Several people, as they had hoped, finally met the Expert they sensed, but the newcomer's appearance truly surprised them.
The one who came was a white man around 40 years old. He had a frail body and delicate features, wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and looked like a renowned scholar. He didn't look at all like the Expert they had sensed.
"Let me introduce you," Tony said, "Bruce Banner, the new houseguest at my Villa. He is a renowned nuclear physicist, and also a host to a terrifying Monster."
"Hello!" Fang Bie quickly stepped forward and extended his hand. He had heard of the Hulk's Name for a long time. Last time, he had taken care of an equally huge Monster, and this time he finally had the chance to meet the real person.
No wonder Tong Xuan said he sensed a huge Monster's Aura. It seemed the biggest Monster on Earth was likely this one right before them.
The Abomination from last time was actually quite different compared to the real Hulk. The gap was substantial.
"Come on, let's fight!" Tong Xuan said, seemingly unable to contain his erupting Fighting Spirit. This caused the gentle and refined Doctor in front of him to wear a look of utter confusion.
This, in turn, made Doctor Banner, who had just walked over, somewhat confused. "Why does someone want to fight me as soon as I arrive?" he seemed to wonder.
"Ahem, Banner," Tony coughed, "He sensed that 'big guy' inside you and wants to... discuss things with you."
As the human host of the Hulk, Doctor Banner had his own reservations. "No, I'd rather not," he said. "If he comes out, I can't control him, and it will be another big mess."
"Don't be afraid," Tony said, "Just drink a Bucket of Milk." He casually pulled a Bucket of Milk from the Void and placed it on the Coffee Table in front of them. "Don't worry about hurting them."
"It's not that I'm afraid..." Banner shook his head. "I just..."
He paused for a moment, unsure how to phrase his Words. "It's not that I *like* this kind of thing," he finally said, "but Hulk... he wants to come out. He wants a good, hearty fight!"
A few traces of ferociousness suddenly appeared on his previously fair Face, and a hint of Green Radiance started to show. *Doctor Banner, your Girlfriend didn't die in vain,* Fang Bie thought to himself sarcastically.
Fang Bie's inner monologue was quite a spectacle, but Iron Man's facial expression had already taken a turn for the worse.
"!!!" Tony had initially adopted a spectator Mentality, figuring that, in his understanding, they wouldn't actually fight. Everyone was just talking, and no one was really about to throw punches.
But after hearing those Words, he immediately panicked. He was acutely aware of the Hulk's destructive Power, and he also knew the terrifying Damage Ability of these Fellows from other Universes.
If they actually started fighting in his Villa, he'd have to find a new House to live in tonight.
"Don't fight here! Fight outside!" Tony said in a flurry. "There's a whole Grassland and a Sea outside. You can fight there!"
"Hulk…" Banner said, unable to suppress the Green Terror Monster within his Body. Even though he had been drinking those suppressive Potions, in reality, they were barely better than nothing.
His Face started to become ferocious, his Skin began to turn Green, and the huge Monster Body ripped through his Clothing, bursting out of the Room.
Tong Xuan set aside his Metal Rod and then stowed it in his Backpack. It was as if he had finally met his match. He sensed a long-dormant Hot-bloodedness from primordial times.
"Roar!" A savage roar, like that of a wild beast, erupted from his mouth. The Clothing he had conjured onto his Body had vanished completely, and his Body began to swell, growing to a size comparable to his opponent.
"My House…" Tony said, reaching out a hand in despair. The Living Room was already a complete wreck, utterly dilapidated from the growth of the two behemoths.
"Tong Xuan! Fight outside!" Fang Bie roared. His voice reached the Monkey's ears, causing both behemoths, who were just about to come to blows, to pause for a moment.
"Roar!" After all, Tong Xuan was simply experiencing an eruption of Fighting Spirit, not a mental breakdown. He roared at the Hulk, then his entire Body crashed through the Windshield in the Doorway and leaped off the Cliff ahead.
"Hulk!" The Hulk also let out a tremendous roar. A hint of ferociousness crossed his normally good-natured Face, and immense Power radiated from his feet.
"Bang!" The Floor shattered from the impact. The enormous Body, like a launched Stone, soared into the Sky, incidentally smashing Tony's prized Electronic Ceiling.
"I'm docking his pay!!!" Tony said, sounding mildly annoyed. But it was just talk. His financial resources could easily absorb such a loss.
"Shall we go down and watch?" Fang Bie suggested with interest.
The naturally belligerent Hulk and the Heavenly Monkey, who was so eager to fight, might create quite a Spark, he thought. He also wanted to see what kind of performance this Monkey, who had never appeared in the Original Story, would deliver.
"Let's go!" Hearing they were going to watch a show, Tony immediately perked up. He pressed a button on his Watch, and a piece of Metal instantly appeared beneath the Sofa they were sitting on. Blue Flames erupted from below, lifting the Sofa they were sitting on into the Sky.
"This is so flashy?" Fang Bie thought. He'd been about to ask to borrow a set of Iron Man's Armor, but he hadn't expected Tony to have such modification Methods available.
"Ha! Is there anything in this world that I, Tony, can't create?" He turned to the side triumphantly, settling back into his individual Sofa. Where was the dejection he'd shown earlier about his House being wrecked?
Of everyone present, Fang Bie was the only one who felt a bit uneasy. Because he couldn't fly, he was a little afraid of these Things falling out of the Air.
Although he knew he definitely wouldn't die from a fall, falling like this wouldn't be good for his Face (Prestige), would it?
But Tony's creations, after all, weren't some legendary goblin Technology. They still flew very sturdily to the edge of the Cliff below. A few Metal-like support struts extended from behind the Sofa, firmly anchoring it to the Cliff face.
"See this handle-like Thing?" Tony pointed to a handle on the seat beside him. "Press down to go down, lift up to go up. Very simple operating Method."
"Where are they?" Ye Fan asked, moving the handle beside him with Curiosity. The long Sofa they were sitting on immediately started to descend, lowering them to the Ground near the Seaside. They still hadn't seen any sign of the two Fellows who had jumped down.
"Whoosh!" A loud splash came from ahead. A Green behemoth swam up from the Sea. "Hulk!"
"Bang!" The sound of the Water Surface exploding echoed. A Monkey covered in black fur, with a massive and robust Body, also emerged from the Water Surface.
"This is no Monkey, it's practically a gorilla!" Ye Fan quipped. Several people simultaneously activated the Elevators at their sides and began to slowly ascend.
Now that they were back on Land, it seemed they were finally going to start fighting.
"Roar!" An intense roar echoed. Tong Xuan felt as if he had been transported back to ancient times in his Memory. His Footsteps pounded the Ground as he launched a heavy charge. The fur on his Body began to gradually turn snow-white as he charged.
Of course, the Hulk wasn't about to be outdone. The Muscles on his Body bulged at that moment. His Body, already over one Building story tall, immediately swelled even further, reaching a height of nearly two stories.
Close combat was imminent. The two behemoths were about to collide!
