American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 38 Revenge

Xiao Xian opened the door, tossed Aunt Mei onto the sofa, and was about to leave when Aunt Mei grabbed his hand, blushing as she said...

"I'm feeling a bit weak, could you help me get back to my room?"

"You're so weak, yet you're still gripping my hand so tightly?" Xiao Xian glanced at Aunt Mei's hand gripping his, then at Aunt Mei's radiant face.

"Even if something happens between us, I would never give false testimony for Peter."

"I know, I'm just a little lonely. Peter's situation makes me feel helpless. I hope to have someone to rely on, a shoulder to lean on." Aunt Mei's already red face turned even redder after Xiao Xian pointed out her implication so clearly. She denied the latter, but did not refute the former.

"I have no intention of dating or getting married." Xiao Xian leaned back, his lips twitching. If someone wanted to be with him and have feelings for him, that would be even more outrageous than forgiving Peter.

"I didn't mean that, don't worry. I just wanted someone to comfort me at this time." Holding Xiao Xian's hand tightly, Aunt Mei looked at Xiao Xian with a face as beautiful as a peach blossom.

"Ah ha~" Xiao Xian looked at Aunt Mei and confirmed that she was not joking. This super charm was indeed different.

In the morning, Aunt Mei sent Xiao Xian a message saying that we were impossible, and that it was all just a dream and nothing had happened. But when she came back in the afternoon, she took the initiative like this.

Xiao Xian wasn't opposed to having a friendly match with Aunt Mei, but at this moment, he was more interested in just how outrageous this super charm really was.

"Offering comfort is fine, but you have to agree to one condition."

"What are the conditions?" Aunt Mei asked immediately, finding Xiao Xian increasingly charming.

"As a witness, testify in court about Peter Parker drugging you," Xiao Xian said, looking into Aunt Mei's eyes.

"What?!" Aunt Mei, who had originally planned to agree without hesitation, was stunned upon hearing this. She looked at Xiao Xian and said, "But Peter's sentence is definitely long enough. What's the point of adding another crime?"

"That was for revenge, of course. He tried to steal my boyfriend, stabbed me in the heart, and then blew my head off during the chase. If it weren't for my strong healing ability, the funeral home would have a hard time piecing together my body."

Xiao Xian snorted coldly and said, "What could be a more interesting revenge than taking Aunt May to court to identify Peter's crimes?"

Xiao Xianke never boasted of his magnanimity; he believed in distinguishing between gratitude and resentment, repaying kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge.

"But I'm his last remaining family member. If I testify in court, what a blow that would be to Peter!" Aunt May looked at Xiao Xian and pleaded, "Please, could you ask for something else? I'll grant you whatever you want."

"Otherwise, how can it be called malicious retaliation?" Xiao Xian looked at Aunt Mei without any mercy, and pulled away Aunt Mei's hand, saying, "If you don't agree, then forget it."

"Wait! Don't go." Watching Xiao Xian's departing figure, as Xiao Xian turned the doorknob, Aunt Mei finally gritted her teeth and said, "I can go to give a testimony, report the case to the police station, and provide evidence, but I can't testify in court. I can't face Peter directly in court."

"My demands are very clear, and there is no room for negotiation."

Shaking his head, Xiao Xian refused and left. This time, Aunt Mei did not try to stop him. It seems that although the effect of super charm is strong, a strong individual will is still enough to resist it.

Of course, the two sides haven't been in contact for very long yet. Xiao Xian doesn't know if things will change if the contact time increases.

We can infer the strength of Super Charisma from how long May can hold out.

"Honey~ you're back. What's that on your face???" Seeing Xiao Xian return home, Tomie happily came over to greet him, but when she saw the tear stains on Xiao Xian's eyes, Tomie was completely stunned.

In the news, Tomie saw a reporter say that Xiao Xian has the superpower of regeneration, and now he has this beauty mark under his eye. Tomie also felt a strong charm from Xiao Xian, and even she couldn't help but be moved.

Super regeneration plus super charm, plus a beauty mark under her eye. If Tomie hadn't sensed no urge to kill from Xiao Xian at this moment, and if all Tomie looked similar and were girls, Tomie would have thought she had met another Tomie.

Nevertheless, Tomie carefully sensed that she did not perceive the murderous intent and jealousy unique to those of her kind from Xiao Xian, which put her at ease slightly.

"I don't know. Have you seen the news? My head was blown apart by Peter and then grew back like this. Could it be that you infected me?"

Xiao Xian, with a bewildered expression as if he didn't know what was going on, looked at the tear stains at the corners of Tomie's eyes and said jokingly, "Our tear stains look exactly the same, don't you think? Are you contagious?"

"How could that be? I'm just an ordinary person, honey, you're so annoying. But you, you're a superpowered person, a superhero? I had no idea!"

Upon hearing this, Tomie fell into self-doubt. Could it be that some of her cells or DNA had simply mixed into Xiao Xian's regeneration process, causing Xiao Xian to mutate?

Despite living a long time, Tomie doesn't really know much about herself. Most of the time, she just uses her super regeneration, super charm, and super contagiousness to bully ordinary people for fun. She has no interest or need to develop her superpowers.

Tomie only knew that she had super regeneration abilities, and that high temperatures could deactivate her own cells and allow her cells to invade other people's bodies. As for how she achieved these abilities or what their source was, Tomie had absolutely no idea.

In the past, Tomie, at least, knew that if an ordinary person, or even a superhuman, were to be infiltrated by Tomie's cells, their entire body would eventually be replaced by Tomie's cells, and they would eventually be parasitized and devoured.

However, Tomie has never tried parasitizing someone with super regeneration. If the other party's cells can also regenerate wildly and cannot be replaced, Tomie doesn't know what will happen. Perhaps a situation like Xiao Xian, who has some of Tomie's characteristics but is not Tomie, will appear.

"Oh, right, that Spider-Man, Peter Parker, came to see me today. He punched through the sofa and tried to force me to be with him, but I refused, saying I'd be his in life and his in death. Luckily, he didn't do anything to me in the end. It scared me to death, boohoo~ I was so scared, I almost lost my first time to someone else."

The more Tomie thought about it, the more she felt that Xiao Xian's situation was related to her. Afraid that Xiao Xian would overthink things, she quickly changed the subject and, with tears in her eyes, tried to bury herself in Xiao Xian's arms.

"Really? Is that true?"

He pressed his hand against Tomie's forehead to prevent her from snuggling into his arms. Upon hearing this, Xiao Xian raised an eyebrow. If he were in court with Aunt Mei on his left and Tomie on his right, and they were all pointing out Peter's crimes, wouldn't that scene make Peter despair?

I wonder if Peter has a crush on Mary Jane? And if Mary Jane were to be involved, what a scene that would be!

"Of course it's true." Tomie's eyes were brimming with tears, looking like a fragile girl who had been wronged. "It was super scary, but thankfully I refused even at the cost of my life. That was the most precious thing I specially saved for you."
