Chapter 2: Hulk's Assault
Under Wanda's death glare, Alex Chen barely managed to finish his breakfast.
He quickly grabbed his backpack and fled out the door.
That look was too terrifying — he needed to get out and cool down for a bit!
But he still couldn't escape. Resigned to his fate, he waited on a bicycle. For some reason, Wanda didn't like sitting in the passenger seat of a car; she only liked sitting on the back seat of the bicycle.
Wanda soon came out.
She hung her backpack around Alex Chen's neck, sat down heavily on the back seat, and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, squeezing hard as if she wanted to break it.
In reality, her strength couldn't hurt Alex Chen in the slightest.
Instead, because she was hugging too tightly, her whole body was pressed firmly against his back.
"Hiss——"
Alex Chen took a deep breath and pedaled powerfully. The bicycle shot forward with a sharp "whoosh."
No matter why Wanda liked riding bicycles so much, Alex Chen's reason was very simple — to train his body!
What? Other thoughts? Dirty! Lewd! Shameless!
Would he actually covet his own sister's body?
"Slurp——"
The two of them rode straight toward the school gate. Along the way, many students turned their heads to stare.
The girls looked at the ridiculously handsome Alex Chen with sparkling eyes. The boys stared at the beautiful and voluptuous Wanda with drooling faces.
Their combined head-turning rate was 100%. They killed it with both genders!
Normally, the two of them were already used to this kind of attention.
Until—
Alex Chen's expression changed. His [White Ability — Beast Instinct] activated. Following the dangerous intuition, he looked over and saw a male student staring at him with a perverted expression… drooling.
That's right! The guy was drooling while looking at him!
Some disgusting images flashed in Alex Chen's mind before he violently shook them away.
What the fuck! Don't disgust people like this!
He pedaled hard again. The bicycle accelerated sharply. The sudden burst of speed made Wanda instinctively hug him even tighter, which helped wash away the nausea in his heart.
"Today is really unlucky. I must've gone out without checking the almanac. Fucked by a dog."
After dropping Wanda off at the library,
She didn't have classes this morning originally, but as a top student aiming to earn enough credits to enter graduate school within a year, she had to put in extra time.
"Don't get too close to other girls!" Wanda threatened fiercely, baring her teeth. "If I find out, you can forget about entering the house tonight!"
Alex Chen: "."
So why don't I have a girlfriend? Don't you have any self-awareness?
He lazily waved his hand to show he understood, then rode his bicycle toward the Journalism School where he studied.
He chose this major not because he was passionate about journalism, but simply because it had fewer classes and he could easily skip them using "practical training" as an excuse.
Anyway, he wasn't worried about money.
He hadn't even planned to attend university originally. He only came because Wanda wanted to study in the US, along with some other reasons.
[Gray Ability — Perfect Exam Talent of the Top Female Student from Love Apartment 5!]
This ability allowed him to quickly learn all courses below PhD level and ace the exams perfectly!
Well… it was only useful for exams. When it came to actual application, he would always get stuck, killing any thought of seriously grinding a technology tree.
After signing attendance in class,
Alex Chen boredly flipped through the textbook. Using his top student ability, he rapidly memorized everything. By the end of the class, he had already self-studied the entire course.
This was how overpowered top students operated.
He was planning to keep going like this. Once he finished learning all the courses, he could apply for early graduation, pass the exams, earn the credits, and conveniently get some scholarship money.
— This was how the siblings got their pocket money.
Suddenly!
His Beast Instinct issued an unprecedented warning, making his scalp tingle. He looked sharply in one direction — toward the library!
"Booming——"
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
"Ratatatatat——"
...
The roar of machine guns, the explosions of shells, the thunder of armed helicopters.
All of it made Alex Chen's face turn grim.
He immediately took out his phone and called Wanda, but no one picked up.
His eyes instantly became sharp and cold!
While his classmates watched in shock, he flipped out of the window, causing countless screams.
This was the fifth floor, after all!
Students who rushed to the window saw no trace of Alex Chen below.
Of course he didn't fall.
Using magnetic field manipulation, he made the iron pieces in his shoe soles fly up, carrying him as he broke through the window and rushed into an empty office. He pressed his right hand to his chest and instantly changed into Batman's combat suit.
[Gray Item — Batman's Basic Combat Suit!]
Driven by magnetic field manipulation, he flew swiftly toward the library where explosions continued to ring out. His black cape fluttered wildly behind him, making him look like a real bat soaring through the sky.
"Oh my god! It's Batman!"
"Batman came! Is there a terrorist attack at our school?"
"Shh! I just escaped from there. It's full of military forces."
"Really? Then why is Batman heading over…"
...
Batman was Alex Chen's nighttime alias for acting as a vigilante (and occasionally robbing the rich to help the poor). He had gained some fame in New York.
Normally, he would even stop arrogantly to greet his little fans.
But right now, his heart only contained worry for Wanda's safety. He had no time for fans.
Whoever dared to hurt her today — they all had to die!
Very quickly, Alex Chen flew out of the Journalism School area and reached the Finance School campus. He could already see the library clearly.
"Beep—— Military operation zone! Flying object, stop advancing immediately!" A sergeant behind the cordon line raised a megaphone and shouted, "I repeat! Stop advancing or we are authorized to open fire!"
Alex Chen ignored the warning and continued flying toward the library.
Seeing this, the sergeant decisively ordered:
"Open fire!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
...
Dense gunfire rang out, but not a single bullet could harm Alex Chen.
It wasn't that they missed. The soldiers' aim was accurate.
The bullets simply lost all kinetic energy the moment they entered the magnetic field around him and fell uselessly to the ground.
In front of him, modern weapons were nothing but trash!
Alex Chen flew past the cordon, over the woods, and finally got a full view of the library. On the lawn in front, a two-meter-tall green giant was being surrounded and attacked by the military.
It was the Hulk.
Alex Chen paid him no attention and desperately searched for Wanda's figure.
"Ratatatatat——"
An armed helicopter fired its machine gun at Hulk, only to be smashed by an enraged Hulk with a piece of metal debris, sending it crashing down.
And the direction the wreckage was falling toward had a group of fleeing students — Wanda was right among them!
Alex Chen's pupils shrank sharply!
Seeing the helicopter wreckage about to swallow her, he reached out from afar and clenched his hand. The falling wreckage froze mid-air under his anti-gravity control.
"Boom!"
The armed helicopter exploded. No fragments could break through his control, but the shockwave from the blast still knocked over nearby students and sent Wanda tumbling to the ground.
"Damn it!"
Alex Chen cursed, tossed the wreckage (now crumpled into a metal ball) aside, and flew straight toward Wanda.
Before he could reach her, Wanda had already sat up. She gave Alex Chen a brilliant smile and gently shook her head, signaling him not to come closer and expose his identity. Then she helped a female classmate up and ran toward safety.
From her movements, she seemed mostly fine.
Alex Chen breathed a sigh of relief, but the fury in his eyes behind the Batman mask burned even hotter.
If he hadn't arrived in time…
He didn't even want to imagine the outcome.
He turned around and looked at Hulk, who was still battling the military. The corner of his mouth curled into a cold, disdainful smile.
The strongest combat power on Earth?
Today, I'm going to smash you flat and knead you however I like!
