chapter 173 part 1
Chapter 173: What Hulk? Isn't that my Nine-Tails?
(Joker's wife didn't die, DC Ren Arakawa saved her. Chapter 171 has been changed, so please don't scold this author anymore. It's my first time writing a book, so it's hard to avoid writing some problematic parts.)
Early in the morning, Bruce Ren was awakened by the noise in the hallway.
Pushing open the door, he saw that, sure enough, Jian Ru was arguing with the landlord.
"I will restore the room to its original state. We will pay the rent immediately. Please give us a few more days, Uncle James."
The landlord, however, trembled with anger, "Renovating it was originally your responsibility! Besides that, you still need to compensate me! Moreover, I have the right to take back my house! Hurry up and move out! See you in court!"
"Knock, knock, knock." Bruce Ren knocked on his own room door.
"Uncle James."
Hearing the sound, James turned his head. Upon seeing the face of Ren, Bruce Ren's adopted son, his anger subsided slightly.
"What's wrong?"
"It's like this..." Bruce Ren pondered his words before speaking, "It's a cold winter day, the air is dry, and fire accidents are hard to avoid. She's also one month pregnant; don't torment them. If they tidy up and continue living here, and you get the rent topped up and the house renovated, wouldn't that be better?"
James shook his head vigorously: "How can that be! They burned my house!"
Bruce Ren continued to persuade: "I saw what your house looked like when I was little. Yesterday I took a look, and it basically hasn't changed much. This time, let them renovate it for you again, don't you get a good deal out of it? Besides, what was the cause of the fire? Perhaps it was due to aging circuits or something. A lawsuit would be troublesome, and your house might be vacant for half a year..."
"Gotham isn't very peaceful; it's not good to rent it out."
Jian Ru quickly chimed in: "We, we'll pay the rent right away, please give us another chance!"
James, the black man, sighed, "That makes sense. Oh, fine! As long as you hand over the rent in three days and renovate the room before you stop renting, then I won't pursue further responsibility."
"Thank you! Thank you so much!" Jian Ru quickly bowed.
Watching James leave, Jian Ru bowed to Bruce Ren again.
"Alright, alright, I can't take it." Bruce Ren scratched his face, looking into the pitch-black room: "Where's Jack?"
"Jack... He went out early in the morning." Jian Ru looked worried, sensing her husband's change.
"Alright then. Oh, and air out the room more. Wait until the scorching smell is mostly gone before warming it up. Endure it for a few more days."
"Okay! Thank you! Bruce! Thank you so much!"
At the same time, green-haired Jack walked on the street.
His gaze always lingered on banks and luxury cars parked by the road. Every time he thought of his tragic life and the hallucinogenic toxins in his body, he gradually began to lose control of his inner thoughts.
His dusty memories gradually awakened. He remembered strangling a puppy when he was young because it was "too cute." He also remembered stealing money from his mother to buy alcohol.
Yesterday, when he snuck into the chemical factory, his heart was filled with fear and anxiety, but also a hint of excitement.
Education made him forget these bad memories, making him willingly play the role of a Joker at the bottom of society, not touching the law, not being a bad person.
But if you think about it carefully...
These all seemed like...
Shackles!
Restraints!
Jack's mouth curled up. He stepped down the stairs with a strange, frantic gait, moving his body.
The people around him looked at this strange person dressed up, dancing without music, only feeling that he was crazy.
Was he?
He was not.
He just understood.
Jack wanted to throw away worldly views, the shackles of morality.
"Ah~ the sweet breath of freedom~"
He inhaled sharply: "Cough, cough, cough~ car exhaust makes me sick! I want to plug their exhaust pipes! Hahahaha!"
A car with its exhaust pipe plugged would, at most, need repairs.
However, the cars below Stark Industries building, smashed by falling rubble during the fight between Hulk and Abomination, were directly turned into scrap metal.
"Wuwu! My brand new car! I've only driven it 50 kilometers! Damn Stark Industries! Damn Tony Stark!"
If this were the DC Universe, it's estimated that a supervillain would be born.
On the rooftop, a silver streak of light flashed like lightning, instantly appearing next to Hulk and Abomination.
Immediately after, a silver feathered blade accurately and ruthlessly plunged into Hulk's back.
Hulk instantly felt a sharp pain and subconsciously reached back to scratch. Meanwhile, Steve Rogers swiftly flapped his vibranium-embedded wings, his posture light and agile as he dodged Hulk's attack, truly like a nimble sparrow.
Seeing this, Abomination couldn't help but let out a piercing laugh. Its ugly face was full of smugness, finally seeing Hulk in a disadvantageous position, feeling extremely delighted.
Hulk only felt an unbearable stinging itch on his back. Despite scratching vigorously, he still couldn't relieve the discomfort.
After taking just two steps, his body suddenly stumbled, like a small mountain about to collapse, and he fell heavily face-first.
"Solved?" Tony Stark asked with a face full of shock, a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
However, Steve Rogers frowned slightly, a trace of worry revealing itself in his gaze.
Hulk wasn't that easy to deal with.
This fellow only gets stronger the more he fights.
Sure enough, as soon as Hulk fell, he immediately sprang up like a spring. His eyes flashed with a red glow even more intense than when he fought Abomination before! He was clearly thoroughly enraged and plunged into extreme frenzy!
Seeing this, Steve Rogers quickly flew to dodge. His speed was extremely fast, instantly flying into mid-air.
Abomination saw Hulk break free and quickly rushed forward, grabbing Hulk's left leg, attempting to stop him from continuing his rampage.
However, Hulk's strength at this moment was astonishing. He fiercely kicked Abomination's head with his right leg. With a loud "thud," Abomination was kicked, let go, and flew backward.
After breaking free from the restraints, Hulk, ignoring everything, desperately leaped towards Steve Rogers in mid-air. His massive body arced through the sky, like a green cannonball!
One must know that Steve Rogers was currently hundreds of meters in the air. This enraged beast actually fearlessly leaped over, just to land a punch. Truly formidable.
