General Ross was not a billionaire.

But as a lieutenant general in the Army, the funds he could mobilize were far from insignificant.

As everyone knew, the U.S. military only bought expensive things, never the right ones.

For example, a coffee cup that cost only fifty cents to make was procured by the military for $1,280.

They spent $90,000 on a bag of ordinary screws at nine hundred times the market price.

And they paid $10,000 for a toilet seat and $90,000 for a goat.

In other words, Roy's $50 million fee was, to General Ross, equivalent to trading 556 goats or 556 bags of ordinary screws for Banner.

Hiring Roy to help capture Banner at that price was not a loss at all.

More importantly, Roy's professionalism was well known. He only collected payment after completing a commission.

If he failed...

To date, he had no record of failed commissions.

"Once the target appears, call the number above. I'll get there immediately."

Roy took a business card from the System Space and handed it to General Ross.

General Ross nodded, accepted the card, and put it away.

He then rose and extended his right hand to Roy.

Roy did not refuse. He stood and shook General Ross's hand.

Flying Thunder God Formula!

While shaking hands, he discreetly left a Flying Thunder God Formula on General Ross.

To keep General Ross from seeing it, he inscribed the Flying Thunder God Formula beneath the general's skin.

At the same time, he glanced at the middle-aged man behind General Ross and said calmly, "Your bodyguard is quite extraordinary."

Although General Ross had not introduced him, Roy had already guessed the middle-aged man's identity.

The future Abomination!

Emil Blonsky!

Judging from the life force he sensed, Blonsky had already been injected with an enhanced serum developed by another biotech strength-enhancement experiment, the Freezing Project. His physical abilities, such as strength, speed, and endurance, had improved significantly.

As for whether his regenerative abilities had also been enhanced to the level shown in the movies, Roy had no way of knowing yet.

After all, Blonsky had not been injured.

If his regenerative ability was as strong as it had been in the movies, allowing him to fully recover from a near-death state of full-body compound fractures in just one day, then the enhanced serum he had received surpassed even Captain America's serum in terms of healing.

"He's Blonsky, the field commander of the capture team and one of my trump cards."

General Ross briefly introduced Blonsky.

"To be appointed field commander of the capture team by you, General, he must have exceptional abilities."

Roy replied calmly.

General Ross said nothing more and left the office with Blonsky and his female secretary.

After entering the elevator, Blonsky looked at General Ross in confusion and asked, "Sir, I don't understand why you spent fifty million to hire him for the capture operation."

"He's not a soldier, and there are no signs of military training on the tiger's mouths of his hands."

"From that brief contact just now, he seemed like an ordinary person."

An ordinary person?

If Roy counted as an ordinary person, then there were no superhumans in this world!

General Ross glanced at Blonsky and slowly said, "It would not be convenient for me to disclose his specific information."

"I can only say that he is far from as simple as you think."

"In the military's internal files, his codename is 'Human-Shaped Nuclear Bomb.' His threat level is no less than that of a thirty-megaton nuclear bomb—and the kind that can be detonated repeatedly."

How was that possible?

Both Blonsky and the female secretary, Kathleen Sparr, wore expressions of disbelief.

They were both soldiers and knew very well what a thirty-megaton nuclear bomb represented.

After General Ross and the others left, Roy returned to his desk, picked up a controller, and launched the unfinished Berserker's Creed.

After playing for only a little over ten minutes, he put down the controller and seriously considered something.

Whether he should get his hands on the Physical Enhancement Drug Norman was currently using and turn Gwen into a superhuman as well.

If possible, he would rather Gwen become Spider-Gwen, just as she had on parallel universe Earth-65.

But in this universe, he was not sure whether Gwen would encounter the spider that had turned her into Spider-Gwen.

Back to the Physical Enhancement Drug Norman was using.

Although Norman had developed side effects after using it, such as violent tendencies, aggression, and bouts of madness, judging from Harry's results, Norman had simply been unlucky.

After going over it several times, he made his decision.

He would get his hands on the Physical Enhancement Drug used by Norman and Harry.

In addition, he had no intention of passing up the Super Spider genetically engineered by Empire State University Science Academy or Parker's blood sample.

Once he obtained those three things and drew a vial of blood from Gwen, he could go ask Tony for help.

Although Tony excelled more in mechanical engineering than bioengineering, neither perfecting the Physical Enhancement Drug used by Norman and Harry nor using the Super Spider and Parker's mutation as references to give Gwen the same mutation would be particularly difficult for him.

After all, he was a man who could build a time-travel navigation device overnight.

He could even handle precise navigation through time travel!

A mere genetic mutation and enhancement would naturally be even less of a problem.

If there was any issue at all, it was that asking Tony for help would leave him owing Tony a favor.

Still, for Gwen to gain the ability to protect herself, owing Tony a favor was not something he could not accept.

Having made his decision, Roy shut down the computer and used Flying Thunder God to leave the office.

The next second, he arrived at Empire State University Science Academy.

It took him less than half an hour to obtain what he wanted.

He did not take all fourteen Super Spiders with him. He only extracted their venom.

After obtaining the venom, he also copied the research data on those Super Spiders.

After leaving Empire State University Science Academy, he went to Norman's mansion.

He knew exactly where Norman's secret room was.

After using the Chakra Sensory Technique to confirm that Norman was not in the secret room, he infiltrated it and took a bottle of Physical Enhancement Drug.

To avoid any hidden cameras in the mansion or secret room, he had used the Transformation Technique to take on another appearance before entering the mansion.

Super Spider venom!

Physical Enhancement Drug!

All that remained was Parker's blood sample!

After leaving Norman's mansion, Roy did not return to the office. Instead, he used the Chakra Sensory Technique again to search for Parker.

He quickly locked onto Parker's location.

Just as he had guessed, Parker was fighting crime in the city.

At the moment, Parker did not need to attend school or work, leaving him plenty of time to fight crime.

After locating Parker, Roy took a white Animal Mask from the Konoha ANBU out of the System Space, along with the Red Cloud Robe of the Akatsuki and Gaara's small gourd.

Once he had put them on, he decisively used Flying Thunder God and teleported to the closest teleportation point to Parker.
