Chapter 227: Tense Situation
🕑 Added 2023-11-28 17:20:34 +0000 UTCBetty, who witnessed Hulk's escape, breathed a sigh of relief. He ran away, which meant temporary safety.
This way, he wouldn't be beaten to death by the opponent, and he wouldn't be captured by her father, making it the best choice in her eyes.
General Ross, on the other hand, observed Hulk's escape and Charles and Tsunade remaining at the scene, lost in thought.
Although Ross still hadn't obtained information about the identity of the two, thinking about the recently killed Blonsky and his disappeared body, he could make a rough guess.
Most importantly, in Ross's eyes, their existence was more important and valuable than Hulk.
Hulk, this big guy, could be found slowly. After all, he couldn't get lost on Earth. But the two individuals in front of him...
Just as Ross was about to give orders, a communications officer walked over with a tablet. "General, this is the information from the Pentagon. Our troops have arrived at the intersection of 71 Forrest Hills Avenue in Queens."
Ross took the tablet and looked at the recorded information on it, sliding through the pages.
On it was a social security photo of Charles Doyle.
Charles Doyle
Age: 21
Address: 71 Forrest Hills Avenue, Charles Agency in Queens
Second-largest individual shareholder of Stark Industries, founder of the Heart-to-Heart Charity Fund, good friend of Tony Stark.
Suspected to be the mysterious figure present during the battle between Iron Man and Iron Monger.
Apart from these details, there were some registration details from Charles Doyle's social security, along with speculations. As for Charles's assassin career and the identity of the Elder High Table, Jarvis had already erased them completely.
During that time, Charles was, for the military, an inconspicuous figure, and there was no intelligence gathering or investigation.
All this information started to be collected only after Charles became a major shareholder in Stark Industries.
Looking at the meager information on the tablet, Ross was speechless. Whether this information was fake or not, it presented Charles as a shareholder of Stark Industries, the initiator of a charity fund, and a friend of Tony.
Even if it was true, Charles Doyle's growth trajectory information was almost non-existent, with no records of educational information.
However, in Ross's view, one thing could be confirmed: Charles Doyle was not simple. He was a capitalist with the support of Stark Industries and Tony, not someone like Banner that he could easily arrest.
Ross shook his head and put down the tablet. Then he spoke, "Prepare to land!"
The battle at the scene had already ended, and the arriving soldiers had surrounded Forrest Hills Avenue.
As the helicopter landed, General Ross walked out and approached Charles and Tsunade.
Looking at the handsome man and beautiful woman in front of him, General Ross smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Charles, and the beautiful lady, for lending a helping hand!"
While Ross was speaking, he extended both hands, seemingly sincerely expressing his gratitude.
Not refusing General Ross's goodwill, Charles simply shook hands with him.
Betty, who had come out of the helicopter with Ross, had her gaze fixed on Tsunade.
Betty wasn't angry with Tsunade for beating up Banner; instead, she was full of curiosity about her.
After the handshake, General Ross changed the subject and directly said, "Mr. Charles, thank you for your help. However, that monster just now is military property. We hope you can return it to us."
At this point, a large number of soldiers had assembled behind General Ross, and tanks and armored vehicles had arrived on 71st Avenue, seemingly surrounding Charles Doyle and Tsunade.
Charles waved his hands, as if to say he had nothing in his hands. "General, I don't understand what you're talking about?"
"Are you saying that the yellow monster that just disappeared is an experimental product of your military?"
At this moment, a sergeant approached General Ross.
"General, please follow me."
The sergeant led Ross to the side of an armored vehicle and took out a military tablet, saying something that made Ross frown slightly.
Although the sergeant's voice was low, since the distance between the two sides wasn't far, Charles could hear everything clearly.
"General, our soldiers didn't capture how Blonsky disappeared, and the street surveillance was destroyed during the previous battle, leaving no evidence."
Hearing the sergeant's words, a smile appeared on Charles's face.
However, Ross didn't pay attention to the sergeant's words. Evidence was something left for the judges; it wasn't a necessity for him.
"Charles Doyle, I know your identity, and I know you're a major shareholder in Stark Industries, also a capitalist."
"But military property is not something you can take possession of."
"Now, immediately hand over Blonsky's body!"
With General Ross's stern reprimand, the soldiers around raised their weapons, aiming at Charles and Tsunade.
The atmosphere that was once light-hearted turned tense in an instant.
Tsunade, who had been waiting for Charles to handle things, frowned instantly, becoming impatient.
These guys with low strength dared to point weapons at her.
Tsunade lifted one leg and stomped the ground.
"Boom!"
The already devastated street instantly cracked open a wide gap. The entire street trembled as if experiencing an earthquake. The soldiers on the scene were swayed by the sudden shaking.
The crack on the street instantly expanded, spreading dozens of meters and directly reaching under the armored vehicle beside General Ross, swallowing it up.
Fortunately, the depth of the crack wasn't significant, only about seven or eight meters deep. However, it directly caused the armored vehicle, along with the soldiers inside, to fall in disarray. Some soldiers near the crack had broken numerous bones.
Tsunade, looking at the embarrassed Ross, shouted, "Charles said he didn't take it. If he says he didn't, then he didn't. What are you trying to force here?"
"Do you think you're stronger than the monster just now, or do you think we're good people who won't get angry?"
Tsunade didn't care about these soldiers and the military at all, whether it was these weak soldiers or armored vehicles and tanks; they weren't enough for her to bother with.
In Tsunade's eyes, these things were like paper toys, not worth mentioning.
