American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 258 Actually, I am Xiao Xian

Xiao Xian, carrying a package in one hand, pushed open the heavy wooden door of Poison Ivy's house and bumped into Harley Quinn, who was curled up on the sofa, scrolling through the news on her phone. Seeing Xiao Xian enter with the package, she immediately asked curiously...

"Xiao Xian, what are you holding?" Her eyes scanned the package back and forth.

Xiao Xian placed the package on the table and said, "This is a package that the Joker placed in the place where I often met him before he was captured. Consider it a backup plan that the Joker prepared in case he failed."

Upon hearing this, Harley hurriedly walked to the table and urged impatiently, "Quickly open it and see what's inside."

Xiao Xian nodded, tore open the package, revealing a thick folder inside with two letters on it. Two more letters were tucked into the folder's cover, marked "Xiao Xian" and "Harley" in different colors.

"Is this Pudding's letter?" Harley curiously leaned over to take a look.

"One is for you, and one is for me." Xiao Xian saw the contents of the letters through the envelopes at a glance and handed the letter for Harley to her.

The letter to Xiao Xian stated that she should have already been arrested by now, and that she hoped Xiao Xian could take good care of Harley, even if it was just because Harley was pretty. She also said that if she gave the letter to Harley, Harley would know what to do.

In her letter, Harley tells her to please Xiao Xian, even at the cost of her body, because only Xiao Xian can protect Harley from Bruce and avenge her.

After reading the letter, Harley immediately guessed that Xiao Xian was the person who had spoken to the Joker on the phone earlier.

"So it was you who called the Joker that night." Harley said somewhat awkwardly after reading the letter. Before even seeing the contents of the letter, she had already fallen for him. She had even made various humiliating agreements at noon to beg Xiao Xian to continue playing cards, agreements she later regretted. If only she had endured it for a couple more days.

"Let's see what's in the files." Xiao Xian opened the folder, which contained various photos and several sheets of paper covered with writing.

Harley carefully examined the photos and discovered that they documented several cases of women being kidnapped.

Many photos documented in detail the meeting between the kidnapping women organization and certain mysterious figures, with some photos showing a close-up of the contact person's face and the tattoos on his hands.

Another set of news photos in the folder, taken during an interview with Bruce, features close-ups of Bruce's butler, Alfred, with several of them clearly showing the tattoos on his hands.

"A photo alone isn't enough evidence, is it?" Harley casually flipped through the folder, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper. She was well aware of Bruce's influence over the media.

Xiao Xian revealed a mysterious smile: "It might not be enough for you, but it's enough for other superhero companies."

Harley looked at Xiao Xian and asked, "Do you know any high-ranking executives at other superhero agencies?"

Xiao Xian blinked and said, "Considering your behavior in bed at noon, I'll tell you the truth. Actually, I am Xiao Xian."

Harley was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter. Pointing at Xiao Xian's face, she laughed so hard she almost fell over: "You? Give me a break! Xiao Xian is the world's most handsome superhero, look at your—"

However, her words came to an abrupt halt. Harley's eyes widened suddenly, her mouth slightly agape, clearly stunned by the sight before her.

From her perspective, Xiao Xian's appearance seemed to have undergone a magical transformation. His originally ordinary features began to distort and reshape, with every detail undergoing subtle yet significant changes. His jawline became more defined, his eyes seemed to possess a deep, profound light, his nose was high and straight, and his lips had a perfect contour. Even his hairstyle became fashionable and charming.

The whole process happened in the blink of an eye, but to Harley, it felt like an eternity. When everything calmed down, the man standing in front of her was no longer the ordinary man she had seen before, but a super handsome guy who could make anyone fall for him.

Harley stammered, "How...how is this possible? You...you really are Xiao Xian?"

Harley's voice was filled with disbelief, even trembling slightly. If she had known Xiao Xian was so handsome, she wouldn't have regretted those humiliating agreements so much, and she wouldn't have been so conflicted these past few days.

Xiao Xian smiled calmly, a smile that seemed particularly charming on his face at that moment: "Otherwise, why do you think I so easily turned Poison Ivy to the side, and even had her risk being discovered by Bruce to let you move in?"

Harry looked at Xiao Xian, her eyes filled with complex emotions. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down: "This...this is truly surprising. So, can we still play cards together in the future?"

Xiao Xian smiled and said, "Of course."

Harley nodded, blushing, and said, "You know, I've been thinking a lot about what you said before. About the Joker. About myself. Maybe I've been following just a fictional character all along."

"No, the difference between before and after is a bit too big," Xiao Xian said speechlessly, quickly suppressing the effect of his super charm.

At the Osborne Group headquarters in New York, Harry Osborne sat in his spacious, bright office, overlooking the bustling city skyline. His computer screen lit up, displaying an email he had received from Xiao Xian.

To be honest, if you ignore the Harry Osborne desktop wallpaper with Xiao Xian and Mary Jane playing cards, it looks pretty convincing.

The contents of the email brought a smile to Harry's face. He nodded in satisfaction, stood up, walked to a corner of the office, and dialed the number of the group's media manager.

The call was answered quickly, and a deep, professional voice answered, "Mr. Harry, what are your instructions?"

Harry smiled slightly, his tone tinged with excitement. "I just received a very interesting email about Bruce's scandal."

The other party seemed somewhat surprised, but quickly regained their composure. It's not surprising that these rich young men have scandals. Just like his own boss, who seems like a very respectable person, but actually likes Xiao Xian to cheat on him. This matter has spread throughout the company.

"This is indeed big news. How would you like us to handle this?"

"I want you to make this a huge spectacle, bombard the entire American media with those photos and evidence!" Harry couldn't suppress the smile on his face. "I want all of New York, and even the whole world, to know about the darkness behind Bruce Wayne."

The person in charge on the other end of the phone quickly replied, "Understood, Mr. Harry. I will arrange it immediately to ensure this matter escalates rapidly and causes the biggest sensation."

"I'll also send a copy of the information to Stark Industries later. Although I'm reluctant to admit it, that arms dealer does have some influence."

Harry, recalling the contents of Xiao Xian's email, continued to remind him. Although he really didn't want to cooperate with that arrogant maniac Stark, Harry had no choice but to obey since Xiao Xian had spoken.

"Understood."
