Warren slowly descended to the ground with the three people he rescued. His landing spot was already surrounded by the public, and before he could even stand firm, many people reached out to touch him.
"Oh my God, these are real feathers!"
"So soft, just like a real Angel!"
The target of everyone's attention was almost entirely his wings.
And his appearance was broadcast live globally via cameras.
Old Tom and Old Jerry naturally wouldn't miss this big event. They squeezed together at the senior activity center, a rare occurrence, watching TV with a large group of people.
"So this is what an Angel really looks like, so young!" Old Tom stroked his chin. "He's almost as handsome as I was when I was young."
"Tsk!" Old Jerry scoffed, mercilessly exposing him. "I know how many girls you chased when you were young..."
Old Tom's face fell, and he quickly shouted, "I'm paying tonight!"
Old Jerry immediately shut up, and the people around them burst into laughter.
In other places, discussions about Mutants were even more unrestrained.
"This is a Mutant? Besides an extra pair of wings, he's no different from us."
"I want to have his baby!"
These were just some of the many reactions people had upon seeing Warren and realizing his Mutant identity.
At this moment, Warren rescued the blonde female reporter, who, in full view of the public and the cameras, immediately kissed Warren, eliciting gasps of surprise from the crowd.
"Haha, Warren has quite the luck with women." Fang Yuan chuckled softly to Eric. He was naturally very happy; ever since Warren appeared on the live broadcast, Warren's reputation had been steadily rising.
Fang Yuan didn't concern himself with the reward for now, as this was the most crucial moment: "Next, it depends on whether Warren remembers his lines."
The reporters had completely ignored that this was the President's speech. They all swarmed towards Warren's location, and the number of microphones around his mouth was so great that a person could stand on them.
"Pfft!"
"Pfft!"
Warren quickly flapped his wings twice, pushing the surrounding reporters back a bit, and then said loudly, "Ask whatever you want, one by one."
The chaotic scene of reporters finally subsided somewhat, but many reporters spoke at once, and Warren couldn't hear the questions clearly.
"Thump thump!"
At this moment, on the podium, President Kennedy, who had witnessed the entire event, suddenly tapped the microphone twice. After getting people's attention, he said, "Perhaps we can invite this... Superhero onto the stage?"
Kennedy paused in the middle, but ultimately chose the title of Superhero, elevating the Angel.
After all, it was a live broadcast, and what he said had to be politically correct.
With the President's personal endorsement, the atmosphere among the public became even more enthusiastic.
"Go, Angel!"
Someone shouted loudly, and others also continuously chanted Angel's name, gradually developing into a full-crowd chant.
"Angel!"
"Angel!"
On the live TV screen, Warren pursed his lips, then flapped his wings and leaped, flying directly onto the podium, standing next to Kennedy.
A security soldier came to stand in front of Kennedy, but Kennedy raised his hand to stop him.
"I don't want to be so far from a hero!" he said loudly.
That's why Kennedy was considered the most popular President, wasn't it?
Whether it was a show or genuine emotion, his words immediately made many people, including those in front of their televisions, feel good about him.
However, people's focus at this moment was not on Kennedy, but on the winged person beside him.
With Kennedy in control, the reporters present finally quieted down, and then Kennedy spoke first.
"Introduce yourself," Kennedy said with a bright smile and gentle tone.
Everyone else thought this was Kennedy's usual demeanor, but Kennedy had some unspeakable emotions in his heart.
It was Warren's first time facing such a large crowd, but fortunately, Fang Yuan had already prepared him. After taking a few deep breaths, Warren was finally able to speak normally.
He began according to the pre-prepared lines: "My name is Warren Worthington, and I am a... Mutant."
"Boom!"
The audience erupted.
The name Mutant was first publicly revealed by "The Neutralist Daily," but no one had come forward to admit it.
Warren was the first.
"What exactly is a Mutant?" a reporter asked, raising his microphone.
"We are also humans, just with some superpowers," Warren replied.
He continued, "Before I was 12, I was no different from an ordinary child, but suddenly one day I found wings growing on my back."
"I've read "The Neutralist Daily." Many Mutant companions who don't wish to reveal their identities, like me, gained superpowers at different times in their growth."
"From a scientific perspective, this is a genetic mutation, but it is undeniable that we are still human!"
While Warren defined Mutants, he also gave "The Neutralist Daily" a global boost.
Of course, this was all Fang Yuan's idea.
The microphone passed to another reporter: "Why did you become a Superhero?"
At this, Warren replied solemnly, "Someone who changed my destiny told me a saying."
"With great power comes great responsibility!"
"Since I have special abilities that can help others, I went and did it!"
As soon as he uttered the phrase "With great power comes great responsibility," it immediately resonated with all listeners.
Although in Fang Yuan's previous life, this phrase had been mocked countless times as toxic platitudes and a way to deceive people.
But in this public setting, no one dared to say it was problematic.
The Angel had set an example; any objections had to be held back.
Moreover, this statement was as correct as could be. The image of Angel as a Superhero was instantly established, and the entire Mutant group also benefited greatly.
Spider-Man liked it.
"But you are different from humans. Will you replace humans in the future?"
The next reporter, however, raised a very sharp question.
Survival of the fittest; this was also why many opponents harbored hostility towards Mutants.
But Warren had anticipated this. He delivered Fang Yuan's script with great emotion.
"We are humans, why would we replace humans?" he retorted.
Without waiting for others to speak, he continued, "Many Mutants' parents and friends are ordinary people. Would they harbor ill intentions towards their own family?"
"Mutants are also ordinary people before their abilities manifest. Everyone could become a Mutant. If your son, daughter, or relative suddenly becomes a Mutant, will you no longer consider them family?"
"We just have superpowers, but we are still human."
Warren's vivid description made many people empathize, completely abandoning their prejudices against Mutants.
Of course, opponents would still oppose, but again, Fang Yuan only needed to win over the potential public who could accept Mutants.
"But we've found that many Mutants are involved in illegal activities," a reporter pressed.
"There are good people and bad people; this is very normal. The only difference is that they happen to have superpowers," Warren replied unhurriedly, getting more and more into his stride.
Fang Yuan relaxed. Warren was steady, and so were the Mutants.
After today's global live broadcast, the idea that Mutants are human would completely become mainstream. No one would be able to treat them like livestock in the open anymore!
He had finally completed a milestone. Next, he could officially establish Vought Corporation in this World.
It really wasn't easy for him; others only needed to recruit people to start a company, but only he, Fang Yuan, not only recruited people but also had to find ways to prove to the outside World that his employees were human.
