Late at night in Manhattan, the neon lights of a bustling metropolis flickered outside the window.
Inside the penthouse master bedroom, however, the atmosphere had reached a boiling point.
A man and a woman alone together, fueled by alcohol and the bridge effect after surviving a life-or-death shock—everything flowed naturally into place.
Linus Vance’s lethal masculine charm hung in the air like a tight, suffocating net, enveloping Betty Ross completely.
Betty tilted her head up.
The usual restraint and composure in her eyes were gone, replaced by pure, endless longing and dependence for the man before her.
She stood on tiptoe of her own accord and pressed her red lips against Linus’s.
From the living room sofa all the way to the master bed in the bedroom.
Through this unforgettable night, Linus fully appreciated the true value of his system rewards.
The explosive force of a Hulk-level golden-ratio physique combined with the tireless perfection of [God-Tier Stamina] transformed him into an unyielding god of war in this quiet battle.
Every passionate moment sent Betty floating between heaven and the abyss.
She completely forgot her past fears, entirely erasing the weak, cowardly man named Bruce Banner from her mind.
Before this aggressively dominant man, she was a lonely boat tossed by raging waves, able only to cling tightly to Linus as her sole anchor and surrender herself completely to the overwhelming ecstasy.
This night marked a complete break from her past relationship and the beginning of an incurable obsession with Linus Vance.
(A relentless storm of passion!)
The next morning, sunlight poured through the floor-to-ceiling windows onto the king-size bed.
The messy sheets bore witness to the madness of the night before.
Betty curled up against Linus’s broad chest like a docile kitten.
Her eyes fluttered open, filled with lingering warmth, as her fingers gently traced the contours of Linus’s eight-pack abs.
At this moment, her entire world revolved around the man in front of her.
As for that green ex-boyfriend?
He had long been washed away without a trace by last night’s fierce storm.
Just then, system prompts detonated in Linus’s mind like a barrage of New Year fireworks!

“Hss—”
Even a thrill-seeking chaos lover like Linus couldn’t help sucking in a breath of cold air, a wide grin spreading across his face.
Time to soar!
This reward pack was an absolute game-changer!
Full-power Hulk strength combined with hyper-regeneration meant that even without any gear, he was now a walking nuclear warhead capable of running wild across the entire planet!
Best of all, he didn’t need to turn into a mindless green beast like Banner.
He could still wear a tailored suit, sip red wine, and slap a skyscraper into rubble!
Linus lightly clenched his fist, feeling the horrifying power surging through his fingertips as if capable of tearing through space itself.
He idly picked up a stainless steel mug from the nightstand.
Without exerting much effort, the hard steel crumpled in his grip like playdough, crushed into a wad of scrap metal!
“Magnificent…”
Linus gloated inwardly, then leaned down and planted a firm kiss on Betty’s smooth forehead.
“You really are my goddess of good fortune.”
Betty gave a lazy soft murmur and clung to Linus like an octopus.
“Linus…
I never want to leave your side again.”
As they cuddled, the massive LCD TV mounted on the bedroom wall automatically turned on, broadcasting the morning news.
“Breaking news!
At 6:00 AM today, the military spotted a highly dangerous wanted fugitive in a remote town in Brazil, South America.”
“According to eyewitnesses, the fugitive triggered a violent explosion at a bottling plant.
Currently, the military has sealed off the entire town and launched a full-scale encirclement operation…”
A somewhat blurry but unmistakably recognizable photo flashed across the screen—Bruce Banner, wearing tattered clothes with a look of sheer panic on his face!
The moment she saw the news, Betty froze.
Linus acutely picked up on her reaction, chuckling inwardly before asking in a testing tone:
“It’s Banner.
He’s surrounded by your father’s troops.
His situation looks dire.”
“Betty…
do you want to go save him?”
In the past, Betty would have rushed out the door without a second thought to find Banner.
But now…
Betty instinctively tightened her grip on Linus’s hand.
A flash of disgust and deep-seated fear crossed her flushed cheeks.
She shook her head violently.
Far from wanting to save him, she clung to Linus’s arm even tighter.
“No!
I don’t want to go!
Linus, you’re not allowed to go either!”
“There are soldiers everywhere!
It’s too dangerous!”
“He turned into a monster and ran away—that was his own choice!
I…
I can’t lose you too!”
Listen to that—talk about a complete switch of allegiances!
This was the power of 100% total possession of mind and body!
Linus was practically beside himself with joy inside, yet on the outside, he maintained his facade of a refined, cultured gentleman with a dark edge.
He gently rubbed Betty’s blonde hair, his eyes shining with a righteous determination that screamed, *If I don’t walk into hell, who will?*
“Silly girl, I know you’re worried about me.”
Linus cupped Betty’s face, speaking in an immensely firm yet deeply deceptive tone.
“But he used to be our colleague, after all.”
“You know how far your father will go.
If I don’t go stop him, Banner will end up dissected on a lab table.”
“As your man, I have to see if I can lend him a hand.”
Linus sneered wildly in his head.
*Of course I’m going!
I’m waiting to trigger a second, even crazier critical reward!*
*Little Brother Banner is getting beat up down in South America right now.
As the good buddy who won Betty’s heart and soul, how could I not go down there in person to pay him a little ‘sympathy visit’?*
After soothing the emotional Betty, Linus walked into the walk-in closet.
With a single thought, the [Vibranium Nanotech Bulletproof Suit] from the system reward materialized, instantly covering his body.
The solid black fabric glistened subtly under the lights, perfectly highlighting his tall, male-model physique.
Behind his gold-rimmed glasses, his eyes gleamed with the feverish intensity of a predator.
“Little Brother Banner, let me use that Hulk power you’re so proud of to give a good beating to a useless coward who abandoned his woman.”
