"Such immense power! Absolute rationality! This is the weapon I crave!"
General Ross, in the helicopter, gazed at Li Ye with a greedy expression.
"Are you insane?"
Betty Ross, General Ross's daughter and Hulk's girlfriend, looked at him in shock.
"I'm not insane! As long as I get him, I can research the most powerful weapon!"
General Ross had been blinded by power.
"He just saved us! How can you do this?!"
Betty still wanted to dissuade her father.
"What do you know? Besides, I'm not going to kill him, just have him cooperate with our research!"
"His power is so strong, even Hulk is no match. Do you think he'll just surrender?"
"Hmph! As long as he lives in America, I have ways to deal with him!"
General Ross sneered disdainfully, his voice cold.
"You terrible man, I won't let you do this!"
Betty stood in front of General Ross, attempting a final obstruction.
"I don't need your permission! Soldier, take her to a safe place and lock her up. Don't release her without my order."
General Ross ordered a tall soldier beside him.
"Yes, sir!"
Then, ignoring Betty's resistance, the soldier escorted Betty away… "Have you found anything?"
General Ross asked a technician on the helicopter.
"Yes, General. Here is all the information on the Superman below!"
The technician handed over a file.
"Li Ye! Chinese! Orphan! Orphanage! Lives in Queens, New York…"
General Ross frowned as he read the file.
"Does this person not have any relatives?"
General Ross inquired of the technician beside him.
"Reporting, General, indeed not. This person has a very reclusive personality and no close friends or family!"
"This makes it a bit difficult!"
General Ross sighed.
He had originally thought he could find Li Ye's family and use them to threaten him into compliance. This was a common tactic for those in power to control Super Heroes. But who would have thought he'd encounter such an oddity as Li Ye, who had no weaknesses.
"It seems we'll have to use some force!"
Deploying the Military in the city, while risking complaints, was negligible compared to the benefits of capturing Superman… Li Ye on the ground was receiving cheers from the people when suddenly, rows of armored vehicles appeared on the street, and a dozen helicopters flew in from the sky, surrounding Li Ye.
"What's going on?"
"What is the Military doing?"
"They didn't show up when the monster was destroying the city. Now that the monster is defeated, what are they here for?"
The surrounding onlookers discussed animatedly, all questioning the Military.
Rows of fully armed soldiers disembarked from the armored vehicles and began to disperse the crowd.
"What are you doing?"
"You have no right to do that!"
"I'm going to complain about you. Tell your leader he's finished!"
From one of the helicopters, a soldier took out a megaphone and began to speak.
"Everyone, please step aside. This person is suspected of destroying important national experimental materials, damaging city streets, and committing crimes against national security. We are now arresting him according to the law. Please do not obstruct us!"
"Are you blind? Superman clearly saved us!"
"What do you bastards want to do?!"
"My dad is a senator. I'll go back and tell him to complain about you all. None of you will get away with this!"
The surrounding crowd strongly expressed their dissatisfaction, but in front of the heavily armed Military, they still cooperated and moved beyond the cordon.
"It seems they're going to make a move on me!"
Li Ye smiled faintly, not taking it to heart at all.
One of the helicopters in the sky slowly descended, and a white-haired, robust old man emerged from it. He was General Ross.
"Hello, sir. First of all, thank you very much for your help!"
General Ross walked up to Li Ye and spoke very amiably.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is General Ross, a general in the U.S. Military!"
"Thank me for my help? Surrounding me with the Military, is this General Ross's way of saying thank you?"
Li Ye pointed to the surrounding soldiers and said with a cold smile.
"Sir! The creature you killed just now was an important experimental material for our Military. You clearly killed him, but then you also destroyed his body, which caused our Military severe losses! And in the battle just now, your actions destroyed a lot of citizens' property. Your behavior has seriously violated the laws of America. We need to understand the situation with you thoroughly, and we hope you can cooperate!"
"Just cooperate with you to understand the situation? No plans to dissect and study me?"
"Of course not. After all, you are the hero who saved New York City! How could we possibly do such a thing to you! Please, you must believe the U.S. Military!"
General Ross said with a righteous expression.
"What if I don't agree?!"
Li Ye said with a playful look.
"Sir! I'm not joking. I hope you can cooperate with our work. This is the duty of every citizen of America! If you don't cooperate, these soldiers around you will help you cooperate!"
As soon as General Ross finished speaking, all the surrounding soldiers raised their guns and aimed them at Li Ye. The helicopters in the sky also aimed their Gatling guns and even missiles at Li Ye.
"You scum! Is this how you treat heroes?!"
"You bastards! Tomorrow I'll gather all my friends and family to protest at the White House. If he doesn't remove you, he can forget about being President!"
"Let him go!" "Let him go!" "Let him go!"
The crowd behind, seeing this scene, became furious. At someone's cry of "Let him go," tens of thousands of people present all shouted for his release.
Li Ye didn't care about any of this. He just wanted to be a hero out of interest.
"Heh heh! If these are your relying on, then they are too weak!"
Li Ye gave a cold laugh.
"Hmph! Don't underestimate the U.S. Military. We are the strongest force in the World, with the best equipment. Those two monsters earlier were only difficult because they were in the city, and the Military was afraid of accidentally harming civilians. Now that the crowd has all been evacuated, if you're sensible, you'll surrender obediently!"
"Is that so?"
With a wave of Li Ye's hand, all the guns in the soldiers' hands were dislodged from their control and flew into the air, aiming at them.
The helicopters in the sky also became uncontrollable, and all their weapons were aimed at General Ross.
"What are you doing?!"
General Ross asked in horror as he saw the helicopter's weapons aimed at him.
"General, it's bad! All the helicopters are out of control!"
The anxious voice of the pilot reached General Ross's ears through the communicator.
General Ross's face immediately turned a deathly pale, and he said tremblingly,
"Is this also your ability?"
"What do you think?!"
"You… what do you want to do?!… You must… stay calm! If you kill me, you will be going against the entire United States!"
General Ross brought up the United States, trying to threaten Li Ye.
"Slap!"
Li Ye delivered a hard slap, sending General Ross flying, spinning a few times in the air, and landing on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood. The few remaining teeth in his mouth were all knocked out… To be continued!
