American Comics: Something's Wrong with This Superhero World

Chapter 39 Captain America's Scandal

Although Tomie looked pitiful and earnestly said that she was still a virgin and that Xiao Xian could verify her identity at any time if he didn't believe her, Xiao Xian still didn't believe her even a single punctuation mark.

As for why Tomie dared to say she supported checking the goods at any time, Xiao Xian knew. Everyone has super regeneration, and this kind of trick can only fool innocent people who don't know the truth. If there were a device that could test a boy's first time, Xiao Xian could also say that his new body is still a virgin, and he has never even touched a girl or held her hand.

Of course, whether it was Tomie's first time or not was completely unimportant. After all, in Xiao Xian's eyes, Tomie's role was to complete missions, not to fall in love.

Putting aside the fact that Xiao Xian had no intention of negotiating, even if he wanted to, with so many beautiful women in the American comic book world—Supergirl, Catwoman, Black Cat, Gwen Stacy, etc.—wouldn't it be better for Xiao Xian to find anyone than to find Tomie?

If Tomie's true form were as beautiful as she appears, Xiao Xian wouldn't mind having a friendly match. But Tomie's true form could terrify Xiao Xian to the point of losing his sanity. Xiao Xian isn't so desperate as to be indiscriminate in his hunger.

Xiao Xian went back to his room and retrieved his spare phone. He took out his old phone, whose screen had shattered into pieces and whose entire body was twisted, and tried to remove the SIM card with a needle, only to find that it was completely impossible to remove.

Using a flathead screwdriver, Xiao Xian miraculously pried open the phone and violently removed the SIM card.

Luckily, the SIM card seemed to be working fine. Xiao Xian inserted it into the spare phone, and shortly after, a call came in.

"Huh? Is this Mr. Xiao Xian? I finally got through to you. I'm Eunice, the assistant to Manager Ike. Are you free this afternoon? Please come to the company. The manager wants to see you. He has something very important to discuss with you."

"Uh, okay, I'll be there in a bit." The mission required Xiao Xian to climb to the top of Osborn, so Xiao Xian didn't hesitate and immediately agreed to the request, just to put on a show for his supervisor for the time being.

"Okay, thank you for your support," the assistant replied with a smile.

Since the clone hadn't been retrieved yet and was close to the Osborn Group, Xiao Xian decided to use his regeneration ability to go there directly. After brandishing a knife for a while, Xiao Xian finally ran to Aunt Mei's house next door and used his face to take a bunch of medicines from Peter's collection.

Xiao Xian picked out potassium cyanide, which was said to be highly toxic and fast-acting online. He grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his mouth like it was a snack. This was definitely enough to kill him, but after waiting for ten minutes, nothing happened.

Ten minutes later, bored, Xiao Xian searched for the mechanism of cyanide poisoning. The mechanism was quite long, but Xiao Xian summarized it himself, mainly that it prevents human cells from using oxygen.

Fortunately, Xiao Xian can absorb nutrients without needing any oxygen or nutrients.

After flipping through the papers again, Xiao Xian found a drug labeled as highly poisonous but without any listed chemical ingredients. Judging from the amount inside, quite a bit had already been used. If Xiao Xian wasn't mistaken, this was the very drug Peter had used to poison the knife.

Thinking back to the feeling of being burned like that, Xiao Xian felt it would have been better to just use a knife.

In addition, Xiao Xian also found the medicine that Peter gave Aunt Mei. It also did not list the chemical ingredients, but it did list the effects.

After some deliberation, Xiao Xian finally chose a drug with anesthetic effects, applied it to the knife, aimed at the heart, and stabbed it forcefully. With a blink of an eye, Xiao Xian reappeared on the clock tower.

He glanced at his clothes. Thanks to the relatively weak power of the pistol bullet, although the bullet hit his head, it didn't shatter his head; it only left a hole. There wasn't much blood on his clothes. Xiao Xian took out a tissue and wiped the blood from between his eyebrows. He then touched the back of his head. Although the wound had healed and his hair had grown back, the bloodstains were still there.

"Never mind, I'll find a place to wash up on the way or when I get to Osborn. I just don't know if I'll be able to get a taxi then?"

After descending the clock tower, Xiao Xian walked to the roadside, intending to hail a taxi to Osborn. However, instead of a taxi, a Mercedes pulled up in front of him. A beautiful white woman with bright red lipstick rolled down the window and gave Xiao Xian a flirtatious wink.

"Hey handsome, want a ride?"

Super attractive, seems pretty good, at least I don't have to worry about not being able to get a taxi.

Xiao Xian sized up the white beauty. Her breasts and thighs were of uncertain length, but her black stockings were a plus. Her face was also very pretty. She was quite good-looking. With his super regeneration ability, Xiao Xian wasn't afraid of getting into an unlicensed car, so he opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.

"Handsome, where are you going?" the beautiful woman asked happily as she saw Xiao Xian get into the car.

"Osborn," Xiao Xian replied with a smile.

"I know Osborn well; it's nearby, I can get there in five minutes. But are you in a hurry? I know a place with nice scenery; perhaps I can take you there?" The beautiful woman smoothed her long hair and extended an invitation, feigning familiarity.

"Let's get there as soon as possible." So proactive? Xiao Xian glanced at her. From the car's perspective, he could see clearly that she had long legs. Although the woman looked pretty, business was more important. In the past, Xiao Xian had encountered proactive girls, but most of them were not of high quality and had never been this proactive.

This is truly the first time I've seen someone so high-quality and so proactive.

Was I not handsome enough before? And you even said you lacked the skill to drive a Ferrari with one hand?

"Oh, alright then." The beautiful woman was a little disappointed, but she still started the car and drove Xiao Xian to Osborn.

"I didn't drive here. If you're free, why don't you wait for me nearby and then take me home later?" Xiao Xian looked at the beautiful woman's profile and her ample bosom, and said after a moment's thought.

Although Xiao Xian is no longer in a situation where he can't get a taxi, if he stands on the street, no one knows whether the person who stops for him is an older woman or a beautiful young woman.

If we roll the dice, the one we get is most likely to be prettier than this beautiful lady. And if we encounter an older woman, we'll have to refuse to roll again. It's better to just call out to this beautiful lady later, and we can also take a look at the scenic spot she mentioned.

Actually, it doesn't matter whether she's beautiful or not; the main thing is that Xiao Xian likes to look at the scenery.

"Really? That's great! I'm fine. I'll give you my phone number. I'll wait for you nearby. Just call me when you come out." The beautiful woman was overjoyed and immediately smiled at Xiao Xian, "Handsome, what's your name?"

"Xiao Xian," Xiao Xian replied.

"Xiao Xian? You're Osborn's newest superhero? I saw you on the news today. I didn't expect you to be so handsome in person. You'll definitely be a star after your debut."

The beautiful woman exclaimed in surprise, "She used the character 'fire,' so she must know a lot about the inside story of superheroes these days."

"Really? Being handsome is all it takes to become famous?" Xiao Xian asked, trying to get information out of him.

"Of course, I'd join the Avengers if you were willing to risk everything. You're new to this industry, so I'll tell you a secret: you know Captain America, the national superhero, right?"

Although Xiao Xian's questions were obviously tactful, the beautiful woman couldn't help but reveal information to show off her wide network of contacts in front of such a handsome man, just like a guy showing off in front of a girl he likes.

"I know, what happened to him?" Xiao Xian's interest was piqued. Was there some juicy gossip here?

"He was competing with Green Arrow for a spot in the Avengers. At first, Green Arrow had the upper hand because of his wealth, but Captain America went all out to get a spot by sleeping with a powerful figure in the upper echelons of society."

"Huh?" Xiao Xian was stunned upon hearing this. Ah, this was so absurd yet somehow reasonable. "It can't be Peggy Carter, can it? Isn't she already married, and how old is she?"

"Huh? How did you know? Do you have inside connections too?" The beautiful woman was equally shocked upon hearing this.

"I heard it, I only heard it," Xiao Xian said, his lips twitching.
