American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 174 Quentin
The lights in the casino were flashing alluringly. Many people in the VIP area were secretly staring at the most luxurious room inside. They were all very curious about how Xiao Xian would be punished by Maroni. The body of the person who had caused trouble in Maroni's casino last time had already sunk into the sea.

Suddenly, the door of the room moved, and everyone looked over with curiosity, hoping to see the miserable condition of Xiao Xian inside. However, to everyone's surprise, Maroni, who opened the door, looked fawning and tried to please Xiao Xian, while Xiao Xian behind him had his hands behind his back, looking like a leader inspecting something.

"What?" Everyone looked at Xiao Xian and Maroni in confusion. What was going on today?
"Where's that bunny girl? I asked her to exchange the chips for larger amounts and send them over. Why hasn't she sent them over yet?" Xiao Xian glanced around and suddenly remembered that his spoils tonight included not only Maroni's soul but also 30 million dollars in chips.

"I'll have someone send it over right away!" Maroni said quickly.

"No need, just transfer it into cash and transfer it to my account later." Xiao Xian shook his head and looked at the private rooms around him. Even across the room, Xiao Xian could feel the evil in them. It turned out that it was only the rich who played with flowers.

"These people's souls are good, they are all fallen." Xiao Xian touched his chin. Maybe he could make a formation to collect sins here? Collecting souls would deduct a lot of points from the world will. If he made some emotions and sins, the deduction would be less, right?
As for the characters in the plot, those with powerful souls are a minority after all. Most ordinary people cannot make their money back if they are pulled into the dimensional space for dozens or even hundreds of years. It would be better for them to just collect sins here.

After tinkering with it, Xiao Xian put the formation on the exchange list and asked Maroni to spend money to exchange it, and then collect sins for him. When the time comes, the world will deduct points, and the biggest share of the deduction will also be Maroni.

"Good girl, don't bother with the pure ones. I hate souls like that. The more sinful the better."

Xiao Xian told Maroni that actually more sins would be committed after a pure soul fell, but Xiao Xian believed that he still had a little bit of moral integrity. If he opened this door to Maroni, he might force good women into prostitution.

As for those good girls who smoke, have tattoos, drink, are locals, and go to casinos, that is none of Xiao Xian's business. Xiao Xian has some moral principles but not much, and he really has no sympathy for them.

"Okay, boss." Maroni nodded quickly. After seeing the various reward options in the list, especially the super power rewards such as immortality, rejuvenation, enhanced kidney ability, fire breathing, illusion, invulnerability, etc., Maroni knew that he had hit the jackpot.

Gang bosses are indeed powerful, but only the bosses themselves know the risks and sorrows behind them.

Especially in a place like Gotham, let alone Maroni, even Falcone couldn't guarantee that he wouldn't be shot in the head by someone one day, his family wouldn't be captured and tortured by his mortal enemy, or his subordinates would suddenly turn against him after receiving money.

You have to know that this is Gotham, a magical place where you might be killed by gang members for testing guns while walking. Betrayal, killing, and death are normal daily occurrences here. To put it bluntly, even Afghanistan, which is at war, is safer than Gotham.

After all, gang bosses are also mortals. They will die if they are shot, and they will grow old. They will feel sad when they see the end of other bosses. But once they embark on this path, it is not so easy to retreat. Once they retreat, they will be crushed to pieces.

More importantly, ambitious people like Maroni who have enjoyed the taste of power are unwilling to back down. Even the second-most powerful gang boss who is bullied is much stronger than ordinary people or even ordinary wealthy people.

Of course, it would be better if we can go further. In the past, Maroni had no choice. Gotham was Bruce Wayne's territory. In the Black Zone, Wayne Group's black glove Falcone also firmly suppressed Maroni. If Falcone was not worried that Bruce Wayne would be afraid of him after he dominated the Black Zone, he might have killed Maroni long ago.

But now with the help of a devil like Xiao Xian, Maroni saw hope of turning things around. Not to mention Falcone, even Bruce Wayne's position as the King of Gotham, Maroni felt that he had hope of snatching it away, or even becoming immortal and becoming the eternal king of the gang.

As for the price of immortality, it is only a few million souls. Maroni thinks it is not a big deal, as there are eight billion people in the world.

"By the way, do you have an agency, a film and television company, or something like that?" Xiao Xian looked at Maroni and said, "I want to have some fun in the human world."

"Yes, of course there is. It's an important channel for money laundering. Even if there isn't, I have to set one up quickly so that you can have fun." Maroni said quickly. He hadn't flattered anyone for a long time, so he was a little stiff in flattery.

"Okay, lend it to me for fun." Xiao Xian nodded.

Under the neon lights, the music in the bar roared, the rhythm was so fast that it made people's heart beat faster. Sophie's good friend Lana walked through the crowd and came to Lana's side.

Lana leaned close to Sophie's ear, her voice filled with excitement and mystery: "Haven't you always wanted to enter the entertainment industry? Your luck has come tonight. I'm going to take you to meet a real big shot, a big shot in the entertainment industry."

"Really?! Take me to meet them." Sophie said excitedly. When she was talking to the Joker before, she also came into contact with some people from the entertainment industry, but unfortunately the Joker was a super villain and did not have a high status in the entertainment industry, so she did not make a successful debut.

At least that's what Sophie thought. It certainly couldn't be that her appearance didn't meet the requirements. She was a famous beauty in the community. It was not an exaggeration to call her a black pearl. She had never lacked suitors since she was a child. For example, she rejected a shameless suitor yesterday. Those top white beauty stars were far inferior to her.

Following her bestie to a private room, Sophie followed him in, and was greeted by smoke and soft lights. Her eyes were quickly attracted by a familiar face - Xiao Xian. He had tried to strike up a conversation with Sophie yesterday, but Sophie didn't buy it and asked the bodyguard to drive him away. When Sophie saw Xiao Xian, her first reaction was to turn around and leave.

However, next to Xiao Xian sat a man who was also very familiar to Sophie. He was lazily leaning on the sofa, with a cigarette in his hand. He was the famous director Quentin Tarantino, a super director who had won many awards. Sophie's eyes widened. She had never thought that she would meet such a legendary figure in such an occasion.

Sophie took a deep breath and decided to stay. If Quentin appreciated her, she might have a chance to win an Oscar. Sophie walked towards the two of them and greeted Quentin with a smile:
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Quentin. I'm Sophie, the Joker's ex-girlfriend."
