In the evening, General Ross, holding his phone, suppressed his anger and replied:
"Yes, Minister of Defense, I will immediately withdraw the troops. Understood, I understand, there will be no further impact."
After hanging up the phone, he slammed his fist on the table in anger.
"These rotten fellows only care about immediate profits. Don't they understand how important it would be for our country if I could capture Banner and research the genes in his body!"
He deeply felt the power of Hulk after his transformation, far stronger than Captain America during World War II. If they could create a troop entirely composed of Banner's genes, then no country on Earth would be able to contend with them.
This was far more useful than Stark Industries developing more advanced missiles.
However, the Department of Defense, due to their blockade, had impacted Virginia's economy. Under pressure from the escalating public opinion, they ordered the immediate lifting of all blockades and the evacuation of the city.
It was truly foolish!
"General, there are still no clues. We have searched the area where Bruce Banner disappeared five times, even searching the ground."
At this moment, Bronski, who was in charge of this operation, walked in.
He felt that this capture mission was too bizarre. First, he was transferred from far away to command a large number of elite soldiers, making a big fuss just to capture a frail scientist.
Then, just when the capture was about to succeed, he was swept away by a huge wave.
Later, after finally locking onto the target again, the target inexplicably vanished into thin air.
"Lift the blockade and let everyone retreat!"
Ross, after calming himself down, issued the retreat order.
As it stood, not even a Shadow of Banner could be found. He had no choice but to follow the Minister of Defense's orders, otherwise, he would be in great trouble upon his return.
"Who exactly are you?"
Ross held a photo. The photo showed Li Chuan wearing a golden mask, carrying Banner in one arm and Betty in the other, jumping across rooftops.
He felt that the failure of today's capture operation was largely due to this unexpected intruder wearing a golden mask, You-Know-Who.
"If I were ten years younger, today's outcome wouldn't have been like this."
Bronski said as he looked at the photo in General Ross's hand, before leaving.
The failure of this mission also stirred up emotions in the proud Bronski. He felt that if it weren't for his age, which had significantly reduced his physical capabilities, he wouldn't have been swept away so easily by the huge wave at that time.
Including the subsequent pursuit, he wouldn't have reacted so slowly.
Hearing Bronski's words, General Ross suddenly realized something and turned his head to call out to Bronski:
"Perhaps, I can help you, as long as you can endure the pain."
Meanwhile, on a private jet heading to New York.
"Mr. Li Chuan, thank you very much for your help this time."
Banner once again expressed his gratitude to Li Chuan.
Li Chuan smiled politely:
"You're welcome. Since Dr. Stern personally asked, and I happened to be in Virginia to check on the company's situation, it wasn't too difficult to help out along the way."
"Dr. Stern, is that Mr. Blue's name?"
Banner asked.
Li Chuan nodded:
"Yes, Dr. Samuel Sterns, he is the most outstanding Dr. in our Li's Group, currently helping us research new drugs that can cure human terminal illnesses."
"Li's Group, is it the Li's Group that produces tricolor pills?"
Betty exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this.
As a cell biologist, she naturally knew about the recently appeared tricolor pill. She had even specifically bought it to study some of its ingredients and the principles of its effects after consumption.
"Yes, originally the tricolor pill was produced to improve the overall health of humanity, but later due to poor sales, we had to promote it as a health supplement. Please forgive me for making the two of you Dr.s laugh."
Li Chuan feigned a sigh.
Betty quickly waved her hand:
"I've studied the effects of the tricolor pill, and I can say that if taken long-term, it will indeed have a very good effect on the human body. For humanity, this is a great achievement."
"I've been living in the slums of Rossinia for the past two years. The people there are very poor, many can't even guarantee basic food and shelter.
But since the Mr. Green pill appeared some time ago, their situation has improved a lot. It's cheap and can fill their stomachs. Mr. Li Chuan, you've done a good deed."
Banner recalled his life in Rossinia, and his tone towards Li Chuan unconsciously held a hint of respect.
Given the efficacy of that Mr. Green pill, even selling it at ten times the price wouldn't be expensive, yet Li's Group sold it at such a low price, which truly commanded admiration.
Seeing that the effect had been achieved, Li Chuan didn't overdo it or delve deeper into the topic.
To recruit talents like Banner and Betty, one must treat them like Ethan, because neither profit nor force can make them submit.
Only by making them feel that you are a good person, and that their help to you is doing good deeds, will they be willing to follow you.
And how to prove that you are a good person? Relying on self-praise certainly won't work; they are all highly intelligent geniuses and not foolish. Only concrete actions can be convincing.
New York, Li's Group Laboratory.
"Mr. Blue!"
"Mr. Green!"
Banner and Stern, who had been communicating online for several years, finally met for the first time.
After a period of discussion, Banner brought up the matter of injecting the antidote, and Stern also mentioned that after the antidote was injected, it was uncertain whether he could fully recover, perhaps only temporarily suppressing the Mr. Green gene.
Even so, Banner decided to give it a try.
"Then let's go to the laboratory at the factory in the suburbs. It's more secluded there, and you don't have to worry about being discovered."
Seeing that Dr. Banner had made his decision, Li Chuan offered a suggestion.
Although the antidote injection was successful in the original plot, there have been some changes now. If the injection isn't completed and Banner turns into Hulk and loses control, bursting out of the Li's Group laboratory, then tomorrow's news would explode.
If headlines about Li's Group experimenting with Mr. Green gene monsters were to appear, the sales of the tricolor pill would plummet instantly.
Even if an accident occurred at the remote factory in the suburbs, the problem wouldn't be too big.
"I'll have to trouble Mr. Li Chuan again!"
Banner was truly grateful for the help Li Chuan had provided.
Li Chuan just smiled:
"Actually, I also have a selfish motive. Helping you with your treatment can also allow Dr. Stern to research drugs that can cure terminal illnesses faster."
Banner wanted to say something upon hearing this, but ultimately didn't.
In reality, he felt that researching drugs to cure terminal illnesses using his blood was too dangerous.
But Li Chuan had helped him so much, and Li's Group, unlike General Ross, aimed to give hope of healing to those facing terminal illnesses.
Therefore, he really couldn't bring himself to object.
