"I have no problem arranging positions for them, or even a special unit, but a bodyguard isn't necessary, is it?"
Kennedy felt that Fang Yuan was making a mountain out of a molehill.
"I'm not lacking people to take a bullet for me," he said.
"I know." Fang Yuan shrugged, patting Logan's thick arm. "But he can detect a crisis before the bullet is even fired."
Beast Sense—it was also a pretty good ability.
"Besides, your current bodyguards can only block a bullet for you once, but he..."
Just as Fang Yuan said this, Viktor impatiently pulled a handgun from his waist—one equipped with a silencer, of course—and aimed it right at Logan's chest—
"Thwip, thwip, thwip!"
Kennedy was shocked; he hadn't expected the person Fang Yuan brought to be so violent.
But what surprised him even more was that Logan didn't fall after being hit by three shots. In fact, the wounds on his chest healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, quickly pushing the three bullet heads out of his body.
Suddenly, Kennedy's eyes widened, as if he had suddenly remembered something.
But at that moment, a knock came from the door of the room.
"Mr. President, do you need assistance?"
"We heard a noise inside just now."
Kennedy responded immediately, but his eyes remained fixed on Logan's face, unable to look away.
"No need. By the way, have cleaning come in to tidy up tomorrow," he said.
"Yes, Mr. President."
Once the people outside left, Kennedy rushed up to Logan.
"It's you!"
Logan was very confused, not understanding what Kennedy meant.
Viktor, who was basically always with him, was also puzzled. He hadn't heard Logan mention that he knew the President before.
Fang Yuan, however, suddenly recalled something, and his expression became somewhat comical.
"You forgot?"
Seeing Logan's bewildered look, Kennedy immediately reminded him.
"1944, in the Pacific Theater, you saved a young Navy Ensign floating on the sea!"
Logan still couldn't recall it.
"I've saved too many people on the battlefield," he replied.
Fang Yuan nodded at this; Wolverine indeed had a habit of saving people wherever he went.
There was a reason he could join the X-Men; that level of awareness was something others couldn't match.
But Logan doing this also planted hidden dangers for himself—namely, many of the people he saved had witnessed his superpowers. If someone had ill intentions, it would be quite troublesome.
For example, Ichiro Yashida in 'The Wolverine' was a pure-bred ungrateful wolf.
But his granddaughter was alright, and the Yashida Family's research on Adamantium was also quite good.
Fang Yuan had already placed his order.
"You saved me!" Kennedy said, pointing at Logan. "But I didn't know your name at the time. I sent people to inquire later, but I couldn't find you."
"You really haven't changed a bit," Kennedy marveled, looking at Logan.
However, he didn't know Logan's true age; otherwise, he would certainly be even more astonished.
"Pacific Theater, later?" Logan thought for a moment and then said with a slight touch of bad luck, "Oh, I was captured at Iwo Jima and then imprisoned in Nagasaki."
He had even endured an atomic bomb there.
It was during the atomic bomb explosion that Logan had saved Ichiro Yashida.
Since the two now had this connection, Kennedy no longer declined. His life had originally been saved by Logan, so having Logan as his bodyguard now allowed him to feel more at ease.
As for Viktor...
"Viktor likes excitement. He can help you handle many dangerous and extremely important missions. Give him enough support, and he can become the sharpest blade in your hand!" Fang Yuan introduced.
Kennedy nodded: "I've seen it."
Daring to fire a gun without any hesitation in the White House right in front of the President—even without an introduction, Kennedy knew Viktor was a ruthless character.
He indeed needed such a ruthless character.
Thus, both Logan and Viktor were kept by Kennedy.
Viktor was taken by Kennedy's brother, Robert, to coordinate and establish the special operations unit.
But Logan went back with Fang Yuan again.
Viktor was for dirty work and wasn't suited for public appearances, but Logan was different.
As an Awakened, he was going to serve as the President's personal bodyguard. How could Vought miss such a great promotional opportunity?
The next day, Vought's media outlets began to exert their influence.
"Awakened Serves as Presidential Bodyguard!"
"Officialdom Completely Embraces the Awakened!"
"Presidential Bodyguard Character Profile — Wolverine!"
In the original plot, the name Wolverine was chosen by Logan himself when he underwent the Adamantium transformation, originating from a story his wife Silver Fox told him.
But this time, Fang Yuan helped name him directly.
Because it involved the President, Vought didn't adopt any flamboyant promotional schemes, but this was enough to have a promotional effect.
After all, the focus of the news also included the most popular President today.
This news quickly spread, and both officials and the public were very surprised.
Since it was related to the President, external interpretations naturally leaned toward politics.
The Vought Act had only been enacted for a few months, and the status of the Awakened was rising. Publicly recruiting Awakened employees for key official positions at this time was simply a move that couldn't be more 'correct.'
What is political correctness?
This was it!
Many people were full of admiration for Kennedy. There was a reason he could be the President, after all.
His methods were one after another.
Hiring an Awakened bodyguard was widely seen by the outside world as a gesture of goodwill from Kennedy toward the Awakened community, and at the same time, it added fuel to the Civil Rights Movement.
After all, the Vought Act, which spoke for the Awakened, had already passed. Kennedy wanted to strike while the iron was hot and successfully push through his own Civil Rights Act as well.
This would count as one of his glorious political achievements.
Although the public's focus was basically on Kennedy, because he was also a protagonist of the news, Wolverine Logan's name was mentioned in passing, causing Logan's reputation to rise rapidly.
[Name: James Logan Howlett]
[Level: B+]
[Reputation: 76 (Widely Known)]
[Unlock Reward: Tier 2 Reward (Available)]
[Tier 2 Reward: Obtain Superpower - Healing Factor (Grade C)]
Wolverine's Tier 2 reward finally unlocked the self-healing ability that Fang Yuan wanted.
However, due to Logan's character level, the [Healing Factor] was only Grade C.
Fang Yuan tested it; he cut a ten-centimeter-long gash on his hand. The bleeding stopped in a few dozen seconds, and after about ten minutes, the large wound on his hand slowly healed.
Compared to Wolverine, it was naturally surprisingly slow, only slightly better than Old Man Logan in 'Logan.'
But don't forget, Fang Yuan's constitution was at an E+ level, and his physical strength was even higher than Wolverine's.
Therefore, the [Healing Factor] could also greatly improve Fang Yuan's survivability.
Especially when it came to using different Character Templates; now, in addition to using two templates, Fang Yuan could add another template that didn't conflict much.
Plan successful!
