"Angel Bravely Enters Gang, Rescues Abducted Children!"
"The True Superhero—Angel!"
"Superhero Angel Lives Up to His Name!"
The next day, almost all of New York's newspapers featured Angel saving the child hostages on their front pages.
Other newspapers had long been envious of The Observer Daily for always having exclusive reports on Angel. This time, Angel appeared publicly at the Police station and did such a big thing, so other newspapers naturally wouldn't miss such eye-catching news.
Only a few newspapers without first-hand information reported on the bomb attack suffered by the Raiders Gang.
It introduced the leader of the new Gang, named Black Mask.
But this news of Gang infighting didn't make any waves in front of the overwhelming Angel news.
If before Angel was only heavily promoted by two small newspapers, and other newspapers only reported on him superficially, this time it was a carnival for the entire New York news industry.
Thanks to the influence of The Observer Daily and The Collector Daily, other media also followed their lead, firmly associating Superheroes with Angel.
Thus, Superhero Angel appeared truly and concretely before people for the first time.
Many people knew Angel's name before, but they weren't sure if he was real and didn't take it too seriously. Now, having rescued so many child hostages in plain sight, including two children of wealthy New York businessmen, it immediately caused a sensation.
"Name: Warren Worthington"
"Level: C"
"Fame: 57 (Well-known)"
"Unlock Reward: Tier Two (Claimable)"
"Tier Two Reward: Choose one of two options: gain a pair of wings that can change size, or gain the skill Combat Lv.3."
To be honest, Fang Yuan really wanted the wings, after all, who doesn't long for free flight?
However, although the Tier Two reward added the ability to change size compared to Tier One, there was still a possibility of being discovered.
At least if he suddenly grew a pair of wings on his back, Mystique would definitely notice.
Fang Yuan didn't want others to know that he could gain abilities from a Mutant.
Moreover, judging by this trend, Warren's Tier Three reward should include freely retractable wings, so Fang Yuan wasn't in a hurry at all.
"Choose skill."
Combat Lv.3 instantly integrated, and many combat knowledge immediately appeared in Fang Yuan's mind.
To his surprise, Fang Yuan originally thought that a skill level of only Lv.3 wouldn't be very powerful, but he didn't expect it to include most combat styles, and he had reached an introductory level in each.
"Hey, that's pretty good." Fang Yuan chuckled.
His physical fitness was excellent, but he used to only be able to throw wild punches when fighting. Now, he could finally fight with a method.
"Mr. Fang, Mr. Fang!"
At this moment, Warren stumbled in, carrying a large stack of newspapers.
"All the newspapers are saying I'm a Superhero!" Warren's face was filled with uncontrollable joy, his mouth almost stretching to his molars.
"I've really become a Superhero acknowledged by everyone!"
Fang Yuan patted Warren's shoulder, and after he calmed down a bit, he said solemnly, "Warren, from the first time you saved that family of three, whether others acknowledge it or not, you were already a Superhero!"
Although whether Fang Yuan himself was a positive figure was debatable, for his employees, positive emotions must be maximized.
"Mm!"
Warren looked at Fang Yuan eagerly, his eyes full of admiration. To him, Fang Yuan was the person who changed his life, so he listened to everything Fang Yuan said.
Having grown up struggling, Warren knew how difficult it was for someone to give him a hand.
"As long as it's Mr. Fang, I'll do anything!"
Emotion Perception continuously harvested gratitude and closeness from Warren, and Mind Reading also picked up this thought from Warren, making Fang Yuan very pleased.
He hadn't misjudged him.
Now that Superhero Angel had established himself, Fang Yuan needed to start the next phase of his plan.
Next, he needed to make the public accept Mutant Angel.
"Warren, next I'll take you to two more Gang strongholds." Fang Yuan instructed.
The Black Robe Gang had established itself in the Bronx with its fierce reputation from last night, so Fang Yuan also obtained more intelligence.
Most Gangs could find out what bad things other Gangs had done.
"Okay!" Warren certainly wouldn't refuse.
"In the future, you'll adjust your schedule. You don't need to stay up all night, and you'll have more time during the day to do other things."
Fang Yuan suddenly asked, "What do you think of the church?"
"The church?" Warren was a bit strange, but still answered honestly, "I don't know much about it."
"If I asked you to work for the church, would you accept?" Fang Yuan asked again.
"No problem."
Warren agreed without hesitation.
"But..." Warren's expression suddenly became a bit conflicted, and he spoke hesitantly, "Mr. Fang, entering the church... does that mean... I can't get married?"
"Uh."
Fang Yuan was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
"Just become a pastor; only Catholics can't get married."
"Oh, that's good, hehe." Warren chuckled foolishly, relieved.
Fang Yuan shook his head and sent the silly boy away.
Then he tidied himself up. Raven had given him a heads-up that Charles and Eric would both be back tonight, so everyone would gather at the bar.
Fang Yuan had no objection; it was a good opportunity to show his achievements to the big boss and also find out how far the plot had progressed.
At this time, bars in the United States were already similar to those of later generations: dim lights and swaying crowds, which Fang Yuan was already very familiar with.
Because of his excellent appearance, Fang Yuan had rejected many pretty young ladies along the way. If he wasn't meeting Professor X and the others tonight, Fang Yuan would have been very happy to accept their invitations.
"Quite popular, huh?"
After finding a seat, Eric was the first to tease.
Fang Yuan shrugged, "You can't be envious."
Raven was a bit moody, but after Fang Yuan specifically came over and sat next to her, those emotions disappeared without a trace.
Mystique was still naive at this time and easily appeased.
"We all saw the newspapers." Charles was a bit more serious, he said impatiently, "Angel has become a very famous Superhero, and it's only been less than half a month."
He and Eric exchanged glances, seeing surprise in each other's eyes: "It's incredible!"
"I never thought that one day Mutants would be admired by humans." Even Eric, who usually held a hardline stance, was thoroughly convinced. Fang Yuan had indeed shown him another path.
"This is just the beginning, New York alone isn't enough." Fang Yuan didn't become complacent under their praise.
This was just the beginning; Angel was just a stepping stone.
The ones Fang Yuan truly wanted to promote were the two sitting in front of him.
"Whatever resources you need, just tell me." Charles understood and immediately said, "Even if you need some unconventional help, as long as it doesn't harm others, it's fine."
The young Professor X was not stingy with using his abilities to achieve what was needed.
"Me too." Eric also said the same.
With their words, Fang Yuan was relieved; now it would be even easier for him to implement his plan.
Then Fang Yuan inquired, "By the way, how is your Mutant team coming along?"
