American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 18 Stay away from him

"Tomie!" The man who had been stunned by Peter's kick came to his senses and rushed forward again, about to pounce on Tomie.

"Stay away from her! She already has a boyfriend!" Peter kicked the man who lunged at him again, sending him flying. This time, the man struggled for a moment but didn't get up.

"Thank you." Looking at Peter, Tomie thanked him with a forced smile. She was thinking that she might as well reveal her true form and push Peter off the building when there weren't many people around that night.

"You're welcome, it's my pleasure," Peter said with great gentlemanly manners, feeling very pleased with himself.

"This watch is nice, I'll take it, let's pay quickly!" Xiao Xian waved to Tomie while looking at a watch at the counter. Peter is Spider-Man, after all, a superhero. If he discovers Tomie's monstrous nature and kills her, it will be troublesome. Both of his missions are related to Tomie. Where can he find another Tomie? Even if he finds another Tomie, she might not pursue him.

"Here you are~ How about we go to the men's clothing store later? I'll buy you a nice outfit, you'll look even more handsome in it." Tomie immediately put on a bright smile and went over to Xiao Xian.

"This probably requires a trip to the police station," Xiao Xian said, looking at the gun in Peter's hand. This could be considered a case.

"Don't worry, I have connections and I can get it done quickly, or I can just have a lawyer explain it to me," Tomie laughed. Money really can buy anything.

"So that's how it works? Right, stay away from him in the future. The way he looks at you is so lecherous, he's obviously up to no good." Xiao Xian glanced at Peter and whispered. He knew Peter could hear him, but that didn't stop him from talking behind Peter's back. On the contrary, the hatred points he gained would only make Xiao Xian happier.

Bah! This useless guy can't even get a quest after meeting me several times. Xiao Xian is even thinking of moving. Look at Tomie, she's already completed three quests since we met.

"Okay!" Tomie nodded without hesitation. This was a great opportunity to increase her favorability. She wouldn't be like those low-level green tea girls who couldn't see the bigger picture at this moment.

"??????" Seriously?! Are you out of your mind?! Peter stared at the two whispering to each other. He had just saved them, hadn't he? And this is what happens to them?

At least Tomie thanked him, but Xiao Xian didn't say thank you at all!

Just because I was initially wary of him flirting with Aunt Mei and treated him badly, he's now acting like this, preventing me from stealing his girlfriend. Isn't that a bit much?

Can't this person be a little more magnanimous?

Furthermore, this guy actually asked Tomie to buy him things? He wanted Tomie to pay for everything while they went shopping? Peter could hardly believe his ears. Let alone Tomie, even if he went out with just any girl, not Mary Jane but just an ordinary female classmate, Peter would never let her pay.

That evening, when Peter returned home for dinner, he looked at the beautiful Aunt Mei and was torn. Although Xiao Xian was an ungrateful bastard who lived off women, Tomie liked him, and there was nothing Peter could do about it.

The only hope now is that Xiao Xian will cheat on his wife, Peter will then give the evidence of Xiao Xian's infidelity to Tomie, and then take advantage of the opportunity to comfort Tomie to make his move.

It just so happens that Xiao Xian seems to be interested in Aunt Mei. If Peter were to match them up and then install cameras at home to send the evidence to Tomie, Peter really wouldn't want someone like Xiao Xian to win over Aunt Mei.

"What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?" Aunt May Parker asked, puzzled, as Peter Parker stared at her with a troubled expression.

"Aunt Mei, what do you think about our new neighbor, Xiao Xian?" After thinking for a moment, Peter couldn't help but ask.

"Xiao Xian? He seems like a nice guy, quite polite, and also seems to have a good network. You could try to get to know him better sometime." Aunt Mei thought for a moment and then said, "By the way, did you take a gift to his house as I asked you to?"

"I forgot, I'll find another opportunity to go later, I mean, from the perspective of a male-female relationship, what do you think of him?" Peter asked cautiously. He couldn't help it; he really couldn't forget Tomie's every smile and gesture, so he could only ask Aunt May to make a sacrifice.

"I have no interest in that. I'm over thirty, Peter, and he looks about your age. He's not on my radar," Aunt May said, shaking her head. "Besides, since your uncle passed away, I haven't had any thoughts about that. I just want to raise you."

"You look like you're only in your early twenties, Aunt May. You're still young." Hearing Aunt May's words, Peter couldn't help but feel ashamed of himself. He was actually willing to sacrifice Aunt May's happiness just to pick up girls.

"Besides, you're getting pretty cocky these days! You're even starting to worry about things like this?" Aunt May flicked Peter on the forehead and laughed, "And besides, don't you know he's living with a super beautiful woman?"

"Ouch~" Peter pretended to wince in pain, rubbing his forehead and sticking out his tongue. "I think Aunt May, if you were to take care of it, you could definitely do it easily."

As a man, Peter felt it was impossible for any man to give up Tomie for another woman, but it was possible for him to secretly be with another woman behind Tomie's back, which meant cheating.

Just like Peter, it's impossible for him to give up Tomie and be with Mary Jane, but if after being with Tomie, Mary Jane comes over and wants to have something happen between Peter, Peter himself would find it hard to refuse.

Similarly, Peter felt that Xiao Xian was unlikely to refuse a beauty like Aunt Mei.

Of course, Peter has now abandoned his terrible plan.

The next morning, Peter didn't go to college or play Spider-Man. Instead, he stayed on the balcony, quietly waiting for the woman who haunted his dreams and kept him up at night to appear.

Finally, around 10 o'clock, Tomie appeared on the neighbor's balcony carrying the washed clothes, and Peter immediately greeted her with a smile.

"Hi~ What a coincidence, we meet again." Peter scratched his cheek, looked at Tomie, and immediately his heart raced and his face turned bright red. Anyone who didn't know better would think something had happened to his face.

"Hello." Is this really a coincidence? Tomie rolled her eyes inwardly. She knew Peter's little tricks perfectly well. She didn't need to guess to know that Peter had been waiting for her here for a long time, just to meet her.

"Um... I got a ticket to Beyoncé's concert, do you want to come with me?" After hesitating for a while, Peter extended the invitation. Although Xiao Xian told Tomie to stay away from him, and Tomie agreed, who knows what might happen?

"Sorry, I'm not interested." Tomie casually hung up her clothes and declined Peter's invitation without any hesitation.

"What about Osborne's party? I can get an invitation, do you want to come along?" Peter, still unwilling to give up, asked.

"Sorry, boy, you're not my type, and I already have someone I like. If he sees you talking to me, he might misunderstand." Seeing that Peter was still persistent, Tomie rejected him directly. Sometimes, extraordinary charm can be quite troublesome. This man is like a piece of chewing gum that she can't shake off. What if Xiao Xian sees this and it affects his impression of her?

In Tomie's eyes, the value of Peter and Xiao Xian was like that of top-grade Wagyu beef versus beef made from rotten rat meat mixed with flour from a small workshop. Tomie could choose even with her eyes closed.
