"The key to winning a war often lies outside the battlefield," Shaw confidently told Salvador and the others.
Since he dared to make a bet with Fang Yuan, Shaw was confident of victory; why would he only come to the scene to cause trouble?
White Queen had already gone to the Bear missile Base in Cuba. Shaw had long planned that if he couldn't provoke the two countries into launching an attack, he would fire the first shot for them!
Time was short, and Shaw knew that even if Fang Yuan's Telepathy users noticed White Queen's disappearance, they wouldn't be able to find her for a while.
Even if they did, they didn't have a Mutant like Red Devil who could teleport.
Boom!
Boom!
Riptide went out and created a tornado to interfere with Magneto, causing the submarine to land on the shore of Cuba.
Meanwhile, the X-Jet's engine exploded in the whirlwind, landing alongside the submarine.
"Let's go, meet the X-Men."
Shaw raised his hand and pointed at the inner wall of the submarine, instantly tearing a large hole in it. Because he had anticipated someone would come to stop him, this time Shaw didn't make the foolish mistake of having to temporarily recharge during the final battle.
He led Red Devil and the other two to confront Eric, Alex, Banshee, and Mystique.
Beast was inside the X-Jet, rescuing the trapped Charles and Moira.
"Where is Fang Yuan?" Sebastian Shaw's heart stirred. He didn't see Fang Yuan's figure.
However, he quickly thought that Fang Yuan had no combat ability, so he must have stayed in the rear.
Shaw smiled confidently: "It doesn't matter, the outcome will be decided soon. All that's needed is…"
"All that's needed is for you to move your hand from the button."
Inside the missile Base, Fang Yuan suddenly appeared in front of White Queen and said so.
White Queen asked in surprise, her small mouth slightly agape, looking very pretty: "You… how did you know I was here?"
Fang Yuan's lips curved slightly, which looked very charming in White Queen's eyes: "One must always keep some trump cards, my dear."
"What Shaw can think of, I can naturally think of too."
Of course, the truth was, what Red Devil could think of, Fang Yuan could see.
After gaining Professor X's ability, Fang Yuan focused his Telepathy on Red Devil.
He understood Shaw's team better than Charles.
Shaw wore a helmet, so nothing could be detected from him, but Red Devil was also a key figure in the Hellfire Club. Without his teleportation, even if Shaw wanted to destroy the World, he would only be able to go on foot.
So if Shaw had any ulterior motives, Red Devil's help would definitely be indispensable.
Sure enough, through Red Devil, Fang Yuan discovered that he had brought White Queen to the missile Base. How could he not know Shaw's intentions then?
Deceiving the heavens, fishing in troubled waters?
My ancestors wrote "The Thirty-Six Stratagems".
Don't ask why Fang Yuan, a fish pond owner, knows "The Thirty-Six Stratagems". It has long been said that too many fish is not a good thing; getting the fish to live in harmony is also a great art.
Emma's finger lingered on the nuclear missile launch button, then she suddenly gave a playful smile: "Why should I give up the hope of ruling the World?"
Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow; he had seen this move before.
Do you think this is playing hard to get?
No, when Emma said that, she had actually already made her choice. Now she just wanted to get some benefits from Fang Yuan.
This move, it's called coquetry.
Fang Yuan spread his hands: "Then press it."
Are you kidding? How could he be manipulated by his own fish?
"Huh?"
Emma was stunned. This wasn't what she had expected, was it?
"Hmph!"
Seeing that Fang Yuan was unwilling to coax her, White Queen pouted and let out a coquettish snort, then stretched out her fair, jade-like finger and pressed hard on the nuclear missile launch button.
"Ha?"
Emma gasped, because she found that the button couldn't be pressed. She tried twice more with all her strength, her finger even hurting, but the button remained motionless.
Magneto, [Metal Manipulation (B-class)].
The button was just for show; the mechanism connected below had long been destroyed by Fang Yuan.
At this moment, White Queen realized that Fang Yuan was behind it, no wonder he dared to let her press it casually, so she immediately glared at him.
Fang Yuan smiled slightly: "Don't look at me, mine isn't as hard."
Seeing that Fang Yuan still had the mind to speak nonsense, Emma's face flushed, then she let out a long breath, sighing resignedly: "You win."
"Hehe."
Fang Yuan leaned in for a kiss, and Emma didn't refuse.
This move, it's called flirting.
Fortunately, Fang Yuan worked hard day and night, maintaining a good relationship with Emma. When White Queen saw Fang Yuan appear, she had already shown her preference.
Otherwise, White Queen's Telepathy ability was not inferior to Professor X's. If she insisted on launching a nuclear missile with her strength, even with Fang Yuan's current [Professor X Template], it would be very difficult.
Indeed, what those TV shows say is true: falling in love can indeed save the World.
From this moment on, the outcome of the battle was already predetermined.
"Shaw is right, the key to winning a war often lies outside the battlefield." Fang Yuan agreed with his Good Brother's words.
However, unlike what his Good Brother thought, the outcome of the war was exactly the opposite.
But Emma's expression suddenly changed, and she said to Fang Yuan somewhat anxiously: "Besides me, Shaw has another trick up his sleeve!"
Fang Yuan was astonished. There was another trick that even Red Devil didn't know about?
"The missile Base is the Bear's backup plan. In the United States, Shaw has also turned three high-ranking officials. If any of them make a move, war will still break out!"
Emma revealed everything she knew.
She understood very well that since she had chosen to stand with Fang Yuan, she couldn't let Shaw succeed.
Fang Yuan, however, relaxed his expression: "Vice President Beth, Councilor Partridge, Minister of Defense George?"
"You've already found all the moles?" Emma was very surprised.
"Not yet, we've been unable to pinpoint who among these three is the spy," Fang Yuan said with a smile, explaining his chosen response, "So I've treated all of them as spies."
"Better to kill the wrong ones than to let any go!"
"These three people have all been secretly placed under the strictest surveillance. Even a cough will be thoroughly analyzed. No matter who makes a move, they won't escape!"
Emma was very curious about Fang Yuan's confidence: "They are all at the highest-level official meetings. How can you do all this?"
"It's simple, find us a few allies."
"CIA?" Emma immediately guessed one, "Who else?"
The CIA alone wouldn't help Fang Yuan monitor three top officials.
"Also the FBI and President Kennedy," Fang Yuan responded with an unchanging smile.
Boom!
But his words made Emma's face turn pale with shock.
"How did you do it?" She asked in disbelief.
Shaw had worked for many years, and the highest official he managed to sway was a Bear general; the United States side was just fence-sitters. But how long had Fang Yuan been at it, and he had actually rounded up the entire United States?
