Ten days later, inside the Li's Group laboratory.
"I still think it's better not to add my name; it will bring a lot of trouble to the company."
Banner said to Li Chuan with some concern.
When the Golden Pill was first released, everyone actually didn't believe the miraculous effects described at the press conference, but when some late-stage cancer patients tried taking it and confirmed they were truly cured, the entire World went completely insane.
The first batch of Golden Pill produced was snapped up, and those who were slow to react due to disbelief were filled with regret.
There were even many wealthy individuals and high-ranking officials from all over the United States, suffering from cancer or having relatives afflicted by it, who found the Li's Group's representatives in various locations through various means, offering all sorts of conditions, just hoping to get priority purchase rights when the next batch of Golden Pill was produced.
The New York headquarters was no exception; Jack was approached by a senator four days ago because the senator's wife had late-stage cancer, and the Doctor had told him she might not live for more than half a year.
Actually, the senator's first choice was naturally Chairman Li Chuan, but Li Chuan was too lazy to meet him and let Jack handle it.
He also refused to meet any reporters from major media outlets who swarmed to interview him, leaving all of it to Jack.
Except for the one press conference he attended when he first arrived in New York, he hadn't appeared in public since, mainly because as Li's Group grew larger and larger, he would sooner or later become as well-known as Tony.
This would also have a certain impact on his and Wanda's daily lives.
In the current situation, the media can at most only find some old photos of him in public, and if he changes his hairstyle, slightly adjusts his clothing, plus some changes in appearance as he ages, it's not that easy to recognize him.
People in the community who saw his old photos in the news would at most think that the famous Chairman of Li's Group looked somewhat similar to him in the community, but they wouldn't think they were the same person.
Especially since Asians tend to see Europeans as looking very similar, and Europeans also find it relatively difficult to distinguish and remember Asians.
"It's bound to happen sooner or later. You can't always hide like a criminal; you also need to live like a normal person. I'm sure Dr. Betty also hopes to walk down the aisle with you openly."
Li Chuan patted Banner's shoulder.
Because of the outstanding effects of the Golden Pill, Dr. Stern, as the primary researcher, could naturally achieve his dream and be nominated for a Nobel Prize, leaving his name in history.
And Dr. Banner, Dr. Betty, and Dr. Ethan, who also contributed significantly, would also be recorded in the annals of biology as important assistants.
But Dr. Banner was afraid of attracting General Ross and hoped Li Chuan would remove his name, including not appearing in any news reports, as he simply didn't care about fame and fortune as much as Dr. Stern.
"I think—"
Banner tried to speak again but was interrupted by Li Chuan's raised hand:
"Dr. Banner, don't worry. I know you're concerned about General Ross, but even if General Ross comes, he won't be able to take you from here. No one can take any employee of Li's Group without my permission, not even the President."
Not to mention that Li's Group had already connected with many high-level government officials because of the Golden Pill, even without their help, Li Chuan had absolute confidence in protecting Banner.
Because his main quest's medium completion was achieved this morning.
The second batch of Golden Pill was officially released worldwide the day before yesterday, and as of this morning, the system had recognized Li's Group's assets as being on par with Stark Industries.
In other words, he could enter the Wizard World of 'fantastic beasts and where to find them' at any time.
And when he returns from that World with magic, if General Ross is unwilling to let Banner go, he wouldn't mind giving General Ross an Obliviate to make General Ross completely forget Dr. Banner's existence.
"Alright then, I just hope this won't put you in a difficult position."
Seeing Li Chuan's confident expression, Banner finally chose to believe him. After all, Li Chuan wasn't the kind of person who liked to boast, so since he was so confident, he must have some certainty.
At the same time, he was deeply moved. Li Chuan was willing to take such a big risk to let him live a normal life. Such a boss was truly beyond words.
How could he not want to return to a normal life? It's just that unless the green gene in his body was completely resolved, General Ross would not let him go. Being able to live as he did now, he already felt very good.
"General, Bruce Banner has been found!"
Inside a Military Base in Washington, an aide rushed into General Ross's office with a newspaper.
"How dare he! To hide so openly in New York!"
Ross took the newspaper from the aide's hand, looking at the report about the Golden Pill and Li's Group, as well as the introduction and photo of Bruce Banner among the Golden Pill researchers below, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
During this time, he had never given up searching for Banner and his daughter.
But because they no longer had the help of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s logistics department, it was difficult for them to find traces of the two people worldwide.
He just didn't expect that Banner hadn't left the United States but had gone to New York and even appeared openly in the newspaper. This was simply too disrespectful to him.
"General, what do we do now? Do we directly deploy to New York for the arrest?"
The aide asked.
Ross crumpled the newspaper into a ball and threw it into the trash can, pacing back and forth in the General's office a few steps before finally looking at the aide:
"Go find Colonel Emil Bronski!"
The previous arrest operation in Virginia had already made the higher-ups very dissatisfied with him.
Now, it was not good to deploy troops on a large scale for an arrest operation, and the company where Banner was located, Li's Group, was currently the most prosperous enterprise.
If it wasn't handled well, it would be very troublesome if it caused a large number of media reports.
Crucially, Bruce Banner was not technically a criminal, and there was no way to follow normal legal procedures to convict him.
The Military's research into the Super Soldier Serum causing experimental problems was something that could not be brought into the open or made known to the public.
Previously, Bruce Banner was alone, so he could naturally just convict him and arrest him.
But now, Bruce Banner was a researcher at Li's Group, a key participant in the development of the Golden Pill, and a colleague of a Nobel laureate. It would be impossible to take him away openly again.
So, after much thought, he still felt that a secret arrest would be better.
He would have Emil Bronski, who had already been injected with the Super Soldier Serum and whose physique had greatly improved, take the most elite assault team from the Military and go directly to New York to secretly arrest Banner and bring him back to the Base.
