Yuma thought for a moment and said, "Banner, how about we go out together later?"
"Go out?" Banner asked. "Where are we going so late? What are we going to do?"
"Of course, it's something fun." Yuma then told him about Torede and his plan to capture him for interrogation.
"No problem," Banner readily agreed. "What do you need me to do?"
You know, the Abomination incident was a top priority for Banner now. If it weren't for him, he and Betty could really live a normal life.
Instead, they had to be on guard against him coming out to do something. Abomination was now a stumbling block on Banner's path to happiness.
The threat of Abomination might not be a big problem for him, but what if he injured Betty one day? Even if he killed Abomination, he wouldn't be able to regret it!
After a brief discussion, the two of them set off. They left Betty to watch the shop. After all, it was better not to let her participate in this kind of thing.
…
Soon, the two of them arrived at Torede's base, the old warehouse.
Yuma had never really understood why Torede always set up his base in the same place.
I understand your desire for revenge, but it doesn't seem good to betray Kingpin and the people he sent to help you.
After arriving at the base, Yuma and Banner hid outside the warehouse. They could hear Torede's voice inside. It seemed that Torede was talking to his subordinates. Yuma immediately got closer and listened carefully.
"Eric, I want to know why," Torede's angry voice echoed through the warehouse. "Why, after three days, you still haven't found any information about 'Joker'? I can't believe how you're responsible for intelligence work!"
"Don't explain to me, and don't give me any excuses about difficulties. Just tell me the results. I believe Kingpin wouldn't listen to any explanations from you!"
"And you, Joseph, I told you to contact all the shop owners in Chinatown. Why hasn't a single one come? Haven't they heard of my name, Torede Demille? Or do they not even give Kingpin face? Can't even do this simple thing right?"
"Who's Joker?" Banner asked Yuma quietly. "I've never heard of that character."
Yuma rolled his eyes at Banner and didn't answer him.
Should he tell him that he was the "Joker" Torede was talking about? How would he face his enemies in the future? What about his deterrent effect?
Oh, in the future, when everyone introduces themselves to their enemies, some will call themselves Iron Man, some Thor, some Black Panther, and at least there are some who call themselves Ant-Man.
Why am I a Joker? Can't you be serious?
Yuma was really impressed by the Americans' ability to give people random nicknames!
"I think you might have misunderstood something, Torede," a man's voice came from the warehouse, low and raspy. "We were sent by Kingpin to assist you. We're not your subordinates. What you're asking us to do is meaningless in my opinion. No one can withstand our firepower. We just need to complete what Kingpin has instructed us to do."
After a pause, the man continued, "All your actions are cowardly. You've been scared by the other side. You're no longer suitable for this job."
Next, there was a heated argument between Torede and the man with the raspy voice. There was no other information.
"Let's charge in now," Yuma instructed Banner. "Remember, I want Torede and this man alive. Listen to my orders later. Don't do anything reckless!"
"Don't worry," Banner gave Yuma an OK gesture. "I promise to listen to you."
Seeing that Banner understood, Yuma directly Hollowfied outside the warehouse. After all, he didn't need to spend time making another outfit. Besides, his mask was much more ferocious than before. Yuma didn't believe anyone would call him Joker anymore!
"So cool," Banner said excitedly when he saw Yuma finish Hollowfying. "How did you do that? It's so cool."
"Stop talking nonsense and get to work!" Yuma ignored Banner and shouted, then rushed into the warehouse with Banner.
Torede was about to have another verbal battle with Eric, letting him know who was the real boss, when two people rushed in.
Torede's gaze was completely captivated by the man with the skull mask and white coat. He didn't notice the other person.
"It's you, Joker," Torede shouted excitedly. "I didn't expect you to come to me!"
Yuma was dumbfounded when he heard Torede's shout. How did you recognize me?
And who told you I'm Joker?
I'm a Shinigami! A Shinigami who can reap your soul!
"Attack!" Yuma shouted at Banner, filled with anger. In his heart, thousands of words were reduced to this single word.
Roar!
Banner immediately transformed into Hulk and charged towards the group of people in the warehouse.
For a moment, the warehouse was filled with gunshots and screams.
Yuma didn't care about Hulk and the others. He went straight to Torede.
"Call me Shinigami!" Yuma stood in front of Torede and commanded.
"It's really you, Joker," Torede didn't listen to Yuma at all. He gritted his teeth and said, "This time, I won't let you off. You're going to die."
Torede pulled out a pistol, pointed it at Yuma, and pulled the trigger. At the same time, the two white guys beside him also fired at Yuma.
"I told you to call me Shinigami!" Yuma's eyes were filled with anger. He dodged the bullets and beat up the three of them, venting his anger.
…
Soon, only Torede and the three of them were left standing in the warehouse, besides Yuma and Banner.
This was the result of Yuma's deliberate control. Otherwise, the three of them would have gone to meet Satan long ago.
"You dare go against us, Joker," Torede's face was swollen like a pig's head, and he spoke incoherently. "Aren't you afraid of Kingpin's revenge?"
Damn it!
Yuma was about to finish off Torede, regardless of any information.
When I find Kingpin later, I'm going to ask him how he found his subordinates. Can these idiots even do anything right?
"Yuma, don't forget why we came here!" Banner quickly stopped the enraged Yuma, worried that he would lose control and kill Torede.
After stopping Yuma, Banner took the three of them to the side and started interrogating them about Kingpin and Abomination. He really didn't trust Yuma to do this.
