Chapter 96 Nick Fury: "Yes, Betty is pregnant" (Third update, please subscribe!)

a few days later.

Hawke drove the black Audi A8 repaired by Co-Prosperity Insurance and took Gwen to Kennedy International Airport.

Today is the day Gwen flies to California and visits Berkeley.

Originally George wanted to give it to me.

During dinner last night, George specifically brought up this matter, but Gwen rejected the proposal on the spot.

After Hawke parked the vehicle, he took the suitcase out of the trunk.

Gwen then naturally took Hawke's arm and the two walked towards the entrance not far away.

"Is there anyone to meet you at the airport?"

"Don't worry, there's a specialist from the University of Berkeley to pick you up at the airport."

"Ok."

"If you're worried, you can go with me."

Gwen glanced at Hawke and blinked. "Maybe there's a robber trying to kidnap me over there too."

Hawke heard this and looked at Gwen quietly without saying anything.

after awhile.

He looked back.

"Not over there."

"you sure?"

"yes, I'm sure."

Hawke's tone was very firm.

This incident with Betty Ross was the first and would be the last.

Well known.

The same moves are ineffective against Saint Seiya.

and so……

After Hawke accompanied Gwen to pick up the plane ticket and waited for Gwen's flight at the boarding gate, he took out a note with a phone number on it from his pocket and handed it to her.

"Give."

"what is this?"

Gwen took the note, turned it over with her little hand, saw a string of numbers on it, and looked at Hawke curiously: "What's this for?"

Hawke smiled and said, "She's responsible for protecting you while you're in California, but you should be able to see her once you get off the plane."

Gwen's eyes widened, and then she burst out laughing.

"I'm just kidding, Hawke."

"I do not have."

Hawke's expression was serious, and his tone was earnest: "Although California is not far away, it's just in case."

Gwen frowned slightly.

"I thought this kidnapping case was over."

"It's over."

Hawke smiled slightly: "But there is still an uncertainty. Why not solve it in advance?"

Betty Ross is dead.

But Bruce Banner isn't dead yet.

And Bruce Banner is what he calls the uncertainty factor.

Gwen looked at Hawke, whose eyes flickered, and frowned.

"Hawk."

"Ah."

"Promise me, don't let your heart get agitated."

Gwen held Hawke's hand, looked at Hawke tenderly as he sat next to her and boarded the plane with her, and said softly, "At least for now, Bruce Banner is still innocent, isn't he?"

The New York Police Department has also closed the case.

To be precise, it was not the New York Police Department that closed the case itself, but the FBI said that when they arrested a police hater and killed him, they found a connection with Gwen's kidnapper in his home.

In short, it’s just one sentence.

The mastermind behind the attempt to kidnap Gwen was shot dead on the spot by the FBI.

The New York Police Department was stunned when they learned the news.

Same with George.

But Gwen knew the inside story, because Hawke did not hide it from her, so Gwen also knew Betty Ross's plan to get involved.

After hearing this, Gwen also had an indescribable feeling.

but……

There are all kinds of feelings, except sympathy.

Again.

She is kind, but not a saint. At least not so saintly as to ignore the murderer who wants to kill her.

After all, throughout the whole thing, from beginning to end, Hawke has been fighting back in self-defense.

Would Hawke have attacked Quantico if Thaddeus Ross hadn't come to attack Hawke?

This time too.

Would Hawke have killed Betty Ross if she hadn't been trying to kidnap and assassinate Gwen?
The answer is no.

If she hadn't been lucky enough and Hawke hadn't appeared in time to save her, she would have been the one to die.

So Gwen has no sympathy for Betty Ross.

In a word.

She deserves to die.

But Bruce Banner?

Gwen was listening to Hawke's story about Betty Ross's plan to get involved, and when she heard Betty Ross's plan for Bruce Banner, she had only one comment.

"Bruce Banner is so pitiful."

Yes.

Pitiful.

Because in Gwen's opinion, if Betty Ross really loves Bruce Banner, then she should hope that Bruce Banner will be happy.

Instead of what is happening now, the so-called marriage and love are just to plot against Bruce Banner.

Hawke regretted what he said and decided to take Bruce Banner with him.

It was Gwen who held Hawke back.

Gwen used the same excuse then as she does now.

"Betty Ross deserved to die."

"But Bruce Banner is just a poor guy who was schemed by Betty."

“Don’t let your heart flutter, Hawke. Once again, try to be a person with a clear conscience.” “Of course.”

"If Bruce Banner is really calculated by Betty Ross, I will definitely not stop you at that time."

"I promise you, I'll make this call as soon as I get off the plane."

Gwen whispered softly, soothing Hawke's restless heart. She held the note with the phone number on it in her little hand and looked at Hawke with a serious assurance.

Eyes facing each other.

Hawke opened his mouth, then finally shook his head and laughed.

"alright."

"Then let's wait and see if he falls into Betty Ross's trap."

Gwen listened to Hawke's assurances, a gentle smile on her face.

At this time, the flight to California also began boarding.

Gwen stood up and gave Hawke a hug and kiss.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

"it is good."

Hawke smiled and watched his girlfriend board the plane.

After half an hour.

The flight to Berkeley, California, taxied onto the runway, reached decision speed, and then lifted off into the sky.

Hawke looked at the flight disappearing into the clouds, then withdrew his gaze, took a deep breath, and turned to the airline counter. "One ticket to Paris in half an hour, thank you."

He checked online yesterday and found that there was a flight to Paris that would allow him to fly to Paris seamlessly after sending Gwen on board, and then take a special flight from Paris to Africa.

He even booked a vehicle online at the African airport.

Once you get there and get off the plane, you can drive straight to Wakanda.

soon.

Flight 180 from New York City to Paris also entered the taxiing state after completing the boarding procedures.

at the same time.

A funeral is being held in a cemetery in Jersey City.

But there weren't many guests coming.

But there is a saying.

Quality is more important than quantity.

Although the number of guests coming here is small, all the guests who can come here are from important backgrounds.

"Bruce."

"Pepper."

"Condolences."

Pepper Potts, CEO of Stark Industries, who had just cleared the Extremis virus from her body and returned to normal last month, wore a black dress and veil. After the coffin was lowered into the grave, she came to the dejected Bruce Banner, hugged him, and said, "Tony wanted to come, but you know, his treatment has entered a critical stage, and Dr. Zhao has strictly forbidden him to go out."

Bruce nodded, forcing a smile.

"I know. Tony called me last night."

"Once again, my condolences."

Pepper said, then hugged Bruce Banner goodbye again.

There are a lot of things going on at Stark Industries, and Tony is still in the critical period of treatment, so she is too busy.

Sharon Carter came to Bruce after Pepper, and also paid tribute to Captain America Steve Rogers.

"Condolences."

Sharon Carter smiled bitterly and said, "The captain had originally booked a flight here, but my aunt's condition worsened yesterday."

Bruce said, "It's okay. Steve also told me that I'm fine. Really."

Sharon Carter looked at Bruce who was forcing a smile, opened her mouth, but didn't say anything in the end. She just hugged Bruce again and then said goodbye and left.

Black Widow Natasha and Hawkeye Barton then came to Bruce.

They were not delayed by other things.

but……

Just when Natasha, Barton and Bruce had not said a few words, a ding-ding-ding sound was heard.

Natasha and Barton took out their cell phones and took a look, then they looked at Bruce with an apologetic look.

Bruce understood and said with a forced smile, "I'm fine, really. You can go do whatever you want first."

Upon hearing this, Natasha and Barton could only hug Bruce, then hurriedly turned around and walked out of the cemetery.

Not long after.

The funeral is over.

sunset.

Bruce stood alone beside the newly erected tombstone in front of him, looking at Betty Ross's name and the smiling photo on the tombstone, silent, not knowing what he was thinking.

suddenly.

A dark shadow attacked, and then a voice sounded beside him.

"Condolences."

"..."

Bruce came back to his senses and looked at the man in a black windbreaker and black eye mask who appeared next to him: "Nick?"

next second.

He reacted and looked at the tombstone in front of him again.

"Thank you."

"Too young and too impulsive."

Nick Fury also looked at the photo of Betty Ross on the tombstone with one eye and shook his head with some regret: "I thought she had let it go when she married you."

marry?

Bruce caught the key words, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said nothing.

Nick glanced at Bruce, sighed with some regret, and patted Bruce on the shoulder: "It's a pity about the baby in Betty's belly."

Bruce nodded mechanically.

Unexpected.

He suddenly looked up, eyes wide open, and looked at Nick.

"Wait, what did you say, child, what child?"

"You do not know?"

Nick Fury was slightly taken aback, his face a little surprised: "Didn't Betty find out she was already a month pregnant when she went to the SHIELD hospital for a checkup last week? Victoria and the others didn't..."

When it comes to this.

Nick Fury paused suddenly, then a look of realization crossed his face. "That's right. They advocate peace, so it's unlikely they would tell you about this."

Bruce: "..."
