The sky was a little gloomy, and a slight breeze blew across the ground, bringing up dust and the fragrance of flowers and plants in the small garden.
On the outskirts of New York, an independent small villa with a garden stands alone, and the nearest neighbor is a hundred meters away.
A military vehicle parked at the entrance of the courtyard, and two soldiers stood straight at the door.
The fragrance of the garden's vegetation drifted into the window and surrounded the noses of the two people on the sofa in the living room.
The atmosphere was not very friendly. Dr. Bruce Banner frowned tightly and stared at the gray-haired old man in military uniform sitting opposite.
"General Ross, I am now the special technical advisor of S.H.I.E.L.D.. Your military has no reason to continue to hunt me..."
Now that Bruce had S.H.I.E.L.D. as his backer, he was no longer afraid that General Ross would ambush a bunch of people outside to deal with him, so he said so directly without the previous submissiveness.
Although with the help of Li Ge, Hulk no longer lost control. After discovering that Betty Ross was still disconnected from her current boyfriend, Bruce stopped disturbing her.
Therefore, the relationship between Bruce and General Ross is now more distant, and there is no longer the guilty feeling when seeing the father-in-law.
Bruce continued to ask, "So... do you have anything to do with me?"
General Ross stared at Bruce, regret and fiery emotions kept intertwining in his heart, and he was a little dazed for a moment.
Bruce shouted again before he came back to his senses, and his eyes suddenly became sharp. "Bruce, I'm not here to trouble you."
After a pause, General Ross sorted out his words, and then said, "I came to you to find out about a person's situation... that annoying kid from last time!"
Speaking of this, General Ross's face became a little ugly. This change of expression also fell into Bruce's eyes. He inexplicably recalled the shaking helicopter and couldn't help laughing.
"Pfft...!"
"Hmm! What are you laughing at?"
General Ross narrowed his eyes, and a trace of displeasure flashed across his always stern face.
"Ahem... I'm sorry, my throat suddenly felt uncomfortable just now."
After Bruce smiled like this, the tense atmosphere relaxed. He also excused his throat discomfort to pick up the water glass on the table and drank while hiding the smile in his eyes.
General Ross also realized what Bruce was laughing at just now. The muscles on his face suddenly stiffened, and he also remembered how embarrassed he was at that time.
"Okay, tell me, what do you want to know?"
"Let me tell you beforehand that I don't know much about him. I may not know what you want to know."
Bruce is a kind-hearted person after all. He quickly put aside the fact that he had been chased by General Ross. Thinking of all the extraordinary things about Li Ge, his eyes became solemn.
General Ross was secretly relieved when he heard that Bruce was willing to speak. Just as Bruce said, with the identity of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s special technical advisor, even the military would not be able to continue to hunt Bruce, let alone threaten him to reveal the information about Li Ge.
He calmed down and said with a solemn expression, "I only have one question... can that annoying brat... can really give other people Transcendent power?"
General Ross said this sentence very forcefully, and as soon as he finished speaking, he stared into Bruce's eyes.
"This..."
Bruce frowned and subconsciously avoided General Ross's gaze, feeling somewhat hesitant in his heart.
His personal experience was almost beating gongs and drums in his mind to prevent him from answering this question. The military's tyranny and unreasonableness made him not have much favorable impression of the military, nor did he trust their character.
Li Ge helped him separate from Hulk and also established a relationship with S.H.I.E.L.D.. It can be said that he was a great favor to him.
The most important thing is that Li Ge is still so young. Even if he is powerful, how can he deal with the unrelenting military?
Without truly understanding the power of Li Ge, Bruce was very hesitant to reveal Li Ge's information to the military.
"It seems... this is true?"
But Bruce ignored one thing. Sometimes simple hesitation is a kind of default, especially for an old fox like General Ross. As soon as he saw Bruce's performance, he immediately confirmed his guess about Li Ge's ability.
General Ross's squinted eyes sparkled, and an excited smile appeared on his serious face.
"That gray-white giant wearing a military coat is the power he gives, right!?"
General Ross stood up from the sofa, walked back and forth with sonorous steps, waving his arms excitedly, as if asking Bruce, but his tone was full of determination.
He suddenly stopped and looked down at Bruce, who was sitting on the sofa with an unhappy face, as if he was the master here.
"Did you know?"
"Ever since that incident, I have been investigating him."
"Who is he, where does he come from, who is he related to, how does he get his power... and how do you get Transcendent power from him?"
General Ross's words became faster and faster, and his voice became louder and louder, like a hunter roaring excitedly when he sees a plump prey.
"Huh...Li Ge, he is a Mutants, a super genius inside Mutants!"
General Ross's chest deflated, he let out a heavy breath, turned around and sat down again.
"What do you want to do?!"
Bruce was just taken by General Ross's aura. His smart mind immediately realized that General Ross was probably already planning Li Ge.
This time Bruce stood up suddenly. He held the coffee table with both hands and growled, trying to put some pressure on General Ross with his excited eyes.
General Ross just glanced at Bruce indifferently, then picked up the cup and took a sip of water to moisten his throat.
His voice suddenly became softer, and he said, "You know, there are people from our military in Mutants. Our military will know about any big moves they make."
General Ross's eyes were filled with passion and fear as he continued, "Li Ge... He opened up a world... a Mutants world called Krakoa."
"Then... he opened up Nine Heavens... and started to create Path to Godhood. Mutants inside Krakoa can already enter it to gain power... just First Heaven can make people who pass the trial become super humans like Captain America!"
General Ross looked up at Bruce's shocked and skeptical expression, almost sighing, "It's incredible, isn't it? I think so too! That's why I want to get a clear answer from you!"
"After all... you are all S.H.I.E.L.D.'s special technical advisors, and you must know him better."
"I hope you can help me ease my relationship with him."
Bruce fell back on the sofa in a daze, General Ross's words continued to echo in his mind, and Li Ge's young face began to become blurry in his mind, as if it was covered with a mysterious veil.
Li Ge seemed to have said this to him and invited him. Bruce suddenly felt that he should have chosen to join Li Ge's team in the first place?
