American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 263: Attack of the Sea King

Ah Fu stood in front of Bruce's desk, his face heavy. He spoke slowly, "Master, there has been a massive boycott campaign online. After seeing Xiao Xian's repost, many female consumers have launched a boycott of Wayne Group. Not only that, many female employees of the company have also stood up because of this incident and exposed many of the company's scandals."

Bruce raised his head, frowning, "What exactly is the black material?"

Ah Fu sighed, tears flashing in his eyes, "Some allegations of sexual harassment in the workplace, and some allegations of human experiments and contraband. Financial institutions have predicted that the Wayne Group's stock price will plummet when the market opens tomorrow."

At this point, Ah Fu's voice began to tremble, and he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, "Master, this incident was caused by my negligence. If it weren't for me, I would be willing to turn myself in and take all the blame to restore the company's reputation."

Bruce felt a mixture of anger and helplessness when he heard this. He had a severe headache and slumped down in his chair, clutching his heart. He took a deep breath and said, "Afu, things haven't come to that point yet. But it seems like we can't get through this time without some ruthless moves."

He relaxed a little, sat up straight, and looked at Ah Fu with a firm gaze, "Help me contact the Sea King, I have something important to discuss with him."

Ah Fu nodded and wiped his tears, "Okay, Master, I'll contact him right away."

Bruce looked at Alfu's departing back with his eyes lowered.

Not long after, Alfu walked into the office with a call from Aquaman and handed the phone to Bruce with a complicated expression. Bruce took the phone and greeted, "Arthur, it's me, Bruce."

Aquaman's voice on the other end of the phone was a little sarcastic, "Bruce, I heard that you haven't been doing well recently. Are you going crazy because of a tweet forwarded by a superhero? It seems that you are not at the top of the human world as you boasted."

Bruce waved his hand, asked Alfu to leave, and then continued to speak to Aquaman on the phone.

"Arthur, I need your help this time. Tomorrow, you need to announce that Wayne Enterprises will be the only designated trading partner of Atlantis, and write a letter to the American government, stating that Wayne Enterprises is an important partner of Atlantis and that it will never accept that Wayne Enterprises employees are unfairly accused. Otherwise, Atlantis will not rule out the possibility of using force to defend the reputation of its partners."

Aquaman laughed loudly upon hearing this, his tone full of mockery.
"Bruce, are you out of your mind? Do you really think that you are the boss of the Justice League and can order us around? I'm just acting for you and promoting Atlantis, but you really think you are the brain of the league?"

Bruce just smiled faintly when he heard this, and then said, "On the night of December 2013, , at the Deep Sea Aquarium."

Aquaman's laughter stopped abruptly, and there was a hint of confusion in his voice, "Why do you bring this up all of a sudden?"

Bruce tapped the table lightly and continued, "You really don't remember? Let me recall for you. That day you first fell in love with a dolphin, then played with an octopus, and finally ran to the shark tank."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, and then Aquaman's voice was filled with panic and anger, "You followed me?"

Bruce still maintained a calm tone and smiled faintly, "I just added a little thing to your Aquaman uniform. I didn't expect to get such interesting photos. If these things were spread out, can you still continue to be the king of Atlantis?"

Aquaman's anger seemed to be about to explode, his voice was low and threatening, "Bruce, you are playing with fire."

Bruce's eyes were sharp, and he did not back down. "Arthur, I don't want to be your enemy, but I have to protect my people and my business. If you help me this time, I can guarantee that these things will never see the light of day." Aquaman on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time. Finally, there was a hint of helplessness and compromise in his voice. "Okay, Bruce, I will do as you say. But remember, this is just an exception, and it won't happen again."

Bruce nodded and said, "Thank you, Arthur. I will remember this favor."

"Thank you *****!" Aquaman cursed and hung up the phone.

The next day, TV stations were scrambling to report the news that Wayne Enterprises had become the only designated trading partner of Atlantis.

Related reports kept flashing on the TV screen, and the host described this breaking news in an excited tone:

"Wayne Enterprises has reached a strategic cooperation with Atlantis and has become its only designated trading partner. This news will undoubtedly have a profound impact on the global economy. However, some experts are worried that Atlantis' advanced technology will lead to economic colonization of the Earth. Affected by this, the Wayne Group's stock, which had fallen sharply at the opening, rose against the trend and has not only returned to its historical high, but is also continuing to rise."

Xiao Xian and Harley Quinn sat in the luxurious living room, the light of the TV shining on their faces. Harley turned off the TV and turned to look at Xiao Xian with a worried look on her face: "Xiao Xian, will this affect our plan?"

Xiao Xian smiled faintly when he heard this, took out his phone from his pocket and handed it to Harley. On the phone screen was a screenshot of a secret notice sent by the King of Atlantis, Aquaman, to the top officials of the American government today.

Harley took the phone and read the contents carefully. Her expression became more serious. "What is this? The King of Atlantis personally came forward to protect Wayne Enterprises?"

Xiao Xian leaned back on the sofa and said, "Yes, that's what I mean."

Harry put down his phone, frowned, and said nervously, "What should we do? The technology of Atlantis is much more advanced than that of humans."

Xiao Xian smiled calmly, his eyes revealing confidence:

"It's useless. Atlantis is no match for humans. Do you think that Atlantis in this world is so much more technologically advanced than humans, but it allows humans to destroy the ocean because it loves peace? Apart from anything else, if it weren't for performance considerations, I would slightly relax the space protection of the Atlantis area and let two big demons go there at random, which would be enough to give Atlantis a hard time."

"So what do we do next?" Harry asked.

"It's very simple. Publish the contents of the letter and then let the reporters ask Superman." Xiao Xian said casually, "How dare Atlantis do this?"

Harry asked curiously: "Ask him what?"

Xiao Xian picked up the red wine, took a sip, and said leisurely, "Just ask what he would do if Atlantis invaded the United States. Even Superman was defeated, and he still threatens to invade with force?"
