American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 52 Not Giving Face?

"You don't seem to think much of my organization?" The White Queen said angrily. Although Xiao Xian was right, she had not received any special agent training and had not thought of that matter, the White Queen was still unhappy to hear Xiao Xian say it.

"Strictly speaking, you're the villains, an organization that wants mutants to rise above everyone else. If I really thought you had a chance of success, would I cooperate with you?" Xiao Xian spread his hands.

"I don't think this is a bad thing for you. If everyone thought like me that you wouldn't amount to anything, you wouldn't be wanted by the police and living a precarious life like this."

Although Xiao Xian wasn't lying, his words still sounded incredibly hurtful. The White Queen felt it again: lies don't hurt, but the truth is the sharpest knife.

With a disgruntled snort, the White Queen

"Then you just watch, we'll definitely succeed."

"Perhaps, but I don't think this difference will affect our cooperation, right?" Xiao Xian said with a smile.

"Of course." Queen Bai nodded. Although Xiao Xian's behavior of not being optimistic about the future prospects of his partner was indeed infuriating, it did not affect the cooperation.

"Speaking of which, if you want to sow discord between the Normans, perhaps it would be better to let Norman know Mary Jane's true nature first, and then let Harry and Mary Jane continue their conversation," Xiao Xian suggested. "Could telepathy amplify Harry Osborn's feelings for Mary Jane?"

"Of course you can, otherwise why do you think Harry would suddenly change his mind and fall for this Cinderella?"

The White Queen smiled confidently, saying that with such powerful superpowers, she didn't need to go through the trouble of learning useless things like ordinary people. She could use that time to drink red wine, pick out jewelry, and develop her abilities.

Of course, she also exaggerated her abilities. At this moment, she couldn't actually make Harry fall in love with Mary Jane for no reason. All she could do was amplify the feelings that Harry already had for Mary Jane.

"Even if Harry knows Mary Jane cheated on him, it's still the same?" Xiao Xian confirmed. Is that even possible? It seems the White Queen's telepathic abilities are stronger than he thought.

"I can make Harry believe that Mary Jane didn't actually cheat on him," the White Queen replied after a moment's hesitation.

"Won't Norman Osborn notice something amiss?" Xiao Xian dismissed the idea. Norman Osborn was a cunning old fox; if he noticed his son's abnormality, he might also notice something amiss with himself. "White Queen, aren't you afraid of things going wrong?"

"Well, that probably won't work. I can't go against the other person's strong wishes. But if Harry can't let it go and is willing to forgive, I can amplify it," the White Queen said awkwardly.

"We'll see when the time comes, and act accordingly."

Xiao Xian nodded in agreement, forcing himself not to think too much and to think about it later. In his current state, Xiao Xian vaguely sensed a method that could help him reach the top of Osborn, but he couldn't think about it in his mind. Once he did, he would reveal the method to the White Queen.

"You don't seem to want to show me too much." The White Queen noticed that Xiao Xian was reluctant to think about things in front of her.

"Nobody likes to have their mind read, especially when it involves interests," Xiao Xian rolled his eyes, his expression remaining unchanged, though he had completely abandoned that method for the time being.

"I, Norman, am waiting for your news." The White Queen glanced at Xiao Xian and said, "If you betray me and expose my existence to Professor X and other forces, will the mutant brothers let you off the hook?"

"I know, don't worry, I have no intention of being your enemy. As long as you don't mess with me, I have no intention of reporting you." Xiao Xian shrugged and spoke frankly. "On the contrary, I hope we can become friends and partners."

"Very good." After judging from her telepathic connection that Xiao Xian was telling the truth, the White Queen nodded and temporarily lowered her guard.

Sitting in Harry's sports car, Xiao Xian didn't start thinking about his plan until they were quite far from the Osborn Group. Xiao Xian felt that it was pretty reliable. If things went according to plan, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Xiao Xian would soon be able to complete the two tasks of reaching the top of the Osborn Group and obtaining the S-level contract.

"What's your superpower?" Harry Osborn asked with a hint of curiosity as he drove his sports car at high speed with one hand on the road and the other holding something that looked like a cigarette, completely ignoring traffic laws.

"Super regeneration, and wall climbing," Xiao Xian replied, listing the two superpowers he had registered with the Osborn Group.

"Climbing walls? Like that stinky spider?" Harry, like his father, immediately associated Xiao Xian's superpower of absorption with Spider-Man.

"Spider-Man was caught by me and the police," Xiao Xian explained. Xiao Xian was unsure whether Norman was a user of illegal drugs, but Harry was almost certainly one. Just from how wildly he partyed and the cigarette he lit before getting into the car, Xiao Xian knew that this guy was no good.

If it weren't for Xiao Xian's super regeneration ability, making him completely unafraid of car accidents, he definitely wouldn't ride in this kind of car. Who knows what he might do when he gets high?

"You? Super regeneration and wall-climbing? Those two abilities can't beat Spider-Man?" Harry Osborn scoffed, looking at Xiao Xian with disdain. "That stinky spider may be annoying, but he's still quite strong. He could blow your head off with one punch, right?"

"I have super regeneration; even if my head gets blown out, I can recover."

Xiao Xian looked at this rich second-generation guy who seemed a bit mentally unstable and said, "How come this universe's Harry Osborn is acting like this?" To be honest, Xiao Xian wanted to punch him in the face right now.

"Really? It can regenerate even after being broken?" Harry was a little interested. It sounded pretty cool, and maybe he could show it off at a party.

"Of course, he did blow my head off when he was capturing Spider-Man, but I regenerated it very quickly."

Xiao Xian nodded. He couldn't read minds, so he naturally didn't know that Harry, who was in a high mood, could make the connection to the party program. To be precise, who in his right mind would have thought of that?

"Sounds cool, give me one, the best in New York." Upon hearing this, Harry took out something that looked like a cigarette and, without asking Xiao Xian's consent, threw it to him directly, which he considered a favor to Xiao Xian.

"I don't have that hobby." Xiao Xian refused Harry's cigarette. Whether it was his upbringing or his personal preferences, Xiao Xian was not interested in such things.

"Give it a try, you'll love it," Harry said forcefully. He hadn't encountered anyone who rejected him to his face in a long time, especially not someone from the Osborn Group, except, of course, Norman Osborn.

"No, no." Xiao Xian waved his hands repeatedly. What kind of people are these? They want to take over the Osborn Group? It should be handed over to me, and I should be the chairman.

"Boring guy." Harry rolled his eyes in displeasure when Xiao Xian firmly refused, looking somewhat unhappy.

"." Xiao Xian suppressed his urge to curse, silently noting Harry down in his little notebook, deciding to use a few more points of knowledge when he talked to Mary Jane later.
