American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 58 The Fastest Person

"This time it's really not working. You don't seem to need any rest at all." Catherine, who was lying helplessly on the bed, was very surprised to see Xiao Xian still full of energy and not tired at all.

At this moment, Catherine's durability in all parts had reached zero, and she desperately needed to rest, while Xiao Xian was still as energetic as the first time, and his drop rate did not even decrease.

"My superpowers grant me stamina far exceeding that of ordinary people, and regeneration encompasses many aspects of regeneration," Xiao Xian shrugged, looking at Catherine, who was completely sprawled on the bed, too lazy to even move.

"I'm going back to New York tomorrow. If you have time, you can come visit me in New York, but please call me in advance so I can coordinate the time."

If Catherine in her normal state is a super beauty, then Catherine in her Frost Assassin state not only has the added bonus of being a mature woman with white hair, but also a super beauty with a completely different experience brought about by changing the temperature. Xiao Xian thinks it's very nice and a long-term relationship can be developed.

Moreover, the Frost Assassin is quite powerful and might be able to help at any time.

"Do you have many lovers in New York?" Catherine barely managed to climb next to Xiao Xian and asked, leaning on his shoulder.

"Well, I can't say it's a lot, and I'm not just doing this. I'm also quite busy with my debut and stuff." Xiao Xian said somewhat guiltily. If it weren't for his kidney with unlimited super regeneration, which allows him to have unlimited bullets and fire continuously, plus the fact that he doesn't need to rest for 24 hours, he really wouldn't be able to handle it.

"Hmph~ you heartbreaker~, but I think I can't live without you anymore." Catherine hugged Xiao Xian's arm and said.

"Haven't you thought about marriage or anything? Although it's a bit sudden, I have a house, a car, and a lot of savings. We can find a quiet place to live a pastoral life. I'll let you manage all the money, and I'll do all the housework."

"What are you doing? We agreed to just have sex, not anything romantic. Are you up to something?" Xiao Xian said warily, moving closer to the side. "We agreed to a friendly match. Are you serious?"

And you've only met for one day, yet you're already asking for money and a house and car to get married? Girl, aren't you being a little too hasty?

"I was just asking. If you want to find a few more to live with, that's fine too, but I can't satisfy you anyway, so forget it."

As Catherine spoke, seeing Xiao Xian continue to try to hide to the side, she quickly moved closer to him.

"However, how about I break the contract and go to Osborn? That way we'll have more opportunities to meet."

"No, I'm not even sure how long I'll be staying at Osborn myself. I almost blew Harry Osborn's head off yesterday."

Xiao Xian quickly shook his head. Why is the proportion of people with love-struck minds skyrocketing? Could it be a side effect of his super charm upgrade?

Thinking of this, Xiao Xian suddenly felt a little afraid to go back and see Tomie. It seemed that his super charm was also working on Tomie now. This girl Tomie was already acting like this even if she didn't really like him. Xiao Xian didn't even dare to think about what would happen if she really fell in love with him.

However, if Tomie's super regeneration can be upgraded, Xiao Xian's ability to survive can be further enhanced. Wouldn't it be wonderful if he could automatically choose which body to use with a single thought, or even control multiple bodies at the same time?

"Really? Then why don't you come to Starry Sky Superheroes Agency?! I have some connections here! If you don't mind, we can create a romantic image together, and I'll get all my fans to support you!"

Upon hearing this, Catherine was not afraid at all, but rather even happier, and looked forward to it with great anticipation.

"That won't be necessary. Besides, your male fans are more likely to hate me than admire me, right?"

Xiao Xian paused for a moment as he spoke, thinking, "To collect hatred, you could just pick up girls everywhere, right?"

"What's wrong?" Catherine asked, looking at the stunned Xiao Xian.

"Are you feeling unwell? Did you overexert yourself just now? I'll have Flash take you to the hospital."

"No need, Catherine. It might sound a bit scummy to say this, but would you mind if I were one of your publicly acknowledged girlfriends?"

Xiao Xian looked at Catherine and said, then felt that this might not be a good idea, since according to Catherine's character, she had simply been deceived by a scumbag.

"Forget it, you've always been very clean-living since your debut, which isn't good for your fan base and will affect your career. I'd rather find a more unrestrained persona."

"Stop talking." Catherine pressed her index finger to Xiao Xian's lips, then hugged his arm and said, "I do."

Feeling guilty for having inexplicably deceived someone and even affected their career, Xiao Xian hugged Catherine and said...

"I will definitely repay you in the future and make up for the losses."

"I'm happy as long as it helps you, I don't expect anything in return. I know some other pretty girls, how about I introduce them to you? We can become even more popular if we promote each other together."

Catherine hugged Xiao Xian sweetly.

Hearing this, Xiao Xian felt a little embarrassed. Ever since he gained super charm, even though he was in a dark version of the superhero universe, he had kind people everywhere he went. Kind people would give him a ride when he took a taxi, people would rush to pay the bill when he ate out, and he had met quite a few nice girls. Even among the superheroes, there were two kind people, Catherine and Starlight.

Of course, Starlight is indeed a good person, and Catherine, judging from her complete indifference to the fact that the Weather Wizard was beaten by the Flash, may not necessarily be a good person, but for Xiao Xian, she can definitely be considered a good girl, and almost a good person.

Xiao Xian didn't care at all about the weather wizard being beaten. He was a third-rate villain turned fourth-rate superhero. Who cares?

His obsession with marriage is a bit of a downer. Xiao Xian is living a good life and doesn't want to get married so young.

"By the way, let me ask my best friend to do an exclusive interview with you! She's a reporter for the Midtown newspaper, which will really help your popularity," Catherine suggested.

"You're not talking about Iris, are you?" Xiao Xian asked upon hearing this. Iris West was the only reporter he knew from the Midtown Newspaper, the girlfriend of The Flash, Barry Allen.

"Yes, it's her! You know her?" Catherine asked in surprise.

"I wouldn't say I know her, I'd say I'm aware of her. Isn't she Barry Allen's girlfriend? That might sound a bit narcissistic, but with my looks and charm, right? I could definitely resist temptation, but Iris is another story. You know what I mean? Wouldn't that be like offending the Flash for no reason?"

Xiao Xian's lips twitched as he said, "Although the Flash in movies and TV series always gets thrashed, in reality, as long as speedsters put aside their morals, they are all incredibly powerful killing machines. Apart from Superman, ordinary superpowered beings are no match for speedsters."

Putting aside everything else, few people can withstand Reverse Flash's hand-blade heart-cutting technique alone. This move ignores external defenses. The Flash can also do it, but he never uses it in movies and TV shows.

"Hahaha~" Catherine laughed heartily upon hearing this, looking as if she had heard something hilarious.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Xian was a little confused. What he said might seem narcissistic and funny to most people, but for someone as charming as himself, it was the truth.

"Ahem. Do you know that the Flash is the fastest man in the world? Hahahaha~" Catherine was laughing so hard that she was coughing a little, and tears were almost streaming down her face.

"I know, wait a minute!" Xiao Xian didn't react at first, but after a moment, he suddenly realized what was going on as he looked at Catherine, who was grinning from ear to ear.
