816: Chapter 816 Another member joins the Akatsuki organization

The One-eyed Black Hard-boiled Egg wanted to vent with a roar.

But then he remembered he was in the Director's office.

There were people outside!

If they heard his angry and unwilling roar, who knows what would happen.

Moreover, he had to maintain his posture as the Director who had everything under control.

Roaring was out of the question.

The One-eyed Black Hard-boiled Egg could only grit his teeth, his face turning beet red.

Fortunately, no one saw this alluring posture.

Otherwise... who knows what they might think.

"No, no... the Akatsuki Organization shouldn't be viewed as an enemy... cooperation and allies are the more correct path!" Nick Fury's mind raced.

Thinking about future strategies.

The Akatsuki Organization now has "acquaintances" in it—Tony Stark. Although things weren't very pleasant before, they are still acquaintances after all.

And he believed he understood Tony fairly well. Although he was a bit indulgent, arrogant, and sharp-tongued, he was essentially a person worth knowing.

Then there's Peter Parker, Spider-Man... this one could even be called a good person.

Looking at their records... the fact that these two can stay in the Akatsuki Organization and be so enthusiastic about it.

That indicates the organization's core nature isn't bad, at least.

With these two there, the difficulty for S.H.I.E.L.D. to form an Alliance with the Akatsuki Organization isn't that high!

Besides, it's not like the Akatsuki Organization doesn't form Alliances; isn't Kamar-Taj an example?

S.H.I.E.L.D. already knows about the Alliance between Kamar-Taj and the Akatsuki Organization.

Nick Fury also knew about the matter with the sorcerers.

"Right... the Alliance path..." Nick Fury thought of a strategy and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Indeed! Why make an enemy of them?

...

On the Akatsuki Organization's side.

Peter Parker and Gwen were waiting on the mountaintop with the shaken Dr. Banner.

Tony and Polaris soon flew over.

"Hey! Dr. Banner, hello, I'm Tony Stark!" Tony flew down, the mask on his face opening to reveal his features.

"H-hello! Tony!" Banner saw Tony; he had heard of the famous Tony Stark and often saw him on TV, so he knew what he looked like.

"Don't be nervous, Dr. Banner. We're from the Akatsuki Organization. Did Peter tell you?" Tony said to Banner with a smile.

"He did..." Banner nodded. Peter and Gwen had given him a general idea, and he had listened to most of it.

In short, for now, they didn't seem to have any ill intent toward him, and he hadn't transformed into the Hulk.

Everything seemed okay so far.

"That's good. In that case, come back to the base with us first," Tony said to Banner. "Once you're there, you can rest easy.

Rest assured, your whereabouts and safety are guaranteed, as long as our Akatsuki Organization is willing. As for the Hulk issue, I think you should look at it from a different perspective, but let's wait until we get back to the base to talk about all that! With the Boss there, it'll be even more reassuring."

"Uh... okay." Banner nodded. At this point, what else could he say? He had actually seen the battle from afar, since they were all fighting in the air.

Four such mysterious beings had found him and wanted to take him to some Akatsuki Organization... to be honest, he was a bit worried.

But there was nothing he could do; he was already in this situation.

Moreover, they said they had a way to solve the Hulk issue.

Banner, who was desperate to deal with the Hulk, was willing to take a gamble at this stage.

At least, he felt these people weren't bad—or rather, the first impression was quite good.

"Alright then, let's head out! Dr. Banner will be in your care, Polaris," Tony turned and said to Polaris.

"Mm." Polaris nodded. A large amount of nano-metal sprayed out from both sides of the flight device under her.

Then it formed something like a chair, directly "lifting" Banner up and letting him sit on it, with his hands and feet secured.

Polaris used her ability to control it, making him fly up along with her.

Tony took out a mask and put it on Banner, providing enough oxygen, and Lorna's ability had already let those nano-metals protect Banner.

This mask was to prevent Banner from having any adverse reactions at high altitudes.

"Let's go back. Xiao, if you please," Tony said.

"Understood."

They flew high into the sky; the suits on Peter and Gwen also had flight functions.

Meanwhile, Xiao helped them block all detection; at high altitudes, they were very difficult to discover.

Soon, they reached a "teleportation point" in the wild that they had contacted in advance. With the help of a Kamar-Taj sorcerer, they teleported directly back to the base.

Afterwards, the sorcerer who completed the task also used a portal to return to the New York Holy Land.

This journey had left Banner completely stunned.

Outrageous technology, and outrageous... abilities!

Portals? Cross-dimensional? Sorcerers?

And this base... Holy shit! What exactly is going on with this world?

Oh... I'm a monster too! Never mind then.

Banner felt like he was about to go crazy.

"Welcome to the Akatsuki Organization base, Dr. Banner," Tony said to Banner with a smile.

The armor on his body unlocked itself and finally turned into a briefcase.

Peter, Gwen, and Polaris Lorna also took off their masks.

"I'm Peter Parker, code name Spider-Man."

"I'm Gwen, code name Ghost-Spider."

"Lorna, Polaris."

"Alright, then I'll go too... Iron Man, Tony Stark!"

The four of them introduced themselves to Banner.

At the same time, Dr. Yinsen and Dr. Connors also came by invitation.

"Dr. Banner! I've heard so much about you! I'm Yinsen."

"Connors!"

"I've heard of you," Banner said, looking at Connors and Yinsen. Both were "big shots" in their respective Domains.

Bruce Banner was a PhD in nuclear physics, as well as a top expert in biochemistry and gamma radiation, with seven doctorates.

Connors and Yinsen were no less impressive, both being big shots in various fields, and Connors and Banner were essentially in the same line of work.

There had even been discussions on the internet before regarding Banner's "cure."

Compared to the others, Banner felt more relaxed upon seeing Connors; at least there was a familiar face!

"Yinsen and I are currently working for the Akatsuki Organization. To be honest, the benefits are really good, and it's very free, without any interference—you know what I mean," Connors said to Banner.

As a fellow big shot, Banner naturally understood what Connors meant and knew how much that was worth.

"So you want me to join the Akatsuki Organization?" Banner asked, glancing at Tony.

"Of course! I'll give you a brief introduction to the Akatsuki Organization and you'll see, as well as the benefits for you. As for more details, you'll have to talk to our Boss..." Tony said to Banner.

Then he briefly introduced the situation of the Akatsuki Organization and this underground base, adding that if Banner agreed to join, he would have the same level and benefits as Connors and Yinsen.

With the Hulk issue, his level might even be higher, since Banner could also become a very powerful combatant.

It just depended on whether Banner himself was willing.
