American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 315 The Death of Ah Bin

Bruce Wayne stood on the platform, facing the audience below, and announced with great excitement.

"Dear guests, thank you for coming to my and Selena's eco-friendly wedding. This is a truly unique wedding, symbolizing my love for the environment. Only guests aged 18 and over are allowed to attend, and I hope you will all be here to witness an unforgettable wedding."

In the audience, Deadpool sat slumped listlessly, muttering to himself, "Who the hell came up with this idea, a green wedding? Does Bruce really want everyone to know he's a cuckold?"

A middle-aged man wearing glasses nearby chimed in, "That's right. I heard Bruce even plans to get Selena pregnant with someone else's child. I really don't know if he's truly in love or has lost his mind."

Deadpool rolled his eyes and continued to grumble, "Probably true love, otherwise who would want to raise someone else's kid? But this wedding was certainly bizarre; it'll probably become an urban legend in the future."

Bruce Wayne stood on the platform, enjoying the whispers and comments from the crowd below. Then, music began to play, and to the accompaniment of a beautiful melody, bridesmaid Harley Quinn led the bride, Selena Kyle, slowly onto the stage.

Harley Quinn wore a shimmering silver gown that clung to her figure, showcasing her curvaceous silhouette. Her signature blonde twin ponytails, dyed pink and blue at the ends, remained edgy, complementing her unique makeup and vibrant red lipstick, making her look both playful and sexy. Her smile was mischievous, her eyes sparkling with a hint of teasing and energy.

Selena Kyle wore a pristine white wedding dress adorned with countless tiny pearls and sparkling crystals, shimmering softly in the sunlight. Her long hair flowed smoothly over her shoulders, her makeup was exquisite and elegant, and her eyes held a gentle light. Her wedding dress accentuated her graceful figure, the skirt swaying lightly, making her appear like a fairy.

Deadpool, watching from the audience, stared wide-eyed, muttering to himself, "Damn, those two chicks are absolutely gorgeous. Bin's got the luck of his life."

Bruce Wayne stood on the stage, smiling as he raised the microphone: "Distinguished guests, please give a warm round of applause to welcome Selena's assistant and lover—Bin!"

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience, and all eyes turned to the person about to go on stage.

Xiao Xian, dressed in a well-tailored black suit, walked gracefully onto the stage with a confident smile. His steady steps and elegant demeanor, coupled with his handsome appearance, drew admiring glances from many girls in the audience. The fact that he resembled Xiao Xian, in particular, caused many girls to excitedly swoon.

Deadpool felt a pang of jealousy seeing the women around him staring at him with such adoration. Vanessa, too, was always swooning over Xiao Xian on TV; if she met this Ah Bin, she might end up like Selena, planting trees on her head.

On stage, Xiao Xian walked over to Bruce and Selena, picked up the microphone, and said with a smile:

"Distinguished guests, it is a great honor for me to attend Selena and Bruce's wedding as Ms. Selena's lover, and I am also very grateful for Mr. Bruce's magnanimity. Most people wouldn't want such a beautiful wife like Selena to cheat on them."

Upon hearing this, Bruce quickly waved his hand and said, "Mr. Bin, you're too kind. I should be thanking you. It's because of you that Selena has been able to give me the happiness and satisfaction I couldn't provide."

Overhearing their conversation, Deadpool in the audience couldn't help but cover his forehead and mutter, "You fucking have to be kidding me, this dialogue..."

At the same time, Deadpool couldn't help but picture Binn and his wife Vanessa together in his mind. To his surprise, he found that while he was angry, he was also a little excited and thrilled.

He shook his head, trying to clear his mind of the strange thoughts, and muttered in shock, "Damn, cuckoldry is contagious?"

The audience members around Deadpool looked on with curiosity when they heard him talking to himself, but Deadpool didn't care and continued to watch Bruce, Selena and Xiao Xian on the stage, his mind filled with complicated feelings.

Xiao Xian smiled and said to the guests below the stage, "Today is a special day. Thank you all for coming and witnessing this. I hope we can all enjoy this special wedding and share this joy together."

Xiao Xian stood on the platform, microphone in hand, his gaze sweeping back and forth between Bruce and Selena. His voice was solemn and clear: "Mr. Bruce Wayne, are you willing to become Ms. Selena's husband, even if she has cheated on you with me and calls me 'master,' will you remain devoted to her and not be with any other woman?"

Bruce's eyes were filled with excitement and determination, and he answered without hesitation, "I do."

Xiao Xian nodded, turned to Selena, and asked, "Ms. Selena Kyle, are you willing to become Bruce's wife, even if Bruce is an environmentalist and you won't have marital relations?"

Selena chuckled, giving Bruce a seductive look before turning to Xiao Xian in a sweet, coquettish voice, "I'm willing! Even if Bruce becomes a eunuch, it doesn't matter, I have you, that's enough."

The guests were astonished by the scene. Although they were prepared, they really did not expect the wedding to be so abstract.

After listening to their answers, Xiao Xian nodded in satisfaction and said, "In that case, according to tradition, the next step is the gift exchange."

Bruce took a deep breath, knelt on one knee, and pulled a small, exquisite box from his pocket containing a diamond ring set with a huge diamond. He carefully took the ring out and placed it on Selena's ring finger.

Selena enjoyed Bruce putting the ring on her finger, then turned to Harley Quinn and winked at her. Harley Quinn understood, took a beautiful box from her handbag, and handed it to Selena.

Selena took the box and slowly opened it, revealing a green hat inside. Everyone present gasped. Bruce had already explained the meaning of a green hat in the East on Twitter, but the audience truly didn't expect Selena to do something like this at her wedding.

All eyes in the audience were fixed on Bruce. Bruce remained calm, as if he had expected this.

"This green hat symbolizes our special relationship and our commitment," Selena said softly, her eyes filled with tenderness.

Bruce lowered his head, his eyes glistening with tears of emotion. "Thank you, Selena. I really love this gift."

Watching this scene from below the stage, Deadpool couldn't help but mutter, "You fucking have to be kidding me." Then, he shook his head and continued, "However, I must say, this wedding was truly unforgettable."

Bruce knelt on the stage, raised his head, looked at Xiao Xian, and said sincerely, "The gift exchange is complete. Now you may kiss my wife, Selena."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xian's face revealed a mocking smile. He looked down at Bruce kneeling on the ground and said slowly, "Thanks, brother."

After saying that, Xiao Xian lowered his head and gazed at Selena's beautiful face, then kissed her without any hesitation.

A few minutes later, Xiao Xian released Selena. He wiped the lipstick mark from his lips, his gaze burning as he stared intently at Bruce, and said:

"Did you know, I've prepared a special gift for your wedding."

Bruce swallowed hard and asked eagerly, "What gift is it?"

Xiao Xian smiled mysteriously and said, "Tonight, when Selena and I consummate our marriage, you can watch from the room."

Upon hearing this, Bruce immediately kowtowed repeatedly in gratitude, saying, "Thank you, thank you, Lord Abin!"

Among the audience, Deadpool felt increasingly strange. Although he was enjoying the gossip, he felt he couldn't keep watching. If he did, he might end up like Bruce, becoming strange.

Even now, Deadpool is a little reluctant to kill Binn and wants him and Vanessa to have a special story.

However, this modest desire is clearly no match for Deadpool's thirst for money; the price Tony Stark offered was exceptionally attractive.

"I also have a gift here, which I can give to Bin in front of everyone." Selena said to the excited Bruce, but she was interrupted by a gunshot halfway through her sentence.

Deadpool, gripping a pistol, pointed it at Xiao Xian with a furious expression, gritting his teeth as he said:

"Are you fucking kidding me?! Who came up with this plot?!"

Xiao Xian slowly collapsed to the ground, a bloody bullet hole appearing on his forehead. The entire audience erupted in uproar, screams filling the air.

Bruce Wayne stared at Xiao Xian lying in a pool of blood, feeling a heart-wrenching pain. Despair filled his face, tears welled in his eyes, and he finally collapsed to his knees, letting out a mournful cry: "No—!"

The security personnel at the scene reacted immediately and quickly gave chase to Deadpool. A group of bodyguards in black quickly surrounded Deadpool, who fired back while weaving through the chaos, skillfully evading the pursuers.

Bruce was stunned, unable to accept this fact for a long time. He muttered to himself, distraught, "No, this isn't real."

Selena knelt beside Xiao Xian's body, covering her mouth, tears streaming down her face. Her eyes were filled with sorrow and disbelief. Harley, standing beside her, couldn't help but twitch her lips at Selena's acting. She hadn't even used eye drops beforehand; how could Selena cry so instantly?

Bruce's heart churned violently. He knew he would never again see Xiao Xian and Selena playing cards together. That feeling, tinged with a touch of shame yet inexplicably excited, would likely become a permanent memory for him.

In Tony Stark's office at Stark Tower, a huge flat-panel screen was displaying a news report. The footage of Bin's murder was gruesome, and Tony Stark stared at the screen with a grim expression, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

"It's a pity, but there's nothing I can do. I was doing it for my family too," Tony sighed, and casually turned off the news feed.

Tony makes a video call to Pepper Potts to tell her the news and to prove that he won't let her play cards with Bin.

When the call connected, Pepper Potts' face appeared on the screen. She asked, puzzled, "Tony, what's up so late?"

Tony smiled and said, "Pepper, take a look at the TV. I've already proven that I wasn't planning on letting you play cards with Bin."

Little Chili frowned and asked suspiciously, "What did you do?"

Tony said mysteriously, "You'll see when you get there."

Little Chili was a little confused, but she still turned on the TV, which switched to the pay channel she had watched last time by default.

The channel was currently playing the latest 18 version of the Avengers movie. Black Widow, having rejected Tony's advances, turned and invited Xiao Xian to visit her room.

Pepper Potts, watching TV, asked Tony, puzzled, "Is this your proof?"

Tony paused, surprised that Pepper Potts TV defaulted to this kind of channel. He quickly explained, "No, no, no, I wasn't precise enough. You'll see when you switch to the news channel. Also, I'll be suing this film production company and the TV station for copyright infringement and insult."

Actually, Tony wasn't angry about it. Compared to Ah Bin, Xiao Xian was an even bigger version. The TV show's plot not only didn't annoy Tony, but actually made him quite happy. It would be even better if Black Widow were replaced by Pepper Potts.

But it is precisely because Tony is happy about this that it is all the more necessary for him to pretend to be angry.

Pepper switched to the news channel and saw a report on the breaking news from Bruce Wayne's eco-friendly wedding. Reporters detailed Deadpool's shooting of Bin at the wedding, the footage filled with chaos.

"Tony! What happened?!" Pepper exclaimed. "Bin... he's dead?"

Pepper frowned and said, "Tony, did you have Deadpool kill Bin? This is getting out of hand; it could trigger a full-scale war between Wayne Enterprises and Stark Industries."

Tony nodded helplessly and said frankly, "Yes, Pepper, this is my proof. I didn't really want you playing cards with Bin again. Don't worry, I've already sent someone to sink Deadpool in the Pacific Ocean. Bruce won't know it was me who ordered Deadpool to do it."

Pepper stared blankly at Tony, seemingly unsure how to respond.

Tony gave a wry smile. "Think about it, now you don't need to be angry anymore, right? I've already proven with my actions that I won't let you two have that kind of relationship. I was just looking at those videos out of curiosity."

Little Chili bit her lip, seemingly struggling internally for a long time, before softly speaking:

"Okay, Tony. I forgive you this time. To be honest, I've thought about this a lot these past few days. Everyone has their own hobbies. You were just looking at or watching videos; you didn't hurt anyone, so I shouldn't be too harsh on you."

Tony's eyes widened instantly upon hearing this: "Really? Pepper, are you serious? Can I watch it later?"

Chili rolled her eyes at him, saying in a complicated tone, "Of course it's true. Okay, don't get too excited. But speaking of which, your behavior this time was indeed a bit too much. Next time, you'd better think twice before you act."
