American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 303 Arthur's Stepfather

In the afternoon, Arthur and Mera invited Xiao Xian and Selena to the Atlantis conference hall to discuss the cooperation between Wayne Group and Atlantis.

The atmosphere in the spacious conference hall was solemn and formal. Arthur sat in the main seat, a formulaic smile on his face, but his heart was in turmoil. Every time his gaze fell on Xiao Xian, the image of Atlanna massaging Xiao Xian the night before would involuntarily flash through his mind.

He vividly remembered his mother Atlanna's alluring smile and seductive eyes; the image of her fingers tracing the contours of Xiao Xian's skin filled him with a strange excitement. At the same time, his gaze involuntarily shifted to Mera sitting beside him. The proud Mera was usually so calm and confident, and Arthur couldn't help but imagine what it would be like if she massaged Xiao Xian like his mother. This thought made his heart race and his breathing quicken.

Just as Arthur was lost in thought, there was a soft knock at the door. With Arthur's permission, a maid entered and respectfully said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has brought some food to comfort the hardworking people."

Arthur was startled and immediately understood Atlanna's intention. He nodded, and the maid then left.

A moment after the maid left, Atlana entered, followed by several maids carrying exquisite dishes. She smiled and greeted everyone, but her gaze was fixed on Xiao Xian.

"Mr. Abin, Ms. Selena, this is a gift specially prepared by Atlantis. We hope you will like it." Atlanna smiled and placed the basket on the table, her voice gentle and friendly.

Xiao Xian smiled and nodded to express his gratitude: "Your Majesty is too kind. We are very grateful for your kindness."

Atlana smiled gently, a hint of tenderness in her eyes: "Ms. Selena and Mr. Abin have worked very hard for our cooperation, and this is only to be expected."

During the subsequent meeting, Atlana used the pretext of discussing cooperation matters to approach Xiao Xian and whispered, "Last night was unforgettable."

Xiao Xian smiled and replied, "You are also unforgettable to me."

Arthur, sitting in the main seat, watched the flirtatious exchanges between his mother and Xiao Xian, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Over the next period of time, Atlana repeatedly used various pretexts to approach Xiao Xian and hold talks with him. Looking at Xiao Xian's handsome face and smelling his pleasant scent, Atlana threw her reserve to the back of her mind.

During a meeting, Atlana finally couldn't contain her excitement and whispered to Xiao Xian, "Mr. Xiao, why don't you stay for dinner tonight?"

Arthur, who had overheard his mother's words, felt both excited and nervous. He suppressed his excitement and anticipation and said, "Mom, isn't this inappropriate? It's not proper etiquette."

Atlana smiled and glanced at Arthur. "It's alright, you two are both honored guests. This is just to apologize for what happened before."

Arthur looked at Atlanna, then glanced at Xiao Xian, hesitated for a moment, and then, almost inexplicably, agreed.

That evening, Arthur, Mera, Atlanna, Xiao Xian, and Selena dined together in a magically generated underwater air sphere.

Mera wore a deep blue dress, looking elegant and dignified; Atlanna chose a bright red dress, looking sexy and alluring. Both women had captivating figures and were incredibly hot.

At the dinner table, everyone was distracted. Arthur watched his mother, Atlanna, chatting and laughing with Xiao Xian, feeling both jealous and excited. Mera watched Xiao Xian talking and laughing with Atlanna, feeling envious but unable to show it.

Princess Selena sat gracefully at the end of the table, listening to the conversation with a smile. She wore a white, diamond-studded gown with a long train that trailed on the ground, making her appear as radiant and beautiful as moonlight.

Still under the table, Selena and Atlana stretched their legs towards Xiao Xian. Xiao Xian felt two pairs of silk-stockinged legs rubbing against his calves, and a surge of heat rose within him.

At the dinner table, Atlana, slightly tipsy from a few drinks, gazed at Xiao Xian with her alluring eyes, unable to contain her excitement any longer. She softly said, "Mr. Abin, could you accompany me to the Coral Garden? I'd like to get some fresh air to sober up."

Xiao Xian paused for a moment, then nodded in agreement. He turned to Selena and politely asked if she minded if he and Atlana would take their leave first.

Selena smiled gracefully and said, "Of course, no problem, please make yourself at home."

Xiao Xian then looked at Arthur, seeking his opinion.

Arthur suppressed his anger and excitement, forced a smile, and said, "Go, take good care of my mother."

Atlana must have invited Xiao Xian to the Coral Garden to sober up, or to remind him not to tell anyone about what happened yesterday. That must be it, Arthur frantically reassured himself.

But deep down, Arthur's reason told him that Atlanna was most likely taking Xiao Xian to do something fun.

So Arthur watched helplessly as Xiao Xian and Atlanna walked out the door together. As he watched their retreating figures, a complex mix of emotions welled up inside him. He was both worried about his mother and secretly anticipating what was about to happen.

After Xiao Xian and Atlana left, Selena gracefully rose and said, "I have some things to attend to, so I'll head back to the hotel first."

Arthur glanced at Mera beside him, then nodded to Selena and said, "Go."

So, only Arthur and Mera remained in the restaurant. The atmosphere was a little awkward, and Arthur didn't know what to say.

Mera broke the silence first, gracefully setting down her knife and fork, and said to Arthur, "Do you know what your mother and Abin were doing at the Coral Garden?"

Arthur's heart tightened, but he forced himself to remain calm and said, "What else could we be doing? It's just going for a walk to sober up, isn't it?"

Mera chuckled and said, "A walk to sober up? Arthur, do you think your mother and Ah Bin look like they're going for a walk? Your mother's eyes are practically drooling when she looks at Xiao Xian."

Arthur's toes started digging into the ground, but he still forced a smile and said, "Of course, what else can we do? We can't exactly play ball in the Coral Garden, can we?"

Mera burst into laughter and said, "She definitely can't play ball, but whether she can play cards is another story. Your mother was with Xiao Xian yesterday, but today when she saw him, she wasn't embarrassed at all; instead, she took the initiative to approach him, and now she's even inviting him to the Coral Garden. Do you really think your mother and Xiao Xian are just going for a walk?"

Arthur forced himself to appear completely trusting of Atlanna, saying, "Of course, I trust my mother."

Mera glanced at Arthur's aroused lower body and said disdainfully, "You get aroused by this? You disgust me, Arthur."

Upon hearing this, Arthur looked down and realized he had indeed become aroused, and was immediately embarrassed. He stammered, "I...I didn't...I just..."

Mera coldly interrupted him, saying, "Stop, don't say anymore."

Arthur's face flushed red, unsure of what to do. He tried to suppress his physical reaction, but it seemed the more he suppressed it, the stronger it became. He had indeed reacted because of imagining his mother and Xiao Xian doing something in the garden.

Mera stared coldly at Arthur, her eyes filled with disgust. "Do you have a penchant for being cuckolded?"

Arthur's face grew even more embarrassed, and he hurriedly shook his head, explaining, "No, I don't have that kind of hobby, I just..."

"Alright, you don't need to explain anymore," Mera said coldly. "You're just excited about your mother being with other men. I really misjudged you, Arthur. Not only did you sleep with him, but you also let Atlanna and Abin be together."

After saying that, Mera stopped listening to Arthur's explanation, snorted coldly, and said with disdain in her eyes, "Arthur, you disgust me." With that, she turned and left, leaving Arthur standing there alone.

To Arthur's surprise, after being caught by Mera, he felt not only embarrassed but also an unprecedented excitement. His heart raced, his breathing became rapid, and the image of Mera's disdain for him kept replaying in his mind. The feeling of being scolded and humiliated actually gave him a strange sense of pleasure.

Arthur looked down at his own reaction, his heart filled with contradiction and confusion. Why was he feeling excited in this situation? Had he really become like Bruce? Arthur tried to calm himself down, but the impulse within him was difficult to suppress.

Meanwhile, Xiao Xian and Atlana strolled through the palace's coral garden. Moonlight spilled into the tranquil courtyard, casting a soft glow over the surroundings.

The two walked to a secluded corner where various precious and enormous coral species were planted, making it difficult for outsiders to see what the people inside were doing. Atlana stopped, turned to face Xiao Xian, and her eyes gleamed with undisguised lust.

"Mr. Abin," Atlana's voice was husky and seductive, "would you like to come for a walk with me here?"

Xiao Xian naturally wouldn't refuse such an invitation, and the two walked side by side. Atlana deliberately lagged behind by half a step, occasionally brushing her buttocks lightly against Xiao Xian's thigh.

Walking into a coral reef, Atlanna suddenly reached out and grabbed Xiao Xian's arm. With a strong pull, she fell into Xiao Xian's embrace.

"Mr. Abin," Atlana whispered in his ear, "I want you."

Xiao Xian looked down at the beauty in his arms, and saw that her cheeks were flushed and her eyes were full of longing.

"Come with me," Atlana said, taking Xiao Xian's hand and leading him toward a secluded coral mountain. The mountain had a unique shape, resembling a natural cave structure. The entrance to the cave was blocked by a maze of coral reefs, making it difficult to find the cave without knowing the way.

Atlana took Xiao Xian's hand and stepped into the cave. The cave walls were decorated with some glowing seashells, adding a touch of ambiguity to the interior.

"This place is very special," Xiao Xian said, looking around with some surprise.

Atlana chuckled softly, "Yes, it's perfect for doing some private things. This is where my father Arthur and I used to go on dates when the previous Sea King was still around." As she finished speaking, her alluring eyes stared intently at Xiao Xian.

"However, from now on, he doesn't need to come anymore. This place belongs to you and me," Atlana added, her tone resolute.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xian's heart stirred. It seemed that Atlana had made up her mind to break up with Arthur's father and instead fall into his arms.

"I'm curious if Arthur knows about this place?" Xiao Xian asked, looking at the coral cave. If the Sea King didn't know, Xiao Xian would have to send someone to arrange a coincidence to let the Sea King know.

"His father brought him here when he was little. But he hasn't come back since. Don't worry, I'll protect you. Even if Arthur finds out, I won't let him do anything to you," Atlana said, shaking her head.

"Then wouldn't I be able to be Arthur's stepfather?" Xiao Xian joked.

Atlana gave Xiao Xian a playful glare. "Ugh, you still joke like that. Arthur will be furious if he finds out." But there was no real anger in her tone; instead, it carried a hint of sweetness.

Seeing this, Xiao Xian moved even closer to Atlana, placing one hand on her waist. "Shouldn't we do something fun now?"

Atlana felt Xiao Xian's burning gaze, and a shiver ran through her body. She shifted her body, pressing herself closer to Xiao Xian. "You bad guy, all you do is bully me."

Arthur sat in the restaurant, Mera's words echoing in his mind. Her contempt and disgust filled him with shame, but also stirred up a complex mix of emotions deep within him. He couldn't help but wonder what Xiao Xian and his mother, Atlanna, were doing now; this curiosity made it impossible for him to sit still.

Finally, Arthur decided to go to the Coral Garden to look for Xiao Xian and Atlanna. He left the restaurant, feeling a mix of unease and anticipation, and hurried towards the Coral Garden. However, once he arrived, he couldn't find them anywhere. Arthur searched the garden, his anxiety growing.

Suddenly, a memory surfaced in Arthur's mind. It was the coral cave where his father had taken him to see his mother, Atlanna, when he was a child. Arthur was shocked, unable to believe that his mother would take Xiao Xian to that cave. That place was a place filled with memories of his parents' love.

But at the same time, Arthur also felt an overwhelming joy and excitement. That complex emotion made him both afraid and expectant, as if an unknown mystery awaited him.

After hesitating for a moment, Arthur decided to go to the cave, hoping to find the answer.

Filled with fear, anticipation, and excitement, Arthur quietly made his way to the coral cave. His heart pounded faster and faster as he traveled, his mind racing with various possible scenarios. He imagined his mother and Xiao Xian's intimate moments in the cave, a scene that gave him a strange thrill.

The cave entrance was hidden among a dense coral reef. Arthur navigated the obstacles with practiced ease and arrived at the cave entrance. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and then quietly entered the cave.

The cave was dark and quiet, with only the faint glow of some luminous seashells. Arthur held his breath and carefully entered, trying not to make a sound.

Arthur followed the familiar path, and the deeper he went, the stronger his fear and excitement became.

Images of his mother and Xiao Xian here kept flashing through Arthur's mind. Their intimate interaction made his heart race. At the same time, Arthur seemed to hear his mother Atlanna's voice. That voice was completely different from Atlanna's normal, noble, and dignified voice. It sounded more like the sound of playing cards, and the kind of sound where someone was about to surrender.
