Chapter 425: Compromise

"To be able to restitute metal meant that he has already reached the essence of his special ability and he is very close to fully mastering it... Unfortunately, he still limits himself to the way of metal..."
Fang Yuan shook his head.
"Swoosh!"
Just as Fang Yuan was observing, William, who was opposite him, had already made his move.
"Pop! Pop!"
The steel beads that were even scarier than a machine gun rattling were similarly stopped in mid-air by the layer of water membrane. The steel beads caused ripples to form on the water but ultimately could not penetrate it at all.
"Indeed... Lei! You are very strong!"
William appeared excited and continued, "Ever since I fought against the leader of White Pigeon Society, it has been very long since I met such a worthy opponent like you... hope you don't disappoint me!"
"Putt! Putt!"
Under William's control, large amounts of steel beads retreated. A bizarre change soon began as the tip of the beads became sharp and even formed spiral-like threads. The beads then surrounded and flew around Fang Yuan.
"Ding! Ding!"
As though they were searching for a weak spot, the large amounts of steel needles appeared from the skies, the ground and all directions as they flew quickly and attempted to pierce through Fang Yuan's water membrane. The surface of the steel needles even turned orange-red due to their high speed and intense rotation. There was also an irritating smell of rust.
As Lucy watched, her pupils shrunk and she could not help but stand closer to Fang Yuan.
She was clear if this mysterious Lei could not withstand the attack of those silver needles, her outcome would not be hopeful too. She would become like a beehive after being pierced by all those needles and there would be no chance for her to survive.
"Boring... same old tricks! They're useless against me!"
Fang Yuan bragged arrogantly, as though he was a powerful antagonist.
Fang Yuan waved his arm.
"Rumble!"
William was hung upside down by an invisible force and then viciously smashed onto a brick wall.
Under the loud crashing noise, almost the entire wall crumbled.
"Crash!"
As the masonry flew apart, William was pulled again. He was then wildly smashed against the ceiling, the walls and the floor, as though a giant was grabbing onto his leg and using it as a hammer.
"Bang! Bang!"
The loud bangs even made Lucy cringe and tremor in fear.
However, immediately, she noticed something was amiss, "If I was the one under the brunt of such intense attack, I would have long become a pile of minced meat..."
The next moment, the invisible force grabbed William and smashed him into a sharp staircase corner.
"Ding!"
A crisp noise could be heard, as though steel was being hit against.
The strong and sturdy staircase which was built from antique wood collapsed immediately. However, William patted away the dust on his body and stood up slowly.
William's body was covered with a layer of iron sheet, his defence was astounding.
"Such a close shave! If I haven't fought with Black Man's Society's King of Myriad Thoughts before, I guess I wouldn't be able to withstand such a sudden attack..."
As William recounted with trepidation, the iron sheet continued to spread across his body, including onto his brows, eyes, nose, mouth and ears.
As a 3rd Tier mutant, William's body and fitness were naturally strong. Holding his breath was nothing to him.
However, moments later, he was shocked.
Around Fang Yuan, wooden planks, bricks... and many other things were forcefully pressed together by an invisible force, as though they were flattened by a million ton compressor. A gigantic obstruction was formed and smashed towards William.
"A force of the mind at such a level?"
Even though William was protected by his iron sheet, he still ran away quickly.
Such a tremendous force would definitely severely injure him if it landed on him!
"Impossible... this is White Pigeon Society leader's level of strength!"
As William tried to escape, his face was filled with disbelief, "How could a mutant who just suddenly appeared be so strong?"
"Boom!"
However, he no longer had time to ponder about it.
A "block" was viciously smashed in front of the gates and blocked everything, sealing off his escape route.
"Boom! Boom!"
Immediately, more blocks crashed down and buried William alive.
"What a lucky guy... if I didn't have to conceal my identity and disguise myself as a mutant with a mind force special ability... a thunder spell would have easily annihilated you!" Fang Yuan thought.
As Fang Yuan thought silently, he could still feel William's spiritual aura around. Fang Yuan was lazy to execute him and his eyes glowed, "Rise!"
"Rumble!"
The ground rose and large amounts of soil were excavated. After excavating for an unknown depth, an underground warehouse appeared.
"No matter how sturdy a safe its, it would be useless once its entirety is stolen!"
Fang Yuan reached out his both hands and secretly executed his Underground Burrow Technique, "Rise!"
"Earthquake!"
"Earthquake!"
Outside, there were even more policemen gathered around. They immediately felt the earth tremoring and shouted. They then evacuated the servants escaping from the castle.
"Rumble!"
In an instant, there was yet another loud noise.
Under the astonished looks of many, the ancient castle that represented Roth family's long history and heritage completely crumbled and caused dust clouds to billow everywhere.
Under the debris, a large warehouse made of golden alloy emerged from the ground.
"Clang! Clang!"
Fang Yuan went in front of the gold warehouse and casually lifted off the warehouse door. Numerous rare and precious artworks could then be seen inside the warehouse.
"Interesting!"
Fang Yuan walked into the warehouse with his hands behind his back. He was not interested in the mountain tall pile of gold bars and jewellery at all. His right hand then reached out and grabbed a sculpture made of aquilaria wood in the corner.
The sculpture was of an Asura with three heads and six arms. Each face had a different expression which was very vivid.
Lucy, who was at Fang Yuan's side, took a look and could no longer move her eyes away.
"Ehh... the things inside this warehouse are all pretty precious and valuable..."
Fang Yuan closed his eyes and lightly moved his hand. Two more items in the warehouse then flew to his hands.
One was in the shape of a pyramid while the other was a golden sceptre that had a blue gem embedded on it. The blue crystal was the size of an infant's fist.
"This gem... interesting..."
Fang Yuan lightly touched the gem and a hint of excitement appeared on his face, "Seems like I can use it to find another spiritual energy node..."
The reason Fang Yuan came to the West was to look for a place like that willow tree in order to absorb its strength.
"Young man! Put those things down!"
Suddenly, the door on the other side of the warehouse opened. Eric strode in with a shotgun in his hand.
"Eh? Money over life? That doesn't seem like the demeanour of the helm of a large financial group?"
Fang Yuan furrowed his brows and glanced beside him.
"Bang!"
Behind him, Metalbender William had already crawled out from the ruins. Although he was ravaged, they were all just superficial injuries. He then charged into the warehouse.
However, Fang Yuan knew this old Caucasian was not relying on this William.
"No! No!"
Eric held his shotgun firmly and pointed the barrel at Fang Yuan. His eyes were filled with some sadness, "From the moment you forcibly attacked the noble Roth family, it was no longer about some collections! Instead, it is the declaration of a fight to the death!"
Evidently, this old guy was very calm and had a great foresight.
As one of the alpha leaders in Golden Eagle Federation, if the Roth Family were to display any weakness, they would immediately be challenged by many and might even be devoured by the rest!
Hence, even if they suffered tremendous losses, numerous deaths and injuries, and even if they knew it would bring no good to the family, they would never settle before achieving victory.
"Looks like... you are very confident in settling me?"
Fang Yuan smiled slightly.
Even if Eric was holding a rocket launcher, Lucy felt he could do absolutely zero damage to the scary Lei.
"Of course... do you think with Roth family's heritage, we would only have one William?"
Eric's face suddenly flushed red with excitement, "I will let you have a taste of my darling, Angel!"
Behind him, a little girl sitting on a wheelchair slowly wheeled out.
She looked like she was only 11 or 12 years old. She had skin as white and silky as milk, golden blonde curly hair and a pair of eyes as blue as the ocean. It was as though she was an exquisite doll.
"Angel?! She is... Oh no!"
Lucy thought of something, "If the rumours are true, there are such mutants... her special ability is to erase others' special abilities!"
"Erase special abilities?"
Fang Yuan sensed for a while and indeed, realised the girl was like a jammer that kept dispersing the spiritual droplets in the surroundings, forming a vacuum.
Moreover, such an interference even reached Fang Yuan's body as it attempted to interfere with the flow of his spiritual droplets.
If he was not a cultivator and was instead a normal mutant that did not understand how things worked, he would not be able to resist such and his special ability would be erased.
In front of the warehouse door, William had already quickly left. The iron sheet on his body dissipated at once and tiny beads of sand-like iron dropped onto the ground.
"Erasing of special abilities? Interesting!"
Fang Yuan walked forward. His Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Spell was used and the spiritual droplets in his body were like a mountain and were totally unaffected.
"Die... you monster!"
Eric's face was filled with exhilaration as he pulled the trigger.
"Bang!"
A bullet was shot out but it stopped in front of Fang Yuan.
"Impossible..."
Eric looked at the expressionless Angel and then at Fang Yuan. Eric was having an emotional breakdown, "Even Black Man Society's leader cannot counteract Angel's power... unless..."
"4th Tier?"
Lucy was gasping as she uttered that phrase, she looked at Fang Yuan and continued, "You are a 4th Tier mutant?"
"You're called Angel?"
Fang Yuan totally ignored them and instead, went forward to the girl in the wheelchair.
"Follow me, okay?"
The girl had a dazed expression, it seemed as though she was born like that.
"Eh... her body is very weak, she's just a normal person. Also, she's severely paralysed and intellectually disabled too..."
After Fang Yuan analysed her detailedly, he did not hesitate to carry Angel.
"You..."
The expression on Eric's face had already changed. In the end, he gave a bitter laugh and then a deep bow, "Apologies... Mister Lei, I represent Roth family and wholeheartedly surrender to you. Everything in this warehouse belongs to you..."
"No need, I am only interested in her!"
Fang Yuan looked at the Angel in his arms.
"Okay..."
Eric gave a bitter laughter and dared not have any other opinions.
Now, Fang Yuan was like a powerful person who could defeat an entire country. Once someone's power surpassed the norm by too much, any person in authority who could not annihilate him must compromise!
