he could not recover instantly.
Strike while he was down and take his life!
Before he could heal his wounds, Chen Xi grabbed Red Hulk and hurled him high into the air. Then, with a violent kick, he shot above him and unleashed five consecutive whip kicks!
Boom!!
Unable to fight back at all, Red Hulk was kicked straight into the ground by Chen Xi, vomiting continuously. When the dust settled, Red Hulk's face was covered in blood, and he was clearly on the verge of death.
"...You... Pfft..."
Red Hulk struggled to say something, but he could only gurgle blood out of his mouth. He could not utter a complete sentence.
Despite how miserable he looked now, Chen Xi knew that if he were given less than ten seconds, he would definitely revive on the spot.
Therefore, to eliminate future trouble completely, only severing his head could kill him for good. Thus, before Red Hulk's terrified, pleading eyes, Chen Xi's right hand suddenly transformed into a massive battle axe and swung down at him viciously!!
"Congratulations, Host, for completing the mission to slay Red Hulk. You have received eighty thousand Justice Points."
