Culver City, located between Chicago and Indianapolis, boasts a pleasant environment and a climate suitable for year-round living. Corvo Academy is particularly favored by many students attending private high schools.
The campus has strict access controls; generally, only those affiliated with the school or those who have made appointments or registered can enter.
However, Shasha had no intention of going inside; he merely wanted to confirm whether Banner had arrived.
On the academy's information board, Shasha spotted the name and photo of Banner's ex-girlfriend, Betty Ross, daughter of General Ross, listed as a visiting professor.
A smile gradually crept onto Shasha's lips; just as he thought, there was no need to enter the school.
As dusk approached, the busy Betty Ross exited the academy. Her boyfriend, Lydner Samson, had been waiting to take her home. A smile began to form on her face, though it still seemed to lack something.
"Betty Ross, it seems you forgot that today is your birthday?" Lydner said with a smile.
Betty was taken aback. "Is it? I'm so sorry; I completely forgot."
"Shall we go to Stan's for his pizza?" Lydner clearly knew his girlfriend's tastes well.
Betty smiled sweetly at her boyfriend's thoughtfulness. "Good idea, darling."
As they got into the car and drove away with laughter, a figure emerged silently from behind a tree by the roadside, watching their departure. Following them would lead to Hulk.
Inside the pizza shop, two customers arrived. The elderly owner was flustered by their presence since he had just served someone who had an inseparable connection with Betty Ross.
What happened next did not interest Shasha; he was already waiting in the back alley of the pizza shop.
He watched as Betty anxiously searched for Banner and saw Banner helplessly hiding when suddenly a low rumble of thunder echoed in the air.
After Betty left, Banner stood up to leave. However, someone blocked his path. "Bruce Banner, Bruce Banner, I'm not sure if you've seen me before."
Looking at the newcomer, clutching his chest in surprise and agitation, Banner's expression shifted from confusion to realization. "It's you."
"It seems you know me," Shasha said with a slight smile. "So, you can read Hulk's memories?"
"Hulk? You actually know his name?" Banner's expression turned more shocked, as only he knew the name of the monster within him. After the surprise, his demeanor shifted to caution. "Since you've come here, does that mean I've been exposed?"
"I have good news for you: you haven't been exposed; I just found you on my own."
Despite hearing this from Shasha, the wariness in Banner's eyes did not fade. "Then what do you want from me?"
Shasha withdrew her right hand from her pocket and pointed her index finger at Banner's chest, chuckling lightly. "I just want to have another fight with the guy inside you."
"Crazy!" Banner snapped coldly and turned to leave.
However, Shasha blocked his path again. "I traveled all this way just for this purpose. If you meet my demands, I can give you some useful information."
Banner stared coldly at Shasha. He had no idea what the useful information was and didn't want to know. He certainly didn't want to unleash Hulk because of such a simple request.
With a sigh, Shasha said, "It seems I have to resort to the most direct method."
Before Banner could react, he was sent flying by a punch.
As he landed, the metallic taste of blood surged in his mouth, signaling that he was injured—and badly.
In an instant, anger flared within him, but Banner fought to suppress it, mentally shouting, "Damn it, don't come out! It's because of you that everything has been ruined!"
Seeing that Banner showed no signs of transforming, Shasha was surprised. "I didn't expect your self-control to be this strong."
Struggling to rise while clutching his stomach in pain, Banner gritted through it and said, "Give up; I will never let him out."
"Why? It's just a fight; why can't we?" As she stepped closer to Banner, Shasha asked in confusion, already preparing to strike again.
"I swear to make that damn guy disappear from my body. I don't want him to take control of my life!"
Seeing Bruce Banner's pain and helplessness, Shasha felt sympathy for him. Perhaps Hulk looked powerful and cool, but that was only from the perspective of onlookers. What about him? He didn't want Hulk at all, because Hulk's existence prevented him from returning to his previous life. Everything he cherished had long since slipped away.
However, sympathy aside, he wouldn't forget his purpose, even if it felt a bit unfair to Bruce.
"I'm sorry, Bruce Banner. While I sympathize with your situation, I can't help you. But I have to bring that guy out because I have my reasons!"
With a ruthless kick, Shasha knocked Banner to the ground. He glared at the still motionless Banner and angrily grabbed his collar, pulling him up in front of himself. "Don't you want to kill me? Look how I'm treating you!"
Banner laughed, coughing as he did so. "I won't let him out."
Shasha slammed him back down, allowing him to lose consciousness. At that moment, a few drops of rain began to fall, gradually intensifying until it turned into a torrential downpour.
