American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 73 What level is it?

"We've arrived, Miss Black Cat. Xiao Xian has been waiting for quite some time."

Ike led the black cat to the door of a luxurious conference room, looked at the black cat and thought to himself, "It really is worthy of being an S-class superhero, its figure is indeed S-shaped."

I don't really like the way you look at me.

Black Cat rolled her eyes at Ike and said indifferently, not taking the newly appointed branch manager seriously at all. As a superhero with an S-class contract and a super popular hero, Black Cat was not afraid of being suppressed. On the contrary, Osborn would support her to prevent her from jumping ship.

If the company hadn't offered more money this time, Black Cat wouldn't have even been interested in meeting Xiao Xian. Although they were both S-class superheroes in the company, Xiao Xian was just a newcomer who hadn't even debuted yet, and his popularity was nowhere near Black Cat's level.

Black Cat was already annoyed, and then Ike stared at him so lecherously, but Black Cat didn't seem to care at all.

If the head office boss, Harry Osborne, were to come, Black Cat would not only not mind, but would also wink at him and take the opportunity to show off her perfect figure.

"I'm sorry, Miss Black Cat."

An awkward apology ensued. The newly appointed Ike didn't yet have the airs of a branch manager, and besides, Black Cat, as the company's top female employee, relied on her immense popularity for her position.

"Hmph~" With a cold snort, the black cat pushed open the door and spoke rudely to those inside.

"Let me make this clear from the start: my time is precious, and I don't have time to waste on nobodys like you. Hi~ handsome~ I just gave you a performance, playing an arrogant female celebrity. How was it? My acting was pretty good, right?"

Halfway through his sentence, Black Cat's attitude changed completely, and he waved to Xiao Xian.

"Not bad, great acting." Xiao Xian nodded with a smile. "Let's start discussing the script quickly, time is precious."

"Actually, there's no rush~" Black Cat sat down opposite Xiao Xian, propped his chin on one hand, and stared at Xiao Xian adoringly.

"Are you free tonight? How about we eat and chat? You're Chinese, right? I know a Chinese restaurant that's really good~ Want to try it?"

"Hmm, I think that's a good idea. Let's eat and chat."

Xiao Xian sized up the black cat's figure. She wore a tight black leather outfit, and her graceful figure resembled a perfectly sculpted statue. Her long, slender legs were both strong and slender, subtly revealing an agile and nimble air. Her waist was slightly curved, outlining a perfect figure.

The black cat's face was beautiful and captivating, her eyes sparkling with sharp light, like two dazzling gems. Her long hair cascaded over her shoulders, flowing in the wind, giving her an untamed and wild air.

"It's even better now~ Let's go~" Black Cat pulled Xiao Xian and walked straight out, leaving the supervisor looking shocked.

Driving the Lamborghini, they sped all the way to a mansion, and Black Cat couldn't wait to pull Xiao Xian into the room.

"This doesn't seem to be a restaurant, does it?" Xiao Xian asked, following the black cat and looking at the mansion.

"Don't say you don't want to~" The black cat leaned closer and whispered in Xiao Xian's ear, stroking Xiao Xian's shoulder and looking at him with the eyes of someone looking at a priceless treasure.

"Well, of course I'd like to, but let me make it clear beforehand that I'm the kind of person who's all about physical attraction and not emotional connection," Xiao Xian said honestly, looking at the black cat that walked with a cat-like gait.

Unlike the protagonist of a Japanese light novel who refuses despite wanting something, Xiao Xian is a very honest person.

"But what if the paparazzi take pictures of us coming straight to your house in broad daylight?"

Xiao Xian keenly noticed that paparazzi on motorcycles were trying to follow him and Black Cat, but Black Cat's Lamborghini was so fast that the paparazzi's motorcycles couldn't catch up at all.

"Who cares~ If we got the picture, we got it." Black Cat pulled Xiao Xian into the room, and as soon as they entered, she clung to him, saying, "I like rough things."

"Aha~ You said it yourself."

Before the friendly match even ended, photos of Black Cat leading Xiao Xian into her home spread all over the internet. In an instant, a lot of Black Cat's fans were heartbroken, and at the same time, the topic of Xing Guang having her boyfriend stolen also surged in popularity.

In Tony Stark's mansion, Tony frowned in displeasure as he looked at the photo on the screen of a black cat leading Xiao Xian into the house. He asked Jarvis...

"Who exactly is this Xiao Xian?"

"Xiao Xian, of Chinese descent, is an S-class superhero recently signed by the Osborn Group. His abilities include super regeneration and absorption. He is known for his handsome looks and womanizing persona," Jarvis replied in a mechanical voice.

"So this is just a marketing tactic by the Osborn Group? Sacrificing Black Cat's fans and reputation to promote Xiao Xian?" Tony looked at Xiao Xian in the photo with disdain. This guy was obviously not as handsome as him, and he certainly wasn't as rich as him.

"Based on the existing data analysis, it's unlikely. The contract between Black Cat and Osborne is very lenient, and the Osborne Group is unlikely to force Black Cat to do this kind of publicity in order to prevent him from jumping ship to another company."

Jarvis replied.

"So, the black cat did it willingly?"

Looking at the alluring smile of the black cat on the screen, Tony was somewhat annoyed. He was about to win this woman over when Xiao Xian suddenly interfered, and Tony felt very unhappy.

"Based on the existing data analysis, your guess is correct. Not only Black Cat, Starlight, Frost Killer, but also a large number of women are obsessed with Xiao Xian. They all think that Xiao Xian is the most charming man in the world."

"More handsome than me?" Tony said narcissistically, looking at Xiao Xian in the photo. "I don't think he's even a tenth as handsome as me."

"According to the recent online poll results, 10% of netizens think Xiao Xian is more handsome than you, and 5% of netizens think they are about the same," Jarvis replied.

"As expected, most netizens' aesthetic sense is still fine," Tony Stark said, shaking his head.

"Are those 15% of netizens blind? They're just jealous of me, a rich and handsome loser. What kind of class are they to compare themselves to me?"

"Eighty-three percent of netizens think Xiao Xian is countless times more handsome than you, and two percent of netizens think you are more handsome than Xiao Xian." Jarvis, who was set not to interrupt Tony, continued after Tony finished speaking.

"??????" Tony could hardly believe his ears. He asked incredulously, "What did you say?"

"And 83 percent of netizens think Xiao Xian is countless times more handsome than you, and 2 percent," Jarvis obediently repeated what he had just said.

"Stop, stop, stop!" Tony rolled his eyes, looking at Xiao Xian on the screen. "Is this guy an Osborn superhero?"

"Yes, Master," Jarvis replied.

"Help me arrange my schedule. I need to talk to the new Osborn kid. Don't release all sorts of ugly freaks to promote; it'll just pollute everyone's eyes," Tony said through gritted teeth.
