"If anything happens to Vought Corporation in the future, I'll need the FBI's continued support," Fang Yuan said with a chuckle, stating his request directly.
Charles and the other person secretly gasped.
Fang Yuan's meaning was, wasn't it to have the Bureau of Investigation cover up Vought Corporation's crimes in the future?
If he didn't know he couldn't sense it, Charles would have really wanted to see what Fang Yuan was thinking in his head, to dare say such things to the Director of the FBI.
How could this be…
"Okay!"
"Huh?"
Charles looked on, utterly stunned, his mouth slightly agape, as Frye decisively agreed.
No, was this something that could just be agreed to?
Something in Charles's heart seemed to shatter; he looked over at Eric and saw that Wan Tie Wang was also in a state of bewilderment.
Fang Yuan smiled slightly.
Charles and the other person were still young; they didn't understand that so-called laws were only meant to restrain ordinary people. For someone at Frye's level, as long as he didn't cause trouble, violating a hundred or so laws was completely inconsequential.
Moreover, this was not without precedent.
Back in the 1950s, Frye colluded with the Gang; the FBI helped the Gang cover up their crimes, and the Gang, in turn, used its channels to help the FBI plant Agents.
To what extent did the FBI go?
Before the Gang was accidentally exposed, even when the domestic Gangs were rampant, and even when the Gang was the most powerful among them, Frye's Bureau of Investigation consistently denied the Gang's existence.
If it weren't for a Police officer accidentally stumbling upon a Gang high-level meeting five years ago, and then calling for reinforcements to take them all down, the FBI might still not have changed its tune even now.
So, now, cooperating with Fang Yuan in this manner, Frye had no psychological burden whatsoever; he even thought it was quite good, as it also aligned with his way of doing things.
"Anyway, if Vought Corporation really gets into trouble, I'll just say I didn't know," Frye thought.
Just as the FBI quickly cut ties after the Gang's incident.
But Charles and Eric, who were unaware of the inside story, were stunned; the country's biggest intelligence chief was so blatantly abusing his power for personal gain!
The United States was doomed.
With the deal concluded, guided by Frye, Fang Yuan handed the list to Clyde, who was guarding the door. Clyde then passed it to Frye through another door.
Frye eagerly opened the list, and his eyes immediately narrowed. As he flipped through page after page, he saw names of people in high positions or crucial roles. If they hadn't been discovered in time, they truly could have instigated a major war.
And there were even FBI officials on it. Frye's face turned fierce as he stared intently at the names.
Although there were rumors that he was out of touch with the times, within the Bureau of Investigation, he was still a genuine local emperor!
With the important list in hand, Frye had more room to think. Seeing the names of the officials on it, he knew that Fang Yuan would hand over the list no matter what, as the X-Squad couldn't arrest people.
But Frye knew that the same thing, in different hands, had completely different values; this list was very useful to him.
As for Vought Corporation's ability to control public opinion, Frye hadn't seen much of it, as Vought Corporation was known for its exclusive news.
However, since the X-Squad was under Vought Corporation, Frye found it very valuable. He could foresee that once this news was exposed, Vought Corporation's influence among Mutants would definitely skyrocket.
At that time, more Mutants would join Vought Corporation, and the FBI might even get a share of the pie.
This business was a sure profit.
For Fang Yuan, it was even more so.
Now, Vought Corporation had initially established cooperative relationships with President Kennedy, the CIA, and the Bureau of Investigation.
And these three, any one of them had a not-so-good relationship with the other two.
This was quite good, at least Fang Yuan didn't have to worry about them ganging up on him.
Speaking of controlling the World, a brute like Shaw was just for fun; to learn technology, one had to look at Fang Yuan.
Although Fang Yuan didn't want to rule the World, he also had to prevent anyone from trying to rule him.
With the list in Frye's hands, Fang Yuan felt relieved; the things the X-Squad found inconvenient to do, the FBI would teach them a lesson.
"Oh, right," Fang Yuan suddenly remembered a crucial matter and quickly reminded Frye, "Behind these people, there's also a top official, but he's very well hidden, and we haven't dug him out."
Frye was silent for a moment, then slowly replied, "Okay."
His gaze became even more dangerous; if he found out which top official was causing trouble behind his back, Frye would never let it go!
Fang Yuan and the two others quickly left. Before they departed, Deputy Director Clyde gave Fang Yuan a document.
"If you need anything normally, you can contact them. The Director has already given them a heads-up, and they will fully cooperate with you," Clyde said.
Fang Yuan opened the document and immediately chuckled; it contained the information and contact details of three people, who were none other than the remaining three Agents secretly embedded within Vought Corporation.
It seemed Frye thought that since they were already exposed anyway, he might as well make use of them and directly hand them over to Fang Yuan as contacts.
Although there was a suspicion of laziness, this was also a gesture of goodwill from the underground President, and Fang Yuan readily accepted it.
Anyway, for him, exposed spies no longer posed a threat.
It wasn't until they reached the airport that Charles and Eric finally couldn't help but exclaim to Fang Yuan, "Fang, you're amazing!"
"The CIA, the President, the Bureau of Investigation—you've single-handedly erected a huge barrier for Mutants!"
Although the main body of cooperation Fang Yuan spoke of was Vought Corporation, in the eyes of Charles and the other person, Vought Corporation's situation was equivalent to the Mutants' situation.
Fang Yuan didn't take all the credit: "This isn't just because of me; with your help, I was able to do these things."
Without Professor X's Telepathy and Magneto's cover, Fang Yuan wouldn't have been able to accomplish so much so easily.
Don't look at Eric as just tagging along; in reality, the heavy responsibility for the trio's safety rested on him.
Hmm, not just tagging along, but as a henchman…
"So what do we do now?" Charles asked.
Eric also cast an inquiring gaze.
Now, both of them were completely convinced by Fang Yuan; everything they did was at Fang Yuan's command.
"You two go back and prepare for battle. In the end, Sebastian Shaw will still have to be dealt with by us Mutants," Fang Yuan replied.
"Okay!"
Before Charles could speak, Eric immediately agreed.
His grudge with Shaw had lasted for so many years; it was time for an end.
Charles nodded. The Mutant situation was looking very good now, which made him even more disgusted by Mutants like Shaw who believed in terrorism and caused harm.
"What about you?" Charles asked again.
"Me? I'm going back to Vought Corporation."
Fang Yuan already had a plan in mind.
"I believe that after the FBI takes action, someone will be unable to resist coming to find me."
