Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

At least aside from online, in real life, if we really wanted to meet, the only way would we be able to do so would be within the PAB community.

However, to be fair, although both of them have invitations to the PAB club from Sherlock, they probably haven't been to the PAB club yet. Hopefully, they won't be scared off by the bunch of bastards in the PAB club.

Clearly, none of the people on the plane who knew exactly what the PAB club was like had any intention of telling these two newbies what the PAB club was all about. After all, getting newcomers drunk was one of the PAB club's little surprises.

For Sherlock, the biggest benefit might be that after seeing Tiffany and Anya's situation, the three of them stopped urging Sherlock to find a partner.

After all, the reality was clearly not as simple as they imagined. There was far too much behind Sherlock's title of alchemist. The three of them formally apologized to Sherlock, Tiffany, and Anya for this.

Sherlock breathed a sigh of relief, finally free from the dreaded pressure to get married.

After we've finished researching the fun stuff, the next thing we need to do is research the problem of those heartless maggots.

After listening to the conversation between Tiffany, Anya, and Old Zhang, Sherlock's reaction was exactly the same as Tony's; he almost instinctively cursed out.

Meanwhile, Tony also shared some of the things he had discovered with Sherlock.

Because of Sherlock's series of questionable actions, the benefits that the U.S. actually gained from Hydra were far less than those from China and Russia, which led to those ruthless maggots breaching their defenses.

With their defenses breached, the wicked villains naturally wanted to use their brains to find ways to recoup the benefits they hadn't gotten from Hydra through the Avengers, and Sherlock, who possessed alchemy skills, was naturally their primary target.

This is the main reason why that group of people wanted to take action against Anya, Tiffany, and Sherlock as soon as they learned of their connection and managed to control them.

However, the group of wicked maggots' supposedly secretive actions were exposed by Lao Zhang, and their plans against the two of them failed due to Tony's resistance.

These are all clandestine activities that cannot be brought to the light of day and will not be made public.

However, although this operation against Sherlock failed, it doesn't mean that those black-hearted maggots will give up their idea of ​​profiting from the Avengers.

Therefore, if the Avengers want to continue living under the U.S. flag, they'd better have a complete plan to deal with these black-hearted maggots.

After listening to Tony's analysis, Sherlock's eyes darted around, and with a mischievous grin, he pulled Tony and the Captain into the bedroom at the tail of the plane for a small, closed-door meeting.

In this closed-door meeting with only three people, they came up with a series of plans to deal with those black-hearted maggots.

First, let's look at the Avengers.

Because Sherlock intervened in the Sokovia incident, according to the original timeline, the Sokovia incident not only did not become the starting point for the Avengers' reputation to fall as it did in the original work, but instead greatly enhanced the Avengers' reputation.

This is not a good thing for the Avengers. As the saying goes, the tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled by the wind. The Avengers' immense prestige will only make those black-hearted maggots even more uneasy.

This is especially true in the United States, a country where votes are the primary factor.

It's important to understand that with their immense prestige, the Avengers now possess the ability to threaten their own position.

With just one small election, Tony provides the funding, Sherlock provides the benefits, and Captain America provides the prestige. With the three parties united, ascending to the presidency is as easy as drinking water.

This is definitely not the outcome those heartless maggots want to see, so if no one in the team is interested in moving into that white house, the Avengers' best course of action right now is to lower their reputation.

Chapter 652 Justice League?

Sherlock's original plan was to lower the Avengers' reputation and reduce the attention the Five Good Men would pay to them, but when Tony mentioned the White House, Sherlock's eyes lit up.

At the same time, the moment Sherlock's eyes lit up, it meant someone was about to suffer.

Sure enough, after Tony said those words, Sherlock immediately changed his plan, adding a White House campaign route to the original plan.

It was quite obvious that neither Tony nor Captain America were interested in the owner of the white house. Sherlock, on the other hand, was somewhat interested, but he was stopped by Captain America and Tony working together.

The reason is simple: given Sherlock's wicked nature and his alchemical skills that grant him absolute control over the material world, if Sherlock were to actually sit in that position, it would be a relief if he were to become a second Roosevelt, with the military, police, and secret agents all under his control.

Anyway, the US is already rotten to the core, so the emergence of a second Roosevelt might not be a bad thing.

What truly terrified the two was Sherlock's extraordinary and perverse sense of humor. Trump was already quite abstract, but if Sherlock were to replace him, the US might become even more abstract.

After all, these two were genuinely afraid that some strange but incredibly powerful things like P-site special forces or queen squads would appear in the future.

After some discussion, it was finally decided to let Little Chili give it a try.

Whether it succeeds or not is irrelevant; the main purpose is to divert the attention of those black-hearted maggots and make it easier for the Avengers to carry out some shady schemes.

As for who is behind this shady scheme?

It's simple, because Sherlock plans to anonymously fund Hydra!

It should be noted that Hydra's 'body' has now been effectively eradicated by the five benevolent individuals working together, and the remaining horde of snake heads are no match for the support of funds.

At first, the two were startled by Sherlock's idea, but in the blink of an eye they realized what Sherlock was planning.

It's very simple. On the one hand, we should try to distract those heartless maggots and make them feel that Hydra still has money to make, so that they won't keep focusing on the Avengers.

Secondly, this can be considered a way to make use of waste materials, and at the same time, it can also divert some of the attention of the five good guys from the Avengers, making it a win-win situation.

Most importantly, if Sherlock can control Hydra through funding, then many things in the future will become controllable.

The biggest advantage is that, at the right time and at the right moment, the Avengers' persona can be transformed from a victorious army into a group of people who can get sick, fail, and get hurt, all at a controllable cost.

Get the Avengers down from that damned pedestal of attention, and down steadily at that!

This is exactly what the Avengers need right now.

In short, the current reputation of the Avengers is not a good thing for them. Internationally, the five major powers do not want to see a sixth permanent member emerge that is independent of their system; internally, the United States does not want to see the Avengers grow stronger while it is powerless to do anything about it.

Therefore, if no action is taken, there will only be more and more shady things involving people like Tiffany and Anya in the future.

It is even quite possible that the Sokovia Protocol from the original work will be triggered in a different way.

Neither Sherlock nor Tony, nor any of the other Avengers, would want to see such a scene.

After all, part of the reason for Tony's break with Captain America in the original comics was due to the relationship between Tony's parents. Although Tony still looks down on Bucky, the man Captain America loved the most, he has at least gotten his revenge, so naturally he doesn't want to see the Avengers split up.

Therefore, lowering the Avengers' reputation and changing their character is imperative.

Of course, at the same time, Pepper Potts' campaign will also be secretly pushed by the Avengers, which is a two-pronged strategy.

Aside from these two points, the Avengers can no longer gather as before. Sherlock, Tony, and Hawkeye will go into the background after the plan begins, reducing their public activities. The Avengers will be more often entrusted to Captain America and Black Widow to lead Wanda and the others to carry out missions.

As for the missions of Sherlock, Tony, and Hawkeye, they are to be assigned separately, and Vision may also be added.

That's right, in addition to these two tasks, Sherlock added an insurance plan, or to put it more clearly, a hedging plan.

Which group of heartless maggots didn't want the 'Earth Defense Force' and the Avengers to clash? To prevent a civil war, Sherlock might as well just give them to them directly.

According to Sherlock's plan, he intends to join forces with Tony to create a batch of dolls to satisfy the hedging ideas of those black-hearted maggots.

Even if a civil war were to break out that day, it would only be a war between the Avengers and the 'Earth Defense Force'.

Even if it's still just friendly fire, at least it won't cause serious damage, which can be considered another strategy to quell the civil war.

The only problem is that after the plane lands, Sherlock will definitely be under more surveillance, so he certainly cannot openly participate in this so-called hedging plan.

The only option is for Tony to take the lead, with Vision as his assistant. This is also the main reason why Tony must keep a low profile.

As for Hawkeye, he will be assigned to Pepper Potts' campaign team, partly for protection and partly to provide her with some assistance. Vision will also be officially assigned to Pepper Potts' team to help her with some technical issues.

Almost everyone had their own plans, and it has to be said that when Sherlock used all his wicked sense of humor on others while still standing on Sherlock's side, it felt really good.

In any case, Captain America and Tony were thoroughly entertained by Sherlock's wicked humor and his undisguised malice towards those heartless maggots.

There was no objection to Sherlock's plan; he agreed immediately. The only thing the captain reminded Tony before ending the conversation was not to create another Ultron, to which Tony naturally agreed without hesitation.

As the three finished their discussion and prepared to leave the bedroom, Tony suddenly seemed to remember something, grabbed Sherlock's arm, and asked him a question.

"By the way, what roles do you want to assign to the people in that hedging plan you mentioned? You can give me a heads-up beforehand."

Upon hearing Tony's question, the captain also turned to look in Sherlock's direction with some curiosity, genuinely wondering what kind of role Sherlock would arrange for her to play.

Honestly, cosplay is really addictive, especially when you can perfectly recreate a character with Sherlock Holmes' help. The captain is even thinking about seeing if he can get to cosplay one or two characters himself.

When Tony asked Sherlock, he just grinned mischievously and shrugged innocently before answering Tony.

"If our world were a comic book in DC comics, which group do you think the Avengers would correspond to?"

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, both Captain America and Tony gasped involuntarily, and they spoke to Sherlock almost simultaneously.

"Don't fucking tell me it's the Justice League!"

After saying this, the captain and Tony exchanged a glance, and with incredulous looks in each other's eyes, they spoke to Sherlock in unison once again.

"Stop messing around! Shall we go beat up Superman?"

Chapter 653 The Complete Conclusion of the Ultron Incident

?

Hearing what the captain and Tony said, Sherlock rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. These two were really out of their minds.

Putting aside the question of whether the resources and technology at hand are enough to create a Superman who can become stronger by sunbathing, even if they could create a Superman, do these two really want to have a go at him?

Stop fucking talking nonsense. If we could really take down Superman, one look from him would wipe out the entire Avengers. Fighting Superman? We'd struggle to even beat Homelander, let alone Superman.

Huh? Wait a minute? Homelander? A bad idea is forming...

Of course, having just been pranked by these scoundrels, Sherlock wouldn't reveal the bad ideas in his head right now, or even show them.

After all, Sherlock was also very curious about what kind of expressions Captain America and Tony would have when they saw the little Easter egg he had prepared.

Following the speechless reaction of the two arrogant fools, Sherlock gave them both a firm middle finger without any politeness, then opened the bedroom door and left without saying a word.

After Sherlock left, Tony and Captain America, seeing Sherlock's behavior, exchanged a somewhat awkward glance and touched their noses.

They're being stupid. If Sherlock could create Superman, given his personality, he would have already transformed himself into Superman and stopped eating beef. What would the Avengers have to do with that?

Of course, based on their understanding of Sherlock, even if Sherlock really had the ability to create Superman, the final product would probably only be closer to Homelander...

Huh? Wait, Homelander?

After exchanging a glance, Captain and Tony both saw a hint of worry in each other's eyes.

In that instant, the two were in perfect sync, no less so than the Jaeger pilots in Pacific Rim, and their only goal was to keep a close watch on Sherlock and prevent Ultron's fate from repeating itself!

Tony's creation, Ultron, was already a major headache; if Sherlock were to actually create a Homelander, things would get really messed up.

Sherlock, too lazy to pay attention to the Captain and Tony whose teamwork had improved dramatically, settled into the sofa after leaving the bedroom at the stern and began planning his vacation.

That's right, Sherlock's own vacation!

Although the Avengers and their families were officially on a team-building vacation with the rabbits, it was a completely different story for Sherlock, who even had the illusion of working overtime due to Mercury retrograde.

For Sherlock, the real vacation only began after he returned from the rabbit's side, and the so-called Ultron incident only ended after he had finished dealing with everything on the rabbit's side.

As for Anya and Tiffany, and the preliminary preparations for those three plans?

Honestly, Sherlock, who was only thinking about resting, didn't want to care at all. He even dumped all these troublesome matters on Captain America and Tony, since if those two couldn't even handle this, they shouldn't be working here.
