American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 252 The Clown's Head is Cuckolded

Xiao Xian looked at Ha Li and said, "Don't get excited. Tell me what happened."

Harley took a deep breath and began to explain what she had just discovered. "It was the Joker." Her voice choked up for a moment, but soon returned to her angry tone, "He betrayed me! In front of everyone!"

Xiao Xian frowned and motioned for Harry to continue.

"We should teach him a lesson," Harley gritted her teeth. "We should go crazy too and send him the video. Let him feel the betrayal!"

After listening to this, Xiao Xian tried to calm the agitated Harley. "Calm down, Harley. Maybe there is some misunderstanding? The Joker may have his own reasons."

Harry sneered and took out his phone. "Misunderstanding? Take a look for yourself."

She turned her phone screen towards Xiao Xian. The screen showed a live broadcast: the clown was playing cards with Anna, with a happy smile on his face.

"Does he look like he has a reason for doing so?" Harry said sarcastically. "He was clearly not coerced, but he was happily playing cards with others. Does this need any explanation?"

After hearing what Harley said, Xiao Xian spread his hands helplessly:
"Harry, you don't seem to have any right to blame him for this. Didn't you play cards with me until late last night?"

Harley frowned when she heard this. She stared at the happy faces of the Joker and Anna on the phone screen and said through gritted teeth:
"I don't care about that! I'm very angry now and I just want to take revenge on him!"

Xiao Xian lazily leaned on the sofa, looking at Harley standing in front of him with a playful look. Harley felt a little uneasy at the moment under Xiao Xian's gaze.

Xiao Xian slowly said, "Harry, tell me the truth. Are you greedy for my body, so you make these excuses?"

This sentence was like a heavy hammer, instantly destroying Harley's disguise. Her originally straight back collapsed, and the anger on her face disappeared. She began to stammer and explain
"No, no. You misunderstood! I really just want to get revenge on the Joker. I don't want to play cards with you at all, really! There's no point in playing cards with you~ It's so boring."

Xiao Xian narrowed his eyes slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He deliberately dragged out his tone and said: "Really? If you really just want to take revenge on the clown and don't want to play cards with me..."

Xiao Xian paused, looking directly into Harley's eyes. "How about I find you another poker partner? I know a handsome and popular superhero who has signed a contract with Oscorp and his poker skills are not inferior to mine. Do you want to try?"

This sentence seemed to have touched a nerve in Harley. She raised her head suddenly, and a trace of panic flashed in her eyes. "No!" She almost blurted out, then realized that she was overreacting, and quickly added: "I mean I'm not that kind of casual person."

Harry bit his lower lip, as if he had made up his mind, and looked directly into Xiao Xian's eyes: "You can do it, but others can't! Especially Xiao Xian from Oscorp, absolutely not."

The man in front of her had great card skills but average looks, and Harley asked herself if she could resist him. He would only be unfaithful physically, not mentally. But if the world's most handsome superhero Xiao Xian came and had equally great card skills, Harley asked herself if she could resist him, not at all.

The room fell silent for a moment. Xiao Xian looked at Harley thoughtfully, as if he was thinking about the deep meaning of her words. Harley lowered her head, twisting her fingers nervously, as if she was waiting for the final judgment.

Xiao Xian looked at Harley with a meaningful smile on his face: "Oh? Didn't you say before that I was bored playing cards?"

Harley's cheeks flushed immediately after being exposed, and she avoided looking directly at Xiao Xian. She bit her lip, and seemed to be struggling internally, but finally admitted in a low voice: "Okay, I admit that your card skills are indeed very strong. Playing cards with you is quite interesting."

Xiao Xian raised his eyebrows and asked, "Oh? Is it more fun to play cards with me or with the Joker?" This question made Harley even more uneasy. She opened her mouth but could not make a sound. She just stammered and avoided Xiao Xian's gaze.

Seeing this, Xiao Xian gently spread his hands, with a hint of ridicule in his voice: "Well, since you don't want to say it, then I will take this as my second request to you. Remember, you must tell the truth."

Harry looked up suddenly, with a hint of surprise and hesitation in her eyes. She took a deep breath, as if to muster up her courage. Finally, she spoke, her voice was very soft, but it was particularly clear in the silent room: "It's you. You are better at playing cards, and it's more fun to play cards with you."

After saying this, Ha Li's face was completely red, like a ripe apple. She lowered her head, not daring to look at Xiao Xian's reaction, and twisted her fingers nervously.

Xiao Xian looked at Harley with interest. Harley was usually rebellious and flamboyant, but now she was as shy as a little girl.

Xiao Xian smiled slightly, with a hint of amusement in his eyes, and said, "Actually, I think you have already taken revenge on the clown."

This sentence made Harley raise her head suddenly, with a hint of surprise and confusion in her eyes. Her cheeks were still flushed, but her eyes were more determined.

"No!" Harry said eagerly, with a slight tremor in his voice, "We...we have to play cards."

Xiao Xian raised his eyebrows, seeming to be quite interested in Harley's reaction. He was about to speak, but Harley added:

"Besides," Harley bit her lower lip, as if to encourage herself, "we have to record it. I have to get my revenge by playing cards."

Xiao Xian chuckled, with a deep look in his eyes: "Okay, since you insist. But are you sure this is just to take revenge on the clown?"

Harley avoided Xiao Xian's inquiring gaze and muttered in a low voice: "Of course it's to take revenge on the Joker. What other reason could there be?"

The atmosphere in the room became more ambiguous. Xiao Xian looked at Harley with a half-smile, while Harley tried hard to hide her nervousness and anticipation.

Finally, Xiao Xian nodded gently: "Okay, since you insist so much, let's play a game of 'revenge'."

When Harley heard this, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes, but it was soon replaced by a calm demeanor. She said softly, "Then let's get started."

Xiao Xian raised a sly smile and shook his head gently: "Don't worry, Harley. We are still missing an important role."

Harley blinked in confusion: "What role?"

"Photographer," Xiao Xian said slowly, "Think about it, the Joker is using professional equipment, and has two cameras. You can't be outdone, right?"

Harley's eyes lit up instantly, and Xiao Xian's words obviously aroused her desire to win. She said excitedly: "You are right! We must not lose to that guy!"

Suddenly, Harley seemed to have thought of something, and a sly smile appeared on her face: "I know who to ask. We can ask Poison Ivy for help! I felt so uncomfortable when I was watching the card game yesterday, and she even made fun of me. Let her have a taste of what it feels like to watch the card game today."
