"Quick, everyone, stay back!" V shouted when noticing the arc of fear Hulk just cast over the men behind him, they all were ready to flee while they are those who had already done so. But soon everyone was called in order, they all positioned their guns at Hulk.
"Yes... This helped me to remember where we stopped, I was about to take the base under me before the beast waves come, so are you ready to hand it over or is the sight of your daughter's brain cells more present to you?" Hulk said and clenched his fist squeezing Mini as she cried.
"Put here down," Shad shouted while pointing his pistol gun at Hulk. It was a ridiculous sight since the person he was going against was tens of his size and yet he was pointing his gun at him.
"Ohhhh... We will start with getting rid of those guns," Hulk said squeezing Mini as she cried out.
"Mommy please!!!..."
"Put your guns down, just do as I said," Lily instructed and all his men started putting their guns down.
"Good, next, I need you to toss your spear to me," he commanded and increased his grip a little bit to make Mini cry out.
"I thought you said he left the base," Shad asked V who was slowly approaching Hulk.
Hearing this, Hulk burst into a peal of laughter. "That was one mistake you made back then, you could have won the fight, but I tricked you to believe that I was leaving... Hahaha"
"I did that so when you guys were through dealing with the beast or maybe even killed by them, then will I come out and take what I deserve!" Hulk said as he laughed.
'What you deserve indeed, ' Lyon thought clenching his fist.
"Now don't waste my time and kindly hand over the spear," Hulk urged for V to walk fast.
"Really? Are you going to treat us like we are not here,"
A voice suddenly said and when looking at who just spoke, it was Dike and he continued. "How can you be doing a such shameless thing, picking a kid as your opponent, why don't you face us," he said though ready to fight.
Busting into laughter, Hulk started speaking, "Who said I forgot about you guys I have a special offer for you, if you all will join me, together, we can take over this base and rule the people in it," Hulk suggested happily, hoping that they will accept his offer.
"That is an interesting offer you have there," Nate said with a smile.
Hearing this, the other's hearts started to beat, especially V and Lily. Nate was now their only hope of getting out of this mess and here he was showing interest in Hulk's offer and this has killed the last hope they have.
They know if Nate decides to side with Hulk, the others with him will follow his wish and they will be left stranded again.
Regardless, there is one person in particular that was glaring at Nate with anger. 'Better tell me you are joking,' Lyon telecommunicate with Nate however, he got no response from him.
Meanwhile, Nate has already issued an instruction to Lynn. 'Just make sure she is okay,'
He was making sure Mini was okay first before then facing Hulk's face. "That seems interesting but too bad we don't settle in one place so therefore, we can't join your plan," Nate replied.
"No no no, no is not an option, they are something you must like, they are beautiful women in this base and trust me, you will like to play with some just like I usually do," Hulk said hoping Nate will have a second thought on hearing this.
'Keep calm Lyon, it's not yet time, if you act now, no matter how fast you are, you won't be able to snatch Mini from him without getting her killed, we need a surprise attack and I have someone that can deliver such stunts,' Nate told Lyon as he could feel him boiling, his fist was clenched hard that his veins are visible both on his two arms and forehead, Nate has never seen Lyon so angry and at the same time calm. It was already a miracle that he was not tearing Hulk apart by now.
Meanwhile, as he was speaking with Lyon, his facial expressions were like that of someone that was thinking to the onlookers whereas his decision has long being made for long, he was just waiting for the right moment to act.
"I'm sorry, it won't be as you wished, we have no interest in those things," Nate finally answered shocking Hulk to the core.
"Then what is the essence of having powers if you won't use them,"
"Fine, who cares, if you guys won't help me, then there is no need for you to keep staying here, so you are free to get out!" at the last statement, he yelled at Nate.
Meanwhile, Lyons body started shaking, though it was not noticeable, to some people on the base, they could feel it, they could feel the anger raising in Lyon.
'What if I go now, will I be fast enough?' Lyon asked Nate.
'I'm telling you, with the amount of power surging out of your body, one hit from you is all it takes to kill him but the question is, will you be fast enough before he crushes Mini?' Nate asked Lyon, but the former was unsure about this.
'I don't know, ' Lyon replied.
'Then you have to calm down and wait for the right moment to strike, but you won't be the one to strike first, ' Nate said.
Lyon didn't get the time to read the meaning of Nate's words as Nate was already speaking with Hulk again.
"Last time I checked, you are not the leader here, and I can't take such an order from you," Nate said.
"Ohhhh..., really?"
"But you will take order from this," Hulk said raising Mini over him and looking at Nate.
"Not that either, I take orders from no one!" he shouted. Getting prepared to fight.
"We share see about that," Hulk said as he was now going to squeeze Mini and crush her.
However, it was then a phantom figure came crashing with him, seeing him off flying while Mini was thrown up into the sky, but Peter quickly leapt up and caught her before landing.
"You now can do what you want, Lyon" Nate muttered.
"Finally!" Lyon shouted out like a little boy before dashing after Hulk.
"We both still have unfinished business and I promised you something, it's time to fulfil my promise," Lyon said when he caught up with Hulk in a very bad condition.
