American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

"Secondly, I never said anything bad about you. What I said was all true, wasn't it..."

"Only people with low self-esteem would try to bully the 'weak' to assert their own sense of self-worth..."

"They'll only realize how ridiculous everything they did was when they get older..."

Mark, with the soul of a middle-aged man, can spout a whole bunch of profound truths.

His verbal attacks are almost maxed out.

Using this ability to deal with simple-minded bad students is like a game-changer.

For example, right now, the students who gathered at the school entrance to watch the excitement applauded Mark's "passionate" speech.

Before Mark could gloat for long, the enraged bad student opposite him took action and forcefully pushed him against the cabinet door.

"Alex is trash. The fact that you can be friends with him proves that you're trash too!" The bad student revealed a fierce expression.

It turns out that bad students become bullies precisely because they are unreasonable.

Such people are often physically strong but mentally weak, and they only care about their own preferences and never use their brains.

Of course, if this continues, people like them will eventually suffer the consequences.

However, in the relatively simple environment of a school campus, such people are actually very popular.

“Force can’t solve everything! Your actions constitute a personal attack. If you continue, I will tell the teacher…” Mark, who had been pushed and staggered, was still trying to reason with the other person even at this point.

He didn't notice that Alex, who was watching him, had dimmed his eyes.

"Tell the teacher??" The "school bully" on the other side seemed to have heard a joke, exaggeratedly making an ear-picking motion, and said sarcastically, "You shouldn't be at school now, you should be going to find your mom to eat **."

The standard American joke also earned a burst of laughter from the bad students.

On the other hand, Mark, with the soul of a middle-aged man, may be very good at reasoning with people. But driven by maturity, he lacks the passion that young people should have.

It's now quite clear that throwing a punch is Mark's best option.

However, having become accustomed to the way adults handle things, he clearly couldn't do it.

Meanwhile, Mike, who was standing in front of his locker, also saw Mark being bullied not far away.

The other party must have taken Mike's advice and become friends with Alex, the bullied victim.

However, the other party's current situation seems to be a bit unfavorable.

“That guy’s name is Mickey Parrish, he’s a bench player on the school football team, and he has a really bad temper…” Peggy saw Mike and, seeing what was happening nearby, began to explain the bully’s identity to him.

"This school really has all sorts of people!" Mike exclaimed after hearing the whole story.

Before attending Columbia University, Mike had a certain idealism about it. But after arriving at the school, he realized that this prestigious university wasn't as wonderful as he had imagined.

There is no such thing as absolute fairness in the world.

Mark, who was being bullied, had some connection with Mike, so he didn't intend to stand idly by.

A short while later, Mike led Peggy and Nydia to the scene of the incident.

Meanwhile, many female students who were secretly watching Mike at the school entrance also became excited.

For them, a super handsome and mysterious male classmate like Mike is very attractive.

"Mark, you seem to be in trouble." Following the path cleared by the female students, Mike easily entered the inner circle.

"It's you?" Mark, who was being bullied, recognized Mike.

Then, he stubbornly said, "It's just a small problem, I can solve it quickly."

Mark has never forgotten that it was Mike's good looks that turned his well-behaved and sensible daughter into a "lovestruck fangirl".

Although this matter had little to do with Mike subjectively, as the father whose daughter had been "taken advantage of," Mark still didn't want the other party to see his pathetic state.

This was probably the last act of stubbornness from an old father.

"Are you friends with them too?" The bad student Mickey suddenly turned his attention to the handsome Mike, staring fiercely at him.

Bullying a "good-for-nothing" is nowhere near as satisfying as bullying a "handsome guy."

You should know that there are quite a few beautiful women among the crowd gathered around to watch the spectacle.

A large portion of them came because of Mike.

Mickey clearly noticed this as well.

Therefore, out of some kind of "perverted" psychology, he wanted to bully the more popular Mike.

“I don’t know Alex, but I do know this Mark, to some extent.” Contrary to what the bully thought, Mike was not intimidated by his intimidating aura.

On the contrary, his calm and composed demeanor made the girls around him light up.

"Damn pretty boy, you don't seem like a good person at all!" The bad student Mickey suddenly launched a personal attack on Mike.

The thought process of this kind of person can be quite unpredictable at times.

Perhaps only Mickey himself knows that he initially bullied Alex because of his good looks.

And the reason for bullying Mark just now was pretty much the same.

Now, an even more handsome person has appeared, and Mickey certainly can't stand it.

If Mike knew this ridiculous reason, he might choose to go easy on the other person when he "takes action" later.

After all, it's wrong to "bully" a fool.

Chapter 365 Social Death

"Regardless of whether you're friends with them or not, the moment you stood up, we became enemies?"

Mickey ignored Mike's explanation. He jumped a few times, flexed his arms, and struck a boxing pose, excitedly provoking, "I've given you your chance! Come on~"

He defeated the "pretty boy" to demonstrate his strength and won the hearts of the school girls.

This is probably what the simple-minded Mickey wants to do most right now.

However, the script did not unfold as he had written.

Mike wasn't angered by his words. Instead, he smiled as if he were looking at a clown and asked, "Mickey, right? Tell me, why are you bullying Alex?"

At the same time, Mike used the [Power of Truth] that he had recently acquired.

"No reason why?" Mickey, oblivious to the seriousness of the problem, arrogantly declared, "Why am I so strong yet not a starter on the team, and why do the girls look down on me..."

"And Alex, that good-for-nothing, not only excels academically, but he also has girls who like him!"

Alex has a gentle and mild temperament, making him seem like a pushover, yet he has a delicate and pretty face.

While this image may not be the first choice for most girls, it still has a certain market appeal among some female groups.

This is exactly what angered Mickey, who was unhappy with his "life".

However, Mickey's reason for bullying his classmates was really not respectable.

At this moment, facing the boos from the girls around him, his expression was no longer as natural as before.

"Oh, I see~" Mike feigned sudden realization, still smiling, and continued, "It seems you have quite a few secrets. With so many people here, could you share some with us?"

[Power of Truth] is activated again.

"I...I'm nine..." Mickey realized he was about to blurt out the truth and quickly covered his mouth with his hand.

Looking at Mike again, all that remained in her eyes was terror.

"Nine what? Tell us, let everyone hear it." Having no sympathy for the domineering Mike, he chose to add fuel to the fire.

"I snatched a lollipop from a little girl when I was nine, and I beat up an old woman when I was thirteen..." Covering his mouth was useless to Mickey, and he continued with a contorted face, "I participated in a zero-dollar shopping event when I was fifteen..."

In the end, Mickey, who was clearly beyond hope, was surrounded by a five-meter "vacuum zone".

It is foreseeable that he will become a "legend" on campus after this incident.

I probably won't have time to bully my classmates anymore.

Mark, who possesses the soul of a middle-aged man, is probably the only one among the many students watching who knows the extent of the psychological trauma this event will cause Mickey.

However, a bad student like Mickey who bullied his own son doesn't deserve Mark's sympathy.

On the contrary, Mark felt inexplicably pleased to see the other party's "miserable" appearance.

When Mark turned around again, he found that the person who had caused all of this had already left the scene with the two girls.

"Wait, Mike!" Leaving Alex, who was still watching the commotion, Mark caught up with Mike and his two companions at the corner of the campus.

"What?" Mike asked with a smile, "Did you come here specifically to thank me?"

What Mike didn't expect was that his gentle expression seemed to Mark like he was seeing the devil.

After all, Mike had the same expression when he "pranked" Mickey before.

“I…” Mark paused cautiously for a moment, then said, “Thanks this time, consider it a favor I owe you. If you ever need any help in the future, just let me know.”

To be honest, Mark actually had a good impression of Mike. Of course, that was on the condition that his daughter Maggie wasn't involved.

Maggie, a die-hard member of the "looks-matter" club, is now completely obsessed with the incredibly handsome Mike.

As far as Mark knows, his daughter Maggie is now only thinking about how to give herself to Mike for free.

They might even have already thought of names for their child.

Mike, unaware of Mark's complex feelings, casually replied to the thanks, "I appreciate your thanks. If there's nothing else, see you next time."

To be honest, if the person being bullied wasn't someone he knew, Mike would most likely not have bothered to get involved.

Therefore, Mark really needs to thank him properly.

"Wait, there's one more thing I need to ask you." Before Mike left, Mark said awkwardly, "If Maggie comes to see you, please be nice to her."

Just as Mark finished worrying about the timid Alex, he was now concerned about his infatuated daughter, Maggie.

It's fair to say that Mark, this father, has gone to great lengths for his two children.

Now, he has come to terms with his daughter's situation. Instead of worrying about her "infatuation" problem, he might as well let her give it a try.

Besides, having such an excellent "son-in-law" as Mike would actually be quite nice.

Of course, as a mature adult, Mark also knew in his heart that Mike might not necessarily like his daughter.

But he still sincerely hopes that his daughter will be treated gently in the process of pursuing her own happiness in life.

“Maggie?” Mike remembered the pretty girl who liked to peek at him.

Then, he looked at Mark with a strange expression and said, "I'll try my best."

Others may not know, but Mike, who possesses many amazing abilities, already knew Mark's true identity.

This naturally includes the fact that Maggie is the other party's child.

……

Next, Mike began his day on campus.

On that same day, Mickey's "self-destruction" in the morning quickly spread throughout Columbia University.

Then, unable to bear the blow, the unfortunate child made up an excuse and asked the school for a month of "sick" leave.

I want time to heal everything.

However, he didn't understand that some things only become more and more fantastical as they are told.

For example, after hearing about Mickey's outrageous behavior, the college football coach immediately and unilaterally expelled him from the team.

It's easy to imagine that things will only get worse when Mickey comes back to school.

After finishing his day of studying, Mike was getting ready to drive back to the villa when he saw the beautifully dressed Caroline again in the parking lot.

Compared to Caroline, who had come specifically to "bump into" her on previous occasions, her expression was much more serious today.

"Mike, we need to talk." This young lady came in with a rather aggressive air.

"There are no outsiders here, so say whatever you want!" Mike, who didn't think he was that familiar with Caroline, didn't give her a very friendly look.

Caroline glanced at Peggy and Nydy beside Mike, her anger tinged with resentment, before finally blurting out, "As the only daughter of the Channing family, and so beautiful, why did you choose those bitches instead of me?"

Seeing the girl's strange behavior, Mike frowned, and then decisively activated his [Eavesdropping on Women's Thoughts] ability.

The reason why Miss Caroline lost her composure was that Lisa, the Columbia University beauty queen, had been promoting herself as Mike's girlfriend on campus for the past few days.

This naturally made Caroline, who had chosen Mike as her target, very unhappy.
