Chapter 65: Departing After the Matter

That's right, bears can also curse... no.

Although Abomination had lost his sanity, he couldn't resist this bewitching voice that echoed in his mind.

How could he tolerate being called a mere beast?!

So Abomination spared the trembling pickup truck and turned around, charging towards Oaks once again.

In fact, Oaks had considered that these reporters were so dedicated... Why not let them fulfill their duties and die in the line of duty?

But in the end, he couldn't bear it in his heart.

Ignoring the exposure, Oaks shouted and lured Abomination's hatred back, transforming into a cheetah and starting to kite him—

The wounds torn open by Oaks earlier were still bleeding heavily.

After running around the area for dozens of seconds, the effects of the taunting and tearing had mostly dissipated. Oaks transformed into a giant bear once again, charging, stunning, and applying various bleeding debuffs with his paws before transforming into a cheetah—then kiting again.

[TN: Kiting refers to keeping an enemy chasing you while also keeping it at a range where it cannot attack you. This tactic is often used to more safely attack the enemy using a long-range attack or to distract the enemy while others attack it.]

Whenever Abomination wanted to run somewhere else, Oaks would taunt him back with a shout.

As for Abomination's powerful jumping ability, which could rival even the Hulk's, Oaks could neutralize it just as he did with the Hulk. How could Abomination compare?

A news pickup truck parked some distance away observed everything, understanding that this incredible bear couldn't hold up against the monster.

However, who was the real monster? The monster vs. the monster?

General Ross, who had gone back to regroup with the military, returned quietly at this moment.

He understood clearly from the communication device that this... monster holding back Abomination was an ally, a consultant with special abilities sent by S.H.I.E.L.D.

However, S.H.I.E.L.D. also mentioned that this was just a delay, and the real problem solver was on the way...

Traffic jam.

General Ross almost smashed his phone when he heard this.

But he finally breathed a sigh of relief. Next, he had to minimize the probability of facing a military court and reduce his culpability if he ended up there.

In other words, redeem himself through merit.

Since he had no qualifications to join the battlefield, all he could do was rally the military and command them to provide swift relief efforts.

He also took the opportunity to extend the warmest greetings to the New York Police Department, which arrived late—given that he had caused this incident, the enthusiasm of those greetings wasn't very high.

Time passed slowly under Oaks' unhurried kiting. With a honking sound from a passing car, Oaks turned his head to take a look.

"What the hell! May, you petty woman!"

A small smart car appeared amidst the debris and more car wrecks. It looked so small, pitiful, and helpless.

Banner got out of the car tremblingly and instinctively felt nauseous.

"I... I'm here... Ugh!"

"Whoosh—"

"Ah!! My car!!"

While Oaks was distracted, Abomination picked up a car from the ground and smashed it towards Banner—

Even though his mind was almost burnt out and he had been kited for so long, Abomination, who had accumulated overflowing rage, immediately sensed Banner... no, the Hulk inside him!

"Roar—!!"

In the next moment, Melinda rolled out of the driver's seat with a tactical roll, only to see the well-mannered Dr. Banner transform into the rampaging green giant before her eyes. With a swipe of his hand, he smacked the incoming car away.

"Big Bear! Friend! Hulk! Teach him a lesson!"

Seeing Hulk join the battle with excitement, Melinda felt a bit lost for a moment.

"Friend? That bear... Oaks? How did he do that!"

So, a few seconds later, Nick Fury at the Headquarters received firsthand information from Melinda.

"What did you say? Hulk called Oaks 'friend'?"

Nick Fury's left hand trembled, unconsciously patting his bald head, as he spoke with a serious tone while confirming again on the phone in his right hand.

"Are you sure it wasn't Banner who said that?"

"I'm sure, Director. Although Dr. Banner and Dr. Oaks seem to have known each other for a long time and Banner even joined his company, their friendship is strong... but what Hulk said just now was after he transformed."

Melinda's tone was filled with disbelief.

"And, they are currently cooperating—"

Yes, you heard it right. Hulk can cooperate with Oaks, and his movements aren't as erratic as described in the records. He is actively cooperating!"

"Melinda, you should know what this means."

Nick Fury's voice became calm again, but Melinda could sense his underlying excitement.

"Yes, Director. It means... that Hulk, at least when Oaks is present, can be considered non-threatening."

Although she didn't understand why the Director was so excited, Melinda's own speculation was probably in line with General Ross's intentions of wanting to use Hulk as a "weapon."

Regarding the matter of Hulk, although S.H.I.E.L.D. had cooperated to some extent, they still couldn't stand the military's arrogant attitude and had clashed with them numerous times.

Now, the mess caused by General Ross was putting the initiative back into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s hands.

With the connection to Oaks and this support operation, S.H.I.E.L.D. could maintain a friendly relationship with the military at the very least and deliver a solid blow to their reputation by placing the blame squarely on them.

In the process, the military would have to make some concessions in a series of power affairs concerning S.H.I.E.L.D.

There were many things involved in this.

One had to admit that Melinda, as a high-ranking agent, had basically figured out what Nick Fury was thinking, except for the most important part.

"But that monster is a problem..."

A cold light flashed in Nick Fury's one eye.

He seemed to have "seen" the ecstatic joy of some annoying individuals.

On the battlefield, Oaks was clearly aware of the trouble Abomination caused.

This uncontrollable guy with a burnt-out mind and uncontrolled power couldn't be allowed to live.

However, killing Abomination was not something he could do, at least not overtly.

And Hulk's words were inappropriate as well.

After all, the little pickup truck was still tirelessly filming the scene.

For many people, "accepting killing" and "defeating" were two completely different things.

Especially for those who constantly touted the so-called "human rights"—the true identity of Abomination was an elite special forces soldier.

"Tsk, there's no other choice but to use the inventory from this period..."

Looking at his own smart car, Oaks adjusted his position and was struck by Abomination, flying next to the small car.

"Hey! May, can you move my car further away? I'll personally give you a beauty treatment when we get back!"

Melinda, who was hiding nearby, rolled her eyes and saw Oaks turn around and charge back. She reached into the car with one hand holding the phone and drove the car a bit further away.

"Hmm? Why is the fuel gauge empty?"

And not long after, as Hulk continued to weaken Abomination, Oaks quietly infused a faint, elusive energy into Abomination's body.

"Let's go, the clean-up crew is here..."

Seeing that Melinda had already driven the car to retreat and hearing the roar of the helicopter overhead, Oaks, in his cheetah form, gradually disappeared.

Hulk, on the other hand, stepped on the deeply unconscious Abomination, let out a furious roar to declare his victory, and then took a deep look at his approaching father-in-law, General Ross, before leaping into the sky and disappearing from his sight.

Indeed, it was the~ "Departing After the Matter, Concealing One's Identity~"
