American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 165 The Simple and Honest People of Gotham City

After Nick Fury returned, he gave the indulgence to a well-known prisoner. Based on past experience, such famous prisoners would soon be taken away by Kira, but this time there was no sign at all, and nothing happened for several days.

To verify the claim that the soul is taken away after death, S.H.I.E.L.D. had a sorcerer mark the prisoner's soul and then secretly executed him. Sure enough, the prisoner's soul was quickly drawn away after death and left this world.

Although the sorcerer couldn't determine where the prisoner's soul had been taken, everyone knew perfectly well that it had been taken to Kira's prison.

Realizing that indulgences were truly useful, a large number of wealthy people rushed to buy them from Xiao Xian. The only thing that exceeded Xiao Xian's expectations was that indulgences worth 150 million sold much better than those worth 30 million.

For most wealthy individuals who are willing to spend 30 million to buy indulgences, spending an extra 120 million is not a big deal. In situations involving their lives, most wealthy individuals are still willing to pay a mere 100 million.

However, Xiao Xian did not sell an unlimited number of indulgence tickets, but rather sold them in limited quantities, creating a scarcity marketing strategy. Everyone who bought an indulgence ticket had to pull strings to get one, and those who did had to thank Xiao Xian, as they owed him a favor.

After accumulating enough connections, Xiao Xian arrived in Gotham, one of America's most developed and most decadent cities.

Xiao Xian came to Gotham for a simple reason: to retaliate against Wayne Enterprises for smearing him.

Of course, revenge was just the trigger. Xiao Xian had several main objectives. The first was naturally Batman, the number one most popular superhero in American comics. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call Batman one of the core characters in the DC universe. If he could pull Batman into the Hell dimension, he would definitely make a fortune. Since Batman had offended him, Xiao Xian naturally came to take revenge on Batman with malicious intent.

As for Superman, another core figure in the DC universe, although he also offended Xiao Xian, he couldn't defeat him. Even if he could, it would consume a lot of the world's essence, which would be a loss. The main reason is that he can bully Batman, an ordinary person. Who would want to fight a corrupted Superman?

Secondly, he wanted to see if the Batman of this world was as overpowered as he is in the movies and comics. If he was really that overpowered, Xiao Xian would have no choice but to give up the idea of ​​pulling Batman into the dimensional space and just give him a few green hats as revenge.

The third purpose was for research. Gotham, as one of the darkest cities in the DC universe, was of great reference value for Xiao Xian in constructing the hellish space.

Fourthly, it's for recruiting employees. As the saying goes, Gotham City is known for its simple and honest people and its abundance of talent. Xiao Xian's Hell Space is in its infancy and urgently needs a large number of talents, and Gotham has no shortage of all kinds of talents.

Whether it's a master of torment, a psychology expert, or a candidate for male or female succubus, Gotham has no shortage of them. The entire Gotham is a huge talent market, waiting for Xiao Xian to come and recruit people.

It's difficult for outsiders to gain a foothold in Gotham, let alone gather information. Even S.H.I.E.L.D. doesn't have much influence in Gotham. However, this is not a problem for Xiao Xian because he has super charisma.

In a luxurious villa in Gotham City, Sofia Falcone, daughter of Gotham gang godfather Carman Falcone, returns home after attending a charity gala.

Sofia's long hair was elegantly styled in a bun on her head, with a few soft strands gently cascading down her delicate neck, adding a touch of gentleness to her face. Her face possessed the passion and sensuality characteristic of Italian beauties; beneath her high nose bridge were a pair of alluring red lips, and her deep eyes sparkled with intelligence. She wore a pair of red high heels, the design of which was both fashionable and elegant, perfectly complementing the long, slender lines of her legs.

Her legs captivated countless young talents in Gotham, but no one ever succeeded. Sophia was as proud as a queen and never accepted any suitors.

However, when Sofia returned to her room, an unexpected scene left her stunned at the doorway: sitting on her bed was Xiao Xian, the world's most popular superhero.

Sophia's heart skipped a beat; she had never seen such a captivating man. Despite being the daughter of a Gotham mob godfather and having seen it all, in front of Xiao Xian, she felt like an innocent young girl, unable to move or take her eyes off him.

Sofia had seen this face countless times on television and heard countless female celebrities say that Xiao Xian was infinitely more handsome in person than in photos. But Sofia never cared. In her eyes, career came first. Men were just stumbling blocks on the road to success. What good was being handsome? Could they put food on the table?

But at this moment, Sofia realized she was wrong. Being this handsome really could be a meal ticket!

After the initial surprise and initial excitement, Sofia Falcone quickly composed herself. She entered the room, her face radiant with warmth, and asked…

"Good evening, I didn't expect to meet you in my room." Sophia's voice was soft and magnetic. She sat gracefully across from Xiao Xian, gently placing her handbag on the dressing table as she spoke. Then, seemingly unintentionally, she parted her legs, not at all worried about revealing too much, and asked...

"I don't know how you got in, but since you're here, you must have something important to discuss?"

Xiao Xian was satisfied with Sophia's attitude. The black lace suggested Sophia was more relaxed than she appeared. He nodded slightly and cut to the chase:

"Indeed, I do have something I'd like to know. I'm quite interested in the shady dealings between your father, Carman Falcone, and Gotham City's richest man, Bruce Wayne."

Upon hearing Xiao Xian mention her father and Bruce Wayne's names, a complex emotion flashed in Sophia's eyes. It was certainly not a good thing for Xiao Xian, a superhero, to be investigating the secret dealings between her father, the godfather of the Gotham gang, and Gotham's richest man.

Once the information is given to Xiao Xian, the Falcone family's power is likely to suffer a major blow, or even be destroyed. In Sophia's eyes, the Falcone family will be hers sooner or later.

However, Sophia was also very reluctant to give up this opportunity to curry favor with Xiao Xian.

Just as Sophia hesitated, Xiao Xian stood up, placed one hand on Sophia's hands on the table, and used the other hand to lift her long legs, which were clad in red high heels.

"Let's talk while we get down to business."

"Okay~" Her whole body went limp, her mind filled only with her feelings for Xiao Xian. Sophia looked at Xiao Xian with hazy eyes and said, "Let's talk slowly."
