Kuchi did not hesitate at all and agreed to Fang Yuan's offer directly.
He didn't even ask what Fang Yuan wanted him to do.
The reason was naturally that Fang Yuan's combat power was clearly superior to his; Kuchi was very practical.
This person was someone who never appeared in the original plot; after searching for information, Fang Yuan found him quite suitable for running errands, so he came to recruit him.
"So, what kind of organization are we?" Kuchi asked with an air of professional curiosity. "Is it a religion? Or a gang?"
"No." Fang Yuan smiled slightly. "We are an official government organization!"
"How is that possible?"
Kuchi was extremely shocked because while the government did indeed have Superhuman employees, they were all under Vought's control.
Since Fang Yuan had sought out someone like him who had been abandoned by Vought, he clearly didn't belong to Vought. How could he possibly be accepted by the government?
People in this World generally accepted that Superhumans belonged to Vought. Thanks to decades of Vought's brainwashing of the public, even the Superhumans themselves believed their only path was to gain Vought's favor.
Kuchi's reasoning was correct; under normal circumstances, the government would not have Superhumans outside of Vought because Vought had controlled all Superhumans since they were injected with compound v as children.
But Fang Yuan was not a native here. Furthermore, he had already controlled the President, the Minister of Defense, and others; giving himself an official identity was beyond simple.
As for Fang Yuan wanting to take over the World, could he just take a trip around the capitals of various countries?
That wouldn't work, of course. Take the United States as an example; the people who truly rule the U.S. aren't in Washington.
Fang Yuan didn't want to go around using Telepathy on everyone one by one; that would be time-consuming, easy to expose, and lacked any fun.
So, he planned to follow the path of his predecessors.
"Our department is under the Department of Defense, primarily responsible for helping the government oversee the increasingly excessive Superhumans," Fang Yuan introduced.
It was roughly similar to the Bureau of Investigation for Superheroes in seasons two and three of The Boys, but Fang Yuan clearly wanted more than that.
"For example, promoting the Superhuman Registration Act, helping the government take control of Superhumans, and so on."
That's right, Fang Yuan had taken the awakened one act he had just personally overthrown in the X-Men World, changed its name, and picked it up again!
Different positions lead to different actions.
To him in the X-Men World, the awakened one act was filth, but to the Fang Yuan in The Boys World, it was a good thing.
Using the government's cover, he could collect a list of all Superhumans and take any with interesting abilities for experimentation.
So I'm the pioneer after all?
Of course, these were things Vought was already doing. The problem was that Vought's actions were illegal; if a similar act were promulgated, Fang Yuan, backed by the government, would be acting legally and compliantly.
Butch let out a sigh of relief. Seeing Fang Yuan's entrance, he had thought it was an invitation from some cult or underground force; he hadn't expected him to be a government man.
You should have said earlier that you work for the state.
"What is our department called?" Kuchi asked.
Fang Yuan's eyes darted around, and he came up with an appropriate name.
"Men in Black, MIB for short."
"Men in Black?" Kuchi repeated the somewhat strange name.
"The subordinate branch you are going to is the BRPT," Fang Yuan continued.
Kuchi didn't quite understand, so Fang Yuan explained: "Black Robe Picket Team."
Translated into English, that is—The Boys.
Since this was The Boys World, not using this name would be a complete waste.
As for the department name 'Men in Black', that was just a whim of Fang Yuan's.
"Then what do I need to do?"
Once the organization's name was settled, Kuchi suddenly shed his previous decadence and asked with full spirit and motivation.
Fang Yuan immediately realized that the Black Emperor Aura had taken effect.
The problem was, his MIB only had two people right now?
This was already judged to be a dark organization?
Although the description of the Black Emperor Aura stated it would take effect as long as he was the leader of a non-righteous organization, neutral organizations actually worked too.
But the leadership bonus for a neutral organization was nowhere near as high as for a dark organization.
Looking at Kuchi's state, he was clearly pumped up like he'd been injected with chicken blood. Obviously, under the system's judgment, MIB was not a neutral organization.
So whose fault was it?
Fang Yuan glanced at Kuchi.
"I didn't expect this plain-looking guy to have such a dark heart, corrupting my entire organization!" Fang Yuan thought to himself.
It definitely couldn't be that he himself was the problem.
Kuchi's superpower was the ability to persuade others with words, very similar to a certain 'mind-blowing' President from a different series.
Of course, superpowers in The Boys World all had various limitations; Kuchi's ability only worked when spoken face-to-face.
In The Boys World, mental-type superpowers were very rare, which was why Fang Yuan had come to recruit him.
But if Fang Yuan could see his value, Vought naturally could as well.
Yet Kuchi had still been abandoned.
*Gulp, gulp, gulp.* Kuchi couldn't help but pour himself a drink.
Clearly, this was the reason he had been abandoned by Vought.
The data Fang Yuan found showed that Vought had once placed a heavy bet on Kuchi, making him a spokesperson for religious affairs—the same position held by Ezekiel in the original plot.
The superpower to persuade others was extremely useful in religious settings.
But indiscriminate alcoholism ruined Kuchi. His most outrageous act was getting drunk and attending a religious gathering, where he successfully persuaded all the believers to engage in a mass brawl on the spot.
Vought had to spend a great deal of effort to settle that matter, and Kuchi had been abandoned ever since.
Although he knew Kuchi had an 'illustrious' record, Fang Yuan didn't care. He only needed Kuchi to quickly help him recruit people for MIB to keep up appearances.
After all, he was the boss; how could he keep going out to recruit people himself?
Fang Yuan brought Kuchi to the MIB headquarters, a detached Villa located in Brooklyn.
Because it was spearheaded by the Minister of Defense, funds arrived quickly, and the Green Lantern was given to the office space and other requirements.
However, the office staff had not yet been fully assembled; they would be arriving at their posts one after another over the next few days.
"Our duty is to supervise Superhumans, so we also need the help of Superhumans. You are responsible for recruiting team members."
Fang Yuan threw some cash to Kuchi.
"Bring them here."
Kuchi's eyes lit up, and he immediately patted his chest, guaranteeing he would complete the mission.
"I know many Superhumans who are at odds with Vought. They will surely bring a lot of trouble to Vought!"
Fang Yuan nodded, but after Kuchi left, he let out a soft chuckle.
"Bring trouble to Vought? Let's see if they can survive first."
Vought had placed tracking chips in the bodies of all Superhumans. Kuchi's move to recruit a large number of low-level Superhumans would definitely attract Vought's attention.
When that happened, the existence of MIB would certainly not remain a secret.
All of this was within Fang Yuan's expectations.
So he was quite curious to see how Vought would react.
Would they remain indifferent or send someone to interfere?
Either way, Fang Yuan had a trap waiting.
