What are you doing here? Charles and the others aren't around.
Fang Yuan remembered that in the movie's plot, Sebastian Shaw came here to deal with Professor X, but this time he was clearly too early. Professor X and the other were still recruiting members.
Charles and Eric had informed Fang Yuan that they were going to South Vietnam for a few days, where there was said to be an unkillable Mutant.
"Many Mutant companions are gathered here, so I'm here to invite them to join my team," Shaw said with a smile. "Perhaps some of them will know their place, just like you."
"What if they refuse?" Fang Yuan's heart tightened slightly.
He remembered Raven saying there was a party today.
"Don't worry, I generally don't kill my own kind," Shaw said with a shrug.
Receiving Shaw's personal promise, Fang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief for Mystique. Then his thoughts wandered: "So, if I also refuse..."
"No," Shaw interrupted directly, "You're different."
Shaw explained, "You can make Angel a Superhero, which means you can make me the King of Mutants and remove many obstacles for me."
The Black King smiled and concluded, "So, whether you agree or not, I will take you with me."
Alright, Fang Yuan resigned himself to his fate.
A villain who understood the importance of public opinion certainly wouldn't let him go.
Fortunately, under Shaw, Fang Yuan didn't have to worry about his life being in danger.
However, the Agents in the CIA Base were indeed in mortal danger.
Although there were many Agents here, they couldn't withstand the Mutants' overpowered abilities.
Riptide conjured a hurricane, sweeping away a large area with a single pass.
Red Devil, who had been greatly frustrated by Fang Yuan, also vented his anger on these ordinary people. He teleported around, using both his hands and tail, making him almost unstoppable in close combat.
The staff hiding in the rooms were also found by him, taken into the sky one by one, and subjected to freefall.
The most shocking was still Sebastian Shaw. He walked directly into the most heavily guarded building alone, and thoughtfully waited for the Agents' encirclement to form.
The Agents were confused but wouldn't miss such a good opportunity, so they all poured bullets at Shaw. Some even pulled out RPGs and fired at Shaw downstairs.
However, when the smoke from the explosion cleared, all the Agents stopped firing in surprise.
Because Shaw stood there unharmed, surrounded by scattered bullet casings.
"Heh," Shaw chuckled, "My turn."
He stomped his foot on the ground, and the accumulated energy was instantly released, sweeping through the entire building in a flash. Flames engulfed all the Agents, and the building collapsed with a roar.
And Shaw walked out of the Fire, spotless.
Elegant, too elegant.
"I want it!"
This was the first thought that popped into Fang Yuan's mind.
At this point, less than five minutes had passed since Shaw and his group entered the CIA, and nearly half of the Agents on site were dead.
Raven and a group of young Mutants—Impact, Beast, Banshee, and Salvador Angel—were all terrified and at a loss.
Mystique finally saw Fang Yuan next to Shaw and was instantly very shocked.
Fang Yuan gave her a helpless smile, and Raven immediately understood that Fang Yuan had been captured. She instantly wanted to rush over to rescue him, which scared Fang Yuan into quickly shaking his head at her and stopping her with his eyes.
This foolish woman, the X-Men combined couldn't even beat Shaw alone in a direct fight.
Only Professor X's mind control could pose a threat to Shaw, which is why Shaw wanted to eliminate Charles first.
But whenever he thought of this, Fang Yuan would put a question mark on Shaw's ability. It was said to absorb all energy, but mental energy didn't count?
That's unscientific.
Oh, Mutants are inherently unscientific.
Fang Yuan saw Red Devil once again grabbing a plump man. That was the Director of this Base, and also Charles's biggest supporter in the government.
The movie didn't reveal his name, but Fang Yuan knew from Charles that he was Oliver Platt.
Charles's first-generation Cerebro and the prototype of the X-Jet were all provided to the X-Men by Oliver.
His survival would be of great benefit to Mutants.
"Stop!" Fang Yuan shouted quickly.
Red Devil froze for a moment, then Fang Yuan loudly said to Sebastian Shaw, "You let them go!"
His voice was loud enough for Oliver, Mystique, and the other Mutants to hear.
Shaw raised his hand, signaling Red Devil to wait, then asked Fang Yuan with interest, "I'm curious, what reason can you give to convince me?"
Fang Yuan took a deep breath, his mind racing as he said, "I can make you the true Black King, and let all Mutants know of your achievements!"
Shaw pondered for a moment, then responded with a smile, "You've convinced me."
From Shaw's perspective, with the impending nuclear war he was instigating between the United States and the Soviet Union, it was indeed time to let other Mutants know who was contributing to their cause.
He wanted to be the King of Mutants, so he naturally had to make a name for himself.
Lest after he eliminated humanity, other Mutants would come and take the credit.
Fang Yuan shook his head at Oliver, signaling him not to resist. Although Oliver didn't know Fang Yuan, he knew that Fang Yuan had just saved him and had no ill intentions, so he also ordered the remaining Agents to temporarily cease fire.
Then Oliver gave Fang Yuan a grateful look. Red Devil had already taken him into the sky, so he had truly experienced a brush with death.
Fang Yuan accepted it calmly. He had sold himself to save Oliver's life, so he certainly deserved it.
Moreover, his reason for saving Oliver was also to pave his own way.
Today, Fang Yuan's plan was disrupted, and he was exposed to the government's attention prematurely, and with Sebastian Shaw, a Terrorist at that.
He didn't want to be classified as a villainous Mutant by the government, which is why he proactively saved Oliver.
This way, in the eyes of the government, he was a hostage captured by Shaw, forced to be with Shaw to save others.
The Director of the CIA would even have to bow to him.
Then Shaw said to Raven and the other Mutants, "The revolution is about to begin. When humans discover our abilities, we will all face a choice: to be enslaved, or to turn around and save the World."
But as Shaw spoke, he felt something was off.
Because of Fang Yuan, Mutants were already exposed to human eyes, and the Impact wasn't entirely negative. While many people rejected Mutants, there were also many supporters of Mutants.
He needed to change his rhetoric.
"Perhaps some of you want to fight for those who hate and fear you, like Angel, but if you join me, you can live like kings..." Shaw enticed these young Mutants.
At this point, he keenly noticed Salvador's eyes wavering, so he added, "Or like a Queen."
After speaking, he extended his hand to Salvador, who immediately took it.
"Angel? Why?" Raven asked in shock. She couldn't believe a companion would choose the enemy's side.
"We don't belong here," Salvador replied.
She made no secret of her desire to be superior to others.
Fang Yuan even stood a bit further away from her, but he was secretly pleased.
The contrast was clear, wasn't it? He was forced into this situation to save people, while Salvador willingly sided with the enemy out of ambition.
Who was the good person was obvious at a glance!
