American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 142 Have fun

"If you don't want to, I can ask someone else to represent you." Xiao Xian looked at Gwen and joked.

"Of course I do!" Gwen said excitedly when she heard that, and gave Xiao Xian a passionate kiss.

After a long time, their lips parted, and Gwen whispered happily, "It's like a dream~"

"Your lips are very soft." Xiao Xianze looked at Gwen and whispered, "Are you free tonight?"

"Yes! I mean, I'm fine." Gwen answered excitedly, then felt that she seemed too positive, so she quickly changed her words.

"Wait for me backstage, I'll come to you soon." Xiao Xian winked at Gwen.

"Okay~ I'll wait for you." Gwen happily handed the microphone to Xiao Xian and trotted off the stage.

"Next, let's welcome our old friend, Andres. He is a very nice person and a candidate for mayor of New York City. I hope everyone can support him."

Xiao Xian picked up the microphone and shouted to the audience that Andres had a close relationship with the Osborne Group. To be precise, he was a member of the Osborne Group, and in Xiao Xian's eyes, the Osborne Group belonged to him. For the sake of his own interests, Xiao Xian did not mind using a little influence.

More importantly, Xiao Xian also wanted to see what his influence was. In America, influence represents votes, and votes mean power.

After Xiao Xian's introduction, the audience burst into warm applause. Andres walked onto the stage with a confident smile. He first thanked Xiao Xian and then began his speech.

“Dear everyone, my name is Andres. I am here today thanks to the support of Xiao Xian and the encouragement of every friend present. We all know that New York City faces many challenges, but it also has unlimited possibilities. If I am fortunate enough to become mayor, I will be committed to making our city more prosperous, safe, and inclusive.”

"This guy has little chance of winning. He's a newcomer in the political arena with a weak political foundation, and the voting is only a few days away." George Stacy whispered to Xiao Xian at the edge of the stage, "With your influence, you can win with any of the popular candidates. Why do you want to add more gambles to him and offend the future mayor of New York?"

"If I don't pick a political rookie, how can I see if my influence can really influence the New York mayoral election?" Xiao Xian said with a smile, "And the mayor of New York? With my current popularity, it's okay to offend him a little, unless he and his party don't want the female votes in New York anymore."

This is not a big country, and the status of American politicians is not that transcendent. No matter who comes to power, no matter which party they belong to, no matter how many unpleasantnesses there were in the past, the other party must please Xiao Xian, who has financial support from Osborne and a large number of female votes.

Especially the latter, in the eyes of politicians, is a more important bargaining chip than Osborne's financial support. After all, in New York, politicians who have made it big cannot lack financial support, but women's votes are different. Their votes are the lifeblood of politicians.

Even if only one-tenth of Xiao Xian's female fans support those he supports, that would still be an important force enough to decide the elections of New York council members and mayor.

If all of Xiao Xian's female fans support the people Xiao Xian supports, then the mayor, governor, senator, and congressman of New York City will all be decided by Xiao Xian alone. You should know that about 90% of New York women are Xiao Xian's fans, and half of them are % of New York women.

If the male-to-female ratio is one-to-one, that would represent 22.5% of the votes. The voter turnout in New York City last year was only about 20%. Although most people occasionally care about topics such as the mayoral candidate, not many people actually vote when it comes to voting.

"Be careful with Fisk. He won't be happy to see a challenger appear at this time, and he is not a politician in the strict sense."

George Stacy reminded Xiao Xian that he was promoted to the position of police chief with Xiao Xian's support. It can be said that he cared more about Xiao Xian's safety than Xiao Xian himself. Two days ago, Xiao Xian faked his death, and the current mayor hinted that he should resign as soon as possible. He cried so sadly.

"Fisk? Who? Never heard of him. A superhero?" Xiao Xian asked puzzledly.

"You may have heard of another name, Kingpin." George Stacy reminded Xiao Xiandao, "Unlike ordinary politicians, he is actually the emperor of the underground forces in New York. He is now running for mayor in order to whitewash himself."

"Ahaha~ Kingpin, he doesn't even have super powers, why should I care about him? Let's train him until he can withstand my heat vision." Xiao Xian curled his lips in disdain when he heard this.
"Besides, I have Osborn Group and SHIELD behind me. As long as Kingpin is not crazy, he will know which people can be provoked and which people cannot be provoked."

"That's true. I'm overthinking it." George Stacy thought about it and agreed. The reason why the underground forces are called underground forces is because they cannot defeat the violent machine. If they are stronger than the violent machine, they are not underground forces, but the new regime.

After Andres finished his speech, Xiao Xian went on stage again to praise him, then called on everyone to vote for him, and finally left amid the reluctant pleas of fans.

"If Andres can really be elected, you will prove your influence. Even the president will not be able to ignore your influence." George Stacy was waiting for Xiao Xian downstairs. When he saw Xiao Xian coming down, he immediately said excitedly. At the same time, he added in his heart that by then I might also have the opportunity to make a further step, and it might even be possible for me to become the mayor of New York in the future.

"Let's talk about it when the time comes. What about Gwen?" Xiao Xian shrugged. There were many people who loved him, but there were also many people who hated him. He was not sure how many fans would run to vote because of what he said. There would definitely be a lot of male votes that would be cast for his opponent, but overall it should still be positive. In short, he would wait and see.

It's a pity that one needs to be an adult to vote, and the most active fans of Xiao Xian are the group of underage girls, otherwise Xiao Xian would still be very confident.

However, if Xiao Xian can really prove his influence in New York, make all the politicians in New York State become his own people, and become the real boss of the New York faction, Xiao Xian will be qualified to break his own ceiling.

"I heard from the staff that she is waiting for you backstage. I'll take you there." George Stacy happily took Xiao Xian to the backstage. His daughter was really capable and it was worth the opportunity he had fought for.

"Dad?" Gwen saw her dad and Xiao Xian coming together. She immediately felt embarrassed after putting on heavy makeup. "You didn't go home?"

"Don't be nervous. You are an adult. Dad is not as old-fashioned as you think. Your dad is also a man of experience. When I was your age, I often stayed out all night." George Stacy winked at Gwen, then said to Xiao Xian, "I have something to do, so I'll leave first. Have fun."
