Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

I knew you Americans were up to something, but I didn't expect it to be this elaborate!

What's even more infuriating is that Sherlock felt like his brain was about to boil over and he still couldn't figure out how Tiffany had managed to brainwash Anya, this natural airhead, in less than three days, to the point that she agreed to such a perverted love triangle.

Even putting all that aside, Sherlock was genuinely amazed by Tiffany's wild imagination.

God the hell, intersex people!

This thing was something Sherlock had never heard of in his two lifetimes, and he couldn't possibly create it even if he wanted to! No, to be more precise, no alchemist throughout history has ever had a mind as wild as Tiffany's!

Moreover, even setting aside his strange gender, Sherlock could not understand the situation before him.

A family of three? Living together? Is that even right?

Sherlock's simple values ​​were simply unacceptable and unimaginable, just as Lao Tzu had seen the 79 genders on the American side.

Of course, Sherlock might be more 'restrained' in his performance.

After listening to Tiffany's 'advice' that was enough to shatter his worldview, Sherlock stood up expressionlessly, mechanically walked into the airplane's lavatory, and locked the door with a click.

The cabin was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, and everyone silently focused their attention on the direction of the restroom.

Five minutes later, Sherlock's desperate screams finally came from the toilet.

"Aaaaaaah!!!! Damn it, get out of my head! Stop imagining this awful scene!!!!"

The instant Sherlock's shout rang out, a burst of uniform laughter erupted in the cabin. Indeed, almost everyone in the cabin was watching Sherlock's antics.

The laughter became even more joyful after Tony accidentally discovered Sherlock's post on social media five minutes earlier.

"Help! How can I wash my brain with water?! I need help urgently!"

After Tony loudly read aloud Sherlock's post from five minutes earlier, the laughter in the cabin noticeably grew louder; after all, Sherlock's antics were truly quite rare.

Even Tiffany and Anya, the instigators, exchanged a smile, but they both saw a hint of sadness in each other's eyes despite their smiles.

Yes, the 'show' just now could be considered a prank on Sherlock, but it wasn't entirely a prank.

The incident stemmed from a unique encounter Anya and Tiffany had during their time as rabbits. This memorable experience occurred when Sherlock and his Red Right Hand Squad were having a wild time with Er Mao.

While Sherlock was out having fun with the Red Right Hand Squad, Anya and Tiffany, who were alone together, did develop feelings for each other that only men and women could have, and it was Sherlock who was the bond between them.

The two even actually discussed their future with Sherlock, and even used it as a way to spice up their dates.

However, everything came to an abrupt end during what seemed like a normal date.

That day, the two were having dinner in a very private restaurant, which could be considered a date during their ambiguous period, except that the conversation always revolved around Sherlock.

Just as the two were enjoying their meal and conversation, the door to the private room was suddenly opened, and an old man with a gentle smile and meticulously combed hair walked in on his own.

He then found a spot on the huge round table, far away from both of them, and, ignoring Tiffany's dangerous gaze and Anya's questioning look, began to speak to them.

“Miss Anya, Miss Tiffany, please allow me to address you as such. You can call me Old Zhang. Currently, I am considered one of Sherlock’s partners. I would like to talk to you about Sherlock.”

Chapter 650: A Reminder from the Rabbit Official Team

Looking at the old man in front of her, who was not very talkative, Tiffany's vigilance instantly spiked, and she almost instinctively tightened her grip on the knife in her hand.

The reason is simple: the man who called himself Old Zhang immediately identified himself as Miss Tiffany!

In other words, the person in front of her was clearly implying that her past, the past she had hidden as a woman, was no secret to the man in front of her, and that he might even know exactly how she had done it.

Old Zhang, of course, could see Tiffany's wariness. He smiled gently, waved to Tiffany, and then continued speaking.

"Don't be nervous, Miss Tiffany. I have no ill intentions. I am only here to give you both a reminder."

After saying this, Old Zhang paused, not waiting for Tiffany and Anya's reply, or rather ignoring their reactions, and continued speaking on his own.

"As far as I know, you seem to have come with the Avengers' plane, which is both good and bad."

The Avengers are now being targeted by the five major philanthropic organizations, which means that they have an extremely powerful network of connections, but also an extremely dangerous one.

Sherlock, this seemingly reckless and even somewhat unethical character, is arguably the most prominent star in the entire Avengers cast, and also the biggest variable in the eyes of the five good guys.

Old Zhang stopped talking at this point. Anya probably didn't understand what Old Zhang meant, and was even a little confused, but Tiffany understood what Old Zhang meant in an instant.

Simply put, the entire Avengers have now caught the eye of the five great philanthropists. This means that contacting them could bring unexpected benefits, but it would also come with enormous risks.

The first half of Old Zhang's speech was a reminder to her not to get too close to the Avengers, and to just keep them as 'ordinary friends'.

This is the safest distance for her and her family to associate themselves with the Avengers and gain some benefits. Beyond this distance, neither the Five Great Philanthropists nor the US will let Tiffany's family off the hook.

The latter half serves as a reminder of the distance between the two women and Sherlock.

The latter part, translated into plain language, means that neither Tiffany's family nor Anya's influence can guarantee their survival in this storm centered on Sherlock, with the Avengers as the main characters and the five good guys as the framework.

In short, they are not qualified to stand beside Sherlock!

Most importantly, the old Zhang in front of me, both in his clothes and his demeanor, clearly belonged to the official Rabbit side, which meant that these words were what the Rabbit official side wanted to say to me.

This gave Tiffany a fright and made her break out in a cold sweat.

Keep in mind that this reminder was given to her out of respect for Sherlock. If it were the U.S. military, which doesn't have a good relationship with Sherlock, they might have already taken direct action against Tiffany's family and Anya.

They could even ensure that they or their families would die without ever knowing how they died.

More likely, the US may have already begun to make plans and take actions against the two of them or their families, which is what makes Tiffany feel most afraid and desperate.

However, Old Zhang didn't seem to be in a hurry. When he saw the fear in Tiffany's eyes, he already knew that this girl—well, let's just call her girl—had probably understood his meaning.

He smiled, stood up, straightened his clothes, and then continued speaking to Tiffany.

"Don't panic, Miss Tiffany. The additional clauses in the contract you signed in the capital a few days ago are designed to protect you, your family, and even Miss Anya. However, you might need to consult with someone who is relatively familiar with Sherlock regarding the details."

After saying this, Old Zhang smiled, nodded slightly to the two of them, and then continued.

"That's all I have to say, Miss Tiffany, Miss Anya. I'm sorry to have disturbed your enjoyment. All the expenses for this private room will be on my tab, as compensation for this old man interrupting your 'date'."

After saying this, Lao Zhang turned around and left the private room, leaving Anya looking bewildered and Tiffany feeling lingering fear.

After Lao Zhang left, Tiffany almost immediately took out her phone and called Pepper Potts, whom she was relatively familiar with. Through Pepper Potts, she contacted Tony and repeated Lao Zhang's words to him in detail.

Tony, who was sightseeing, turned as black as the bottom of a pot after hearing Tiffany's report, and subconsciously cursed.

"What a bunch of damned, heartless maggots!"

After saying that, he hung up the phone and began to work with Pepper Potts to mobilize Stark Industries' resources. Ten minutes later, Tony called Tiffany again.

"There should be nothing to worry about now, but you really can't get too close to Sherlock. Someone has their eyes on you. They did have some bad plans for you, but I thwarted them."

This time, Tiffany's call was on speakerphone, so both Anya and Tiffany could hear Tony's words. In the ten minutes that Tony had just hung up, Tiffany had briefly explained the situation to Anya.

Both of them felt as if they had escaped a disaster after hearing Tony's words.

"Thank you, Mr. Stark."

After hearing Tony's response, Anya thanked him honestly. However, to Anya's surprise, Tony's serious and upright image was completely shattered the next second.

"I saw on Rabbit's website that you two are dating? Is it true?"

As Tony's question rang out on the phone, that carefree, playboy-esque feeling was instantly transmitted to Anya and Tiffany on the other end of the line, causing them to blush deeply and not know how to answer Tony.

Tony, on the other hand, who had been through it all, understood the situation instantly after realizing that there was no response from the other side.

After Anya and Tiffany heard a few suppressed laughs coming from the phone, Tony's voice finally rang out again.

"Alright, stop worrying. I'll handle things between you and Sherlock."

After saying that, Tony hung up the phone decisively. However, for some reason, Anya and Tiffany felt that Tony's tone had a strange sense of anticipation and playfulness when he said that.

A bad feeling began to spread in their hearts.

Less than five minutes later, their phones started buzzing with various message notifications. When they took out their phones and saw the messages, their bad premonition instantly became a reality.

Sherlock's prank squad?

Anya and Tiffany were stunned by the rapidly refreshing messages in the group chat and the fact that almost everyone on the plane was present except for Sherlock.

No, is that right?

However, as the messages in the group kept refreshing, the two of them gradually developed a strange feeling that 'it wouldn't be bad to make fun of Sherlock'?

After all, it's quite rare for a renowned alchemist to be put in such a difficult position!

Chapter 651 A Bold Plan

Sherlock never imagined he would stumble one day; it just goes to show that if you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet.

I used to be the one with the most wicked sense of humor, always playing pranks on others. I never imagined that one day I would be the one being pranked by this group of bastards! The worst part is that I didn't even notice a single flaw in their pranks the whole time!

After learning the truth, Sherlock was so angry that he almost burned the plane to pieces, wanting everyone on board to have a thrilling diving experience in the Pacific Ocean.

Unfortunately, Sherlock's bold idea was completely suppressed by Hana, who even forced Ainz Ooal Gown's signature passive ability, "Forced Calm," with Hana's help.

After all, Sherlock couldn't afford to be calm. No one could accept Sister Hua's sobbing technique; it would shake his brain to its core while simultaneously providing some kind of treatment.

Of course, when Sherlock transformed into an ice pop inside Meatball's mouth, Wanda and Quicksilver, who had been 'modified' by Sherlock in the same way, were incredibly excited.

Although on the surface they were just laughing and taking pictures of Sherlock's embarrassing moments with their phones, inside they were practically rolling on the floor with excitement, and they kept giving Sister Hua meaningful glances, hoping she would go all out.

Unfortunately, Sister Hua didn't understand what the two little guys were thinking, and after Sherlock calmed down, she had Meatball spit Sherlock out.

To be honest, Wanda and Quicksilver were a little disappointed when they saw Sherlock being spat out.

As for Sherlock?

What could Sherlock say after calming down? Although the idea of ​​a 'family of three' was mostly a joke, it was true that Anya and Tiffany had feelings for each other.

To be honest, these two are a match made in heaven.

Tiffany, having been a woman herself, naturally understood women's thoughts exceptionally well. There was no inherent barrier between the two, and moreover, they were a perfect match in terms of both family matters and appearance.

Tiffany needs Anya's exposure, while Anya can gain protection and resources from Tiffany's family. Combined with the connections of the PAB organization, it's a powerful alliance between the two sides, which isn't a bad thing.

Sherlock sincerely wished the two well, without a trace of reluctance or resentment.

After all, Sherlock knew from the beginning that he and these two were not from the same world. Getting too close would not be a good thing for either of them or for himself. Besides, Sherlock was not a procrastinator to begin with.

Even if he had genuine feelings for Anya in the past, after venting his emotions through a heavy drinking session, he had already let go of Sherlock.

Never engaging in internal strife is one of the few virtues Sherlock possessed throughout his two lives.

Of course, the idea that one should not get too close does not mean breaking off relations.

In fact, after this trip, Anya and Tiffany have become part of Sherlock's circle of friends. However, due to their different identities and powers, they can only be considered 'ordinary friends' on the surface.
