Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

Since we didn't catch Little Chili, some things have to change.

Most importantly, after the battle with Doro, all of Kirian's pride was crushed to dust by Doro in an extremely effortless way.

Killian now clearly understands that when facing top-tier combat power, his seemingly omnipotent Extremis virus is not as omnipotent as it appears.

Chapter 460 A Siege

With his subordinates gone, only Killian's breathing could be heard in the large office. The soft and comfortable executive chair beneath him did not bring Killian any sense of security.

Killian even had a sense of absurdity, as if every major event in his life seemed inseparable from the damned name Tony Stark.

The rooftop humiliation a few years ago led to the appointment of Maya as a general. Maya's research on the Extremis virus gave Killian his current status. Even the development of the Extremis virus to the point where it can be absorbed by the human body is inseparable from the formula left behind by Tony and Maya after their one-night stand.

Now, relying on the formula Tony casually left behind, the Extremis virus has reached its limit in their hands. If they want to go further, or even eliminate the side effects and instability of the Extremis virus, they still have to rely on the man he hates the most!

This feeling of disgust yet being forced to engage, and even having something to ask for, made Killian's expression increasingly distorted. In the empty office, Killian slowly raised one of his hands.

As the Extremis virus was activated, flames like veins began to appear on Killian's body, and his raised hand gradually became scorching hot, so hot that the surrounding air was distorted by the heat.

After a long while, Killian seemed to have made a decision. The madness in his eyes intensified. He casually dissipated the heat from his hands and called back his men who had just retreated.

"Do you still have the video footage of Tanya being injected with the Extremis virus?"

"Of course, boss, all the experimental data has been kept."

The subordinate answered Killian with some confusion, but Killian did not smile upon hearing the reply. Instead, after pondering for a while, he gave his orders to the subordinate.

"Find someone to replace Tanya's face with Tony's mistress's. Even though we didn't catch that woman, it won't stop us from using her to deceive Tony."

At this point, Kiri paused, a twisted smile appearing on his face, and continued speaking to his subordinates.

"Get those guys moving faster. After we get that metal box clown back, we need to get Yuri inside to kidnap our dear president."

Since we failed to catch Tony's lover, Plan B must not go wrong. I want to see if that bastard Tony can compromise under the guise of justice!

No, even if Tony compromises, I will make sure he forever bears the stigma of causing the president's death!

Upon hearing Killian's statement, the bald, bearded subordinate did not refute it. He simply nodded and turned to leave, beginning to carry out the tasks arranged by Killian.

Unbeknownst to Killian, a crackdown targeting him was also quietly underway on the other side.

When Captain America was separated from War Machine by those heartless maggots in the Middle East, he sensed something was wrong. However, due to the surveillance of those heartless maggots, even though Captain America sensed something was wrong, he couldn't get close to War Machine or give him any hints.

Therefore, the captain could only learn some of the tricks of Killian's group during the mission and then disappeared during the mission.

The reason why the captain wasn't worried about Rhode's situation was simple: as long as Rhode wasn't foolish enough to leave the metal shell, he would be absolutely safe. The captain already knew this from his previous contact with Tony.

The first thing Captain Sherlock did after his 'disappearance' was to use Black Widow's connections to return directly to the United States. On the way, Captain Sherlock saw the messages Black Widow sent, including Sherlock's arrangements for the deputy minister.

Upon his secret return to the US, Captain America immediately contacted Black Widow and then headed towards Killian's hideout based on the address she provided.

The captain wasn't stupid. Rather than letting those black-hearted maggots lure him around the world under the guise of eliminating terrorists, it would be more efficient to find a way to directly end the source of everything.

What the captain didn't know was that Sherlock and Tony had already arrived near Killian's manor.

"Sherlock, I'm asking you one more time, are you really not coming in with me?"

Hearing Tony's question, Sherlock rolled his eyes in annoyance, pointed to the various handcrafted equipment on Tony's body, and then spoke to Tony.

"This is your war, what am I going in for? Get out of the car now, these flies and mosquitoes aren't even worth a slap from me."

Then again, if you can't even handle these things, what kind of Iron Man are you? You should just go home and have kids with Pepper.

After saying this, Sherlock kicked Tony out of the car without saying a word, even under Tony's extremely resentful gaze.

However, Sherlock didn't go too far. After leaving, he parked the car on the side of the road, quietly took out a drone, and flew it away. After all, although he said he wasn't worried, Sherlock wasn't entirely at ease letting Tony face those monsters on his own.

However, Tony's performance still surprised Sherlock.

Sherlock was dumbfounded as this guy easily scaled the wall and, using a weapon made from the principle of a potato gun, effortlessly and happily took down two guards.

"Wait, when did this guy's shooting skills get so good?"

Sherlock didn't understand, Sherlock was greatly shocked.

However, just like in the movie, Tony was eventually captured alive by Killian's men.

Just as Sherlock was about to go in to rescue him, he saw Killian's men unloading Rhodes from a truck and carrying him into the villa.

Of course, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that Sherlock saw a sneaky figure on the other side of the wall.

Compared to this furtive figure, Tony's 'infiltration' was as childish as that of a three-year-old.

Most importantly, Sherlock recognized this furtive figure, and was even very familiar with him, given the distinctive round shield on his back.

"Captain? Wasn't he eating sand in the Middle East? How come he's here?"

Honestly, if the captain weren't currently in Killian's lair, Sherlock would have really wanted to call him and ask what was going on.

However, it was clear that Sherlock did not have that chance; a figure crashed through the roof of the manor and flew out.

Judging from the images captured by the drone, the flying figure is Rhodes' war machine, or rather, Iron Patriot now.

Shortly after the Iron Patriot was launched, the so-called 'Anti-Tony Armor' Mark 42 also streaked into Killian's manor like a meteor, leaving a long trail of flame.

Sherlock was completely bewildered upon seeing this.

No, what exactly happened?

Chapter 461 Is it wrong for a man to be a little perverted?

With so much time having passed since the events of Iron Man 3, Sherlock could barely remember that the mastermind was Killian and that the power he used was called the Extremis Virus; he had basically forgotten everything else.

Therefore, after seeing this dramatic situation, Sherlock could no longer sit still. He put away the carriage and rushed straight into Killian's manor.

When Sherlock rushed in, the entire manor was filled with armed personnel lying on the ground, their lives hanging in the balance. Clearly, Captain Tony and Rhodes, who had apparently escaped, were no pushovers.

After Sherlock followed the trail of the battle all the way in, he finally found everyone in a room.

The actor who played the 'Mandarin' was a nobody extra; the captain was Tony in his armor; and Rhodey was wearing a casual shirt.

"Rhodes? Didn't you fly away?"

The moment Sherlock saw Rhodes, he stared in utter astonishment at the black man standing in the room.

When Rhodes heard Sherlock's words, his expression was indescribable. How could he explain it to Sherlock that the armor had been controlled by Ivan Vanko once, and that the military, dissatisfied with the high investment required to cooperate with Tony, had found a replacement, Vanguard Technology.

Then his own armor was compromised again because the people from Vanguard Technology left a backdoor.

Rhodes felt that what he said would definitely make Sherlock laugh his head off. The black man was so embarrassed that his face turned red before he finally managed to utter three words.

"I've been hacked!"

???

Upon hearing Rhodes's words, Sherlock looked at Tony, who was wearing Mark 42, with a head full of question marks, and the meaning in his eyes was very clear.

'Is your armor so easy to hack?'

Not only Sherlock, but even the captain looked at Tony with a bit of curiosity, after all, compared to Tony, Rhodey's armor had been hacked far too many times.

If we compare the armor to wives, Rhodes already has two green hats on his head, and that's just the known ones; who knows how many more he has.

On the other hand, after seeing Sherlock's puzzled look and Captain America's curious look, Tony ripped off his mask and shrugged at the two of them with an almost obnoxious grin.

"It's not my fault, it's just that his password was so simple."

Almost instantly, the two men fixed their gazes on Rhodes. Under their stares, Rhodes was speechless. He opened his mouth several times but couldn't find the words. In the end, he could only give up and say to the two men as if he was giving up.

"War Machines is awesome, all in capital letters. Okay, you can start laughing now."

"Hahahahahahahaha!" *4

Seeing that Rhodes had given up struggling and revealed his password, the four people in the room burst into laughter, especially Tony, who laughed the loudest.

What made it even more unbearable was that the actor, whose real name was Mandarin, laughed along with everyone after hearing Rhodes's password. But the next second, Rhodes pressed a pistol against Mandarin's head.

Feeling the cold touch of the gun barrel on his head, Mandarin almost instantly withdrew his bared teeth.

But Rod seemed to be still not satisfied, and despite the laughter of the crowd, he vented his resentment on Mandarin.

"What the hell are you laughing at! Do you know you're making Killian a scapegoat? You're an actor, you're not acting anymore, you're going to be a terrorist, what are you after? And you still have the nerve to laugh?"

However, to Rhodes' utter surprise, Mandarin was quite a ruthless person. After hearing Rhodes' words, she cautiously looked at the gun in Rhodes' hand while fawningly complaining to Rhodes.

"Of course I know, but I can't refuse. He's offering just too much! Besides, if I were to honestly be an actor, I wouldn't get any roles!"

Hearing Mandarin's words, Sherlock was also a little curious and looked at the scapegoat who was actually an actor and asked.

What did he give you?

"$100,000 a day, plus the freedom to eat and do whatever I want when I'm not filming, with plenty of women, drinks, and food!"

At this point, Mandarin paused strangely, then a fanatical look appeared on his face as he continued.

"Of course, none of that is the most important thing. The most important thing is that he gave me a bottle of Julia Roberts' bathwater, along with a set of her lingerie and her worn high heels! That's my idol! That's Julia Roberts! Can you understand?"

"Hiss~" *4

Unlike Mandarin, Sherlock and the others almost collectively gasped after hearing what this guy said.

“I can understand a man having some unknown perverted little hobbies, but this is too perverted! Rhodes, why don’t you just shoot? I think this pervert’s existence is somewhat affecting the appearance of the city.”

Sherlock gave Tony a look and then spoke to Rhodes.

Tony understood Sherlock's meaning almost instantly and immediately nodded to Rhodes.

"Sherlock may be a bit of a scoundrel, but this time I'm on Sherlock's side. Shoot, Rhodes."

Seeing Tony and Sherlock working together, the captain, though not understanding what they were trying to do, knew that even if Mandarin was somewhat perverted, he didn't deserve to die.

However, although he understood, the captain did not expose their little scheme. Instead, he looked serious and even pretended to think about it seriously before nodding and speaking to Rhodes.

“I agree with Tony and Sherlock.”

When Mandarin heard what the captain said, his eyes almost popped out of their sockets. As for Rhodes, he had met Tony and Sherlock before, so how could he not know the wickedness in their heads?

He nodded quite readily and, without saying a word, pulled the bolt back.

As the click of the pistol's bolt being pulled back rang out, and the unique coldness of the metal barrel returned to Mandarin's head, he shuddered violently, raised his hands, and roared at the three men.

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me! I'm still useful. I know what Killian is going to do next. I've already prepared a video for him. I'll tell you everything as long as you don't kill me."

At this point, Mandarin paused, a fleeting look of conflict crossing his face, before continuing to roar at the group.
