A prince from a certain American comic book

"..."

Two weeks later, Ike, accompanied by investigator Claire, met for the twentieth time with a psychotherapist working for a child protection agency.

In these twenty meetings, both Ike and the psychotherapist believed they had achieved perfect results.

For Ike, through these twenty meetings and conversations, he gradually fleshed out his identity as Ike Adair. As for some inconsistencies? Please, Ike is now a patient, a tragic child who was first imprisoned by cannibals for eight years and then kidnapped. It's normal for some memories to be confused.

For this psychotherapist, rescuing a child with a tragic past who was almost trapped in his own world through these twenty meetings with her extensive knowledge and patience was a significant achievement. She felt she should start preparing her dissertation, which might just bring her international renown.

quite a while.

Ike nodded as he listened to the therapist's gentle words of comfort and said, "Thank you, doctor."

The therapist smiled and said, "Ike, you are now in civilized society. No one will hurt you anymore."

Ike nodded to the therapist with a grateful look in his eyes.

The therapist's smile widened.

When Ike came for treatment, he didn't say a word, but after twenty sessions, he finally opened up to her.

Not long after.

Claire, who had been sitting in the waiting area outside and had been accompanying Ike for the past few days, heard the doorbell and knew that the treatment inside had ended, so she pushed the door open and went in.

next second.

As soon as Claire opened the door, she saw a blond boy named Ike with a charming smile looking up at her and saying, "Claire, I want to file a lawsuit against Caroline County Hospital, Caroline County Sheriff's Department, and the Armitage family. Can you help me?"

Claire was immediately dumbfounded.

Even the therapist who had been helping Ike heal his psychological problems over the past two weeks was slightly taken aback.

quite a while.

Claire snapped out of her daze, covered her mouth with her hand, and looked at Ike with some curiosity, asking, "Ike, why do you want to sue these three companies?"

Ike blinked his deep blue eyes, glanced at the therapist who had come to help him recover, and then said to Claire, "I was kidnapped in the hospital. Your colleague was involved, and the two police officers who were supposed to protect me at the door also left. So, it was a dereliction of duty by the hospital and the police department. I didn't involve child protection agencies because of Claire."

Claire shook her head and said, "Wait, you were originally planning to sue the child protection agency?"

Ike nodded and said calmly, "Of course, the two people who kidnapped me were your colleague who colluded with them."

Claire was somewhat lost in thought.

This was the first time she had learned the truth from Ike.

Jimmy was also a kidnapper?

Claire wanted to laugh, after all, she knew what her colleagues were like.

……and many more.

Claire suddenly remembered.

A year ago, Jimmy went to Caroline County by himself, and when he returned, he seemed like a completely different person.

Jesus Christ.

Claire covered her mouth as she thought about it, looking at her good friend's therapist with a horrified expression.

A month has passed.

The residents of Caroline County also learned that the Armitage family were "demons," after all, they had seen firsthand how many skeletons were dug out from the backyard of the Armitage villa.

The above is what the average person knows.

However, more specific information was kept from the general public.

Ordinary people only know that a lot of skeletons were unearthed, and they can also see how many public figures in Caroline County have been arrested and put into cars by FBI agents who appear to be from Maryland in the past few days...

The real reason has been kept secret.

unfortunately.

Claire, who handed over the videotape, was one of those who knew the truth. Moreover, because of this, Claire, under the care of a lawyer sent by her boyfriend, signed a confidentiality agreement with a secret law enforcement agency with a notoriously long name.

Claire snapped out of her daze and looked at Ike, asking cautiously, "Ike, what did you learn after you were kidnapped by the Armitage family?"

Ike said, "The Armitage family is evil too. I'm going to sue them. I'm going to tell everyone what the Armitage family has done."

Claire panicked and hurriedly said to Ike, "No, no, Ike, you can sue, but you can't say that in court."

Ike tilted his head and asked, "Why?"

Claire smiled slightly, as if to say, "Because if you do, the court will consider your mental state to require mandatory intervention."

Ike looked at Claire with a puzzled expression.

But deep down...

Ike suddenly remembered what Zhang Wuji's mother had said to Zhang Wuji before she died.

The more beautiful a woman is, the less she blinks when she lies.

Ah shit.

Isn't it just that they're afraid he'll tell the truth in court and expose what law enforcement agencies have been trying so hard to hide these past few days?

But that's exactly the effect Ike wanted; otherwise, how could he achieve his subsequent stability plan?

That afternoon.

After handing Ike over to the hospital and the nurse, Mi, who had been specifically assigned by the hospital to take care of him, Claire immediately dialed the name of the secret law enforcement officer named Coulson, whose name was extremely difficult to pronounce.

After half an hour.

Claire got into the command vehicle parked in front of the hospital. After closing the door, Claire said directly to Coulson and Nick, who was hiding in the shadows and could not be seen, "Ike wants to sue Caroline County Hospital, the County Sheriff's Department, and the Armitage family."

Coulson and Nick, who were sitting in the dark, were also taken aback when they heard the news.

After undergoing twenty consecutive psychological treatments by Ike, Coulson and Nick temporarily came to believe in Ike's tragic backstory. They exchanged a glance, and then Nick turned to Claire, who had sat down, and asked, "Will child protection agencies accept his case?"

Claire shrugged. "We have no reason not to accept it, and Ike is right. The county hospital and the county police department did not fulfill their responsibilities, which led to him experiencing a terrifying accident that could leave him with lifelong psychological trauma."

Coulson frowned. "The Caroline County Court won't accept it."

Nick glanced at Coulson and said to Claire, "I think that kid is planning to file a lawsuit directly with the Maryland Juvenile Court."

Claire nodded.

...I want to chat with more like-minded people about "The Prince of a Certain American Comic Book"~

Chapter 030: Two Million Yuan Settlement (Seeking Recommendations)

The juvenile courts, which exist in every state and in some places have more than forty branches, are where Ike wants to file his lawsuit. (Ice (Fire Chinese www.bhZw.Cc))

The reason can be summed up in just one sentence.

The juvenile court was more inclined to favor Ike in his plan, and after so many days of development, the title of survivor of the cannibalism incident in West Virginia two months ago and now a survivor of the Maryland demon incident was enough for Ike to get everything he wanted.

A moment of silence fell over the command vehicle.

Seeing this, Claire spoke again to Nick and Coulson, saying, "Ike intends to tell the truth of this matter in court."

Coulson snapped out of his daze and said, "That won't do."

Nick nodded and said, "We've spent a lot of manpower and resources here to minimize the impact of this incident to the lowest level we can accept."

Claire said, "There's nothing I can do about it. Once the juvenile court agrees to take the case, believe me, they will accept it. Once Ike walks into court, the truth of this matter will be fully revealed."

Nick remained silent.

Will the Maryland Juvenile Court accept this?

of course.

Haven't you seen that in the past few days, the number of enthusiastic residents who want to visit Ike, a survivor of the two terrorist attacks, in the hospital has exceeded four figures? Even more families have called child protection agencies, expressing their willingness to adopt and care for this poor Ike.

He paused for a moment.

Nick looked up at Claire with some curiosity and asked, "What kind of outcome does he want to achieve by accusing the county hospital and the county sheriff's department?"

“Justice has been served,” Claire said, then her expression turned strange as she thought of Ike’s words on the way back, and said to Nick and Coulson, “At the same time, they should pay far, far more money because his spirit was severely wounded.”

Nick and Coulson were taken aback.

Claire quickly added, "These are Ike's exact words."

quite a while.

Nick nodded and said, "Justice will certainly be served, but the department has instructed us to minimize the impact of this matter."

Claire frowned suspiciously and asked, "You're planning to settle this privately?"

Nick smiled and said, "Ms. Hale, may I meet this little one?"

Claire wasn't as forceful as last time. After considering it for a while, she nodded and said, "Okay, but I must be there during the meeting. The therapist said that although Ike has improved, it will take a long time for him to fully recover."

Nick nodded and said, "Of course."

After half an hour.

So engrossed in the role, Ike, who was petting Tom the cat's smooth, non-shedding blue fur on his hospital bed, looked up at Claire and the shiny Nick who walked in.

Claire said with a smile, "Ike, didn't you want to sue the county sheriff's office? This is the sheriff of Caroline County, you can call him Sheriff Goss."

Nick smiled, revealing two rows of bright white teeth, and said, "Hello, Ike."

Ike stared at Nick without saying a word.

Goss... no, Nick had no idea that his identity had been exposed, since Ike had been unconscious the whole time they were treating him until they left.

Ike quickly realized what was going on in his mind.

After all, this can be considered a supernatural event, and naturally falls under the jurisdiction of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Then the problem is coming.

How much money can I squeeze out this time?

On the surface, Ike maintained a calm and indifferent expression, but inwardly he was thinking something quite lively...

Not long after.

After Nick sat down, he smiled at Ike, who seemed to be focused on him under Claire's reassurance, and said, "Ike, I assure you, this time all the bad guys in our police department will get what they deserve."

Ike nodded indifferently, completely absorbed in the image of the patient suffering from immense trauma.
