"All Heavens Vought Company, return to the X-Men World!"
In a hidden corner far from the chaotic experiment Base, Fang Yuan proudly declared to the panel.
Although he seemed to have been driven out this time, Fang Yuan took it in stride.
Vought Corporation?
It was just a tool to cultivate his rewards.
He controlled the All Heavens Vought Company; though it only added the words 'All Heavens', it actually added infinite possibilities.
And while Fang Yuan left without a care, his impact on The Boys World was far from over.
The incident at the experiment Base only caused a small ripple.
After all, so many people had died, and Vought Corporation needed to provide an explanation; completely suppressing it was unrealistic.
They claimed that an explosion occurred in one of their laboratories due to improper operation by staff, and Vought would actively take responsibility for compensation.
Then, after Vought had its media heavily praise Vought Corporation for its responsibility, the matter was considered closed.
As for the true information about the experiment Base, it was completely sealed off.
However, within Vought, the impact of this incident was not small.
"Barbara, you're still alive? What's the situation at the site?"
Stan was slightly surprised when he saw the Base Director, then waved his hand dismissively, not even bothering with superficial pleasantries, and asked about what he cared about.
Barbara dared not show the slightest displeasure; she knew what kind of man-eating monster Vought Corporation was behind the scenes.
She quickly reported: "The on-site investigation results are out. Subject 071 is confirmed to be Death, with no possibility of survival."
"No body?" Stan frowned slightly.
"The explosion at the site was too powerful and mixed with many chemical reagents, making it impossible to identify a body," Barbara immediately responded, bending at the waist. "But Subject 071 underwent weekly physical examinations, and there was no physical enhancement."
"Alright."
Stan still felt a bit of pity. If a psychic ability user could be used by him, why would he ever worry about anyone opposing him?
"How's John?" Stan asked again.
"John is quite agitated, and his attitude towards the Base staff is very poor, already causing one person to be disabled," Barbara replied.
"But overall, John's rebellious emotions are slowly dissipating."
"That's good." Stan was relatively satisfied.
John was a powerful ability user they had painstakingly cultivated, and Stan still didn't want to give him up easily.
So he found Dr. Voughtbaum and asked directly: "Can we make the Subject… John forget Subject 071?"
After all, he was the future star of the company in his mind, so Stan still used his name.
Dr. Voughtbaum thought for a moment: "Yes, but I don't recommend it. John is still too young, and brainwashing might affect the growth of his abilities."
"Moreover, when he gets older, even if he forgets Fang Yuan, once he wants to see the outside World, it won't be difficult for him to break through the Base's defenses."
"So I have an idea."
Dr. Voughtbaum took out a document and handed it to Stan.
"I propose that we preserve John's memories of Fang Yuan. Not only should we not let him forget, but we should also deepen Fang Yuan's impression on him."
"We should find top psychological experts to implant in John the illusion of lacking love after Fang Yuan's departure, making this idea deeply ingrained in his mind."
"This way, we can use John's need for love to control him. No matter how much his superpower develops in the future, he will never want to leave the Base, and will always be tied to Vought Corporation!"
Stan picked up the document on the table and read it carefully, finding the plan surprisingly good.
"Are there any drawbacks to doing this?" Stan asked; he wanted to thoroughly assess the risks.
"Currently, it's a critical period for John's personality development. Even if he discovers the psychological suggestion later, it won't matter, because John cannot overturn himself."
Dr. Voughtbaum frowned slightly: "The only drawback is that Fang Yuan will be much more important in John's heart than Vought Corporation. If Fang Yuan reappears, it will be very troublesome."
Stan relaxed.
Fang Yuan?
He was already dead, nothing but dust.
He still trusted Dr. Voughtbaum very much, but he still gave him a warning.
"Voughtbaum, I knew your abilities were perfectly fine."
"But Subjects are just Subjects, and in the future, they will only be company products. Don't invest too much emotion in products."
Dr. Voughtbaum's heart tightened, and he quickly nodded in agreement.
Stan Edgar's vision was still very sharp; he immediately saw through his potential intentions.
Although Dr. Voughtbaum was a senior research expert at Vought Corporation and handled many experiment projects, people are not made of stone, and Dr. Voughtbaum still retained a bit of conscience.
This also drove him to stand up as a witness against Vought Corporation in "The Boys Season 3."
And then got his head blown off.
Ahem…
The Boys World doesn't need justice.
The choice to preserve John's memories of Fang Yuan was Dr. Voughtbaum's attempt to preserve a beautiful memory for John's tragic childhood.
Stan saw Dr. Voughtbaum's thoughts but didn't stop him. On one hand, this approach was indeed very good, and on the other hand—since Fang Yuan was already dead, he wasn't afraid of any future troubles popping up.
"Good, do as you say!" Stan agreed.
Fang Yuan, who had already returned to the X-Men World, naturally didn't know about these things, but he always had a vague feeling that something good was happening.
"Oh, by the way, I'll send someone back with you to clear all data related to Subject 071, especially photos and videos."
However, Stan always did things meticulously, so he continued to give orders.
"I don't want to see anyone impersonating Subject 071 to cause trouble in the future!"
Vought Corporation focused on researching superpowers, so it naturally took precautions against shapeshifting abilities.
"Also, John's original plan is canceled. His current condition is no longer suitable for entering Godolkin University," Stan added.
Dr. Voughtbaum's heart sank; Stan's words meant John would have to stay in the laboratory for several more years.
Stan continued to order: "Add courses for adapting to external life in the laboratory for him. When he reaches an appropriate age and is evaluated as problem-free, he will directly join the team."
Dr. Voughtbaum quickly agreed; Stan was the powerful leader of Vought Corporation, and once he made a decision, others had no choice but to obey.
After Dr. Voughtbaum left, Stan was inspired and issued a new directive within Vought Corporation.
For all children with potential superpowers identified by the company, Vought Corporation offered free in-home psychological counseling services. The official line was to ensure the children's safe growth, but the real purpose was to instill psychological suggestions in those children.
To be close to Vought Corporation, and not to oppose Vought Corporation.
It could only be said that Vought truly lived up to its reputation as the industry benchmark Fang Yuan referenced; everything it did was exactly like Fang Yuan.
