"I've got it," Banner came out of the warehouse and said to Yuma after listening to the screams inside for a while. "What do we do with the three of them?"
"Leave them to Natasha," Yuma thought for a moment and said. "Let's see if S.H.I.E.L.D. can find out some more useful information."
Banner nodded, contacted Natasha, and then went back to the shop with Yuma.
On the way, Banner told Yuma the information he had obtained.
Although Torede was Kingpin's representative in Flushing, he was just a small-time boss. He had only met Kingpin once.
As for Joseph and Eric, they were sent to help Torede. Like Torede, they were directly sent by their superiors. They had never even met Kingpin, let alone know any information.
"So, we were busy for nothing?" Yuma was depressed.
"It's not like we didn't gain anything," Banner continued. "Torede's superior is called Mitchell Cadlec. He's a big boss under Kingpin. The three of them said that if there's any information, it would be known at least by Mitchell's level. They also heard Mitchell mention something about Emil once."
"And this Mitchell is currently in Queens."
"Do you have the address?" Yuma asked quickly.
"Yes!"
Seeing Banner nod, Yuma immediately pulled Banner and ran towards Mitchell's residence.
…
"This is it," Banner compared the address Torede gave him and pointed to a villa in front of him. "Torede said that no one knows Mitchell will come here, so there are no security personnel."
The two of them exchanged glances and then climbed over the fence into the villa.
There were no lights in the villa. The two of them entered through a window on the roof and checked every room along the way. They couldn't find any trace of Mitchell.
After searching all the rooms, the two of them walked towards the living room on the first floor. If he wasn't here, then either Torede had lied to Banner or Mitchell had gone out and hadn't come back yet.
Yuma was more inclined to believe the second guess. After all, in that situation, Yuma felt that Torede wouldn't have the guts to lie to Banner.
Buzz!
As soon as the two of them entered the living room, all the lights in the living room turned on. The TV on the wall automatically turned on, and a strong bald man appeared!
"It's a pleasure to meet you both. I'm Kingpin!" The bald man on the TV said slowly. "To be honest, I don't really want to meet the legendary Hulk and Joker this way. I prefer face-to-face."
"You knew we were coming?" Yuma said in a deep voice.
"No, no, no," Kingpin waved his hand. "To be precise, I guided you here. I thought you wouldn't miss any chance to get information about me, so Torede would know that Mitchell was in Queens."
"And to survive, he would definitely tell you."
"Tell me your purpose," Yuma looked at the bald man on the screen. "I don't think you're just here to chat, right?"
"I like your directness," Kingpin laughed. "My purpose is simple. I just want to cooperate with you. I don't need you to do anything. Just help me with a few small favors."
"As for the reward, I believe there's nothing in the world that I can't afford!"
Yuma didn't even think before refusing. Even if you're rich, can you be richer than Tony Stark?
He still owes me three lives. Am I afraid of being broke?
"That's a shame," Kingpin shook his head regretfully. "It seems we're destined not to be friends."
After saying that, he hung up the call.
"Why didn't you ask what he wanted us to do? Maybe we could have learned something about his purpose," Banner immediately asked after the call was hung up.
"Please, don't ask such stupid questions. It'll affect your image in my mind," Yuma rolled his eyes at Banner speechlessly. "Haven't you heard the saying, 'If you want to play together, you need to have some leverage over each other'?"
"Do you think he'll believe us? What if he asks us to do a terrorist attack as a sign of our cooperation? You go ahead then?"
"You're a smart guy," suddenly, Kingpin's image appeared on the TV again. He smiled at the two of them. "If I remember correctly, this is the second time you've refused me, Dr. Banner. For your courage, I've prepared a little gift for you. I hope you like it."
As soon as the image appeared, Yuma Hollowfied, and Banner turned into Hulk. The two of them confirmed their direction and rushed towards the shop.
Yuma used Sonído crazily along the way, as if it were free. Hulk was even more direct. He charged straight ahead in a straight line, destroying countless cars and houses along the way.
Yuma calculated the time while rushing, his heart filled with anxiety.
If anything happened to Betty, Yuma didn't know what crazy things Hulk would do. He might even demolish Flushing, or even Queens!
Damn it, Kingpin, you're forcing Hulk to go crazy.
Once Hulk really goes crazy, the agreement they signed before will be invalid. S.H.I.E.L.D. and General Ross will definitely launch a massive pursuit of Hulk.
And he can take advantage of the situation to cause trouble.
Thinking of this, Yuma immediately accelerated. Betty couldn't be harmed!
Fortunately, Shinigami could gather their spiritual pressure under their feet. So, Yuma didn't encounter any obstacles while running in the air, saving a lot of time.
Yuma thought to himself that when Tony made the Iron Man suit, he would definitely get one. That way, he wouldn't have to run until he was exhausted when encountering this kind of situation in the future.
"10 seconds left," Yuma shouted to Hulk. "Go to the roof!"
They had already entered Flushing and were still a distance away from Yuma's shop.
"3 seconds!"
They could vaguely see Betty hanging from the roof.
"1 second!"
The rope on her back snapped, and Betty fell towards the ground.
Roar!
Hulk roared, his legs pushing off the roof. His entire body shot towards Betty like a cannonball.
In Betty's expectant gaze, Hulk's massive body drew an arc in the air, perfectly flying over Betty…
"NO!" Hulk roared in despair, his entire body crashing into the building opposite.
"Bakudō #37, Tsuriboshi!"
Just as Betty thought she was doomed and about to be smashed into a pancake, a giant blue hammock suddenly appeared beneath her, catching her safely!
