Banner: "Hello, I'm a Monster."

Tony felt a little awkward. He had actually mocked someone right in front of the person involved.

Then he shot Su Zheng a glare, walked up to Banner, extended his hand, and said,

"Hello, I'm Tony, a scientist."

Banner shook Tony's hand and said, "Hello, I'm Banner, a monster!"

The scene fell silent at once.

Even the air was filled with awkwardness.

Banner smiled faintly and said, "I'm joking."

"I don't get angry that easily."

Tony smiled and said to Su Zheng, "Why did you come here?"

Su Zheng said, "It's a long story."

"First, let me tell you something. I created an organization called the Illuminati."

"I'm inviting you to join it."

A trace of confusion appeared in Tony's eyes as he asked,

"What kind of organization is that?"

At that moment, Banner sensed that something was off and interrupted,

"Wait, Su Zheng. How many people are in our Illuminati right now?"

Su Zheng replied calmly, "Just the two of us for now."

Banner: "..."

In other words, before I joined, it was just you, Su Zheng.

It was an organization with only one person, yet you still dared ask me to join.

And you said it was an organization for scientists to discuss knowledge together.

Damn it, I was the only scientist. Who was I supposed to discuss anything with?

Su Zheng ignored the speechless Banner and said to Tony, "The Illuminati is an organization where scientists discuss knowledge."

Tony had just been about to refuse. It was only a tiny organization with two people, so why should he join?

"I refu—"

Before Tony could finish, Su Zheng saw his expression and knew what he was about to say.

It looked like he had no choice but to guilt-trip him.

Su Zheng said, "I saved your life."

Tony immediately changed what he had been about to say.

"I'm in!"

Su Zheng said, "Okay, then our Illuminati has three people now."

"More people will definitely join us in the future."

Tony shrugged.

Su Zheng continued, "Since we're members of the Illuminati, we need to help each other."

"Tony, Banner is wanted. Find a way to clear the warrant for him."

Tony nodded. He had already looked into the matter. Banner was merely an unlucky man who had been hit by gamma radiation.

He was not a bad person.

With Tony's connections in the military, it would not be difficult to handle.

It would just take some time.

When Banner heard the news, a hint of delight appeared on his face. He had waited for this day for a long time.

He had not expected it to happen today.

Although Su Zheng did not look particularly reliable, he was actually quite dependable when it came to getting things done.

What he promised today, he accomplished today.

Joining the Illuminati had not been a loss for him after all.

Su Zheng continued, "Tony, Banner will be staying here with you tonight."

"Then I'll be going now."

"Bye-bye!"

Tony looked at Su Zheng, who had dumped Banner on him, utterly speechless.

Banner looked around at the surroundings and found them rather nice. This was a luxurious villa, after all.

The next day.

Su Zheng brought Banner to the research institute, hoping to find the Hulk experiment data from back then.

There, Banner met his ex-girlfriend.

The two burst into tears of joy when they saw each other.

Banner's ex-girlfriend had copied the experimental materials back then.

Betty Ross then returned to her room and handed Banner a USB drive.

The two talked for a long time.

But in the end, they still decided to part ways.

After all, Banner was still wanted, and Tony could not clear the warrant against him anytime soon.

Besides, the Hulk inside him was unstable. It would be terrible if he hurt Betty Ross.

Once he solved the Hulk problem, he could come back for Betty.

Just as the three were about to separate.

A large group of fully armed soldiers came running from the distance. They aimed at Banner and slowly closed in.

Not only that, three armored vehicles drove over as well.

The vehicles were not equipped with main cannons or machine guns.

Instead, they carried massive sonic devices.

These were sonic weapons General Ross had specifically created to deal with the Hulk.

The soldiers opened fire on Banner without hesitation, and their aim was precise.

Not a single shot hit Su Zheng or Betty beside him.

They hit Banner.

The moment the bullets entered Banner's body, parts of his skin turned green, eliminating the threat posed by the gunfire.

"Roar!"

Banner slowly transformed into the Hulk.

His hands turned green, and his arms became abnormally thick—seven or eight times thicker than before—instantly bursting through his shirt.

At the same time, his legs thickened and turned green as well, and part of his pants tore apart.

His pants became underwear, still clinging to the Hulk's body.

When Su Zheng saw this,

he thought that Banner had clearly been wearing jeans. By all logic, if his legs had expanded seven or eight times over, even the pants should have been completely shredded.

All he could say was that the Hulk's invincible underwear truly lived up to its name. It simply made no sense.

The Hulk stood over three meters tall, his expression savage. His huge front teeth were each bigger than six normal ones.

At that moment, the Hulk looked incomparably enraged. Then again, no matter when it was, the Hulk was always angry.

He had an excellent physique, with six perfect abdominal muscles. Both his arms and legs were packed with unusually thick muscles, making him look like a primordial barbarian giant, brimming with oppressive force.

The Hulk roared at the soldiers.

"ROAR!!!"

His saliva flew three meters through the air and splattered across the soldiers' faces.

The soldiers were deeply frightened when they saw him, but they remained where they were and kept firing.

Both the M4A1 automatic rifles and the machine guns opened fire.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang..."

Countless gleaming yellow bullets struck the Hulk's body, yet they had no effect whatsoever.

A closer look revealed that the oval bullets flattened the instant they hit the Hulk's skin, like little pancakes.

At that moment, an impressive soldier appeared. He ran far faster than ordinary soldiers.

His name was Emil Blonsky, a world-class special forces soldier.

He had already been injected with a super-soldier serum developed from the Hulk's blood. His physical abilities now surpassed those of ordinary people by far.

Su Zheng stood nearby, watching the Hulk fight Blonsky.

Calling it a fight was generous. In reality, Blonsky was merely dodging nonstop.

After Su Zheng brought Betty Ross to a safe place, he watched the scene unfold.

Just then, the system's voice rang out in Su Zheng's mind.
