Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

After all, in this way, he could not only gain another Hydra base, but also indirectly uncover the hidden secrets within S.H.I.E.L.D. Either way, it wouldn't be a bad deal!

Hydra, who was inexplicably blamed: "?"

To be honest, sometimes human luck is just that mysterious. Because of Black Egg's preconceived notions, he almost subconsciously assumed that Hydra was the cat thief, which led to Black Egg not even noticing that his cat was sitting right under that pink fluffy ball's butt on the internet.

Of course, part of the reason is that although Doro became popular again in the hotel, its reach only extended to Florida and did not extend beyond the state. Its popularity was only in the city of Miami.

The reason is simple: Florida doesn't support idlers. As Sherlock said, the "old knight" meme might be popular elsewhere, but in Florida, a land of outstanding people and beautiful scenery, it wouldn't even make the news.

After all, the people here are just too interesting. It just goes to show how complicated Florida is. Even the Avengers would pale in comparison. Didn't the Avengers get drunk as a group and it didn't make the news?

In this place, such things are all too common.

And the main characters in all of this, Black Egg's beloved cat Gugu, Doro's mount Maodie, and the orange-haired creature in Sherlock's mouth, are currently sleeping soundly in Sherlock's car, drooling almost dripping from their mouths.

After leaving the hotel, Sherlock spent almost three days driving back. Along the way, he stopped frequently to enjoy the scenery, and Zhao Weike also decided to punish the two girls who had gone too far.

It's very simple. After you go back, just go to school and don't take on any tasks until the incident calms down. Also, before the online buzz surrounding the two of them dies down, you must complete all your high school courses, and you must get A+ grades in Chemistry, Physics, Science, and Mathematics.

Not only that, the two girls also need to get an offer from a university's chemistry department.

Based on the estimated timeframe, the two of them will have at most one to three months to complete these tasks, which means the time is tight and the task is heavy.

At first, Anna and Mindy were extremely unwilling to accept Zhao Weike's arrangement, but after Zhao Weike demonstrated how he could make poison gas, bombs, incendiary bombs, and even anesthetics and timed explosive devices from supermarket items, the two girls obediently shut their mouths.

Although these things seem to have nothing to do with the business of mainland hotels, and even seem like a waste of effort.

However, the two girls could clearly see that Zhao Weike's arrangement was more about saving their lives and giving them more self-defense capabilities outside the mainland hotel area.

Looking at all the assassins in the mainland hotels, perhaps only Zhao Weike, who escaped unscathed, would care about these things.

After all, if they didn't have this knowledge, they might even die on the way to escape if they abandoned the mainland hotel. Zhao Weike was only pressuring the two girls because he was worried about their future.

Having understood everything, Anna and Mindy accepted Zhao Weike's arrangements. Of course, they still had their complaints, since getting an offer in three months was difficult enough, let alone getting A+ in several subjects.

The two girls seemed to have already foreseen their arduous lives of studying late into the night at their desks.

Sherlock, however, scoffed at the two girls' concerns, after all, he had experienced a hellish high school life like Rabbit's in his previous life.

Compared to the situation in the United States, the college entrance examination in China can be described as a complete hell mode. While working people can at least get a day off after working 9 am to 9 pm, high school students live a six-and-a-half-day week, from 6 am to 9 pm.

Putting aside the two girls' pain and complaints about the hellish academic pressure ahead, the overall atmosphere of the road trip back from Miami was actually quite relaxed and enjoyable.

Especially Orange, that guy is super happy every day. Of course, Sherlock is super happy too, since Orange came, neither Sherlock's family nor Zhao Weike's family has ever had leftovers!

However, all the joy came to an abrupt end after the two families drove their cars into the community.

The reason is simple: the community has changed so much that even Sherlock had to double-check before he was sure he hadn't gone to the wrong place and that this was indeed the community he lived in.

Looking at the changes in his own community, Sherlock's mouth twitched non-stop, and he even had a feeling of being back in the rabbit's world.

"Damn it, anyone who didn't know better would think the US had been liberated! To find a neighborhood committee in the US is just unbelievable!"

Chapter 274 Doro: What a vicious threat!

Sherlock, who had been holding back for so long, finally couldn't contain himself and started ranting and raving. It's no wonder Sherlock reacted this way; anyone would be dumbfounded by the scene before them.

As the two vehicles turned into the community, you could see many Black Widows wearing reflective vests patrolling and repairing public areas. If that were all, it wouldn't have made Sherlock react so strongly.

What truly broke Sherlock's spirits was when the vehicle drove deeper into the community and arrived at his own front door. Sherlock clearly saw that the captain's house no longer looked the same as it had at the beginning.

A group of Black Widows were carrying building materials in and out of the captain's house, and almost every one of them had a smile on their face, full of hope for the future.

What caught Sherlock's eye was a sign hanging above the front door of the Captain's house.

"A neighborhood committee pub? Holy crap?"

Sherlock was completely stunned when he saw this scene. To be honest, Sherlock could understand the two words separately, but for some reason, he didn't quite recognize them when they were put together.

Not only Sherlock, but even the Zhao Weike family was dumbfounded. The group of people lined up neatly and looked at the captain's house, which had been completely changed, and had no idea what had happened.

"No, is that right? No, I mean, does the captain know?"

After a long pause, Zhao Weike pointed to the sign above the house's entrance and asked Sherlock. Sherlock, equally bewildered, shook his head, even beginning to wonder if the captain had gotten addicted to playing the mustache back in the rainforest.

Damn it, just experiencing the late game isn't enough, now they've even prepared the venue for the early game tavern speeches?

Sherlock didn't understand, Sherlock was greatly shocked.

Fortunately, Anne came out of the captain's room at this moment. After seeing the dumbfounded Sherlock, Anne's reaction was quite pleasant. She put down the materials in her hand and greeted Sherlock.

"Sherlock, you're finally back!"

Faced with the enthusiastic Anne, Sherlock seemed oblivious, pointing foolishly at the tavern that was already taking shape and asking Anne.

"Does the captain know that you've turned his house into a tavern?"

Upon hearing Sherlock's question, Anne actually chuckled and then began to explain to Sherlock.

It turns out that after the Avengers left the Red Room, Black Widow contacted the original Black Widows who were sent there. Just as they had agreed beforehand, Black Widow respected all the Black Widows' choices.

Some of the Black Widows who had little interest in such a mundane life chose to return to the Red House and become the managers of the renovated Avengers Watchtower.

Some chose to join Tony's company and experience the life of an ordinary person.

The rest, led by Annie, planned to live an ordinary life in this community.

Since they were going to live in this community, they naturally needed to have an income. After thinking about it, Black Widow gave them an idea: since Captain America had been transferred to Washington for work, they could use his house to start a business.

The tavern was the result of their discussion.

The reason it's called the neighborhood committee is quite simple: when they went to negotiate with the property management company, the company provided them with considerable support.

On the one hand, it's because there are very few places like this for residents to relax in the upscale community where Sherlock lives; on the other hand, it's because Scarlett Johansson gave a heads-up beforehand, so the people in the property management had some understanding of the group of beauties in front of them.

The final agreement was that the Black Widows' tavern could not operate outside the property and would also be responsible for certain community maintenance work. In return, the property management would provide the tavern with certain financial compensation.

This model has many advantages. On the one hand, it can increase revenue, and on the other hand, it can build good relationships with officials and even residents in the community. The name of the neighborhood committee naturally became the name of the tavern.

The only problem is accommodation. They might have to stay at Sherlock's house for a while longer until the tavern is finished. Once the tavern is completed, they will all move in. Of course, Anne also promised that the tavern would not disturb Sherlock's life after it opens.

As Anne spoke, she gave Sherlock an apologetic look. After hearing Anne's explanation, Sherlock was still somewhat taken aback.

How should I put it? For some reason, I always feel like the changes are happening so fast that I can't keep up.

After figuring out the reason, Sherlock didn't say much. He didn't refuse Black Widow's request to stay at her place. After agreeing to Anne's request, he walked unsteadily toward his home.

Sherlock felt an urgent need to slow down, but to his surprise, the moment he opened his front door, he saw a little girl sitting on the sofa watching cartoons.

The little girl was even holding a tub of ice cream and happily eating it.

Not to mention that Sherlock clearly remembered that there was absolutely no little girl of that age in Black Widow, the little girl's face alone gave Sherlock the feeling of seeing a ghost.

Damn it, it's Laura!

That little wolf girl, Laura!

The key point is, there are no mutants in this world! Where the hell did this thing come from?

Sherlock even has a sense of absurdity, as if the dimensional barrier has been broken.

Meanwhile, when Lara saw that the person who entered the house was neither Black Widow nor Doro, but a man she didn't recognize, her expression instantly became wary, and her steel claws burst out of her flesh in an instant, like a cub breathing on Sherlock.

Seeing this scene, Sherlock was completely shocked. Damn it, he was being threatened in his own home by someone who wasn't even a member of his family? And the person threatening him was a girl who shouldn't even be there?

It is said that after the Battle of New York, the whole world began to go strange. Sherlock might not have felt it before, but now he really feels that the world has gone completely upside down.

They even suspected that a future dimensional crisis caused by Spider-Man might have affected the present, which is why the little wolf girl, who should have been with Twilight Wolf, ended up here.

However, to Sherlock's utter surprise, when Doro and Orange followed him into the house, Laura paused for a moment upon seeing them, then promptly retracted her claws and continued sitting on the sofa, eating ice cream and watching TV.

It was as if nothing had happened at all.

???

Upon seeing this, Sherlock had three huge question marks on his head. In an instant, he locked his eyes on Doro, a look that anyone who had ever been beaten by their parents would remember vividly.

In other words, if you don't explain yourself clearly today, your ass is going to get a real beating!

Seeing Sherlock's increasingly dangerous gaze, Doro swallowed hard, her little head filled with the techniques the Black Widows had taught her. She forced a pitiful look onto her face, trying to evoke Sherlock's sympathy and hoping to get away with it by being cute.

Looking at Doro's strange, disoriented expression on the ground, Sherlock's lips twitched. He felt a strange urge to forgive Doro for trying so hard to fool him.

Unfortunately, Sherlock is no longer the Sherlock of the past. He angrily picked up Doro, who was acting cute on the ground, and lightly slapped Doro's little bottom before looking at Doro with a half-smile and threatening him.

"If Doro doesn't explain this clearly, we won't be seeing Doro's favorite oranges for the next two weeks!"

doro: "!!!"

Chapter 275 Laura, who is quite wealthy

What a vicious threat!

This was Doro's first thought after hearing Sherlock's threat. And you know what? Sherlock's threat was like a bolt from the blue for Doro. If he couldn't eat his favorite Olunji for half a month, Doro felt that his life would just end like this.

Faced with such a vicious threat and with Sherlock holding him firmly in his grasp, Doro could only reluctantly recount his grand adventure to Sherlock in detail.

From the moment Doro began recounting how he escaped Helen's care, Sherlock's face grew increasingly dark. By the time Doro finished explaining how he had tried to deceive him upon his return, Sherlock's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

Sherlock had initially only suspected that the Flerken was Black Egg's Flerken, but after hearing Doro's account, he was now certain that it was indeed Black Egg's Flerken.

As for Doro stealing Blackie's cat without Blackie's consent, Sherlock said there was no problem with it. After all, Blackie had done too many inhuman things. Let alone stealing a cat, even a more severe revenge would be reasonable. At least Doro wasn't so heartless as to shave Blackie's cat's head and run away!

From this perspective, Doro is still a good Doro!

As for what happened afterward with Lara, it made Sherlock frown even more. It wasn't that he was worried that Lara would cause him trouble, but rather that he was wondering if Hydra had mastered the technology to artificially create mutants or what.

Regardless of the reason, the fact that Doro had sneaked away so far made Sherlock furious.

But seeing Doro's pitiful look, and seeing Doro pull out the vibranium he'd taken from S.H.I.E.L.D. and the gifts he'd brought for him from his little pocket, Sherlock finally softened.

After letting out a helpless sigh, he gently slapped Doro on the head and gave Doro's little head a good rub before speaking to Doro earnestly.

"Doro, I don't object to you going out to play, or even going out by yourself, but the premise is that you can't lie to the people who care about you and hide your whereabouts."

For example, if you sneaked into S.H.I.E.L.D. this time and something dangerous happened, we wouldn't even know where to look for you!

Listening to Sherlock's stern criticism, Doro lowered his head even further, tapping his little hands against his chest, and finally managed to squeeze out a sentence after a long time.

"I know I was wrong, human."

Hearing Doro's words, Sherlock softened and stopped criticizing him. Instead, he took out an orange the size of a basketball from his pocket, placed a grapefruit on top of it, and put it in front of Doro, speaking to him earnestly.

"How about we apologize to Aunt Helen, Anna, and Mindy tomorrow?"
