Under the invisible pressure from Wang Ye’s presence, the business deal was settled quickly, and the acquisition price was even ten thousand US dollars less than initially negotiated.

The fat woman handed the keys to Terry and left the area as if fleeing.

Terry waited until his subordinates and Wang Ye left the bar, then locked the bar door with the keys.

As they headed toward the territory,

suddenly, at the corner of the block, they encountered a man wearing the same mask as Wang Ye.

This man wore a mask symbolizing Rein and was dressed in the same pitch-black attire.

But the biggest difference from Rein,

was this man’s figure, which was very short,

completely lacking Rein’s imposing presence.

It was like cosplaying Rein.

Upon seeing Terry, the fake Rein visibly froze, the eyes beneath the mask showing terror.

Clearly, he recognized Terry as a core member of the Sloos Gang.

"What is this...?" Wang Ye couldn’t help but frown.

"This is just a mimicry," Terry chuckled. "Your fame has been rising recently, and many people in Utah dress like you to avoid being bullied." He asked, "Do you need me to have my men rough him up?"

"A mimicry..."

Wang Ye lowered his head in thought for a moment, then an idea came to him.

He immediately gestured for Terry to stop, a playful gleam in his eyes.

Given that many are imitating his outfit now,

perhaps he could take advantage of this and keep a replica of himself here in Utah.

According to his original plan, he would return home in a few days, and the Sloos Gang leader "Rein" would vanish. If someone noticed this, they might suspect him of being Rein and investigate him, causing trouble.

But if Wang Ye could, before leaving, use his Mind Control to create another Rein,

he might be able to alleviate this trouble.

The issue now was that with Wang Ye’s current build and charisma, finding a suitable replica might be difficult.

Thankfully, Wang Ye possessed Assimilation Ability. If he couldn’t find someone with similar physique, he would create someone with a similar physique.

To be safe,

this "Rein" needed to fully mimic Wang Ye’s demeanor, voice, even strength and speed. Therefore, Wang Ye needed to find a "Rein" with a similar physique and infuse the "Rein" with a large amount of energy, allowing "Rein" to gradually align closer to Wang Ye.

With this thought, Wang Ye slowly reached out and removed the mask from the fake Rein.

Instantly, the fake Rein’s face was exposed, revealing a white man with a gaunt face, blue eyes, almost no facial hair, and roughly similar bone structure to Wang Ye.

Though there were differences in detail, generally it was quite acceptable.

After all, Asian and Caucasian living conditions differ, reflected in distinct body structures,

thus, most Caucasian bone structures vary greatly from Wang Ye’s.

If there is any similarity, it’s already quite rare.

If Wang Ye uses Assimilation, he should be able to transform him to resemble Wang Ye.

Wang Ye immediately instructed Terry to bring him back to the territory, imprison him in the solitary room,

while he went to soak in a five-ton sulfuric acid bath.

··························

After the sulfuric acid bath, two to three hours had passed.

By this time, it was nearing dusk.

Night was gradually enveloping Utah.

Wang Ye washed off the remnants of sulfuric acid, got dressed,

then proceeded to the solitary room and used Mind Control on the fake Rein.

The fake Rein’s eyes instantly transformed from terror to dullness, his struggling limbs stiffened, and he seemed to become like a puppet.

After taking control of the other’s mind, Wang Ye swiftly began to infuse energy into him, attempting to use Assimilation Ability to make him physically resemble himself more.

The moment his energy penetrated into the fake Rein, it was like Qi entering a balloon, instantly swelling the opponent’s physique, with immediate effect.

Meanwhile, Wang Ye appeared slightly pale,

because infusing energy would drain his stamina.

Actually, infusing energy only costs him a portion of his energy, and this energy can be restored. He only needs to evolve for a day to recover.

So Wang Ye doesn’t need to worry about energy infusion leading to regression in his strength.

He continuously infused more energy into the fake Rein.

Soon.

The fake Rein’s physique rapidly swelled, his bones emitted cracking sounds like frying beans, his height swiftly rose from 170 cm to 180 cm, and then to 190 cm, while the muscle mass covering his bones increased steadily until he became a robust man with a well-proportioned physique.

Seeing him gives the feeling of weak knees, as if facing a fierce tiger.

Wang Ye looked at the fake Rein’s physique and nodded in satisfaction, 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

this way, the fake Rein’s physique is almost similar to Rein. Though there are some proportional differences, they wouldn’t be noticeable unless compared one-to-one with a photo.

But there is still a problem now,

the fake Rein’s eye color is blue,

while Wang Ye’s eye color is pitch black.

Actually, many Asian people with black hair and yellow skin have eye colors that aren’t completely pitch black, but brown, although they appear black from a distance. Eye color, or the color of the iris, is determined by the amount of melanin located in the front stroma layer of the iris. The higher the melanin content, the deeper the iris color, and vice versa the lighter the color. Typically, melanin content corresponds to skin color and is related to racial genetics.

The biggest difference between brown and blue irises is actually the depth of melanin.

After half a year of evolution, Wang Ye can now easily switch his eye color among brown, blue, and pitch black, and he can even transform it into any color of the spectrum, as long as he controls the fusion of pigments in his iris. Given his current brain development level, he can fully accomplish this.

When appearing as Wang Ye, he normally uses dark blue eye color because he subconsciously shifted into this hue during evolution, and has used it ever since to present himself. When using the Rein identity, Wang Ye utilizes the pitch black eye color because it naturally gives an imposing feel. This eye color has the highest concentration of black melanin, offering a mysterious and profound aura.

To transform the person in front of him into Rein’s likeness, Wang Ye needed to change his eye color to pitch black,

After a brief thought, Wang Ye used his possession ability on him.

Instantly, his consciousness arrived within the body of the fake Rein.

He immediately utilized his highly developed brain to control the pigments inside the fake Rein’s body.

Gradually, the fake Rein’s iris became layered with pitch black. The previously crystal-clear eyeballs transformed into a deep abyss.

After altering the eye color, the preliminary transformation of the fake Rein’s appearance was complete. As for the subsequent modifications, they were delayed to be slowly completed in the coming days.

For today, Wang Ye was already exhausted. The morning challenge, midday speed limits breakthrough, and afternoon sulfuric acid bath had severely depleted his energy. Afterward, he infused massive energy into the fake Rein, leaving him with almost no stamina left. He needs to go back and rest for a while.
