American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 99 The Most Popular Superhero
Barry stood there, staring at Iris blankly, the pizza box in his hand seemed to become heavy. His gaze shifted from Iris to Xiao Xian, and then back to Iris. His expression was complicated, as if he had experienced countless changes of emotions in just a few seconds.

Finally, Barry took a deep breath, forced out a smile that was more painful than crying and said to Iris.

"Iris, I understand. I didn't mean to disturb you, I just wanted to give you a little surprise. Since you have more important things to do now, I won't stay any longer."

Barry turned around and prepared to leave, but before taking the first step, he couldn't help but look back and said to Iris and Xiao Xian: "Iris, no matter what happens, I hope you can be happy. Xiao Xian, take good care of her and make her happy."

After saying this, Barry Allen turned and left. His figure quickly disappeared into the night, leaving only the box of pizza brought from Italy quietly on the table.

"Is this possible?" Xiao Xian found that the development of the plot was beyond his expectations.

"He's not good enough and can't make me happy. Is he going to stop me from finding someone who can make me happy?" Iris said disdainfully as she looked in the direction Barry left.
"Don't be fooled by his bravery on TV. He is actually a coward. He never dared to fight back when he was beaten up. He could only run away. If I hadn't seen him become a superhero and my ex-boyfriend, a policeman, died in the line of duty, I would definitely look down on him."

"But if you want happiness, it seems like you've found the wrong person. You know me. I have no plans to find a girlfriend." Xiao Xian said while hugging Iris, his hands working non-stop.

"I know, but I'm very happy now." After saying that, Iris took the initiative to ask Xiao Xian for a kiss.

"It's really hard to understand these people's train of thought unless you see it with your own eyes." On the private plane borrowed from a rich friend, waiting for the take-off time arranged by the airport, the White Queen recalled the situation at Iris's house just now and still felt it was incredible. What on earth is going on in the Flash's brain?

"Who knows? Human diversity never disappoints me." Xiao Xian shrugged.

"That Iris is also a bitch. When she said she was with the Flash for money and fame, she wasn't lying." The White Queen flattered Iris.

"To be honest, apart from the money and fame, I find it hard to understand why Iris likes this Flash."

Xiao Xian thought about the appearance of the Flash he saw at the party. If he knew him, he would have thought he was a hippie who had taken too many photos of The Flash and was cosplaying as The Flash. If he didn't know him, he would have thought he was a hippie who had taken too many photos of The Flash.

If we have to say what Iris likes about The Flash, it would probably be his deep affection for Iris. He had a crush on her since childhood, and even when he grew up and became a superhero and was surrounded by beautiful women, he still remembered his original intention. He was willing to leave the house with nothing after the divorce, and even after the divorce, he still cared about her in various ways.

But as the saying goes, a dog who licks will end up with nothing. Someone who licks so humbly like the Flash will never win Iris's heart. It's not right that no one falls in love with a humble person except McDonald's. McDonald just likes himself to be humble, not that others like to be humble to him.

"I discovered a secret when I read the Flash's mind." The White Queen leaned close to Xiao Xian's ear and said

"When the Flash saw you and Iris being intimate, an idea flashed through his mind. He should have known better than to kill Iris's ex-boyfriend, the policeman. At least he was a good person and was nice enough to Iris. Now the Flash himself is not doing well, and the ex-boyfriend, the policeman, is dead, and Iris is actually being picked up by a scumbag like you."

"Ah, this. Iris also told me that he was a coward who didn't even dare to kill a chicken. He was so scared by the super villain on the set who was covered in red syrup that his legs went weak and he went home to have nightmares. And what scumbag, it was obviously Iris who tricked me into her house under the pretext of a tour, and asked me to help try out the quality of the underwear she wanted to buy. I was just happy to help." "Iris didn't lie to you. At least she really thought so." The White Queen replied.

"Wait~ Why does my phone suddenly have so many messages?" Xiao Xian heard the notification tone of his phone and took it out from his pocket. Mary Jane, Aunt May, Taylor Swift and a bunch of people he knew and even stranger sent messages to congratulate him on becoming the most popular superhero.

"Ah? Let's not talk about the third and fourth. Isn't Superman, who is in the first place, way ahead of me? And Batman, who is in the second place, is also much taller than me."

Xiao Xian was a little confused when he saw the congratulatory message on his phone. Previously, relying on a large number of female fans, Xiao Xian quickly rushed to the list of the most popular superheroes. However, because of the fans of male stars who were cheated on and the boyfriends of female fans who gave low scores, Xiao Xian's ranking has always fluctuated between third and fifth place.

But Superman, who is in first place, and Batman, who is in second place, have always been far ahead in popularity. Especially Superman, as the strongest superhero, has always firmly occupied the first place, and his data is far ahead of the second place.

"Let me see." The White Queen searched for relevant information, then covered her mouth in shock and exclaimed, "This is too outrageous!"

"No, what's wrong?" Xiao Xian asked curiously.

"Superman, Superman actually did such a thing?" The White Queen said in an incredible tone.

As she spoke, the White Queen turned the screen of her mobile phone towards Xiao Xian, and saw the news headline prominently displayed: "Superman's cheating scandal broke out, having an affair with a married woman aged 55!"

"Ah?" Looking at the news headline, Superman had a look of joy on his face, as if he had found a treasure, and walked into the room hand in hand with a woman in her fifties with obvious nasolabial folds, with ambiguous manners. Xiao Xian was confused. Not only did this woman have the same personality as A-Zu, but even their hobbies matched?

"This woman seems to be the class teacher of Superman's child." The White Queen added to Xiao Xian, "Superman's ranking has plummeted and has now been adjusted to third place. Wayne Group claims that this is an artificially synthesized video and will prosecute the rumormonger according to law. I hope everyone will not believe this ridiculous rumor."

"Ah, this... this is too abstract, isn't it?" Xiao Xian's mouth twitched. As we all know, an official denial is as good as a hammer. It's okay for Superman to cheat on a married woman, but he cheated on someone with such life experience, which really affected his popularity.

"The media is spreading this story everywhere, especially the New York media. It should be the New York companies that took action. Now Superman has dropped to third place in the list of the most popular superheroes, and his overall score is still declining." said the White Queen
"And someone has revealed audio evidence of a Wayne Group executive trying to bribe a ranking website executive in an attempt to buy votes for Superman."

"No, Superman dropped to third place, so I should only be second. How come I am first?" Xiao Xian asked curiously.

"Oh, your female fans organized a campaign to vote for you 'for the one they love'. There are also rumors that, as if to humiliate Superman and Bruce, many New York companies helped you to increase your scores and make you the most popular superhero." The White Queen replied, "I heard that they even asked a website to give you the most popular superhero award."

"I think it's better to forget it. Isn't this just pushing me into the fire pit?" Xiao Xian shook his head quickly when he heard that.
