According to normal protocol, General Ross did indeed have the right to take Bruce Banner, and Adam couldn't openly stop him.
But it didn't matter; as long as he stalled until Bruce Banner woke up, it would be easy to handle.
"Adam, don't go too far! Those weaklings might fear you, but I don't!"
Seeing that Adam didn't acknowledge it at all, General Ross immediately became furious.
As a General in the Military, he already had a strong dislike for Superheroes like Adam, especially since they dared to form a League of Heroes and openly interfere with the government's power.
For the Military, these so-called Superheroes were all potential threats, and the League of Heroes was a hidden nuclear bomb that could explode at any time.
So, the best approach was to capture all these Superheroes and take them to laboratories, then study their abilities and transfer them to loyal soldiers in the army.
However, the League of Heroes had too high a reputation in front of the public to act openly, and many high-ranking officials were also wary of the power of the League of Heroes and Adam, which was why they had always compromised.
But for him, Adam was powerful, but not so much to worry about, including Apocalypse last time.
Last time, it was mainly because Magneto's ability was too restraining for the Military's weapons, and Apocalypse caught them off guard, releasing all nuclear bombs into space.
Otherwise, if they had been prepared, as long as they were willing to make some sacrifices, they could certainly take down these people.
If machine guns and tanks didn't work, then missiles; if missiles didn't work, then nuclear bombs. He didn't believe that Adam could withstand a nuclear bomb, could he?
Moreover, everyone has weaknesses, family, friends, these could all be exploited.
One person's strength cannot contend with an entire country. Magneto couldn't do it, Professor X couldn't do it, and Adam couldn't do it either.
"Oh, really?"
Adam's mouth curved into a smile, and General Ross's body instantly stiffened.
Subsequently, the four little swans became five little swans, and General Ross tried to open his mouth but found it tightly shut, unable to make any sound.
The soldiers in the armored vehicles and tanks behind, watching their General in front suddenly start dancing while speaking, were also momentarily stunned.
A moment later, Bruce Banner slowly opened his eyes.
The time in the mental space was different from the outside World, just like feeling several years pass in a dream, while in reality, less than an hour might have passed.
So, the few minutes Bruce Banner had his eyes closed in reality, he had actually communicated with Hulk for a long time within his mental space.
"How was the chat?"
Adam asked.
Bruce Banner was silent for a while, then slowly sighed:
"You're right, he is actually me, the angry side of my personality, and he is indeed still a child."
The conversation in the mental space made him understand that Hulk wasn't a monster, but even so, he still couldn't accept another version of himself that quickly.
"What's going on with them?"
At this moment, he also noticed the five people dancing the swan dance, especially General Ross.
Adam secretly lifted the spell:
"Perhaps they're just too happy."
"Adam, how dare you humiliate me like this!
Hand over Bruce Banner, the criminal who dared to conduct human experiments without authorization, and let me take him away. I won't hold it against you, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
After returning to normal, General Ross immediately pressed a button in his pocket in a fit of rage.
Upon receiving General Ross's signal, the nearby tanks, armored vehicles, armed helicopters, and soldiers all aimed their guns at Adam. As soon as General Ross pressed another button, they would launch an attack.
Bruce Banner immediately became anxious upon hearing this and explained to Adam:
"You can't let him take me away, he..."
Dodging behind Adam, Bruce Banner quickly recounted his experiences and General Ross's plans.
He knew that at this moment, only Adam, the strongest of the Superheroes, could help him.
If Adam was truly a Superhero who pursued justice, as reported on television.
If all else failed, he would have no choice but to release Hulk again to help him escape, but if Adam blocked him, he still wouldn't be able to escape.
"Nonsense! You clearly conducted illegal experiments, and you still dare to shirk responsibility!"
General Ross immediately roared, signaling four soldiers to move forward and apprehend Bruce Banner, while simultaneously placing his hand on another button.
He certainly didn't want to fall out with Adam temporarily, but if Adam insisted on helping Bruce Banner, then he could only launch a direct attack.
If Adam resisted, it would mean going against the entire Military.
He had witnessed Hulk's power; so many Superheroes and their cooperation couldn't take down Hulk, and it was only when Adam arrived that he was dealt with.
But could Adam deal with one Hulk, and in the future, could he deal with a hundred, a thousand, and ten thousand Hulks?
Therefore, he had to take Bruce Banner today, even if it meant a real confrontation with Adam.
"What? There's such a thing? General Ross, you're actually going to start a Third World War!"
Adam looked at General Ross with an incredulous expression.
General Ross's face, in turn, changed. Some things could be done but absolutely not spoken of, especially actively provoking a World War. That charge was too serious.
If it got out, the spit of his own country's citizens could drown him, and the President wouldn't let him off either.
Moreover, he wasn't really trying to actively provoke a World War; he just knew it was inevitable and wanted to prepare in advance.
"Adam, it seems you're determined to oppose me!"
"General Ross, in order to maintain World peace and for justice, please come back with us to accept an investigation."
Adam looked at General Ross with a serious expression.
Just now, General Ross taking Bruce Banner was in accordance with the protocol. Now, what General Ross was doing involved World peace, so him taking General Ross naturally also conformed to the protocol.
Moreover, he wasn't making things up; with a little investigation, details about the "Army Biochemical Power Enhancement Project" would be exposed, and what Bruce Banner said could also be confirmed.
While it wouldn't be as serious as provoking a World War, many aspects definitely did not comply with the law.
"You!"
Upon hearing that Adam not only wouldn't hand over Bruce Banner but also bit back and wanted to arrest him too, General Ross was so angry that he almost pressed the attack button.
However, he thought of Adam just now, who had made his body uncontrollable without him even noticing. If he attacked now, he wouldn't be able to escape either.
So he forcefully suppressed his anger and said:
"Since you don't believe me, please wait a moment. I'll go back and get some evidence to show you."
After speaking, without waiting for Adam's reply, he immediately turned and strode towards his command vehicle.
He wouldn't sit idly by, and he didn't believe Adam could withstand the attack of his troops.
Now was different from before; his most elite troops had arrived, various high-powered sniper rifles were hidden in the shadows, and twenty more armed fighter jets were controlling the airspace...
