Banner, You Wouldn't Want Betty to Get Hurt, Would You?

Chen Xi had not received a system notification that the mission was complete, which meant Hulk had not been dealt with yet. He turned and looked at Hulk from afar. Was this guy actually trying to run away?

"Hey! Hulk, what do you think of Betty? Don't you care about her life anymore?" Chen Xi shouted at him.

Hulk froze just as he turned around. Clearly, he did not care whether Betty lived or died, but Banner had no choice but to care.

They were originally one entity. At that moment, Banner was already arguing with Hulk. How could he possibly ignore Betty?

"Hulk hates threats!!"

Sure enough, Hulk roared and charged toward Chen Xi with a deeply unwilling expression. He knew there was no way to avoid a fight.

"Hahaha, Betty, congratulations on surviving. Hey~ They're pretty big, huh? Hahaha."

Chen Xi looked at Betty teasingly, then withdrew his mischievous, kneading hand with a look of pure enjoyment.

Betty glared viciously at Chen Xi, humiliated and furious. Although she hated him to death, her trembling body was being far too honest...

She truly did not want this at all, but she was not young anymore.

Whenever Banner got emotional, he turned into Hulk. She had endured it for years, to the point she had nearly burned to death inside.

Boom!!

Banner, hidden within the dark recesses of his mind, was boiling with rage. He wanted nothing more than to tear the masked man before him to pieces!

As for Hulk, the angrier he became, the stronger he grew. For instance, Banner's fury caused Hulk's strength to surge instantly.

Chen Xi did not dodge the overwhelming, ferocious attack.

Charge! Collision! Explosion!

Boom!!

A thunderous crash rang out. A violent blast wave erupted from the point where the two collided, sending even Betty and Ross, who were a hundred meters away, flying.

Crack... rumble!!

The storefronts around them suffered as well. Every pane of glass within a hundred meters shattered instantly, becoming fragments that filled the sky...

When the dust finally settled, two wildly disproportionate figures appeared before everyone once again. Beneath their feet stretched cracks dozens of meters long, while a section of the ground had caved in completely!

Chen Xi looked rather miserable. His clothes were even more tattered than a beggar's rags, hanging off him like strips of cloth.

He glanced at Hulk's divine oversized shorts with envy, jealousy, and resentment. Those were truly a Marvel artifact.

"Looks like I need a suit like that too?"

Chen Xi muttered to himself. The Bio-electric Field was too weak; it simply could not protect his clothes through an impact that intense.

An enraged Hulk was indeed ridiculously powerful...

Then again, this guy had nearly forced his way into another man's woman just moments ago. No wonder Banner practically wanted to die with him.

After feeling the strength of an enraged Hulk, Chen Xi had a clearer estimate. His own strength was around a thousand tons, while Hulk in his normal state had roughly four hundred tons of strength. Clearly, this universe's Hulk was not some absurd protagonist-version Hulk.

"Roar!!"

At that moment, Hulk suddenly reached for Chen Xi, intending to slam him around the way he had slammed Loki...

"Petty trick!"

How could Chen Xi not understand Hulk? This guy could not even properly use military combat techniques; he relied entirely on his natural talent.

Facing such an undisguised attack, Chen Xi immediately sidestepped to the right. At the same time, he used his left arm to parry Hulk's left arm as it reached for him, directly defusing Hulk's attempt to grab him.

But Chen Xi had inherited Emil Blonsky's lifetime of combat abilities. How could he not have some fun with Hulk?

Chen Xi abruptly twisted his left hand outward. Taking advantage of Hulk's failed grab and unstable footing, he smoothly seized Hulk's left wrist.

Bang!!

The next second, Hulk felt an immense force pulling him uncontrollably toward Chen Xi. He wanted to resist, but it was already too late. Chen Xi's pulling force was overwhelming. At the same time, Chen Xi stepped forward and crashed into Hulk's chest, driving his knee upward with vicious force!

That blow nearly ruptured Hulk's lungs.

But it was not over. Chen Xi pressed his advantage without mercy, bending his right arm and using the momentum to close in. He then swung his arm from the side and smashed it brutally across Hulk's throat!!

Bang!!

"Roar!!"

The intense pain sank into his bones. Hulk's defense and regeneration were absurdly powerful, but even he could not ignore pain once it reached a certain level. The throat was obviously a vital weak point!

Pain, pain, pain!!!

Hulk's eyes turned bloodshot and veins bulged across his body. Clutching his throat, he could barely remain standing as the regenerative factors in his cells frantically repaired it and eased his pain...

"Ding, mission complete. Reward: 50,000 Justice Points."

Just as Chen Xi wondered why the system still had not responded and prepared to move in for another blow, the system finally appeared.

Hulk truly was an unkillable cockroach. In just two seconds, he had already recovered.

When Chen Xi slowly approached him, Hulk turned and ran without looking back. No matter how Banner roared at him, he refused to listen.

Hulk might have been young, but he was still a child.

Running when you could not win was a child's instinct. They would not stubbornly fight to the death.

The countless spectators surrounding them were so shocked that words failed them. Some even dropped their phones in fright while filming...

They could not imagine that Hulk, who had rampaged across New York for so many years, had actually fled in panic?

A few seconds later, the crowd exploded!

"Oh my God!! Oh my God!!"

"Unbelievable! This is unbelievable!"

"My God, Hulk ran away?"

"Strong! This guy is too strong! He beat Hulk with his fists and crushed Abomination underfoot!"

"Sir, can I take a photo with you?"

"..."

Countless people danced and shouted excitedly, all looking at the somewhat bedraggled figure in the distance with worshipful eyes. Even that beggar-like outfit now looked stylish. It was a symbol of glory!

Chen Xi ignored their worship and cheers, walking directly up to Betty and pulling out a business card.

"Miss, are you lonely? Call me. I'm a responsible, good man."

Betty stared blankly at this shameless man. Fuck, was he kidding? Tony Stark??

Thud!!

Amid countless adoring cheers, Chen Xi stomped the ground and shot into the sky. Within a few breaths, he vanished from everyone's sight.

Only a cloud of dust and the shattered ground beneath his feet remained.

They stared blankly in the direction Chen Xi had left, speechless for a long time. Just who was that incredibly powerful man?

Not long after Chen Xi left, an old man delivering packages seemed to gaze through space itself at Chen Xi's departing figure.
