American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 133 Basic Skills Must Not Be Neglected

Xiao Xian set a three-day mission objective for a simple reason: Daredevil couldn't extract enough quality Fear Power right now, so he needed to give him hope and a break. That way, if Daredevil didn't complete the mission after three days, Xiao Xian could extract another wave of Fear Power from him.

If Daredevil completes the mission, Xiao Xian will not only be able to find Pepper Potts and annoy Iron Man, but also assign Daredevil some other missions and make more money off him.

Anyway, Xiao Xian bullied Daredevil without any psychological pressure, and even felt that he had finally done something that was in line with the identity of a superhero.

After draining Daredevil's power of fear, Xiao Xian found several lucky criminals in Hell's Kitchen and sent them to Hell. Xiao Xian finally gathered the power of fear needed to envelop his own soul.

"Xiao Xian~ You're here, I was so scared~" As soon as she saw Xiao Xian fly in through the window, the White Queen immediately rushed over and hugged him.

"You don't seem very afraid?" Xiao Xian didn't detect much fear from the White Queen.

"How do you know?" The White Queen looked at Xiao Xian curiously. She was indeed very scared at first, but after seeing Pennywise die at Xiao Xian's hands, and that the strange creature she had come into contact with couldn't do anything to Pennywise, the White Queen wasn't so afraid anymore.

"You can read minds, right? Why don't you try reading it?" Xiao Xian said, putting his arm around the White Queen.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't let me read your mind?" the White Queen asked, puzzled.

"Now you can try it out. I have a new superpower." Xiao Xian sat on the sofa, while the White Queen massaged his legs very considerately.

"Then I'll give it a try." After glancing at Xiao Xian and confirming that he wasn't wearing a helmet, the White Queen used telepathy on him.

Through telepathy, the White Queen saw Peter in a conscious state as Xiao Xianchun manually pulled out his fingernails. A surge of pure fear and panic flooded the White Queen's brain. If the White Queen's telepathy hadn't been so advanced, the emotional shock alone would have made her faint.

Even with the White Queen's current strength, being hit by this kind of impact would be extremely uncomfortable. The most crucial point is that this scene is not told from Xiao Xian's first-person perspective, but from Peter's.

Rubbing her temples, the White Queen quickly interrupted the telepathic reading and looked at Xiao Xiandao, saying, "I only read fragments of Peter Parker's memories of being experimented on by you, and they seem to contain a lot of fear?"

"It seems my new ability is working." Xiao Xian smiled. He had just sensed a spirit trying to break through the cloak of fear he had constructed, but it immediately retreated upon contact.

"You're amazing~" The White Queen's eyes were practically drooling as she looked at Xiao Xian. As a former member of the Brotherhood of Mutants and the Hellfire Club, the White Queen's personality was to admire the strong. The faster Xiao Xian's strength improved, the more she admired him.

"Show me the mark the strange creature made on you," Xiao Xian said to the White Queen, without going into detail about his abilities.

"Here it is." Upon hearing this, the White Queen immediately took off her uniform jacket, leaving only her white lace underwear underneath, and then pointed to a puzzle mark on her forearm.

"Is it really necessary to take off your coat? You can see it just by rolling up your sleeve, right?" Xiao Xian looked at the White Queen. Although he couldn't read minds, Xiao Xian was very certain that she was lusting after his body.

"Is it clearer this way?" the White Queen said coquettishly. "Besides, you've seen my body countless times, what's there to be embarrassed about?"

"Have you tried sealing your memories of Jigsaw?" Xiao Xian asked, looking at the jigsaw puzzle marks on the White Queen's hand.

"I tried, but it didn't work." The White Queen took off her slippers, put on her white stockings, stepped onto the sofa, and then lay on Xiao Xian's lap, her little feet swinging in the air.

"I used the method of faking my death to get rid of the mark, but this method should not be able to be replicated on you." Xiao Xian grabbed the White Queen's dangling foot and pulled her towards him.

"It hurts, it hurts so much!" the White Queen begged for mercy, feeling as if her back would break if she pulled any further.

"Let's talk business, stop thinking about paint." Xiao Xian released Bai Huanghou's feet. To be fair, these stockings felt pretty good.

"I can't help it, you're just too charming, I simply can't resist you." The White Queen lay on Xiao Xian's lap and couldn't help but reach out.

"Let's think about what to do first." Xiao Xian slapped the White Empress's hand back and pinched her cheek.

"Let's figure out what to do?" The White Queen perked up at this suggestion.

"Think of a solution first." Xiao Xian glanced at the White Queen, who was wearing a white lace suit today, looking very alluring.

"I didn't expect that." The White Queen thought for a moment, then said helplessly. She didn't know much about Jigsaw. The information in the minds of the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents was all about how Jigsaw tortured them. The only valuable thing was that after passing a test, they could have a week to catch their breath, and that no one who went in voluntarily survived.

"I've come up with a plan, but I don't know if it will work," Xiao Xian said, looking at Empress Bai.

"What method?" The White Queen looked at Xiao Xian, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Before you were dragged in, I went in and took care of Jigsaw myself," Xiao Xian said domineeringly.

"No, it's too dangerous to go in voluntarily," the White Queen objected. "That agent from S.H.I.E.L.D. has never gone in voluntarily before, and none of those who went in before him have survived."

"In chronological order, I was marked after you," Xiao Xian said, touching the puzzle mark on the White Queen's arm.

"Your superpowers don't allow you to protect yourself, and your defenses aren't high after you turn into diamond. It's too dangerous for you to be pulled in. I have to go in and deal with Jigsaw beforehand to ensure your safety."

Bringing the White Queen into the dungeon would only get in the way; women only slow down his attacks. Of course, Xiao Xian couldn't say this outright. The White Queen's favorability was already high, but there was no harm in raising it further. He could just keep raising it; saying nice things didn't cost anything.

Before he made up for his shortcomings in the soul aspect, Xiao Xian was not very afraid of Jigsaw, because he knew that Jigsaw basically killed people by physical means. Now that he has the Fear Power Cloak, Xiao Xian is even less afraid of Jigsaw. On the contrary, he is looking forward to getting missions from him.

Moreover, with the option to select people who can regenerate, Xiao Xian can simply run away again; it's not a big problem.

"Xiao Xian~" The White Queen looked at Xiao Xian with great emotion and said, "You are too good~ I don't deserve you to do this."

"No, you deserve it." Xiao Xian touched the White Queen's hair and blurted out without thinking. Although he had super charm, he hadn't neglected his basic skills.

The main reason is that Xiao Xian might encounter beauties like Scarlet Witch and Phoenix who are likely immune to his super charm in the future, so his basic skills will become important then.
