Someone took Sophia away again?!
Looking at the seemingly polite words on the paper, Qin Xuan couldn't help but furrow his brow into a deep frown.
He was in the United States now, and he shouldn't have any enemies. Why would someone use Sophia to threaten him?
Moreover, judging from the timing of the kidnapping, it perfectly coincided with the departure of the Dragon Country team and his own visit to Amy's room.
This meant that the other party was very well-informed about his and the Dragon Country team's whereabouts.
It couldn't be someone without any power.
So the question arose.
Who else would want to lure him out now?
The remnants of the Dark Web forces?
That shouldn't be possible.
He had killed almost all of their leaders and management.
Even if they wanted revenge, there shouldn't be many people capable of organizing it.
Could it be the mysterious organization that Boss Xiao came from?
That was also unlikely.
Since arriving in the United States, he hadn't encountered anything related to that organization at all.
The timing of their sudden move was clearly illogical.
After much thought, Qin Xuan still focused his target on the US authorities.
More accurately, it was that narrow-minded old man, Davis.
Ever since he had confronted Davis in La City, Davis had held a grudge against him.
Not only did Davis deliberately target him before the international competition, but he also issued a kill order to Steve and the others during the competition.
If it weren't for his superior strength, even defeating the Hulk, who was at the peak of the mid-stage God-tier.
He might not have had the chance to survive the competition yesterday!
Looking at it this way, it made perfect sense for this old man to use Sophia again today to lure him out.
He just didn't know if he would disregard his reputation and personally step in today.
As a God-tier Supreme, would he directly kill him in the United States?
Without further hesitation, Qin Xuan quickly called Yuan Mengqi to take Little Amy away.
He himself, with a swift movement, headed directly to the address on the paper.
The location was again a relatively desolate park with woods.
Apart from a few homeless people lying on the ground, there were no other pedestrians around.
Qin Xuan followed the direction indicated on the paper westward, arriving deep into the park's jungle. Here, he finally met the person who left the paper, and Sophia, looking wronged.
As expected.
It was the US authorities who had kidnapped Sophia and brought her here.
And waiting for Qin Xuan here was not that old man Davis, but someone Qin Xuan was familiar with.
Steve Bruce.
The Hulk from yesterday's competition!
"Mr. Qin Xuan, you've arrived..."
Seeing Qin Xuan, Steve gave a wry smile, his expression filled with helplessness.
At this moment, he was perfectly lucid, and the teeth knocked out by Qin Xuan had all grown back neatly.
To be honest, if there was any possibility, he really didn't want to see this seemingly harmless Dragon Countryman again.
Although when he transformed into the Hulk, Steve's main consciousness would fall into a deep sleep.
But every time he woke up from this slumber, the previous events would become a memory, entering the depths of his mind.
Therefore, Steve not only knew about being beaten by Qin Xuan but also had a vivid memory of it.
If it weren't for the upbringing that required absolute loyalty to his Supreme, he wouldn't have dared to trouble Qin Xuan again even if he were beaten to death today.
Seeing Steve's expression, Qin Xuan understood.
Undoubtedly, Steve was sent by Davis.
After all, Davis was still hesitant to act himself, so he sent out his strongest subordinate again.
And this time, Steve's strength had also significantly increased.
It was clear that after yesterday's failure, Davis had further enhanced him in various aspects.
"You want to keep me in the United States permanently?"
"Then it depends on whether you have the ability!"
"However, Sophia is innocent. If you have any humanity left, let her leave on her own."
Ignoring Steve's personal feelings, Qin Xuan directly told him to release Sophia.
He knew that whether to fight or not, this guy couldn't make the decision.
So instead of wasting words with him, it was better to settle it with action.
Steve nodded, relieved.
According to his principles, he naturally disdained using such methods to coerce others.
Since Qin Xuan had no intention of leaving alone now, he quickly stepped forward to untie her.
"Brother Qin Xuan..."
Seeing Qin Xuan come alone for her, Sophia's eyes welled up with tears again.
Last night, she had finally made up her mind to completely separate from Qin Xuan and pursue her own life.
This morning, she encountered this incident.
Besides being scared, she was also very anxious.
After all, she had left without saying goodbye, effectively drawing a line with Qin Xuan.
Whether he came or not, whether he saved her or not, was actually quite normal.
She was afraid that if he came, she would put him in danger.
She was even more afraid that if he didn't come, it would be a more complete separation than she had intended.
But when Qin Xuan's figure reappeared before her, Sophia painfully realized that she couldn't forget him at all.
What about leaving alone and finding her own life?
It was all self-deception.
"Alright, it's okay now."
"You can leave from the exit over there. I've already asked Mengqi to bring people to pick you up."
Seeing Sophia slowly walk towards him with teary eyes, Qin Xuan slowly spoke, gently comforting her.
Sophia sobbed softly but nodded and left.
She knew what was about to happen here.
And all she could do now was to leave as quickly as possible and not hold Brother Qin Xuan back.
So, despite her heart being filled with a thousand unspoken words, she quickly ran away, not even looking back.
"Alright, now there are only you and me here."
"Summon that guy inside you and let me see how strong he has become."
After watching Sophia leave the woods, Qin Xuan turned around and looked back at Steve, who was still standing there.
Steve gave a wry smile but, like Qin Xuan, didn't intend to say much.
The command from the God-tier Supreme was to kill Qin Xuan with all his might.
All he could do now was to fully commit himself and bring this intention to the Hulk's subconscious.
Recalling Susan, Steve's emotions began to amplify.
A hint of green gradually appeared on his fair face.
His robust chest muscles also began to enlarge, reaching an extremely exaggerated dimension.
But just as Steve pressed his hands down, preparing to completely surrender his body to the entity within him.
A strange sensation instantly flooded his mind.
This was some subtle emotion transmitted to him by the entity when transforming into the Hulk.
And the information transmitted this time made Steve greatly surprised.
Fear, endless fear!
Upon seeing Qin Xuan standing not far away, that entity transmitted a large amount of fear and terror signals to him.
After this series of emotional outbursts, Steve's physique instantly shrank, and the color on his body began to dissipate.
Until finally, he returned to his original fair and delicate skin, his mind clear, with no trace of an impending transformation.
