Marvel: Awakening the Universe

Betty said thank you calmly, then walked to the bar, took out a bottle of whiskey from the wine cabinet behind her, and poured herself a glass.

Hawke looked at Betty calmly.

Betty raised the wine glass in her hand. Although her expression was calm and her eyes did not show the fear of impending death, her trembling right hand holding the wine glass showed that her heart was not as calm as her expression and eyes.

After all, few people can truly remain fearless when facing death.

Hawke also fears death.

pity……

"If I had known today, why would I have done it in the first place?"

"You killed my father."

Betty met Hawke's gaze and said calmly, "I'm just avenging my father, just like you avenged your sister."

Hawke chuckled.

"Yes, and that is why you have the opportunity to enjoy your last dinner."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Hawke looked expressionlessly at Betty, who still had two-thirds of the whiskey in her hand. "I'm curious, what was your original plan? Kidnap Gwen and let me die?"

Betty took another sip of the whiskey in her hand and looked at Hawke.

"Do not."

"what is that?"

"Kill her, then record it on video and send it to you."

"..."

Hawke was a little surprised as he listened to Betty telling him about her plan. He looked at Betty with a calm expression.

He seriously suspected that this Betty Ross had gone crazy.

But it's okay.

The mentally ill only have criminal immunity in the court, but not in his case.

Hawke thought, chuckling softly.

"Good plan. If you can't kill me, kill my girlfriend. That way, even if I find out and kill you, Gwen will be buried with you."

"Yes!"

Betty nodded, admitting this straightforwardly, and then said in a deep voice: "What a pity, you ruined it."

While talking.

Betty seemed to have thought of something, and shook her head with a self-deprecating smile. She drank the last sip of whiskey in the glass, then put the glass on the bar and looked up at Hawke.

"She's so lucky."

"Her good fortune is your misfortune."

Hawke said expressionlessly.

"call out!"

"Boom!"

Hawke flashed in front of Betty, then flashed out from behind the bar, pinching Betty's neck, and then with a bang, he lifted Betty up and pushed her against the wall.

His right hand, which was squeezing Betty's neck, relaxed slightly.

"I'll give you one last chance to speak."

"hehe!"

Betty, without struggling or fear, looked into Hawke's eyes and let out an inexplicable laugh, then her voice turned calm and resentful.

"I'll wait for you in hell."

"..."

Hawke was slightly stunned, then looked at Betty, whose eyes had become extremely resentful, and smiled slightly: "I will go to hell."

After all, his sister is still waiting for him in hell to take her home.

Say it.

The moment Hawke exerted force with his right hand, there was a crisp sound, and Betty's expression was frozen in a strange resentment.

Betty Ross...

dead!

thump.

Betty lost her life and her body fell straight to the floor.

Hawke turned his gaze away from Betty's body and fixed it on a large photo on the living room wall not far away.

It was a photo taken when Bruce Banner married Betty Ross.

This is their wedding photo.

Hawke raised his eyebrows, as if he had thought of something, and his gaze once again fell on Betty's lifeless body on the ground.

Thoughts flashed quickly through his mind.

after awhile.

Hawke looked at Betty's body and laughed unexpectedly.

"Ah."

"Involving yourself in the game?"

"it is good."

"I'll give you this chance."

Hawke's thoughts turned, and he took a last look at Betty, who had turned into a corpse, and said so, then turned and left the apartment.

When he saw the wedding photo, he had already guessed what trick Betty was playing.

Betty certainly couldn't have killed him herself.

and so……

If Betty wants to avenge her father, she can only seek help from outside forces.

But who dares to help her?

Who can help her.

After Hawke's bravado at Quantico, there was no way the military, having failed to respond, would help her.

At the very least, the military will not attack him again until it develops a plan that has at least an 80% chance of defeating him.

Unless the military wants to repeat the tragedy of Quantico!

SHIELD?

Maybe.

But two months have passed since Hawke returned to New York City, and SHIELD has not taken any action, which only means that SHIELD does not intend to get involved in this matter.

Maybe it was because Hawke was right, or maybe it was because they were just as unsure about catching Hawke as the military.

In short, without external support, it would be difficult for Betty to avenge her father on her own.

and so……

She chose to join the game herself, and probably marrying Bruce Banner was also part of her revenge plan.

Bruce Banner might not seek revenge for a former father-in-law who's hunting him down.

But Bruce Banner will definitely avenge his wife.

It would be even better if the wife is pregnant.

pity!

Betty Ross was not pregnant.

Hawke was sure of that.

He guessed that Betty had originally planned to launch her revenge plan by getting pregnant, but she might have just launched the plan after she found that she had not gotten pregnant, or after she found that it was impossible for her to get pregnant.

She was betting that if she got killed by Hawke, her newlywed husband Bruce Banner would avenge her.

Good plan.

Hawke also wants to see if Bruce Banner will seek revenge.

Because he also felt some regret after returning from Lake Culver.

The reason is simple.

Just like how Daigo can transform into Tiga again after losing his energy bar.

The Hulk is dead, but Bruce Banner is not.

Who knows if Bruce Banner will transform into the Hulk again.

So Hawke felt a little regretful after returning from Lake Culver that time.

But at that time, he still adhered to the principle that every wrong should be punished.

at the moment……

He gave Betty, who had joined the game, a chance.

Hawke is gone.

Bruce is back.

But when he came back, Hawke had been gone for more than two hours, and Betty Ross, lying on the floor, had become cold and stiff.

The moment Bruce looked at Betty's body on the floor, he felt as if he was hit on the head by a hammer. With a buzzing sound, he froze in place.

Victoria Hand, who happened to meet Bruce Banner downstairs and followed him up, also saw Betty's body.

The SHIELD satellite has been keeping an eye on this place.

She knew when Hawke left, but she didn't go upstairs. Instead, she waited until Bruce Banner came over and followed him up.

Victoria Hand looked at Bruce Banner, whose lips were twitching and tears were beginning to flow. She opened her mouth and was about to say something when she heard a roar.

"Betty!"

Bruce Banner roared, ran quickly to Betty's body and knelt down, then looked at his wife's body with disbelief in his eyes, his hands trembling, and touched Betty cautiously.

When Bruce Banner felt the coldness at his fingertips, he collapsed instantly.

He quickly hugged Betty's body and cried loudly.

Victoria Hand watched this scene, took a deep breath, and said nothing.

Bruce Banner hugged Betty's body and cried for a long time, from the sun rising to the sun setting.

Until Victoria Hand, who finally couldn't bear it anymore, came to pull him away, he fell to the side helplessly and watched the SHIELD agents who came to help collect Betty's body.

Bruce Banner, with dull eyes, fell to the ground as if he had lost all his strength and hope of survival.

Victoria Hand was silent for a moment.

"My condolences, Bruce."

"who."

"what?"

"Who did it?"

The three words "Bruce" were almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

Victoria Hand looked at Bruce and realized that Bruce Banner's eyes were red and a flame of revenge was spreading.

"Hawk."
