Chapter 140: Long Talk (3)

“Is someone targeting you?” Tony Stark asked in surprise.

“I’m not sure, but that should be the case. There’s no benefit in simply provoking Bruce. And if he does it when I come, then the possibility of him targeting me is very high. If this continues, Bruce won’t have a peaceful life.”

After listening, Bruce Banner said, “They want to kill you?”

“Pretty much. They didn’t see me transporting Blackadder here, so they used such a plan. The internal SHIELD is not peaceful. Tony has to be careful. Don’t trust anyone except Phil.”

“What about Nick Fury? He can’t be trusted either?”

“He is the head of the agents. You have to listen carefully to what he says, but he will not harm you. There is another organization inside SHIELD, which is very mysterious and powerful. I told you at the last hearing that they wanted your armor, and now it is not the first time they want to kill me.”

Tony Stark thought about it and then asked, “Why didn’t they kill me?”

“Because you’re not a big threat. You’re basically no threat to me because you don’t work inside SHIELD. And my appearance has cost them a lot, especially since the New York Division has been wiped out, so they’re more willing to kill me without exposing themselves.”

Bruce Banner basically understood after listening. “You mean, if you continue to monitor me, they might still do it?”

“That’s what I mean, but maybe they will do it at other times. Who knows? As far as I know, Hydra has existed for thousands of years and originated from aliens who came to Earth in ancient times. They treat aliens as gods. However, you should know from the name Hydra that this is not a good thing.”

“Then why didn’t they come and snatch my Iron Man Armor? They just held a hearing without any pain?” Tony Stark’s narcissistic personality flared up again.

“Tony, at the moment, they are in hiding. They generally won’t provoke an existence like you. You want technology and force. You don’t care if SHIELD loses a lot of money, so they won’t provoke you.”

Wesley paused for a moment before continuing. “Bruce, it’s time for you to decide. Instead of living a homeless life, why don’t you form a comprehensive laboratory with us? You can use your talent there and get the best protection.”

Bruce Banner hesitated for a moment and finally nodded in agreement. “Well, since it doesn’t matter where I hide, I might as well not hide.”

Tony Stark was pleased. “That’s right. You don’t need to hide. Wesley’s legal team and I are your strongest backup. If anyone wants to achieve their goal by force, we’re just as fearless.”

“Not bad. Now we need to plan how to return to the United States.”

“Wesley, do you need a plan to go home?” Tony Stark did not understand.

“Yes, the interior of S.H.I.E.L.D. is very unsafe, so our plan to go back can’t be notified to the country first. Then we need to go back quietly. You know, it’s not safe to fly in the sky.”

Bruce Banner asked nervously, “So are we taking the boat?”

Wesley shook his head and said, “No, we still do planes. Tony, your private plane will fly to other countries first and then fly to Brazil to pick us up. At that time, we will leave in your plane and return to the United States. Instead of New York and Washington, we will go to California. Bruce will live in your villa until the specific location is selected and built.”

Tony Stark thought for a moment. “You mean we hide him? Are you sure we can hide him from everyone?”

“More or less. You can fly here at random and bring the Iron Man Armor with you. On the way back, you can leave with Bruce halfway. Then there will be no record of Bruce at the airport. Of course, you can do the same on the plane.”

“Beautiful smuggling, but what will happen in the future?”

“It will be easy in the future. Once we complete the construction of the comprehensive research institute, it will be difficult to attack that place. Am I right? Is there any weapon in Stark Industries that hasn’t been sold out?”

After a long discussion between the three of them, Wesley drove Bruce Banner back to the city and returned to his place of residence. There was no way to stay here anymore. Wesley asked him to pack his things and find a hotel to stay in.

“Sir, are we still watching?” The subordinates felt that Wesley’s approach was not appropriate. They were completely exposed.

“There’s no need to monitor. You’re on vacation. If you want to go out and have fun, go ahead. If you don’t want to go, just stay here. Also, you can’t contact headquarters or report. Remember, this is an order. This is not a simple matter. Do you understand?” Wesley didn’t say anything explicitly. Now was not the time to tell them. The people brought here this time can be trusted, but they don’t know the full rights.

Wesley himself checked into the hotel. He wanted to protect Bruce Banner before Tony Stark arrived, not to keep him safe, but to keep him from hurting others.

Tony Stark moved quickly. Three days later, his private jet landed in the city and the three of them met in a hotel room.

“Hello, can I call you Bruce too?” Tony Stark took the initiative.

“Of course, please come all the way here for me.” Dr. Bruce Banner shook hands with Tony Stark.

“It doesn’t matter. It’s my honor to have you join us. Wesley is indeed suitable to make friends. He can always persuade them.”

“Okay, let’s sit down and talk. Let’s discuss the steps of the plan.” Wesley asked the two of them to sit down and then said, “Tony, your plane leaves tomorrow. Then you fly down in the Iron Man Armor and pick up Bruce. The location is near the coastline.” Wesley pulled up the map in his notebook and pointed.

“Will it be the same when we go back?”

“That’s right. Although the route can’t be adjusted on the way back, the speed and altitude can be adjusted. Send Bruce to your villa and then return to the plane. Then everyone can do what they need to do.”

With the plan confirmed, Bruce returned to the United States safely, and Wesley continued to live in the hotel. What he had to do was to attract the attention of others, no matter who they were. Anyone who was watching Bruce Banner was firmly attracted here.
