Chapter 83 Magma Fruit
General Ross wants him to go to Washington?
After hanging up the phone, Roger frowned slightly.

Obviously, when General Ross asked him to go to Washington, it was definitely not about strengthening the serum.

Although the enhanced serum was good, it wasn't enough for General Ross to invite him over.

If it wasn't for the enhanced serum, then there was only one reason why General Ross invited him.

General Ross has taken a fancy to him, to be precise, he has taken a fancy to his strength.

Apart from this, he didn't think there was anything about him that could attract General Ross's attention.

The next morning, Roger arrived at Norman Osborn's private airport on time.

He is obviously not the only one who is going to Washington, and Norman Osborn is also going to Washington.

It's just that, unlike Roger, who didn't know why General Ross wanted to see him for the time being, Norman Osborn was very clear about the purpose of his trip.

He is going to Washington to sign a new cooperation order with the military.

Through General Ross, Norman Osborn once again received military orders.

Although the amount of the order is not particularly amazing, it can be considered a good business.

When taking a private jet to Washington, Norman Osborn intentionally or unintentionally brought up the matter of strengthening the serum, trying to acquire the serum formula in Roger's hands.

For Norman Osborn's acquisition request, Roger refused without thinking.

The enhanced serum is now the only item he can trade with the military. If he sells the formula of the serum to Norman Osborn, his relationship with the military that has not been fully established will disappear completely.

Although Roger rejected his acquisition request, Norman Osborn didn't take it too seriously.

Unlike Roger, who only had the enhanced serum on hand, the Osborne Group had a large amount of goods that could be traded with the military.

In the chatter without saying a word, the private plane landed at a private airport in Washington.

General Ross said he was inviting Roger to Washington, but the real meeting place was the Pentagon in Arlington County, southwest of Washington.

After arriving at the Pentagon together in Norman Osborn's car, they were taken to different rooms by Pentagon guards.

Norman Osborn, of course, went to sign a new order contract, while Roger, led by a female soldier, came to General Ross's office.

"Come on, sit down!"

General Ross in military uniform said while smoking a cigar while not forgetting to sign the document in front of him.

Roger didn't hesitate, and sat directly in front of General Ross.

As soon as he sat down, the female soldier who brought him to the office took out a document and handed it to him.

"Look at this document first!"

General Ross' voice sounded again.

After receiving the file from the female soldier, Roger opened the file and quickly browsed through it.

This is……

Although before coming here, he had some hunch.

But after seeing this top-secret document, he couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Dr. Bruce Banner...gamma energy experiment accident...target missing...

Although he hasn't read the entire document yet, Roger can already guess the purpose of General Ross looking for him.

This is really worthy of me!
General Ross may not know what Dr. Bruce Banner has become, but Roger knows it all.

That's the Hulk!

A real biological weapon!
"After reading it, do you have any thoughts?" General Ross closed the signed documents in front of him and said silently.

"Nothing in particular." Roger replied calmly.

"You are not an ordinary person, so I will tell you straight."

"I hope you can help arrest him. He has confidential information belonging to the military, and his existence also involves national security."

"If you can successfully capture him, I can give you the same treatment as the Osborne Group."

As expected of a soldier, General Ross was not as careful as a businessman, and he stated his purpose and conditions very straightforwardly.

I don't know how many companies want to win orders from the military, even the famous Stark Industries is no exception.

But not all companies can eat the cake in the hands of the military.

From the perspective of cooperation, the conditions offered by General Ross are definitely generous.

However, what really moved Roger now was not the conditions given by General Ross, but the bounty mission information that suddenly appeared in his mind.

"Bounty task: capture Dr. Bruce Banner; task reward: magma fruit; task progress: not completed."

When this bounty mission silently appeared in his mind, Roger immediately made a decision.

"no problem!"

"However, I can't do this kind of thing alone. I can only be responsible for the arrest. Other things need to be handled by you!"

This is the first time the system has given a task reward for natural fruits.

And it is also the magma fruit owned by Akainu.

Although this fruit is not Roger's favorite natural fruit, it cannot be denied that it is a very good natural fruit.

More importantly, the mission calls for capturing Dr. Bruce Banner, not the Hulk.

This means that the task may have the possibility of completing it by tricks.

"Of course, besides you, I will also arrange a combat team to cooperate with you."

After finishing speaking, General Ross said to the female soldier, "Let Bronski in."

Soon, a soldier in military uniform walked in who didn't look particularly strong.

"Blonsky will lead the team to cooperate with you, and I will personally direct the arrest operation."

Upon hearing Blonsky's name, Roger immediately thought of the Hulk's nemesis, Emil Blonsky.

"If you have no other questions, we can go now."

"Now?"

"Yes, now! We have locked the position of the target!"

More than an hour later, Roger, wearing a custom-made black suit, boarded a military transport plane to Porto, Brazil.

Although he can be regarded as a vigorous and decisive person, he has to admit that he was a little surprised by this arrangement of General Ross.

At first, he thought that General Ross was just buying insurance for future capture missions.

Unexpectedly, General Ross had already prepared everything needed for the mission.

It can even be said that whether he agrees or not, this military transport plane will fly to Brazil on time to perform its mission.

"Remember the location of the target. This is an arrest mission. You need to use an anesthesia gun. You can't shoot unless it is absolutely necessary."

"The local police will assist, but they cannot startle the snake."

The female soldier, General Ross's secretary, was distributing Dr. Banner's materials while conducting a mission briefing.

"Is he in the military?" Bronski asked, looking at Banner's photo.

"He is an important fugitive wanted by the government for stealing military secrets and for killing two scientists, an army officer, a policeman, and two Canadian hunters."

"So don't care if he's military or not, anesthetize him and bring him back."
