Chapter 61: Sooner or later, it belongs to Li Chen
Soon, Li Chen took Gwen to pick up Mary Jane.
Gwen did not find it strange; she was used to being with Mary Jane.
She even forgot why her boyfriend didn't feel like there was a third wheel around.
Mary Jane lived in Queens, and it was already quite late when Li Chen drove over.
Today, Mary Jane was obviously meticulously dressed up. Her wine-red long hair draped over her shoulders, and she wore a black one-piece short skirt. Her pair of long legs was very eye-catching, especially the pointed-toe, red-bottomed stilettos on her feet, making her look like an urban beauty.
She also deliberately put on exquisite makeup, making her look neither overly seductive nor very pure.
One could only say she was very scheming.
Standing like this by the roadside, she attracted a lot of attention, but no one dared to go harass her.
People nearby all knew how fiery Mary Jane's temper was; anyone who dared to provoke her had better watch out for their balls getting busted.
Until a Rolls-Royce stopped in front of her.
Mary Jane showed a warm smile: "Hi, Li, Gwen."
"MJ, you look really pretty today."
Li Chen gave a sincere compliment.
Gwen also chimed in: "Yeah, MJ isn't any worse than some celebrities."
That was indeed true; Mary Jane's appearance was much prettier than some celebrities.
But this wasn't anything special.
Because Hollywood was full of handsome men and beautiful women, and any random dreaming girl's appearance was basically not bad.
But opportunities were so scarce, and they didn't have the chance to stand out.
Most of the final endings were very bleak: either being tricked into going to the neighboring Holy Valley to shoot those avant-garde movies—once they went to shoot in Holy Valley, they could never return to the mainstream sight in this lifetime.
But at least they could still make some money, or else they could only gloomily return to their hometown and find an honest man to live a normal life...
"Thank you."
Mary Jane responded with a smile, but it wasn't too obvious.
She slipped into the back seat. At this time, Gwen was also in the back, and the two best friends stuck together again.
However, the two people's states were completely different. If Mary Jane was glamorous and radiant, then Gwen looked somewhat miserable.
"Oh god, Gwen, what is going on with you?"
Mary Jane looked at Gwen in surprise.
Gwen had changed into a JK uniform, wearing tube socks, but her complexion was very poor, especially under her eyes, where there seemed to be dark circles.
Gwen lowered her voice and said: "It's nothing, just a bit tired."
"Didn't rest well last night?"
Mary Jane was startled and asked in a low voice.
"Mm."
Gwen nodded and distressfully said: "You don't know, last night I almost thought I was going to die."
"No way? So exaggerated?"
Mary Jane covered her mouth, her eyes involuntarily drifting toward Li Chen in the front.
"Really, I couldn't handle him at all by myself."
Gwen said with distress.
Mary Jane almost blurted out, "How about I help you?"
But she held back and didn't expose her intention.
"Gwen, this won't do."
Mary Jane hugged Gwen: "I certainly don't want to lose you; we are going to be best friends for life."
"Me too."
Gwen was very touched, suddenly thinking that since Li Chen was so formidable, it might be better to let MJ help her.
That way, it would still be better than letting other seductive bitches benefit.
However, she only thought about it in her heart and didn't say it out loud.
The two people each harbored their own hidden agendas, hugging like that without speaking.
Li Chen looked at the deeply affectionate sisterly appearance in the back row, smiled, and said nothing.
In the end, they were all going to be together anyway.
The better their relationship, the easier it would be for them to accept it.
Li Chen directly brought them to Fifth Avenue. They hadn't asked where they were going before.
It wasn't until they arrived here at this moment that they asked: "Honey, why are we coming here?"
"Buy some things."
Li Chen spoke up: "I bought a house in New York, and I happen to need to procure some items. It will also be your home in the future, so you, the mistress, naturally have to come and watch over it."
Being told this by Li Chen, Gwen instantly felt sweetness in her heart.
This sentence was simply a critical hit to her.
This was their shared home after all.
Mary Jane had a look of envy and spoke up: "How nice, your new home, but I am an outsider."
Soon she wouldn't be.
Li Chen thought to himself and said: "MJ, we definitely don't treat you as an outsider. You are Gwen's good sister, so naturally you're my good friend."
"Yeah, our relationship is the same."
Gwen also pulled Mary Jane along.
Li Chen found a place to park, and then brought the two women out of the car.
This time he wasn't polite, directly reaching out to put his arm around Gwen's shoulders.
But Mary Jane's action was unexpected; instead of sticking close to Gwen, she came to Li Chen's other side and reached out to link her arm with Li Chen's.
"Since you guys put it that way, then I won't be polite. I'll also express my opinions."
Mary Jane showed a warm smile.
Li Chen lowered his head to look at Gwen and found that Gwen wasn't angry; instead, she revealed a faint smile.
Because she knew very well that Mary Jane just had such a carefree and boisterous personality.
Moreover, this vaguely matched her thoughts from just moments ago.
It was just that she felt this was too shocking and worldly-defying, so she didn't dare to say it out loud.
But now it seemed that Mary Jane didn't reject Li Chen as a boyfriend.
Thus, Li Chen also let go of his reservations, hugging one with each arm, while his other arm was linked, envied by quite a few passersby.
However, this was the daily life of rich people. Right at the roadside cafe, there were four brightly dressed women surrounding an old White man.
In a capitalist society, it was just like this.
"Let's go, let's go buy some clothes first. I don't have anything here."
Li Chen laughed and reached out to pat Mary Jane's waist.
Simply turning it directly into a full embrace around her waist.
Gwen didn't seem to feel it and didn't say anything.
The three of them entered the Louis Vuitton store just like that.
Fifth Avenue was Manhattan's most important main thoroughfare, and it was also known as the'Street of Dreams'. Every high-end brand you could think of could be seen here.
If even Fifth Avenue didn't have a store for it... then don't even talk about being high-end.
Therefore, this place was considered the most luxurious shopping street in the world.
"Hello."
With the three of them swaggering into the store like this, the waiters in formal wear all hurried up to welcome them.
Li Chen spoke up: "Introduce everything to us."
"Alright, sir."
The salesclerk immediately started introducing with a smile on her face.
Li Chen listened for a bit, then withdrew his hand and pointed at the two of them, saying: "Bring a few sets for each of them to look at."
"Alright, sir."
The attendant looked at Mary Jane and Gwen with envy.
Gwen was somewhat surprised. She wasn't a gold-digger, so she immediately became flustered and said: "Honey, I don't need it."
"Gwen, you've been with me for so long, and I haven't given you any gifts yet. You are not allowed to refuse me today."
Li Chen knew what kind of personality Gwen had, so he was extremely domineering.
As for Mary Jane? Her eyes had long been dazzled, and at this moment she helped Li Chen persuade her: "Gwen, he is a rich man, so don't save money for him."
Mary Jane thought that sooner or later she would belong to Li Chen, so she was just spending a bit of interest in advance.
Chapter 62: Shopping is Also Very Tiring
Prompted by what Mary Jane said, Gwen wavered.
She nodded. "Alright then, thank you, darling."
She leaned over to kiss Li Chen on the corner of his mouth and whispered in his ear, "Darling, I have a gift for you too."
Gwen glanced at Mary Jane, a flash of apology in her eyes.
Gwen was rebellious by nature and somewhat influenced by social trends.
As society became increasingly open, she naturally was affected by it as well.
Moreover, in a capitalist society, many things were commonplace; she had seen Harry Osborn change girlfriends more often than clothes.
Therefore, Gwen's acceptance level for these things was quite high.
One could only say Western ways were indeed different...
Even those girls in Huaxia who considered themselves 'traditional' would beam with joy upon seeing even the ugliest White person and stick to them without hesitation.
You must know that those low-tier White men were known as 'white trash' in America.
But as soon as they traveled to the East, they would instantly receive preferential treatment from steaks.
No wonder some people said they were even cheaper than Brazil steaks...
You must know that Brazil steaks had terrifyingly low prices due to low breeding costs and large-scale production.
To get back to the point, Gwen was not a very orthodox girl to begin with, and her views were quite progressive, so having such thoughts was not surprising.
Mainly, the combat power Li Chen displayed startled her.
If Li Chen hadn't been her match, let alone openly taking a bite, even wanting to sneak a taste would have been impossible.
Next, Gwen and Mary Jane changed into the latest outfits like princesses.
The turnover of luxury goods was even faster than imagined.
Sometimes wearing out-of-season items would often lead to mockery.
It was precisely because of this comparison that the prices of luxury goods were getting higher and higher.
After all, they weren't meant for poor people to buy in the first place.
Several attendants devoted their full attention to the two of them, helping them put on and change clothes.
At this moment, Gwen was changing inside, but Mary Janecouldn't wait any longer.
She changed into a blue high-slit backless long dress and walked like a runway model up to Li Chen.
"Li, how is it?"
She came before Li Chen, spun around, and exuded her charm.
Li Chen unhesitatingly wrapped his arm around her waist, pulled her close, and looked her up and down as if appraising an item.
"MJ, you are so beautiful."
"Thank you."
Mary Jane then pushed Li Chen away and laughed softly, "Don't let Gwen see."
Honestly, Li Chen found himself feeling a bit thrilled by her antics.
He reached out and clenched the air, noting that Mary Janewasn't as thin as Gwen; instead, she had plenty of flesh, and the feel was great.
Facts proved that being too skinny didn't look good at all, let alone the tactile feel, and Li Chen believed nobody would like a skeleton.
Once Mary Jane went back inside, Gwen came out of the fitting room again.
Li Chen looked at Gwen with a calm expression, showing nothing out of the ordinary.
Although Gwen was Spider-Man and extremely sharp, her Spider-Sense detected danger.
Regarding the situation between Li Chen and Mary Jane, the Spider-Sense was helpless.
After all, they didn't mean any harm to Gwen.
Gwen wasn't as tall as Mary Jane, but she was still 1.7 meters tall; her figure wasn't as plump as Mary Jane's, but she possessed more of the lively and clear vibe of a college student.
Li Chen had to admit that college life was great.
Gwen wore a yellow top paired with new hot pants, looking very alluring.
After a short rest, her body had also recovered.
This convinced Gwen that ordinary people would really die from this.
Therefore, she was hesitating a bit now; she couldn't let anything happen to her good best friend.
Just like that, Li Chen was dazzled by the sight.
"Pack up everything we just tried on."
With a wave of his hand, he chose to take them all.
"Darling, isn't this too wasteful?"
Gwen and Mary Jane had never bought things like this since they were little, and they were completely dumbfounded.
However, one was thinking of saving, while the other's eyes were shining brightly.
Although Mary Jane said the same thing as Gwen, her eyes revealed her true thoughts: she was tempted.
Everyone had a bit of gold-digging attribute more or less; after all, who didn't like money?
It was just that Mary Jane had long regarded herself as Li Chen's person, so spending his money naturally didn't pain her.
Moreover, her status was different from Gwen's.
Gwen was Li Chen's official girlfriend, so of course she had to care about Li Chen's wallet.
Mary Jane knew she wouldn't challenge Gwen's position, so she needed other ways to comfort herself.
Li Chen understood clearly in his heart, so he smiled and said, "Today is happy, and if you don't want them, MJ wouldn't have the nerve."
Gwen had no choice but to roll her eyes at Li Chen and agreed.
However, when paying, she still felt a bit dizzy.
The things she and MJ bought unexpectedly totaled over three hundred thousand dollars.
"Oh my god, this is almost more than my student loans."
Mary Jane was also a bit dizzy.
She originally thought it wouldn't be much, not expecting it to be so exaggerated.
Thus, the gaze she cast at Li Chen grew even more fervent.
But for Li Chen, money had long been just a number, so he didn't even bat an eye.
Afterwards, he led the two women to continue shopping.
For Gwen and Mary Jane, today was completely a day that subverted their cognition.
Before this, they couldn't imagine what the life of rich people was like at all.
But today they truly experienced it.
Clothes were just the most basic; new bags, cosmetics they could only look at and couldn't afford before, all of these were taken down by Li Chen without blinking an eye.
Luxury goods seemed not to be luxury items in his eyes, but like buying toys for children.
Gwen felt a bit heartbroken at first, but it quickly turned into numbness.
People gradually get used to a thing.
And after getting used to it, they would take it for granted.
Their concepts of money were impacted, but they felt extremely thrilled.
Of course, Li Chen also felt great.
He had long wanted to shop like this.
It's just that bringing Ram and Rem in Los Angeles would be a bit conspicuous.
After all, one had pink hair and the other blue hair, which would look a bit strange anywhere.
But Gwen and the others wouldn't be like that; people would only envy Li Chen.
"Li, do you always spend like this?"
Mary Jane's complexion was somewhat flushed, obviously feeling thoroughly gratified.
She felt as if she were in a dream.
Although many things weren't bought for her, her emotional value was maxed out, and she kept providing opinions.
As long as something was bought, she felt very happy.
Because it felt as if everything could be bought.
"No."
Li Chen shook his head and said, "Other places aren't as satisfying as Fifth Avenue."
"Are you hungry?"
Hearing Li Chen say this, the two of them indeed felt a bit hungry.
Shopping was also a very tiring matter.
"Let's go, I'll treat you to seafood."
Li Chen smiled.
Treating them to seafood meant they would have to treat him back later.
After all, Li Chen liked eating seafood the most.
Gwen and Mary Jane had a deep sisterly bond; linking arms with Li Chen, their states of mind seemed to have undergone great changes.
Chapter 63: The Good Neighbor of New York Just Wants to Rush to Los Angeles
Just as Li Chen was enjoying his wealthy lifestyle,
New York seemed to be shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere.
Only a few people knew what was happening here.
"Fury, Bruce Banner has already entered New York."
The increasingly voluptuous Maria Hill stepped into the office in high heels and reported the situation to Nick Fury.
Hearing this name, Nick Fury, who was working at his desk, also felt a headache coming on.
"What's going on?"
Nick Fury raised his head and asked with a frown.
Maria Hill held the file in her hand, glanced at it again, and said, "He met a guy named Dr. Blue online, and he believes that the other party can help him solve the problem of turning into a monster."
"Shit."
Nick Fury said speechlessly, "Even S.H.I.E.L.D. has no way to help him solve this problem, and he can just find someone online?"
"Stupid fellow."
He cursed angrily, knowing that Bruce Banner had lost his mind over this matter.
But whoever had this happen to them would probably be about the same.
He should have been a promising Doctor of biology, but because of a sudden experimental accident, he turned into a terrifying monster.
Even he himself couldn't control his changes; at first, whenever he got slightly angry, he would turn into Hulk.
Now, although he relies on things like yoga to barely control his transformation, he still cannot live the life of a normal person anymore.
What he constantly thought about in his heart was never turning into a monster again and completely solving this problem.
That was why Bruce Banner took the risk to come to New York.
But in the eyes of S.H.I.E.L.D., which had been keeping an eye on him, this guy was too dangerous. What if he turned into a monster in New York?
That would guarantee hitting worldwide headlines.
This was New York, after all; whatever happened in New York would be known all over the world the next day.
Therefore, Maria Hill asked: "Fury, should we control him?"
This made Nick Fury shake his head: "And then? That old bastard General Ross won't let us off."
General Ross was a three-star Lieutenant General of the America Army, although not a five-star general... but this was peacetime.
It could be said that his status was already very high, and S.H.I.E.L.D. didn't dare to provoke him casually.
After all, S.H.I.E.L.D. only had Agent, while General Rosshad an army.
In any place, never try to argue with the violent machine.
Precisely because of this, General Ross's 'HP bar' was extremely thick.
The entire Manhattan was almost destroyed, and the losses were unknown, but even so, General Ross didn't go to a military court, and instead transformed into the Secretary of State...
What was even more exaggerated was that this guy later even became the President of America, who could figure that out?
For an ordinary person, having such a major accident happen would have plunged them into the abyss long ago.
Exactly because he knew General Ross had backing, Nick Fury dared not make a move against Bruce Banner.
After all, Bruce Banner had always been the research target of General Ross.
Bruce Banner's mutation not only didn't frighten General Ross, but instead excited him; this was a true Super Soldier, and only such warriors could be invincible on the battlefield.
It was a pity that after turning into Hulk, Bruce Bannerwould lose consciousness; otherwise, it would be even better.
"Observe first, and let our Agent keep an eye on things."
"Understood, what if General Ross and the others come?"
"Then cede the person to them."
Nick Fury was also quite helpless, but this was reality.
S.H.I.E.L.D., arrogant as it might seem, had no ability to go against the army at all.
Even though General Ross was only an army general...
As everyone knew, America's army was the most trashy.
But no matter how trashy it was, it wasn't something S.H.I.E.L.D. could afford to mess with.
Right now, Nick Fury only hoped that Bruce Banner would finish up quickly and leave, at least not stay in New York.
As for General Ross, although he hoped he would come slowly, it was almost impossible.
S.H.I.E.L.D. had long had its eyes on Bruce Banner, but precisely because of the existence of General Ross, it was difficult to directly recruit him.
...
After finishing seafood at noon, Li Chen continued to take the two best friends shopping.
I have to say, on Fifth Avenue, as long as you had enough money, you would almost never feel bored.
Those novel gadgets and characteristic buildings were enough to make anyone stop.
Li Chen had to admit that Los Angeles really wasn't this fun.
The only thing better about Los Angeles than here was probably that it was always filled with sunshine, and the weather was shockingly good.
Just like Mount Olympus in Greek mythology, there was no autumn and winter, always a warm summer, and naturally no rain, lightning, and the like.
Therefore, in Los Angeles, one could see many 'dark-skinned' beauties.
White women all liked to get tanned, believing that such a skin tone was healthy.
On the other hand, the aesthetic of yellow people was the reverse; they didn't like black, and instead preferred themselves to be as white as possible.
Gwen and Mary Jane both felt thoroughly satisfied.
They were New Yorkers and often came to places like this on weekdays, but they had never consumed like this before.
So much so that their concepts had changed a lot, and their gazes looking at Li Chen were also filled with a watery feeling.
Who could withstand this?
Li Chen felt that even if he made any excessive demands, they would agree without hesitation.
"It's getting late, want to go take a look at the new home I bought?"
Li Chen looked at the sky and proposed.
"Alright."
Gwen and Mary Jane were both very excited.
They also wanted to see Li Chen's mansion.
Moreover, being outside all day was indeed a bit tiring, especially Mary Jane, who had been wearing high heels all along and had long been somewhat exhausted.
"Then get in the car, beauties."
Li Chen smiled and said, the things bought earlier had all been sent directly back by the clerks.
They bought quite a lot of things, and just one day's consumption was over a million.
This was Li Chen's first time spending so much money; besides being a bit excited at first, he had now calmed down.
Facts proved that once money reached a certain number, it was merely just a number.
Even in a capitalist society, while having money, one must also make oneself have status so that it could be consolidated.
And the existence of the Hellfire Club was a good springboard to achieve class transition.
The most important thing about the Hellfire Club was never money, but the social status it could bring.
Gwen and Mary Jane got into the back seat, and then headed toward Li Chen's new home amidst laughter.
Of course, it could also be Gwen's new home.
However, at this moment, Gwen was calling George Stacy.
After a burst of whispers, Gwen said helplessly: "Georgewants me to go back tonight, dammit!"
This made Li Chen glance at the rearview mirror and see Mary Jane's expression shift slightly.
Li Chen said, "It doesn't matter, Gwen. When you get to Los Angeles, you won't have to listen to him anymore."
"That's true, I'll be able to go to Los Angeles soon."
At this moment, the good neighbor of New Yorkers just wanted to wholeheartedly rush to Los Angeles.
Chapter 64: How Can There Be An Opportunity If You Don't Get Drunk?
The Rolls-Royce drove along the coastline all the way to the residential area of Long Island.
This was undoubtedly a wealthy area, and even if the entire New York fell into the flames of war, it would still be safe here.
The security here was very strict, and police cars could be seen patrolling not far away.
In a place with good public order, seeing these would probably make one's heart skip a beat.
But in America, this was proof of safety.
What could be more reassuring than armed police officers who could provide reinforcements within five minutes, or even a shorter time...?
In such a place full of wealthy people, as long as you dressed a little poorly, you would be interrogated by the police officers.
They would tell you not to get close if there was nothing going on.
As long as they were poor people, they looked like criminals in their eyes.
"Is this the place?"
They came to a Villa on the 'edge of a cliff'.
This kind of Villa was very well-designed, and the whole house looked like a huge disk, making living in it feel like living in the future.
However, Li Chen had not lived in one yet.
"Right."
The gate was opened, and Li Chen drove in, reminding them: "There are other people at home, maids who came with me, don't worry."
Gwen and Mary Jane were not surprised upon hearing this; it was normal for rich people to have a few maids.
But as soon as she got out of the car, Gwen was surprised.
I saw two not-so-tall maids standing at the door waiting for them. One of them had pink hair covering one eye, and the other had blue hair, similarly covering one eye.
The maid with blue hair was holding a tray in her hands, on which were placed a few hot towels.
"Isn't this... Ram and Rem?"
Gwen looked at Li Chen a bit dizzy.
She had indeed read the manga, so she recognized them at a glance.
However, she didn't expect that these were summoned by Li Chen. Her first feeling was that Li Chen really knew how to play...
There were even people cosplaying characters from his own company!
Li Chen said: "It's them. The manga was made based on them as prototypes."
Li Chen's words had no flaws, and in fact reversed the logic.
This matter was like whether the chicken came first or the egg came first; no one could prove whether the manga came out first.
If the manga came out first, how did the two young girls grow up in such a short time?
As expected, Gwen did not doubt it, and immediately envied: "I see, you are really good to them."
"Of course, they are my good maids."
As if not hearing Gwen's jealousy, Li Chen deliberately asked in a low voice: "Do you want to make a Ghost Spidermanga?"
Gwen immediately glanced at Mary Jane and found that Mary Jane had long been attracted by the prosperity here.
"How embarrassing that would be!"
She hurriedly refused.
This was just like writing an autobiography for oneself...
What normal person would write an autobiography?
On the other side, Mary Jane had not seen luxurious mansions before, but Li Chen's futuristic style still made her very interested.
However, she also knew that everything she saw represented US dollars.
It was impossible to afford living here without money.
Therefore, she became even more determined to follow Li Chen to Los Angeles and make something of herself!
If all else failed, she could also be kept by Li Chen...
"Master."
Seeing Li Chen and the others approaching, Ram immediately picked up a steaming hot White towel from the tray Rem was holding and handed it over.
Li Chen took it with satisfaction, wiped his hands, and then turned it over to cover his face for a moment.
The steaming towel pressed against his face seemed to wash away all the fatigue of the day.
Gwen and Mary Jane imitated Li Chen's actions and thanked them carefully: "Thank you."
Rem was very cold, but Ram showed a slight smile and nodded.
Gwen was still very interested in them, but this wasn't the place to talk.
Coming into the house, many things had been prepared.
What was bought outside earlier had also been delivered back and arranged in their respective places.
The home that was originally a bit empty now looked somewhat lively.
Psylocke inside the house saw Li Chen and almost dropped to the ground, but a glance from Li Chen made Psylocke steady her body.
Those who could be brought back by the Master were obviously the mistresses.
"She is Psylocke."
Li Chen introduced her without mentioning her identity.
Gwen had no choice but to nod at Psylocke.
"Master, what would you like to eat?"
Rem walked over and asked.
"Let's make some Chinese food. Gwen and MJ probably haven't had authentic ones."
Li Chen laughed.
America had things like Panda Express, but don't expect them to be very authentic.
After all, which family's Chinese food puts avocados in it?
Therefore, after trying it once, Li Chen never ate it again.
This kind of improved stuff wasn't meant for Chinese people to eat.
Gwen and Mary Jane didn't refuse; instead, they were very curious about Rem's cooking skills.
Afterward, Rem went to cook.
As for Li Chen, he went to get some wine out.
When buying the Villa, he had people prepare a lot of good wine.
Wine wasn't just for drinking, it could also be used for collection, and it could show one's taste and status.
Many rich people liked to have wine cabinets, not because they liked drinking that much, but because it gave them face.
Li Chen generally didn't drink alcohol, but in this situation, not bringing out wine would be a bit boring, and it was still good for setting the mood.
They had a small drink before dinner, and by the time Remfinished making dinner, they were already a bit tipsy.
"Come and try Rem's cooking."
Li Chen showed no signs of being tipsy; this bit of alcohol was digested the moment it entered his body.
Gwen and Mary Jane looked a bit flushed.
After tasting it, they said to Rem: "Rem, it's delicious."
Rem nodded indifferently; even though they might be the mistresses, she showed no signs of trying to please them.
"Rem has a relatively cold personality, you should know."
Li Chen said to Gwen.
Gwen smiled and didn't mind.
Afterwards, they ate and drank while talking. Two bottles of red wine went down; Gwen was still okay, but Mary Jane looked already drunk.
By the time they finished eating, Mary Jane directly lay down on the sofa.
Li Chen spoke up: "MJ can stay here to rest; anyway, there are plenty of rooms."
Gwen didn't notice anything unusual and nodded, saying: "Then I'll go back first."
"I'll see you off."
"You've been drinking, no way!"
Gwen immediately refused.
Her father was a police captain, and in America, the division of authority wasn't that clear; police officers were also responsible for checking drunk driving.
Therefore, influenced since childhood, Gwen still cared very much about rules.
Even if Li Chen could fly and looked like Superman, it was impossible for him to drive after drinking!
No matter what, the rules couldn't be broken!
"I can just take a cab myself."
Gwen said.
"Alright then, I'll walk you out."
Li Chen walked Gwen outside the courtyard, and when he came back, Mary Jane was already sitting on the sofa, looking completely normal except for a somewhat flushed face.
"Weren't you drunk?"
Li Chen showed a smile.
At this time, Ram and Rem had both withdrawn, and Psylocke had been staying in her own room without coming out.
"If I don't get drunk, how can there be an opportunity?"
Mary Jane had long been restless.
Without a second word, Li Chen picked her up over his shoulder and went straight to the Master bedroom.
Chapter 65 A Glance
After arriving in New York, Bruce Banner did not dare to act during the day.
He finally waited until night, bought a sandwich at a roadside store, and went straight to the address given by Dr. Blue.
He originally thought Dr. Blue's conditions were okay, but it was actually just living in an apartment.
This made Bruce Banner somewhat disappointed.
In this kind of place, there were certainly no conditions for doing research.
Under normal circumstances, he would have definitely felt something was wrong.
But now, he just wanted to no longer turn into Hulk, and the rationality in his heart was long gone.
He carefully checked his surroundings and did not find anything unusual.
In fact, several pairs of eyes were watching him in the dark.
The S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents were naturally not something a person like him who had not undergone specialized training could discover.
After confirming "safe", Bruce Banner then went up to the apartment building.
"Dang dang!"
He found Dr. Blue's room and knocked on the door.
The door opened cautiously.
"Bruce Banner?"
A head wearing glasses poked out from inside.
Just by the looks of it, Bruce Banner confirmed that the other party still had some knowledge.
Because Dr. Blue looked very much like a nerd at first glance.
"Dr. Blue?"
"Yes, come in."
Dr. Blue had an excited look on his face.
He learned about Bruce Banner's condition from the internet. He only knew that Bruce Banner's body was special, so he thought of a method, which was to draw blood from Bruce Banner.
In the Middle Ages, Europe already had bloodletting therapy.
People at that time believed that many diseases flowed in the blood, and through bloodletting, the diseases could be discharged to achieve a therapeutic effect.
He thought Bruce Banner's situation was the same; that monster must be hidden in his blood.
Even if not, by drawing blood, he could also study Bruce Banner's physical condition, and perhaps find a method?
Although Bruce Banner did not think it could solve the problem, he still wanted to give it a try.
He was already treating a dead horse as a live one.
Because before this, he had tried many methods, both scientific and unscientific ones.
But none of them were effective.
Therefore, Bruce Banner was already panicking and turning to any doctor he could find.
Therefore, even facing this kind of request, he did not refuse.
As long as he could stop turning into a monster, that would be enough.
"Then sit up there, I am starting."
Dr. Blue was very excited and eager to know what special changes had taken place on Bruce Banner.
After all, those were gamma rays; human beings simply could not withstand this kind of power.
But unexpectedly, Bruce Banner not only survived, but his body also underwent miraculous changes.
Just this point alone had immeasurable research value.
Bruce Banner certainly did not want to become a guinea pig, but he had no other choice.
He lay somewhat apprehensively on the hospital bed, letting Dr. Blue begin the operation.
Outside, the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents had already passed the message up.
"Ms. Hill, the target has entered."
"Continue observing."
Maria Hill's voice came over.
They just needed to watch Bruce Banner.
"Yes!"
Now they just hoped that no accidents would occur.
Maria Hill asked the other side: "Where are General Rossand his party?"
"They have already entered New York, and he even brought the army."
The on-duty Agent replied.
"Shit, he also knows it is very dangerous? What a lunatic."
Maria Hill's expression changed drastically.
They could not afford the cost of starting a war in New York.
But General Ross was clearly completely crazy.
Over the years, in order to hunt down the Hulk, he had paid a huge price.
Therefore, he now had sunk costs, and no one could possibly persuade him.
S.H.I.E.L.D. had no choice either, and could only find a way to help General Ross so that he could take the person away.
Soon, General Ross arrived in Manhattan by helicopter.
As soon as he got down, S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents came over directly.
"General, we have already helped you control Bruce Banner. Please take him and leave immediately."
By now, S.H.I.E.L.D. only had two choices.
Either help Bruce Banner escape, or help General Rosstake him down.
If they chose to help Bruce Banner escape, General Rosswould definitely go crazy in New York.
So they could only choose the latter.
General Ross didn't even look at the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents, and waved his hand saying: "Go bring him down."
His subordinates had been fighting the Hulk for a long time and harbored a lot of hatred for that green monster.
So they rushed up directly at this moment.
S.H.I.E.L.D.'s people had no choice but to clear away the surrounding onlookers and melon-eating crowds.
At this time, Bruce Banner had just finished drawing blood when Dr. Blue's apartment was forcibly breached.
"Hands on your head, don't move!"
"Don't move, behave yourself!"
The Soldiers nervously looked at Bruce Banner; if the other party turned into a monster now, they would be dead.
Fortunately, Bruce Banner's emotions were very stable. After all, he knew General Ross would definitely arrive at the first moment.
"I'll go with you."
Bruce Banner said.
Dr. Blue was directly knocked to the ground by the Soldiers and could do nothing. He could only watch Bruce Banner being taken away like an incompetent husband.
But not all Soldiers left; there was one who stayed behind.
Bronski looked at the blood that had just been drawn, and suddenly an idea was born.
What would happen if he injected this blood?
So, he grabbed Dr. Blue up: "Inject this blood into me."
"What? No, this will cause problems."
Dr. Blue immediately refused.
He grabbed Dr. Blue and slammed him against the wall: "This is not a discussion, it is an order."
How could the fragile Dr. Blue be Bronski's opponent?
He could only inject the blood into Bronski.
Bronski had long accepted the Super Soldier modification, and was even more eager for power than before, not caring about anything else.
...
On the other side, Gwen came outside the community, suddenly patted herself down, and couldn't find her phone.
She recalled, and it seemed to have been placed on the dining table.
Other things could be fetched tomorrow, but the phone could not.
Gwen had no choice but to turn back. If it weren't for George's request, she wouldn't want to go home at all.
After all, she and Li Chen hadn't seen each other for a long time, and had only clung to each other for a single day.
Let alone her, Li Chen was probably full of burning desire as well.
She immediately returned outside Li Chen's seaside Villa, but no one responded for a long time.
She had no choice but to climb over the wall, which gave her a feeling of being a thief. She just wanted to take the phone and leave, so she was walking on tiptoe somewhat.
But when she came to the living room, she heard a sound coming from not far away. Her ears were too sharp.
There was only Li Chen here, which made Gwen's face look somewhat bad.
And what made her feel wrong was, why was this sound somewhat familiar?
It seemed to be... MJ?
Possessed by some inexplicable impulse, she walked toward the source of the sound. The door was not closed, only half-ajar, clearly both of them were very urgent.
When Gwen walked over, Mary Jane, who was lying down with disheveled hair, happened to raise her head.
Their gazes locked together.
Chapter 66 Explosive News
"MJ!"
"You actually betrayed me, and you as well."
Gwen glared angrily at the two of them.
Mary Jane quickly defended herself, "It's not like that, Gwen, listen to me."
"Then get down first."
"You have to make Li stop."
Even though Mary Jane was thick-skinned, she died socially at this moment.
But Li Chen acted like nothing was wrong, without the slightest bit of embarrassment.
He pulled Gwen over in one go, "Gwen, why are you back?"
"I came to get my phone."
Gwen replied subconsciously, but quickly reacted, "If I hadn't come back, how would I have seen this scene? You two actually..."
"We drank too much."
Li Chen immediately explained, "MJ is the same."
What kind of explanation was that?
But Gwen actually calmed down a little bit.
Because she hadn't not thought about such a thing happening, it was even within her expectations.
Because only in this way would she and Mary Jane not be separated.
But even so, Gwen was still a little angry.
What made her angry was that the two of them did it secretly and didn't even tell her, considering she had even thought about it for them.
At this time, Li Chen patted Mary Jane on the back.
Mary Jane understood, immediately held Gwen down, and actively moved in.
"Mph!"
Gwen's eyes widened instantly.
"This is what you said, good sisters share one quilt."
Li Chen said with certainty.
...
General Ross grabbed Bruce Banner with satisfaction, and directly took him onto the plane to leave.
He actually knew that this was Manhattan, and it would be very dangerous if something went wrong.
Before, his blood was surging, and facing this hard-won opportunity, naturally he couldn't let it go.
Only after catching him did he feel lingering fear; if anything happened, his general career would be finished.
But by this time, the more one feared something, the more it would happen.
"Roar!"
Just as the plane took off, a monster's battle roar came from the end of Harlem.
General Ross immediately looked at Bruce Banner, who was sitting obediently and honestly in his seat.
Where did that sound come from?
He immediately looked out the window, only to see that Dr. Blue's apartment had been smashed open with a big hole, and on the street, a monster even uglier than Hulkseemed to have jumped right out from inside.
"What is this?"
General Ross was shocked in his heart, followed by a burst of despair: "It's over."
This is Manhattan!
Bruce Banner's heart also sank somewhat: "What kind of monster is this?"
"Could it be... Hulk's blood?"
He thought of the blood drawn out by Dr. Blue.
And General Ross couldn't care about that much anymore; even though Bronski was previously his best soldier, he had to eliminate him at this moment.
Because he had turned into a monster!
"Open fire!"
General Ross immediately ordered the troops he brought to open fire.
Fortunately, he brought quite a few people, and the flames of war erupted instantly at this moment.
Along with this were people's shouts.
Although Harlem was not a prosperous trade district, it was also an important street in Manhattan where many people lived.
At this moment, with the appearance of Abomination and the outbreak of war, it instantly cost many people their lives.
Most people didn't even have time to run before they were caught in the crossfire.
Only those with good luck managed to escape.
"Boom!"
An RPG blasted onto Abomination's body, but when the black smoke dissipated, Abomination hadn't suffered a single bit of damage.
This wasn't a comic book, but there was still no damage despite the smoke.
"Finished."
General Ross watched this scene, his heart gradually sinking.
America's army... was indeed a bunch of trash.
With so many advanced equipments, and even tanks, they were still smashed to pieces one by one by the monster Abomination.
Abomination withstood the machine gun strafing and the damage from RPGs like this, casually picked up cars on the ground as weapons, and beat America's army into disarray.
Let alone defending America, such an army would be considered to have backbone if they didn't surrender when the enemy arrived.
Of course, the military quality of America's army at this time was still considered not bad...
Ten-plus years later, it would be even more exaggerated.
In fact, Li Chen had discovered that America during this period was actually alright, without as many freaks and monsters as later on.
He figured it out upon a little thought: the reason Americafell so rapidly in just over a decade later on was actually because of a person coming to power.
That hero called 'Lucian', it was he who changed all this.
During his era, America rapidly promoted so-called 'happy education', attempting to pull the educational level of lower-class white people down to the level of his race.
It was also during this period that the later well-known LGBTQ developed rapidly, all kinds of freaks and monsters began to appear, and Hollywood, long serving as the vanguard of the donkey party, naturally gave its strong support.
Thus, people could see in movies that there must be black bros, and black bros couldn't be villains...
Of course, the most abstract thing was that more than a hundred genders were derived later on.
That's right, these were all thanks to 'Lucian'.
Viewed from this aspect, he led the entire America into the abyss, how could he not be a hero?
Only in Marvel World, it seemed this hero did not exist...
Therefore, America at this time was still somewhat watchable.
And the reaction speed was also very fast.
The sound of a helicopter came from not far away, and a beautiful blonde reporter, squatting on the helicopter, began doing live reporting.
She also didn't expect that she could temporarily COS a war zone reporter...
However, this was New York; they weren't afraid of the stakes being too big, only afraid of having no action.
Moreover, with such a big event happening, she wished it were as big as possible, so there was still a trace of excited flush on her face.
But at this moment on live television, she could only suppress her excitement and begin introducing things with a straight face.
"This is Fox Television, currently located in the Harlem of Manhattan, New York. As everyone can see, in the center of the street is an unknown monster..."
"Shit, dodge quickly!"
The female reporter was startled and immediately screamed at the top of her lungs.
Abomination was seen grabbing a car with both hands, directly smashing it toward the helicopter in the sky.
It was just that the helicopter pulled up fast enough, which was how it dodged it.
But even so, after the car fell down, it still exploded, smashing out a burst of flames.
This also served as a reminder to the television station's helicopter.
News was fine, but don't get too close.
At this moment, the eyes of all New York were attracted by this explosive news.
Fox Television instantly reaped the dividends.
And Bruce Banner couldn't wait any longer either; he unbuckled his seatbelt and said, "We must stop it."
General Ross seemed to age ten years in an instant, and did not stop Bruce Banner in the face of his words.
If it were before, Bruce Banner would be extremely important to him.
But what about after today?
Making such a huge commotion in Manhattan, someone had to take responsibility.
Moreover, his enemies were not few; they would definitely not let go of this opportunity.
Chapter 67 Saitama Can't Fly
"Roar!"
"Whoa, as everyone can see, there isn't just one monster now, but two."
The blonde female reporter was very dedicated; although she had almost been scared to the point of wetting herself just now, she hurriedly resumed her 'live commentary'.
For a reporter, this was basic professionalism.
And with this major news in Manhattan, almost the entire world saw her pretty face.
She became an overnight sensation.
On camera, another green monster descended from the sky, and it was none other than Hulk.
The female reporter didn't know, she simply judged: "It seems this green monster is on the good side; it's here to stop the gray monster, so let's all send text messages to vote and cheer for Hulk!"
"?"
Saitama was staring at the TV looking completely bewildered at that moment.
Wasn't this voting just a waste of mobile credit? Did they really expect the female reporter to jump down and fight the two monsters?
Well, even if she was 'gifted with extraordinary talents', she probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.
Therefore, Saitama quietly put away his phone.
He could tell that although this green monster was on the good side, it was clearly no match for Abomination.
Its head was practically beaten dizzy.
If no one stepped in, it would cause massive damage.
As it happened, having been in this world for a long time without throwing a punch, Saitama's hands were itching a bit.
Why did he strive so desperately to become stronger? Wasn't it just to protect the world?
Although it was a different world, that righteous heart of his hadn't changed at all.
He opened his suitcase and rummaged through it for his uniform.
The moment he put on his battle suit, his entire art style seemed to shift, becoming much sharper.
Afterward, he came out to the yard and gave a gentle hop...
Fun fact: Saitama couldn't fly; he just jumped really high.
Just like now, a gentle leap took him above the clouds.
"What was that sound?"
Inside the Villa, Gwen and Mary Jane, who were taking a halftime break, were startled.
"It's nothing."
Hearing Saitama's voice, Li Chen knew something had happened.
You must know that Saitama was a total slacker; unless something major happened, he would never leave on his own accord.
Since he had stepped in, something definitely must have happened.
He patted Mary Jane and said, "Go turn on the TV."
Mary Jane was lying on top of him, drawing circles on his chest. She couldn't help rolling her eyes at him, but she still obediently went to turn on the TV.
Seeing this, Gwen snatched back the territory she had lost.
"Oh yeah, Gwen."
Mary Jane immediately went to bully Gwen, and Gwenwas no match for her bold antics.
She was easily defeated by her in an instant.
However, they were quickly drawn in by what was on the TV.
As it turned out, every single channel that could be searched was broadcasting Fox News.
The footage on Fox News wasn't clear, and it was even a bit blurry because it was nighttime, looking almost as if it had been pixelated.
Even so, it still captured the attention of the entire world.
The camera angle kept shaking, but it always focused on the two monsters on the street.
This street in Harlem, Manhattan, had pretty much been destroyed, but the two monsters seemed hooked, continuing to attack each other with punch after bone-crushing punch.
"Shit! What is this?"
Mary Jane was dumbfounded.
Gwen also widened her eyes; they had never seen these two monsters before.
Furthermore, they had destroyed an entire street.
Gwen immediately looked up at Li Chen, wishing that their halftime break could turn into a full-match break.
However, Li Chen shook his head at her and reassured, "Don't worry."
"What?"
Mary Jane and Gwen both looked at him: "It's almost over."
"Over? But this green monster doesn't seem to be a match for the gray monster."
Mary Jane judged.
Gwen actually wanted to rush over, but she felt... she was no match for these two monsters.
This was far more terrifying than any guy she had faced before.
Could someone like Rhino compare to Abomination and Hulk?
"Yeah, what do we do? Can no one stop them?"
Gwen was also hinting to Li Chen; she would hold Mary Jane back and let Li Chen step in.
However, Li Chen simply gave them a pat, making a very crisp sound.
"You don't even believe my words?"
Let alone Abomination, even if an even more powerful monster came, it wouldn't be a match for that guy who did it as a hobby.
...
"Jarvis, what is going on here?"
Tony Stark was currently hammering away at the new generation of Iron Man Armor when he was interrupted by the news broadcasted by Jarvis.
"As you can see, Sir, these are two monsters fighting. According to data analysis, Hulk will lose."
Jarvis's voice remained elegant.
"But the green brute is standing on the side of justice."
Tony Stark immediately frowned.
"Indeed."
"Sir, you are needed to step in."
Jarvis suggested.
Tony Stark fell silent for a moment: "Jarvis, calculate the probability of the Iron Man Armor not being torn apart by this monster."
"The answer is 0, Sir."
"Then why are you telling me to go up!"
Tony Stark roared, but still put on the Iron Man Armor.
Ever since returning to New York, he had grown to love this feeling—the feeling of being a superhero.
Like a life mentor, upon seeing Tony continue to indulge himself, Yinsen admonished him and threatened him with departure.
This made Tony Stark rein in his focus and start working wholeheartedly.
After all, he had already announced to the entire worldthat he was Iron Man.
The whole world was watching his every move, which forced him to be a bit more careful, at least when it came to changing cover girls less frequently.
He still missed those models with explosive figures.
He had to admit, models were indeed more enjoyable than female celebrities.
"Even if I can't beat them, I still have to fight."
Tony Stark wanted to protect New York.
But right at that moment, Jarvis said: "Sir, it is detected that someone has arrived at the battlefield at an extreme speed."
"Someone?"
"Yes, it's a person."
...
"Director, what should we do now?"
At S.H.I.E.L.D., Nick Fury and Maria Hill were also feeling their scalps go numb.
"Our Agents... probably aren't a match for these two monsters."
"That is obvious, Agent Hill."
Nick Fury looked at the screen with a gloomy face, but if you looked closely, his hands were trembling.
Even the finest Black Widow probably wouldn't even be enough between these two monsters' teeth.
"Can we do nothing at all?"
Maria Hill looked at the Director.
Nick Fury said in a deep voice: "There are still things we can do, such as putting pressure on General Ross, letting those people sitting in the White House know that the world is changing."
"We must launch the Avengers Initiative as soon as possible."
As the exceptional King of Agents, Nick Fury was already thinking about how to secure benefits.
As for these monsters? They could only pin their hopes on Hulk.
Right at that moment, the female reporter's exclamation came from the TV: "Jesus Christ, what is this?"
"Viewers, just a moment ago, it seems like a person fell from the sky!"
Chapter 68: What Is a Comic Book Plot?
The blond female reporter was still chattering incessantly at this moment.
But in the next second, she saw an extremely fast figure falling from the sky and smashing directly onto the street.
"Boom!"
The extremely fast landing caused the earth to seem to tremble, and the street directly split open into a deep pit. The earth began to crack apart around this center, just like a grid.
Countless smoke and dust flew up, blocking everyone's vision.
Even Abomination and Hulk, who were beating each other up, stopped.
The camera immediately focused over, but amidst a cloud of dust, it was completely impossible to see what was happening inside.
It wasn't until a few seconds later that the dust filling the sky gradually settled on the ground.
Amidst the smoke of gunpowder, the first thing that appeared was a bit of 'flash'.
"Did you see it clearly?"
The female reporter widened her eyes: "It seems to be reflective! What is this? Could it be Iron Man?"
She leaned closer to the camera to take a look, only to realize that it wasn't Iron Man's armor reflecting light at all, but a bald head!
This bald head was as round as an egg. As he slowly emerged from the dust, Saitama's full appearance was gradually revealed.
He wore a Superman-like suit, but he was completely bald, and his entire art style was very'sharp', with a resolute expression that showed at a glance he was not to be messed with.
At this moment, everyone around the world widened their eyes and stared at the televisions and screens.
"Saitama, this is Saitama!"
Many people recognized him immediately. Isn't this fucking protagonist from the comic book?
Although one is a comic and one is a Real person, this outfit cannot be wrong; it is simply identical!
But those who recognized Saitama were actually a small minority.
After all, comics are niche to begin with, and having just come out not long ago, it naturally couldn't reach a very popular level.
It was only relatively well-known among a crowd of comic enthusiasts.
And throughout North America, these people were a minority, let alone the world.
Therefore, more people had no idea who Saitama was.
Tony Stark immediately asked Jarvis: "Who is this? I want to know his situation immediately!"
After all, before this, Saitama had never appeared.
Tony Stark doubted whether there was something wrong with him or if there was something wrong with the world.
Ever since he publicly announced that he was Iron Man, the whole world seemed to be different...
All kinds of supervillains emerged endlessly, and superheroes gradually appeared.
For example, the popular Ghost Spider in New Yorkrecently.
Before he announced he was Iron Man, why hadn't he heard of such a person?
And now, such a perverted freak had appeared.
Jarvis didn't even need to think deeply, and immediately replied: "Sir, this is Saitama."
"Saitama?"
Tony Stark frowned: "Why is this name a bit strange?"
"Because this is a place name in the island nation."
Jarvis replied: "He first appeared in the first episode of 'one-punch man'. He was originally an ordinary person who doubted the future because of his weakness during his student days. After entering society, he quickly fell into a state of unemployment, but after fighting the crab monster, he suddenly worked hard to improve."
Tony Stark felt like he was listening to a story, but it was quite interesting, so he asked: "And then?"
"Then, he insisted on 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and a 10-kilometer run every day, and he couldn't turn on the air conditioner no matter how hot it was. Subsequently, his body underwent changes, breaking his limiter and becoming the most powerful one-punch man in the world."
Jarvis's tone was very emotional, with all kinds of ups and downs, making Tony Stark a bit intoxicated.
So Tony subconsciously asked: "Can this really work?"
"According to scientific calculations, no."
Jarvis said indifferently.
Just kidding, even if it works, only Teacher Saitama can do it.
"Then you made up these stories to lie to me?"
Tony Stark reacted immediately.
Because his sense of immersion was not high.
First of all, he was a top student in his student days, and he almost always bullied others...
Weak? Non-existent.
Not to mention being unemployed after entering society.
Therefore, Tony Stark had no sense of immersion at all in this kind of plot.
If it were a playboy who became stronger after experiencing setbacks, usually surrounded by beauties, he might have a bit more sense of immersion.
"Sir, these plots all come from the comic book 'one-punch man', I didn't make them up."
Jarvis said very gentlemanly: "It's just that I saw you were engrossed in listening, so I said so much."
"Shit!"
"What is called a comic plot?"
Tony was starting to doubt his life.
He immediately brought up 'one-punch man', and what the hell, it actually was a comic?
No? Why does this look almost identical?
Is he cosplaying a comic character, or was the comic drawn based on him?
Tony had no way of knowing, but it erupted with the strongest interest.
"Jarvis, which company published this comic?"
"Starlight Pictures."
...
Meanwhile, at S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, Nick Fury and Maria Hill also widened their eyes.
When they saw Saitama appear, they couldn't help looking at each other in dismay.
"Agent Hill, do you know him?"
"I don't know."
Maria Hill recalled for a moment and honestly shook her head.
S.H.I.E.L.D. paid attention to supernatural humans all over the world, but had never seen this... bald head.
Maria Hill glanced at Nick Fury beside her, thinking it seemed even smoother than his head.
Moreover, one was White and one was black, one was an egg, and one was Braised Egg.
As if perceiving Maria Hill's gaze, Nick Fury looked over deeply with one eye.
Maria Hill immediately became alert and turned her head back.
Openly looking at a superior's bald head was definitely not good.
However... why do strong people all keep bald heads?
"Hurry up and find out who he is. I want to see all his information tomorrow."
Nick Fury snorted coldly.
Agent Hill's gaze was simply too offensive.
"Yes."
Maria Hill felt bitter in her heart.
Even for S.H.I.E.L.D., conducting a comprehensive investigation on someone completely unknown required a lot of time.
But Nick Fury was clearly angry now.
Of course, if she turned her head back now, she would find that Nick Fury revealed an interested gaze.
The world was becoming more and more dangerous, but at the same time, many'superheroes' had appeared.
Apart from that arrogant prick Tony Stark, there were many other people he could choose from.
And it seemed that this bald head was extraordinary.
Nick Fury was naturally fond of bald heads, and at this moment, he stared at the screen with even more relish.
As the smoke and dust dissipated, Abomination finally reacted.
"Roar!"
On the screen, Abomination knocked down Hulk and roared toward Saitama's direction.
Because no matter what, it never expected that the one who dared to come and provoke it was actually an ordinary human!
Without a doubt, this made Abomination feel offended, and it was going to tear this weak guy to shreds.
Chapter 69 Saitama KO Abomination
"Roar!"
In Abomination's worldview, big meant strong, and strong meant big!
Therefore, seeing such a short guy like Saitama standing in front of it and 'provocatively' looking at it with an indifferent expression made Abomination extremely angry.
Ignoring Hulk entirely, it casually grabbed a car and smashed it toward Saitama.
"Bang!"
Saitama didn't dodge, simply throwing a calm punch.
The car was smashed to pieces by his single punch instantly.
Even to professional boxers, this punch lacked any technical skill whatsoever.
But just this single punch thrilled countless comic readers who recognized Saitama.
"It really is Saitama. Look, that's a Serious Punch."
"Shit, that's clearly a normal punch."
"Saitama's art style changes when he uses Serious Punch!"
"Just you watch, this gray monster definitely won't be able to withstand a Serious Punch!"
Compared to the comic fans' revelry, the people at Fox Television were anxious to death.
None of them recognized Saitama, and after searching for a long time, they still had no idea who he was.
It wasn't until much later that an executive spotted Saitama in his son's comics, but that was long after.
At the scene, everything happened in a flash.
Abomination didn't hesitate at all; seeing the car smashed apart, it immediately began accelerating.
"Thump, thump, thump!"
It stood over two meters tall, yet it looked several times larger than Saitama.
Leaving no doubt that it could easily tear Saitama to pieces.
Every step it took felt like it was treading on people's hearts, making the Earth tremble.
But anyone who knew Saitama knew that among the monsters he faced, Abomination could only be considered 'petite'.
In nature, an animal's strength depended on its size, but things were different here.
Abomination roared, and driven by acceleration, its huge Iron Fist smashed down toward Saitama.
Many people watched in a cold sweat, having no doubt that this punch would smash a person into meat paste.
But Saitama also raised his fist.
"Normal Punch!"
His eyes instantly turned fierce, and his entire facial expression changed. Facing Abomination's attack, he threw just a single punch.
"Boom!"
The two fists collided head-on.
Compared to Abomination's massive Iron Fist, Saitama's fist looked like a small sandbag, seeming like an egg striking a stone—as if trying to smash a rock with an egg.
But to the world's shock, the egg smashed the rock to pieces!
"Crack!"
The moment they collided, Abomination let out a wail as its arm was directly fractured by Saitama's punch.
The next second, under the immense force, Abominationflew backward out of control.
Like a launched missile, it directly 'crashed' into an apartment building, punching a huge hole through it.
"Shit!"
Who knows how many people expressed exclamation. A bald guy who looked so thin and small had actually knocked a monster flying with a single punch?
But they didn't know what Saitama was thinking at the moment.
"It has some strength."
Saitama thought to himself, "It actually didn't shatter from one punch."
Even so, Abomination couldn't get back up.
With just a single punch, it was KO'd.
On the other side, Hulk trembled upon seeing this scene.
"Roar!"
Hulk's youthful mind was traumatized. Seeing Saitamalook over, he was unwilling to admit defeat and let out a cry.
But the voice sounded just like a kitten; although it sounded loud, it was full of fear and not scary at all.
"Never mind you."
Saitama put away his fist; he didn't fight monsters with no fighting spirit.
Besides, this green giant looked somewhat human, not a pure monster.
He glanced at Abomination, confirmed that the opponent couldn't crawl up, and prepared to leave.
Fox Television's helicopter immediately landed. Ignoring Hulk still standing aside, the female reporter shouted loudly, "Excuse me... Superman, can I interview you?"
She really had no idea who Saitama was, so she could only shout like that.
However, Saitama waved his hand, indicating he had no interest.
Especially with the camera pointed at him, which made him somewhat unaccustomed.
He was somewhat socially anxious by nature.
Seeing that Saitama was about to run, the female reporter immediately shouted, "Can you tell everyone your name? And why you are doing this!"
She wished she could jump straight down from the helicopter and hug Saitama's thigh to keep him from leaving.
But she wasn't a superhero; being so high off the ground, her legs were shaking.
Fortunately, Saitama left behind a sentence at that moment: "No reason, I just do it for fun."
Finished speaking, he directly kicked off with both legs and flew... leaped away.
He just jumped a little higher.
Just jumping from Earth to the moon, that's all.
Seeing the great demon king leave, Hulk also snapped back to reality and immediately took to his heels.
But for the entire world, the shock had only just begun.
Fox Television's female reporter was somewhat annoyed, but she quickly adjusted her mood: "We all heard it. He said he just does it for fun. Um, what an interesting person, but he is undoubtedly a hero, a hero of New York!"
"Today, neither Iron Man nor Ghost Spider rushed to the scene. It was this hero for fun who saved New York!"
She also dissed Iron Man, making Tony Stark's expression look somewhat unsightly.
He really wanted to go too; wasn't it because he knew he couldn't beat it?
"Jarvis, I must build a suit that can beat this kind of monster!"
From this moment on, Tony Stark had a completely new idea.
Li Chen, this butterfly from another world, had indeed brought an impact to this world.
As for Ghost Spider? She was already hyped up from watching and immediately pulled Li Chen to start another round.
"Things having come to this, let's go take a look at that gray monster."
For some reason, the blonde female reporter seemed to have gotten addicted to being a war correspondent and immediately signaled the cameraman to follow her.
Then her legs stepped lightly, while the cameraman's legs were shaking somewhat.
Are you kidding me? It's just broadcasting live news, is there any need to risk your life like this?
But the higher-ups of the television station in the earpiece were excited and urged him to follow immediately.
This was an exclusive scoop!
One could imagine that the blonde female reporter was going to get a promotion and a raise.
In the headset, the station's executives also assured him that as long as he finished this filming, they would give him a raise.
Of course, the premise was returning alive.
Driven by heavy rewards, courageous men will appear; with trembling legs, he carried the camera and ran in.
Then, they filmed what Abomination looked like.
"Is this that gray monster?"
"How... pitiful."
The blonde reporter wore a look of astonishment, her mouth wide enough to stuff something in.
Abomination was paralyzed as if beaten straight into disability, one of its arms lying limply on the ground, starting to doubt its monster career.
Bronski's personality had taken the upper hand. He hadn't injected Hulk's blood just to get beaten up...
But reality was just that cruel: out of nowhere, some short guy had run out and crippled it with a single punch.
Chapter 70: He likes a good ending
The appearance of Abomination shocked the entire world, but the live broadcast quickly came to an end.
Because official personnel had arrived.
Coulson handed over the FBI documents with a smile on his face, intending to take Abomination away directly.
By the time they loaded Abomination into the vehicle, George Stacy finally brought his men over.
"It's you guys again?"
George Stacy looked at Coulson and said, "Why does the FBI stick its nose into everything lately?"
"This is for homeland security."
Coulson looked calm.
George Stacy was somewhat puzzled, but truly had no way around it.
He was merely a captain, able only to watch like an impotent husband as the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents dragged Abomination away.
Moreover... even if their New York Police Department kept Abomination, it would be useless.
It might even cause greater casualties.
"In the future, we can cooperate to take down any supervillains."
Coulson said to George Stacy.
With the appearance of Ghost Spider and Iron Man, the world is undergoing massive changes.
Not to mention the newly appeared Saitama...
Coulson felt somewhat melancholy. Just at that moment, he heard some officers discussing Saitama.
"That bald freak from just now, I know who he is."
A female officer laughed and said, "My son read this comic before, and I can confirm that he is Saitama."
"Saitama?"
Coulson's heart stirred.
One thing was certain: when the sun rose again, Saitamawould become a worldwide sensation.
177A Bleecker Street, not far from Harlem, looked like an ordinary building.
But in reality, only sorcerers knew that this was the renowned New York Sanctum Sanctorum.
Right on the top floor of the Sanctum Sanctorum, another bald sorcerer was intently watching the place where the battle had just taken place.
Hanging around her neck was the Eye of Agamotto, which was currently emitting a green glow.
"Sorcerer Supreme?"
The honest and simple Wong walked up behind her: "Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"
As an exceptional sorcerer, he had never seen such a perverted freak.
Watching the Sorcerer Supreme share the'same hairstyle' as that person, he couldn't help falling into deep thought.
Could it be that to become stronger, one must first go bald?
Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One turned her head, gave him a faint glance, and then put on her hood.
"He likes a good ending."
Leaving behind those words, she opened a Portal and returned to Kamar-Taj.
"Happy ending?"
Hearing those two words, Wong also felt much more at ease.
He just didn't know who this "he" was.
...
Tonight, a vast number of people across the world couldn't sleep.
Only Li Chen's side was entirely different.
He didn't seem to notice that he had influenced the world, or rather, he simply didn't care.
Coming to this world, his purpose was to make some changes; otherwise, wouldn't his transmigration have been in vain?
Of course, the most important thing was that his strength and status were already completely different.
On the surface, he only owned Starlight Pictures, but in reality, he also had the help of the Hellfire Club. Besides, if push came to shove, he could simply flip the table and tell the whole world: "I don't eat beef."
Therefore, he put all his attention on Gwen and Mary Jane.
He had to make them yield, so that his future days would be easier.
Otherwise, if Gwen still had the energy by tomorrow, he would be the unlucky one.
As for Gwen, who had read the one-punch man comic, she was actually full of questions.
But right now, she couldn't make a single sound.
...
Because America spanned such a vast area, Los Angeleswas three hours behind New York.
This was the time zone gap between the West Coast and the East Coast.
Therefore, when this world-shaking battle broke out in New York, Los Angeles was still in prime time, right around eight or nine in the evening.
As a thriving new company, most of the staff at Starlight Pictures and the veterans of MGM chose to work overtime.
Of course, that was because working overtime paid well.
Thus, Caitlin, the head of the animation department, witnessed this scene right in her office.
Doubting her life, she picked up the one-punch man comic magazine on her desk.
Did the comic descend into reality? Or was this world itself a comic...
She couldn't tell, she really couldn't tell anymore!
"Beep, beep, beep!"
At that moment, the phone on her desk rang. As soon as she picked it up, she heard her secretary's panicked voice.
"BOSS, FBI Agents are here, and they want to see you."
Caitlin panicked as well, but she had no idea what to do.
She looked downstairs—good grief, the company was surrounded, making escape impossible.
Unless she was Tornado...
"Let them up."
After all, Caitlin was a Hollywood elite; instead of triggering bottom-layer code and screaming, she forced herself to calm down and said.
She quickly hung up the phone and then called her boss.
Li Chen was the one who had them draw all this!
Fortunately, Li Chen answered the phone quickly and learned of her situation.
"Don't panic. Just say you don't know anything and put all the blame on me."
Li Chen had no intention of letting his employees take the fall.
After hanging up, he called the White Queen.
"Emma, the time to use your connections has arrived."
White Queen Emma also knew about what happened in New York, but she hadn't expected it to be related to Li Chen.
"Is he your man? Is he a Mutant?"
Emma Frost immediately became interested.
"Not everyone with a superpower is a Mutant, Emma."
Li Chen took a deep breath and said.
However, as if hearing a faint, indistinct sound over the phone, she immediately knew what Li Chen was doing.
"Shit."
Emma Frost cursed softly and then hung up the phone.
However, she didn't have much emotional fluctuation; she and Li Chen were just in an ambiguous relationship, which didn't stop Li Chen from seeking out other people.
The social ethos here was very open, much like Hollywood. As long as a celebrity wasn't married, they could do whatever they wanted, and no one would blame you.
But if they were married and messing around everywhere, they would face immense social pressure.
Of course, this 'lenient' value system only applied to male celebrities.
Female celebrities were different, because regardless of right or wrong in such matters, the blame would ultimately be dumped on the woman, who would face enormous condemnation and abuse.
This was the rule of Hollywood: men dominated everything.
Having stayed in Los Angeles for so long, the White Queen had long since been brainwashed by this set of 'patriarchal' norms, so she didn't have any other thoughts and instead began making calls to bail people out.
At this moment, the Hellfire Club exerted its influence.
Scarcely had the FBI taken people away when countless phone calls bombarded them.
In the end, Caitlin suffered no harm whatsoever and was quickly released.
After all, this matter truly had nothing to do with her.
Afterwards, the FBI was left helpless; they wanted to find Li Chen, but didn't dare to.
Because Li Chen's identity finally surfaced at this moment—he was a member of the Hellfire Club.
The members of the Hellfire Club were either high-ranking officials or wealthy tycoons, holding immense influence over the entire world.
The Illuminati, which many people theorized about in conspiracy theories, probably couldn't even compare to the Hellfire Club.
