American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 294: Sea King? Green King? (Two chapters in one)
The Gotham Bay Port was particularly busy and lively today. On the vast sea were several luxurious ships from Atlantis, their hulls shining with a unique blue-green light, symbolizing the high technology and prosperity of the deep sea kingdom of Atlantis.

Bruce Wayne and his team greeted them at the port. Bruce, wearing a well-cut black suit, stood at the front, with Selina Kyle and Xiao Xian beside him. Selina was wearing a gorgeous long dress, elegant and charming; Xiao Xian was wearing a gray suit, with extraordinary temperament.

Surrounding them were other Wayne Enterprises executives and reporters from major media outlets; the scene was grand and solemn.

While waiting at the port, Xiao Xian looked at the noisy scene around him, approached Bruce, and whispered, "Bruce, why didn't Superman come?"

Bruce was also puzzled: "Superman said that he had something urgent to do, so he couldn't attend today's welcome ceremony. It's really strange. Normally, he wouldn't miss such an opportunity to show up."

Superman wouldn't be afraid of seeing me and completely turning into an environmentalist, right? Xiao Xian thought to himself as he watched the slowly approaching Atlantis ship.

The ship slowly approached the shore, and the sea king Arthur Curry and the sea queen Mera stood at the bow, looking majestic. Arthur was wearing golden armor and holding a trident, looking majestic and solemn; Mera was wearing a green tights and a crown, showing nobility and elegance. Following behind the two was the Atlantis delegation, each of whom was wearing exquisite dresses and had a confident smile on their faces.

Xiao Xian looked at Mera who was slowly walking towards him and felt relieved. The Mera in this world was not only beautiful and had a good figure, but also not the Mera in the Aquaman movie. Otherwise, when looking at Amber's face, Xiao Xian would always think of his divorce lawsuit with his ex-husband Captain Jack.

Today, Mera wore a green tights that perfectly outlined her slender and plump figure. Her red hair was like a burning flame, waving down her shoulders, dazzling and eye-catching. Her eyes were as blue as the deep sea, with a mysterious and charming temperament.

Mera was full of confidence and elegance in every step, fully demonstrating the demeanor and style of the queen of Atlantis. In the breeze, her red hair danced in the wind, like a beautiful painting.

But when Xiao Xian thought that Neptune had such a beautiful wife but still went out to play with fish, he couldn't hold himself back.

Mera looked around with a smile on her face, her eyes revealing an innate confidence. As a member of the royal family and the queen of Atlantis, Mera had a natural sense of superiority over humans.

In the eyes of the Atlanteans, the people on land were not only backward in civilization, but also destroyed the marine environment. If it weren't for the fact that humans had superhumans such as Superman, Xiao Xian, Professor X, and gods such as Wonder Woman, Zeus, and Thor to protect humans, Atlantis would have sent troops to attack humans long ago.

Mera looked around with a smile on her face. When she found that Superman didn't come, her smile was filled with arrogance and disdain, as if these mortals were not worth her even a glance.

In Mera's eyes, in the human world, only Superman, Xiao Xian and a few others are enough to attract her attention. Others, even Bruce Wayne, are just businessmen in Mera's eyes.

Mera thought that these ordinary people could not compare with the noble blood of Atlantis. She looked at the welcoming crowd with contempt, secretly laughing at the insignificance and ignorance of these mortals.

As a member of the royal family, Mera looked down on merchants like Bruce. If it was in Atlantis, a word from Mera would kill a merchant like Bruce and Bruce would have to thank her. As for the other workers who worked for Bruce, let alone.

Although Mera also knew that in the operating rules of Ah Lijia, merchants had a high status and were one of the country's real ruling classes, but in Mera's eyes Ah Lijia was just a broken place with backward technology. She still gave Ah Lijia a little face because of Superman.

If Alica had a king, Mera might be able to barely treat him as a member of the same class as herself, but one of the ruling class
In Mera's eyes, Bruce is equivalent to a high-ranking official in other kingdoms, and a high-ranking official who has risen to power through business activities. Although he holds national power, he has to bow when he sees her.

At this moment, she noticed a human looking at her with lustful eyes - Xiao Xian. Xiao Xian's eyes wandered over her body without any concealment, full of admiration and praise.

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Meila's eyes, she frowned and glared at Xiao Xian coldly. Her eyes were like a cold blade, full of warning and disdain.

However, Xiao Xian didn't care about Mera's gaze. Instead, he smiled slightly and seemed particularly calm. Ever since he had super charm, Xiao Xian's gaze has always been very direct and he has even become accustomed to it. It was mainly because the girls looked at Xiao Xian more directly, confessed their love on the spot, and some were even more outrageous.

Besides, Mera is nothing in Xiao Xian's eyes. She is the queen of Atlantis. There is not much plot involved, but her identity as queen feels quite exciting.

Although Xiao Xian had played the role of queen many times in the other world, they were all humans, and he had never tried to play the role of an Atlantean queen.

Also, Bruce has almost fallen, so even if he is exposed now, it’s not a big deal.

Mera was unhappy when she saw this, but she couldn't lose her temper in front of the delegation and the media, so she could only continue to be polite and elegant.

As the queen of Atlantis, it would be too degrading to accuse one of Bruce Wayne's servants of looking at her with a lewd look in front of the Atlantean and human media.

Mera continued to walk towards the welcoming team, each step she took was filled with the aura of a king. Although she felt a little unhappy, she still won the attention and admiration of everyone present with her charming smile and noble temperament.

Bruce led the team forward to greet Aquaman and Aquaman. They smiled and shook hands with each other, exchanging polite greetings.

"Welcome to Gotham, Arthur, Mera," Bruce said warmly, "We are honored to have you here."

Arthur smiled and responded, "Thank you, Bruce. We are also very happy to be here, and hope that this visit will deepen the friendship between Atlantis and humans."

In front of the media, although she was disdainful in her heart, Mera still smiled and nodded: "Yes, Gotham is a charming city. We look forward to cooperating with Wayne Enterprises."

At this moment, the cameras of all major media were focused on this grand welcoming ceremony. Flashbulbs kept flashing as reporters recorded this historic moment.

After the courtesy ceremony was almost over, Aquaman took Mera and Bruce into the conference room for negotiations. The lights in the conference room were soft, Bruce sat in the main seat, and Aquaman and Mera sat on both sides. The atmosphere of the negotiation was a little tense, and Mera's eyes were full of doubts and vigilance.

After discovering that her husband had always favored Bruce, Mera asked directly, "Bruce, I'm curious, what do you know about Arthur that makes him favor you so much?"

Upon hearing this, Aquaman immediately looked at Bruce with pleading eyes, as if asking him not to reveal the secret.

Mera continued uncompromisingly: "If you don't tell me what kind of leverage you have over Arthur, I will never help him, let alone agree to the cooperation between Atlantis and Wayne Group."

Bruce calmly took out a few photos from his briefcase and pushed them in front of Mera. In the photos, Aquaman and several fish were playing cards together, which was extremely embarrassing and unbearable.

After Mera saw it, a trace of shock and disgust flashed in her eyes, and she cried out: "Arthur, you are so disgusting!" Aquaman lowered his head helplessly, with a pleading voice: "Mera, I know I was wrong, please forgive me."

Bruce said calmly:
"Mera, you and Aquaman are now tied to the same rope. If these photos are released, Aquaman will lose his status as king of Atlantis. And if Aquaman loses his status as king, or you divorce Aquaman, then you will lose your status as queen and it will be impossible for you to continue to rule Atlantis. You can only return to the Kingdom of Xebel and be a princess without real power."

Mera looked at Aquaman angrily and said coldly: "Arthur, I will never let you touch me again in this life."

Then, she turned to Bruce and said in a cold tone, "I will provide limited help, but you must destroy all the photos and materials and promise never to threaten us with this again. Otherwise, there will be no deal."

"I promise." Bruce nodded solemnly.

"I need a more reliable guarantee. You land people are despicable and shameless. We must sign an ancient contract."

Bruce frowned slightly, but quickly regained his composure: "Ancient contract? What do you mean?"

Mera took out an ancient parchment from a storage treasure she carried with her. The paper was covered with complex runes and words. She spread the parchment on the table, pointed at the contract and said:

"This is a long-standing magical contract in Atlantis, used to guarantee the commitment of both parties. As long as we sign this contract and swear an oath, those who violate it will be severely punished by the sea god."

Bruce looked at the parchment carefully. Although he didn't fully understand the runes on it, he knew that it was something extremely serious and sacred to Mera. He nodded: "Okay, let's sign."

Aquaman stood aside, watching all this with a complicated expression.

Mera took out a special feather pen, dipped it in special ink, and handed it to Bruce: "You sign first."

Bruce took the quill, thought for a moment, and signed his name on the contract. Then, he handed the quill to Mera. Mera looked at Bruce's signature, a hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes, and then she also signed her name on the contract.

Finally, Aquaman picked up the feather pen, was silent for a while, and signed his name on the contract.

After the signing was completed, both parties swore an oath in the name of Poseidon. After the ceremony was completed, Mera rolled up the parchment and put it back into the small bag. She looked at Bruce coldly: "Now, your promise is binding. I hope you can keep your promise."

Bruce nodded: "I will keep my promise."

"I will assist Arthur. You two can discuss the details. I don't want to stay with a despicable human like you and a half-human bastard like you for even a second!"

Mera stood up and slapped Aquaman in the face, then turned and left the meeting room. Aquaman sighed helplessly and could only watch her leave helplessly.

After Mera left, Aquaman sat in a chair in despair, covering his face with his hands and sighing deeply: "Bruce, can you help me? Help me persuade Mera, I hope she can forgive me."

Bruce frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Arthur, there's nothing I can do about this. Who told you to go to the aquarium to 'play with fish' when you have nothing to do?"

Aquaman sighed helplessly again after hearing this, his eyes full of regret: "Mera will never forgive me in this life."

Bruce looked at Aquaman. Aquaman and Mera's discord was not good for him, especially since he was forced to sign the agreement and could not use it to threaten Aquaman in the future. Bruce said with a turn of his eyes:

"It's not that there is no way. I have a way that may make Mera forgive you."

Aquaman's eyes lit up immediately when he heard this: "What method? Bruce, I'm willing to do anything as long as Mera can forgive me."

Bruce Wayne smiled calmly: "This is easy. Let her make a mistake as big as yours. Then she won't have any right to blame you."

Aquaman was stunned for a moment, then said, "A bigger mistake? But the problem is that Mera is cautious and rarely makes mistakes. And even if she makes a mistake, how can her mistake be as big as mine?"

Bruce smiled even more deeply when he heard this: "In the eyes of you Atlanteans, which one is lower-class, humans or fish?"

Aquaman said awkwardly: "In the eyes of most Atlanteans, fish are probably cleaner than humans."

Bruce Wayne then asked: "So what about Mera's eyes?"

Aquaman thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "In Mera's eyes, humans and fish are not on the same level at all. She definitely hates humans more. To tell you the truth, because of my half-human ancestry, she is even unwilling to sleep with me until now. Are you sick because of me? You don't want to play with such a beautiful wife but play with fish. I am the one at home who doesn't let me play."

Bruce nodded, "I think if Mera won't let you, there's no need for you to go to the aquarium even if you go to the traffic light. Anyway, if something happens between Mera and a human, she won't have the right to blame you anymore."

Aquaman's expression became complicated. It was obvious that this plan shocked and difficult for him to accept. He looked at Bruce Wayne in shock and said:

"But is this really appropriate? I let a human have something happen to my wife??!! Is what Bruce said on the Internet true? Have you really become an environmentalist?"

"." Bruce felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Aquaman said, but this made him more determined to take off Aquaman's clothes and go into the water. Then the elder brother would not laugh at the younger brother. "Don't worry about it. Just tell me if this method is useful or not? Or do you have any other better ideas?"

"Well, um, but right? Let me think about it." Aquaman was very conflicted. He really didn't want to do this, but it seemed that there was no other way.

Mera, the Sea King, hasn't even tasted the soup herself, but she wants others to taste it first? It would be fine if she was ugly, but Mera is so beautiful, a great beauty, and she looks like a queen.

Aquaman is Aquaman, not Crimson King. Who can stand this except Bruce? Aquaman looked at Bruce who was excited and thought that the rumors on the Internet must be true. Bruce definitely let Abin and his wife Selina get together. I wonder if I can let Bruce do the same.
