Fang Yuan was very pleased with the harvest Warren brought. He went to the mansion's dining room, found a good bottle of wine, and prepared to celebrate.
White Queen happened to be sitting there, enjoying a small cake.
She was still dressed in a deep V white leather jacket and a short skirt, with white stockings just above her knees, revealing her fair thighs, crossed and propped up.
The hem of her short skirt rose with her sitting posture, and Fang Yuan was only a little bit away from seeing the color.
Her eyes narrowed when she saw Fang Yuan.
"How do I feel like you've become more handsome?" Emma asked, frowning.
Fang Yuan smiled slightly and said, "Perhaps it's because we already understand each other very deeply?"
Emma's face flushed. While she enjoyed playing around, she wasn't good at making suggestive remarks.
She turned her head to the side, avoiding looking at Fang Yuan, that beast.
Just then, Salvador also walked over.
She came to get champagne, but her spot was occupied by Fang Yuan, so Fang Yuan handed it to her casually.
"Thank you."
Salvador blurted it out, then she herself felt a bit inexplicable, so she quickly left.
At this moment, Emma was stunned. Her small mouth was slightly open, and the fork in her hand dropped. Beneath her mature exterior, her whole demeanor became somewhat adorable.
"She just... said thank you?"
Emma turned her head and stared at Fang Yuan, asking in disbelief.
Everyone knew about Salvador's hostility towards Fang Yuan. Forget about saying thank you, she wouldn't even greet Fang Yuan when she saw him.
Fang Yuan, on the other hand, was very happy, because he hadn't used Warren's character template just now, but the [Low-Level Affinity Aura] was still effective. He saw that aura rewards could be used simultaneously with other rewards.
"Is it possible that my charm has increased again?" Fang Yuan teased.
White Queen nodded unconsciously.
So Fang Yuan leaned into Emma's ear: "Then do you want to experience my charm?"
Emma softly chided, "It's daytime right now."
"It doesn't matter," Fang Yuan said indifferently, pulling White Queen to her feet. "We can have Red Devil send us to the other hemisphere."
Emma just lowered her head and didn't argue further.
She was also tempted.

New York, Xavier's Mansion.
Since the CIA Base was destroyed, Charles brought the X-Squad home, because the place here was large enough and very suitable for a Mutant training ground.
"Alex, remember, concentrate!" Charles shouted at Impact in the underground air-raid shelter.
He and Hank stood on either side of a dummy, about 30 centimeters apart.
An X-mark was taped onto the dummy.
"Alex, hit the X," Charles said, standing firm. "Please try not to hit me."
Impact was very surprised: "Are you serious?"
Alex remembered the last time they tested their abilities here, he almost tore down this air-raid shelter.
"That's right," Charles said calmly. "I have absolute faith in you!"
Then he and Hank moved to a position about one and a half meters away.
Alex nodded, recalling Charles's teachings, calming his mind. Energy immediately surged out, passed through the chest-mounted restraint device, and became a laser beam that shot straight at the dummy.
"Good job, Alex!" Charles gave a thumbs up.
Hank also clapped vigorously: "I knew you could do it!"
As they spoke, the two of them walked out from the corners of the walls, and Alex didn't even notice when they had hidden.
Ignoring these minor details, it can also be seen from this that Charles's training of the X-Squad over the past month has been very effective.
As expected of someone who would become a principal in the future.
"Charles!"
"Charles!"
As soon as they walked out of the air-raid shelter's door, Eric's shouts came, and he was holding a newspaper, quickly running to Professor X's side.
"Look!" He handed the newspaper to Charles, pointing at the headline and saying, "Read it out!"
Charles did as he was told: "Mutant Shaw massacres CIA Base... What?"
He wasn't surprised by the event itself, but by the fact that this intelligence could be reported. Charles carefully read the full report and found that the details of Shaw's attack on the CIA were written very thoroughly.
The news didn't say who leaked the information, but the name of the newspaper was very familiar - "The Neutralist Daily"!
"Oliver said he's investigating who leaked the information, but I think we all know who did it," Eric said with a serious expression.
"Fang!" Charles also understood.
They both knew that "The Neutralist Daily" was Fang Yuan's property.
Of course, besides Shaw, White Queen, and Red Devil, no one knew that The Collector Daily also belonged to Fang Yuan.
After all, The Collector's main business was insulting people, so Fang Yuan certainly wouldn't go around saying it was his, lest he get assassinated offline.
Charles might know, after all, he also had Telepathy, but Eric was completely unaware.
"Fang?"
Hank and Alex, however, didn't know as much, and also gathered around.
"The news mentioned us too?"
Hank, standing in front, suddenly widened his eyes.
"What did it say?" Alex asked eagerly, unable to see clearly from behind.
So Hank briefly summarized it for him: "It says there's a group of peace-loving Mutants who formed the X-Squad and were receiving training at this CIA Base."
"Shaw is a Terrorist. Feeling threatened by the X-Squad, he attacked the CIA Base when key members of the X-Squad were absent, causing many Agent casualties, and the X-Squad also lost a member."
Alex's expression suddenly became a bit strange: "Lost... a... member?"
"Is the news talking about Salvador Angel? She clearly defected to Shaw."
Hank replied, "For us, that's also a loss."
Charles and Eric exchanged glances, both amused.
"It's Fang's style," Charles sighed.
Meaning, to tell blatant lies.
"Although this news was written by the unbiased 'The Neutralist Daily,' it actually benefits us more!" Charles then said.
"It exposes Shaw, the Mutant Terrorist, and also reports on us, the peace-loving Mutants of the X-Squad, especially since we also..." At this point, Charles naturally couldn't help but laugh, "...lost a team member."
"This way, people will know that Mutants also have factions and won't blame the entire Mutant community because of Shaw."
Eric nodded, he also thought so.
Although his ideology was more radical, at least at this stage, Magneto still hoped to coexist peacefully with humans.
Mainly because Professor X's charm over him was too strong, and this time, Fang Yuan also had to be added to the mix.
Hearing this, Hank and Alex were utterly impressed by Fang Yuan, whom they had only met once.
Previously, Fang Yuan had already earned a lot of goodwill by saving them at the CIA, and then after they met Angel at Xavier's Mansion, they also learned about Fang Yuan's contributions to the Mutant community.
Now, even though Fang Yuan was captured by Sebastian Shaw, he could still find ways to consider the Mutant community.
"He's truly great!" Hank couldn't help but say.
