The Blockbuster of Passion Unfolded, Catalina Wanted to Watch More, So... Shall We Continue?

The next day.

Y Squad, Waterside Villa.

Morning sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a pale orange glow across the white wool carpet in the reception room.

Betty Ross lay peacefully on the bed.

The scars left by the plane explosion had completely vanished under Catalina's Crazy Diamond restoration ability. Her skin was even smoother than before she had been injured.

Beside her lay Bruce Banner, who was also asleep and had returned to normal.

"Mmm~"

Betty Ross's eyelids fluttered before she slowly opened her eyes.

At that moment, a voice drifted into the room from outside.

"Captain, should I wake them up? It's time for breakfast!"

"Go ahead, go ahead!"

"..."

Th-This... where was she?

Betty stared at the ceiling overhead and tried hard to search through her memories. Yet her recollection stopped at the instant flames from the exploding plane had engulfed her. Then she seemed to remember something.

That was right, where was Bruce?

Only then did Betty notice the warmth in her hand.

Someone was beside her?

Could it be???

Betty turned her head.

Sure enough, she saw Banner asleep beside her.

And her hand was tightly clasped in his.

It was as if nothing in the world could ever separate the two of them again.

Just then,

Banner's eyelids twitched, and he instantly opened his eyes, meeting Betty Ross's gaze.

"Bruce..."

Betty gazed at Banner's face as every kind of emotion surged through her heart.

Fear, joy...

Looking at Banner so close to her, she slowly brought her face nearer.

"Betty..."

As Banner watched his beloved draw closer and closer, the feelings he had suppressed for years erupted like a volcano.

Desire gained the upper hand.

Reason was buried.

Banner rose and fiercely sealed Betty's unfinished words with his lips.

After a long while,

their lips parted.

Only then did the two lovers release each other.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

The watch on Banner's wrist sounded at just the right moment, warning him that his heartbeat was accelerating.

"Bruce, it's okay!"

Betty, her face flushed with springtime warmth, gently breathed into Banner's ear.

Bruce Banner's hand began to move downward uncontrollably.

Mountains, valleys...

Just as the sensual atmosphere was about to reach its peak.

Bang!

The door was violently pushed open.

Catalina rushed in in a flurry. "Dr. Banner, Ms. Betty, the captain asked me to—"

The blonde girl stared blankly at the man and woman on the bed, passionately tearing at each other's clothes.

Her cheeks instantly turned scorching hot.

"Uh!"

"I... I didn't see anything!"

"Y-You... carry on!"

"..."

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Crisp footsteps rang out from the stairwell.

Banner and the other two walked down the stairs with perfectly normal expressions, as though that awkward scene had never happened, naturally heading toward the dining area.

Morning light spilled into the house, dyeing the entire dining area a warm golden yellow.

The intoxicating aroma of butter and coffee filled the air.

Betty's gaze was drawn to an elegant figure, and even as a woman, she could not help but marvel inwardly.

The figure before her was simply too beautiful.

Beside the dining table, a woman of extraordinary temperament was carefully arranging all sorts of breakfast dishes.

The witch Medea had changed out of her exquisite purple gown.

She now wore only a knee-length white silk nightgown, its collar slightly open to reveal a stretch of jade-white collarbone and a long, graceful swanlike neck.

Her purple hair was simply pinned up with an antique hairpin. Beneath the hem of her gown were a pair of long, flawless legs that inspired envy, covered by a home apron printed with adorable kittens.

She was cool and dazzling, utterly captivating.

Yu Xian, already seated at the table, looked at them cheerfully and called out, "Since you're here, come eat. Don't be formal—just make yourselves at home!"

The table was already laden with a sumptuous breakfast: golden, crispy French toast; stacks of pancakes drizzled with maple syrup; several colorful fruit salads; and steaming mushroom omelets.

Medea was pouring freshly brewed coffee into mugs bearing the Y Squad emblem, its fragrance wafting everywhere.

"Th-This is way too lavish, isn't it?" Banner's eyes widened. Having gone hungry for an entire day, his stomach grumbled embarrassingly.

Betty casually accepted the coffee Medea handed her and took a sip. Her eyes immediately lit up. "God, how did you make this coffee? It's so good!"

"I used a few little tricks."

Medea spoke expressionlessly, but her hands never stopped moving as she skillfully served food to everyone. "These were all made with modern human ingredients. There are no magical enhancement effects, so please eat without concern."

"Magical enhancement effects?" Betty looked at Banner in surprise, but he merely shrugged to show that he did not know either.

Skye came out of the kitchen carrying juice. "It's all Sister Medea's magic. Little things that can temporarily grant some ability boosts after you eat them, though they don't taste very good."

Yu Xian speared a piece of pancake with his fork, put it into his mouth, and chewed lightly. "Before we discuss business, enjoy the food! We'll talk after breakfast!"

[Detected that the host was in a pleasant mood while enjoying delicious food. Pleasure Value +100]

As a result,

breakfast passed amid Banner and Betty's endless praise.

Banner patted his swollen belly and said with great satisfaction, "It's been a long time since I've eaten anything this delicious."

"Doctor, what are you planning to do next?" As a hacker, gathering information had become Skye's instinct.

Banner took a sip of orange juice. "I need to see Mr. Blue as soon as possible. He has already received my blood sample and may have found a way to control the transformation."

United States, military base.

"Reporting, sir. We found a message Bruce Banner left while communicating with someone in the S.H.I.E.L.D. database."

General Ross abruptly turned around, his sharp gaze fixing on the screen like that of a hawk. "What does it say?"

"It says: New York, Grayburn College, Samuel Sterns!"

New York, Grayburn College.

The trapezoidal teaching buildings, classical French-style library, and lush green lawns formed the elegant outline of the institution.

Some students were filming short videos or chatting on benches by the roadside, while others hurried to class clutching textbooks. The entire campus was tranquil and vibrant.

Click!

Yu Xian's group's vehicle stopped at the entrance to the college.

The doors opened. Yu Xian was the first to step out, followed by Banner, Betty, and the other members of Y Squad.

Looking at the vehicle before him, Yu Xian could not help sighing inwardly. After so many lottery draws, he still had not obtained any machine-related abilities.

It would have been great if he could draw a Transformer spark.

Then future travel would be truly intelligent driving, requiring no human operation at all, and there would be no need to worry about safety either.

Shaking his head,

he abandoned that unrealistic fantasy.

He should just honestly rely on his own artificial assistant.

Yu Xian and the others entered Grayburn College.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

Skye's fingers constantly tapped against her tablet.

Today, the hacker girl wore a professional skirt suit. The hem of her white blouse was tucked into her skirt, outlining her slender waist. Her long legs were wrapped in black stockings, her brown hair softly curled, and a trace of excitement showed on her round oval face. A moment later, she shouted, "Found him! Found him!"

On the tablet was a photo of Samuel Sterns.
