American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 54 Revenge

"And after he's been hooked. I'll play the one that's on his heart. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh~"

Humming a song, Mary Jane happily opened the door to her house. Today, Harry had helped her secure a cameo role in a movie. Although she didn't have many lines, she had a close-up of her face, and she had also exchanged contact information with several influential people in the industry. They all promised to give her a suitable opportunity in the future.

Mary Jane thought to herself, "It was definitely the right move to get involved with Harry." She was glad she'd been smart enough not to agree to date that loser Peter Parker. Where did that guy get his money? Turns out he stole it. But even if he robbed a bank, Peter could never have Osborn's wealth, let alone his influence.

The party was originally planned for a superhero, but that guy was so clueless that he offended Harry Osborn, so now he's the only one who benefits.

Pushing open the door, Mary Jane saw a man sitting on her sofa scrolling through his phone. Mary Jane immediately pulled out her phone to call Harry, while simultaneously backing away. She had just hooked up with a rich guy; she couldn't afford to fall for him here.

"I came in through the window, you don't mind, do you?"

Xiao Xian heard the door open, turned around, saw Mary Jane, smiled and asked, "Great! This isn't the Mary Jane from the original movie. This Mary Jane is a red-haired beauty. No wonder even a playboy like Harry was captivated by her."

"It's nothing~ It's nothing~ Who are you?" Mary Jane saw Xiao Xian's face, took a step back, and walked into the door, closing it behind her. This was a stark contrast to her previous wariness.

"Feeding~Jian?"

Just then, the call connected, and Harry's voice came through the phone. Mary Jane hurriedly answered, "Hello, Harry."

"What's up?" Harry asked, having just seen Mary Jane upstairs.

"It's nothing, I just suddenly missed you and wanted to hear your voice," Mary Jane said, staring blankly at Xiao Xian.

"I miss you too~ How about I go back and pick you up? I won't go home to sleep tonight." Harry Osborn said happily upon hearing this.

"No, no, I'm a little tired from socializing today, and I'm really sleepy right now. I'm about to wash up and go to bed, but I wanted to hear your voice before I went to sleep, that's why I called you," Mary Jane hurriedly refused.

"Oh, okay then, you should get some rest." Harry said considerately, "I love you."

"Mmm~ I love you too." Mary Jane hung up the phone perfunctorily, then looked at Xiao Xian somewhat awkwardly and explained, "I don't really have any feelings for him."

"It's okay, don't worry, I understand." Xiao Xian casually revealed his Ferrari car keys and said to Mary Jane, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Xiao Xian, and I am a superhero."

"Xiao Xian? You're the one Harry was talking about today?" Mary Jane looked at Xiao Xian in surprise. "You came to see me to get revenge on Harry?"

"Pretty much, you can understand it that way, but don't worry, I don't have a habit of forcing others." Xiao Xian nodded.

"I understand. I'll call Harry and break up with him right away. Don't worry, it's entirely my own choice. How about we get married tomorrow? That would definitely infuriate Harry."

After glancing at Xiao Xian's Ferrari car keys and then at his face, Mary Jane said without hesitation, "They're both rich guys, but Xiao Xian, while not as rich as Harry Osborn, is much more handsome than Harry."

He's so handsome, even if he's a Ferrari owner, Mary Jane would be happy to let him wash dishes at a restaurant to support him, let alone be a Ferrari owner.

Her intuition told her that this was the man she had always dreamed of, her true love!

"Wait a minute~" Xiao Xian quickly said, pulling Mary Jane's hand as she picked up her phone to make a call, "That's not what I meant."

"So what do you mean?" Mary Jane didn't resist at all when Xiao Xian grabbed her hand. Instead, she took the opportunity to scratch Xiao Xian's palm.

"I've always been all about physical attraction, not emotional connection," Xiao Xian said, looking at Mary Jane.

"Then Harry will break up with me." Mary Jane hesitated a bit. Wouldn't that mean she got neither of them? But she still didn't shake off Xiao Xian's hand.

"Just don't expose him," Xiao Xian shrugged. "Don't you want to be the matriarch of the Osborn Group anymore?"

"I just want to be with you," Mary Jane said, gazing at Xiao Xian with adoration.

"But I want to be the president of the Osborn Group." Xiao Xian was speechless. The previous intelligence clearly showed that Mary Jane was a green tea bitch, so how come she became love-struck when she met him?

"Huh?" Mary Jane was completely bewildered. This person was serious. Her boldest idea was nothing more than to make a quick buck and gain fame by using Harry's connections. After all, Harry's father particularly disliked her, and Mary Jane knew this and that it was unlikely that she would marry Harry.

"What? You don't believe me?" Xiao Xian asked, seeing the shocked expression on Mary Jane's face.

"But Harry's father, Norman Osborn, really hates me. He won't allow me to marry his son, and he certainly won't agree to give me any of his property," Mary Jane said with some helplessness.

"It's nothing. Norman Osborn hates me too. I almost smashed his stupid son's head in today," Xiao Xian shrugged, speaking in a completely indifferent tone.

"Huh?" How would this help me get the Osborn Group? Mary Jane was full of questions. If it weren't Xiao Xian who said this, she would have rolled her eyes long ago.

"What I mean is, we don't need to care about the thoughts of a dying man," Xiao Xian laughed, pulling Mary Jane into his arms. "Don't worry, I'll handle it. Now we just need to enjoy the night."

"You must." Mary Jane was shocked, but soon, under Xiao Xian's guidance, she obediently knelt on the ground.

The next morning, Xiao Xian removed Mary Jane's hand from his chest, glanced at Mary Jane who was still asleep beside him, and sighed inwardly. He was glad that he hadn't followed the movie version, otherwise he would have just given up and done a perfunctory job last night, since he had only sacrificed his looks.

Even though he had been through a lot last night, thanks to his super regeneration ability, Xiao Xian was still full of energy and didn't feel tired at all. On the contrary, Mary Jane was completely defeated and was still unconscious.

As he went downstairs, Xiao Xian made a phone call to arrange a meeting with the White Queen to discuss important matters. He then called Osborne.

"Boss, test complete. Your future daughter-in-law isn't very reliable. Last night, I wouldn't say she was proactive, but I could say she was willing to cooperate in any position."

"Didn't I tell you not to get involved in this?! Do you even respect me anymore?! Now, right now! Get to work! But now that the test is over, remember to keep the evidence of Mary Jane's infidelity safe and hand it to me later."

Norman Osborn was furious upon hearing this, but he managed to suppress his anger and didn't lash out too harshly.

According to the analysis of the company's professionals, Xiao Xian could be controlled by anesthesia and life imprisonment. However, this method would cause too much of a stir in the outside world. After all, it would not be easy to capture him alive, and Xiao Xian is now a well-known figure, which would easily attract public attention.

So Norman planned to lure Xiao Xian to work, then deal with him at the company, and then announce to the outside world that Xiao Xian, the superhero he originally planned to debut as, had an accident during training.

"Coming right away, coming right away~" Xiao Xian said, but after confirming that the mission was completed and the Super Charm (+) had been credited to his account, he hung up the phone and threw it away. Now Norman Osborn couldn't find him even if he used his phone's location tracking.

Xiao Xian flagged down a beautiful female driver by the roadside and declined a ride offer from an older woman. He then hitched a ride to the meeting place he had arranged to meet the White Queen.
