American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 277 Bruce! What are you doing?

After finishing his business, Bruce dragged his tired body back to the bedroom door.

As soon as his hand touched the door handle, he heard a familiar sound. Bruce stopped and listened carefully, and found that it was the sound of Xiao Xian and his wife Selina playing cards in the bedroom.

But Bruce was not angry at all, instead he felt inexplicably excited. He quickly put his ear close to the crack of the door, trying to eavesdrop on their conversation. Unfortunately, the bedroom's soundproofing was too good, Bruce could only hear some vague sounds, and it was difficult to make out the specific content.

Bruce could only vaguely hear Xiao Xian's voice asking Selina: "Who's a better poker player, me or Bruce Wayne? Who do you like better?"

Although the person who played cards with Selina at night was actually Xiao Xian disguised as himself, Bruce's heart still beat faster and he was eager to know Selina's answer.

However, no matter how hard he listened, he could only hear vague sounds. Bruce's palms were sweating, and he was eager to hear Selina's answer.

Time passed by minute by minute, Bruce almost pressed his whole body against the door, but he still couldn't hear Selina's answer. Bruce sighed helplessly, and for the first time in his heart he regretted that the soundproofing material of his bedroom was too good. He even had an impulse to open the door immediately and ask Selina her answer in person.

But in the end, Bruce suppressed the urge and stood at the door quietly eavesdropping.

After more than ten minutes, Bruce suddenly could not hear any sound from inside the room. He became even more anxious and put his ear almost against the door, trying to catch any faint sound.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened. Xiao Xian stood at the door, looking at Bruce in surprise, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Mr. Wayne, what are you doing?"

Bruce was at a loss for a moment, and quickly glanced around the room, only to find that Selina hadn't noticed him. She was lying on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, probably because she was too tired.

Bruce breathed a sigh of relief and quickly signaled Xiao Xian to close the door. After the door was closed again, he anxiously asked, "What was Selina's answer just now?"

Xiao Xian raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion: "What answer?"

Bruce explained eagerly, "You asked her who was better at playing cards between you and me, what was Selina's answer?"

Xiao Xian looked at Bruce in surprise and asked, "When did you come? How long have you been listening outside the door?"

Bruce glared at Xiao Xian impatiently and urged, "Don't worry about that. Just tell me what Selina's answer was. Does she think you are more powerful or me?"

Xiao Xian shrugged and said helplessly, "What's the difference? I was the one who played cards with Selina last night and just now. As for your past self, didn't Selina say last night that she thought I was better? Compared to me now, your past self is nothing but trash."

Bruce's face turned red with anger when he heard Xiao Xian's answer. He glared at Xiao Xian and said angrily, "How do you talk to your boss like that? How dare you call me a waste?"

Xiao Xian sighed and responded helplessly: "It's not my fault. These are the words of your wife Selina."

Bruce was speechless for a moment, and could only say firmly: "I don't care, you must respect the boss when talking to him." Xiao Xian nodded helplessly: "Okay, I understand."

Bruce nodded with satisfaction and then asked, "Why did you come out so suddenly? Aren't you going to continue playing cards with Selina?"

Xiao Xian smiled bitterly and said, "I would like to continue playing cards with Selina, but as you can see, she is already exhausted. I think she will break down if she continues playing. She must rest for a while."

Bruce pondered for a moment and said, "I have a potion to restore your strength."

Xiao Xian glanced at Bruce and shook his head: "But how can I give this potion to Selina? This is not something that an ordinary assistant like me can get."

Bruce nodded and admitted, "That's true." He thought for a moment, then said, "Well, let me find an excuse to give the potion to Selina later."

Xiao Xian nodded and agreed: "This is best."

Bruce turned and walked towards his study, opened a hidden safe, and took out a box of various medicines, including a potion to restore physical strength. He carefully checked the medicine, and after confirming that it was correct, he closed the safe and walked towards Selina's room.

Bruce opened the door gently. Selina heard the sound of the door opening and thought it was Xiao Xian. She looked at the door happily. However, when she saw it was Bruce, a hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes. But she quickly adjusted her expression and asked with a smile, "Honey, are you done?"

Bruce smiled and shook his head. "No, it's just that the company has developed a batch of special medicines. I thought you must be very tired from filming movies and TV series, so I thought you might be able to use some of the medicines here. For example, the green one is a recovery potion. After drinking it, you can quickly restore your physical strength and spirit. The yellow one is an anti-fatigue potion, and the purple one is a special hypnotic potion. You only need one or two drops of the medicine to take effect."

Selina looked at the box of medicine, her eyes sparkling with joy: "Great, I will definitely be able to use these medicines."

Bruce smiled and handed her the medicine box: "Great. This box of medicine is for you. I'll continue to work." After that, Bruce gently stroked Selina's hair and left the room.

Inside the room, Selina looked at the medicine box in her hand, feeling a lot of emotions in her heart. She knew Bruce cared about her, but she couldn't ignore the throbbing in her heart. She took out the green potion for physical recovery, gently dripped a few drops into her mouth, and felt the physical strength gradually recovering in her body, so that she could fight again.

Selina just didn't believe it. After all, she was a superhero with much more physical strength than ordinary people. Now she had recovery potions. Even if Xiao Xian had good equipment and strong skills, he was just an ordinary person after all. He might be able to defeat such a powerful boss like herself four or five times, but eight or nine or even a dozen times would not be possible, right?
Apart from anything else, physical strength is also a problem. Although... Selina looked at the potion in the box. If Xiao Xian didn't have enough physical strength, she would definitely give this potion to Xiao Xian.

After leaving the room, Bruce walked to the corner outside the room, where Xiao Xian was still waiting. He whispered to Xiao Xian:

"The stamina potion has been given to Selina. To prevent her from noticing something is wrong, you should wait a while before going in again."

Xiao Xian nodded and responded, "I understand, Mr. Wayne."
