[More importantly, she agreed! She agreed!!]
This is a milestone in comedy superstar Arthur's journey to success!
Watching his female neighbor's departing figure, Arthur was overjoyed!
[They even got so excited they started dancing!]
Chapter 108 Arthur loses his job, Tony: As a genius, it's only natural for him to change the world!
"Wow~ I feel like I have a chance~" Eros Chocolate World, Metata.
"The female neighbor also had a good impression of Arthur. Not only did she not feel disgusted or resentful that Arthur was following her, but she also openly came over to ask Arthur questions. She never thought that Arthur would hurt her!" Xia Ling, Zhen Hun Jie world.
"Arthur is so composed when he's with his female neighbor! He doesn't laugh out loud at all because he's nervous. The two of them talk so comfortably. They're really a good match~" Your Majesty, have mercy on me, Lu Xiaoyu.
"Hmm, the other party even brought a child. Arthur has good taste, just a bit too dark-skinned." (From the Three Kingdoms era, Cao Cao)
"? The main point is the child? Okay, okay, I'll be fine once I see who it is." Zhang Chulan from Under One Person World.
"?" The Three Kingdoms world, Cao Cao.
[The next day, at the children's hospital.]
Arthur, dressed as a clown, is trying his best to cheer up the sick child in the room.
Yesterday's conversation with his female neighbor rekindled his hope for life.
Even though it was just a tiny glimmer of hope in a world filled with despair, Arthur desperately tried to grasp it!
Thinking this, Arthur jumped even harder.
The elderly, children, nurses—except for the doctor performing the examination—everyone was glued to Arthur, swaying to his rhythm.
"If you feel happy, stomp your feet!"
"Slap! Slap!"
Arthur was too excited; in his haste, something black slipped out from under his trouser leg, but he didn't notice it immediately.
"If you feel happy, shout 'Hooray!'"
【"ah!"】
This time, a nurse noticed the object on the floor and, instead of singing along to the music, screamed in terror!
Arthur finally noticed the pistol on the ground! He quickly reached for it, but the unexpected turn of events caused him to kick the pistol even further away!
Everyone saw it!
When Arthur picked up the pistol and hid it, everyone present fell silent.
The children were still laughing happily, seemingly confused as to why Arthur had suddenly stopped moving. Was it because they hadn't been there to support him?
[But amidst the children's even more joyful laughter, none of the doctors, nurses, or even Arthur could laugh...]
“This…this…” Xia Ling in the world of Zhenhun Street.
Why is this happening? Everything seems to be moving in a positive direction. Arthur has found new salvation, his boss has assigned him a new job, the children are laughing, and even the doctors and nurses are moved by Arthur's laughter.
Because of this gun, everything changed!
This gun, originally intended for self-defense, ultimately became yet another moment of despair for Arthur!
"He's carrying a gun during the performance; Arthur might be kicked out of the hospital as a dangerous individual." —Zhang Chulan, Under One Person World.
"It's not that simple. It's probably more than that. Who knows what a boss who constantly suppresses his employees would think if they always carried guns? To eliminate this threat, the boss would most likely fire Arthur." - Wang Lu, from the world of Once Upon a Time in a Spirit Sword Mountain.
"Sigh~ It's obvious that the city's economy is in a slump right now. Under these circumstances, those who can afford to get sick are probably all rich and powerful. They will definitely protect their children and won't let someone like Arthur, whom they see as a 'dangerous element,' appear in front of their children again..." Doraemon world, Nobita Tamako.
As expected, Arthur was kicked out of the hospital.
And soon after, he received a call from his boss.
"Haite, please, I love this job."
Arthur pleaded desperately, while Boss Haite's voice remained cold.
"Arthur, I need to know why you brought a gun to the children's hospital."
Arthur wanted to explain that it was a prop gun, part of his performance.
"That's utter nonsense! Nonsense! Why would the Joker carry a gun with him?"
"Besides, Randall told me that you wanted to buy a .38 caliber rifle from him last week."
Hearing his boss's words, Arthur was shocked and stunned. Wasn't Randall the one who gave him the gun? Why would he...?
"You're a mess, Arthur, and you're lying!"
"You're fired!"
The boss ruthlessly sentenced Arthur to death! This was a further blow to Arthur, who was already struggling financially!
[The phone call was hung up on, I lost my job, was betrayed by colleagues, felt powerless and distrusted, and experienced loneliness, frustration, and pain!]
【"Snapped!"】
Arthur slammed his head against the glass of the phone booth! The sturdy glass instantly cracked and splintered!
It seems the physical pain can offset the tearing despair in my heart!
"Hahahaha! As long as you're still a weakling, no matter how you try to justify yourself, you're wrong!" - Doflamingo, One Piece world.
"Betrayal! Betrayal again! Hahahaha, a bunch of rats and sparrows!!" Genshin Impact world, scattered soldiers.
“Before, Arthur and his mother would share their meager food, but now, Arthur has lost his job... How is he going to survive…” Ling Cage World, Ran Bing.
"Tch!" Tony Stark, Marvel Universe.
Tony grew increasingly annoyed. He had initially thought Arthur's life would gradually improve, but life never listens to sorrowful arguments.
"Jarvis~" Tony called softly to his best assistant, as if he were also making some kind of decision for himself.
"I'm here, sir. How can I help you?"
"Stop cracking the confidential database for now. Help me investigate this Arthur..."
"Sir, you already asked me to search. There are 10876 people named Arthur in the whole United States, but the one on the screen is not there. Also, there is no such place as Gotham City in the whole United States."
"Do not……"
Tony's voice was slightly out of breath, as if he was about to do something earth-shattering!
“What I mean is, find all the poor people in all of America like Arthur, and match them with the nearest job and notify them. As for the rest…”
"Whoo~"
Tony took a deep breath, then his gaze hardened.
"No matter how many people are left, recruit them all to Stark Industries! Immediately use the existing funds to purchase production lines in various industries and strive to give everyone a job as soon as possible."
"Sir, diversifying into multiple industries could cause Stark's stock to fall, and there will also be other business owners in other sectors..."
"Investigate everyone's background thoroughly, and arrange for them to go, as long as they are not wicked, lazy, or greedy."
“Okay, sir. Also, I must remind you that this nationwide data algorithm will consume more than 95% of my computing power, and the work of deciphering the network's confidential database will be postponed indefinitely.”
Tony sat in his chair, feigning sleep. What awaited him next was likely a storm of criticism from the board of directors, and a united ostracization from all the wealthy people in America! Even the government might, under such pressure…
Too often, profit can only be extracted from people, and Tony's actions have threatened the interests of too many people!
"The myriad realms, what a grand epic! Let this bloody storm once again demonstrate to the world the madness of genius!"
After an unknown amount of time, Tony muttered to himself.
That's right, he is a world-renowned super genius!
Now, a genius wants to start changing the world!
Now, geniuses are about to change the world!
He wants to do it, and he can do it!
Chapter 109 The Tram Crisis: An Unspeakable Sorrow!
As Arthur boarded the tram home, he stared blankly out the window at the scenery. From today onwards, he was unemployed.
He was still wearing the clown costume he used for hospital performances, and his face was painted with clown makeup for a cheerful laugh, but Arthur simply couldn't manage a smile.
From this day forward, I will no longer be the clown...
[Perhaps I'll never have the chance to become a comedy superstar again...]
Arthur thought dejectedly, his eyes growing increasingly forlorn.
The tram was nearly empty late at night, except for Arthur, a woman reading a book, and three young men who appeared to be drinking.
"I'm telling you, she wants my phone number, which we should have left with her."
"You're dreaming, buddy. She's not interested at all."
"Are you crazy? Didn't you see how close we were when we were dancing? She's fallen in love with me..."
"He can't wait to get away from you."
A commotion arose from the side. Arthur looked over and saw three young men huddled together. One was trying to show off his charm to his companion, while the other declared him an idiot.
The last person targeted the last girl in the carriage.
"Want some fries? Hey~~?"
The girl pretended not to hear, but the man had no intention of letting her off the hook so easily.
"I'm talking to you, hello!"
"No, thank you."
The girl responded politely, but she knew she was being watched.
"Are you sure? It really tastes delicious."
The man's two companions also turned their attention to the girl, teasingly throwing fries at her while admiring her pretty face.
Don't ignore him; he's very friendly to you.
"Tch, you can find scum like this everywhere." - Red-Eyed Hero World, Evil Wolf.
"Hmph! You despicable scoundrel." Diluc in the Genshin Impact world.
"If I were in that city, I would definitely teach them a lesson!" - Peter Parker, Spider-Man World.
"Me too!" Peter Parker, The Amazing Spider-Man universe.
"Me too!" - Peter Parker, Marvel Universe.
"Eh?"*3
"Will Arthur stop them? With that pistol..." In the world of Soul Street, Xia Ling was somewhat lost. She hoped Arthur could save the girl, but if it involved a gun...
Some things can only be done once, and some can only be done countless times. But Arthur, living in a world of despair and sorrow, could he really resist using the power in his hands?
Xia Ling was unaware of this, but Cao Xuanliang, who was observing Xia Ling's cultivation, noticed the confusion in her heart and spoke up.
"Sister Xia Ling, the power that strength and tools can unleash ultimately depends on one's heart!"
"Sister Xia Ling, think back to the Roluowu people. Their power and history made it impossible for the world to accept them."
"But when Mamaka led everyone to fulfill their oath and never wanted to break it even in the face of life-or-death crisis, even though they still possessed overwhelming strength, they had already accomplished something that others could accept about them."
"This is the power of the heart!"
The girl cast a pleading look at Arthur. Normally, Arthur might have helped, but today, he had suffered too much malice. He snorted, turned his head away, and decided he didn't want to get involved anymore.
However, things in life rarely go as planned...
[While the group was jokingly teasing the girl, trying to add some fun to the quiet night.]
"Hahahaha!"
A sudden burst of maniacal laughter erupted in the otherwise calm carriage, the three people's actions now seemingly filled with contemptuous mockery.
That's right, Arthur's acting up again!
"Hahahaha!"
