If it were anyone else captured by Sebastian Shaw, they would probably be thinking about how to contact Charles to take down Shaw, the big villain.
But to Fang Yuan, how could Shaw be a big villain?
He gave him money, beautiful women, and even gave him subordinates.
He was clearly a great benefactor!
He was a true Good Brother!
Although Shaw wanted to use Fang Yuan, for Shaw, the reason he was so generous was that he had almost given nothing.
Money?
He was going to destroy the World; even more money would become waste paper.
But Fang Yuan was leveraging this mindset to secure benefits for himself.
Vought Corporation was one such instance, and seizing the opportunity to sign the White Queen and Red Devil was another.
After finding an excuse to go to the garden and bask in the Sun, Fang Yuan checked the character cards of the two.
[Name: Emma Frost]
[Level: A]
[Fame: 37 (Slightly Famous)]
[Unlock Rewards: Initial (Claimable), First Tier Reward (Claimable)]
[Initial Reward: Obtain Superpower - Psychic Defense (D-rank).]
[First Tier Reward: Psychic Defense upgrades to C-rank.]
To Fang Yuan's surprise, the White Queen's fame was very low, only reaching the level for the first-tier reward.
It seemed that because her identity was not widely known to the public, even though many organizations had intelligence on the White Queen, her fame was still greatly limited.
The reward the White Queen unlocked for Fang Yuan was a new superpower, [Psychic Defense (C-rank)].
As the name suggested, it allowed Fang Yuan to defend against others' psychic intrusions.
Although it still couldn't completely defend against Telepathy of Charles's level, at least he wasn't defenseless anymore.
Moreover, ever since unlocking the mission template on Warren, Fang Yuan's primary goal had become unlocking templates of various powerful characters and accumulating multiple abilities.
He didn't have high demands for the first or second-tier rewards.
He then looked at the Red Devil's.
[Name: Azazel]
[Level: A-]
[Fame: 53 (Well-known)]
[Unlock Rewards: Initial (Claimable), First Tier Reward (Claimable), Second Tier Reward (Claimable)]
The Red Devil's fame was surprisingly much higher than Emma's, which was a pleasant surprise for Fang Yuan.
Thinking about it carefully, Fang Yuan knew why.
It wasn't that demons were more attractive than beautiful women.
It was because of that CIA incident.
The Red Devil's striking, demon-like appearance made him very memorable, and that night he displayed his abilities, killing many Agents. He must have already received various wanted treatments in the United States, so higher fame was reasonable.
For Fang Yuan, this unexpected bonus brought him three rewards, and he couldn't help but feel delighted.
Thanks to the Agents' generosity.
[Initial Reward: Obtain Superpower - Demon Form (D-rank).]
[First Tier Reward: Obtain Superpower - Teleportation (D-rank).]
[Second Tier Reward: Superpower Demon Form upgrades to C-rank, Teleportation upgrades to C-rank.]
The rewards unlocked by the Red Devil directly gave Fang Yuan his two iconic abilities.
Demon Form allowed Fang Yuan to transform into a red demon with an appearance similar to Azazel.
Fang Yuan went to a corner to try it out; although he also grew a tail with an arrowhead, his strength also increased.
After the level upgraded to [Demon Form (C-rank)], Fang Yuan's physical attributes when transforming into a demon further improved, and his tail also became very flexible.
And what Fang Yuan was most looking forward to was [Teleportation (C-rank)]!
Instantaneous movement! How many boys, when they were young, hadn't imitated Kakarot, holding two fingers to their forehead, imagining themselves arriving at their destination with a slight dip of the head?
Fang Yuan, even as an adult, still wished he could teleport so he could feed the fish faster.
Cough cough...
He had tried his Teleportation ability; its use was similar to the Red Devil's, making 'bang bang' sounds, but Fang Yuan's Teleportation ability was naturally not as good as the Red Devil's.
After Fang Yuan experimented, he found that he could teleport a maximum distance of over nine hundred meters, and it needed to be a place he could see or had been to.
It wasn't very convenient for traveling, but it was very useful in combat.
Suitable for escaping.
Fang Yuan had no intention of actively looking for fights; his subordinates could handle it.
However, Fang Yuan also discovered that [Demon Form] and Angel's wings could not be used simultaneously, nor could the wings be used during Teleportation.
Of course, forcing their use was possible, but then he would feel his body being torn apart. It seemed that currently, he could only use one Mutant's ability at a time.
This was a minor limitation, but it was due to Fang Yuan's physical condition. It would surely improve once his attributes increased in the future.
In the evening, Shaw and the others returned to the castle. Fang Yuan once again took out three invitation letters and placed them in front of Shaw, Riptide, and Salvador Angel.
Actually, Fang Yuan didn't think much of Salvador, but to put on a complete show, he couldn't treat them differently.
"Vought Corporation?"
But Salvador looked at the invitation with a hint of disdain on her face.
"Child's play!"
She threw the invitation aside.
Riptide, on the other hand, turned to look at Shaw, who chuckled, "It's just for fun. Go if you want to."
But Shaw himself had no intention of signing the invitation.
Seeing this, Riptide also didn't sign.
Fang Yuan's plan immediately fell through. He had originally thought he could take advantage of the chaos and trick Sebastian Shaw into signing the invitation.
"By the way, what exactly is your Mutant ability?" Salvador asked Fang Yuan in the manner of a hostess.
Fang Yuan knew that Shaw also wanted to know this question, so he gave the explanation he had prepared long ago.
"Ability?" He smiled apologetically, "Not every Mutant has very strong superpowers."
"My only ability is that I can vaguely perceive others' emotions towards me. Other than that, there's nothing else."
"Perceive emotions?" Shaw's interest was indeed piqued, and his smile widened.
Emotion Perception was good; although it was also a psychic ability that Shaw was wary of, Shaw already had Emma, a super Telepath, by his side. Fang Yuan's ability was indeed just a small trick.
Moreover, Shaw had now obtained a treasure from the Mao Xiong, built for him by the Mao Xiong people.
A helmet that could completely block psychic energy.
It was the one Magneto would wear on his head in the future.
So Shaw was very satisfied now. Fang Yuan was intelligent, and his Mutant ability posed no threat to him. He was perfectly suited to be his subordinate.
But at this moment, Salvador fed Shaw a piece of fruit and suddenly spoke to Fang Yuan, "Didn't you say you were going to make a name for Black King? Why has there been no movement for a month?"
Her tone was very condescending, as if Fang Yuan, now following Shaw, had also become her subordinate.
Emma and the Red Devil both frowned but said nothing.
Fang Yuan, however, grinned, plopped down on the sofa, and popped a few fruits into his own mouth.
"No need to worry, professionals do professional things," Fang Yuan said casually. "When Angel was with me, she just had to be obedient."
Salvador's face instantly darkened, while the White Queen and the Red Devil chuckled.
The codename Salvador chose for herself was Angel.
But before she officially debuted, there was already another Angel in the World who had achieved such high renown, which had always bothered Salvador.
