American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 176 The Joker is the Real Joker

"If it's for publicity, I can barely accept getting back together with the Joker, but could you change the name? Harley Quinn or something like that doesn't really suit my vibe," Sophie said after thinking for a moment, but she was still not satisfied with the name Xiao Xian had suggested.

"Um, it doesn't seem quite right. What do you want to call him?" Xiao Xian thought for a moment and agreed. Calling him Harry Quinn was indeed a bit shabby.

"Black Pearl! I think I'm even more like Black Pearl. As for a stage name, can I just use my real name? Sophie, I think my name is very beautiful." Sophie said without hesitation. She felt that she was the most beautiful woman among black people, and it was not an exaggeration to call her Black Pearl.

"Not bad, I can tell you're very confident, and confidence is a good thing." Xiao Xian said to Sophie, who looked very confident. In Xiao Xian's eyes, this girl was just a tool to influence the Joker. If she liked the stage name, Sophie could call herself Wild Boar.

"Well, that's good. So when should I call Arthur and tell him I agree to get back together?" Sophie was very happy to see that Xiao Xian was so easy to talk to, and as she spoke, she wanted to lean into Xiao Xian's arms.

"Let's start now, the sooner we get this buzz going, the sooner you can debut." Xiao Xian pressed his hand against Sophie's forehead. He wasn't a junk collector; he didn't want just any girl.

"I'll call now." Sophie awkwardly moved a little further away from Xiao Xian, giving him an embarrassed smile. She took out her phone and searched for Arthur's contact information.

"I think I deleted his contact information," Sophie said awkwardly, looking at her phone.

"You don't remember his phone number? Didn't you two date for several years?" Xiao Xian said, somewhat speechless.

"I've never kept track of it, and he's usually the one who calls me," Sophie explained.

"I'll ask for you." Xiao Xian took out his phone and dialed Maroney's number. As the second-ranking gang leader in Gotham, Maroney was able to get the Joker's phone number.

After obtaining the Joker's phone number, Sophie dialed it and put it on speakerphone; the call connected almost instantly.

"Feed?" Sophie dialed the clown's number.

"Hey~ Sophie, what do you need?" The clown's voice was noticeably hoarse.

"In the days since the breakup, I've found that I still can't completely forget you, so... I think maybe we can try again."

Sophie idly fiddled with her hair, spouting nonsense as she went along. This behavior was completely out of character for her, which made Xiao Xian raise an eyebrow. Was this her innate talent?

"Really?!" Xiao Yan jumped up excitedly, tears of joy streaming down his face. "I knew our relationship wouldn't end like this~"

"Don't be so happy yet. Getting back together is fine, but I have two conditions." Sophie rolled her eyes, her disdain undisguised.

"As long as you're willing to get back together, I'll agree to anything, not just ten, but a hundred, a thousand conditions!" the Joker shouted without hesitation.

"Simps never get a good death!" Xiao Xian listened to the clown's words on his phone and decided to change his original plan. He hated simps the most, as they disrupted the market and made even someone like Sophie's price go up too much.

"You have to trust me unconditionally. Don't be suspicious. If I chat casually with other guys, have a few drinks, go clubbing, and accidentally hug them, and they don't come home at night, you'll suspect me."

As Sophie spoke, she unbuttoned her collar, revealing more of her figure, then deliberately bent down to pour Xiao Xian a drink, showing him her view. Seeing that Xiao Xian had absolutely no interest, she sat back down on the sofa dejectedly, looking quite aggrieved as she spoke into her phone.

"Let me tell you, I'm completely innocent. I've never done anything to betray you, yet you always suspect me of cheating. If it weren't for the fact that you've treated me fairly well, I would have broken up with you long ago. You know what I hate most is being suspected, especially being suspected by you. I'm really not the kind of woman who would cheat!"

"I know, I know, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have doubted you! Darling, I promise I'll never doubt you again," Xiaohaiyan quickly assured her. "I was overthinking things before. I should have trusted you. I know you're a good girl."

"Pfft~ He deserved to die, really, he deserved to die." Upon hearing this, Xiao Xian's main body in the Hell Space burst out laughing. This is too damn abstract. What kind of king of simps is this?

"There's another condition: I'm a traditional girl, and I refuse premarital sex. You have to respect that." Sophie nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this, and then continued speaking into the phone.

"I know, I know. I was too eager before, I liked you too much, that's why I wanted to be with you. Since you don't agree, I will never mention it again." The clown nodded quickly.

"Cough cough cough~"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xian, who was in hell, completely lost his composure. Did that clown really not know what the tattoos on Sophie's abdomen, ankle, and other places meant? Could the clown of this world be the clown of this kind?

To put it bluntly, even the chickens in Gotham are probably cleaner than Sophie. With a different body, Sophie could directly become a succubus in Xiao Xian's hell, and a very high-level one at that.

"Alright, I'll give you one last chance." Sophie nodded in satisfaction. "If I can't win over Xiao Xian, I can win you over too. I hope you won't let me down. Come pick me up from the bar."

"No problem, I'll definitely do my best. Which bar are you at?" the clown asked excitedly.

After hanging up the phone, Sophie smiled at Xiao and said, "It's all taken care of. He'll be here soon."

"You..." Xiao Xian reached out and lifted Sophie's clothes. Sophie not only did not resist, but also moved closer and arched her back to cooperate with Xiao Xian to lift her clothes and expose her abdomen.

"The clown doesn't understand what this means?" Xiao Xian asked, pointing to the tattoo on Sophie's abdomen.

"He doesn't know. I told him it was to cover up his birthmark." Sophie shook her head, then looked at Xiao Xian ingratiatingly and asked, "Do you like it?"

"I don't have that hobby. So, what about the Ace of Spades tattooed on your ankle?" Xiao Xian grabbed Sophie's foot, pulled up her trouser leg, and revealed the Ace of Spades tattooed on her ankle.

"I got this tattoo back in high school when I hung out with some black gang members, just for the thrill, but I haven't been in touch with them for a long time. Arthur's friend told him the meaning of the tattoo. But I told him I got the Ace of Spades because I like playing cards, and I had no idea what it meant. Tattoo removal is too painful, so I just left it."

Sophie awkwardly reached out to try and cover the tattoo on her foot, knowing full well that it was a major turn-off for Xiao Xian.

"A clown would believe such nonsense?" Xiao Xian looked at him with a "what are you talking about?" expression. This world was too abstract. However, his original world seemed to have a similar plot, but it was still very abstract.

"If you don't believe me, then let's break up~ If he doubts me, just say he doesn't trust me, doesn't love me, and dares to yell at me~" Sophie said indifferently, Arthur's doubts were nothing to her.
