Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

Fortunately, Doro stayed by Pepper's side the whole time, which put Sherlock at ease for the time being.

After seeing Happy and Flower off, the original team of four and a half was reduced to three and a half. They left through the back door of the hospital and returned to Tony's mansion.

As soon as he entered, Sherlock pulled out his phone from his tentacles and started recording Tony's mansion.

Seeing Sherlock's actions, Tony was still a little confused and rolled his eyes at Sherlock in annoyance.

"Can you shut up for a minute? Believe me, even if those bastards are bold, they wouldn't dare to run wild on my turf. Besides, do you really think the armor in my studio is just for show?"

Faced with Tony's complaints, Sherlock merely rolled his eyes and ignored him. Instead, he went to his workshop and used alchemy to create an alchemical ring resembling a dome shield, which he then gave to Pepper.

This thing can create a hard, spherical energy shield to protect Pepper the moment she is attacked. Combined with the healing necklace that Sherlock gave Pepper from the beginning, Pepper's safety should not be a concern.

Furthermore, Sherlock was certain that as long as Doro stayed by Pepper's side, Killian wouldn't be able to do anything to Pepper, no matter how hard he tried.

Unexpectedly, throughout the entire day, Tony's mansion was not attacked by Killian and his mercenaries in helicopters as depicted in the movies.

Instead, Tony's mansion was attacked by reporters and fans!

Almost immediately after Tony announced his address, reporters were already staking out the vicinity of his mansion. In just one afternoon, by the next morning, the mailboxes at Tony's mansion were overflowing with letters from fans!

Chapter 450 Tony, comparable to Ruby Lin

"My hair? What the hell is this? Tony, do you really not have any secret hobbies?"

Sherlock slammed the rather offensive nude photo on the table and looked at Tony across from him with a disdainful expression, asking him a question.

After hearing Sherlock's words, Tony didn't say anything. Instead, he silently put down the 'fan letters' in his hand, picked them all up in front of Sherlock, and threw them into his fireplace, then lit a fire in the fireplace.

As for why these things ended up on their dining table, the story begins in the morning.

Because Tony revealed his address, the two of them barely slept last night. Sherlock and Tony took turns keeping watch to get through the long night.

After the sun rose, to their utter surprise, the first thing that came was not Killian's attack, but a large package of 'fan letters' delivered by the postman.

With nothing better to do, the two of them enthusiastically began unpacking the large sack of fan mail inside the restaurant.

Even Little Chili, who had just gotten up, was attracted by the two's actions. However, Little Chili did not join in; she just watched for a moment before rolling her eyes and running off to cook.

The reason why Little Chili reacted this way is actually quite simple: a large portion of the so-called 'fan letters' are nude photos!

Given Tony's past reputation as a playboy, it's not hard to understand why he received some nude photos as a form of courtship, especially in the relatively open-minded United States.

But what Sherlock couldn't understand was why a large portion of these nude photos were sent by men?

It's one thing if it's about men, but most of the photos are the kind that Sherlock Holmes saw in the Taobao shop Bear Claw in his past life!

No, is that right?

And nobody the hell told me Tony was so popular?

Of course, Tony himself had the same question as Sherlock.

Although Tony himself knew how his status as the richest man attracted women, it was the first time his mother, Tony, had realized that he also had the same attraction to men!

However, when Sherlock's gaze fell on Tony's face, he instantly understood why this had happened.

It can only be said that Tony neglected his own charm because his eyes were focused on the beautiful woman the whole time.

What was that saying again? Round face, slightly chubby, with a full beard, Ruby Lin on Chunxi Road!

Although Tony doesn't fit the description of a round face or a slightly chubby figure, his sexy beard, handsome face, and the added bonus of his "rich woman" status make his popularity quite understandable.

However, while he understood, he couldn't make Sherlock comprehend it.

You should know that there were more than just letters in that sack; there were also quite a few packages!

As for what was inside the package, unfortunately, neither Sherlock nor Tony had any desire to open it, especially after seeing the contents of those so-called 'letters'.

You could say that perverts exist everywhere, but they're most prevalent in the US, wouldn't you say? Father.

Thanks to the Pandora's box called "Fan Letters" that the two opened out of curiosity, even at breakfast time, Sherlock and Tony were in a quantum superposition state of "wanting to eat" and "feeling disgusted".

The two men's reactions made Xiao La Jiao laugh heartily, and she even seized on this to tease them relentlessly, saying that she wouldn't mind having a 'male best friend'.

The more Chili Pepper talked, the more curious she became. If Tony were to be with her 'male best friend,' should Tony be on top or on the bottom? Tony's face turned green as he listened.

Of course, Sherlock wasn't much better.

The meal was both delicious and disgusting, and Little Chili was probably the only one in the entire villa who was in the best mood.

What? You mean Doro? This little pink fluffy ball is still sleeping soundly in bed, snot bubbles coming out of his nose. Little Chili plans to bring breakfast into the bedroom after dinner so that Doro can eat it after he wakes up.

However, when Pepper took Doro's breakfast to wake up the 'little tyrant', Jarvis's voice rang out at that moment.

"Sir, there is a lady at the door who calls herself Maya Hansen and wants to visit you."

???

Upon hearing Jarvis's words, Tony's forehead was filled with three huge question marks. He had no recollection of knowing this Ms. Maya Hansen and almost instinctively wanted to refuse her.

However, Jarvis's next words made Tony swallow his refusal.

"Sir, according to my records, this Ms. Maya Hansen should be one of your former companions, and now one of the key partners at AIM..."

When Jarvis got to this point, Tony raised his hand to stop him from continuing. After all, Pepper was in the room, and if Jarvis said something he shouldn't, Pepper would inevitably bring up his past mistakes.

Especially considering that Little Chili had spent some time alone with Sister Hua, a woman who could be described as a 'psychological trauma'.

Left with no other choice, Tony had to let Ms. Maya into his villa.

On the contrary, after hearing Jarvis's words, Sherlock whistled, told Tony that he would handle the 'bastard children' problem, and then left the living room for the studio amidst Tony's raised middle finger.

It wasn't that Sherlock didn't want to stay in the living room and listen to Tony's gossip, but rather that Sherlock's current status made it really inappropriate for him to wander around outside.

After all, nobody knows what this so-called Mayan lady is really like. If she's a blabbermouth, tomorrow's headlines might be something like "Iron Man's Villa Keeps an Evil God" or "Strange Creatures Appear in Iron Man's Villa: Is This an Abuse of Biotechnology?"

Regardless of which one it was, Sherlock had no desire to have his tentacle monster appearance appear on the front page of the news.

Therefore, for Sherlock, leaving the living room and going to the workshop to put on the makeshift armor he had created for himself was the right choice.

However, to Sherlock's utter surprise, just as he had stuffed all the tentacles into his armor and adjusted their positions, a violent explosion rang out above his head.

Immediately following was the sound of Tony's damn anti-Tony armor activating behind him. Before Sherlock could even react, he was spun around in mid-air by that damned anti-Tony armor and fell headfirst to the ground.

Chapter 451 The Battle of the Mansions

The situation was urgent, and Sherlock didn't care about anything else. After getting up, he cursed and sprinted upstairs in his armor.

Because Sherlock's armor was made on the spot, it does not have the ability to fly, nor does it even have a weapon system. Apart from the most basic bulletproof effect achieved by the materials themselves, it can be said that it has no other functions at all.

Therefore, Sherlock could only run upstairs while protecting his head with his hands.

The moment Sherlock entered the living room, he saw that Dr. Maya had been knocked unconscious by the blast wave. Pepper Potts and Doro were unharmed thanks to the ring Sherlock had given them, and Tony was already wearing the armor that Sherlock had jokingly called his antithesis.

"Tony, what are you doing? Fight back!"

The moment Sherlock saw the situation before him, he roared at Tony, and while he was roaring, Sherlock himself was not idle either.

Suddenly, two openings appeared on the back of the armor, and two thick tentacles shot out from inside the armor, wrapping around Chili Pepper and Doro, who were protected by the Dome Shield, while the other wrapped around the unconscious Maya, throwing these 'non-combat personnel' out of the villa.

Meanwhile, Sherlock slammed his hands on the ground, activating his weakened alchemy and desperately trying to maintain the condition of the entire villa.

It must be said that Tony's villa is definitely of high quality in the United States, where wood is the main material. Both the concrete used in its construction and the steel bars inside are of high quality, which greatly reduces the difficulty for Sherlock to repair it using alchemy.

However, what Tony said after hearing Sherlock's roar made Sherlock feel quite uncomfortable.

"Fuck! You think I don't want to? The armor's systems haven't been activated yet, I'm in the same boat as you!"

Hearing Tony's words, Sherlock was speechless. Seriously, it's absolutely true that this Mark 42 armor is the anti-Tony armor!

"Fuck you! Cooperate with me!"

Thanks to the current situation, even if Sherlock had a lot of complaints, he could only swallow his curses for the time being and focus on the situation at hand.

But he had already made up his mind that he would definitely teach that bastard Tony a lesson later!

While mentally ranting about Tony, he maintained his alchemy and manipulated his tentacles to wrap around a piano in the living room and violently fling it towards a helicopter outside.

Seemingly reminded by Sherlock's actions, Tony also reacted, suddenly picking up a piece of wreckage and throwing it at another helicopter. Then, he pried open the missile launcher on his armor arm, manually took out a missile, threw it at a helicopter, and detonated it with his palm cannon.

Almost in the blink of an eye, three of the six helicopters that had come to Tony's villa were destroyed by the two men working together.

However, the problem is that there are still three helicopters, and these three helicopters had already distanced themselves from the villa while Tony and Sherlock were coordinating, and directly unleashed another wave of firepower on the villa.

"Fake!"

Seeing the saturation firepower launched by the other side, Sherlock cursed subconsciously and decisively abandoned the idea of ​​repairing the villa. Alchemy was replaced by prioritizing the protection of himself and Tony.

As Sherlock's alchemy altered the situation, the villa, which had stopped collapsing, began to groan once more, and Sherlock and Tony were firmly protected by the rocky shell that rose from the ground.

Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom!

With the full-scale bombardment from three other helicopters, the massive explosions almost echoed along the coastline.

Tony's mansion could not withstand such massive firepower and began to collapse and fall into the sea below.

Meanwhile, Tony, protected by the rock shell created by Sherlock using alchemy, was not injured, but was still dazed and confused by the shockwave of the explosion.

As the rocky outer shell shattered from the explosion, Tony was thrown into the sea below along with the wreckage of the villa.

Sherlock wasn't in much better shape, but because he had transformed into a tentacle monster, he didn't feel completely disoriented; most of the impact was absorbed by the tentacles.

Although I didn't faint, it really hurt!

Sherlock felt as if he were experiencing the Cruciatus Curse, one of the three Unforgivable Curses, and even the slightest movement would cause a wave of excruciating pain.

Despite this, Sherlock, who inherited the soul of a rabbit, always possessed a tenacious spirit.

Driven by a ruthless determination to drag others down with him even in the face of certain death, Sherlock endured the excruciating pain and used the two tentacles outside his armor to grab onto two of the three helicopters in the air, despite the villa's floor beginning to tilt and slide towards the sea below.

It dragged both helicopters down into the sea.

To be fair, Killian was incredibly lucky. In a situation where he had to choose two out of three, the helicopter he was in managed to escape Sherlock's tentacles and became the sole survivor.

Sitting in the airplane cabin, Killian looked at the mansion that had been reduced to wreckage, and then at the helicopter that had been dragged into the sea. His face showed no concern for his men, only the pleasure of revenge.

He patted the pilot on the shoulder and had the helicopter turn around and leave.

Almost immediately after Killian left, a figure burst out of the sea and flew eastward.

Meanwhile, beneath the villa, Sherlock's armor was pinned down by a massive amount of wreckage, leaving him no gap whatsoever. He tried to use his tentacles to escape, but with no room to maneuver, he could only struggle in the icy seawater.

Sherlock was left with only two options: either abandon his armor and hide in the form of a tentacle monster, or drown in the icy sea.
