Striking Teammates

Stealthy Multi-Snake Fist was a signature ninja technique of a believer in scientific ninjutsu.

Russell didn't know any ninjutsu. 

However, that didn't stop him from imitating this move.

White tendrils emerged from his right hand, quickly converging into white serpentine forms.

Before Hulk could rise, these snake-like tendrils, resembling white pythons, wrapped around his left leg.

Hulk Smash!

This was a famous attack move of the Hulk.

Both Loki and Thor had the "privilege" of experiencing this move.

Though they both experienced the Hulk Smash, their experiences were slightly different.

When Loki experienced the Hulk Smash, as he was tossed around by Hulk, his captured foot was his right one.

But when Thor experienced the Hulk Smash, his captured foot was his left one.

Russell didn't know if Hulk's choice was intentional or not.

However, he mentally filled in the blanks.

When the target was female, the captured foot would be the right one.

When the target was male, the captured foot would be the left one.

Left for men, right for women!

This made sense!

Though Hulk didn't know what Russell was planning, when the tendrils, resembling white pythons, wrapped around his left leg, he instinctively felt a sense of danger.

Serum Smash!

Without giving Hulk time to break free or think, Russell suddenly turned around and used his right hand to fling Hulk away.

Boom!

Like a bullet fired from a gun, Hulk, with his left leg ensnared, shot up into the air and then crashed heavily onto the grass.

The immense impact caused the ground to tremble.

Hulk had just created a pit several meters in diameter in the grass, and he was thrown out once again.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom...

As Russell continued to toss Hulk around, subjecting him to repeated intimate encounters with the grass, General Ross's capture team finally arrived on the scene.

Staring at this brutally violent scene before them, the American soldiers present were left dumbfounded.

Though they had been assigned to capture a fugitive, they had no idea that the fugitive they were after was a green giant.

Apart from a few core members and soldiers like Blonsky who had participated in the Brazilian operation, most of them didn't know just how dangerous their target was.

This...

Watching Russell tossing Hulk around like a ragdoll, hearing the continuous deafening impacts.

The American soldiers on the scene couldn't help but swallow nervously.

While they were momentarily unsure whether to intervene in this inhuman combat, General Ross, sitting in the armored vehicle, issued the latest command.

"Do not interfere in the battle between the white soldier and the green target. Provide long-range firepower support to the white soldier when necessary."

After giving this latest order, General Ross, dressed in camouflage fatigues, got off the armored vehicle.

Just as he disembarked, Betty, wearing a polka-dot V-neck dress, ran up to him and stood in his way.

"Stop Pete, please!"

With an anxious expression, Betty pleaded with General Ross.

"Pete? Who's that?"

General Ross was momentarily puzzled.

Without a word, Betty extended her right hand, pointing towards Russell in the distance and said again, "Dad, I'm begging you, make Pete stop!"

Uh...

Betty didn't know Russell's real name; she only remembered the name Pete that Russell introduced himself with.

"Kid, you don't understand the situation!"

Though General Ross didn't know why Betty referred to Russell as Pete, it was clear that now was not the time to ponder that question.

After saying that, he grabbed Betty's arm, pulled her aside, and handed her over to the soldiers behind him.

Watching Russell, who was busy tossing Hulk around, General Ross's expression turned serious.

He had invited Russell to join the capture operation because he recognized Russell's extraordinary abilities.

However, he didn't expect that Russell, in addition to his superhuman physique, also concealed other superhuman abilities.

Although this took him by surprise, he was still satisfied with Russell's current display of power.

As he anticipated Russell's complete defeat of Hulk and successful capture of him, far away, Blonsky removed the communication earpiece from his ear.

Then, he discarded the rifle in his hand and snatched a grenade launcher from a nearby soldier.

After glancing at the number of grenades in the launcher, he raised it and started walking towards Russell.

"Blonsky, do not interfere, come back!"

Seeing Blonsky's abnormal behavior, General Ross shouted into the military communicator.

Just as General Ross finished speaking, Blonsky aimed the grenade launcher at Russell and decisively pulled the trigger.

Boom!

The small grenade exploded abruptly!

No one expected that Blonsky would attack Russell at this moment.

When the explosion's flames and smoke dissipated, Russell turned to face Blonsky, who was walking towards him.

When he had seen Blonsky at the Pentagon for the first time, he had noticed an inexplicable hostility directed at him from Blonsky.

However, he never expected that Blonsky would dare to attack him in front of everyone.

What's this?

Striking a teammate?

Though he didn't know what Blonsky was thinking, one thing was clear: he was annoyed right now.

True, he was currently undergoing the "Superhero Whitewashing Plan," but that didn't mean he was going to become a true hero.

He didn't want to become a Superman-like righteous superhero.

An unjust Superman or a patriotic hero? Those were the directions he was considering for his future.

After dispelling the shield on his back and the tendrils on Hulk's leg, he turned and began walking slowly towards Blonsky.

As he approached, Blonsky continued to fire at him without hesitation.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

A round of grenades flew toward Russell.

However, none of these grenades hit him; he casually deflected them with his right hand.

After the grenades were shot, Blonsky didn't hesitate. He threw away the grenade launcher and pulled out a handgun from his waist.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang...

As Blonsky switched to his handgun, Russell didn't even intend to block. He let Blonsky shoot at him.

A magazine of bullets was quickly emptied by Blonsky.

At the same time, Russell reached Blonsky.

"You know, you could've had much greater power!"
