Chapter 29: The Real Mike
After bidding farewell, Mike and Mia returned to their apartment.
Mia had been in a bad mood all afternoon due to Letty's situation.
Recalling Letty's predicament, Mike decided to call Brian for information.
"Hi, it's Mike. How are you doing?" he greeted.
Brian, recognizing the caller, replied, "I'm good, thanks. How about you?"
"Everything is fine, except something happened to Dom," Mike revealed.
Concerned, Brian replied anxiously, "Oh, I hope it's not about me."
Assuaging his worries, Mike clarified, "No, it's not about you. I actually wanted to ask you about Letty. I called her today, but I feel like something is not right, it's like something bad is gonna happen."
Understanding the gravity of the situation, Brian assured him, "Okay, I've already completed my undercover mission and returned to the FBI. I still have some energy left, so I'll do my best to find out about Letty and get back to you."
"Thank you. I just want to know if she's okay," Mike expressed his gratitude.
Brian promised to help and they ended the call.
Concerned for Letty's well-being, Mike hoped that Letty hadn't taken a dangerous path.
The uneasiness in her voice during their conversation had left him worried, hence his request to Brian for information.
The following day, Mike went to the gym with a few companions.
"Let me introduce you to John and Parker," Mike said, presenting his friends.
"Hi!" greeted John and Parker in unison.
"And this is Sheldon, Leonard, Howard, Rajesh, and Mia. Mia, you've already met everyone," Mike continued.
"Hi!" responded Sheldon, Leonard, Howard, Rajesh, and Mia, acknowledging their introduction.
They began their workout routine together, starting with the treadmill.
As Sheldon and the others ran 1 kilometer, Mike and his companions ran 2 kilometers. By the time Sheldon and the others reached 5 kilometers, Mike had already covered 14 kilometers, while John and Parker had completed 10 kilometers.
The stark difference in their performance left Sheldon, the others, and even Mia astonished. Although Mia knew Mike had impressive physical strength, she was astounded by his exceptional abilities.
Was he even human? It seemed as though he were a superhuman or a beast.
Mike's running ability was three times that of Sheldon and 1.5 times that of John and the others. It was clear that his physical prowess exceeded expectations.
Sheldon, too, regarded Mike with surprise.
Mike's abilities showcased his prodigious talent in the realm of physical strength and muscle development, making Sheldon and the others accept him wholeheartedly.
His extraordinary talents set him apart as a non-human entity.
Next on the agenda was bench pressing, which brought even more thrills.
While Sheldon and the others could manage 35 pounds, the three physically active people pushed their limits, breaking past them even and reaching new personal records.
John and Parker handled 300 pounds. In contrast, Mike pressed an astonishing 600 pounds.
The immense disparity in strength left the group in awe of Mike's sheer power.
He was pushing the limits of human capability, achieving such an impressive feat without any assistance, such as a bench press vest.
Mike's strength was equivalent to lifting four Sheldons simultaneously—an intimidating prospect.
At that moment, Sheldon and the others realized the extent to which an individual's physical strength and power could be pushed.
As Mike, John, and Parker continued their training, Sheldon and the others observed their progress with great interest.
When the three of them finally finished, perspiration drenching their bodies, Sheldon and the others recognized John and Parker's formidable skills.
Witnessing their speedand reflexes, Sheldon and the others understood that individuals with such qualities were either agents, assassins, or belonged to high-risk professions like special forces.
They were the kind of people who could easily point a gun at someone's head.
This realization made them appreciate Mike's unique talents even more.
Despite the stark contrast in their abilities, Mike still considered them friends and vowed to protect them.
He valued his friends' safety, especially since not all of them were as skilled as Parker and John like his scientist friends Sheldon and the others.
Impressed by Mike's dedication, Parker approached him after the workout. "Would you like to be my partner? I may be a skilled thief, but I have principles," Parker proposed.
Mike replied, "I might not participate directly, but I consider you a friend. If you ever find yourself in danger, don't hesitate to reach out to me. I'll do my best to help you."
Parker asked curiously, "Why would you do that?"
"Because I enjoy this lifestyle and I don't want to lose it," Mike explained. "But I also have many friends, and I don't want them to get hurt. I'll protect my friends, including you, so they won't suffer any harm. Not all of my friends are like you; some are scientists," he added, glancing over at Sheldon and the others.
Parker nodded in understanding. Mike's words resonated with him, and he recognized Mike as a true friend.
Returning home, Mike couldn't contain his excitement and immediately activated the system.

Mia couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, still skeptical about Mike's claims.
