American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 244 Working Like a Slave

The first group of women followed Xiao Xian out of the passage, finally tasting a breath of freedom, and all showed joyful smiles.

However, their joy lasted only a moment before they saw a security guard approaching. The women panicked, some even beginning to sob quietly, terrified of being dragged back to that hellish basement.

If their escape attempts are discovered, they will face even more horrific torture, or even death.

However, Xiao Xian remained unmoved. He smiled slightly and gestured for the women to relax.

The security guard approached without looking to either side, his footsteps echoing loudly in the quiet night. The women held their breath, their hearts pounding. However, the security guard seemed not to see them at all, walking straight past them without stopping. The women exchanged bewildered glances.

"Is he blind? Or is he actually an undercover agent you planted at Wayne Manor?" A girl asked Xiao Xian with a surprised look as she watched the security personnel walk away.

"It's just a superpower." Xiao Xian smiled and then calmly walked out.

"You could have easily taken everyone out, right?! Why did you only take us?" another girl asked, puzzled. Looking at Xiao Xian's relaxed and carefree demeanor, he didn't seem to have reached his limit at all.

"If you're not happy about it, you can go back and stay with them," Xiao Xian said, glancing at the woman who had asked the question.

"No, no need~" The woman shook her head hurriedly, wishing she could slap herself for being so talkative. She hadn't escaped yet, and if Xiao Xian didn't take her and left her here, she would be dead.

The others' expressions changed upon hearing this; they understood that Xiao Xian probably wouldn't go back to save the others.

"This way." Xiao Xian's gaze passed through layers of walls, leading everyone to the hall of Wayne Manor, where Bruce Wayne was elegantly enjoying afternoon tea and watching the news on television.

The television was currently showing a video of the Joker and Harley Quinn racing through the streets of Gotham, causing chaos for the Gotham police.

Harley Quinn sat on the motorcycle, her long legs, clad in fishnet stockings, firmly gripping the frame. Her red and black hot pants clung to her curves, making her look exceptionally sexy. Her blonde hair danced in the night wind, the ends dyed a pink and blue gradient, adding to her wild and untamed appearance.

Harley Quinn held the Joker in one arm and casually rested the other on the front of the car, her posture elegant and confident. Occasionally, she would raise one hand and wave it at the pursuing police cars behind her, as if in defiance or mockery of her overconfident pursuers.

Bruce Wayne, watching the stunningly beautiful Harley Quinn on television, said to his butler, Alfred, beside him...

"This girl is nice, much prettier than the original Harley Quinn. Has she signed a contract?"

"Young master, she is a volunteer who volunteered to follow the Joker. She is a psychiatrist we arranged to work next to the Joker. She became fascinated with the Joker and volunteered to act alongside him," Afu explained.

"Likes the Joker? That loser is actually quite likable. The taste of these poor people these days is truly baffling." Bruce Wayne scoffed.

"That bitch isn't very bright, but she's got some looks. Have her come over tonight, I'll talk to her about the contract myself."

"Young Master, Harley Quinn does have some mental issues, and I'm afraid she might hurt you," Alfred said hesitantly. "Besides, after she fell in love with the Joker, she's not the kind of person who'll shut up just because you pay her."

"Then tie them up and send them over. This crazy feeling will be really fun to play with when they're tied up," Bruce Wayne said without hesitation.

"After you're done, just take it to the basement. There are a few plants in the basement that've gotten tired of playing with recently, and it's about time for a replacement. The flowers in the garden need nutrients to grow, after all."

"Understood. I'll arrange it right away." Afu nodded, bowed, and left without any surprise, clearly indicating that this wasn't the first time such a thing had happened.

Xiao Xian, standing next to him, took out his phone and recorded the whole thing. Several girls next to him covered their mouths and trembled with fear. Part of the reason was that they were instinctively afraid of Bruce Wayne because of the long-term torture.

On the other hand, it's because if Xiao Xian hadn't rescued them, some of them might have been the ones who got bored and were discarded to be used as fertilizer.

"Let's go." After the recording was finished, Xiao Xian said to the trembling women. The spell that kept them from being discovered by Bruce Wayne also had a cost, so there was no need to stay here after the recording was over.

Leading the women away from Wayne Manor, Xiao Xian addressed them, his face beaming with undisguised joy.

"Alright, you can go now. Friendly reminder: leave Gotham and go into hiding. Otherwise, Bruce Wayne can easily find you and kill you to cover it up."

Upon hearing this, the joy on the women's faces vanished instantly. Bruce Wayne—in Gotham, that name was synonymous with wealth and power, the true uncrowned king of Gotham. The thought of being hunted down by Bruce Wayne in the future filled the women with a sense of utter despair.

As for the accuser, Ruth Wayne?

The women didn't even dare to imagine it. It wasn't like they hadn't been used by Bruce Wayne to entertain guests before. They had seen many of these people on TV, such as the Mayor of Gotham and the Chief of Police of Gotham City. They were all as obedient as grandsons in front of Bruce Wayne.

Even if they had evidence other than their own words, they wouldn't live to see the trial.

"I signed an agreement with you, I am willing to be your slave and servant, at your beck and call, and I hope you will take me in!"

At this moment, a girl rolled her eyes and knelt down in front of Xiao Xian, begging to be taken in. There are not many people in this world who can withstand the pressure from Bruce Wayne to take in someone, but the person in front of her is definitely one of them.

"That agreement was mainly for the people inside to sign; you were just going through the motions," Xiao Xian said, shaking his head. These people's sins were too low; taking them to the Hell Space would be too costly and not worth it.

"The people inside?" The women were very surprised. Didn't Xiao Xian fail to rescue the people inside? Why were they working like slaves for Xiao Xian?

"They are mine in life and in death," Xiao Xian said meaningfully to the group of women.

"???!!!"

Upon hearing this, the women all got goosebumps and were filled with lingering fear. They instantly understood why Xiao Xian hadn't brought the rest of the people out—his purpose was to let them wait to die.

Sensing the power of fear emanating from the women, Xiao Xian satisfiedly reaped his rewards, and then said...

"Do you still want to follow me now? To be my slaves?"

"I'll go!" The girl who had asked earlier if she could avoid offering herself stood up and said.

"I have nowhere else to go. I'm sure Bruce Wayne will find me soon. I don't know who you are, but I'd rather go to hell than be caught by Bruce Wayne again."
