Roger returned to the police station with no particular emotions, while Luna appeared tense. Knowing Roger's identity and with her sharp intuition, she had already deduced the reason why the police wanted to speak with him.

Worried that she might accidentally say something inappropriate, her nervousness only deepened.

Roger, on the other hand, remained calm, as though he had no fear of his identity being exposed. He behaved as if he were attending a routine conversation.

And it was indeed just that—a routine conversation. Officer Chris had called it an invitation, and he treated it as such.

Instead of bringing them to the interrogation room, Officer Chris led them to the reception room and even prepared coffee for them, avoiding any behavior resembling an interrogation.

Roger glanced down at the coffee cup before raising his head to ask Officer Chris, "Officer, just get to the point. I have other things to do."

"Don't worry, this won't take too much time. But before that, I'd like you both to watch a few videos."

Officer Chris signaled to his subordinate with a glance.

Detective Brown understood immediately, pulling out a tablet and placing it in front of them.

Roger and Luna played the videos prepared on the device. Upon seeing them, Luna's expression shifted. She instinctively glanced at Roger.

The footage showed a figure flying across the screen. Judging by the individual's features, they bore a striking resemblance to Roger.

Luna's reaction did not go unnoticed by Officer Chris, who scrutinized both individuals, waiting for their response.

Roger, with his super senses always active, sighed and said, "Just ask your questions."

"In that case, I'll be straightforward, Mr. Roger. The person in the video—is that you?"

"It's me."

Roger admitted without hesitation.

Luna, who had assumed Roger would deny it, stared at him in disbelief.

Weren't they supposed to keep this secret? Why confess now?

Even Officer Chris hadn't expected such a direct admission and was momentarily at a loss for how to proceed.

Seeing their reactions, Roger asked, "What's the matter? Didn't you already have solid evidence before bringing me here?"

"That's true, but... I didn't expect you to admit it so quickly, Mr. Roger."

"There's no point in hiding it anymore. I assume you're already aware of what happened in San Francisco. Otherwise, you wouldn't have waited until now to approach me."

Roger spoke with a calm tone.

The police had likely been monitoring him for a while. Roger had sensed someone watching him long ago but had chosen to remain silent.

....

This wasn't about the Hulk—he had only recently appeared. Even with the fastest intelligence networks, there was no way they could know about events across the states within an hour.

Instead, they were likely aware of Roger's playful encounter with fighter jets and the incident involving the Lizard and Spider-Man.

Roger had deliberately handed over the Lizard to the Authorities, partly to prepare them psychologically. It wasn't surprising that they had now connected the dots to his identity.
