Chapter 183: C179
Ordinary people would probably faint on the spot if the Hulk glared at them like this.
Leon, however, didn't take it seriously at all and even stared back. The frightened Hulk shrank back, lowered his head in an aggrieved manner, and quietly ate his food.
Though Hulk is filled with rage most of the time, he instinctively resorts to violence only when he feels extremely insecure. Violence is his way of ensuring psychological safety.
But now, with a large group of friends, Hulk has no reason to act out. Moreover, his beastly instincts detect an unprecedented sense of danger emanating from Leon. Hulk is no fool—he knows better than to provoke the big boss.
"Is this the hell you're talking about, the one I'm thinking of?" Natasha asked, her captivating eyes fixed on Leon.
"Uh-huh. Don't you all know about that place called Hell? I even exchanged greetings with the Demon Lord Mephisto himself."
"Although I said hello, my impression of that meeting wasn't exactly great," Pietro muttered, his tone dripping with sarcasm.
On that fateful trip to Texas, Pietro had met some fascinating companions before running into Mephisto. That encounter turned into an earth-shattering battle he would never forget. Mephisto's immense power still haunted his memories, as vivid as if it had happened yesterday.
If not for Leon, he had no idea how they would've survived that terrifying ordeal.
And now, Leon wanted to lead them back to Hell.
"Let's be clear: Hell is chaotic, but beneath all that chaos lies the perfect place for you at this stage," Leon explained with calm confidence.
