American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 97 You still care about this?

"I am a Harvard graduate, and my father is General Ross. I feel I am fully capable of serving as your assistant."

Betty Ross chose to identify herself by her father's name. From childhood to adulthood, whether it was going to college, looking for a job, or asking someone for a favor, Betty Ross always got what she wanted as long as she mentioned her father's name.

"I know, Miss Betty, you could easily be a scientist, or go into politics, or become a lawyer. Being my assistant is a waste of your talents."

Xiao Xian said with some helplessness, "If it weren't for General Ross, the Hulk, and Betty Ross, a top beauty like her, I would definitely have arranged a friendly match. This universe's Betty Ross is much prettier than the one in the movie."

Being handsome can sometimes be a real problem, and the trouble Betty Ross caused far outweighed the pleasure her beauty brought to Xiao Xian.

Besides, with Xiao Xian's current charm, he has no shortage of beautiful women. The line of people pursuing him could stretch all the way to Gotham.

"Did my dad put pressure on you?" Betty Ross immediately thought of Xiao Xian's troubled look when she saw him. From childhood to adulthood, her tactic of bringing up her dad had only failed in one situation: when her dad had already given her instructions.

For example, when it came to university, Betty Ross initially wanted to go to a European university like Cambridge or Oxford, but her father, General Ross, felt it was better to stay in America's homeland.

The end result was that no matter how many European universities Betty Ross applied to, none of them would accept her, not even diploma mills, let alone Cambridge or Oxford.

"No, it's just that I personally don't like you. You're too ugly and don't meet my aesthetic standards." Xiao Xian shook his head, rejecting Betty Ross's statement, which was also something General Ross had specifically instructed him to do.

"You're lying. Your eyes have been fixed on my chest and thighs." Betty Ross saw through Xiao Xian's lie at a glance and said smugly. She had specially worn the most revealing outfit today, the kind that her ex-boyfriend Bruce Banner had begged her to wear several times but she had never worn.

"I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Xiao Xian immediately turned his gaze away. It's true that if you have cleavage, there's no way you could still show so much. Coupled with long legs and black stockings, and the fact that she took the initiative to deliver food to his door, Xiao Xian felt that he was already quite capable of resisting just looking.

"I'm going back to find my dad right now!" Betty Ross said with certainty, took out her coat from her bag, put it on, and turned to leave. She couldn't show off her outfit to anyone else; only Xiao Xian could see it.

"Wait, don't you have a boyfriend?" Xiao Xian called out to Betty Ross, saying righteously, "I'm not the kind of person who steals other people's partners."

"We broke up after meeting that day. But didn't you cheat on Leonardo DiCaprio and a whole bunch of other people?" Betty Ross turned to look at Xiao Xiandao, her expression as if to say, "You still care about that?"

"That was just an accident. Anyway, if you keep cleaning up, there's no way we can be together." Xiao Xian said somewhat guiltily. Leonardo couldn't turn into the Hulk and smash himself into mincemeat. Although with Xiao Xian's current regenerative abilities, he could recover in just a few seconds even if he were smashed into mincemeat.

"I've been waiting for you. Catherine has told me about you so many times."

In the city center, Iris West greeted Xiao Xian with a broad smile. Even disregarding his looks, she was delighted that Xiao Xian, with his current popularity, was still willing to be interviewed.

After meeting him in person, Iris was more pleased with Xiao Xian's looks than his career advancement. He truly lived up to his reputation as a heartthrob; his appearance was stunning.

Moreover, rumors suggest that Xiao Xian's abilities in that area are exceptional, and many female celebrities who have had relationships with him are said to have praised his prowess in private. This is far superior to that useless Flash.

"After all, it was agreed upon long ago." Xiao Xian shook hands with Iris, and looking at Iris, he thought to himself, "It's a good thing we didn't follow the version in the movies and TV shows."

Today, Iris wore a sharp, dark blue suit paired with a matching pencil skirt, looking both professional and feminine. Her blonde hair was styled into a low ponytail, with a few wisps gently framing her face, adding a touch of casual charm. Her bright, deep blue eyes, like lakes that could see into people's hearts, were now nervously and expectantly meeting Xiao Xian's gaze.

Actually, Xiao Xian came today mainly to find out what exactly the Flash took that ruined him, so he could go back and give Harry a drug with weaker effects. If there was a chance, he also wanted to have the White Queen read the Flash's mind and understand what a crippled person was thinking.

"Ahem~ Nice to meet you, my name is Emma." Seeing Iris's radiant appearance, the White Queen coughed twice to interrupt Iris's thoughts, and reached out her hand to Iris, cursing inwardly, "Another vixen."

"Ah~ Hello, I'm Iris." Iris said, looking at Xiao Xian with a curious gaze, asking about Emma's identity. This person looked like the lady of the house, but Iris remembered that the news mentioned that Xiao Xian did not have a girlfriend.

"She's my friend and my temporary assistant. She came here with me," Xiao Xian explained.

"Oh, so you're friends." Iris emphasized the word "friends" and gave the White Queen a provocative look.

"Alright, alright, let's get started on the interview." Xiao Xian said to Iris, stopping the two from about to start a fight.

Iris is just an ordinary person; in a real fight, she wouldn't be a match for the White Queen.

The interview began, and Iris tried to focus on asking questions, but she found her eyes involuntarily following Xiao Xian's every move. Xiao Xian spoke about his responsibilities as a superhero, the challenges he faced, and his praise for love and peace, as well as his opposition to violence.

As a reporter, Iris had heard these lines more than once. Even before she and The Flash broke up, she had seen Barry Allen, the Flash, recite similar lines in front of her more than once. But the same words had completely different effects when spoken by different people. At this moment, in Iris's eyes, Xiao Xian seemed to be shining.

Even as the interview ended, Iris remained reluctant to part, looking at Xiao Xian and inviting him to leave.

"How about I show you around Midtown?"

"Okay, Catherine said she'll be here soon, let's go together." Xiao Xian glanced at Iris and nodded.

"Okay, sure." Iris replied after a moment's hesitation. She had thought she would get half today, but it turned out to be a third. No wonder Xiao Xian could hook up with so many female celebrities in a day, and he could meet up with several at once without keeping it a secret.

But he's so handsome! Iris thought to herself as she looked at Xiao Xian, "What can I do? I really can't refuse!"
