American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 13 I wanted to refuse

The reason Xiao Xian changed it to a loan is not because he likes to repay money and doesn't want to get something for free, but because the cost of borrowing is much lower than the cost of asking for money back. Moreover, borrowing money does not mean that I intend to repay it.

Given someone like Tomie, let alone two years, it's uncertain whether she'll be alive or dead in two months. Although Tomie herself will most likely be fine, and a whole bunch of new Tomies will emerge, it's certain that this Tomie with this identity will die on a societal level.

Now that Tomie, who held this identity, is dead, Xiao Xian naturally has no need to repay the money.

Two years from now, if Xiao Xian's strength improves quickly enough, even without considering income from other means, the commission and endorsement fees from his superhero career alone will be enough to make him rich. He won't care about paying them back then.

After hearing Xiao Xian's suggestion, Fu Jiang looked Xiao Xian up and down a few times, thought for a moment, and realized that such an interesting prey was indeed worth spending time playing with him little by little. As for money, Fu Jiang was not short of money. Before, a certain boss knelt on the ground and gave her all his property with tears in his eyes, just to beg her not to leave.

Of course, accepting doesn't mean I agree. Tomie's inequality was also used quite well. In the end, when she sat in the passenger seat of her new prey and watched the penniless boss jump off the building to commit suicide, she was quite pleased.

"Okay, but I have one more request. Living alone is so lonely, especially after seeing Daniel die in front of me. It scared me to death. I want to live with my brother so I won't be so scared." Tomie said, holding Xiao Xian's hand, looking like a weak little girl.

If Xiao Xian hadn't witnessed Tomie's true form when Daniel fell to his death, he would have found it hard to imagine that the seemingly frail Tomie was actually the culprit behind Daniel's demise.

"This..." Xiao Xian hesitated a bit. Tomie was a synonym for trouble, with all sorts of suitors, other Tomie, and superheroes who might be attracted to her.

"Twenty million dollars. If you agree, I'll lend you twenty million as start-up capital, and I won't charge you interest." Tomie offered her price. On one hand, she didn't care about the money, and on the other hand, once Xiao Xian was at her feet, any amount of money would be used to support her anyway.

"Twenty million dollars?!" Xiao Xian was shocked. That's almost 1.5 million RMB. He knew Tomie was rich, but he didn't expect her to be this rich.

Thinking about it carefully, I have a system on me, and trouble is just another word for tasks. Maybe a task will pop up, and for the sake of money, it's not unacceptable.

"Ahem~ The kind where you pay first?" After thinking for a moment, Xiao Xian asked tentatively.

"Here you go." Pulling her hand away, Tomie took a pen from her bag, quickly scribbled on the check, and handed it to Xiao Xian. "Can I stay here now?"

"Of course, do you want me to clean your room? Which room do you like? Except for mine, no, including mine, you can have any room you want. I'll vacate and clean it for you right away." Xiao Xian took the check and said immediately. Since the check hadn't been cashed yet, he still had to be polite.

In Xiao Xian's eyes now, this wasn't Tomie at all; this was clearly a sugar daddy.

Twenty million dollars. Not to mention letting Tomie move in, we could even have Xiao Xian act out a scene with Tomie where he kills her and then gets killed himself. Anyway, Xiao Xian now has super regeneration like Tomie, so being killed isn't a big deal.

"."

Seeing Xiao Xian's attitude completely change, Tomie felt that her charm was not as high as Qian's in front of this person? But Tomie's sense of defeat did not last long. Instead, it ignited her fighting spirit. For Tomie, the more this happened, the more interesting it was!

"No need, I can clean up myself. You just moved in and haven't cleaned yet, have you? Guys are so carefree. Let me help you clean." Before the prey takes the bait, Tomie's attitude will be very good. Of course, the better the attitude before the prey takes the bait, the worse the attitude will be after the prey takes the bait.

"I'm going out for a bit," Xiao Xian said, holding the check Tomie had given him, wanting to get the money first.

"Go ahead, what would you like to eat for lunch? I'll make it for you," Tomie said with a friendly smile.

"I'm on a diet, I only eat one apple a day, and I've already finished today's." Xiao Xian said directly. Even if he hadn't experimented with not eating, Xiao Xian didn't really want to eat anything from Tomie. Who knew if Tomie's flesh and blood would be mixed in?

The manga features Tomie-branded liquor, and similar items include Tomie-branded wigs. Although Xiao Xian, with his super regeneration ability, can avoid the influence of Tomie cells by directly abandoning this body, it's still best to avoid such things as much as possible.

"Take my car. It'll make you look more respectable. Men in business need to maintain appearances when they're out in public." Tomie tossed the Maybach keys to Xiao Xian. "I also have a Porsche. Have someone drive it over too. You can drive whichever one you want from now on."

"Thank you, Sister Tomie." Xiao Xian took the car keys and said happily. Although he now had 20 million dollars, he figured he might as well drive the free luxury car.

Amid the shocked gazes of the residents, Xiao Xian did not drive his secondhand Volkswagen, but instead drove his Maybach out of the community.

"I remember this new tenant used to drive a used Volkswagen? And..." a male resident said, looking at the car's retreating figure in disbelief.

"And the person who drove this car earlier was that incredibly beautiful woman." His companion finished the sentence for him, his eyes filled with envy.

After cashing the check at the bank and withdrawing 500,000 yuan in cash for future use, Xiao Xian drove his Maybach back downstairs and happened to run into Aunt Mei, who was carrying groceries.

"Hi~ We meet again. Is this your car?" Aunt Mei looked at Xiao Xian getting out of the Maybach and was very shocked. How could someone who could afford such a luxury car live in her community, and even rent a place?

"It's a friend's, can I borrow it?" Xiao Xian shrugged and said honestly, and the two went upstairs together.

"I see." Aunt Mei glanced at Xiao Xian a few times after hearing this. Although he looked ordinary except for his good looks, Xiao Xian must have a strong network of connections since he had friends who could afford Maybachs. After getting to know him better, she might be able to help Peter find a reliable job after he graduated from university.

"Shall we have lunch together? I bought a lot of ingredients, come and try my cooking." With that in mind, Aunt Mei took the initiative to speak.

"No, I'm on a diet lately. By the way, did you drink the bottle of wine I gave you during my last visit? How did it taste?" Xiao Xian politely declined, and brought up the bottle of wine from last time. Xiao Xian was 90% sure that Peter hadn't given that bottle of wine to Aunt Mei at all, and even if he had, he hadn't mentioned that he was the one who gave it to her.

"Wine?" Aunt Mei looked bewildered. When did Xiao Xian visit her? And even bring a bottle of wine?

"Yes, when I visited your house last time, but you didn't seem to be there. Your nephew Peter opened the door for me, and I gave him the wine." Xiao Xian looked surprised and said, "He didn't tell you?"

"Oh, I told you, I told you. I've been staying up late a lot lately, so my memory isn't very good. As for that bottle of wine, I drank it. It tasted really good, really good, haha."

Upon hearing Xiao Xian's words, Aunt Mei immediately realized that when she asked Peter who came while she was taking a bath last time, Peter said that when he was selling insurance, it was most likely not the insurance salesman who came, but Xiao Xian.

But to avoid Peter leaving a bad impression on Xiao Xian, Aunt Mei still smiled and said she would drink it. Of course, she had already made up her mind to scold Peter when he came back.
