Two weeks after the battle in Afghanistan, Broly received a call from the Continental Hotel, informing him that he needed to settle a portion of his account.
Over those two weeks, the Continental Hotel had received over a hundred million U.S. dollars in transfers, originating from S.H.I.E.L.D., the CIA, and Stark Industries' corporate accounts. Although the High Table was a behemoth among assassin groups, they were still a small fry compared to these organizations. The sudden influx of such a large sum of money from unknown sources left them utterly bewildered.
Through various channels, they learned that the money was intended for Batman.
With the hotel's intelligence network, they had no way of knowing what had transpired in Afghanistan. In fact, after receiving news of the complete annihilation of the U.S. military's armored division, they had assumed Batman was dead in Afghanistan.
After receiving these transfers, they dramatically raised their assessment of Batman. They completely disregarded the previous bounty on Tony Stark, and instead prepared all the cash with utmost speed.
They knew Broly preferred cash over checks and transfers. The over one hundred million dollars in cash weighed over a ton. Even with the hotel's resources, quietly taking out so much cash was no easy feat.
"Cade, hurry up!"
Broly sat cross-legged on the Flying Nimbus, feeling somewhat bored.
"Almost done, Boss!"
Cade was packing cut beef, fruits, and vegetables into a large insulated container. He had started preparing these things as soon as he knew Broly was going to New York.
"Done!"
After placing the last orange into the insulated container and adding ice to keep it fresh, Cade closed the container's latches.
Broly channeled his energy, and the insulated container floated up, landing on the Flying Nimbus. The Flying Nimbus then soared into the sky, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.
Midtown High School had an early dismissal time, with classes ending around two in the afternoon.
Recently, Tessa Eagle, Peter Parker, and Tessa Stacy had been inseparable. After Peter presented the Decay Rate Algorithm, the progress of their cross-species gene transplantation project had accelerated rapidly. They had soon achieved success in experiments on animals, with the severed forelimbs of mice regrowing.
If this project could truly succeed, even if it was just a partial achievement, Professor Connors would likely be awarded the Nobel Prize. As for the three of them, as the main participants in the project, they could choose any Ivy League university in the United States.
However, a new drug would require at least ten years and billions of dollars to pass FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approval in the United States before it could be used in hospitals and pharmacies.
Because of the sensitive nature of human gene implantation, Professor Connors was still struggling with how to apply for an IND (Investigational New Drug) to conduct human trials.
Suddenly, Peter Parker, who was walking in front, froze, his Spider-Sense going haywire. The hairs on his body stood on end.
Something extremely dangerous was nearby!
This extreme sense of dread felt like death itself had arrived.
"What's wrong, Peter? Are you feeling unwell?"
The observant Gwen Stacy was the first to notice Peter's pale complexion and his hair soaked with nervous sweat.
"Run... Gwen... Run... Get away from here quickly. There's something extremely dangerous nearby, I... I can feel it, that intense destructive desire and killing intent... Everyone will die..."
Ignoring the strange looks from the surrounding students, Peter pinched his own thigh, trying to use the pain to overcome his fear and create an opportunity for Gwen to escape.
His senses were too sensitive and easily influenced. Furthermore, he had only been a normal high school student a few weeks ago, without any training, and his will was weak. He was instantly frozen with terror.
"Tessa!"
Broly was straddling a motorcycle, one foot on the ground, waiting at the school gate, the large insulated container resting on his shoulder.
He had used the Uron Transformation Technique to alter his appearance at random. Now, neither Bruce Wayne nor his true form would be safe for Tessa to be around.
Tessa was stunned for a moment, then recognized the motorcycle Broly was riding. She ran over to Broly with a look of delight.
"I'm stopping by New York, and these are things your father asked me to bring over."
Broly said, motioning for Tessa Eagle to get on the motorcycle.
Tessa hopped onto the motorcycle and waved to Peter and Gwen:
"My friend is picking me up today, so I won't be going to the lab this afternoon. Remember to ask the professor to excuse me."
Peter turned his head stiffly to look at Broly; he was sure Broly was the source of the terror. That Tessa knew someone so terrifying meant that the strange things she had said before might actually be true.
Were there really monsters in this world?!
"Tessa, I didn't know you had such poor taste, haha, where did this hick come from?"
Flash Thompson looked at Tessa with a look of hatred.
Broly had randomly picked someone to transform into in Texas, and now looked a bit rough. With Tessa riding with him on the motorcycle, it was truly a jarring sight, like a beauty and the beast combination.
"What's it to you, Flash?"
Tessa stepped off the motorcycle with her long legs, then kicked Flash in the groin.
Her clean and decisive action made all the men present instinctively cover their crotches.
"You should be grateful to me, Flash, otherwise, you'd be dead."
Flash let out a short scream and clutched his crotch, lying on the ground.
"Motherfucker, coward, are you only brave enough to hide behind a woman?"
He shouted at Broly.
Suddenly, a hand covered his mouth, and then a clean and decisive hand chop knocked him unconscious.
"I'm sorry, sir, I'll take care of him for you."
Peter dragged the unconscious Flash and, pulling Gwen Stacy, quickly fled the scene.
Broly, who he sensed, was simply too terrifying, and he instinctively wanted to keep his distance.
"This classmate of yours is interesting; his energy is strange," Broly said.
He recognized Peter as Spider-Man and also discovered that Peter's energy was somewhat peculiar, like two energies merging without separation. Although it wasn't that strong, he could still sense him.
To avoid causing a disturbance or being discovered by other beings, he had concealed his own energy. In his perception, he should have just been a slightly stronger ordinary person. But he couldn't hide it from Peter Parker.
He might have even sensed the power of his enraged form, otherwise, he wouldn't be so terrified.
"He's Peter Parker, a friend of mine who's also interning at Osborn Industries."
Tessa explained.
"Osborn Industries?"
