Chapter 67: The Cruel Ways of Fighting

However, Hawkeye wasn’t easy to deal with. After all, the two of them were equal in combat strength, making the fight prolong for quite a while.

The battle between the two was quite fierce, even more so because their physical condition was very good, making the battle quite hard to judge in a short period of time.

“Barton, wake up!”

The close combat fighting ability of the Black Widow was very strong, but her opponent was Barton and it was difficult for her to quickly subdue him because she didn’t want to really hurt him.

At this time, Hawkeye’s eyes revealed a strange blue light, which looked extremely out of place on him. This blue light was naturally the blue light that represented someone being controlled, so while Hawkeye was treating her as an enemy, she could only try her best not to hurt him.

“Bang!”

Hawkeye hit downwards with his fist, and as the Black Widow didn’t resist it in time, she was smashed into the wall.

The great power of that fist was not something the Black Widow could bear. She only felt that her body turned inside out and almost vomited out blood.

After that, Hawkeye directly took out his gun and shot towards her.

“Clang!”

But before he could pull the trigger, a flying knife suddenly came following a sonic boom, and as fast as a lightning bolt, it instantly hit Barton’s gun.

The Black Widow turned back, and saw Bruce standing there wearing a black suit.

“How is he?” Black Widow asked, feeling relieved as well as worried at the same time.

Since Bruce had appeared here unharmed, it was only natural that the Hulk was no longer a threat to them right now.

Bruce did not answer her but moved forward instead, throwing out dozens of flying knives toward Hawkeye. Every single flying knife had great power, further strengthened by the momentum of It’s speed that was as fast as a bullet.

“Clang,Clang,Clang…”

Hawkeye was worthy of his nickname, he immediately found the danger he was in with his Super vision and dodged the knives Bruce had thrown at him.

Following that, Bruce darted towards Hawkeye and smashed into him, making Hawkeye unable to resist as he heavily fell to the ground.

Keeping his advantage, Bruce hit Hawkeye’s stomach over and over again, his face not revealing any expression in the meanwhile, instead keeping his cool.

At this moment, Hawkeye was unable to withstand the onslaught, he just felt dizzy after being hit by Bruce a few times. All of this had happened too fast. Moreover, Bruce had so many powerful abilities that Hawkeye couldn’t withstand them all.

After seeing the current situation, Black Widow’s face revealed the total shock she was in. Even she herself couldn’t beat Hawkeye in such a short time, but Bruce had done so easily!

Especially Bruce’s close combat fighting ability, she felt that she couldn’t compare with Bruce.

But just when the Black Widow was sighing, she saw that Bruce had grabbed Hawkeye’s neck and held his head, preparing to hit it toward the ground.

“No!” The Black Widow exclaimed. Hawkeye wouldn’t be able to bear such a hit.

But Bruce ignored her and continued his action without paying her any heed.

“Bang!”

Hawkeye’s head hit the ground and he passed out instantly under that huge power. If it wasn’t because Bruce had reduced the strength of that final smash, Hawkeye wouldn’t only be passed out.

“Bruce, what are you doing?” The Black Widow asked in anger.

After all, Hawkeye and her used to be the best comrade-in-arms. Now when she saw that Bruce had hit Hawkeye so heavily she thought that he was surely trying to kill Hawkeye. Why did Bruce have to use such a cruel way to fight when he was facing one of their own?!

Bruce stood up and stared at the Black Widow coldly, the face wasn’t still not changing.

“His head needed to be cleared.” After saying that, he directly turned back and left without any other superfluous explanations.

It had been less than three minutes from the start of their battle, and yet such a legendary agent had been so easily beaten by Bruce.

“What kind of a guy is he?” The Black Widow asked herself.

After that, she hurriedly called other agents that helped her send Hawkeye back to therapy. After all, Bruce’s attack just now had been quite powerful, not something one could sleep off.

After that, she called more agents to reinforce the position here, while Bruce on the other hand, was standing still, as the system’s voice spoke up in his head.

“Beep, the battle has ended, you have obtained 20 points of energy value.”

The energy value he got this time was the same as when he fought with Loki, and this was in his expectations. After all, the first time he fought with Hawkeye he hadn’t done his best, but this time around, he used his newly improved strength to beat him with ease.

After the fight with Hulk and Hawkeye, he got a total of 220 points of energy value. Although it wasn’t too much, it was still enough for him to do something.

Regardless of that however, Bruce didn’t intend to use his energy value immediately, as the New York War was just beginning. Soon, when he would face the Chitauri, even if each one of them only game 1 point of energy value, as long as he was fast enough, getting a few thousand points of energy value wouldn’t be a problem.

After the New York War was over, Bruce would be able to download some of the more powerful abilities from the three big shots of the Avengers Alliance, and those were the real superpowers.

Just as Bruce was thinking, the whole Helicarrier had returned to a stable state and stopped falling downwards. It seems that Captain America and Iron Man had teamed up and they had stabilized the Helicarrier.

Soon afterwards, Bruce came to the place where Loki was held at first. The huge transparent prison had disappeared, leaving only Nick Fury and a dying Coulson.

Bruce did not say anything when he saw the situation. He knew that Coulson wouldn’t really die, but the chances were slim that Coulson would appear in a future plot.

It should be impossible for Bruce to see him again in the future.

“Mr. Fury.” Bruce stood behind Nick Fry and slowly opened his mouth.

Nick Fry turned to Bruce and took a deep breath, before saying, “Coulson is dead.”

Bruce nodded in response to show that he understood. Coulson’s death was undoubtedly a huge blow to Fury, as even now he didn’t know whether the Avengers plan should continue to be carried out or not.

“Sir, Loki has run away. This is not the time to be sad.” Bruce was very calm at this moment. But it seemed that the Nick Fury of this timeline was somewhat different from the one he knew.

Regardless of that however, he had to push the development of the plot forward, to the opening of the New York War.

“What is your suggestion?” Fury stood up with a questioning expression on his face. He stared at Bruce as if he wanted to see through him.

“I know that you have found out that I did something about Parker, I have no reason to hide this as well, but even though you know, you also know that I haven’t endangered that child, so you haven’t investigated me.”

Bruce was very calm, he could guess that Fury had known about that sort of thing, as after all, this was S.H.I.E.L.D. As long as Fury wanted to investigate, he would certainly find out.

“You are very clever. And yes, you are right, I know about that thing. But what do you think about the Avengers?” Nick Fury said. He considered himself a very shrewd person, but he still couldn’t see through Bruce.

He wasn’t even sure about Bruce’s intentions yet. But the one thing he was sure about, was that Bruce was not one of HYDRA’s people, and that he wasn’t a threat to S.H.I.E.L.D.

So naturally, he wanted to hear Bruce’s opinion on the matter, as well as what to do next?

“We need a plan, and Mr. Coulson’s death will be the most important part of our plan.” Bruce smiled as a glimmer of light shone in his eyes.

He wanted to control the S.H.I.E.L.D. and the Avengers, and this was only the first step of his plan.
