Tina seed to know what Mike wanted to ask and quickly explained, "Although I helped Dorian and his gang before, I was forced to do so. I can assure you, I have never done anything heinous..."
Then, to add credibility, Tina briefly recounted her own experience.
It turned out that when this woman was in high school, her parents passed away unexpectedly, leaving only her and a pair of young siblings.
From then on, Tina, who was forced to shoulder the burden of family life, had no choice but to drop out of school and go out to earn money for her younger siblings.
The reason she helped Dorian execute the bank robbery plan this ti was precisely because her siblings had just entered middle school at the sa ti this year and needed a large sum of tuition fees.
Without money, she was forced to borrow high-interest loans from the local gang.
And then, with interest compounding, Tina, unable to repay her debts, could only pay them off by doing favors for the gang.
This was also the reason why she and Dorian were "on the surface, but alienated in spirit" before.
"The story is very exciting, and then what?" Mike, who had listened to the woman's narration, was not overflowing with sympathy.
It just surprised him that the woman's words were actually true.
However, there are so many pitiful people, and this is not a reason for the other party to do "bad things."
"Then what else do you want? Are you going to arrest ?" Seeing Mike's unfeeling deanor, Tina chose to give up.
At the sa ti, the woman's previous good impression of Mike was rapidly declining.
"How about this, join us, and your previous deeds will be written off..." Mike's expression softened, and he stated his true intention.
This woman's life experience gave her a good hand at discerning people's hearts, making her very suitable 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 sure that with this woman's intelligence, she would definitely not hold back after joining his X Squad.
"No problem, I can join you now." After hearing Mike's proposal, Tina quickly agreed.
Her urgent expression seed to be afraid that if she waited one more second, the other party would regret it.
"Don't rush to make a decision. I can't guarantee your safety after joining the X Squad..." Then, Mike briefly explained the nature of his squad to the woman.
The X Squad deals with supernatural events, and the dangers involved are naturally self-evident for ordinary people.
"I'm sure, I want to join you." After listening to the explanation, Tina still made the sa choice.
Perhaps it was the woman's sixth sense, but she had an inexplicable trust in Mike.
"Very good, congratulations on becoming the sixth mber of the squad," Mike showed a slight smile and said, "Next, I'll tell you about the treatnt after joining the X Squad..."
"A basic monthly salary of ten thousand dollars, and after each special mission is completed, you will also receive so bonuses based on your contribution to the mission."
As a new mber of the squad, Tina received similar treatnt to Wesley.
"Ten thousand dollars? And a bonus! Are you sure you didn't say it wrong?" With an average salary of only two or three thousand, Tina was a little surprised by Mike's "generosity."
Having been in society for several years and raising her siblings, she already knew how difficult it was to earn money.
And ten thousand dollars a month was enough for Tina to solve her family's predicant.
At this mont, the woman was already celebrating her previous choice.
"That's the situation," Mike gave an affirmative answer, and then continued, "You can leave now, and I will notify you when there's a mission."
Tina, who was sure she wasn't dreaming, felt a little reluctant to part when it was ti to say goodbye.
The good job coupled with the previous "life-saving grace" had already made the woman's good impression of Mike explode.
Research shows that people are very likely to develop a good impression of the opposite sex around them when they encounter danger.
It's a bit like the "suspension bridge effect."
Tina's previous situation was very similar to this, and moreover, Mike was so handso.
No matter how she calculated it, she didn't seem to be at a loss.
"Um, my ho is quite close to here, would you like to co for a cup of coffee?" With multiple factors at play, Tina, whose head was a little dizzy, rashly extended an invitation.
It was almost midnight now!
A woman inviting a man to her ho, just thinking about it was very ambiguous.
"Coffee? Sure." With such a beautiful woman offering herself, Mike had no reason to refuse.
...
"This is where I live, the environnt might be a bit poor..." Tina, getting out of the Tesla luxury car, looked a little uneasy when she arrived in front of her civilian house building.
At this mont, she felt that her previous invitation seed a bit rash.
"A very cozy house, you can tell that the person who designed it put a lot of thought into it." Looking at the small house full of life in front of him, Mike did not hold back his praise.
To be honest, Tina's house was no worse than Connie's house building.
What's more, this was New York City.
From a certain perspective, if Tina didn't have siblings to support, she would definitely be a "small rich woman."
"Right, this house was designed and built by my father himself, and it really took a lot of effort at the ti..." Hearing the praise, Tina's face blood with a brilliant smile.
And then, she proudly introduced the origin of the house.
"Sister, you're finally back, you don't know how worried we were about you..."
When Tina led Mike into the door, two eleven or twelve-year-old kids imdiately surrounded them.
These two children, about the sa age as Sheldon, were Tina's younger brother and sister.
"Jerry, Katie, why aren't you two resting so late!" Although Tina spoke dismissively, her face was filled with a doting smile: "I told you long ago, if I co back late, you don't have to wait for ..."
The two little ones, whose hair was being ruffled by their sister, also looked sensible and well-behaved.
At the sa ti, these two little ones also cleverly peeked at Mike and Needy, who entered later.
Of course, these two children were mainly looking at Needy.
After all, Needy's entire dark attire style was simply too unique for children.
"This is my sister's friends, Mike and Needy..."
Tina noticed the two little ones' small actions, so she generously introduced Mike to her brother and sister.
"Alright, it's getting late, you two hurry up and rest—"
After satisfying the two little ones' curiosity, Tina personally sent them back to their room.
A few minutes later, she, who had carefully prepared two cups of coffee, walked back into the living room: "You two sit for a while, I'll go change my clothes..."
After serving the coffee, the woman, still wearing a sequined performance gown, said she was going back to her room.
"No, this outfit is just fine." Mike got up and went to the woman's side.
The bright silver evening gown perfectly accentuated her figure.
With the atmosphere reaching this point, with just one look, Tina understood Mike's aning.
Then, the two went together to a private and cozy small room.
As for Needy behind them, she remained in the living room like a transparent person, acting sensible.

Before long, a fierce "battle" unfolded in the small room.
Tina, wearing a sequined outfit, forced herself to hold back her "singing voice" so as not to disturb the others in the house.
However, the more she did this, the more motivated Mike beca.
Possessing the ability to hear won's thoughts, he understood won best.
And the Power of Transformation he had just acquired had been developed by him into countless uses.
