American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 96 Aren't you jealous?

At the lively press conference for the start of filming, Xiao Xian, Mary Jane, and Harry became the focus of everyone's attention.

Xiao Xian, needless to say, is currently America's most popular superhero, nicknamed the "goddess harvester." The reporters present, especially the female reporters, wished they could pounce on Xiao Xian.

The reason Mary Jane and Harry became the focus is simple: this movie was initiated by Harry to promote his fiancée Mary Jane, and many of the media present today are here because of the Osborne Group.

During the Q&A session, a reporter seized the opportunity to ask a sensitive yet gossipy question:

"Harry, your fiancée Mary Jane is acting alongside such a handsome and charming actor like Shawn Yue. Aren't you jealous?"

The room fell silent for a moment, all eyes fixed on Harry, awaiting his answer.

Xiao Xian then looked at the White Queen in the far corner. The White Queen mouthed a single word: Tony.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Xian immediately understood. These were reporters arranged by Tony, with the aim of disgusting Harry.

Tony Stark is quite the troublemaker; he's offended quite a few characters in the storyline, including Black Cat, himself, Harry, Hammer, Superman, and Killian.

Unfortunately, he didn't get to see Pepper Potts at the last high-end banquet; he only saw Betty Ross, Hulk's current girlfriend. Otherwise, Xiao Xian would have definitely shown Tony what the world is all about.

Upon hearing the reporter's words, a hint of displeasure flashed across Harry's face, but it quickly disappeared. Instead, the thought of Mary Jane and Xiao Xian together actually made Harry feel a little excited and thrilled.

Harry pinched his thigh and quickly turned his gaze to Mary Jane, who was smiling at him. How could he have such thoughts when faced with a woman who loved him so deeply and a loyal fiancée like Mary Jane?

Harry cursed himself inwardly for taking too many drugs lately, and answered according to the instructions in his earpiece.

“Of course,” Harry replied, following the answer in his earpiece. “Who can say they’re completely without jealousy in love? But I trust Mary Jane, and more importantly, I trust the love between us. Mary Jane is a professional, and I know she’ll maintain a professional attitude with everyone at work, whether it’s Xiao Xian or the other actors.”

"And Xiao Xian is not only an outstanding superhero, but also a dedicated actor. I believe Mary Jane and Xiao Xian will bring us a wonderful movie."

For some reason, as Harry said this, he felt incredibly excited when he thought about Mary Jane and Xiao Xian acting together, especially when there were slightly ambiguous scenes. You see, last night when he was in the bedroom with Mary Jane, he couldn't feel excited at all.

Harry wondered in shock if he had actually awakened something strange.

Harry glanced at Mary Jane and Xiao Xian, then quickly shook the strange thought out of his head. What was he even thinking?

As Harry finished speaking, enthusiastic applause quickly erupted in the room. The reporter Tony had sent wanted to ask something more, but a fellow journalist preemptively interrupted the spellcasting with a question.

"Mr. Spielberg, why did you choose Mary Jane, a newcomer, as the lead actress in your film? What did you see in her?"

"That's definitely her acting skills, and her expressive eyes. I really like them; this is exactly what I imagine a female lead should be like."

Spielberg paused for a moment, but ultimately decided to give Harry, his financial backer, a round of awkward praise. Spielberg wasn't short of money, but he had to respect the biotechnology of the Osborn Group, especially their personalized wellness programs. It was said that they could not only slow down aging, but the most advanced ones could even repair severed limbs.

That kind of thing can't be bought with money alone; it also depends on one's status and position.

Spielberg is getting old now. Even if he doesn't consider the present, he should consider the future. If he needs the Osborne Group's help in the future, it would be good to establish a good relationship.

"Mr. Xiao Xian, are you married?" a female reporter asked immediately, her eyes burning with desire as she looked at Xiao Xian.

"No. If possible, please try to ask about the movie." Xiao Xian said somewhat helplessly. He was asked similar questions every time he was interviewed.

After the opening ceremony ended, Harry left with Mary Jane, while Xiao Xian was blocked in the parking lot by Betty Ross.

"Please! Please let me be your assistant!" Betty Ross pleaded, blocking Xiao Xian's path.

Betty Ross has a stunning figure, and her long legs are one of the two most striking features, especially when they are encased in exquisite black stockings, making her appear both elegant and sexy. Her outfit is bold and fashionable; a well-tailored little black dress hugs her body, perfectly outlining her graceful curves, while the hemline just above her thighs subtly showcases her beautiful legs.

The simple and elegant high heels perfectly elongated her leg lines, making her already long legs look even longer.

Another striking feature is the expanse of snow-white skin on her chest, and the deep cleavage hidden beneath the thin black veil, making one eager to explore further.

"Why didn't security stop you? Never mind, never mind." Xiao Xian himself found his words absurd; this was General Ross's only daughter.

"Go home now, Miss Ross. I can't possibly hire you as my assistant."

If it were an ordinary person, or even a top star like Taylor Swift, Xiao Xian could just finish up and leave without caring about anything. Taylor Swift would even call on her fans to support Xiao Xian on Twitter.

But Betty Ross is different. She is the only daughter of General Ross, a powerful general in America. If Xiao Xian sleeps with her and leaves, a team of special forces might storm into Xiao Xian's house the next day, and Xiao Xian's past would be thoroughly investigated. If Xiao Xian were clean, it would be fine, but Norman Osborn was someone Xiao Xian literally angered to death.

In addition, Xiao Xian's house also contained various biological agents, poisons, and bombs, plus Tomie...

In fact, Xiao Xian didn't see Chili Pepper at the last high-end banquet. On the night he met Betty Ross, General Ross sent someone to warn Xiao Xian to stay away from his daughter, otherwise General Ross would use all available resources to severely punish the guy who defiled his daughter.

Besides, even without considering General Ross, Xiao Xian still had to consider the Hulk. But then again, the name Hulk is rather awkward, especially considering Betty Ross's pursuit of him. It seems that in the comics, he was cheated on quite a few times.
