Fang Yuan thoughtfully opened the milk for John and handed it to him before sighing.
"I don't want to leave you for so long, but I have no choice."
He shook his head, "This is Vought Corporation's territory; they can restrict my movements at will."
John immediately asked, "What do I need to do so you can always stay with me, Big Brother?"
Fang Yuan deliberately feigned a bitter smile and replied, "I am a Vought Corporation employee. Unless Vought Corporation becomes mine, there's no way to escape their control."
John, holding his milk, immediately said seriously, "Then I'll give Vought Corporation to Big Brother in the future!"
Seeing John's earnest expression, not at all playful, Fang Yuan felt very gratified.
Who said Homelander was difficult to get along with?
Isn't he quite sensible?
He hadn't really done much for Xiao A Zu, but during the two months he had previously spent there, Fang Yuan would always secretly bring Xiao A Zu snacks, talk with him, and show concern for his current situation.
Because his original identity was Dr. Voughtbaum's assistant, it wasn't difficult for him to do these things, and few people would be wary of him.
However, for John, these things that were commonplace for children on the outside were a warmth he had never imagined, instantly filling the void of his missing affection.
Homelander, who was just five years old now, was not like he would be two or three years later. Fang Yuan remembered reading a short story describing Homelander's childhood.
He asked the Nurse caring for him if she could be his mother.
The Nurse said yes.
Then John went over and hugged the Nurse, directly strangling her to death.
At that time, Homelander's mind was already abnormal, but John, who was just beginning to understand things, was still very easy to fool.
Fang Yuan only needed to give him a little care, and John would rush over like seeing light in the darkness.
He was even easier to 'hook' than the 'fish' in his previous life.
"Let's talk about future matters later, but for now, you must remember what I'm telling you, okay?" Fang Yuan said with a smile.
"Mhm." John nodded obediently, then repeated Fang Yuan's instructions, "As long as I cooperate well and get more people to like me, I'll be able to see Big Brother."
"Exactly."
Fang Yuan ruffled his hair, and John leaned in comfortably.
"Only when you gain more people's affection can Vought Corporation see your value, and only then can you leave this experimental Base."
"I was just like you, John, in the past." Fang Yuan's tone was deeply affectionate, truly moving, "I grew up in this experimental Base and never saw the outside World. So I don't want you to be like me in the future; I want you to go out there!"
John's eyes were red. If he were to shoot laser eyes through Fang Yuan's head right now, it might be a masterpiece.
But he didn't. John's tears were about to fall; he completely believed Fang Yuan's nonsense.
"I..." He hugged Fang Yuan tightly, "I want to take you out with me!"
Fang Yuan returned the hug, "I believe you will!"
After they exchanged some heartfelt words, Fang Yuan left John's room. Even with Telepathy, he couldn't control the thoughts of everyone in the entire Base at once, so it wasn't advisable to stay there too long.
Fang Yuan didn't try to use Telepathy to manipulate Xiao A Zu's mind; he had already achieved that with words and actions.
He was mainly afraid that Telepathy would be detected by Vought Corporation, as Vought Corporation had deep research into superpowers.
Moreover, John already trusted him completely, so using Telepathy would be redundant and, if discovered, could even destroy John's trust.
Who knew he would arrive at such a opportune moment?
Although signing up superpowered individuals within the Base was indeed impossible, just encountering a young Homelander was a stroke of luck.
This Base certainly had other superpowered individuals, but Fang Yuan couldn't access them; he was only responsible for matters related to John.
As for John, Fang Yuan had tried before, but the All Heavens Vought Company's panel prompted that targets under 12 years old could not be signed.
Good heavens, this wasn't Vought-like at all.
Being unscrupulous was the proper characteristic of Vought, after all.
However, Fang Yuan used to care about other superpowered individuals, but after using Telepathy to view Dr. Voughtbaum's memories, he lost interest in them.
They were all just a bunch of duds.
Vought Corporation's basic strategy was to gamble by injecting children with compound v, with the resulting abilities being entirely dependent on luck.
Those with decent abilities were naturally taken in by Vought Corporation, but most were very unsatisfactory.
Homelander was Vought Corporation's most important project in the past two decades, which is why he was personally nurtured by the top Dr. Voughtbaum.
But now, it seemed he had done Fang Yuan's bidding.
After emotionally manipulating young John, Fang Yuan placed a sonic marker on Melody. Melody was a full-time employee and could freely enter and exit the Base.
By quitting time, Fang Yuan clearly perceived the sonic marker slowly moving away from him.
His teleportation ability required him to be able to sense the location. When Melody was about to walk a thousand meters away, Fang Yuan directly teleported over.
He hadn't completely left the Base's range yet, but it didn't matter.
Fang Yuan tried a few more times and finally arrived in the city.
It didn't take much time for Fang Yuan to arrive at a magnificent building.
Vought Corporation, Louisiana Branch.
Homelander's research Base wasn't in New York, but Fang Yuan didn't care; he just needed technology that was sixty years ahead.
The X-Men's Vought Corporation also started in media, so it was reasonable and legitimate to seek assistance from The Boys World's Vought Corporation.
After all, Vought Corporation had the World's most advanced media technology, and the branch's security was much weaker than the headquarters'.
Through Telepathy, Fang Yuan quickly caught a Vought Corporation executive who hadn't left yet and briefly controlled him.
Fang Yuan didn't understand technology, so he had this Vought executive, based on his own knowledge, package all of Vought's media-related technologies for him, such as filming techniques, equipment manufacturing technologies, and so on.
Moreover, Fang Yuan needed not only the latest technology but also a detailed list of other industry companies that had developed important technologies from the 1960s to the present two decades in this World, so even that one night wasn't enough to finish it.
Thus, for five consecutive days, Fang Yuan spent his days at the research Base, interacting with John and catching up on sleep.
Ahem, the kind that involved Melody too.
At night, he would run into the city, switching between controlling Vought personnel to find data, making the executives of this Vought branch suspicious and paranoid.
They always remembered sleeping at night but still feeling very tired during the day.
In this way, Fang Yuan finally gathered everything he wanted.
Vought Corporation's technology update data, various film production technologies, and a list of major industry-changing companies worldwide over the past two decades.
Because data storage technology was limited in this era, Fang Yuan couldn't directly take away numerous technical documents.
But by understanding the development process, Fang Yuan could still lead the World in the 1960s.
These would serve as the important cornerstone for the X-Men World's Vought Corporation to become a capitalist hegemon.
