American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 65 I'm not that kind of person

Osborn Superhero Agency

"Xiao Xian, you've arrived!" Ike stood at the company entrance, welcoming Xiao Xian with a group of underlings, and said with a fawning smile, "Young Master Harry has instructed that your contract will be changed to S-level, and from now on you will be our company's top star."

Although it's unclear why Harry threatened to blacklist Xiao Xian a couple of days ago, he suddenly changed his mind today and offered to sign an S-level contract for Xiao Xian and promote him as the company's top star.

What Ike knew was that Xiao Xian was the company's top star, having signed an S-level contract, and he had to treat him well.

"Keep it low-key, keep it low-key. Let's go, take me to see the contract." Xiao Xian waved his hand and said, "Let's hurry up and sign the contract to complete the mission and obtain Green Goblin - Super Reaction (Modified) first."

"Go on with your own business!" Ike waved his men away. After everyone had left, Ike whispered to Xiao Xian, "The S-level contract is different from other contracts. It's not just about signing with the Osborn Group, but also about signing some contracts with special departments."

"Special department? What kind of contract?" Xiao Xian asked curiously.

"I don't know. I was just authorized by Master Harry to manage Osborn Superhero Agency. Before that, the signing of S-class superheroes was handled by Master Norman Osborn himself, and the liaison was also handled by Master Norman himself."

Ike shook his head, indicating that he didn't know either.

"Now that the master is bedridden and the young master has no interest in managing things, I've taken over the relevant matters."

"I see." He was still pretending to be bedridden and not announcing his death. If it weren't for the fear of alerting the enemy, Xiao Xian would have shorted the Osborne Group's stock. Norman Osborne and Harry Osborne, their abilities were not so different as to be vastly different.

The public and ordinary stock market investors may not know about Harry's outrageous deeds and drug use, but financial institutions and Wall Street capitalists certainly do.

Once Harry takes power, Osborne Group's stock will inevitably plummet.

Following Ike to the conference room, Xiao Xian asked curiously.

"Which special department sent this time?"

"S.H.I.E.L.D., we're here," Ike replied.

"S.H.I.E.L.D." Xiao Xian certainly knew the famous S.H.I.E.L.D. In the Marvel Cinematic Universe, S.H.I.E.L.D. had been infiltrated by Hydra, so calling it S.H.I.E.L.D. was not an exaggeration.

But in this world, the Hydra guys might not actually be able to outmaneuver the equally despicable and shameless S.H.I.E.L.D. veterans who also wield public power.

Putting everything else aside, Howard Stark in this universe dies of old age, at least on the surface, and it's certain that it's much later than in the cinematic universe.

It's just a matter of not knowing which agent S.H.I.E.L.D. sent. If it's Black Widow, Xiao Xian can at least collect some stamps and check in. This is a holy land for transmigrators from all over the world. If you don't check in, you'd be embarrassed to say you've transmigrated to the Marvel universe.

"Yes, it's Hawkeye Barton and Mockingbird Barbara. They're S.H.I.E.L.D. superheroes, and Barton has even joined the Avengers. Although he's the least popular among them, he's still a force to be reckoned with."

Ike nodded, while reminding Xiao Xian, "Barbara is beautiful, but don't try to steal her away in front of everyone."

"What are you saying? Do you think I'm that kind of person?" Xiao Xian pouted in dissatisfaction. "I usually dig them up secretly."

Pushing open the door, in a corner of the conference room, Barbara and the Bartons from S.H.I.E.L.D. were talking. Barbara was a blonde beauty with delicate features and fair, smooth skin, her face as beautiful as porcelain.

Upon seeing Xiao Xian enter, Barbara immediately stopped her conversation with Barton, stood up, walked towards Xiao Xian, shook hands with him, and said with a beaming smile.

"Hello, I'm Barbara Morse. You're so handsome! You'll definitely seduce all those female fans after you debut."

As she spoke, Barbara winked at Xiao Xian, who had no doubt that he could get a date tonight if he asked.

Barbara has a slender and well-proportioned figure with smooth lines. As a former outstanding gymnastics champion, her flexibility is undoubtedly exceptional, allowing her to attempt a wide variety of exercises. Moreover, Barbara's body exudes health and vitality, and every movement reveals an elegant temperament.

Normally, Xiao Xian wouldn't mind asking a beautiful woman like Barbara out, but at this moment, Barbara's husband was watching from the side. Xiao Xian thought it best to forget it. He had already said that he wasn't the kind of person who would steal someone else's partner in public, so it would be more appropriate to ask her out secretly later.

Barton frowned slightly as he watched his wife take the initiative to shake his hand, smiling broadly and giving him flirtatious glances. His eyes revealed dissatisfaction and jealousy, as if he wanted to devour Xiao Xian alive.

"Um, hello~" Feeling Baba gently tap his palm twice with her index finger, Xiao Xian withdrew his hand and said somewhat awkwardly. The Super Charm upgrade was too powerful. Although he hadn't done anything, it seemed to be no different from poaching someone's boyfriend right in front of him.

"Ahem~ I'm Hawkeye Barton, Barbara's husband."

Barton quickly walked over and took the seat opposite Xiao Xian. He shook hands with Xiao Xian with a big smile on his face, and used all his strength to grip Xiao Xian's hand.

"Hmm?" Xiao Xian felt the grip from Barton's hand. His original body definitely wouldn't have been able to withstand it, but his current body was regenerated, and his muscles were much more developed than before.

Although this body was muscular, it hadn't been trained much. Xiao Xian usually trained his waist strength, but his hands were basically untrained. In addition, his skin was still delicate since he had only recently grown up, so when Barton pinched him, it hurt a little and turned red.

If Xiao Xian had just transmigrated, he might have screamed out in pain of this magnitude, but now that his head had been blown apart several times, he was indifferent to this level of pain.

However, Xiao Xian's calmness didn't mean others weren't anxious. Seeing Xiao Xian's hand red from being squeezed, Barbara immediately panicked and angrily said to Barton...

"Let him go! Barton! Now! Immediately! Right now!"

"I'll just play around with him," Barton said sheepishly after being scolded by his wife.

"Are you alright?" Barbara immediately came over and held Xiao Xian's hand as if it were a precious treasure, saying with great concern, "It's all red from being pinched, does it hurt? Let me rub it for you."

Before Xiao Xian could answer, Barbara reached out and gently massaged his hand.

"No need, no need, it's already done." Xiao Xian saw that Hawkeye next to him had already gripped the pistol handle with gritted teeth, so he quickly withdrew his hand. Relying on the powerful recovery ability of his super regeneration, Xiao Xian's hand returned to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This universe is such a hassle. Looking at Hawkeye, who had just loosened his grip on the gun, Xiao Xian thought, "Hawkeye is using a gun now, does he still care about martial ethics?"

However, super charm can be troublesome sometimes. Xiao Xian looked at Barbara's disappointed face and thought, "It's a good thing there's no Superwoman, otherwise I wouldn't have been kidnapped by her and taken home, would I?"
