American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 241 Remodeling

The roar of an engine ripped through the night as a wildly painted motorcycle sped through the streets of Gotham City like an arrow. Harley Quinn sat on the footrest, her wild hair flying in the wind, her face beaming with barely suppressed excitement.

"Haha! That's so exciting, Pudding! The police are catching up with us soon!" Harley shouted, her laughter echoing like a string of silver bells in the night.

"I'll shake them off right now!!"

The clown grinned maliciously, floored the accelerator, and drove the motorcycle even faster, even leaping over a triangular step, sending it soaring from the street onto the overpass.

Several police cars were parked on the side of the street, and the police officers had to get out of their cars, staring in disbelief as the clown drove away.

"Damn it! How can this madman run so fast?!" A police officer angrily kicked a car tire.

A crowd of onlookers had gathered in front of the roadblocks not far away, including some reporters from news media who had "happened" to be there.

Inside a dilapidated apartment adorned with vibrant colors, the Joker and Harley Quinn are leisurely watching television on the sofa. The screen is playing the scene from earlier: a group of panicked bank employees and the Joker robbing money are clearly visible.

"Hahaha—look at this! This bearded security guard screamed like a child after I hit him in the groin with a baseball bat, and all the other guards chickened out too!" Harley excitedly spilled the popcorn she was holding onto the floor, then added with a hint of regret...

"Unfortunately, most of the loot from the robbery had to be handed over to that guy Bruce Wayne. We risked a lot to help him take down his competitors, but instead of paying us, he demanded that we hand over all the money we stole, and in the end, we had to play along, get beaten up, and then arrested."

The clown snorted coldly as he looked at the screen, then picked up his beer and took a big gulp.

"Harley. It's not easy to survive in this godforsaken place, Gotham. If I don't behave, who knows which gang thugs will come after us next? Or some disgusting superhero? Maybe tomorrow some weirdo in that strange red and blue bodysuit and cape will fly over!" The Joker said, making an exaggerated gesture towards the sky.

Harley was amused by the clown and comforted him.

"Don't worry, Pudding, you always have a plan. As long as you can break free from Bruce's control, I'll support you in whatever you want to do."

"Actually, I have some ideas, but it won't be easy to do it. I need other people's help," the Joker said, looking at Harley Quinn with a troubled expression.

"Recently, some strange guy said he could help me, but I think he might be more dangerous than Bruce, and his demands are outrageous."

"That's outrageous! What conditions did he offer?" Harley Quinn asked, puzzled.

"It's just outrageous." The Joker patted Harley Quinn on the shoulder, signaling her not to take it too seriously. "Compared to what he's offering, I'd rather continue being exploited by Bruce."

If that person wanted money, to help the Joker kill someone, to rule Gotham, or to help unify the Gotham gangs, the Joker would definitely agree without hesitation. After all, other people's lives are no longer important to the Joker.

But that person wanted Harley Quinn, and the current Joker was the one he absolutely could not agree to.

"What are the conditions? Pudding, can I help?" Harley asked curiously, eager to help the Joker.

"Anyway, don't worry about it." The Joker shook his head, firmly rejecting Harley Quinn's offer.

The apartment was quiet late at night. Harley curled up in bed, pretending to be asleep. Finally, a soft sound of footsteps faded into the distance. Harley opened her eyes and saw the Joker walking alone towards the kitchen.

Harley sat up abruptly and quickly followed him barefoot. Her heart was pounding, but she pretended to be sleepy, so as not to arouse the Joker's suspicion if she was discovered.

In the kitchen, the clown picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"Feed~"

"Clown, what's up so late?" Xiao Xian, who was conducting a magic experiment, answered the phone while using magic materials to inscribe magical patterns on Little Chili's back.

"I've made up my mind. I refuse your offer. I will never let Harley go with you just to get Bruce's control!" the Joker said resolutely into the phone.

"Aren't you angry that Bruce schemed against you? He arranged for your ex-girlfriend and the gang that beat you up." Xiao Xian raised an eyebrow and smiled.

"I'm angry, but I'll get my revenge in my own way, not by betraying my girlfriend," the Joker said firmly.

"Very good, a wise choice. It seems you're not completely insane yet." Xiao Xian nodded upon hearing this, and then drew another magic rune on Little Chili's back.

"So the deal is off," the Joker said into the phone. "I'll get my revenge on Bruce in my own way."

"Of course, I never like to force people, but my promise still stands. You can still come to me if you change your mind someday," Xiao Xian said. Obviously, the Joker wasn't crazy enough yet, but Xiao Xian knew it would be soon. Bruce Wayne in this world was no pushover.

With his vast wealth and the signing of Superman, Bruce Wayne already had an overwhelming advantage. However, the Bruce Wayne of this world was even less principled than the Joker. Xiao Xian was quite certain that the current Joker couldn't beat Bruce Wayne.

"Don't worry, I absolutely won't," the Joker said firmly.

"Well, good luck." Xiao Xian shrugged, hung up the phone, and then dipped his finger in the magic potion to continue drawing runes on Little Chili's back.

Little Chili was overjoyed to see herself becoming more and more beautiful in the mirror. The succubus transformation that Xiao Xian had described was much better than she had imagined.

"Master~ I've been refusing to sleep with Tony these past few days, and he's starting to suspect something's wrong. Maybe I should just divorce him and then acknowledge you as my master in front of him?"

Looking at her flawless skin and alluring eyes in the mirror, Little Chili was very satisfied. She then acted coquettishly towards Xiao Xian and instinctively used her charm.

"Once the transformation is complete, you can agree to his proposal. Tony is just an ordinary person; he can't resist your charm and illusions."

As Xiao Xian drew runes, he explained that thanks to the rule perspective of the Spear of Destiny, he had gained a deeper understanding of the laws of super charm. Combined with the vast amount of divine knowledge he had obtained from Seth, Xiao Xian successfully developed a succubus with bewitching abilities in the dimensional space.

However, the laws of dimensional space and this world are still somewhat different, so Xiao Xian is trying to find a way to improve them so that they can be effective in this world.

After finishing the last stroke of the magic rune on Little Chili's snow-white toes, the rune automatically disappeared beneath her skin. Xiao Xian looked at the noticeably changed Little Chili and said...

"Let's try casting the spell and see the effect."
