New York at night is always bustling.
Whether it's the 60s or the 21st century, the local customs and traditions here are basically the same.
"Robbery!"
"Help!"
In an alley, a group of five thugs were committing a crime against a family of three.
After all, it's a place nicknamed Little Gotham, so the local customs are definitely very 'simple'.
The family of three consisted of a couple with a young boy, and with the factors of night and an alley, it was very Gotham-esque.
Normally, these cries for help would be the city's unique background music; everyone could hear them, but no one cared.
But tonight was an exception.
A Shadow suddenly dropped from above, startling the thugs, who quickly restrained their hostages and watched him with full alert.
From his build, it could be determined that it was a man, but he wore a White mask on his face, making his appearance unclear.
At this moment, one of the thugs looked up and suddenly asked loudly, "How did he get down?"
Only then did the others notice that the walls of the buildings on both sides of the alley didn't even have windows; this masked man couldn't have jumped from the rooftop, could he?
"Who are you?" the thug leader asked loudly. He was a burly, fat man with a mean face.
Although he noticed that the man's back was bulging, the thug leader wasn't afraid at all.
He relied on the fact that his side had more people, so his momentum was strong.
The masked man slightly raised his head and replied in a deep voice, "I am..."
Boom!
A pair of pure White wings suddenly burst open behind him, and then he continued, under the shocked gaze of everyone, "Angel!"
"Monster!" the thug leader shrieked, then quickly shut his mouth.
Then, as if eager to reclaim his lost face, the thug leader directly led his four subordinates and charged towards Angel.
For the next two minutes, the robbed family of three witnessed firsthand Angel's feat of taking on five.
Although Angel's boxing and kicking were clearly rusty, his pair of wings greatly helped his combat power, and the thugs were quickly defeated.
The thugs fled in a panic, leaving Angel to receive the thanks of the family of three.
"Click!"
"Click!"
In a corner with a good view in the distance, two men were constantly taking photos of Angel with their cameras.
"Take good pictures, get every angle!" Fang Yuan instructed the two.
"No problem!"
At this moment, Angel in the alley bid farewell to the family of three and flew away, flapping his wings directly.
"Go interview them quickly, this is first-hand news!"
Fang Yuan urged quickly.
"If your articles are well-written, your salary will be doubled this month!"
The two reporters immediately became energized, yelling and rushing towards the family of three, almost making the family think that the second wave of robbers had arrived.
Not long after they left, a person came up behind Fang Yuan.
"Well done, Warren." Fang Yuan turned and patted Angel's shoulder.
The person who had just displayed great power was Angel, but at this moment, he had taken off his mask, revealing a young face, and flashed a big smile at Fang Yuan.
Warren Worthington.
The Mutant Angel, whose ability is to have a pair of White wings, is also a well-known figure among the X-Men.
However, the Angel in the comics is named Warren Worthington III, a wealthy magnate who inherited his family business.
The one by Fang Yuan's side doesn't have "III" in his name, so he doesn't have much money either.
Fang Yuan was quite surprised when he found him on the list of good Mutants given by Charles.
Because there were two Angels in the movies, but neither matched this person's age. However, he didn't dwell on it. The moment he saw Warren, he decided he would be the first Superhero he would introduce.
No other reason, Warren's eyes were simply too clear, just like a fresh-faced college student.
Easy to fool.
Ahem, actually, Fang Yuan wasn't entirely due to this. There were two main reasons.
First, Warren's strength wasn't high.
This is not a derogatory term; Fang Yuan planned to debut the entire Mutant community. If he introduced super-powerful, World-shaking characters right away, it would definitely scare humans.
Warren was just right; he could handle a few people but was still within an acceptable range.
The second and most important reason was Warren's Mutant ability.
Those pure White wings were simply too distinctive.
He was the kind of Mutant whom people could recognize at a glance without him even introducing himself.
The first Mutant Superhero is very important.
If Mutants want to break new ground and be accepted by the World, a bad first impression will lead to Mutants being ostracized.
And in this Western-background World, once Warren's image with his pure White wings is revealed, let alone being ostracized, it would be normal for people to pray to him!
The Angel from mythology brought into reality can easily make people accept the idea that Mutants are not aliens but a gift.
Not to mention Warren is only 19 this year, an age easily fooled.
Although Fang Yuan is also only 20 in this World, his knowledge is not comparable to Warren's.
Fang Yuan just told him that by following him, he could make a lot of money and gain people's admiration, and Warren eagerly followed him.
"Are you injured?" Fang Yuan asked with concern.
Although he had already seen that Warren was not injured, his eyes still continuously searched Warren's body. Such a caring demeanor warmed Warren's heart.
"No, no." Warren's reply was a bit hesitant; he wasn't quite used to someone caring about him so much.
[Emotion Perception (C-rank)] Fang Yuan secretly smiled as he perceived the gratitude emanating from Warren.
To deal with such a big boy, he only needed to use one-tenth of the skill he used to deal with the Mermaid to greatly increase his favorability.
At the same time, [Mind Reading (C-rank)] also read a thought from Warren's mind.
"Mr. Fang is so kind."
Fang Yuan's smile grew even wider.
Perhaps because his rank wasn't very high, Fang Yuan found that [Mind Reading] couldn't read all thoughts. Often, when the other party's emotions fluctuated greatly or a certain thought was particularly strong, Fang Yuan could read it.
He looked at Warren's face, which was calm, but his heart was filled with increased favorability towards him, and he silently thought that he hadn't chosen the wrong person.
He liked people like this; it was much less worrisome than keeping fish.
"Mr. Fang, how did you know there were robbers here?" Warren asked.
"In New York, it's quite easy to find a few robbers," Fang Yuan casually bluffed.
Warren, however, nodded in agreement.
He was a New York native; he could testify that Fang Yuan was right.
"Alright, Warren, you should go back and rest first." Fang Yuan made arrangements for his subordinate, "Tomorrow, I'll find you a martial arts instructor. If you want to be a Superhero, you should practice your skills more."
"Okay!"
The reason Warren accepted Fang Yuan's invitation was to become a Superhero, so he naturally followed Fang Yuan's advice completely.
After Angel left, a Gang of five stealthily met with Fang Yuan in a hidden corner.
If Warren were still there, he would have realized that they were none other than the robbers who had attacked the family of three!
How could there be so many coincidences? Everything was just Fang Yuan's careful arrangement.
"Sorry, Boss, we didn't get the stuff."
The leader of the thugs hung his head, speaking timidly.
The other four subordinates didn't even dare to look at Fang Yuan, as they had witnessed his abilities; he could even bend steel bars, let alone their heads.
"You're useless. How can you follow me like this?" Fang Yuan had already covered his face and put on a jacket, and his feigned angry demeanor still scared the few, "You couldn't even manage to rob something."
"Butch, you've disappointed me greatly."
The thug leader named Butch quickly mustered his courage to explain, "Boss, we tried our best, but there was a monster..."
Fang Yuan waved his hand to interrupt him, "I don't accept explanations. I'm only giving you one more chance. Go collect information on the surrounding Gangs and give it to me the day after tomorrow. If you still can't do it this time, then get out."
Butch and the others felt as if they had been granted a general pardon, repeatedly agreeing and then running off.
After everyone had left, Fang Yuan just shook his head with a smile.
Plan successful. Angel's first shot was extremely good.
Even if the robbers were arranged by Fang Yuan, as long as others didn't know, it was fine. If he really let Angel go fight crime, with Warren being so weak now, what if something went wrong?
Isn't it pretty good now?
Angel got some training, and the public was saved. A perfect ending.
Who said being a Superhero was difficult?
