Taking advantage of the fact that Abomination hadn't emerged from the rubble yet, Yuma turned and chased after Black Widow.
He needed to find Betty Ross as soon as possible and then take her to Banner. Hopefully, Banner was still hiding in that place and hadn't run away. If Abomination caught up, he wasn't sure he could protect them both.
If Banner knew he hadn't protected his girlfriend, he might end up facing Abomination and Hulk at the same time. What a joke!
A group of people in the distance pointed and talked excitedly, taking photos, recording videos, and posting on Twitter, looking in Yuma and Abomination's direction.
They really love watching the drama unfold. The masses are the same everywhere.
Soon, Yuma found Black Widow in the crowd. She was trying to push through the crowd and get out.
Yuma thought to himself that he had been so anxious that he forgot to tell her what Betty Ross looked like. He didn't know how she was going to find her.
He jumped onto a nearby rooftop and looked around. It didn't take long before he found Betty, who was about to run away.
Did she just watch the show and then decide to run?
She hadn't run far after all this time. Yuma thought she had already found a place to hide.
"Bakudō #4, Tsumite!"
Betty Ross, who was running, was bound by the Reishi rope and almost tripped and fell.
"Sorry, Ms. Ross, I apologize," Yuma quickly said as he arrived in front of Betty. "I'm Yuma, Dr. Banner's friend. Emil is about to catch up. We'll talk on the way."
He didn't wait for Betty's consent and hoisted her onto his shoulder.
Natasha had finally pushed through the crowd and saw Yuma standing in the distance, carrying a woman on his shoulder. She ran closer and asked, "Betty Ross?"
"That's right," Yuma nodded. "Let's get out of here first."
Betty Ross didn't resist being carried by Yuma. Even if these two weren't Banner's friends and had other motives for grabbing her, it was better than being caught by Emil. That guy was now a madman, a terrifying monster even more powerful than Hulk!
…
Yuma found a car on the side of the road, put Betty in the back seat, and sat in the passenger seat, directing Black Widow.
"I'm sorry. I had no choice just now." Yuma turned back to Betty Ross and apologized after the car started.
"It's okay," Betty Ross said, moving her numb limbs that had been tied up. "Can you tell me what's going on now?"
"I think you know more about what happened than we do, so there's no need to repeat it," Yuma explained. "As you can see, we can't beat Emil alone, so we need Banner's help. Only Hulk can deal with him."
"You know where Banner is?" Betty was excited. "I've been looking for him for a long time, and I didn't have any news about him. It wasn't until a few days ago that I found out he was in New York, so I came here to see if I could find him. I didn't expect to run into Emil, and I almost got killed by him."
"Because of Hulk, Banner doesn't dare to see you. He's afraid of hurting you," Yuma said. "You'll know when you see him."
Hopefully, he's still there, Yuma thought silently.
They all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Emil hadn't caught up. His combat strength was too insane, making him impossible to fight.
"I've already reported to S.H.I.E.L.D.," Natasha turned to Yuma. "They sent people to your shop. Emil is not there, and they haven't found any trace of him. I wonder how he managed to evade the search with his physique."
Yuma thought for a moment and said thoughtfully, "Maybe someone is helping him."
He remembered that, according to the movie "The Incredible Hulk," Emil had only received the super-soldier serum injection from General Ross initially. After failing to challenge Hulk, he received a second injection, but his mind became increasingly violent and insane.
It wasn't until Banner was arrested that Dr. Stern injected Hulk's serum into him, transforming him into the monstrous Abomination.
Banner hadn't received the "antidote" yet, nor had he surrendered. Yuma couldn't understand how Emil had obtained Banner's serum and transformed into Abomination under these circumstances.
"Ms. Ross, do you know how Emil became what he is now?" Yuma tried to get some clues from Betty. After all, she was General Ross's daughter, and she would know more than the other two.
"Just call me Betty," Betty thought for a moment and shook her head. "I don't know much. My father never told me about his work."
"I only know that Emil seemed to have participated in one of my father's super-soldier experiments. He disappeared for a while and then came back, not long after that, he became a monster."
He disappeared for a while. Did he go to get Hulk's serum?
Yuma rubbed his chin, still puzzled. Unless Hulk volunteered, it was basically impossible for anyone to get his serum, right?
"Do you have any news from your side?" Yuma asked Natasha. "S.H.I.E.L.D. wouldn't be completely unaware, right?"
Natasha shook her head. "I reported it last night, and S.H.I.E.L.D. only started investigating. It's been too short a time, and they haven't found any useful information."
Yuma could only give up and stop thinking about it. No matter why Emil turned into Abomination, he had to prepare to fight him. Maybe he would find out after defeating him.
…
"This is it," Yuma pointed to the factory in front of them. "Banner has been hiding here."
After getting out of the car, Yuma led the two of them into the factory. As soon as they entered the gate, Yuma shouted at the top of his lungs, "Green Giant, come out! Someone bullied your girlfriend and almost killed her!"
Natasha and Betty looked at Yuma speechlessly. They suddenly felt like he wasn't reliable at all.
"Is that you, Yuma?" Banner's voice came from inside after a while.
"It's me. Come out and see who I brought!" Yuma breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Banner's voice. Thankfully, he hadn't run away, otherwise, he wouldn't know where to find him.
"Who did you bring? Is it the person who bullied Betty…" Banner came out of the room, saw Betty behind Yuma, and froze.
"Betty?" Banner couldn't believe it.
"It's me, Bruce. Thank God I see you again." Betty rushed forward and hugged Banner.
Banner hugged Betty back, equally happy. "Yeah, thank God."
"That's enough, you two," Yuma stepped forward and said loudly. "What does God have to do with it? You should be thanking me. If it weren't for me, you'd only be able to see Betty if you went to see God himself."
The two of them looked at Yuma speechlessly. Their gratitude for saving Betty vanished in a blink of an eye. Even Natasha looked at Yuma with disdain.
They had never seen such an ungentlemanly person. They were reunited after a long separation, and they were excited. What's with all the chaos?
