All this time, Fang Yuan had not been too radical in his actions, mainly focusing on being reasonable and legitimate, so as not to destroy Vought's carefully constructed public relations platform.
However, Fang Yuan's own identity still required him to be mindful of his image and put on an act.
But his Black King identity didn't need to.
After all, Fang Yuan had positioned him as Magneto.
How could Magneto not cause trouble?
Sage Grove Center.
This was a psychiatric hospital under Vought.
Of course, any normal institution connected with the name Vought would become abnormal.
So, beneath the facade of a psychiatric hospital, this was where Vought experimented with compound v.
The "mental patients" inside were actually all Superhumans who were deemed too unstable to debut and thus used as experimental fodder.
It was similar to Homelander's childhood laboratory.
However, Homelander had a private room, with an entire experimental area dedicated to his research, while these Superhumans could only share experimental facilities.
Fang Yuan wanted the compound v formula, and this place was an excellent breakthrough point. Moreover, if all went well, he could also recruit some capable subordinates.
Currently, although the Black King had dozens of underlings in The Boys, the combat power of Kuchi, Claw Woman, and others was truly unimpressive, not even as helpful to the Black King as Sara, the Heat-Generating Woman.
After all, warmth was very comfortable.
The Black King came alone. This place was very important to Vought, so its defenses were naturally very strict, with armed guards everywhere. There were also countermeasures against Superhumans in the experimental building.
Such as anesthetic gas and sonic weapons.
It was clear that Vought's research into Superhumans was indeed profound, knowing that the weaknesses of most Superhumans lay within their bodies.
However, all these weapons combined were completely unable to threaten the Black King.
Fang Yuan used Riptide's ability, quickly spinning in place for a moment, immediately stirring up a massive tornado, three stories high, that rushed directly towards the most heavily guarded staff building of the Sage Grove Center.
"Oh my god, what is that?"
Several guards stared blankly at the sweeping hurricane. Although it was only evening, the sand and dust stirred up by the strong winds had already dimmed their vision as targets. Those closer to the windows could already smell the thick earthy scent.
"Look, there's a person!"
At this moment, a sharp-eyed guard pointed at a black figure in the sky and shouted.
"Intruder alert!"
Someone reacted quickly and immediately pulled the alarm, warning others in the Base to take cover. But the guards in the target building looked at the hurricane almost upon them, then at the tiny firearms in their hands, and a thought flashed through their minds—
"It seems like this life, we don't need to struggle anymore."
The moment this thought arose in their hearts, the tornado had already crashed into the building, and the violent winds directly pulverized half of the building. Those within the affected range had also been scattered by the wind.
"Da da da!"
At this time, guards from other buildings quickly organized a counterattack, firing their rifles continuously at the Black King.
However, Fang Yuan had already activated the Black King Template, and these bullets only served to charge him.
He charged straight down, hitting the ground with a thunderous crash, accompanied by the discharge of the energy contributed by the guards. Immediately, the guards were torn apart, scattered, and left fighting for their lives.
The above idioms are all literal descriptions.
"Black King, it's the Black King!"
Someone recognized Fang Yuan's identity. MIB was quite famous now, especially among Vought employees, who were familiar with him through constant exposure.
Witnessing the Black King's terrifying strength, the guards quickly fled, no one daring to fire another shot.
How much did they earn in a month? Why risk their lives?
Moreover, they already knew the attacker's identity, so they would have an explanation if Vought asked.
Fang Yuan headed straight for the "Inpatient Department" where Superhumans were detained. Besides guards, there were also many ordinary employees here, such as a group of people hiding in the monitoring room.
"Aren't you a Superhuman? Can you deal with the Black King?" A guard asked, pointing at a man in a staff uniform.
"How could I?" The man immediately retorted, saying with a look of absurdity, "I even doubt Homelander could deal with him!"
The guard was utterly disappointed: "Damn it, are you really one of The Seven?"
Indeed, the man he had placed his hopes on was none other than Lamplighter, a retired member of The Seven!
Although Lamplighter was once glorious, as Vought's workhorse, he lost his commercial value after retirement. In Vought, a Superhuman without commercial value was synonymous with being useless.
So Lamplighter could only be repurposed, assigned to the Sage Grove Center as a cleaner.
Meaning, cleaning up disobedient Superhumans.
"If we wait here for the lady to arrive, we should be saved, right?" someone asked.
But others held no hope: "In this situation... would she really dare to come?"
"By the way, he wouldn't be here for you, would he?"
At this moment, another employee suddenly spoke, clearly knowing some of Vought's internal secrets, aware that the Black King had once tried to capture Lamplighter.
"If we just hand him over, will we be safe?" the previous guard quickly asked.
For a moment, Lamplighter genuinely wanted to burn all these unreliable teammates to death.
But although he was a Superhuman, besides his fire control ability, his physical fitness was only at an ordinary person's level. Burning these people to death would likely get him shot to death, so he didn't move.
"It's useless. If he came for me, the Black King wouldn't have made such a big fuss!" Lamplighter quickly explained, because he clearly saw someone already looking for a rope.
And two guards' gazes were already fixed on the lighter in his hand.
Lamplighter felt a bit tired. He quickly stated his conjecture: "For the Black King to specifically come here, it's highly likely for the Sage Grove Center itself."
The people around were skeptical, and Lamplighter angrily shouted: "Don't you know what you usually do?"
Only then did everyone fall silent.
Recently, Superhuman Terrorists had caused a huge commotion outside, and many people knew their origin. However, Vought had always been conducting experiments injecting compound v into adults.
Just as the scene fell silent, someone among them pointed at the monitor and shouted: "Look!"
Everyone turned their attention to the monitor and saw the Black King arrive in the ward area, actually releasing all the patients one by one!
"We're screwed!" someone wailed.
The Black King might not specifically come to kill them, they just needed to hide until he left. But these patients, whom they had "entertained" day and night, every single one of them definitely wanted to kill them.
Some patients here had defective abilities from injecting compound v as children, some developed mental instability from injecting it as adults, and some were inherently too dangerous. In short, they were all unstable factors.
However, the Black King didn't care if they were stable or not, as long as—
"Follow me, and I can lead you to take revenge on Vought."
To these patients, Fang Yuan went straight to the point without any superfluous words.
Among these people, Fang Yuan was most interested in two.
One was Cindy, a short-haired, poker-faced woman whose superpower was telekinesis, capable of easily crushing steel plates. Her strength was considered formidable even in The Boys World.
The other was a slovenly Fat whose superpower was impressive, known in the comics as "Love Sausage."
Because his sausage could freely control its thickness and length, up to thirty centimeters in diameter and over ten meters long was no problem.
Invisible Man? This was the ability men truly dreamed of.
Fang Yuan's own was completely sufficient, but he couldn't resist his curiosity.
If this ability were on him, how many new tricks could he play?
True Tentacle Play?
Ahem... a bit bizarre, not suitable for minors.
However, the Black King's name was very famous outside, but these patients had been in the wards for years and hardly knew the Black King.
So, someone immediately scoffed at Fang Yuan's words and ran straight towards the exit.
It seemed this was a speed Superhuman, but not even 0.5 Mach.
So, the Black King even had time to shake his head.
"Impolite," he muttered.
You, the Lucky One who will establish my authority, are chosen.
Then Fang Yuan, at a speed far exceeding the Lucky One's, overtook him and appeared in front of him. The Lucky One's face first showed surprise, then turned utterly terrified.
Because the Black King didn't slow down.
"Bang!"
The Lucky One was hit by the Black King, who came crashing with energy. His entire body shattered, a very traditional The Boys death, only the Black King was more thorough, not even leaving him a pair of hands.
Hughie Campbell gave a thumbs up.
In the blink of an eye, Cindy and the others only saw a pool of blood surging towards them. Looking at the scene, besides the Black King, where was the Lucky One's shadow?
Ah no, on Cindy and the others' clothes, the floor, the corridor, and the ceiling, the Lucky One was everywhere.
The Black King had some energy isolation, not a drop of blood stained him. He then spoke: "You can call me the Black King. I'll ask again, who among you wants to follow me?"
The Superhumans looked at each other. The Lucky One's blood was still dripping, who would dare to refuse?
Anyway, no matter what, at least they could leave this ghostly Sage Grove Center.
As for the Black King clearly intending to do bad things, Cindy and the others didn't care.
It's fine, they weren't good people either.
Immediately, Fang Yuan counted the number of people. There were a total of thirty-two Superhumans here, but only twenty could follow, the rest either needed frequent injections or were simply too weak.
Fang Yuan wasn't taking just anyone.
Then Fang Yuan pointed at the time on the wall.
"In 20 minutes, gather at the entrance," he said.
At first, the Superhumans didn't understand what he meant, but Cindy was the first to react, immediately rushing towards Vought's employees, crushing three people consecutively with "bang bang bang" sounds.
Now the others understood; this was giving them free rein.
So, twenty Superhumans, howling, began to hunt down the staff of the Sage Grove Center.
The staff here were all stained with blood, perfect for the Black King to give as a welcoming gift to his subordinates.
And Fang Yuan, in these twenty minutes, also packed up all the research data from the Sage Grove Center.
