American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

'Washington State...the Voltour family...they may run away, but they can't hide...'

Mike already knew the origins of the three vampires through his mind-reading ability, so there was no need for him to rush after Caius.

Now he needs to first soothe Princess Mia's emotions, and also help Queen Renadi and Princess Mia calm down the ministers in the reception room.

Genovia is a very small country, with a land area of ​​only about 500 square kilometers and a population of less than 100,000.

It's called a country, but it's more like a small town, so the coup that happened here today couldn't be hidden from the people outside.

Therefore, if we do not want national turmoil, we must properly handle the turmoil caused by this coup attempt.

Realizing what had happened, Mike turned around and, with Amy and Alan, returned to Princess Mia and Queen Renardi.

With Mike as a strong ally, the ministers in the banquet hall who were close to the royal family seemed to have found a pillar of support.

Unlike the harmonious atmosphere surrounding Queen Reina Di, the Marbury father and son, who had sneaked to the door but hadn't had a chance to escape, were now in a predicament.

The situation changed too quickly. Before Marbury could even feel smug, the vampire-like foreign players he had brought in either fled or ran away.

Knowing he was doomed, he reacted quickly, grabbing his son and trying to escape.

However, Marbury's luck seemed to run out, as he was immediately blocked at the door by Joe, who had followed closely behind and organized a guard team.

Subsequently, Marbury and his son were brought before the Queen.

“Your Majesty, the traitor has been caught. What should we do with him?” Joe asked.

Although this royal butler had a close enough relationship with Queen Renadi, in front of outsiders he was still a loyal subordinate of the Queen.

"Two hundred square kilometers of land were handed over to vampires with just a few words. Do you know what the consequences will be?" Queen Renadi looked at Marbury with great disappointment.

Two-fifths of the land was still given to the vampires, because given their current situation, if the vampires were to take over Genovia, they would surely destroy this small country.

Therefore, what Marbury did can no longer be described as treason.

"Take Marbury to the dungeon and execute him at a later date!" Queen Reina was truly enraged this time. Before Marbury could even offer any excuses, she directly sentenced him to death.

"Wait, Your Majesty, I am willing to use my knowledge to serve the country, but I beg you to spare my father's life." Nicholas knelt on the ground, pleading for his father.

This high-achieving student, although he did not agree with some of his father's actions, also understood the principle that everyone prospers or suffers together.

"This..." Genovia is a small country in the early stages of development and does indeed need various high-end talents, which makes Queen Renadi a little undecided.

On one side is a promising young talent, and on the other is a serious criminal in the kingdom. The crucial point is that the two are father and son.

How to choose?

After hesitating for a while, the Queen unconsciously looked at Mike.

As Marbury said, Reynaldi's gentle nature as a queen enabled her to achieve considerable success in both domestic and foreign affairs, but she lacked some decisiveness in ruthlessness.

Now, Mike, as the one who quelled the coup, not only possesses great power, but also has an ambiguous and complicated relationship with Princess Mia.

Being regarded as one of their own, he naturally became Queen Renadi's "backer".

“What Marbury did may not warrant the execution of his entire family, but his son will definitely not escape punishment,” Mike advised at the opportune moment.

Unlike Queen Renadi's gentle ideas, Mike wondered: where would Nicholas get the money to live and study abroad?

It must be provided by the family.

So, Marbury and his son actually belong to the same camp.

If we follow Queen Reynaldi's plan: she wants to punish Marbury on one hand, and promote his son on the other.

The potential risks are definitely significant. As time goes on, no one can guarantee that Nicholas won't develop other ulterior motives.

After all, there's a deep bond between father and son.

Therefore, this potential danger cannot be allowed to remain.

The best course of action is to punish them both.

As for the talent issue, Queen Reina Di's vision is too shallow; if there's a lack of talent, just bring in others.

Genovya's development is not dependent on any one person.

"Then throw Marbury and his son into the dungeon." Reminded, Queen Renadi made a decision and continued, "Also, arrest Marbury's confidants, interrogate them, and then deal with them."

Nearby, ministers and nobles who had previously been close to Marbury, upon hearing that their own cases were also involved, began to plead their innocence in various ways.

The banquet hall instantly became incredibly noisy.

There's a saying, "The law doesn't punish everyone." Seeing that Queen Renadi was showing signs of softening, Mike stepped forward and said, "No need for that. I can determine their guilt right now."

Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures, but Queen Reynaldi's personality was still too gentle.

Under everyone's gaze, Mike looked at those who were crying and pleading for justice, activated his mind-reading ability, and then pointed at each of them, saying, "You, you, and you, you are all guilty."

As soon as he finished speaking, all those he had pointed at were burned to ashes by the fire in their hearts, their expressions filled with pain.

The hall fell silent. Those who had cried out for justice but hadn't been called on dared not follow the crowd and "make trouble" anymore.

“Alright, the people I’m going to call next, though not deserving of death, need to be arrested and interrogated…” Mike didn’t care what the ministers thought. After gesturing to Joe, he called out a dozen or so people from Marbury’s faction.

While a tough approach may be frightening, it is also the quickest way to quell the unrest.

To Mike's surprise, he inexplicably received some faith points while dealing with the incident.

[Faith Points +1]...[Faith Points +1]...[Faith Points +1]...

Without a doubt, these faith points were provided by ministers and nobles who were close to the Queen.

So, Genovya isn't actually without options.

"Your Majesty, is my approach correct?" After identifying all the traitors present, Mike returned to Mia and the others.

As for the potential threat posed by Stephon Marbury and his son, it was extinguished in the first instance.

"No problem, you did very well..." Queen Renadi looked at the remaining ministers and nobles below and saw awe in their eyes, as well as a faint sense of unity.

This kind of situation was very rare in the past.

After all, Queen Renadi's style of doing things determined that she would earn respect, but not fear.

Turning her gaze back to Mike, Queen Renadi suddenly asked, "When do you want to marry my granddaughter?"

Realizing that her ideals were no longer suitable for Genovia, Queen Reinadi has decided to "step down and give way".

Princess Mia's prerequisite for succeeding to the throne is that she must first have a partner.

"Marriage? Isn't that too fast?" Mike asked, as was his habit.

After all, he's still so young and has so many female friends, he hasn't really thought much about marriage.

However, his subconscious reaction caused Princess Mia's face to darken.

"It's alright if you don't want to get married right away, you can get engaged first..." Queen Renadi asked kindly, "What do you think?"

It must be said that Her Majesty the Queen is indeed an experienced woman; she understands Mike's thoughts very well.

Princess Mia, seeing that there was still a chance, also looked up at Mike with pleading eyes.

Meanwhile, Mike, unable to withstand such a test, thought for a moment and said, "Engagement is no problem, we can get engaged first."

This immediately lightened the atmosphere in the entire banquet hall.

"Very good~" Queen Renadi smiled and continued, "Since all the ministers are here today, I officially announce that Princess Mia and Mr. Mike are engaged. As for when they will get married, that will be decided by them at that time."

Now, even the slowest person could see that Her Majesty the Queen was paving the way for her granddaughter to ascend the throne.

The ministers then applauded in celebration.

Who becomes queen is not important, but having Mike, a powerful outsider, as a support is very important.

In particular, these ministers had just witnessed the existence of dangerous vampires in the world.

Compared to the evil vampires, Mike's methods were a bit harsh, but having such a stabilizing force as a supporter still filled the ministers with hope for the future.

……

Chapter 463 Future

Two days later, news of the coup attempt in the banquet hall indeed spread throughout Genovia. The public even knew that Marbury had contacted an evil vampire in order to stage the coup.

Of course, the news that the Queen had found a powerful and handsome fiancé for her granddaughter also spread.

Legend has it that it was the princess's fiancé who exposed the Marbury father and son's conspiracy and defeated the invading evil vampires, thus quelling the coup d'état.

As a result, Mike, who had been immersed in a gentle embrace for the past two days, received a considerable amount of faith points.

"Don't worry, I'll come back to you after this problem is solved..." That morning, Mike said goodbye to the comfort of his home and prepared to deal with the vampire threat in Washington State.

And he wasn't lying; he planned to stay in Genovia for a long time to come.

Although this small country is not large in area, it has beautiful scenery and climate. If managed properly, it would be very suitable to be built into a paradise-like "back garden".

"Then come back soon. Amy and I will be waiting for you." Princess Mia stepped forward and gently kissed the man's cheek as a farewell gift.

Since their engagement, the princess has become increasingly infatuated with Mike. She even unconditionally fulfills some of his excessive little requests.

This allowed Mike to fully enjoy "royal" treatment these past two days.

See you later!

Mike waved to Mia, Amy, and Alan, then turned and walked toward Washington state.

It wasn't until they entered the wilderness and there were no roads that Mike's body slowly rose into the air, enjoying the pleasure of free flight.

Meanwhile, in an old castle in Washington state, the atmosphere was very somber.

"Are you sure it was a powerful human who killed Chelsea and Jane, and not something else?" Aro, dressed in medieval attire, asked the Second Elder, who was sitting to the side.

On either side of the magnificent long table in the hall sat a dozen or so pure-blooded vampires with distinct styles.

Aro was the leader of these purebloods.

The meeting being held now is the family council of the Volturi.

“I’m sure it was a human, not some other vampire or werewolf or anything like that,” Caius, whose face was growing increasingly pale, replied.

Based on his vampire intuition for humans, Caius was certain that the terrifying young man he had seen that day was definitely human.

This was precisely what puzzled him: how could humans become so powerful?

It's not embarrassing to admit, but Caius was so terrified that day that he only thought about escaping. After leaving the banquet hall, he fled all the way back to Washington State, hardly ever looking back.

I'm afraid of being caught by that "evil star".

“I believe you, but if the other party were truly human and possessed such powerful abilities, as you claim, they would have come looking for us long ago.” Aro frowned and continued, “Perhaps you overlooked something that day because you were afraid?”

Vampires and humans are natural enemies.

Therefore, Aro clung to the hope that Caius was mistaken.

“That does sound a bit strange. The ability he used at the end seems to be somewhat similar to Jane’s innate ability…” When pressed by the leader, Caius began to doubt his own judgment.

After all, he was indeed attacked by "mental assassination" that day, and he vomited blood all the way back.

"Jane's ability? Mental attack..."

"Then the other party is definitely not human; perhaps it's a descendant of some ancient vampire..."

"I knew it! Humans aren't that powerful. Caius must have been scaring himself..."

"The Second Elder has had similar experiences before. He was once so frightened by a werewolf that he didn't dare to leave the house for more than half a month..."

……

Although Caius is the second elder of the Volturi family, his cowardly and timid nature makes him very unpopular with other vampires.

Thus, the focus of the family meeting gradually shifted to "punishing" the Second Elder's embarrassing incident.

It was amidst these banter that the pureblood vampires gradually came to accept that the young man Caius had met that day was not human.

“If the other party is a vampire, then we can try to make contact with him again.” Leader Aro gradually accepted that the other party was a vampire and thus came up with his own plan.

The situation in America is no longer suitable for vampires to survive, so as the leader of the Volturi family, Aro urgently needs to help his people find a new "home".

For this purpose, he doesn't mind spending a little more.

"Then Chelsea and Jane have wasted their time..."

"The Volturi family is not to be trifled with; we should make them pay with blood..."
