"I'm getting a stye, I'm getting a stye."
"Seriously!"
"In broad daylight, he's still wrestling intimately with Pepper!"
"Damn it!"
"What's even more outrageous is that to prolong the time, that guy even turned himself into energy!"
"Seriously!"
"How shameless!"
"Truly shameless!"
Muttering curses, Michael closed his [Super Vision]; if he kept watching, he would really get a stye. "However,"
"The aesthetic of Westerners is just… different."
"Pepper has so many 'dots' on her face, I don't know how Tony can stand it."
"She's like this when she's young; what will happen when she's old and has age spots?"
"Ugh!"
"Forget it, forget it."
"No more of that."
He shivered, as if he had seen something horrific, and Michael shook his head, banishing the images from his mind… Speaking of which, Earth, where the Group was located, rarely saw good weather on normal days. Today, it was as if the clear, sunny skies had come specifically to welcome Michael's return.
In fact, ever since both the Group and Stark Industries heavily promoted clean energy, even major international cities like New York had only just begun to frequently see the Sun.
Smog, after all, wasn't something exclusive to the Ancient Eastern Country; when it was severe, the American Federation could just as easily keep you from seeing sunlight all year long! Next, Michael lay on the luxurious, soft sofa on the top floor, basking in the comfortable sunlight, quietly watching the clouds drift by… Time quietly slipped away, like a mischievous child, vanishing in a flash.
Patter, patter… A series of footsteps sounded, and the person Michael was waiting for finally arrived. "You sent for me?"
With a hint of surprise on his face, Bruce Banner, with his fiery red hair, quickly approached Michael.
"Snap!" "Sit."
He snapped his fingers, and Bruce Banner found that a tea table had appeared in front of him, with a tea set and a pot of fragrant green tea. "Uh…"
"Thank you."
Bruce Banner paused for a moment, then immediately recovered, pulled up a chair, and sat down obediently, sipping his tea and quietly awaiting the Great One's instructions.
Having been under Michael's command for some time, Bruce Banner had grown accustomed to the tea drinks of the Ancient Eastern Country.
It could even be said that, to cater to the Great One's preferences, the entire Group, from top to bottom, had subtly begun to drink tea.
The entire Ancient Eastern Country inexplicably discovered that, at some point, their tea culture had become globally popular. Later, due to the Interstellar Group, it even rapidly spread and became popular throughout the entire known Universe… "Oh."
"Banner, when did you dye your hair red?"
Slowly sipping his clear tea, Michael finally looked at Bruce Banner, preparing to tell him what to do next.
But when Michael's gaze fell upon Bruce Banner, Michael was startled.
The Bruce Banner in his memory, the Dr. with the image of an elegant scholar, had, at some unknown point, disappeared. The Bruce Banner now in front of Michael was dressed in a fiery punk style, and even the hair on his head was fiery red.
This was no elegant scholar; this was completely an anti-social, non-mainstream hooligan! "Hehe."
Perhaps surprised by Michael's astonishment, Bruce Banner chuckled, still somewhat retaining the honest appearance he had before becoming a magic user.
"No, I really didn't dye it."
"It should be because I'm cultivating Fire Magic."
"I don't know when it changed."
"But it really just turned this color on its own."
Bruce Banner shrugged helplessly; he hadn't really paid much attention to the issue himself.
By the time Bruce Banner noticed, his hair had already completely turned fiery red.
However, perhaps because he was cultivating Fire Magic, Bruce Banner himself didn't mind his hair color; in fact, he rather liked it, and had even deliberately grown it long.
He just wanted that ethereal feeling when casting spells; Bruce Banner thought it looked absolutely cool! "Uh."
"Alright."
"As long as you like it, it's fine even if it turns green."
Michael was only slightly stunned and didn't pay much attention.
However, Michael clearly felt that Bruce Banner's personality had undergone a significant change.
Or rather, after cultivating Fire Magic, especially after gaining experience in the Polar Star Territory, his image had changed drastically from his previous scholar-like demeanor.
If the previous Bruce Banner was timid and somewhat indecisive in his actions, then the current Bruce Banner could definitely be described as brave and decisive.
Especially after his experience as an interstellar mercenary in the Universe, the current Bruce Banner acts with absolute swiftness and precision… "The reason I called you back this time…"
"Is mainly because Skye and the others have been transferred to Xandar, and there aren't many high-level executives here, so I was planning to have you manage the Earth Group."
"But seeing your current state, I can give you another choice."
"I will soon have a large group of Super Soldiers under my command."
"However, these Super Soldiers lack combat experience. If you are willing, you can lead them to form an interstellar mercenary legion and gain valuable experience in the Universe."
"In other words, two choices."
"One, manage all affairs of the Group on Earth."
"Two, lead three million Super Soldiers, form an interstellar mercenary legion, and conquer the Universe!"
"You can think about it carefully."
Seeing the greatly changed Bruce Banner, Michael temporarily changed his mind and spoke.
