Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

"Xia Xia Xia Xia...Sherlock?"

When Zhao Weike saw Sherlock fall from the sky and suddenly crash in front of him, his voice even stammered a little.

Family, who can understand this? I was just thinking about Sherlock, and the next thing I know, Sherlock is right in front of me? Who knows if I've finally gained the superpower of having whatever I think about, or if this guy finally saw what I posted in the group chat and came back to get revenge?

Although Zhao Weike's voice was trembling slightly because he was feeling guilty, it was clear that Sherlock, who had gotten up from the table, was not paying attention to Zhao Weike. Instead, the first thing he did after getting up was to sit down at the table and keep slapping his thigh.

Sherlock was filled with regret. If he had activated the teleportation even a fraction of a second later, or if Tony had knocked off the Winter Soldier's mask even a fraction of a second earlier, he would have been able to see what happened next. He had missed a truly iconic scene!

It's worth noting that in the scene before the teleportation was activated, Tony punched Captain America's shield, while Bucky lay on the ground behind Captain America.

The scene itself, which is similar to the original three-worm lineup, with Tom Holland holding the Green Goblin's skateboard to end the Green Goblin's life but being stopped by Toby, is already considered a classic.

But by sheer coincidence, I only caught a fleeting glimpse of this iconic scene.

This incident prompted Sherlock's first reaction after the teleportation was to slap his thigh, and he even wished he could teleport back to see what happened next.

However, Zhao Weike did not give Sherlock this chance. He looked at Sherlock, who was sitting at the table and slapping his thigh repeatedly, and explained to Sherlock with a trembling voice.

"Hey Sherlock, I swear, what I posted in the group was just because I was drunk and out of my mind. When I saw your underwear floating down from the sky, I just sent it out without thinking."

I absolutely did not spread rumors on purpose, you believe me, really! Calm down, this is starting to scare me a little..."

Before Zhao Weike could finish speaking, Sherlock interrupted him, raising his hand in confusion to stop him from continuing. Instead, she looked at Zhao Weike with surprise and asked him a question.

"Wait, what did you just say?"

"I absolutely did not spread rumors on purpose, do you believe me?"

"Not this sentence, the previous one!"

"I was drunk and out of my mind, and when I saw your underwear floating down from the sky..."

When Zhao Weike finished speaking, he was interrupted by Sherlock after only repeating half of what he said. The moment Sherlock heard Zhao Weike's words, his face turned red almost instantly, and he started cursing before Zhao Weike could even finish.

"Don't eat the pickled radish! Tony, you bastard, you dare lie to me? Wait! So, this bastard Tony dragged me, completely naked, across half of New York? What the hell! I'm so angry I'm going to cry!"

Sherlock began chanting a beautiful incantation while staring intently at Zhao Weike. Zhao Weike immediately understood what Sherlock was thinking. After Sherlock calmed down a bit, Zhao Weike looked at Sherlock with pity and said...

"Good news and bad news, which do you want to hear first?"

"Bad news!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Sherlock spoke directly to Zhao Weike. Upon hearing Sherlock's choice, Zhao Weike smiled mischievously and said to Sherlock.

"The bad news is, unfortunately, just as you probably thought, someone filmed Tony flying naked over New York with you!"

"Fuck you, Tony! You bastard, you're dead! I'm going to expose all your dirty secrets right now using the Alchemist account! You're all dead! None of you will survive!"

Upon hearing Zhao Weike's words, Sherlock immediately pulled out his phone from his four-dimensional pocket, ready to go for a suicidal attack. Fortunately, Zhao Weike reacted quickly and stopped Sherlock, pleading with him.

"No, no, no, calm down, isn't there good news too?"

The reason Zhao Weike was so desperate to stop Sherlock wasn't because he had any good intentions, but because he was worried that Sherlock would go on a rampage online and leak his dirt on him.

After all, compared to the Avengers, his own scandals are numbered 56, and who knows what else Sherlock has up his sleeve.

No matter what, Zhao Weike is the infamous Night Demon in the assassin world, so he still has some self-respect.

After much effort, Zhao Weike finally managed to calm Sherlock down. With a sigh of relief, Zhao Weike quickly shared the so-called good news.

"The good news is that although someone took a picture, no one could clearly see what Tony was actually pulling. The most common guess is that Tony pulled a big white pig, and that he might be going back to throw a whole pig feast party or something."

This has even led to rumors that Tony has started experimenting with things he should absolutely never do. Anyway, this hasn't affected you yet, so there's nothing to worry about.

Hearing Zhao Weike's words, Sherlock's expression was extremely strange, even though it was one of his embarrassing moments.

However, because of Tony's terrible reputation, it seems that perhaps, possibly, he was indirectly saved by Tony's reputation.

Seeing the incredibly conflicted and strange expression on Sherlock's face, which was even starting to distort, Zhao Weike breathed a sigh of relief and decisively changed the subject to try and divert Sherlock's attention.

"Okay, don't worry so much. Anyway, the fire won't get on you. By the way, didn't you leave with Tony? Why did you suddenly come back?"

Distracted by Zhao Weike, Sherlock temporarily ignored Tony's problem. He nimbly jumped off the table, ran to the medicine cabinet, and ate a handful of cold medicine before speaking to Zhao Weike.

"Quickly, contact Winston and tell him to prepare to take over the anomalies at S.H.I.E.L.D., and bring Anna and Mindy along as bodyguards and laborers. Don't even think about us going to S.H.I.E.L.D. for free!"

After saying this, Sherlock decisively ran out of the house. As he passed Zhao Weike's garden, he didn't forget to grab Doro, who was playing with Laura in the garden, before running towards his own garage.

In just a short while, Zhao Weike, who was on the phone, heard the roar of Sherlock's Raptor engine and the constant honking of Sherlock's horn.

Chapter 344 IRS: This is called reputation!

When Sherlock drove off, floored the gas pedal, and drifted into a parking space, stopping right in front of the Continental Hotel, Winston was already waiting for Sherlock with Charon at the hotel entrance.

Behind the two men stood four men dressed in combat uniforms and carrying rifles; clearly, these four were Winston's henchmen.

Looking at the 6x6 Raptor parked in front of them, Winston and Charon's lips twitched slightly. They regretted listening to Zhao Weike's advice on the phone and not bringing their own vehicle.

Sherlock's 6x6 Raptor was already quite large, but it was still a bit cramped for the six of them to sit on, not to mention the equipment they were wearing.

However, Zhao Weike, who was sitting in the passenger seat, didn't care. After seeing Winston, he raised his hand to greet him and then turned around and said something to the person behind him.

To Winston and Charon's utter bewilderment, the back seat of Sherlock's 6x6 Raptor was somehow opened from the inside.

Anna and Mindy, the two little girls, greeted Winston with smiles as they opened the car door. They were wearing the same combat uniforms as the armed men behind Winston, the only difference being that the two little girls' combat uniforms were pink.

The moment the car door opened, Winston, Charon, and the four combatants following behind them all instinctively widened their eyes.

The car door, which should have been the driver's side door, looked like a gateway to another world when it was opened.

The car door led to a spacious and bright living room, instead of the flat back seat that was supposed to be inside.

The most outrageous thing is that this huge living room is actually connected to the driver's cab at the front, and the size of the driver's cab is exactly the same.

Putting aside its appearance, it gives the feeling of entering a huge RV, or rather, a completely mismatched, large-bellied, teardrop-shaped RV.

Standing at the door of Sherlock's Raptor, Winston was just as full of questions as Wuxian was when he first visited Nezha's house.

Fortunately, Sherlock couldn't stand it any longer and yelled at Winston from the cockpit in a bad mood.

"What are you dawdling for? Lao Wen, get in the car!"

When Sherlock called out to him, Winston finally realized what was happening. He didn't pay any attention to how Sherlock addressed him, but instead stood by the carriage door and sighed.

"This really is..."

Before he could finish speaking, Anna pulled him into the car. After all, Anna and Winston had a past, so Anna still had feelings for Winston similar to those for Zhao Weike.

"Incredible!"

Fortunately, Charon finished Winston's sentence for him. Seeing that Winston was being pulled into the car by Anna, Charon straightened his clothes and followed Winston into the car, leaving the four combatants to exchange glances and then follow Charon into the car with great curiosity.

After everyone was on the bus, the moment the doors closed, Sherlock floored the accelerator and drove off toward Washington.

Of course, Sherlock wasn't stupid. Although the two places weren't too far apart and there was no need to actually drive there, he found a secluded spot and activated the Space Stone's teleportation ability, teleporting himself and his car directly to the outskirts of Washington.

Upon arriving in Washington, Sherlock immediately drove towards the S.H.I.E.L.D. Tri-Wing Building, fearing that if he arrived too late, he would miss the collapse of S.H.I.E.L.D. and be unable to participate in the free purchase.

However, Sherlock forgot one thing: in the movie, after the battle with the Winter Soldier, Captain America and Black Widow were actually captured. If Hill hadn't rescued them under Black Egg's orders, the entire plot of Captain America 2 might have been different.

Although Tony was involved this time, IRS also got involved.

The final result was still that Captain America and Black Widow were arrested, but this time it wasn't Hydra that arrested them, but the damn IRS!

That's right, the IRS guys actually brought in tanks and armed helicopters, acting like they were going to collect taxes from gangsters and drug dealers. They not only drove away Hydra, but also captured Captain America and Black Widow. Only Falcon and Tony, who can fly, escaped.

They demonstrated with their strength what it means to be the most powerful military organization in the United States.

In front of the IRS, whether it's S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra, or whether you're from the Falcon or the CIA, you all have to behave yourself before the IRS!

What the IRS can handle, the IRS will handle; what the IRS can't handle, the IRS will take care of! In front of the IRS, the CIA, S.H.I.E.L.D., Hydra—if they're dragons, they have to coil up; if they're tigers, they have to lie down. Constitutional privilege, acting first and asking questions later—that's the IRS!

Given the IRS's detention, let alone whether Black Egg could get him out, even if Tony came, it would be very difficult to get him out!

The final result was that Blackie had to ask Hill to do him a favor, and Tony and Falcon had to pay the fine. Only by working together could they barely get Captain America and Black Widow out of the IRS jail.

Then, just like in the movie, the group found the seriously injured Blackie at a secret S.H.I.E.L.D. base, or rather, Blackie's secret base. The group not only discussed how to deal with S.H.I.E.L.D., which had been infiltrated by Hydra, but Captain America and Tony even had an argument.

The argument was simply about which man's name couldn't be reversed.

In the end, Tony relented a little, but on the condition that Captain America prove Bucky did not kill his parents of his own volition, and that he help Tony find the real killer who killed his parents.

The captain agreed to this.

However, although all these events seemed normal, they caused Sherlock and his companions a lot of trouble.

Urged on by Sherlock, the group quickly arrived at the Tri-Wing Building. However, the Tri-Wing Building was not as bustling as Sherlock had imagined. On the contrary, the entire S.H.I.E.L.D. Tri-Wing Building was eerily quiet.

A group of people spent an entire day squatting around the area, but they still couldn't find anything different about the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.

The next morning, after a night's rest, the group returned to the vicinity of the Tri-Wing Tower. Winston stared intently at the Tri-Wing Tower in the distance through his binoculars for a while, then, looking at the still perfectly calm Tri-Wing Tower, asked Sherlock beside him with a hint of doubt.

"Sherlock, are you sure S.H.I.E.L.D. will be destroyed today? We can really break into S.H.I.E.L.D. and do it for free, right?"

"Don't worry! It's all covered!"

Sherlock answered without hesitation when Winston asked him the question. However, when Winston put down his telescope and looked in Sherlock's direction after hearing Sherlock's answer, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.

After much hesitation, Winston tentatively asked Sherlock.

"Even though we're going to S.H.I.E.L.D. for a free shopping spree, Sherlock, can't you be a little more dignified?"

Chapter 345 Winston: Is there really no more decent way?

The reason why the well-traveled Winston showed such an expression was quite simple: there were two figures, one large and one small, next to him.

The two figures, one large and one small, were both dressed in black combat uniforms, with a travel bag hanging on their shoulders. Next to them was an AK rifle that looked very old. The only difference was that the smaller figure had a children's version of the AK rifle next to him.

But that's not the main point. The main point is that both of them, one big and one small, had stockings over their heads!

The larger one was wearing a black stocking, with its two empty legs swaying in the wind behind it; the smaller one was wearing a fleshy stocking, with its two empty legs swaying in the wind behind it as well.

The outfits of this two people, one big and one small, are absolutely the classic attire of the US when robbing a bank, bar none!

Of course, if it were just Sherlock and Doro looking like that, Winston wouldn't have twitched his lips.

Although Sherlock sometimes appears mature, composed, and even has the air of a boss in front of him, Winston can understand that Sherlock is not a respectable person after seeing how he acts when facing the Avengers.

What truly left Winston speechless were the two figures next to Sherlock and Doro: Anna and Mindy!

The clothes worn by the two girls were basically the same as Sherlock's, the only difference being that the colors had been changed.

Anna was dressed in a black and blue combat uniform, with a light green stocking over her head. She even had the audacity to stuff some hair into her two empty legs that were swaying in the wind and put on two hair ties, making her look exactly like the ruthless bandit Luo Tianyi.
