He's in the Marvel universe, and his first step is marrying Scarlet Witch.

Chapter 74 Flooded City Center

"The surrounding area has been cleared, the target's location has been roughly determined, and the encirclement is being tightened."

Emil Bronsky led hundreds of elite American soldiers, searching step by step toward the alley where Banner and Betty were. He estimated that they would be discovered in two minutes.

"No, I won't leave you again this time!"

Seeing Banner's expression as if he were about to die, Betty grabbed his hand. It was because she had let go back then that Bruce had disappeared for so many years. This time, she didn't want to let go again.

"Ahem, actually I didn't really want to bother you, but they're about to find this place, so I have no choice."

Looking at the couple below, who seemed about to be separated by life and death, Li Chuan couldn't help but interrupt.

"Who are you?"

The sudden sound from above startled Banner and Betty, who jumped out from between the two large trash cans.

However, when they turned around and saw Li Chuan, they froze on the spot.

A man wearing a strange golden mask stood upright on the wall, completely defying the laws of physics.

"You must be Mr. Green. I'm Mr. Blue's friend. He should have messaged you. I'm here to help."

Li Chuan raised his hand to reassure the two of them not to be nervous, and then explained.

Banner tried to calm himself down:

"Um... I've been on the run and haven't had a chance to check the messages on a computer yet. But given the current situation, how can you help us?"

Although they hadn't checked the messages, the fact that the other party could address them by the names "Mr. Green" and "Mr. Blue" was enough proof. However, they were already completely surrounded, so how could this masked friend help them escape?

"They're here!"

Just then, two soldiers suddenly appeared from both sides of the alley, clearly having located the spot.

As Banner watched the soldiers aiming their guns at them, his pupils began to faintly turn green.

Seeing this, Li Chuan quickly jumped down from the wall and kicked the two large trash cans twice. The two trash cans flew out like cannonballs to both sides of the alley, knocking the two soldiers unconscious.

"Don't panic, there's no danger, leave it to me!"

Upon hearing Li Chuan's words, Banner took a deep breath and forcefully suppressed Hulk's will once again.

"What do we do now?"

"Grab onto my shoulders, and remember to hold on tight!"

Hearing the dense sound of footsteps running towards them, Li Chuan smiled at Banner and Betty.

Banner and Betty were taken aback. They didn't understand what the point of doing this was, but after exchanging a glance, they still grabbed Li Chuan's shoulders as instructed.

They are now out of options and can only hope that this mysterious masked man can actually help them.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Technique!"

Seeing that the two had already gripped him tightly, Li Chuan quickly formed hand seals, then puffed out his mouth and sprayed downwards, the water transformed from chakra gushing out.

Like a dam bursting, massive waves surged outwards from the alleyway's center. The fully armed elite soldiers, led by Bronsky, had just reached the alley's entrance when they were immediately swept away by the giant waves and carried off into the distance.

At this moment, Li Chuan stood on the waves he had created, picked up Banner and Betty, who were clinging to his shoulders to avoid being taken away, and carried them on his left and right sides around his waist, and quickly ran towards the outside of the encirclement.

"What happened? Did they catch them?"

Inside the armored command vehicle, Ross had just heard Bronsky report that the target had been located when he heard a strange sound of water splashing, and then there was no reply.

Fortunately, the soldiers on the helicopter then offered an explanation, though their voices betrayed obvious disbelief.

"General, a large wave suddenly surged up at the target's location, and Colonel Bronsky and everyone else were swept away."

"Soldier, are you kidding me? This is the city center, not the beach or a lake. Where would the waves come from?"

Ross glared and cursed.

At that moment, a communications soldier inside the armored command vehicle tugged at Laros's arm:

"General, look over there!"

Ross looked up at the glass the communications officer was pointing to, and saw a huge wave rushing towards their armored command vehicle, carrying tables and chairs from the street.

"Oh, f***ing, this is truly bizarre!"

"boom!"

The waves completely engulfed the armored command vehicle, but because of its weight, it wasn't swept away like the tables and chairs on the street.

After about twenty seconds, the water slowly subsided, leaving only a mess on Eighth Street.

"Where is the target location now?"

Ross angrily picked up the communicator again.

The soldier on the helicopter replied:

"They've broken out of the encirclement and are now in the fifth block. There's also a masked stranger running alongside them, carrying the target. They're moving very fast, and we're in pursuit."

"Attention everyone, proceed to the fifth block to intercept the target."

After Ross finished his loud roar, he immediately ordered the armored command vehicle to advance to the fifth block.

"Whoosh! Whoosh!"

In the fifth block, Li Chuan, who was running wildly with Banner and Betty in tow, suddenly twitched his ears and then immediately jumped onto the roof of the burger shop next door.

Where he had originally stood, there were now two tranquilizer darts on the ground.

"Looks like I'll have to deal with you guys first!"

Seeing the two helicopters hovering in mid-air and the soldiers inside holding tranquilizer guns, Li Chuan immediately placed Banner and Betty on the roof.

"Wait a mininute!"

The tranquilizer gun wasn't fast enough to pose much of a threat to him, but both helicopters were equipped with machine guns. If General Ross disregarded his daughter's life and allowed the machine guns to fire, even he would be in serious trouble.

Moreover, with two helicopters watching from the air, it won't be easy for him to take Banner and Betty away.

Actually, he originally only wanted to take Banner with him. Betty was Ross's daughter, so there wouldn't be any problem if she stayed there. But after thinking about it, he decided it would be better to take both of them with him.

First, Betty is also a top cell biologist, and going to New York would be very helpful for researching new drugs. Second, with Betty around, Banner's mind can be at ease.

Just as Black Widow can calm the enraged Hulk and transform him into Banner, Betty, as Banner's lover, plays a similar role. If Banner were to transform in the future, Betty's presence would be invaluable.

In any case, Betty's weight was negligible to him.

"well."

After being released, Banner gasped for breath. Li Chuan had just sprayed water and led them to run through the water. These unbelievable things almost made him lose control of his emotions.

Now he has to try to control his inner turmoil to prevent the Hulk from escaping.

Betty was equally surprised, but seeing that Banner was not in a good state, she quickly went over and hugged him to comfort him.
