Chapter 58 - 58Chapter 58: Xiao's Pattern

"The White Queen and the Red Devil?" he asked.

"Emma and Azazel decided to come to my side," Fang Yuan's words completely extinguished Shaw's hope.

The White Queen and Azazel were the core figures of Shaw's team; without their help, Shaw would be a lone commander.

Riptide and Salvador were both average in strength, and their abilities were not as overpowered as Telepathy and Teleportation.

Shaw narrowed his eyes, a dangerous look in them.

"Perhaps I might lose, but I can make sure you won't win!"

"You dare to show your face in front of me now, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Fang Yuan finally showed some dominance at this moment.

"That line should be mine to say to you!"

He straightened his body, and Shaw's attention was immediately drawn to him. Then, he suddenly felt a lightness on his head and was instantly terrified.

His helmet had been taken!

Shaw immediately mustered the energy in his body, wanting to retreat quickly, but Fang Yuan's speed was even faster. After using Magneto's ability to remove the helmet, he immediately switched to Professor X's ability and invaded Shaw's brain.

Shaw's body instantly froze.

No matter how powerful a person is, as long as their weakness is caught, they are easy to deal with.

Fang Yuan picked up the helmet that had fallen to the ground and tried it on himself; the size was quite suitable.

However, he had no use for it, after all, he knew everything Professor X did.

Then Fang Yuan released his control over Shaw, who looked over in utter shock.

"You have Telepathy!" He was very surprised. Then Shaw thought of the scene where the helmet flew off just now and immediately shook his head, "No, you also have Metal Manipulation."

Shaw sighed, "You really are surprising."

His gaze became very complex. After Fang Yuan displayed his Telepathy ability, Shaw had no chance of winning.

"You won."

At this point, Shaw finally admitted that Fang Yuan had won. He understood that once the helmet was taken and Fang Yuan also had Telepathy, any resistance he put up was meaningless.

Shaw asked with a complex look, "I can't live, can I?"

Fang Yuan pursed his lips and said nothing.

Although Fang Yuan was a little reluctant, a dead Good Brother was the best Good Brother.

Shaw, however, laughed heartily, "I understand, the new king must step on the corpse of the old king to ascend."

"The Hellfire Club is yours. I only have one request." Shaw said gravely, "You must uphold the superiority of Mutants and make Mutants stand above humans!"

"No problem," Fang Yuan readily agreed.

Shaw shook his head and laughed, "I know you're humoring me."

"But I also know that with your personality, Mutants will definitely not suffer," Shaw's gaze was firm.

Fang Yuan's expression shifted slightly, then he nodded.

The status of Mutants was related to his rewards, so Fang Yuan naturally wouldn't let Mutants return to a state where they could be easily bullied.

However, it was Shaw who truly shocked Fang Yuan.

Upon realizing his impending defeat, Shaw's demeanor seemed to elevate once more.

He didn't beg for mercy; instead, he cared more about the Mutant community.

Of course, it was also possible that Shaw knew he was going to die and didn't want to go out as a coward.

Then, to Fang Yuan's astonished gaze, Shaw suddenly said, "Good, then take out your invitation letter."

Fang Yuan's heart trembled, and he immediately stared at Shaw with wide eyes.

He really hadn't expected the true purpose of the invitation letter to be seen through by Shaw.

Sebastian Shaw saw Fang Yuan's expression and smiled even more broadly.

"I just love seeing you surprised."

"Very surprised?"

Fang Yuan couldn't help but nod.

"The first time you took out the invitation letter, I was already suspicious, after all, you never do meaningless things."

Shaw's gaze was profound, and his tone was actually quite surprised: "It wasn't until you used Metal Manipulation and Telepathy just now that I finally confirmed that you can indeed gain power from the invitation letter."

Fang Yuan hadn't expected that he had only tested once, trying to get Shaw to sign the invitation letter, and Shaw had already become suspicious.

It just goes to show that those who can be villains are indeed extraordinary.

Fang Yuan couldn't help it, because at the beginning of the venture, the methods were inevitably a bit rough.

It would be better in the future; he would just need to turn the invitation letter into a welcome ceremony for joining Vought Corporation, and he wouldn't have to deliberately ask people to sign it.

And now, Shaw, knowing all this, still agreed to sign, which was truly a great gift from this Good Brother to Fang Yuan.

Shaw saw Fang Yuan's confusion, he shook his head and smiled, "We had an agreement, winner takes all."

So Fang Yuan quickly conjured a piece of paper out of thin air; this was also the first time Fang Yuan had taken out the invitation letter without any reservations.

Then he teleported outside, got a pen, and quickly returned, walking over to hand the invitation letter to Shaw.

[Vought Corporation cordially invites you to join.]

[Inviter: Fang Yuan.]

[Signatory: Blank]

"Truly… a unique ability."

Shaw held the invitation letter, turning it over and over. He had studied Mutants his whole life and had never seen such an incredible ability.

"Can I sign any name?" Shaw suddenly asked.

Shaw had lived a very long life, during which he had changed several names.

Fang Yuan was filled with mixed emotions; he could tell that Shaw genuinely wanted to help him.

"Any is fine," Fang Yuan replied.

He had long discovered that writing anything on the invitation letter was just a formality; as long as one willingly joined, even drawing a circle was acceptable.

Sebastian Shaw picked up the pen and elegantly wrote his name on the invitation letter.

The next moment—

[Congratulations to the company for signing an A+ ranked ability user: Sebastian Shaw.]

As soon as the prompt sounded, Fang Yuan eagerly opened Shaw's character card.

[Name: Sebastian Shaw]

[Level: A+]

[Reputation: 132 (Renowned)]

[Unlocked Rewards: Initial Reward (Claimable), Tier 1 Reward (Claimable), Tier 2 Reward (Claimable), Tier 3 Reward (Claimable)]

Because too many rewards were unlocked at once, the Tier 3 reward directly covered the previous ones, so Fang Yuan directly checked the most important one—

[Character Template: Sebastian Shaw (A+ rank, Development 35%)]

Shaw's development of his abilities reached 35%, significantly higher than Charles's 12%, no wonder he could fight two people alone.

And now, all of Shaw's efforts contributed to Fang Yuan.

So satisfying.

Outside, the waves stirred up by Riptide continued, while Salvador had already been hit by Alex and Sean working together, lying motionless on the ground.

Fang Yuan teleported away again, and when he returned, he had a grenade in his hand.

Then, under Shaw's expectant gaze, Fang Yuan detonated the grenade.

"Boom!"

The grenade made a muffled sound, but the explosion range was confined to Fang Yuan's palm. Two seconds later, all the flames were absorbed into Fang Yuan's body.

Seeing this familiar scene, Shaw smiled happily.

Although he couldn't survive, his abilities still existed in the World.
