The Great Demon Lord of the American Comics World

Chapter 82, Spider-Woman Falls into the Claws of Evil and Cannot Escape
I do not know how long it has been.

Gwen lay on her side with her back to Li Xingzhou, her petite body curled up in his arms like a kitten. Her snow-white skin was flushed with a faint blush, and fine beads of sweat glistened on her forehead and the tip of her nose. Her eyes were hazy and unfocused, as if she was still immersed in the previous intoxication.

Suddenly, a cell phone rang, startling Gwen awake. She reached for the phone on the bedside table and saw it was her father calling. She was immediately flustered.

She sat up, took a few deep breaths, and after adjusting herself, answered the phone.

"Gwen, do I need to remind you what time it is?"

“I’m sorry, Father, I… I ran into some high school classmates, good friends who play in my band. We went to an amusement park, had dinner together, and then went to see a movie…”

"So you're on a date? With him or her?"

"Uh, I..."

Just as Gwen was about to explain, Li Xingzhou suddenly hugged her from behind, one hand pressing on her lower abdomen, the other hand reaching under her ribs to grasp her soft, plump breasts.

Gwen was startled and her breathing quickened. She quickly raised her hand to stop his mischievous hand.

Gwen's father, the New York City Police Commissioner, a veteran of decades, immediately sensed something was wrong from Gwen's unusual breathing rhythm.

The old man was silent for a moment, then coughed twice and said:
"Anyway... you must be home before midnight. Also... be careful."

My daughter has graduated from high school and will be going to college soon.

In a socially open metropolis like New York, a girl this age who hasn't been on a date is practically a rare breed.

Although Gwen's father had always been disciplined and strict, he knew he couldn't just suppress his daughter, otherwise it would easily provoke her rebellious nature, and once she went to college, she would be impossible to manage.

So the old man only gave a vague reminder to "be careful" before hanging up the phone.

Gwen put down the phone, turned and glared at Li Xingzhou:
"You bastard, how dare you provoke me while I was talking to my father on the phone... Looks like I was too lenient with you before!"

Li Xingzhou raised an eyebrow and said with a smile:

"So, what do you want?"

Gwen gritted her teeth:

"I'll let you experience the power of Spider-Woman's superhuman physique!"

After saying that, she grabbed Li Xingzhou's shoulders with both hands, knocked him down, and then straddled him in a domineering manner.

It must be admitted that Spider-Woman's superhuman physique is indeed very impressive.

That seemingly soft and fragile, slender waist contained a terrifying strength. Those snow-white, rounded, and plump thighs were also incredibly powerful, with astonishing endurance and recovery ability.

Even though Li Xingzhou had completely refined the Abomination's life force that he hadn't had time to refine during the previous battle during his previous exercise, and his physique had made a rapid leap forward, he was still far inferior to Spider-Woman, who could lift 20 tons.

However, Li Xingzhou was no barbarian who relied solely on his physique.

He was a great demon master who was proficient in all kinds of demonic skills. In the demonic path, certain skills were well-known traditional arts, and even a very prosperous and thriving school of thought.

With Li Xingzhou's skill level, how could Gwen, who had just turned from a girl into a woman and had basically no skills and could only rely on her physical strength to fight and charge, possibly be his opponent?
She launched a fierce attack, but only lasted for less than two minutes before she was defeated. Her powerful physique was useless, and even her mind became confused and her head was almost blank. She could only let Li Xingzhou do as he pleased.

Of course, Spider-Woman is still very mentally resilient.

After the contest ended, and she recovered once again from the near-fainting disorientation, she struggled to get up and dress, defiantly swearing an oath to Li Xingzhou:

"Next time, I'll definitely win next time!"

As she spoke, Gwen noticed the large wet stain on the bed sheet, her cheeks flushed, and her momentum faltered. Without waiting for Li Xingzhou's response, she tossed her short, golden hair, ran to the window, opened it, and jumped out.

Watching her still agile movements, Li Xingzhou couldn't help but admire her physique.

Just moments ago, I was so weak I felt like I'd melted into water, unable to even move a single toe, but now I'm full of energy again...

Luckily, he was very skilled, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to subdue her.

Standing by the window, watching Gwen leap and disappear into the night, Li Xingzhou stretched contentedly, glanced back at the wet sheets that were no longer safe to sleep on, shook his head helplessly, and took matters into his own hands to change the sheets and blankets.

The next morning.

Just as Li Xingzhou had inhaled and exhaled a wisp of the morning sun's purple aura to cleanse his spirit, and was about to try out a certain ability he had taken from Abomination, he received a call from Emma.

"Boss, have you seen the news?"

"No. What's wrong?"

"You're famous! Go watch TV..."

Li Xingzhou didn't hang up the phone. While still talking to Emma, ​​he went to the living room, turned on the TV, and saw that the morning news channel was broadcasting footage of the battle in Harlem last night.

Judging from the perspective, this footage should have been taken by the two media helicopters that were in the sky last night.

In the small screen at the bottom right, the news anchor is speaking animatedly:

"A monster resembling the Hulk wreaked havoc in Harlem, causing hundreds of millions of dollars in property damage and injuring or killing hundreds of innocent people. Fortunately, Spider-Woman appeared in time and restrained the monster, preventing it from causing even greater destruction and casualties."

"But from the footage, we can see that even Spider-Woman was no match for that giant monster; she was even in danger at one point. Fortunately, a new superhero appeared at that moment..."

"The people of New York are fortunate, for New York is the world's most prosperous metropolis, a gathering place for countless riches and dreams. The people of New York are also unfortunate, for the metropolis has attracted countless villains and monsters. Fortunately, heroes have also gathered here, doing their utmost to protect the people... Attention, a new hero has arrived!"

Accompanied by the host's enthusiastic introduction, a superhero wearing a Guan Gong mask and with a pair of blood-flame wings fluttering behind him descended from the sky, waving his hand to unleash a long sword-shaped crimson light that repelled the Abomination that was suppressing Spider-Woman.

What followed was a fierce battle where Spider-Woman teamed up with the new hero to utterly crush Abomination.

The news anchor exclaimed excitedly:

"Look, a new superhero has appeared in New York! He's so powerful, capable of unleashing tremendous energy waves, and he has a pair of magnificent and majestic fiery wings... We all agree that the new hero should be called 'Red Dragon,' because his wings resemble those of a legendary dragon and are engulfed in blood-red flames. The title 'Red Dragon' is most fitting..."

Red Dragon?

Li Xingzhou curled his lip speechlessly. This title is utterly lame, isn't it?
Just then, Emma's voice came through the phone again:
"Boss, congratulations! You're now a well-known superhero in all of New York. There are tons of posts and videos about you online..."

"I have absolutely no interest in becoming famous."

Li Xingzhou spoke casually, picked up his tablet, and searched for the keywords "Harlem monster, new superhero," quickly finding a large number of results.

Clicking into a post on an online forum, you'll see a battle video in the title, which was filmed by the netizen who posted the title using their mobile phone in an apartment building not far from the battlefield.

Because it was nighttime, the image was a bit blurry, but Li Xingzhou's wings emitted their own firelight, illuminating his figure relatively clearly and making him the brightest star in the video.

Netizens are also having a lively discussion about the new hero in the comments section.

"Wow, the new hero is amazing! Not only are his fiery wings magnificent and majestic, but his figure is also incredible..."

"Yes, a standard male model's physique [drooling emoji]."

"Are you fangirls only focused on the new hero's appearance? Didn't you notice his heroic figure in battle?" "I'm more interested in his mask. Where have I seen that mask before? It looks like a theatrical mask from some mysterious Eastern country?"

An Indian netizen commented: "That's right, it's an Indian theatrical mask, an abstract mask of one of Brahma's incarnations!"

A Korean-American netizen commented: "Hehe, those Indians are really clueless. That's clearly the Peking Opera mask from my great Republic of Korea! It's clearly the mask of Guan Yu, the ancient hero of my great Korea!"

A Japanese netizen commented: "The Koreans are being shameless again. Guan Yu was the God of War during the Three Kingdoms period of China! Study history properly, you idiots! Sorry, I forgot you abandoned Chinese characters and can no longer understand your own country's ancient history books!"

A Korean netizen replied: "What right do these little devils have to be so arrogant? They should kneel down under the Taegeuk flag and apologize for their war crimes!"

Seeing the post gradually veer off-topic into a battle thread, Li Xingzhou shook his head speechlessly and clicked on another short video.

The comments under the short video were much more normal, with most netizens discussing the new hero's abilities.

"Those red light waves that look like long swords, and those red flames that look like shooting stars, they must both be magic, right?"

"Maybe it's magic, maybe it's superpowers. Have you noticed that those flames look small, but they're incredibly powerful? A few of those missed flames even burned through concrete and steel bars."

"So that big monster is even more powerful? It was covered in red flames, but it just yelled and screamed."

"Yes, that giant monster, like the Hulk, is an unkillable super monster. Even with Spider-Woman and the new hero teaming up, they could only barely suppress it, not inflict a truly fatal blow. In the end, the Hulk had to come to the rescue. Therefore, the Hulk is the strongest!"

"That's right, Hulk is the strongest!"

"But Hulk is too ugly. Putting aside the new hero's appearance, at least he has a great physique."

"Yes, Spider Woman's figure is also incredibly hot..."

"Don't get off topic, guys. The morning news gave the new hero a title; they call him 'Red Dragon.'"

"Red Dragon? That's an awful title..."

"Yes, dragons are evil creatures, how can you use them to name a superhero?"

"You can't say that, can you? There are kind dragons too."

"But in almost all fantasy stories, the 'red dragon' is an evil dragon, a major villain."

“Did you notice the mask on his face? It looks like…”

"That's right, it's an Indian theatrical mask, an abstract mask of one of the incarnations of Brahma, the god of destruction!"

"..."

Li Xingzhou shook his head speechlessly again and switched to a different short video.

In the comments section of this short video, someone raised a question:
"Why didn't Iron Man come to the rescue last night?"

"I know, Ironman went to Monaco to participate in the race..."

"That playboy is such a good-for-nothing..."

"Where is Homelander? Where is he? Doesn't he have super hearing and be able to monitor everything happening in New York at any time? He can also fly at supersonic speeds, so why didn't he get to the battlefield?"

"Homelander and Queen Maeve conducted a maritime rescue operation off the coast of New York last night... Okay, I am indeed a Vought International employee, but I'm telling the truth... I even have the rescue video of Homelander and Queen Maeve here..."

Li Xingzhou chuckled again. He was sure that Azu had probably chickened out last night—not that Azu couldn't fight a tough battle, but that he had a problem with his mentality and was extremely afraid of failure. What if he failed to win and made the news? Wouldn't that be a huge loss of face for Azu? He might even lose popularity and fans?
Ah Zu's biggest fear is losing fans, so he's extremely careful in choosing his opponents, rarely fighting a battle he's not confident of winning. And with such powerful performance from Zang E, Ah Zu would definitely feel intimidated.

As for the so-called maritime rescue video, it is highly likely that it was fabricated by the public relations department of Vought International to provide an excuse for Azu.

After all, how could Ah Zu possibly save people?
After scrolling through my phone for about ten minutes, occasionally chatting with Emma, ​​Gwen called again.

"Congratulations, you've become a superhero in the public eye."

Li Xingzhou said with a smile:

"However, I only wanted to help you last night, not to become famous or a superhero—you know, I'm just a witcher for fun. By the way, did your father scold you when you got home last night?"

"No. I think he may have realized that I am no longer a little girl."

"So, from now on, the curfew can be postponed to midnight?"

"It's not that easy. At breakfast, he asked me who I was dating and told me to bring my date home to meet him sometime..."

“I wouldn’t mind visiting your home and meeting your father.”

"Come on, I don't want you to meet my father. Otherwise, if he sees you with another woman one day after he meets you, he might get so angry that he'll pull out a gun on the spot."

"I think you can trust me in this regard."

"You think I'll stop being a playboy?"

"Trust me, I will never be caught by your father."

"You damn playboy, can't you say something nice? By the way, how's your secretary? Last night you took me to your house... to heal my wounds, and it seems you left her behind."

"It's okay, she took a taxi home by herself after the fight was over."

"Introduce me to her sometime. After all, we were comrades who fought monsters together, even though I didn't see her at all."

"Then come to my house now? My secretary is just coming to pick me up to go to the company."

"Now? Emmm..."

Gwen originally wanted to be a little haughty and refuse him, and the excuse was easy to come up with—you're going to the company, what am I doing here?
But just as she was about to refuse, she suddenly changed her mind.

To be honest, although she and he had already had the most intimate relationship, she didn't actually know much about him.

Aside from knowing that he also attends Imperial University, is a witcher and superhero with superpowers who works out of interest, runs a bar inherited from his father, and has a fairly legitimate business relationship with the villain Kingpin, there's not much else known about him.

Especially since we don't know which women that playboy is seeing...

It seems necessary to investigate this thoroughly to avoid any misunderstandings or conflicts in the future.
anyway……

Why should I care so much about a playboy?

Don't I despise playboys like Tony Stark the most?
How did I become so infatuated with him, as if I were blinded by lust?
The world is so big, and there are so many handsome men, why is it only him? Although he is a bastard who deserves to go to hell, he is not a real devil. How could he possibly steal my soul?

So it's all my fault for being so weak! I knew he was a playboy, but I still couldn't refuse him!

Gwen, you need to wake up! You can't keep going like this! There's no future with playboys!

Gwen mentally berated herself for a moment, then accepted his invitation:
"Okay, I'll be right there."

Please vote for me!
