American comics: Something is wrong with this superhero world

Chapter 53 Totally Unpredictable

"You go to the party first, I have something to do." After handing the car to the waiter, Harry smiled at Xiao Xian.

"Okay." Xiao Xian shrugged and followed the staff to the party venue. When he walked into a corridor, Xiao Xian suddenly felt like someone was staring at him from behind. Turning around, he saw Harry not far behind him.

At this time, Harry was holding a pistol and wearing a pair of glasses. There was some white powdery substance under his nostrils. When he saw Xiao Xian looking back, Harry tapped the frame of his glasses and said to Xiao Xian:

"You said you could recover from a headshot, right?"

"That's why I hate those drug-addled idiots the most. They have no logic at all and are totally unpredictable." Xiao Xian showed no fear. He pulled out a pistol from his arms and aimed it at Harry's head. "Your father is also a man. How did he raise a idiot son like you?"

Xiao Xian also has those glasses, but he didn't bring them today. They are glasses with recording function from the Osborne Group, and Harry turned on the recording mode twice.

Xiao Xian could tolerate it for the sake of the mission and interests, but he didn't like being a grandson. He couldn't stand being shot in the head and having it recorded as a firework for entertainment. If the mission reward was Superman's Man of Steel, Xiao Xian could still consider it, but with just this little thing, Xiao Xian really had no interest in continuing to play with this rich second generation who had damaged his brain from taking drugs.

At worst, he could quit the Osborne Group. When he went to court, half of the jury would definitely be on his side. Even if the Osborne Group was powerful and played dirty, Xiao Xian could just change his identity if nothing worked.

Relying on the system, or even without the system, Xiao Xian relies on his existing super charm and super regeneration, plus his understanding of Marvel DC, and he is confident that he can surpass the strength of the Osborn Group.

I just don't know whether he was strong enough for revenge first, or whether the Osborns fell first because of Harry or the White Queen. Wait, couldn't it be that the White Queen magnified Harry's depravity, making him make unreliable friends, causing him to take more and more drugs and become like this?

But then again, the superheroes in this crappy place are like that, so it's reasonable for the supervillains to act a little outrageously.

Of course, there is no need to run away if there is a falling out. If the plan goes well, Xiao Xian will be able to deal with Osborne and his son quickly.

"How dare you point a gun at me?" Harry looked at Xiao Xian in disbelief as he pointed the gun at his head. Under the threat of death, he came out of his daze a little.

"Do you know who I am? Harry Osborn! The son of the president of Osborn Corporation! You won't die if you get shot in the head! Why are you reacting so strongly?"

"You're laughing. I thought you wouldn't die if you were shot in the head like me." Xiao Xiansong released the safety of his gun and looked at Osborne unceremoniously.
"What if my superpowers suddenly fail? I don't dare to gamble. I am acting in self-defense. But I don't know if your father can save your life if I blow your head off?"

"Don't get excited, I'm just joking with you." Seeing that Xiao Xian really dared to shoot, Harry put down the gun in his hand. Not to mention that Xiao Xian would not die if he was shot in the head, even if both of them would die, Harry was reluctant to trade one for one with a guy like Xiao Xian.

"Ahaha~ You'd better stop joking with me, because I take things seriously easily." Seeing this, Xiao Xian re-fastened the safety and looked at Harry and said, "I know you think you are superior to others, but in the face of death, everyone is equal, at least for you."

"Hmph~ You're going to regret this."

Harry saw Xiao Xian put away the gun, said something harsh and then ran away. Xiao Xian vaguely saw his wet pants and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

This Harry Osborn is too lame.

But it seems that I don't have to attend the party now? Xiao Xian thought about it and decided to wait for a while. Sure enough, not long after, Norman Osborn called and accused Xiao Xian aggressively, "Why are you pointing a gun at my son's head?!"

"Because your son was high on drugs and pointed a gun at my head and wanted to shoot me in the head?" Xiao Xian asked back.

".You won't die, right?!" Norman Osborn continued to roar after a moment of silence.

"That doesn't mean I'm willing to be shot in the head and recorded for entertainment." Xiao Xian replied calmly, "I work to have a better life, not to torture myself."

"You signed the contract. Do you know how much you will have to pay if you breach it? I have ten thousand ways to force you to breach it!" Norman Osborn continued to roar, "And aren't you afraid that I will freeze you out and prevent you from making a debut for the rest of your life!"

"First of all, the contract is only for one year. Secondly, if I don't make a debut, the loss to the company and you will be greater than mine. Finally, I can easily find two rich women to get 50 million."

Xiao Xian shrugged, there was no fear in his tone. If he didn't have a backup plan, why would he sign that kind of contract? Besides, the worst that could happen is he could just run away.

"Are you provoking me? Chairman and CEO of Osborn Group." Norman Osborn said in a cold tone, "This is not a problem that can be solved by liquidated damages. Kid, you know nothing about the power of capital."

"How could that be, Mr. Norman? We are friends. I am responsible for helping you resolve Spider-Man's false accusation and ease family conflicts. I just don't know how Master Harry will react when he finds out that you are looking for me to steal his girlfriend. In addition, I got some interesting things from Spider-Man. There is someone's handwriting on it. I wonder whose handwriting it is? How about you help me take a look?"

Xiao Xian threatened Osborne and secretly threatened the White Queen

"By the way, I'm pretty hard to kill. Things like getting hit by a truck or being shot in the back seven times to commit suicide are no big deal to me."

"You'd better think carefully before you speak, kid. I never accept threats." Norman Osborn said in a deep tone, but the murderous intent was obviously not as strong as before. I wonder how much contribution the White Queen made in this.

"Of course, Mr. Norman, I respect you very much. In fact, I am very happy working under you. There is no need to make such a fuss over your son's joke, right?" Xiao Xian replied neither servile nor arrogant, "Personally, I am still very happy to continue working under you."

"Promise me that this won't happen again. And I don't want to hear about the false accusation and Mary Jane anymore. You don't need to worry about these two things in the future. Finally, bring the medicine to me, and I can pretend that nothing happened today."

Norman Osborn was silent for a moment and then said that although he had no intention of forgiving this audacious guy, it was more important to stabilize Xiao Xian at the moment. After all, Xiao Xian's super regeneration ability would make it very difficult for him to create an accident to silence someone, especially when Xiao Xian was alert in advance.

"That's great, Mr. Norman. You are such a reasonable and magnanimous person." Xiao Xian smiled and said, "I promise this won't happen again."

Xiao Xian promised that he would never let Harry Osborn point a gun at his head again and get away with it.

The plan has changed, but Xiao Xian glanced at the system task bar. Although Norman canceled the task, the system did not. From the beginning to the end, what Xiao Xian cared about was not the benefits promised by Norman, but the rewards of the system. With super charm (+), Xiao Xian's plan can still be implemented, but the changes are a bit bigger.
