American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 246 Three Arbitrary Demands

A dozen minutes later, the Joker struggled to his feet, glanced resentfully in the direction Harley Quinn had been taken away, and then turned and left.

Wayne Manor, darkness engulfed the entire room, the only light coming from the moonlight outside the window.

Harley Quinn was tied to a chair, her wrists and ankles tightly bound by ropes, and even her mouth was stuffed with fishnet stockings, preventing her from making a sound.

Harley never imagined she would be captured one day, let alone in front of the man she loved most—the Joker.

With a click, the door opened, and Bruce Wayne strode in with steady steps. His eyes were cold and sharp, like a drawn sword. Harley instinctively tried to dodge, but her bound body was powerless.

"Harley, my dear Harley," Bruce slowly walked up to Harley, reaching out to stroke her delicate face as if admiring a work of art. "This perfect skin, I can't wait to see the whip lash your skin."

Harley turned her head away forcefully, unwilling to look at Bruce's repulsive face. She had never imagined that the upright Bruce on television could be so sleazy in private.

Bruce chuckled softly, reached out and pinched Harley's chin, forcing her to look at him.

"Don't look at me like that, Harley. I'll show you what a real man is. Maybe afterwards I can send the Joker the videotape of you being tortured, along with your ear? Let him know what the price is for trying to break off the contract with me~ Hahaha~ Just thinking about it is quite delightful."

Bruce's hand slid down Harley's chin, gradually moving downwards, sensing her struggles and resistance, which only fueled his desire and destructive urges. However, just as his fingers were about to touch Harley's clothes, a sudden wave of weariness washed over him, as if all his strength had been drained from his body.

"What...what's going on?" Bruce frowned, feeling his consciousness fading. Just as his lips were about to touch Harley again, his body involuntarily fell backward, crashing heavily to the ground.

Harley's eyes widened as she watched Bruce faint right before her eyes. She could hardly believe her eyes—Bruce, the King of Gotham, the Dark Knight, had simply fallen asleep in front of her! Just like an ordinary person, without any power to resist.

Then a black figure suddenly appeared in the room. Xiao Xian waved his hand casually, and Bruce Wayne, who was on the ground, flew to the corner like a dead dog, and even started snoring.

After glancing at Bruce Wayne, who was lost in a erotic dream, Xiao Xian reached out and took the fishnet stocking out of Harley Quinn's mouth, and laughed.

"Good evening, beautiful. You look like you need some help."

"Who are you?" Harley Quinn glanced at Bruce lying on the ground, then asked Xiao Xian with great vigilance.

"A kind-hearted passerby." Xiao Xian said, looking at Harley Quinn who was tied up. He had to admit that the way she was tied up was quite something. It would be difficult for someone who wasn't a professional to tie the ropes so securely and neatly.

"Handsome, can you help me untie this? To be honest, I'm having trouble breathing because of the tightness." Harley Quinn naturally noticed Xiao Xian's gaze. Not just Xiao Xian, she was already very used to similar gazes. In any case, it was best to get out of this predicament as soon as possible.

"At the moment, no," Xiao Xian said, arms crossed.

"Please~" Harley Quinn pleaded, always adept at using her advantages—she'd passed her medical school courses that way. "I'll repay you~"

"No, I have no interest in this kind of repayment from you."

Xiao Xian looked at Harley Quinn, who was flirting with him, and said that unlike the Joker, the Harley Quinn in this world was not acting but was really crazy. For Harley, having sex to escape was not a big deal, and she didn't even think it could be called a betrayal.

If the Joker himself doesn't care, he won't get much corrupting power from Harley Quinn in a friendly match. Even the Joker probably won't get much either. After all, judging from his ex-girlfriend's situation, the Joker in this world is the real Joker. Calling him the worst of the worst wouldn't be an exaggeration. If Harley Quinn has her reasons, he probably really doesn't mind.

Compared to physical betrayal, emotional betrayal clearly yields more depravity for Harley Quinn and the Joker.

If he were to unleash his full charm, he could easily win her over, but that would mean he would receive far less corrupting power. Therefore, Xiao Xian plans to gradually increase his charm and try to win her over with a lower charm value.

"So, handsome, what are you interested in?" Harley Quinn asked, twisting her body. She needed Xiao Xian's help to escape Wayne Manor. She knew that if she failed to escape and fell into Bruce Wayne's hands, she would likely see the Joker again as a man in pieces.

As for "handsome," it's just a label. In reality, Harley Quinn didn't care much about looks. What she loved about the Joker was his spirit, the madness deep in his soul, not his appearance.

"Hmm, good question, but I haven't thought of one yet. How about this, I can save you first, and then you can grant me three of my requests." Xiao Xian pretended to think for a moment, then said with a troubled expression.

"No problem, as long as you can get me out of here, I'll agree to any request, let alone three, even thirty." Harley Quinn nodded in agreement immediately.

"That's bold. Then make thirty requests," Xiao Xian said, following Harley Quinn's lead.

Stunned by Xiao Xian's unconventional actions, Harley Quinn remained silent for a moment before saying to him, "Alright then, thirty requests, I agree."

Go ahead and bring it up. If I find out, I won't even bother with you anymore. What does it matter if there are thirty, three thousand, or even thirty thousand? Harley Quinn thought to herself as she looked at Xiao Xian, and praised herself for her cleverness.

"Deal made!" Xiao Xian smiled slightly, using his hand as a knife to easily cut the ropes binding Harley Quinn.

Harley Quinn stretched her aching limbs, stood up, and walked towards the still unconscious Bruce Wayne. Seeing Bruce's unguarded state and that repulsive face, she decided to kill him now, ridding the world of this scourge.

"What are you going to do?" Xiao Xian asked, arms crossed.

"I'm going to kill this bastard! He dared to kidnap me here and even tried to do that kind of thing to me! If I don't kill him with my own hands today, I'll be unworthy of the name Harley Quinn!" Harley said through gritted teeth.

"Whatever." Xiao Xian didn't care at all. As Batman, the protagonist of DC, and a leader of the Justice League, Bruce Wayne was unkillable, not to mention Harley Quinn, even if the Joker came, he would be resurrected.

Instead of intervening, let's see how the world's will save Bruce Wayne. After all, it's Harley Quinn who wants to kill Bruce, not Xiao Xian. Even if lightning strikes, it won't hit Xiao Xian. At most, it will just be an indirect factor that deducts some points.
