The Logan brothers were stunned.
They had expected Fang Yuan to offer pretty good conditions, but they didn't expect such an explosive proposal right off the bat.
"Be the President's bodyguard?" Logan's expression was a bit incredulous. "You dare... no... does he dare?"
Fang Yuan smiled. Logan asked if Kennedy dared, but didn't say whether he himself wanted to, so his inclination was already very clear.
Viktor, however, seemed uninterested after hearing it. He didn't want to be a bodyguard. Sabretooth's personality was cruel and violent; he preferred life on the battlefield.
However, in Fang Yuan's original plan, he only intended to have Wolverine protect Kennedy.
Sabretooth?
Fang Yuan was also worried that if Viktor stayed too long and became unhappy, he might just kill Kennedy.
"Now there are more and more Awakened, and ordinary bodyguards are no longer enough to protect the President, so he is also willing to let Awakened protect him," Fang Yuan explained.
In fact, he hadn't discussed it with Kennedy, but given their current relationship, Kennedy would be eager for Vought Corporation to send people to protect him.
He didn't want to have another wild idea and transform into the U.S. Pleasure Sect again.
Facing Viktor, Fang Yuan proposed again, "Of course, you can also choose to join the special forces under the President and continue to use your strengths on the battlefield or elsewhere."
"What's the point of being an ordinary soldier here? After joining Vought Corporation, you can become a Commander under the President, and if you come back, you'll be superior to these people."
Fang Yuan's words accurately struck Viktor's heart, making him grin, his sharp teeth exposed to the air.
Viktor had long been annoyed with the idiotic superiors in the army, with all their military rules and regulations. If Logan hadn't held him back, Viktor would have torn their throats out long ago.
"Join Vought Corporation, and you can get everything you want: status, respect. No one will dare call you monsters anymore!" Fang Yuan's tone was full of enticement.
Logan suddenly asked, "What if they do?"
Fang Yuan's lips curved into a beautiful arc: "Then tear them apart. Vought Corporation has immunity!"
Viktor's smile grew wider, and even Logan couldn't help but feel closer to Fang Yuan.
So their choice was beyond doubt.
Fang Yuan handed over two invitation letters.
[Vought Corporation sincerely invites you to join.]
[Inviter: Fang Yuan.]
[Signatory: Blank]
Don't assume Wolverine and Sabretooth are uncultured brutes; they are literate.
In fact, in the comics, Wolverine can speak eight languages.
In the post-credits scene of "Wolverine 1," there's also a description of Logan speaking Japanese.
However, due to a change in directors, the setting of Wolverine speaking multiple languages was later abandoned. Logan doesn't speak Japanese in "Wolverine 2" or Spanish in "Wolverine 3"; it seems the setting is that he only speaks English.
In the movie adaptation, Logan and Viktor have always been fighting, so it makes sense for them not to speak other languages. In any case, Fang Yuan plans to give them intensive language lessons for various countries once they return to Vought Corporation.
If Vought Corporation employees don't speak multiple languages, how can they go to other countries to 'harvest leeks'?
As the two signed their names, Fang Yuan's company panel received a notification.
[Congratulations! The company has signed a B+ level ability user: James Logan Howlett.]
[Congratulations! The company has signed a B+ level ability user: Viktor Creed.]
Wolverine and Sabretooth were both rated as B+ level by the company panel.
Although Wolverine is famous, his Bone Claws are only considered average in terms of superpowers, and his Beast Sense is decent but not outstanding. Without his healing factor, his rating might not even reach B+.
However, Fang Yuan sought Wolverine precisely because he valued his healing factor.
If he possessed Wolverine's healing factor, he would be able to withstand more backlash from using different abilities, which would be a significant enhancement for Fang Yuan himself.
Moreover, Wolverine's healing factor is somewhat subjective; sometimes a bullet can knock him out, while other times he can instantly recover even after taking a hit from the Phoenix Force.
Although when he resisted the Phoenix Force, Jean, due to Logan's love, released a vast amount of Water.
What Aegean Sea?
But Jean merely reined in the Phoenix Force; Logan's healing speed was still Wolverine's own ability.
So even if, from a design perspective, Sabretooth Viktor's stats are stronger than Logan's in every aspect, Fang Yuan still values Wolverine the most.
There's no helping it. Even if Sabretooth's physical attributes and sensory abilities far surpass Wolverine's, and he also has a healing factor, Wolverine has the protagonist's halo.
And the name Wolverine signed is also quite interesting.
James Logan Howlett.
His birth name is James Howlett. Logan is the surname of his biological father. In the movie adaptation, Wolverine is the child born from an affair between the Howlett family's gardener, Thomas Logan, and Mrs. Howlett, making him Sabretooth's half-brother.
Hmm, this background is very Western.
So during these hundred-plus years of wandering, Wolverine often used aliases such as James Logan, Logan Howlett, Howlett James, and so on.
This time, when signing, because Fang Yuan had already revealed that he knew their true identities, Wolverine directly signed his full name.
[Name: James Logan Howlett]
[Level: B+]
[Fame: 21 (Slightly Famous)]
[Unlock Rewards: Initial Reward (Claimable), Tier 1 Reward (Claimable)]
[Initial Reward: Obtain Superpower - Bone Claws (D-level)]
[Tier 1 Reward: Obtain Superpower - Beast Sense (D-level)]
Although Wolverine is over a hundred years old, his fame isn't particularly high due to constantly changing identities.
However, due to his fearless fighting style and eye-catching superpowers, Logan is somewhat famous within the army, so his initial fame is even higher than Magneto's back then.
Although the unlocked rewards did not include a healing factor.
However, Fang Yuan had already anticipated this. After all, the character level is only B+, so the rewards unlocked in the first two tiers would definitely not be high.
In any case, it will quickly increase with Vought Corporation's promotion.
Sabretooth was similar.
[Name: Viktor Creed]
[Level: B+]
[Fame: 28 (Slightly Famous)]
[Unlock Rewards: Initial Reward (Claimable), Tier 1 Reward (Claimable)]
[Initial Reward: Obtain Superpower - Talon (D-level)]
[Tier 1 Reward: Obtain Superpower - Beast Sense (D-level)]
Although Sabretooth's physical attributes were higher than Wolverine's, there was still a significant gap compared to Fang Yuan, so the unlocked rewards were not of much help to Fang Yuan.
He claimed both of their rewards, and then a prompt suddenly appeared on the panel.
[Identical ability detected. Superpower - Beast Sense (D-level) has been upgraded to C-level.]
Fang Yuan nodded; this was a pleasant surprise.
