American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

Then, pressed against the wall, he cautiously peered outside, then broke into an exaggerated smile and shouted, "Hooray! Mr. Stanley has won the championship!!!"

But before he could gloat for long, Mike's voice suddenly rang in his ears: "Are you looking for me?"

On the other side of the wall, Mike stood in the shadows with his arms crossed.

"**Ah~"

Amidst gasps of alarm, Stanley, dragging his red cape, turned and ran.

Of the two people with the same abilities, Mike has a stronger physique and also possesses the abnormal "bullet time" ability.

In this situation, he quickly caught up with the panicked Stanley again.

His relaxed demeanor clearly indicated that he still had energy to spare.

On the other side, Stanley, who had exhausted all his strength, finally gave up the idea of ​​escaping.

"You forced me to do this!!!" Stanley, who was forced to stop in an open space, conjured up a pair of boxing gloves for himself.

Then, a boxing ring rose up around him, enclosing both him and Mike inside.

"Come on~" Stanley pounded his boxing gloves twice with both hands, then jumped up and threw a swinging punch.

The Loki mask amplifies negative emotions in people's hearts, which makes Stanley seem a little crazy now.

But when he came up to Mike and tentatively threw a punch, he saw that his opponent had produced an alloy shield, and then an exaggerated hammer.

You cheated!

These were Stanley's last thoughts before he was knocked unconscious by the hammer.

A few minutes later, Mike took Stanley, who had lost his mask powers, back to his apartment.

"Have a sweet dream~"

Before leaving, Mike didn't forget to help Stanley take the $100 million "dirty money" he had stolen with him.

[The Power of Transformation] The rice in the next wardrobe is turned into a "check" of the same value.

……

Afterwards, Mike, lightly equipped, went outside and got himself a flight device to experience the fun of flying.

When he returned to the Coco Bongo bar, the gang leader Dorian and his gang members had already been taken away by detectives in a police car.

In the huge bar, besides Nidi, John, and Detective Peter and Tina, only other people remained.

“Captain, you’ve come at the right time. This lady says she’s your friend, what do you think?” Detective Peter immediately greeted Mike upon his return.

Although he caught the gang members who robbed the bank tonight, the huge sum of US dollars that the bank lost was still not recovered.

Therefore, the detective chief simply doesn't have time to get entangled with Tina, this woman who is suspected of being Dorian's accomplice.

But this woman insisted that she was Mike's friend.

Inside the bar, Mike, sensing Tina's pleading expression and her "hidden thoughts," said to Detective Peter, "I can vouch for her; she and Dorian are definitely not on the same side."

"That's good, I'll leave her to you." Detective Peter, eager to deal with Tina's troubles, hurriedly left the bar after completing the handover.

The three-day deadline for closing the case is approaching, and Peter doesn't have time to waste here.

However, his "journey" to find the bank's lost cash was destined to be futile.

Of course, Detective Peter, who caught Dorian and his criminals, should be able to get away with it even if he doesn't recover the US dollars.

After all, the detectives' emergency mission to capture the "culprit" was already a considerable achievement.

At the bar, Mike, who had just made a windfall, generously gave John and the others a "payment" before sending them home.

"Tell me, how do you plan to resolve your situation?" Mike asked when Tina, the only outsider, was left.

Through the woman's words, Mike could confirm that she had no ill intentions towards him.

But one thing at a time, the mistakes the other party made in the past cannot be so easily forgotten.

Chapter 371 New Members

Tina seemed to know what Mike wanted to ask, and quickly explained, "Although I did help Dorian and his gang before, it was all out of necessity. I assure you, I have never done anything immoral..."

Next, to make her story more convincing, Tina briefly recounted her own experiences.

It turns out that when this woman was in high school, her parents died in an accident, leaving her and her two younger siblings behind.

From then on, Tina, who was forced to take on the responsibility of supporting her family, had no choice but to drop out of school and go out to earn money for her younger siblings.

The reason she helped Dorian carry out the bank robbery was because her younger siblings were both entering high school this year and needed to pay a large sum of tuition fees.

Having no money, she had no choice but to borrow money from local gangsters at exorbitant interest rates.

As interest compounded, Tina, unable to repay her debts, had no choice but to work for the gang to pay them off.

This is also why she and Dorian were previously only superficially compatible.

"The story is interesting, and then what?" Mike, after listening to the woman's story, did not feel any surge of sympathy.

To his surprise, what the woman said was actually true.

However, there are so many pitiful people, which is not a reason for the other party to do "bad things".

"So what else do you want? Are you going to arrest me?" Seeing Mike's cold and unapproachable demeanor, Tina decided to go all out.

At the same time, the woman's previous affection for Mike was also rapidly declining.

"How about this, join us, and we'll wipe the slate clean of what happened before..." Mike's expression softened as he revealed his true intentions.

This woman's life experiences have given her a knack for understanding people's hearts, making her perfect for assisting in intelligence gathering.

Moreover, her previous plan to use external forces to deal with Dorian was very clever.

Although the plan was not very successful in the end, Mike was certain that with this woman's intelligence, she would definitely not be a hindrance after joining his X Team.

“No problem, I can join you right now.” Tina quickly agreed after hearing Mike’s suggestion.

The eager look on his face suggested that he was afraid the other person would regret it if he delayed even a second.

"Don't rush into a decision. I can't guarantee your safety after you join Team X..." Mike then briefly explained the nature of his team to the woman.

Team X deals with extraordinary events, and the dangers they pose to ordinary people are self-evident.

"I'm sure, I want to join you~" After listening to the explanation, Tina still made the same choice.

Perhaps it was a woman's intuition, but this woman had an inexplicable trust in Mike.

“Great, congratulations on becoming the sixth member of the team!” Mike smiled and said, “Next, let me tell you about the benefits of joining Special Team X…”

"The basic salary is 10,000 yuan per month, and there will be bonuses for each special task completed based on the contribution of the task."

As a newcomer to the team, Tina received similar treatment to Wesley.

"Ten thousand US dollars? And a bonus! Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?" With the average salary only two or three thousand, Tina was a little surprised by Mike's "generosity".

Having worked in society for several years and raised her younger siblings, she knew all too well how hard it was to earn money.

Ten thousand US dollars a month is enough for Tina to solve her family's financial difficulties.

At this moment, the woman was already glad she had made that choice.

“That’s the situation,” Mike replied affirmatively, and then continued, “You can go now. I’ll let you know when there’s a mission.”

Having confirmed that she wasn't dreaming, Tina felt a pang of reluctance when it was time to part ways.

The good job, coupled with the previous "life-saving grace," had made the woman's feelings for Mike overflow.

Studies have shown that when people encounter danger, they are more likely to develop feelings for the opposite sex around them.

It's somewhat similar to the "suspension bridge effect".

Tina's situation was very similar to this one, not to mention that Mike is so handsome.

By any measure, she doesn't seem to be losing out.

"Um, my house is pretty close by, wanna grab a coffee?" With a mix of factors making her head spin, Tina hastily extended the invitation.

It's almost midnight!

When a woman invites a man to her home, it's quite ambiguous.

"Coffee? Sure~" With such a beautiful woman offering herself up, Mike had no reason to refuse.

……

"This is where I live. The environment might be a bit poor..." Tina looked a little uneasy as she got out of her Tesla luxury car and arrived in front of her ordinary apartment building.

Only then did she realize that her previous invitation might have been a bit hasty.

"It's a very cozy house; you can tell the designer put a lot of thought into it." Looking at the charming little house full of life, Mike didn't hold back his praise.

To be honest, Tina's house is no worse than Connie's grandma's apartment building.

What's more, this is the Big Apple.

From a certain perspective, if Tina didn't have younger siblings to support, she would definitely be a "little rich girl".

“Right? This house was designed and built by my father himself. It really took a lot of effort…” Tina’s face lit up with a bright smile upon hearing the praise.

Then, he proudly introduced the origin of the house.

"Sister, you're finally back! You have no idea how worried we were about you..."

When Tina led Mike and Tina inside, the two eleven- or twelve-year-old boys immediately surrounded them.

These two children, about the same age as Sheldon, are Tina's younger brother and sister.

"Jerry, Katie, why aren't you resting yet so late!" Tina said with a hint of annoyance, but her face was full of doting smiles. "I told you before, if I come back late, you don't have to wait for me..."

The two little ones, whose hair was being ruffled by their older sister, both looked sensible and well-behaved.

Meanwhile, the two little ones were also sneakily glancing at Mike and Nydy, who entered the room shortly afterward.

Of course, the two kids were mainly looking at Niddy.

After all, Nidyl's dark style of dress is too unusual for a child.

"These are my sister's friends, Mike and Niddy..."

Tina noticed the two little ones' little antics, so she generously introduced Mike and the other boy to her younger brother and sister.

"Alright, it's getting late, you should all go and get some rest."

After satisfying the two little ones' curiosity, Tina personally escorted them back to their room.

A few minutes later, she returned to the living room after carefully preparing two cups of coffee: "Please sit for a while, I'll go change my clothes..."

After serving the coffee, the woman, still wearing her sequined performance dress, said she was about to return to her room.

"No, this outfit is fine." Mike got up and went to the woman's side.

The bright silver evening gown accentuated her figure beautifully.

At this point, Tina understood Mike's meaning with just a glance.

Then, the two went together to a private and cozy little room.

As for Nidi behind him, she remained in the living room as if she were invisible.

[Charm +20]... [Elegance +10]... [Flexibility +5]... [Dance Experience +20]...

Before long, a fierce "battle" broke out in the small room.

Wearing a sequined outfit, Tina forcefully suppressed her "chanting" so as not to disturb the other people in the house.

However, the more she acted this way, the more motivated Mike became.

Having the ability to "eavesdrop on women's thoughts," he understands women better than anyone.

He has also developed countless uses for the newly acquired [Power of Transformation].

Chapter 372 Bubble

The next morning, as the sunlight streamed into the cabin, Mike, feeling refreshed, covered the woman beside him with a blanket before stepping out of the room.

In the living room, Jerry and Katie were already up and eating breakfast.

A bowl of oatmeal porridge made with milk, plus an apple.
