The Osborn Exposition, which attracted global attention and was enough to change the future of humanity, was originally very successful, but had to be suspended midway because just a few blocks from here, Hulk and Abomination were naked and embracing, staging a primal brawl between men.
When everyone learned of this news, they suddenly realized the meaning of Aaron's words: New York really isn't safe.
Regarding the Hulk and Abomination incident, the one primarily responsible for safety was S.H.I.E.L.D. but now, the one even more restless is undoubtedly the Mayor of New York.
Aaron's statement that New York was unsafe had an unprecedented impact on the city. Many companies would even consider whether to continue staying in New York.
Didn't you see that the massive Osborn Industries, with its hundreds of meters tall building serving as a branch, still had to move elsewhere to re-establish its headquarters?
Now it's just Hulk and Abomination, what will it be next time?
Aliens invading New York?
It sounds ridiculous, but this is Marvel.
It's fine to fool the common people, but these powerful and wealthy elites know that aliens exist on Earth.
What if... just what if, one day aliens really attacked New York? Wouldn't all their efforts be in vain?
If the headquarters is gone, it's gone, but if people are gone, that's the biggest loss.
Some people even began to inquire about where Osborn Industries—no, Aaron's Group, planned to move its headquarters.
With Aaron's vision, surely the new headquarters would be very safe, right?
The Mayor of New York's forehead was constantly dripping with cold sweat.
Looking at the interpretations of Aaron's words popping up in various news reports, and then reading the comments, he felt utterly distraught.
Fury also had a huge headache. Such supernatural events were originally S.H.I.E.L.D.'s responsibility. However, they failed to deal with the incident immediately before it occurred. Instead, it endangered global dignitaries.
One careless mistake could trigger an international crisis, a hundred times worse than 9/11. He really couldn't bear that responsibility.
Of course, besides them, the most desperate person was the culprit responsible for capturing Hulk, causing huge public outcry, forcing the temporary suspension of this Osborn Exposition, and causing many dignitaries to evacuate in disarray—Lieutenant General General Ross of the Air Force.
Ross hung up the phone, his face filled with resentment.
He had heard countless curses from Ronald in a phone call.
Then came the President's call.
Everyone who could criticize him gave him a 'friendly' greeting.
Normally, if Ross did this, relying on his Military status and background, it would at most be downplayed. In the future, he might even be able to use it as a merit, and after much maneuvering, become the Secretary of the Department of Defense.
But now, he needed to consider whether he needed to retire early and step down from his position as a Lieutenant General.
If things went badly, he might even face a Military court.
A regular Exposition escalated into an extremely serious international diplomatic incident.
Someone always has to take the blame for it.
"Damn it!"
"Find a way to inform Blonsky (Abomination) to take the Hulk far from Manhattan, or else send him to meet God first!" Ross cursed in frustration.
He knew about the Osborn Expo, and he knew that many high-ranking officials and dignitaries would be attending this Exposition. He even knew the Exposition was scheduled for June 5th.
But what he never expected was that Blonsky would disregard his orders, inject himself with an increased dose of serum, and become the Abomination.
And it happened on this particular day!
And in Harlem, north of Manhattan!
Only a few thousand meters from the Exposition site!
The key was that Blonsky continued to ignore his orders. After gaining immense power, he evolved from a highly decorated commando into a Homelander-plus version.
He caused destruction everywhere to attract the Hulk. He wantonly slaughtered his former teammates. He caused numerous soldier casualties.
After Hulk appeared, the two then began a street fight in the bustling streets.
Everything, absolutely everything, had spiraled out of his control.
Although he was unwilling to admit it, in reality, he was already powerless to control the situation.
Make Blonsky stop? He suspected that even an armored division wouldn't be able to handle this thing.
A squad of soldiers, risking their lives, drove a military jeep and shouted into a loudspeaker at Blonsky. However, what greeted them was a large fist.
"I can now control my own destiny, no one can order me! No one!" The Abomination roared loudly.
Relying on his superior strength and fighting experience, he punched Hulk away. Then he charged towards the jeep.
A rocket-propelled grenade with a fiery trail came flying. However, the Abomination caught it with one hand and squeezed it. After the rocket, which was powerful enough to destroy a wall, exploded, only thick smoke emerged.
Abomination was completely unharmed.
Abomination raised his hand and smashed the entire jeep flat with a single punch.
When Hulk attacked, he grabbed him by the neck with a backhand, let out a beastly roar, and then actually threw Hulk towards the Manhattan district.
"Now, I am the invincible god!" Abomination pounded his chest like King Kong.
His roar echoed through the entire street, yet no one could refute him.
"Mr. Miracle, you are the eternal god!"
"Who?!"
Abomination was furious at the remark, someone dared to disrespect him?
He turned his head to look at the big screen in the plaza.
Justin, the owner of Hammer Industries, stood up, clapping incessantly and shouting loudly.
Abomination's eyes instantly narrowed, memorizing him firmly.
Then even more people stood up in unison, offering blessings to Aaron.
"Aaron is the god of miracles!"
"No!!!"
Abomination's eyes turned red, looking at Aaron's face with immense jealousy.
"Aaron... President of Osborn Industries ..."
"The most dazzling pearl of the United States, the Einstein of the medical world..."
"The god of miracles!!!"
Before becoming Abomination, Bronski was merely a field officer, fighting for wealth and power with his life.
Yet even so, a mere Lieutenant General Ross could casually reprimand him.
But what about Aaron?
At twenty-two, he was surrounded and flattered by everyone.
He saw Ronald, the President of the United States, the Secretary of Defense, high-ranking officials, and presidents of trillion-dollar Corporations.
While he was fighting Hulk for the safety of the United States, these good-for-nothing bastards were fawning over another man.
And even hailing Aaron as the god of miracles.
And what was even more infuriating was that not to mention him, even with Ross's rank as a Lieutenant General, it was difficult to enter the exhibition hall.
Previously, Blonsky was jealous of Hulk's strength, so he defeated him. But now he began to envy Aaron's wealth and fame.
"There can only be one god, and that is me, Blonsky!"
"Manhattan..."
"Tremble, your great god has arrived!"
Abomination immediately changed his target, once again defeating the uninteresting Hulk with a punch, his goal clear, heading towards the Osborn Expo in Manhattan.
Seeing this, Ross felt his vision go black.
"Damn it, stop him at all costs!"
