The Great Demon Lord of the American Comics World

Chapter 101, Susan's Little Secret, The Mutant Night Raid!

early morning.

It was still drizzling outside the window, the pattering rain was incredibly soothing, making one feel as if they were locked in bed, reluctant to get up.

Suddenly, a cell phone on the bedside table started vibrating. The annoying vibration lasted for quite a while before finally stopping, but it started vibrating again after only two seconds, as if it were persistent and unyielding.

Annoyed by the constant vibrations of the phone, a slender arm finally emerged from under the covers and picked up the phone.

Then Susan's sleepy face peeked out and she pressed the answer button.

She kept her eyes closed and didn't speak; she looked as if she had fallen asleep again.

After a long pause, Johnny finally spoke tentatively on the phone:

"Sis, are you alright?"

Susan waited two or three seconds before murmuring her reply:

"Johnny, you'd better come up with a plausible excuse, or I'll beat you up as punishment for disturbing my sweet dreams..."

“The reason, of course, is that I’m worried about my dear older sister’s safety since she didn’t come home all night,” Johnny teased lightly. “But it sounds like you had a wonderful night?”

Susan seemed to finally come to her senses, blushing as she lightly spat out a curse:
"You disrespectful bastard..."

She paused abruptly as she spoke, and a soft "hmm" involuntarily escaped her delicate nose.

Susan turned around and gave Li Xingzhou a shy and reproachful glare.

Upon hearing that soft "hmm," Johnny, sensing the situation, chuckled knowingly and teased:
"Looks like you're about to start your morning exercise, so I won't disturb you any longer. Reed is going to do some important research on our superpowers today, remember to be back before noon..."

Without waiting for a reply, he hung up the phone.

Susan tossed the phone onto the bedside table, grabbed Li Xingzhou's mischievous hand, bent down and lightly bit his forearm, then turned to kiss him...

The two didn't get up until 10 o'clock.

After getting up, Susan blushed and bit her lip, silently changing the sheets in preparation for taking them to the bathroom to wash.

Li Xingzhou didn't stop her, but instead put his arm around her slender waist from behind and whispered in her ear:
"There are clean sheets and blankets on the top shelf of the wardrobe in the walk-in closet. Take your time tidying them up... I'll go prepare breakfast."

After saying that, he gave her a light kiss on the ear and went downstairs to the kitchen to prepare breakfast.

Susan changed the sheets and blankets, then moved a stool to the front of the wardrobe in the walk-in closet. As she opened the wardrobe door and was about to step onto the stool, she suddenly noticed some clothes that shouldn't be in a man's wardrobe.

It was a black women's belted long trench coat, and next to it hung a black leather jacket. Just by looking at the style, you could imagine how sexy the leather jacket would look on someone wearing it.

Susan pouted and snorted softly, "Playboy..."

After scanning the cabinet again, I found several more sets of women's clothes in different sizes and styles.

There are small-sized office lady uniforms, oversized Japanese kendo uniforms, and even a Spider-Woman bodysuit.

At that moment, the first thought that popped into Susan's mind wasn't anger, but rather...

"I also need to put one of my clothes in here."

She was wearing a Li Xingzhou crew neck T-shirt, and that was all she was wearing.

However, she was only 170cm tall, while Li Xingzhou was much taller. The hem of the T-shirt on her reached mid-thigh. It was just that the shoulders were a bit loose, the collar kept slipping off her shoulders, and the front looked like a low-cut cardigan.

She ran barefoot to the music room, found her off-the-shoulder dress that had fallen on the piano lid, and then ran back to the bedroom, tidied up the white dress, and hung it in the wardrobe.

After doing all that, she curled her lips slightly, and a smug smile like that of a little girl appeared on her pure and pretty face. She then took out the other women's clothes and tried them on herself.

"This office lady uniform is too small; it must be for a girl under 160cm tall… Spider-Woman's uniform, hmm, she's probably a little shorter than me, but this Spider-Woman suit is very stretchy, I should be able to fit into it. This Japanese kendo uniform… it would require a girl at least 175cm tall to wear. And this one…"

She picked up the tight leather outfit and compared it to herself. It seemed a little too big, but she could still wear it.

Spider-Woman's costume is too iconic for her to wear, so she put on this leather outfit instead.

After putting it on, she stood in front of the mirror and saw a woman with a curvaceous figure, a slender waist, and long legs. The beautiful curves of her body were perfectly outlined by the leather outfit, making her not only hot and sexy, but also exuding a dashing and heroic spirit.

She put on the women's belted long trench coat again, and when she looked in the mirror, she felt even more heroic and dashing, like a beautiful and sexy female warrior.

"Could the owner of this outfit be a female warrior?"

She really liked the outfit and kept looking at herself in the mirror from all angles. She thought to herself that Reed's envisioned battle suit was also a bodysuit, similar in style to this tight leather suit, and the dark blue color was also quite nice. But perhaps she should add a long trench coat as well?
Just as she was thinking of asking Reed to add a long overcoat to her battle suit when she got back, she suddenly heard Li Xingzhou's voice:

"Susan, breakfast is ready. Come and eat it while it's hot."

Susan was slightly startled. She looked around guiltily, and when she saw that he was not in the bedroom, she patted her ample chest and breathed a sigh of relief. Then she quickly took off her clothes and hung them back in the closet, and changed into Li Xingzhou's crew neck T-shirt.

Then she stepped onto a stool, found clean sheets and blankets in the top shelf of the wardrobe, quickly made the bed, and carried the sheets and blankets she had taken off to the laundry room to wash. Only then did she walk briskly to the restaurant on the first floor.

Li Xingzhou sat in the restaurant, admiring Susan's sexy, seemingly missing pants outfit as she approached, and smiled slightly at her:
"I took some time this morning to order some clothes for you, and they should arrive soon."

Susan smiled sweetly, said thank you, sat down at the table, crossed her legs, gently swung her legs, picked up her spoon and ate her breakfast in small bites—well, at this time, it could be considered that she had eaten lunch as well.

Although breakfast was simple, just a plate of fried rice with eggs, Susan still enjoyed it very much.

Li Xingzhou's cooking skills were exceptionally good. The rice grains were distinct and had a slightly chewy texture, while the eggs had a subtle, crispy aroma, making it a delightful dish. The fried rice also contained perfectly cooked shrimp, pineapple chunks, and bacon, all blending together seamlessly for an impeccable culinary experience. However, the taste was secondary.

What made Susan happiest was that Li Xingzhou was willing to cook for her himself, using his top-notch culinary skills to prepare this loving breakfast.

This was something she had never experienced in her previous relationship.

This would be a perfect romance.

Susan thought to herself that regardless of whether his promises would be kept or not, even if he was just saying sweet words to make her happy, she was already content as long as she could enjoy the process.

After breakfast, the two chatted and laughed as they cleaned up the tableware and kitchenware. When the new clothes they ordered arrived, Susan changed into them and felt that both the underwear and outerwear were the perfect size. She felt a surge of sweet emotion and embraced Li Xingzhou with a passionate kiss, lingering with him for a while.

If Johnny hadn't mentioned that Reed was conducting a new and important study today, she really wouldn't have wanted to leave and would have wanted to stay with him all day.

Li Xingzhou showed enough patience with the Invisible Woman's slight clinginess, and only drove her back to the Baxter Building in Manhattan after she decided to leave on her own.

On the way, he asked Susan:
"When can I visit Dr. Reed to discuss donating to his laboratory?"

He wasn't going to provoke the victim directly—although Li Xingzhou shared Cao Cao's hobbies, and destroying houses was commonplace for a devil, Reed had already broken up with Susan before he met her, and they hadn't gotten back together yet. So, strictly speaking, dating Susan couldn't be considered as putting a cuckold's horns on Dr. Reed.

He genuinely wanted to visit Dr. Reed and get to know one of the world's smartest people so that he could get some high-tech gadgets from him in the future.

Susan said apologetically:

“Reed has been researching our superpowers lately and is so busy that he hasn’t even had time to eat or sleep, so he probably won’t have time to see you. But I will talk to him about this, and he will let you know as soon as he has time.”

It wasn't that she was embarrassed to let her current partner and ex meet. In America, there was no such taboo. As long as there was no infidelity, it wasn't a problem for an ex and current partner to meet, let alone to discuss serious matters.

Li Xingzhou nodded with a smile:
"Okay, I'll wait for your message."

Before noon, Li Xingzhou dropped Susan off at the Baxter Building, kissed her goodbye, and then returned to MASA headquarters, where he spent the afternoon.

When it was time to leave work, he called the Supreme Court's house to confirm that the Supreme Court was home. Then he called on the Supergirl, who was very popular with the Supreme Court's family, and asked his father to drive them to the Supreme Court's house for their weekly routine visit.

Along the way, Hit-Girl complained sullenly:
"Master, what have you been busy with every day this week? I haven't seen you for a whole week..."

The word "Master" was spoken in fluent and clear Chinese. In order to better understand the profound meaning of some teachings that cannot be expressed in alphabetic language, Hit-Girl has been working very hard to learn Chinese recently.

Although her efforts may not be of much use in the end, since Li Xingzhou can transmit the Dharma through his primordial spirit once his cultivation has recovered to a certain level, giving her enlightenment directly on a spiritual level, it is not wrong for a child to learn more knowledge.

Li Xingzhou smiled and patted her little head:

"Master has been incredibly busy this week. There are a lot of things to handle at the company and the prison, and I also have to occasionally play a superhero... You've probably seen me on the news, right?"

"That's true. Last night's news showed you flying in the sky with Iron Man, and you using 'Frost Breath' to put out a fire. Later, there was also news of you and Spider-Woman appearing together to rescue a bus..."

Children's moods change quickly; as she talked, she forgot her unhappiness and her face lit up with excitement.
"Master, your 'Frost Breath' looks really cool, can you teach me?"

Li Xingzhou smiled and said:

"Of course you can. But even if I teach you, you won't be able to use it now. You have to reach the Innate Realm before you can use this technique."

"What about the Spider-Woman photo? Didn't you say that if I studied well, you could give me an autographed Spider-Woman photo? Although school hasn't started yet, I've been studying hard with my tutor every day, in addition to my daily training. I've even learned Chinese."

"Yes, you study very hard, and I am very pleased... Here's what we'll do: tomorrow is Saturday, which is the time to guide you and your father in your cultivation. Tomorrow morning, I will invite Spider-Woman to my house so we can take a picture together."

"Ha, that's great! Long live Master!"

As they were talking, the little girl tried to pounce on Li Xingzhou and give him a kiss, but Li Xingzhou forcefully suppressed her by pressing her head down, preventing her from succeeding.

Seeing this in the rearview mirror, the old man breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself that although Li Ang was a playboy, he still had principles. Even with my adorable daughter, he wouldn't allow her to overstep any boundaries; it seemed he could rest assured now.

But what about the future?
My daughter will eventually grow up, what will I do then?

……

It was past 1 a.m.

On Rex Island, in front of a dark and gloomy beach, three electric kayaks sped onto the sand, and more than a dozen gunmen dressed in combat uniforms, wearing black masks, and equipped with long and short firearms jumped off.

After a brief regrouping, they formed a battle formation, quickly crossed the beach, and stealthily made their way towards the prison.

Soon, the prison's high walls and electrified barbed wire appeared in front of the team of fully armed gunmen.

The group stopped temporarily, used night vision binoculars to observe for a while, found a blind spot that was not visible to the wall-mounted surveillance cameras and watchtowers, and stealthily made their way towards it.

Sneaking to the foot of the high wall, a gunman lowered his gun, pressed his ear to the wall to listen for a while, then raised his hands and pressed them against the wall, his palms vibrating.

With a slight, buzzing sound like a mosquito, the wall quickly turned into dust and fell to the ground. In the blink of an eye, a large hole appeared in the thick wall, big enough for two people to bend over and pass through at the same time.

The black-clad gunmen who had shaken the wall open a large hole retreated to the side, clearing the entrance. Two more black-clad gunmen, armed with guns, stepped forward and crawled into the hole inside the high wall.

After confirming it was safe, the two who had entered first signaled to the outside, and the rest of the people quickly entered the prison through the hole in the wall. They walked along the wall for a while and then saw Building Number One of Rex Prison.

After observing for a while, the group formed a battle formation, left the shadow of the high wall, and made their way towards Building No. 1.

But after taking only a dozen steps, several loud bangs came from the No. 1 building opposite and the two watchtowers on the high wall behind them, followed by several bright beams of searchlight shining over and enveloping everyone in their light.
