If I hadn't reported to the director, I could have just left.
Did I voluntarily report to the director? Yes.
So I can't simply turn around and walk away.
If I hadn't hidden all those sophisticated listening devices on my body, I could have directly told the director that I didn't know.
Do I have such devices on me? Yes!
So I can't pretend I don't know.
If I hadn't seen King Kong, I would never have realized that humanity didn't truly defeat Kong with high-tech weapons—but with beauty.
Have I seen King Kong? Of course I have!
Therefore, I can't deny that beauty can indeed defeat—even kill—a beast.
But I really can't do it!
Natasha Romanoff was a bit stunned. She wanted that six-month vacation and the $300 million reward!
To seduce the Hulk, win his heart, and then kill him—she simply couldn't do it!
She could only hope the director wouldn't believe Rimuru's nonsense. Hopefully!
Seeing the sorrowful expression on Natasha's face, Rimuru secretly smiled and said in exaggerated surprise,"Big sister Natasha, you don't actually think I'm asking you to seduce the Hulk, do you?"
Natasha blinked her beautiful eyes."Isn't that what you mean?"
Rimuru covered her mouth, feigning disbelief."Oh my—if circumstances were different, how could you just fall in love with someone like that? Natasha, your thinking is way too unhealthy!"
Pfft!
Natasha clenched her teeth, so angry she wanted to grab Rimuru and beat her up.
What did she mean by "unhealthy thinking"?
Wasn't that exactly what she implied just now?
Rimuru looked at Natasha with admiration."Big sister Natasha, I used to admire three people the most—Xu Xian, Ning Caichen, and Lu Shiyi. But now it seems I have to add one more!"
What does that even mean?
A black question mark practically appeared over Natasha's head.
Rimuru then enthusiastically told her about the "great achievements" of those three figures.
Natasha completely snapped and chased after Rimuru, trying to hit her—but who was Rimuru?
Come on, she never hits women!
The sound of someone coughing in her earpiece snapped Natasha back to reality.
"I was wrong. I admit my thinking was wrong. I apologize."
Natasha looked at Rimuru, grinding her teeth as she spoke each word.
Every word felt like she was biting into Rimuru.
As a top agent, she was very skilled at adapting to situations and flattering others when necessary—but she hated doing it!
It felt like bitter wine pouring down her throat—painful and suffocating.
Rimuru also seriously admitted her mistake and calmly accepted Natasha's apology."Sorry, Natasha. I didn't explain myself clearly."
Hmm?
Was there a turning point?
Hope sparkled in Natasha's eyes.
As long as she didn't have to seduce the Hulk, she was willing to do anything!
Rimuru said,"Natasha, I want you to seduce Banner."
Pfft!
Natasha nearly spat out three liters of blood.
What's the difference between seducing the Hulk and seducing Banner?!
Ahhh, this girl's personality is awful!
"Prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain—no matter how hard you try, you can't move it!"
Rimuru stood up, no longer wearing her earlier mischievous expression.
Natasha was stunned. Was this really the same little troublemaker from before?
Why the sudden philosophical tone?
Was she about to trick her again?!
Natasha had every reason to doubt Rimuru—her track record was terrible.
Rimuru could roughly guess what Natasha was thinking, but this time she truly didn't intend to keep joking.
A joke is fine—but you have to know the limits. Going too far would ruin things.
Banner might be the weakest superhero in the Marvel universe—but if she could help, Rimuru was willing to.
Rimuru said,"Natasha, think about it carefully. Why is your first thought to capture the Hulk, instead of talking to Banner?"
Natasha: "???"
Rimuru continued,"I've never lied about how to deal with the Hulk. You've seen the footage from the forest park battle, right? Didn't you notice that the Hulk is actually kind and gentle?"
Kind and gentle?
That sounded absurd.
In the footage, the Hulk was either smashing armored vehicles—or on his way to smash them.
She clearly remembered him turning vehicles into "pancakes."
Wait…
Natasha suddenly recalled that the Hulk had used his own body to protect Betty—shielding her from bullets and fire.
Was Rimuru telling the truth?
Seeing that Natasha was listening, Rimuru continued,"From the very beginning, both the military and S.H.I.E.L.D. chose the wrong approach."
Every time the Hulk appeared, it was essentially because General Ross forced him out—whether in Brazil or in the New York forest park.
Think about it—what did Dr. Banner actually do wrong?
To prevent the Hulk from emerging, Banner had constantly suppressed his emotions. He even started practicing yoga from scratch. His ultimate goal had always been to eliminate the gamma radiation and return to being a normal person.
Not only Natasha, but even Director Fury—listening from afar—fell silent in thought.
Observers could clearly feel that Rimuru's words struck like thunder, hitting both Natasha and Fury straight in the heart.
Fury had considered recruiting Banner more than once, but he always hesitated.
The Hulk was simply too unstable.
Fury's voice came through the earpiece:"Romanoff, ask her how Banner performs in the movies."
Natasha froze.
With her intelligence, she immediately understood—the director had been persuaded and wanted to recruit Banner.
To be honest, Natasha felt uneasy about bringing such an unstable factor into the team—but it wasn't her decision.
She relayed Fury's question to Rimuru.
Rimuru replied,"How should I put it… Hulk does lose control sometimes, but he has also saved the world time and time again. He's like a double-edged sword—extremely sharp. Compared to that, his occasional loss of control is more than made up for by his achievements."
Fury said,"I understand. Romanoff, continue asking for more details."
Natasha: "Understood."
Under her questioning, Rimuru truthfully shared more about Banner and the Hulk.
For example, although the Hulk is prone to anger, he still possesses a basic sense of right and wrong—meaning he has room for growth.
The Hulk likes small, cute animals like puppies and kittens, which can effectively calm his anger.
Banner's personality and the Hulk's personality can eventually merge—at which point he evolves into "Professor Hulk," possessing both the Hulk's strength and Banner's intelligence.
Hearing this, both Natasha and Fury were extremely excited—especially Fury.
If "Professor Hulk" could truly exist, then the Avengers would gain an irreplaceable powerhouse.
At this moment, Fury was deeply moved.
He was genuinely thrilled.
