American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 130

In an instant, Xiao Xian absorbed numerous forces of fear, the two strongest of which were the fear of the dying male agent and the fear of Hawkeye.

The other agents around were also terrified by the male agent's death, but their level of fear power was not high enough to be contained or absorbed by the soul. Once Xiao Xian's body was full of fear power, it could only overflow.

The most essential part of the fear power of the male agent and Hawkeye was stored in Xiao Xian's soul, and a trace of it was directly transformed into nourishment to nourish Xiao Xian's soul.

No wonder Pennywise wasn't very interested in killing ordinary people, had little patience for better prey and would kill them directly, but would patiently play with delicious prey, and was full of interest in Xiao Xian.

For the Death Ray, the fear stored within Pennywise's body is meaningless; only what can be stored in the soul has any effect. What Death truly desires is what can elevate the soul.

In the analogy of a game, the power of fear stored within Pennywise is like in-game currency, specifically in a game like Diablo III where there's a severe over-issuance of currency. In the late game, you might have hundreds of billions or even trillions of that currency that you can't spend and it's practically useless. When playing a game, especially in the late game, you might not even want to pick it up.

Fear stored in the soul is like points, platinum coins, or primal stones—it's something relatively precious. When encountering monsters that drop it, or completing quests, one will generally try to do so.

Fear that can elevate the soul is equivalent to a cash reward, and a high one at that, which can improve the player's real life. As long as the reward is this kind, even if the task is troublesome, or even if it may lead to the death of one's character or ban, one is willing to give it a try.

"No!" Seeing Xiao Xian turn his gaze back to him, Hawkeye shouted hurriedly, threw down the bow in his other hand, and, enduring the pain, raised both hands, or rather, both arms, to admit defeat.

"Kneel down~" Looking at the pleading Hawkeye, Xiao Xian's eyes glowed red, but his heat vision did not shoot out.

Hawkeye hesitated for a moment, glancing at his men around him. Then, the next second, a bright red light flashed in Xiao Xian's eyes, and Hawkeye immediately knelt down on the ground.

"It's too late." Without hesitation, Xiao Xian burned Hawkeye's other hand off with his burning gaze.

"Ahhh~ Please~ have mercy on me!" Kneeling on the ground, under the threat of death, Hawkeye abandoned his dignity and kowtowed for mercy, enduring the pain.

"Look up," Xiao Xian said to Hawkeye after he had kowtowed several times.

After hesitating for a moment, Hawkeye raised his head and saw two beams of heat flying toward his head.

"I'm doomed!" Hawkeye cried out in his heart, his pants were soaked with fear. However, the heat vision that Xiao Xian emitted only caused Hawkeye's eyes to burn with pain, making him unable to see anything, but it did not kill Hawkeye.

"Hawk Eye~ Hah~ Can a blind Hawkeye still be called Hawkeye?" Xiao Xian kicked Hawkeye to the ground and then stepped on his head.

"That's it, very good. Keep the fear and hatred in your heart. Otherwise, I will kill you without mercy."

"Ugh~" Hawkeye nodded frantically in terror after swallowing a mouthful of sand, fearing that Xiao Xianyi's gaze would kill him as soon as he felt a fever.

"Next up are you guys. Anyone want to avenge Hawkeye or...that guy?" Xiao Xian patted his clothes as if he had crushed an ant, and looked at the remaining agents.

The remaining agents shook their heads repeatedly. "No," they said.

"Very good, you know what to say, right?" Xiao Xian nodded and looked at the remaining agents.

"Of course, Hawkeye and this guy were ungrateful and attacked you. You had no choice but to act in self-defense to protect yourself," an agent quickly said. "It's only a few thousand dollars. Why risk your life?"

"Very well, but to prevent you from going back on your word, I need to take some precautions. Give me your girlfriend's or wife's phone number. Anyone who dares to talk nonsense will end up like Hawkeye." Xiao Xian pointed at the agent who had spoken and said, "It starts with you."

"." Under Xiao Xian's gaze, the agent who had spoken reluctantly took out his phone and gave the number to Xiao Xian.

After successfully making the call, Xiao Xian chatted casually for a couple of minutes before hanging up after confirming that the other party had become his ardent fan. Now, even if he set up a witness plan or something, it would be useless. The agent's wife would come looking for him on her own. Xiao Xian wouldn't even need to do anything. As long as this person showed any signs of being unfavorable to Xiao Xian, she might just be taken care of.

Interestingly, during this process, Xiao Xian obtained a kind of fear that could be absorbed by the soul from the agent who was speaking. Although it was not as strong as the male agent's fear before his death, it was still quite good. Fear that could strengthen the soul, even if it was only a little bit, was very precious.

Next, Xiao Xian asked the two agents for their phone numbers one by one. Unfortunately, this time the two were not afraid. It seems they don't truly love their wives or girlfriends. Ugh, scumbags.

When it was the fourth agent's turn, the very young agent stammered to Xiao Xian, "I don't have a girlfriend yet."

After glancing at the young agent's handsome features, Xiao Xian thought for a moment and said, "Giving him your mother's phone number will do."

"What if there isn't one either?" The young agent paused for a moment, then asked cautiously.

"See that one lying on the ground?" Xiao Xian asked in return.

"Here you go," the young agent said quickly, handing the phone number to Xiao Xian.

After making the call and exchanging a few words, Xiao Xian looked at the young agent and said, "Your mom said you have a goddess you've been chasing since you were a child."

"But I couldn't catch up with him," the young agent quickly shook his head.

"That's because you're incompetent. What's wrong with young people? Why do you have to be a simp? Give me your phone number, and let me show you just how proactive your reserved goddess can be in front of others," Xiao Xian said disdainfully, while simultaneously sensing the young agent's fear surge, almost matching that of the male agent on his deathbed.

"No~ You already have my mom's number." The young agent shook his head repeatedly, his head bobbing like a rattle.

"Then I'll have your mom give me her phone number, but if that happens, I won't care whether you know what's good for you or not. After all, you didn't give me the phone number, she's not your girlfriend, and she has nothing to do with you."

Xiao Xian threatened, this person seemed capable of extracting more fear from him, and besides, simps don't get anything good, Xiao Xian had no sympathy for simps. Disrupting the market, that's exactly what this kind of person is like. According to his mother, he's even gotten into more than one fight because someone didn't give way to his goddess. This kind of simp who not only cowards himself, but also expects others to be cowards like him is the most annoying.

"Don't hurt her, she's a good girl." The young agent hesitated for a moment, but still handed the phone number to Xiao Xian.

"She's already had an abortion," Xiao Xian said, his lips twitching slightly. Such is the diversity of humanity.
