American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 88 Patience

Ultimately, Harry relented under pressure from Mary Jane and agreed to Xiao Xian's disgusting plan against Tony.

However, Xiao Xian soon received a threatening email from Harry, which stated that if Xiao Xian dared to do anything to Mary Jane, Harry would send someone to put Xiao Xian in a coffin, fill the coffin with origami, and then sink it to the bottom of the sea.

Harry's threat was effective, and Xiao Xian decided to persuade the White Queen to carry out Mary Jane's previous plan. Now that the White Queen's telepathic abilities had greatly improved, implanting consciousness was something that could be tried.

Just as Magneto's power surged after his hatred for the Black Emperor turned into love for his mother, the White Queen's power also increased dramatically after she switched her source of superpowers to love for Xiao Xian.

When Starlight returned, the White Queen activated her power and completed the modification of Starlight's memories in a mere moment. The White Queen even felt that she had not yet reached her limit.

"Where is that person?" Starlight, who hadn't sensed anything unusual, asked, not seeing Flower Hand Brother. That guy dared to ambush Xiao Xian; she would definitely not let him off easily.

"They were taken back by Osborn Group staff," Xiao Xian said. The body had been taken away by Osborn Group's body collection team. The body of a superhuman was extremely valuable to Osborn, which focused on biotechnology.

"The group also provided us with a new car and the addresses of several super-powered criminals, but I don't think it's very reliable. After all, if it can be hacked once, it can be hacked twice. I'm fine, I'm unlikely to die, but it's too dangerous for you guys."

Xiao Xian told Xingguang that Osborn Group's firewall was practically useless in front of Tony, and Xiao Xian was afraid that if he followed Osborn's lead, he would fall into another trap.

"Then what do we do? Abandon tonight's operation?" Starlight asked疑惑地.

"No, I have my own intelligence network, but you'll have to wait a bit. I'll be right back," Xiao Xian said, glancing at the two women who were staring at him.

"A new skill? You've mastered a new superpower?"

The White Queen was very surprised. Ordinary people only have one superpower. It is extremely rare for someone like the White Queen to have two superpowers. Xiao Xian already has three superpowers: super regeneration, absorption, and super charm. How could he have gained another superpower?

"Again?" Starlight caught another key point from the White Queen's words.

"People always have to improve, right? Let's hurry up, we need to grind monsters tonight," Xiao Xianmeng said, trying to smooth things over.

Then, Xiao Xian used the flying skill he had just learned. His hands and arms seemed to be strengthened by an invisible force, his muscle lines becoming more defined, as if every inch of his skin was filled with explosive power. Suddenly, the wind seemed to rise from Xiao Xian's feet, and he slowly lifted off the ground, his hair and clothes fluttering in the night wind.

Flying at approximately 150 km/h, which was acceptable, Xiao Xian's figure streaked across the night sky like a shooting star, rapidly heading towards the Osborn Group. During the flight, he looked down at New York City; the city's night was far from peaceful. In the distance, flames soared into the sky, and explosions echoed continuously, as if the gates of hell were slowly opening, plunging the world into chaos.

Meanwhile, in Metropolis, Superman was also watching the live broadcast of New York City on television, and complained to the person on the other end of the phone with great dissatisfaction.

"This was supposed to be a golden opportunity for me to build a fanbase and penetrate the New York market! Didn't you say Wayne Mana Management is the strongest superhero agency in the world? Why should I give in to them?"

"Be patient. There will be opportunities. Wayne Superheroes Agency is undoubtedly the strongest, but now the major companies in New York are united. They haven't participated in events in Gotham and Metropolis in the past, so let's give them face today. Otherwise, if everyone rushes to get exposure for future big events, things will get chaotic, which may not be a good thing for you."

Bruce Wayne, while embracing two top supermodels and enjoying a massage from the beauties, tries to persuade Superman that attending the New York event might be profitable for him in the short term, but not necessarily in the long run.

In the short term, Superman can attract a lot of popularity and open up the New York market, but in the long term, Superman will be hostile to those superhero companies in New York, who will attack and smear Superman in the media and public relations.

With these big companies working together, even if Superman doesn't have any scandals, he's easily hated by everyone. Not to mention that Superman actually has a lot of scandals, and Batman alone knows quite a few. If any one of them is exposed, Superman's image will collapse.

For Wayne Enterprises, Superman's participation in the New York event would definitely be a loss. The anger of a bunch of big companies in New York would be directed at Wayne Enterprises. At most, Superman would just have to endure some slander, defamation, and insults from other companies. As long as he is mentally strong, other companies won't be able to hurt him at all.

However, Wayne Enterprises has many weaknesses and vulnerabilities. If it is attacked by a pack of wolves, it may be bitten bloody and lose a lot of money. At the same time, it will also gain a lot of political enemies.

"Who dares to come to the big city?" Superman said dismissively. "I'll just bury them on the far side of the moon."

"Don't forget you have your share of blemishes too. While those big companies may not be as powerful as Wayne Enterprises, their intelligence gathering capabilities are not weak either. What if they expose your past? By the way, you haven't gotten into any trouble lately, have you?"

Bruce Wayne secretly pointed to Superman. Normally, Bruce would curse at his disobedient subordinates, but he was still somewhat intimidated by Superman.

Although he had prepared several means to counterbalance Superman, such as Martha, Lois, dirt, and Kryptonite, Superman could fly over from Metropolis in just a few seconds and burn Bruce to ashes with his heat vision.

As long as Superman is determined to kill Bruce, even if those checks and balances are effective and can kill Superman or even make him suffer unbearable pain, Bruce will also be gone.

Like most wealthy people, Bruce, who inherited an immeasurable fortune from his father, wasn't ready to die. The idea of ​​dying together with someone was never on Bruce's radar. Even if the person he was going to die with was a god, Bruce wouldn't be willing.

Although Batman nearly sacrificed himself for Gotham several times during the filming, and acted with the determination to die together with others on many occasions, acting is acting and reality is reality, and Bruce Wayne is very clear about this distinction.

Sacrifice for those gullible fools of Gotham? What a joke! I am the King of Gotham.
