Charles Xavier's reputation has increased, currently at 90.
Erik Lehnsherr's reputation has increased, currently at 67.
As expected, after Charles and Erik's actions of denouncing criminals in front of the media and standing with the victims were broadcast by "The Neutralist Daily", The Observer Daily, and various TV stations, both of their reputations saw significant growth.
"To gain reputation, you have to latch onto hot topics," Fang Yuan nodded with satisfaction.
Of course, he also had another newspaper at hand.
As the benchmark for contrarians established by Fang Yuan, The Collector Daily criticized Charles and Erik as merely putting on a show, acting like hypocritical politicians.
In any case, Fang Yuan was saying both positive and negative things, as long as the public paid attention.
A little bit of Vought's essence.
Ah no, Vought Corporation in The Boys World wouldn't play like this; as a listed company, critical voices would affect its stock price.
But Vought Corporation is for money, while Fang Yuan's All Heavens Vought Company is only for reputation and doesn't care about money at all, so Fang Yuan can use such tactics.
"Indeed, my integrity is still much better than those people at Vought," Fang Yuan praised himself.
Over the next half-month, the media continued to hype up X-Squad and Sebastian Shaw's affairs, but because Shaw made no moves, X-Squad's reputation gradually grew, subtly surpassing Shaw, the number one Mutant villain.
However, in reality, Shaw's impact on the World far exceeded that of X-Squad.
Because under his guidance, the Soviet Union had successfully established Missile Bases in Cuba and continued to transport Missiles.
It wasn't until October that Fang Yuan, having just gotten out of Mystique's bed that morning, went to the restaurant for some food, only to find a tall, red-skinned man suddenly standing beside him.
(. _ .)
"..."
"You're just tall!"
Fang Yuan picked up a piece of buttered bread and threw it at Red Devil, who quickly caught it.
"Shaw sent you?"
Red Devil nodded.
"Shaw knows about this place?" Fang Yuan asked, narrowing his eyes.
Red Devil shook his head.
"Azazel, you always have to leave yourself a way out," Fang Yuan patted Red Devil's shoulder, "If Shaw asks, think about what to say that would be best for you."
Red Devil looked thoughtful.
Fang Yuan finished the bread in a few bites, then placed his hand on Red Devil's shoulder.
"Poof!"
A moment later, Fang Yuan arrived in the Soviet Union.
It was still the same Villa, with Sebastian Shaw, Salvador, White Queen, and Riptide present.
Fang Yuan spread his hands, greeting them warmly.
"It looks like your progress is good, Shaw."
After more than a month apart, he still felt completely at ease on Shaw's territory.
Shaw smiled slightly: "You seem to be doing well too. I heard you've slept with all the women at the newspaper?"
Fang Yuan glanced at White Queen, saw her standing with her hands on her hips looking at him, and immediately knew where Shaw had heard it from.
"Nonsense!"
Fang Yuan's eyes widened, and he immediately defended himself: "I clearly only slept with the pretty ones."
"Pfft!"
Emma was amused, Fang Yuan was still so shameless.
And Salvador silently gave Fang Yuan a look of disdain; in her eyes, Fang Yuan was weak yet played around a lot.
However, having been rebuffed by Fang Yuan before, she didn't say anything.
Shaw's plan was nearing its end, and she was about to rule the World as Queen by Shaw's side, so there was no need to bother with Fang Yuan.
At this point, Shaw returned to the main topic: "I've seen your results. Now I am the most famous Mutant in the World, very good."
Sebastian Shaw was very satisfied, but Fang Yuan felt a little uneasy.
After all, the reason Shaw's fame was so great was entirely because he was to be X-Squad's opponent; X-Squad was his main target to promote.
But Shaw didn't care at all, as long as his fame was greater than Angel's.
In terms of fame, Shaw's biggest concern was actually Angel Warren, because Warren's existence demonstrated to the World that Mutants and humans could coexist harmoniously.
For Shaw, who was determined to destroy humanity and rule the World, this was a very dangerous idea.
Fortunately, he was currently in the lead.
Shaw, to Fang Yuan's surprise, said, "I'm going to instigate a nuclear war between the Soviet Union and the United States in Cuba."
Fang Yuan's eyes instantly widened. He truly couldn't believe that Shaw would tell him his ultimate plan.
Everyone knew he leaned towards Charles.
He noticed the reactions of White Queen, Salvador, and others, and found that they were also full of shock, indicating that Shaw had not told them he would reveal this news to him before.
"Once the event breaks out, everyone will know I'm behind it, isn't that what you said?"
Shaw enjoyed Fang Yuan's stunned expression, took a sip from his wine glass, and smiled.
Fang Yuan quickly reacted.
"Ah... yes, that's right."
He immediately understood Shaw's intention: "You want me to release this news?"
Sebastian Shaw nodded.
"I want the whole World to pay attention to me, to let everyone know the ambition of Black King!" He clenched his hand into a fist, as if grasping the entire World.
"But..." Fang Yuan hesitated for a moment but still asked, "This will bring many variables and obstacles to your plan. Are you sure you want to expose it?"
Fang Yuan felt that if it were him, he definitely wouldn't make such a choice.
But Shaw said confidently, "Let them come. If I can't handle even this, how can I become the King of Mutants?"
He exuded a kingly aura; at this moment, Magneto was like a younger brother compared to him.
Fang Yuan left after a while. Although Shaw didn't tell him many inside details, he gave him great authority, allowing him to decide how to detonate this news.
However, after being sent back to New York by Red Devil, Fang Yuan fell into deep thought in Vought Tower.
Was Shaw... a little too rash?
Their stake was ruling the World, and Shaw would actually voluntarily expose the plan. Even if it was to gain fame, wouldn't it be enough to wait until the matter was detected by the outside World and the Missile Crisis had fermented?
And did Shaw really just ignore X-Squad?
In the original plot, Shaw still wanted to deal with Charles and them before making his move...
Wait!
A flash of lightning seemed to strike Fang Yuan's mind, and he immediately thought of a very dangerous possibility!
"Fortunately..."
At the same time, in the Soviet Union.
Red Devil had just returned to the Villa when Shaw called out to him.
"Azazel, when you were moving around with Fang, did you notice the Telepathy's location?"
White Queen Emma watched Red Devil impassively, but her fingers unconsciously tightened.
Xavier's Mansion was something she had told Red Devil about, but White Queen hadn't revealed it to Shaw.
Having spent a long time with Fang Yuan, Emma felt increasingly influenced by him.
She thought a sentence Fang Yuan said made a lot of sense.
Help whoever wins, and right now... Shaw hasn't won yet.
Ruling the World sounded good, but the risk of failure was also great, and Emma had to leave herself a way out.
She just didn't know how Red Devil would answer.
