American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

But now there's someone who's even more upset than her.

Mike had already warned Lisa that the two were simply getting what they wanted from each other.

Who knew this woman was not only cunning but also quite shrewd, hoping to use some underhanded tactics to "officially" herself.

However, Lisa didn't know that in Mike's eyes, her actions were nothing short of being presumptuous.

Chapter 366 New Mission

"Hi Mike. I heard you came to school today."

Just as Caroline was waiting for Mike's answer, Lisa, the school beauty dressed in a fresh and elegant style with a proper smile on her face, also arrived at the parking lot.

As soon as the girl arrived, she walked towards Mike as if they were old friends, and when she passed by Miss Channing, she didn't forget to give her a provocative look.

"Wow, is this your new car? It looks great. Can I sit in it and try it out?" At the same time, Lisa also noticed the luxury car behind Mike.

Already possessing exceptional good looks, and now with considerable wealth, Mike is undoubtedly the most outstanding man of Lisa's age that she has ever met.

Of course, exceptionally high attractiveness plays a major role, after all, humans are visual creatures.

This is why Lisa was in such a hurry to spread the news and wanted to quickly confirm her relationship with Mike.

"Sorry, there's no seat for you on this bus." Mike shook his head slightly, avoiding the girl's attempt to hug his arm.

With the ability to "eavesdrop on women's thoughts," he heard many unpleasant things in the girls' minds: competitiveness, vanity, and women's scheming and infighting.

The only thing missing is probably "sincerity".

Just then, Nidi, who had long been annoyed by Lisa's bitchy behavior, stepped forward expressionlessly and blocked Mike's path, separating the girl who came up to "harass" him.

The situation suddenly became clear:

Aside from Caroline, who was "watching the show" from the sidelines, Lisa instantly became an "outsider" among the group of people present.

Still wanting to struggle a little longer, she immediately put on a "wronged" expression and looked pitifully at Mike.

The intention is to use this posture to evoke a man's protective instincts.

It has to be said that Lisa must have a lot to offer to become Columbia University's most beautiful girl so quickly after the start of the new academic year.

Unfortunately, the girl encountered Mike this time, and Mike at that, a Mike with the ability to "eavesdrop on women's thoughts".

All her little schemes were laid bare in Mike's eyes.

"Alright then, please let me know whenever your car has a spot available..."

Despite Mike's indifferent attitude, Lisa still had no intention of giving up on him immediately, considering him a rare and valuable asset.

Before leaving, she tempted them with something in a language they could understand: "I have a lot of driving experience~"

……

"Is there anything else?" After watching Lisa leave, Mike turned to look at Miss Qianning, who was standing to the side.

"Uh, no..." After watching a wonderful performance, Caroline suddenly smiled sweetly and made an impromptu invitation: "I'm thinking of hosting a private party this weekend. I wonder if you're free?"

Caroline, who grew up in an ivory tower, was very well protected by her father. Lacking social skills, she wore her heart on her sleeve.

Mike had no doubt that the "private" party the girl mentioned would likely end up with only two people.

The truth is, this is yet another girl who lusts after her own body.

Compared to Lisa, Caroline was simpler in mind and had no ill intentions.

"We'll see!" Mike replied. "If I'm free that day, I'll let you know in advance."

With the ability to "eavesdrop on women's thoughts," Mike has no need to worry about being tricked by women.

The main focus is on finding a good girl you won't miss.

“OK, it’s settled then~” Caroline was still very happy despite the man’s slightly perfunctory attitude.

After all, happiness is always relative...

……

After spending two more days at school, during the lunch break on Thursday, Mike received a mission call from the Men in Black headquarters.

According to Mr. Z, a "dangerous" green-faced thief has recently appeared near Broadway.

This person possesses a bizarre ability to transform and is immune to weapons; their behavior is also unusually strange.

This strange man, upon his first appearance, took down the thugs in the Broadway neighborhood, looking like a "superhero."

Nothing has happened yet here.

But then, this man turned around and used his superpowers to rob a bank in the Broadway district, making his identity as a "master thief" cleared out.

The main selling point is the contrast!

"Based on FBL's initial deductions, the identity of that 'green-faced thief' is very likely Stanley, a junior employee at Broadway Bank..."

After introducing the basic information about the "master thief," Mr. Z got to the point: "Based on this person's transformation ability, the Men in Black headquarters speculate that he may have obtained the mask of Loki, the god of mischief..."

"If that's true, your mission this time is to retrieve that mask."

According to existing historical records, Loki, the god of mischief, is also known as the god of pranks. His greatest ability is to manipulate people's minds and amplify their desires, including the desire to kill.

So far, there have been no reports of the Green-Faced Thief harming anyone, but if his abilities are indeed provided by the Loki Mask...

Sooner or later, because of this mask, he will become a monster who only knows how to kill.

This is also what the Men in Black headquarters is most worried about.

“Listen, Agent M, the Loki mask also has the power to bewitch people. It makes those who obtain it unconsciously wear the mask on their faces…”

Because it involved an evil god, Mr. Z made sure to remind everyone before ending the call: "So please be extremely careful on this mission. If necessary, you can seek help from headquarters or Father James at the church."

Here we should mention the difference between the God system and the Zeus system of gods.

The church believes that God, as the supreme deity, is real and therefore needs to be revered and prayed for.

The Zeus pantheon, including the evil god Loki, consists of fictional mythological figures and therefore do not require reverence.

In this situation, it is appropriate for clergy to deal with troubles caused by mythological figures.

"Thank you for your concern, I will be careful~" Mike accepted the other party's kindness.

Meanwhile, based on Mr. Z's description, Mike had a rough idea of ​​what the "Green-Faced Thief" was all about.

It must be said that although Stanley was a nobody with an unsatisfactory life, his heart was more "noble" than many others.

Despite suddenly gaining superpowers and being misled by the Loki mask, the worst thing he did was take some US dollars.

If things go as expected, Stanley's motivation for robbing the bank was that another group of people were robbing a bank at the time.

Stanley, in a way, temporarily protected the US dollars for the bank.

……

After initially determining that Stanley posed little threat, Mike took advantage of the afternoon after-school break to first drop Peggy and Collins off at the villa before taking Nydy to the neighboring Broadway neighborhood.

When Mike and his companion arrived at Stanley's rented house, a bunch of FBL agents' cars were already parked in front of the apartment building.

Clearly, the robbery of Broadway Bank has attracted the attention of relevant government departments.

"Who's in charge here?" To avoid trouble, Mike directly showed his FBL badge.

“Hello, Captain,” a middle-aged man with a detective’s badge on his clothes stepped forward and said, “I am Lieutenant Peter Kellaway, and I am leading the team this time.”

The FBL badge that the Men in Black gave Mike did not have a specific job title on it; it was more like a special badge that ranked one level higher than an official's.

This applies to all levels below **.

Therefore, even though Mike looks young, in Detective Peter's eyes, he is definitely a "big shot".

"Hello, Detective Chief. May I ask what mission you are carrying out this time?" Mike asked.

On the other side, Peter explained the situation to Mike in detail.

It turns out that bank surveillance footage showed that on the day the bank was robbed, a fierce fight broke out between the "Green-Faced Thief" and another group of robbers.

The Green-Faced Thief is the one being attacked.

Of course, none of that matters. What matters is that during the fierce battle, the Green-Faced Bandit's tie was broken in half and left at the crime scene.

FBL followed this lead and approached Stanley.

Chapter 367 The Mask

Stanley mistakenly thought someone had fallen into the water and went into the river to "rescue" them, but accidentally found Loki's prank mask.

However, he didn't know that this magical mask would "come alive" at night.

At this moment, he, who had taken a nap, thought that the lesson he taught the thugs last night and the "robbery" of the bank were just a dream.

As mentioned earlier, this mask has a seductive power. It allows Stanley, who is usually timid and agreeable, to unleash his suppressed personality and become incredibly arrogant after wearing it.

'What a wonderful dream!'

Stanley, who had just woken up, smiled unconsciously as he thought about the exhilarating scene in his "dream" last night.

Then, he curiously stroked the strange mask next to his pillow, the one he had brought back as a souvenir.

When a person's nerves are suppressed for too long without release, negative emotions will accumulate. Over time, these taut nerves will eventually break down.

For Stanley, this mask was like a way to fully "release" the negative emotions he had accumulated in real life in his "dream".

However, when Stanley, in a good mood, opened his wardrobe to change, a huge amount of US dollars spilled out of the closet.

The cash, nearly a small fortune, almost short-circuited Stanley's brain.

Then he realized that everything that happened last night didn't seem to be a dream.

"Thump thump... thump..."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Feeling guilty, Stanley quickly rummaged through the loose dollars on the floor and put them into the closet, then carefully closed the door.

Still feeling unsure, he hid the magical mask under his pillow.

After doing all this, he forced himself to remain calm and went behind the door, asking, "Who is it?"

“Detective FBL, we suspect you are involved in a bank robbery. Please open the door for inspection.” Detective Peter’s voice came from outside the door.

"I...I don't know anything about a robbery!!" Stanley's legs went weak with fear when he heard the detectives arrive at his door.

Knowing he couldn't avoid it, he still reluctantly opened the door.

"Excuse me, do you recognize this half of a tie?" Detective Peter asked in a businesslike manner.

The half-tied, gaudy tie he was carrying as "evidence" was a decorative tie that was popular on special suits in the 1940s.

"Zhutezhuang" specifically refers to brightly colored high-waisted trousers, narrow leg openings, large lapels, thick padding, and long tops with broad shoulders.

People who own clothes that are perfect for performing on stage are often secretly passionate.

“This…” Stanley’s palms were sweating nervously as he looked at the familiar half of a tie in the detective’s hand.

Suddenly, he had a brilliant idea and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Oh, great! Have you found the person who stole my clothes? I just lost a suit last night!"

Stanley may not have realized that when he lies, his eyes unconsciously dart to the right, and he makes constant little movements.

"So you admit that this half of the tie is yours." The experienced Detective Peter wasn't fooled by Stanley. He said seriously, "Sorry, but to clear your name, we need to search your room!"

Loki's Mischief Mask possesses powerful magic at night, but this ability is minimized during the day.

Therefore, it cannot help Stanley solve his current predicament at this time.

Led by Peter, a group of detectives forced their way into Stanley's small room.

A typical single man's room: small space, cluttered with belongings everywhere.

Mike, who was following behind, had been watching Stanley ever since the door opened. But after all this time, no special energy orb had appeared on Stanley.

This suggests that the "magic" belongs to the mask, not to the person who obtains it.

Immediately after entering the room with the detectives, Mike followed his intuition and went to the single bed by the window.

Meanwhile, the detectives led by Peter walked toward the most conspicuous wardrobe in the room.

With the "secret" about to be revealed, Stanley looked around nervously, on the verge of collapse.
