The Mutant God in American Comics.

Chapter 248 Subconscious Brand

Although Betty never mentioned Banner in front of Richard, it didn't mean that she had completely forgotten Banner.

After all, Banner was her boyfriend of several years.

If Banner hadn't had an accident, they might have been married now.

After hearing Roy's answer, Betty was silent for a few seconds.

Then, he continued, “Did you always know that he was my ex-boyfriend?”

"Yes, I already knew it before I came into contact with you."

Richard replied.

"Is that why you came to contact me?"

Betty looked at Richard seriously.

"of course not!"

"I came to contact you because you are good-looking and meet my aesthetic standards."

"Even if he wasn't your ex-boyfriend, I would still come to you."

Richard said slowly.

Although he knew about Betty's existence because of Banner, he dated Betty not because she was Banner's ex-girlfriend.

Of course, he did not deny that Betty, who was labeled as "Banner's ex-girlfriend", made him have a stronger desire to conquer her.

"If you knew where he was, why didn't you tell me?"

Betty said, frowning.

"It's simple, because I'm a normal man. I'm not magnanimous enough to tell you about his situation and ask you to go find him."

Richard said slowly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a satisfied smile flashed across Betty's oval face involuntarily.

Although she had never forgotten Banner, he had been away from her for several years after all.

In addition, when she and Richard developed a relationship beyond friendship, Richard gradually replaced Banner's position in her heart.

Otherwise, the moment she saw Banner, she would take the initiative to throw herself into his arms.

After a period of silence, Betty continued, "So what are you going to do with Banner next?"

"If my father knew he was back, he would send someone to arrest him."

Although Betty no longer cares about Banner as much as before, she still doesn't want Banner to fall into General Ross's hands.

"Don't worry, I will take care of this problem."

"I will make your father give up the idea of ​​continuing to capture Banner."

Richard said calmly.

For others, it’s a difficult thing to do.

But for him, it was as easy as drinking water.

Don’t say anything else.

All he had to do was go to the Pentagon and perform a telepathic operation on General Ross.

In addition to using telepathy, he could also use other methods to make General Ross give up the idea of ​​capturing Banner.

For example, showing your strength to General Ross.

"Uh-huh!"

Betty didn't ask Richard how he planned to convince General Ross, but just nodded.

After knowing that Richard was a superhuman and witnessing him defeat Hulk as if he were a child, she developed a blind trust in Richard.

Although she didn't know how many superpowers Richard had, or how strong he was, she knew that Richard would definitely have a way to solve this problem.

night.

Richard, Betty and Banner were sitting in the restaurant enjoying dinner.

Because she saw Banner again, Betty, who rarely cooks, cooked dinner for tonight herself.

Although her cooking skills are only average, the food she makes is not bad.

Banner sat opposite Richard and Betty, looking at them from time to time.

If possible, he didn't want Betty to be with anyone else.

But he knew that he could no longer be with Betty.

Unless he can return to his original state, no matter how much he likes Betty, he will not be able to continue to be with Betty.

Seeing Banner, who was much thinner and more haggard than she remembered, Betty curiously asked about Banner's experiences in the past few years. Banner did not hide anything and briefly recounted his life on the run in the past few years.

Betty became upset after hearing that Banner had to live in slums in various cities and support himself by doing odd jobs in order to hide his whereabouts.

Although Banner said it lightly, she knew that kind of life was not easy.

Especially for Banner, who had never had any experience of escaping or living at the bottom of society before.

Time passes little by little.

After eating and drinking, Richard and the other two sat down on the sofa in the living room.

"How are you going to get General Ross to stop arresting them?"

"Go over and threaten him directly?"

Banner asked Richard.

Under the gaze of Banner and Betty, Richard said slowly: "Using threats to make him stop arresting is a bit too unskilled."

"I will find another way to make him give up the idea of ​​arresting you."

Any other way?

Banner frowned and thought for a moment, then continued, "What method?"

"You don't have to worry about this."

Richard replied.

Although he had already used telepathy on Banner, he did not intend to explain in detail to Banner and Betty what telepathy's abilities were.

"If you don't want to say it, forget it."

"I'm going to go back and rest first, you guys can chat slowly."

After saying that, Banner stood up and turned to walk towards the second bedroom.

That being said, he doesn't feel tired at all right now.

After taking a shower, he slept in the second bedroom for several hours.

He wasn't woken until Betty had prepared dinner.

He didn't want to stay in the living room now, simply because he didn't want to see Richard and Betty sitting together intimately like a couple.

Although he didn't say it, Richard and Betty both guessed what he was really thinking.

When Banner returned to the second bedroom, Richard said to Betty, "I'm going to see your father and will be back soon."

"Uh-huh."

Betty nodded immediately.

Under her gaze, Richard, who had performed teleportation, disappeared instantly.

Less than a minute later, Richard returned to the living room.

"Have you finished meeting my father?"

Betty looked at Richard with some surprise and asked quickly.

"We've met. He won't send anyone to arrest Banner again."

Richard replied.

After using teleportation to arrive above the Pentagon, he immediately locked onto General Ross with telepathy.

Afterwards, he used telepathy to imprint General Ross subconsciously to stop capturing Banner.

Although he did not directly erase General Ross's memory, the subconscious imprint he left behind was enough to make General Ross stop capturing Banner.

Not only that, because it is an influence from the subconscious mind, General Ross will not have any doubts and will only think that this is his own decision.

Betty didn't ask Richard how he did it. She walked straight up to him, put her arms around his neck, and gave him a passionate kiss.

Richard did not reject Betty. He hugged Betty's slender waist, decisively performed telepathy, and brought Betty to the bedroom.

Soon, the sound of playing cards, which was not suitable for children, could be heard from the bedroom.

Although Betty tried her best to control her voice, there were some things that she couldn't control just because she wanted to.

It was a pretty good night for Richard and Betty.

But for Banner, this night was a bit difficult.

The second bedroom where Banner lives is on the first floor.

But he could still follow the sounds coming from the master bedroom on the second floor.
