Manhattan.
Octopus Industries headquarters building.
Russell sat on the boss's chair in the chairman's office and rubbed his temples.
After temporarily placing Hulk in the unmanned manufacturing factory controlled by No. 3, he returned to the office wearing Endosymbiosis Unit-1.
Tonight's news headlines are now playing on the huge virtual screen in the office.
That's right!
He is the protagonist in the headlines!
Although it has only been more than an hour since he took Hulk away, major media have already dug up his true identity.
Only that part of the earthly world.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that these news media already know that he is the notorious killer traveler in the underground world.
But for now, all major news media have tacitly ignored this point.
Russell was not surprised by this.
If these media did not dig out his true identity in the underground world, of course they could only report on his apparent identity.
For example, the person in charge of the Octopus Monster Private Detective Agency and the person in charge of the Octopus Monster Laboratory, etc.
If these media knew that he was a notorious killer traveler, they would pretend to know nothing out of concern for their own safety.
After all, being approached by a notorious killer who never misses a beat is not a very pleasant experience.
Especially when this killer still has the style of vengeance and extermination.
The huge virtual screen in front of him displayed real-time reports from several news channels at the same time.
Although they are on different channels, without exception, news about him is now being broadcast.
As for Hulk, who was supposed to be the protagonist, he is now labeled as a "dangerous element" and a "terrorist".
After reading the reports from major media, Russell said directly: "On the 3rd, contact these media and tell them that I will hold a press conference at the company headquarters tomorrow morning."
"Okay, sir!"
The voice of No. 3 rang immediately.
After giving orders to No. 3, Russell picked up the phone and made a call to Diana.
Diana is currently working with colleagues at the museum to decipher the encrypted Dead Sea Scrolls, and may not know this.
But regardless of whether Diana knew it now or not, Russell planned to tell Diana in advance.
At tomorrow's press conference, in addition to announcing that he is the serum, he will also announce the Justice League.
The call was answered quickly.
Russell told Diana some of his plans.
After listening to his arrangement, Diana replied directly without any hesitation: "No problem, if you want to announce it, then go ahead and announce it. If you need, I can also go there in my armor."
Not only does Diana not intend to stop Russell, but she also plans to support Russell with practical actions.
"It's better to announce your identity later."
"If you also reveal your identity, you will give up your job at the museum."
Diana didn't have Superman Clark's magical glasses.
Once she makes her official debut, she will no longer be able to live the ordinary life she likes.
"Well, it's up to you to decide!"
Diana replied extremely gently.
After talking to Diana on the phone, Russell thought about the press conference and then went home wearing Endosymbiosis Unit-1.
Diana worked overtime until after eleven o'clock in the evening before returning to the apartment.
Although she had to work overtime for a day, it was nothing to Diana with her extraordinary physique.
When Diana returned to her apartment, Russell made her a late-night snack.
After eating and drinking, they took a comfortable mandarin duck bath and did some of their favorite things, and then they hugged each other and entered the dream.
the next day.
Although Diana got up early and went to work.
But before going to work, she still prepared a warm breakfast for Russell.
After tasting the breakfast made by Diana in the apartment, Russell put on Unit 1 and came to the Octopus Monster headquarters building.
There is only one hour left before the press conference starts.
As soon as he came to the office and undressed Unit 1, the voice of Number 3 rang.
"Sir, Director Coulson of SHIELD's New York branch has been waiting in the reception room for more than an hour. He wants to meet with you before the press conference starts. Do you want to meet him?"
"See him again after the press conference. If he doesn't want to, let him leave!"
Russell was not surprised at all that Coulson would come looking for him.
In other words, he would be surprised if SHIELD didn't show any signs at all.
Ten thirty minutes in the morning.
The press conference was held on time.
Russell came to the conference room prepared in advance wearing an expensive hand-tailored suit and glanced at the reporters sitting under the podium.
As he glanced at these reporters, the reporters sitting on the chairs were also looking at him.
The flash lights came on one after another.
The photographers and videographers at the scene pointed their large and small lenses at him.
Russell wasted no time, glanced at the speech in his hand, and said directly: "First of all, thank you all for taking the time to attend this impromptu press conference."
"I won't say anything unnecessary."
"I am the serum!"
When Russell said that he was the serum, the flashing lights that were already flashing crazily started flashing even more crazily.
As soon as he finished speaking, a blond female reporter wearing a gray OL uniform stood up and said to him: "Mr. Bradley, we know that you are the superhero serum that has become active in New York recently.
"I want to ask, what happened to the green monster yesterday, and how did you deal with that green monster?"
Russell first looked at the blond female reporter with a pretty face and a good figure, and then showed a very friendly smile.
Then, he slowly said: "Miss, let me correct you, that one last night was not a green monster, he was my friend, and his name was Hulk!"
After speaking, Russell motioned the blonde female reporter to sit down and continued to explain: "Although he doesn't look like a human being, he is a human being just like us."
"Strictly speaking, he is similar to Mr. Ben Grimm, the stone man in the Fantastic Four."
"Because they have awakened their superpowers, their appearance has become a little different from ours."
"But their essence is still the same as ours. You can't say that Mr. Ben Grim is a stone monster just because he looks different from us."
Russell never thought about locking up the Hulk secretly, so he thought about how to explain the Hulk's existence to the public early on.
With the case of Stone Man, it is not troublesome to explain Hulk's identity.
Of course, anyone who knows the truth knows that what he is telling now is not the truth.
But that doesn't matter at all.
Isn't it just deception?
This is not a difficult task!
As long as there is a relatively reasonable explanation, the problem of Hulk's identity is not difficult to solve.
