A look of horror appeared on General Ross's face.
Fang Yuan disarmed them all with just a snap of his fingers, leaving General Ross utterly shocked.
But nicknamed "Thunderbolt General," he was no coward.
General Ross's face quickly darkened. "I am a general of the Military. You dare attack me?"
"Want to take Banner away?" He stepped closer. "Then you'll have to go over my dead bo— Argh!"
"Bang!"
Before General Ross could finish, a pistol in the air suddenly fired, hitting General Ross's right arm and making him cry out in pain.
He looked at Fang Yuan in disbelief, as if asking, "You actually dared to shoot?"
"Oops!"
Fang Yuan approached with an apologetic look. "Sorry, I didn't control it well, and it misfired."
He came over concernedly to check General Ross's wound and then whispered a greeting only the two of them could hear: "Not dead yet, are you?"
"What a pity. If you were dead, I could have taken Banner away over your corpse."
General Ross's breath hitched; he had a feeling Fang Yuan was telling the truth.
Then he noticed Fang Yuan eyeing his head, as if looking for the next spot for a "misfire."
General Ross suddenly realized Fang Yuan was different from any S.H.I.E.L.D. Agent he had dealt with before; no other Agent was as unscrupulous as Fang Yuan.
He really dared to kill him.
Thunderbolt General was fearless, but he was afraid of death.
He wasn't afraid of dying on the battlefield, but General Ross feared dying silently and without a sound.
After hunting Banner for so long and finally catching him, he was truly unwilling to give him up, but General Ross understood that if he died, everything would be gone.
Besides... he thought of Bronski. Bronski had also obtained power similar to the Hulk's, so even without the Hulk, he wouldn't be left with nothing.
In the end, General Ross could only finish with a tough-sounding remark.
"I will demand an explanation from Fury for everything that happened today!" he said with a dark expression.
Fang Yuan shrugged, not caring in the least about Fury's thoughts.
As for offending General Ross?
In Fang Yuan's eyes, it was even less of a big deal.
Although according to the normal trajectory, later General Ross would serve as Secretary of State, lead the Sokovia Accords, and even become the President.
But now that Fang Yuan was here, General Ross's political career would likely come to a premature end.
Bruce Banner was taken away by Fang Yuan, and Betty Ross went along with them.
Faced with a choice between her father and her boyfriend, she decisively chose her boyfriend.
Or rather, strictly speaking, her ex-boyfriend. After reuniting with Banner, Betty had even directly abandoned her current boyfriend.
They met up with Thor's group. After Fang Yuan briefly introduced Banner as an employee of Vought Corporation, Thor immediately became warm towards him.
Because Jane had specifically told him to get along well with his colleagues.
Banner was also very polite; he understood that only in a good atmosphere could he avoid being influenced by the Hulk.
It was just that the few pats Thor gave him to show friendliness were actually quite painful.
For this large group of people, Fang Yuan didn't bother arranging hotels. With a wave of his hand, he had them all move into Stark Tower.
After transmigrating, isn't it only natural to move into the protagonist's home?
Moreover, given Fang Yuan's status, it wouldn't be a problem no matter who he brought to stay; no one in the Stark family would stop him.
On the contrary, upon hearing the identities of the guests Fang Yuan brought back, Tony and Howard specifically rushed back from California.
Since Tony's Villa in California had just been demolished by Ivan's group, and Howard and Maria had returned, they were in the process of rebuilding a new family home.
Because of this, they missed the battle against Abomination in Harlem, New York.
Of course, Tony Stark learned about Thor immediately. They also knew about Banner and that the Hulk was a powerful character.
Now that these two had been brought to Stark Tower by Fang Yuan, Tony and Howard stopped building the house and flew back overnight.
"Wow, is this the lead from Point Break?" Tony was still his usual flippant self. "Look at those muscles."
*Point Break* is a movie whose protagonist is also a muscular man with messy blonde hair, bearing a resemblance to Thor's look, which is why Tony gave him that nickname.
Then he pointed at Banner.
"Dr. Bruce Banner, I've read many of your papers. We must have a lot of common ground to discuss."
Banner holds seven PhDs and, like Tony, is a top scientist.
"Of course." Tony tilted his head. "Provided you don't turn into that big green guy and tear down this tower."
Banner gave an awkward smile; he wasn't really used to dealing with extroverts like Tony.
"What big green guy?" Thor caught the keywords. "How does he compare to that grey monster I dealt with tonight?"
"Even more powerful than the grey monster," Fang Yuan explained.
Thor immediately perked up and suggested to Banner, "When shall we have a match?"
Having regained his power as the Thunder God, Thor's warlike nature had also returned.
Only now, compared to before, Thor was warlike but not bloodthirsty.
Clearly, Tony preferred Bruce Banner, while Thor preferred the Hulk.
And Fang Yuan?
He liked both.
"They've both joined Vought. I'll start the publicity for them tomorrow," Fang Yuan said to Howard.
Howard was surprised. "You're really going to make them stars?"
Fang Yuan nodded. "Of course, not just stars. Thor needs to popularize what the real Asgard is like to the public, and Banner needs the outside world to correctly perceive the Hulk."
Both reasons were very sound, and Howard and the others accepted them.
Only then did Banner find an opportunity to hurry over and shake hands with Howard.
"Mr. Stark, it's a pleasure to meet you. Many of your concepts have been very inspiring to me!" Banner was delighted; to him, Howard was someone straight out of a textbook.
Howard also liked top scientists like Banner; communicating with someone of the same caliber would be very beneficial for him as well.
Both Howard and Banner were the kind of people whose photos could be hung on the walls of school classrooms.
And Tony?
Compared to publishing papers, he preferred doing his own research and enjoying his own results.
So everyone knew he was powerful, but exactly how powerful, no one knew.
So the next day, Tony took Howard, Fang Yuan, Thor, and Banner to Vought, a subsidiary of Stark Industries.
In the prime real estate of Manhattan, New York, Vought Entertainment actually had its own office building.
"Because Dad used to value this company quite a bit, Vought Entertainment has always had resource support and has developed fairly well," Tony explained.
Fang Yuan didn't call him out.
Having a corporate building in Manhattan wasn't just "fairly well"; it should be considered excellent.
Clearly, because of Howard, Tony took good care of this company.
Walking into the company building, they saw many works of Vought Entertainment hanging on the walls, the most prominent being a dark-themed poster.
"*Batman and Batgirl*?" Fang Yuan read the movie title in a strange tone and then looked at Howard. "You actually made a Batman movie?"
The last time Fang Yuan was in the Marvel Universe, he had indeed proposed the concept of a Batman movie to Howard. After all, Howard's character traits were strangely similar to Batman's.
He thought the movie had died with his disappearance, but to his surprise, Howard had actually filmed it.
And judging by the name, it was a movie Howard used to pick up girls, as the actress playing Batgirl was a popular star from the 50s.
"Of course, it was a box office hit!" Howard said triumphantly.
"In fact, I've made three Batman movies in total."
He introduced them excitedly: "This is the second one. The first was *Batman Arrives*, and the third was *Batman Forever*. Unfortunately, the third one had terrible reviews."
"Alright." Howard waved his hand and said to Fang Yuan, "This company was originally yours, and now it's returned to its rightful owner!"
Fang Yuan accepted it without hesitation.
As expected, it's good to have a large conglomerate backing you; the starting point of Marvel's Vought was much better than in the X-Men World.
So, after Fang Yuan took over as President, the first news he had Vought Entertainment release was—
"Vought Entertainment Signs Thunder God Thor!"
"Thunder God Becomes an Artist? Vought Entertainment Emerges as the Biggest Winner!"
"Revealing the Truth Behind Vought Entertainment: Iron Man May Be the Power Behind the Scenes!"
The news that the newly emerged Superhero, Thunder God Thor, had actually become an entertainment artist immediately caused a social sensation.
Countless people shouted, "This is crazy!"
The Marvel Universe is not like The Boys World; the Vought Corporation in The Boys World has been working for decades, establishing a fertile ground for Superhero entertainment.
In the Marvel Universe, superheroes have only just begun to appear in clusters.
However, compared to Thor, the news of the Hulk also becoming a signed artist for Vought Entertainment was directly overshadowed and didn't make a single ripple.
Only when reporting on Thor's battle with Abomination did some media occasionally mention this big green guy sitting on the edge of the battlefield; others were not very interested.
Between a biochemical freak and a Norse god, everyone knows who to pay attention to.
Fang Yuan didn't have a better solution for this. After all, he was primarily promoting Thor during this time, so he could only let the Hulk suffer a bit in terms of resources for now.
Banner, however, felt quite comfortable. After joining Vought, he was free from Military pursuit and wouldn't have his life disrupted by too much attention.
Even a flop has the joys of being a flop.
Thor, on the other hand, was much busier. Fang Yuan arranged numerous interviews, reality shows, and Vought's traditional crime-fighting activities for him, making Thor's popularity unrivaled. In just over a week, he had become the hottest star, with his fame jumping to 85.
Given that the battle with Abomination was his only iconic hero event so far, Thor's fame was indeed rising much faster.
Most importantly, Thor himself really enjoyed the feeling of having crowds of people cheering for him wherever he went.
Seeing that Thor's fame was sufficient, Fang Yuan proceeded with the next step of his plan.
So, not long after the Stark Expo, another piece of news once again caught widespread public attention—
"Thunder God Thor Becomes an Outer Disciple of Kamar-Taj!"
