"Are you sure you're not coming with me tonight? I wanted to introduce you to Alex and Hank too."
Mystique Raven asked, nestled in Fang Yuan's arms.
"If it wasn't at the CIA, I'd actually like to go," Fang Yuan shook his head. "But going to the CIA, I can't expose my identity so early."
Silence makes money, and Fang Yuan didn't want to be targeted by the authorities so quickly.
"Alright."
Raven sighed. She knew that what Fang Yuan was doing now was very important, concerning the entire Mutant race, so she didn't insist.
She got up and put on her clothes. Being too close to Fang Yuan had this side effect on women; their clothes always seemed to disappear without them realizing it.
"How is the Mutant team doing at the CIA?" Fang Yuan asked.
"Not bad."
Raven's mood visibly improved when she mentioned this.
"At first, some people at the CIA would openly mock us, but after Angel became famous, they gradually toned it down. After Warren publicly revealed his identity and President Kennedy personally praised us, some people even came over to apologize to us!"
"This is all your doing." In Raven's eyes, as she looked at Fang Yuan, a torch seemed to glow.
She didn't worship Angel like others, because Raven knew who had made the greatest contribution behind the scenes.
Noticing the strong affection coming from Raven, Fang Yuan knew that Mystique had been locked in by him.
He chuckled, not feeling surprised at all.
"Let's go, time to head out."
After Raven was dressed, Fang Yuan and she left the Mansion one after another.
Today, the two twin female reporters from The Observer Daily invited him to dinner, and for some dessert afterwards.
He wouldn't be like Mystique. Fang Yuan decided to share himself; he had to let other little fish have a taste too.
But as Fang Yuan walked to a garden outside the newspaper office, he suddenly felt something, and then, turning his head, he saw a beautiful woman in a white leather suit smiling at him.
The beautiful woman's skin was very fair, especially her low V-neckline, which made people want to explore further.
But Fang Yuan had no mind to appreciate it. Instead, he felt a sudden jolt in his heart and quickly changed direction.
"White Queen? Why is she here?"
Alarm bells rang in Fang Yuan's mind.
According to the plot timeline, White Queen should be in the Soviet Union at this time.
And he quickly remembered that in the plot, Sebastian Shaw had indeed come to New York, killed everyone at the CIA Base, and taken away a female Mutant.
So... Shaw is here too!
Thinking this, Fang Yuan walked faster. He only prayed now that Shaw's target wasn't him.
But what he thought of, came to pass.
In Fang Yuan's direction, he saw another tall, strong man.
Red Devil.
He quietly changed his position again, only to hear a "poof" sound. Red Devil teleported and blocked his path, and this time, he brought another man.
Sebastian Shaw!
Fang Yuan looked back, and White Queen was also walking towards them. In another direction, there was Riptide, a male member of the Hellfire Club, whose ability was to rapidly spin and create hurricanes.
And Shaw was looking at him with a half-smile.
"Gulp."
Fang Yuan began to consider the success rate of flying away and escaping.
Now, his Warren template development was already 51%. He assumed this was because his level was only C, so the improvement speed was very fast. Now, his flying speed and wing strength even surpassed Warren himself.
But then he realized that although this White Queen was not as powerful as in the comic version, she could still implant illusions in him, and Red Devil could teleport. Even if he flapped his wings until they sparked, he couldn't escape.
"Fang Yuan?"
Sebastian Shaw spoke first.
He really came for him?
Fang Yuan immediately thought of the reason.
Angel was now famous. Shaw likely investigated him while looking for Angel in New York.
After all, White Queen could also read other people's memories.
Fang Yuan knew about the butterfly effect, but he didn't expect it to attract Shaw!
Since he was here, he might as well make the best of it. It didn't seem like they were here to kill him.
Because neither Emotion Perception nor Mind Reading detected any killing intent from Shaw and Red Devil.
After thinking this, Fang Yuan calmed down a bit, then he grinned: "That's right."
Greeting someone with a smile for the first time always lowers their guard.
"I don't think I need to introduce myself, do I?" Shaw asked with a confident tone.
"Of course not, Mr. Black King." Fang Yuan's smile didn't fade.
Since they could find him, they must have also discovered that he lived in Xavier's Mansion, naturally understanding his close relationship with Charles.
"You're not as repulsed by me as that Telepathy user," Shaw keenly observed this situation.
Fang Yuan waved his hand: "We're all doing it for Mutants, so what's there to be repulsed about?"
The reason he could face the big BOSS so calmly was also because Shaw generally didn't kill fellow Mutants.
Sebastian Shaw also smiled.
"In that case, come and join the Hellfire Club," Shaw said with a smile.
Fang Yuan's smile froze.
He was just saying something nice, why did Shaw take it seriously?
To be honest, if Shaw's Hellfire Club was like a Gang, Fang Yuan would have joined.
After all, he didn't have much integrity.
But Shaw's goal was to destroy the World and establish a Mutant civilization.
This was completely contrary to what Fang Yuan sought.
If everyone was gone, where would he go to gain fame?
However, looking at Shaw, Red Devil, and White Queen surrounding him, Fang Yuan found it hard to utter a refusal.
Now, his strength was fine against ordinary people, but too weak against the Black King.
He couldn't win, he couldn't escape, what else could he do?
It seemed that tonight, he wouldn't be able to convey the spirit of leadership to those two female reporters.
"Okay," Fang Yuan readily agreed.
Anyway, in the original plot, after Shaw's death, White Queen and Red Devil both followed Magneto. At most, he would go undercover for a while.
It was already July 25th, and the Cuban Missile Crisis was in October, which was less than three months away.
Perhaps then, he could even abduct two powerful Mutants to bring back.
The first minute he joined the Hellfire Club, Fang Yuan set his sights on the organization leader's inheritance.
Shaw smiled contentedly. He had thought it would take some effort, but he didn't expect Fang Yuan to be so sensible.
"But I have one condition!" Fang Yuan suddenly said.
Shaw raised his hand, signaling: "Tell me."
"I must be able to continue managing my company!"
The three major newspaper offices were getting on track, and Vought Corporation had just been established. Fang Yuan didn't want all his efforts to go to waste.
Sebastian Shaw thought for a moment, then nodded: "Alright."
Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. It would have been difficult if Shaw hadn't agreed.
"I'll go explain my work first." He pointed at Red Devil, "Is it okay for him to give me a ride?"
He voluntarily asked for an informant to follow, and Shaw, of course, wouldn't refuse. With a wave of his hand, Red Devil took Fang Yuan to the company.
Shaw wasn't worried about Fang Yuan leaking information; he never intended to hide his whereabouts.
Moreover, Professor X and Magneto were not in New York. Of course, if they were, Shaw would certainly make a move against them.
Actually, even if Charles and the others were there, Fang Yuan wouldn't leak it.
Shaw's exit had to be sensational; otherwise, how could he gain fame for Professor X?
White Queen, however, was very surprised. She asked in confusion: "He agreed so easily, and he's very close to the Telepathy user. It's hard to say if he'll be loyal."
"Of course he won't be loyal," Shaw replied with a smile, as if it were obvious.
"But I don't need him to be loyal now." Shaw displayed the demeanor of the Black King. "As long as I successfully destroy the Human World, Fang Yuan will only be able to be loyal to me."
