Chapter 180: A life for a life (Fourth update, seeking subscriptions!!!)

As soon as Nick Fury's words came out.

Bruce was instantly stunned on the spot.

The next second.

With a swoosh, he looked back at the tombstone in front of him.

Coming into view.

Betty in the tombstone photo seemed to be smiling at him.

The smile was bright.

Bruce was silent.

An hour later.

Bruce Banner, who had returned to the apartment, walked out of the bedroom holding a cardboard box containing the items Betty Ross had used, followed the stairs, and returned to the living room on the first floor.

He cautiously took down the wedding photo on the wall, and after placing it against the wall, sat on the floor with a thud, looking at the wedding photo in front of him.

Bruce was looking very intently.

Just at this moment.

Ding-dong.

Bruce, who had come back to his senses, took out his mobile phone, opened the email Nick Fury had just sent, looked at the checkup report from the S. H. I. E. L. D. hospital in the email, did not speak, just found Nick Fury's number, and dialed it.

The call was connected quickly.

"Bru..."

"Are you also a part of the plan, or was this plan formulated with your help, Nick?"

"What?"

Nick Fury on the other end of the phone, hearing this sentence from Bruce Banner, could not help but be stunned, and his heart skipped a beat.

Bruce looked at the wedding photo in front of him with calm eyes.

"Betty knew that the murderer who killed General Ross and the murderer who killed Hulk were the same person; you should have been the one to tell Betty that too."

"What?"

"I'm not a fool, Nick."

Bruce Banner's voice was also very calm, while looking at Betty, who seemed to be smiling at him in the wedding photo, he said to Nick Fury on the other end of the phone very calmly, and laughed self-deprecatingly: "My IQ might not be high, but it is definitely above yours; however, I now wish my IQ was not as high as yours."

Nick Fury on the other end of the phone did not speak immediately; after his breathing became slightly heavier for a few seconds, he spoke again.

"I don't understand, Bruce, you..."

"Betty could not be pregnant; at the very least, I don't have the ability to make Betty pregnant."

"What?"

"I was once exposed to high-intensity gamma rays."

Bruce took a deep breath, his gaze looking gloomily at the wedding photo in front of him: "I'm curious, Betty hoped I would transform into Hulk again to avenge General Ross, then what about you, Nick? What did you create such a fake pregnancy report for? Did Betty ask you to?"

In a flash of lightning.

Nick Fury on the other end of the phone also could not help but laugh self-deprecatingly.

"Yes."

"You are lying, Nick."

"What?"

"Once again, my IQ might not be high, but it is definitely higher than yours."

Bruce Banner's tone was gloomy.

"I once hid everywhere under General Ross's pursuit; for some people, whether they are lying or not, even if we don't meet, I can make the correct judgment through their tone, and you, Nick, you lied."

"I..."

"But your IQ is really not that great; clearly Betty had already rejected your proposal, yet you still did it. I'm curious, why?"

Bruce Banner, while interrupting Nick Fury on the other end of the phone, took out another mobile phone from his bosom, then found the last video Betty left behind in the phone's videos, and clicked to play it.

The recording time of the video was exactly the morning of the day Betty died.

Betty was sitting on the sofa with a calm face, facing the camera in front of her.

"Bruce, when you see this video, I will already be dead."

"I'm very sorry."

"I have thought about forgetting everything, following you, and starting a new life together."

"Really."

"But I can't do it. My father might not be good in the eyes of many people, but in my eyes, he is the best."

"In the years I was separated from you, I could never forget every bit of being with you."

"Likewise, I could never forget the tragic state of my father's death."

"..."

"When I finally made up my mind and prepared to take action, Nick Fury knew about this matter and provided me with a good method."

"Pregnancy, this is an important bargaining chip to ensure that you can avenge me after I enter the game with my own body."

"But I refused."

"I could use love to kidnap you into avenging me."

"But I will absolutely never use deception to kidnap you into avenging me."

"..."

"He is here."

"Finally, Bruce, no matter what decision you make, please remember, I love you; at the very least, at the moment I walked into the city hall with you, I married you because I loved you."

"Farewell, Bruce."

"Betty, who will always love you."

"..."

Betty's video ended here.

Bruce, after the video message ended, said to Nick Fury, whose heavy breathing was coming from the other end of the phone: "Nick, you didn't expect Betty to have a last word left for me, did you."

Indeed, he did not expect it.

Nick Fury on the other end of the phone thought to himself.

However...

"He is too dangerous."

"We need someone who can step forward and stop everything from happening when he does unpredictable things."

"Natasha and Barton won't do."

"Captain America won't do either."

"Tony Stark has also already decided to remove the reactor from his chest and no longer be Iron Man."

"Thor has not appeared again since he went back."

"Right now, only you, Bruce, only you, who can reawaken Hulk, can stop everything from happening."

"So, I am very sorry for Betty's death."

"But Bruce, you should stand up."

Nick Fury explained in a deep voice on the other end of the phone.

In short, the core idea was just one.

Hawkeye is too dangerous and needs to be controlled by us, and you, Bruce Banner, are the best weapon we have to control Hawkeye.

But...

Bruce, hearing Nick Fury's abacus being discovered, could not help but laugh, feeling no regret at all, but instead explaining with righteous indignation.

"Nick Fury, you are truly hypocritical."
