"Kill... kill that monster!"
A shout drew everyone's attention to Hulk.
"Shrine Maiden, save him!" From a distance, Tang called out to the Shrine Maiden. If Bruce Banner died or was taken away by the authorities, his mission in New York would be ruined.
At the same time, the fear he had experienced during the journey would be for nothing.
The Shrine Maiden remained unmoved. She had been paid to ensure the safety of the siblings in New York, but that was all—just their safety. Everything else—
"One million dollars!" Tang gritted his teeth, knowing that this money-hungry witch wouldn't act without cash. Fortunately, he still had plenty of money.
Through these recent events, he had learned a valuable lesson: without money, life was hard to protect; with money, one could become powerful!
Even an ordinary person could become strong as long as they had money to spend!
"Deal!" At the lure of money, the indifferent Shrine Maiden finally moved. She pulled out several talismans from her robe and began chanting ancient Spirit Words. In an instant, the talismans flew from her palm, forming an inverted triangle shape.
"Inugami Takagami, your Shrine Maiden sincerely requests—
Let the dawn of exorcism manifest here! O divine power of steel, assist me in vanquishing Evil God and Hundred Demons."
As the Spirit Words were spoken, divine light erupted. A white glow surged from the center of the talisman, enveloping the nearly lifeless Hulk in an instant.
The sudden change startled the ordinary people nearby, causing them to retreat in confusion. Even though they didn't understand what was happening, they sensed that this transformation was not a good sign. As they rushed toward Hulk to express their dissatisfaction, those who charged forward quickly found themselves retreating just as fast.
“Roar! Roar! Roar!”
Bruce Banner was feeling frustrated. Just as he was about to break free from his rage, a mysterious beam of light enveloped him, and that damned thing got excited again, bouncing around as if it had been injected with adrenaline.
In the ruins, amidst countless massive figures, this scene left many people breathless, their eyes filled with sheer terror.
Its blood-red gaze swept across the surroundings, seemingly not detecting any threatening presence. Confused, it shook its head and leaped several dozen meters into the air, racing toward the outskirts.
Sirens blared all around as armed helicopters whirled overhead with a deafening roar.
— A monster chase was unfolding in the city!
Watching this scene, Tang wore a dazed expression, questioning whether the one hundred thousand US dollars he spent was truly worth it.
…
Meanwhile, during Monster Teacher's rapid movement, Chen Fan returned to the villa he hadn't seen in a while. This was a large villa built on an independent hill, a true model among the wealthy.
In early spring, the mountains were swaying with lush greenery.
As Chen Fan descended from the sky, the mountain suddenly underwent drastic changes. Countless plants categorized as crops became excited; those that usually took time to grow just a centimeter shot up by an inch in an instant under a grand aura.
“Chen Fan, I must take my leave now. The next class starts in five minutes! As a People's Teacher, I cannot be late!” After dropping Chen Fan off in front of the villa, Monster Teacher mumbled before soaring off toward the Island Nation.
If it weren't for his lack of energy, Chen Fan would have wanted to complain a bit.
After verifying Chen Fan's identity, the smart AI in the villa slowly opened the door, and the boy's figure vanished from the entrance.
The Maid Sister had been called away by Chen Fan's mother a while ago, leaving Chen Fan alone in the villa. There was no one else around, not even a pet. Well, if 007 counted as a pet, then he had one!
As a super artificial intelligence, 007 had the ability to be summoned at any time; as long as there was internet access, she could appear anywhere.
The defense System that certain organizations prided themselves on was nothing but trash in 007's eyes, easily broken with just a light poke.
"007, activate the villa's defense System. Ignore anyone without authorization. After three warnings, feel free to attack!" This was the command Chen Fan issued before falling asleep. Both J.A.R.V.I.S. and 007 had left backend software on his phone.
"Command received, beginning execution!" 007 responded coldly, her voice echoing throughout the villa and also resonating in the S.H.I.E.L.D. Research Department.
"007, what are you doing?" In the Research Department, Minister Foli, who was studying the Thunder Book, felt a jolt of anxiety. The more he researched it, the more he understood the weapon's terrifying nature.
With human technology, there was no way to inflict even the slightest damage on the Thunder Book; after all, it was crafted from Elman Alloy!
"007 has received orders from Aser and is about to leave. Mr. Buddhism Principles, please open the laboratory door!" 007 manifested herself, her petite form floating in mid-air, her delicate hand grasping the shimmering book.
"Alright, I'll open it for you right away!" Without hesitation, Minister Foli opened the laboratory door, releasing the Thunder Book while wearing a reluctant expression. He waved goodbye: "Safe travels, 007... Remember to send my regards; our Research Department will always stand behind you!"
As the Thunder Book flew out of the laboratory, layers of doors at the base opened one after another, allowing 007 to leave S.H.I.E.L.D. without obstruction.
"Minister? Didn't the Director order us not to let the Thunder Book leave?" a senior researcher asked, drawing attention from others.
"Are you all out of your minds with this research?" Minister Foli scoffed. "Our Research Department is independent; even the President can't arbitrarily interfere with our decisions. With Nick Fury's scowling face, why should we listen to him?"
"Want to seal off the Thunder Book? Hmph! The door to our laboratory is not made of Elman Alloy!" Buddhism Principles said angrily, pointing at the heads scattered throughout the department, mocking, "And one more thing, have you developed a defense system that can withstand an Electromagnetic Pulse yet?"
The Minister's words left everyone in silence. They turned away and went back to their tasks, completely indifferent to the incident of letting the Thunder Book escape.
Once an Electronic Pulse was unleashed, there would be no usable instruments left in the Research Department. For researchers who valued their equipment more than their lives, it was akin to watching their wife die in their arms. Thus, they directed their dissatisfaction towards Nick Fury—
The grudge of a slain wife cannot be shared!
At that moment, Nick Fury, who was already resented by the entire Research Department for the incident, was listening with irritation to his subordinate's report about the Thunder Book's escape.
Just then, a hurried agent rushed into the office, catching Nick Fury's attention. He glanced over; agents who could freely enter his office needed at least Level Eight clearance.
The expression on this Level Eight agent's face indicated that something had gone terribly wrong.
"Director, a major incident has occurred on the streets of Queens, New York. There's Hulk, Thunder Lord, a Tentacle Monster codenamed Yellow Demon, the Island Priestess, and a mysterious individual who seems to be fleeing..."
Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Nick Fury calmly responded, "And then? The streets are destroyed? Bodies everywhere? The troublemakers all got away? And we’re left to take the blame?"
