Observations

In Medusa's office, the air rippled slightly before the figures of Johnny, Medusa, and another figure materialized.

As the spatial distortion settled, Johnny's eyes gleamed sharply, sweeping over the Azazel with keen interest. 

The Azazel felt a chill run down his spine under Johnny's gaze, an inexplicable fear seeping into his heart. The moment their eyes met, the Azazel experienced a creepy sensation, but it vanished almost instantly, leaving him uncertain if it was merely a figment of his imagination. What the Azazel didn't realize was that Johnny was indeed intrigued by his teleportation ability, a skill that could be crucial in Johnny's quest to enhance himself.

However, since the Azazel had chosen to surrender, Johnny had no intention of attacking him without reason.

"Master, is everything going well?" Medusa, who had been somewhat tense, visibly relaxed upon seeing Johnny and asked obediently.

"Yes, everything has been resolved, Medusa," Johnny replied. "This is the White Queen, Emma, and the Azazel. They are both my servants. From now on, you will be in charge of them. They will control the Hellfire Club, and you will oversee it directly."

Johnny's plan extended beyond just acquiring capable subordinates; he had his sights set on the Hellfire Club. The Hellfire Club was an international organization comprised of the world's social elites. Over the years, it had been meticulously built by Sebastian Shaw, with the help of the White Queen and others. Its members were influential figures, including celebrities, business tycoons, and political elites, wielding considerable power.

"I understand," Medusa responded, her beautiful eyes sweeping over the Azazel and White Queen. She used her psychic abilities to gauge their loyalty to Johnny.

She found that the Azazel's loyalty was evident; his awe of Johnny was unmistakable. The White Queen, however, was more guarded. Medusa could sense a complex mix of emotions in her—respect, wariness, and a hint of ambition.

"Emma, Azazel," Johnny addressed them, his tone firm. "You now fall under Medusa's command. Follow her orders as you would mine."

Both nodded, acknowledging their new chain of command. The White Queen's eyes flickered with a subtle acknowledgment of Medusa's authority, while the Azazel's posture relaxed slightly, indicating his acceptance.

"Medusa, ensure the Hellfire Club operates efficiently. Use their resources to further our plans. We have much to accomplish," Johnny continued, his voice steady and authoritative.

"Of course, Master," Medusa replied, a determined glint in her eyes. She was ready to take on this new responsibility, knowing that success would bring them closer to their ultimate goals.

With the new chain of command established, Johnny's gaze hardened with resolve. The future held many challenges, but with his newly acquired allies and Medusa's unwavering loyalty, he felt confident in their impending success.

When Medusa's eyes fell on the White Queen Emma Frost, a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

"A mutant who is skilled in psychic abilities?" Medusa couldn't help but remark, astonished.

After arriving on Earth, she had encountered two mutants with impressive psychic abilities in a short time. One was the future leader of mutants, and the other was the White Queen standing before her.

Johnny smiled slightly, showing little concern. After giving a simple command, he handed the White Queen and the Azazel over to Medusa.

With this, Johnny was completely free. Returning to the villa where he resided, he prepared to retreat for a period to familiarize himself with his new abilities.

However, while Johnny was in retreat, ignoring the outside world, the global turmoil caused by Shaw was far from over. The most directly affected were the United States and the Soviet Union, the key players in the recent crisis.

The missile crisis had ended abruptly due to the dramatic battle between Johnny and Shaw, prompting both sides to withdraw their forces decisively. The situation involving Johnny and the X-Men was quickly reported to the highest echelons of power.

The U.S. Congress convened an emergency meeting, attended by influential figures capable of making the ground tremble with a mere stomp of their feet.

"...These are all the details we have gathered so far. It involves a mid-level CIA agent named Moira. The powerful individual referred to as Johnny, according to Moira's information, has close ties with Charles Francis Xavier and others who identify as X-Men. Additionally, our joint investigation reveals that Johnny is actually the head of Morgan Biotechnology Company in New York."

"A plethora of evidence indicates that there are many genetic mutants among humans with various extraordinary abilities. This is a pressing issue we need to address," the top CIA official reported, following the president's signal.

The revelations stunned everyone, leading to a flurry of whispers and discussions among the high-ranking officials.

Ordinarily, when a powerful entity emerged, the standard response of these officials would be to either recruit it or invest significant resources to neutralize the "threat" and then conduct secret research.

But this time, Johnny's display of power in front of the US and Soviet fleets was too overwhelming, leaving the officials feeling utterly powerless.

Shaw, who had casually created a hundred-meter-high frozen pillar and absorbed a nuclear reactor, had been defeated like a toy. The thought of dealing with such a formidable being was daunting for everyone present.

"Mr. President, based on our intelligence, Johnny played a crucial role in averting a war between us and the Soviet Union by neutralizing the conspirators behind the scenes. He doesn't seem hostile to our country. We should consider recruiting him. If recruitment fails, it's imperative that he doesn't become hostile towards us," one advisor concluded after a thorough discussion.

"Agreed. We'll proceed through Morgan Biotechnology, with whom we have a longstanding partnership. We must ensure there's no dissatisfaction on his part," the president decided.

Meanwhile, the Soviet Union's approach was starkly different. Viewing Johnny as an American, they considered him an enemy and a significant threat that needed elimination to avoid a potential nuclear conflict. "Given his connection with Morgan Biotechnology and its ties to the US military, we must classify him as a US government asset," a Soviet official declared.

"We need to handle this threat with caution. It's best left to the KGB's 'Red House', known for their high success rates," another official suggested. Consequently, an order was dispatched to the 'Red House', the United Nations' most formidable agent training institution.

"Natasha Romanov is our top agent. She's fluent in multiple languages and excels in intelligence gathering, espionage, and assassination under extreme conditions. She has unmatched combat skills and resilience. Her body transformation is complete, though she hasn't yet undergone the final 'baptism'," the Red House's head briefed, activating Natasha's file.

The last page of Natasha's dossier was concise: Since her training, she had completed 86 B-level missions, 43 A-level missions, and 9 S-level missions, all with a 100% success rate.

"This mission is classified as super S-level. The target is exceptionally challenging. Natasha, you must be fully prepared. Success is the only option," the head emphasized.

In a dark room within the secret base of the Red House, Natasha Romanov, the voluptuous and formidable Black Widow, received the mission details with an indifferent expression. After a quick review, a flicker of determination crossed her eyes. Nodding slightly, she put away the information and left to prepare for her mission.
