Chapter 217 Banner's Peep

sunny day.

Sean came to the Riverside Restaurant and sat in the outdoor dining area, enjoying a panoramic view of the serene beauty of the East Hudson River, with the cool breeze blowing in front of him, giving people a very comfortable feeling.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, Betty, who was dressed in a floral dress, arrived late. The first thing she said when she took her seat was to sincerely apologize to the young man. She has a sense of time, but before going out, she sat in front of the dresser and thought about it, and struggled for a long time, which led to the delay in her appointment.

Betty understands her father's thoughts. The general's father, who is uncompromising at home and extremely strong, hopes to personally choose a qualified husband candidate for her. It's science and experimentation.

And before Sean appeared, there was another suitor named Leonard Samson, a psychologist and Betty's colleague at Corwall University, who was quite academically accomplished, but the other party didn't Can win the favor of General Ross.

Until the last family dinner, her father's appreciation for Sean was beyond words, and he was picky. It is rare for a strict general to express his attitude so unabashedly. This made Betty wonder, what is worthy of that young man The highlight of admiration?

After a short contact, Betty found that the other party was humorous, gentle and sunny, without any vices or bad habits, and also aggressive in career. From the perspective of external conditions, she was indeed an impeccable spouse candidate.

After hesitating for a long time, she still decided to follow her father's will and have a tentative friendly contact with Sean. Just like General Ross advised, she can't always indulge in the past. Since the major experimental accident happened, There was no news of Banner, as if the world had evaporated.

Time has smoothed out the pain of the past, and Betty is determined to start out of the shadow of life.

"I ordered a black forest cake for you, one of the signature desserts here, I believe you should like it."

Sean didn't mind Betty's late arrival. Girls always have some privileges, and being late for a date is one of them.

Chef Evans, who delivered a glass of red wine, quietly gave the young man a thumbs up, his eyes revealing the tacit understanding between men. This is the second time he has served the young man, but the last time he brought The girl who came over was obviously not the current one.

Sean blinked and introduced to Betty softly: "This dessert is called 'cereal&milk'. It looks like a work of art. When you gently knock it open with a spoon, milk will flow out from the inside, overflowing with chocolate crispy shells and blackened milk underneath." Forest cake, with sea salt in it, which adds richness and layers, and a layer of crispy rice on the bottom, so you can enjoy chewing."

Following the young man's instructions, Betty picked up the milk-soaked cake and sipped it. The crispy sweetness of the chocolate and the softness of the cake overflowed her lips and tongue. It was indeed a unique dessert.

"It seems that you are very proficient in food?" She looked at Sean curiously. Not only the food, but also the decoration style of this riverside restaurant is quite in line with her own taste.

The interior is filled with soft orange lights, and the roof is covered with countless small light bulbs. The spacious dining area is like a stage center, and you can see a little bit of starlight when you look up. It is full of simple modern colors, but there is no shortage of creative Ingenuity.

"No, actually I can only cook Chinese food." Sean shook his head.

Soon he easily took the initiative in the conversation. Born in a military family, the general's beloved daughter with a reserved and conservative personality is a typical literary young woman. Apart from the scientific research on biological genes, ordinary leisure life Mostly read novels, especially Jane Austen and Agatha Christie.

Sean, who got the information from the general first, naturally chose to make a breakthrough from this aspect. The atmosphere of the conversation between the two of them was quite pleasant for a while, and it was not as embarrassing and cramped as Betty imagined before.

Not far away, Banner, wearing a baseball cap, witnessed this scene. This poor genius who was wanted by the military sneaked back to the laboratory of Corvo University in Virginia in order to obtain the data of the original experiment. It was found that all relevant data was deleted.

In desperation, he had no choice but to agree to the unknown Mr. Lan to come to New York to meet him in person. Before that, Banner wanted to meet his girlfriend whom he missed day and night.

Seeing that Betty had a good conversation with the young man and kept laughing, Banner naturally felt a sense of loss in his heart, but he didn't have any complaints. If it wasn't for the overconfidence and reckless start of the human experiment, the change The accident of his own fate will not happen. Massive gamma rays rush into the body, causing the terrifying Hulk to be born in his body.

Banner was originally just a smart scientist. His superhuman intelligence might be the only thing that differentiated him from others. Such a well-educated young man with a bright future lost his peaceful life because of an accidental experiment. His beloved girlfriend, and a promising future, became a fugitive on the military's most wanted list, living a life of fear and hiding in Tibet every day.

His spirit is under tremendous pressure. If he didn't have a way to control his emotions, he might have merged with Hulk long ago and completely turned into that angry Hulk.

This vicissitudes-faced genius has long been tired of this kind of homeless life of running away day and night, which is the direct reason why he is willing to take a huge risk to meet that Mr. Lan.

Banner took a deep breath, with a look of disappointment on his unshaven face. He tried various methods to get rid of the Hulk, and even swallowed a gun to commit suicide. However, even the power of death was deprived. The green monster spat out the bullet again.

After taking one last look at the smiling Betty, Banner quietly left, went to the public phone booth by the side of the street, and called Mr. Lan.

Solving Hulk's problem is the most important thing now. He has tried many methods, such as yoga, meditation, psychological counseling, etc. to control his emotions. As long as he controls his heart rate within two hundred, he will not kill Hulk. Shout it out, and once it's full of rage, the terrifying monster will roar out and destroy everything!
On the other end of the phone, Samuel Stern, aliased as Mr. Lan, was ecstatic when he heard that Banner agreed to meet with him. He grabbed his messy hair and looked at the recently hatched experimental sample—after many times After repeated improvements, he successfully made the animals bear the great changes brought about by the serum.

A white mouse as strong as a wolfhound was locked in a cage. Its sharp teeth made people shudder. The experimental samples injected with serum were full of aggressiveness. trace.

"I can get more!" Samuel was full of thoughts of getting rich.

If this serum is developed into a drug and sold at a high price, it will definitely cause crazy competition. By then, I, who has accumulated huge wealth, can build my own laboratory, just like that young man Sean Sipers, who has achieved great success and is full of achievements. honor.

Appearing on the cover of Time Magazine, becoming the most eye-catching dazzling existence in the academic world, entering the White House to be received by the president, the next Nobel Prize winner... Samuel Stern began to imagine.

Of course, the man and woman in the restaurant by the river were completely unaware of all this, but when Banner left, Sean suddenly sensed that two rotating lights and shadows seemed to appear in the spiritual world, the tiny human and the green The giants interweave and overlap.

When he turned his gaze, he didn't notice anything, the illusory light and shadow instantly shattered, as if it had never existed.

"What's wrong?" asked Betty, who was waving her long brown hair.

Xiao En shook his head with a smile, but he had a vague guess in his heart. Presumably, the hatred will soon usher in a powerful opponent it wants to defeat all its life.
