Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

"Mr. Sherlock, please abide by the agreement between us and the High Table. Rules must never be broken."

Upon hearing the Arbitrator's words, Kane looked at the Arbitrator who had 'spoken harshly' at Sherlock with an expression of utter disbelief. He simply couldn't comprehend how this woman dared to say such a thing to Sherlock.

To Kane's surprise, Sherlock did not refute the Arbiter's words, but simply waved his hand impatiently.

Seeing Sherlock's actions, which resembled shooing away flies, the Arbiter remained expressionless. He merely glanced at the people present before getting up and walking into the Continental Hotel.

Anna and Mindy were left standing there, completely bewildered and unaware of what had happened.

On the contrary, Zhao Weike frowned after seeing that the two of them did not make any move, and then spoke to them calmly.

"You only have 24 hours."

Seeing their master's appearance, Mindy and Anna exchanged a glance, and without any hesitation, they turned and ran towards the outside of the Continental Hotel.

Watching the two girls' figures disappear into the lobby of the Continental Hotel, Kane smiled and looked in Zhao Weike's direction, saying to him.

"John, are you sure you don't need to intervene? You know, given our relationship, I can turn a blind eye."

In response to Kane's words, Zhao Weike glanced at Kane and rolled his eyes in annoyance. However, to everyone's surprise, Zhao Weike's eye roll really startled Kane.

"Holy crap! John, did you just roll your eyes? I'm blind and can't see clearly, but I felt like you did! Even Night Demons roll their eyes? What the hell?"

Faced with Kane's shouting, Zhao Weike almost instinctively blushed and gave Kane the middle finger in an annoyed manner.

However, the moment Kane saw the middle finger, he immediately stopped yelling and became serious in front of Zhao Weike and Sherlock's surprised gazes. He pulled out a pistol from his pocket and pointed it at Zhao Weike.

“I don’t know who you are! But you’d better get off my friend John Wicker!”

Zhao Weike: "..."

Sherlock: (ì_í)

"Haha ...

After an eerie silence, Sherlock's laughter echoed throughout the lobby of the Continental Hotel.

Hearing Sherlock's laughter and the sounds of the body rolling on the ground, Kane felt a bit uncomfortable. Not to mention that John, who used to only say "yeah~", now rolls his eyes and gives the middle finger.

The fact that Sherlock addressed Zhao Weike as "Old Zhao" was enough to shock Kane.

Zhao Weike irritably shoved the gun Kane was pointing at him away, then kicked Sherlock, who was rolling on the ground laughing, before turning to Kane with a wry smile.

"Kane, there's nothing to be surprised about. Life will always change a person's character."

Zhao Weike paused here, looking at Sherlock on the ground who was still laughing so hard that tears were streaming down his face, before continuing in a somewhat annoyed tone.

"What's more, I've lived with such a jerk for so long!"

Upon hearing Zhao Weike's words, Kane turned his gaze towards Sherlock. Although Kane acted like a blind man, his vision was actually only impaired, not completely blind.

Sherlock managed to suppress his laughter, stood up, ran to Kane's side, patted Kane on the shoulder, and spoke to Kane in Chinese.

"Master Ye, to be honest, I'm starting to like you!"

Kane, who was taken aback by Sherlock's fluent Mandarin, took a while to recover. He put away his pistol with a puzzled look, turned to look at Sherlock, and asked him.

"First of all, my surname isn't Ye; my name is Kane Raymond! Secondly, why do you call John 'Old Zhao'?"

Faced with Kane's question, Sherlock shrugged nonchalantly before speaking to Kane.

"Alright, I understand, Master Ye. As for why he's called Old Zhao, it's simple. John, John, if you read it together, it becomes Zhao, right? What's wrong with calling him Zhao Weike?"

Of course, if you don't like the nickname "Zhao Weike," you can call him Constantine, Johnny Silverhand, Neo, SWAT Jack, Alex, or Lawyer Kevin—it's up to you whichever you prefer.

As Sherlock finished speaking, Kane turned to look at Zhao Weike, who looked helpless and as if he were putting on a humiliating performance. Suddenly, Kane seemed to understand why Zhao Weike had changed so much.

With a wicked grin, Kane completely ignored Sherlock's address to his master, Ye, and turned to Zhao Weike, speaking to him in English with a hint of provocation.

"Alright, I got it. Looks like Johnny Silverhand's retirement life is quite colorful!"

Faced with Kane's teasing, Zhao Weike rolled his eyes in annoyance and once again gave Sherlock and Kane the middle finger, which only earned him a synchronized and hearty laugh from Sherlock and Kane.

Chapter 667 Sherlock's Surveillance Methods

Compared to the hurried and chaotic situation of Anna and Mindy, Sherlock's side could be described as relaxed and carefree, even with a sense of leisurely vacation.

At least Zhao Weike genuinely felt that way, especially after seeing Kane become so familiar with Sherlock at such a rapid pace.

Of course, aside from that feeling, Zhao Weike's biggest feeling was confusion and speechlessness, even a little bit of incomprehension.

He really couldn't understand how Sherlock managed to put himself through a huge, embarrassing performance every time he introduced him to his circle of friends.

This was the case when I brought Sherlock to the Romash before, and it's the same this time when I brought Sherlock to Kane.

Listening to Kane excitedly recounting his dark history to Sherlock, Zhao Weike sighed helplessly, utterly speechless.

It wasn't because of any so-called dark history. After all, given the kind of relationship between Sherlock and himself where they knew exactly how many moles each other had on their butts, Zhao Weike could remain completely unfazed, no matter how embarrassing his past was.

The reason Zhao Weike was so speechless was that he had somehow let Sherlock and Kane, that damned troublemaker, meet!

Honestly, if Zhao Weike had known that this operation would lead to a meeting between Kane and Sherlock, he would have preferred to offend the High Table to help Anna and Mindy rather than involve Sherlock.

Just look at the short time Kane and Sherlock have been together. Kane has already started to develop into a genius, and Sherlock is eager to become the next "Executioner." They're just one person away from forming their initial god-tier gear.

Those who don't know might even think that Sherlock's neighbor isn't Zhao Weike but Kane, the one who gets along so well with Sherlock.

Fortunately, Zhao Weike had spent a lot of time with the Avengers and had picked up some sense of justice himself, so he would never give up his 'Sherlock's neighbor' status to Kane.

After all, what if Kane, that daring and fun-loving guy, were to live with Sherlock?

Let's put it this way: the Battle of New York or Ultron are nothing compared to the mess these two have made!

And the facts proved that Zhao Weike's understanding of Sherlock and Kane was absolutely correct. Sherlock genuinely felt that Kane, the king of ideas, perfectly suited his tastes, and some of Kane's ideas were even considered extremely imaginative by Sherlock.

Even Sherlock was taken aback, exclaiming, "Holy crap! You can do that?" It was as if he and Kane were kindred spirits. Most importantly, this guy was willing to go all out. In just a short while, he was already excitedly cooperating with Sherlock to film his facial expressions!

Zhao Weike was getting restless when he saw the emoji that Kane had sent to his phone immediately after the shoot. He could clearly sense that if he didn't do something soon, these two would probably start arguing about whether kings and nobles were born with a special destiny.

Seeing that the two were still not finished talking, Zhao Weike decisively interrupted their attempt to continue the conversation, adopting the air of a master chef and speaking to Kane and Sherlock.

"Time is up!"

Zhao Weike's meaning was simple: it was time to head to the town of the X organization. After all, although the High Table had asked them to be witnesses, no one could guarantee that the X organization wouldn't have some ulterior motives.

Zhao Weike didn't want his apprentice to suffer because of his lateness.

However, to Zhao Weike's utter surprise, Sherlock showed no intention of getting up after hearing his words. Instead, he asked the waiter at the Continental Hotel to bring him and Kane two beers, and then pulled out a rocket model the size of an arm from his four-dimensional pocket.

Looking at the rocket model, still with its fuse, that Sherlock had thrown into his hand, Zhao Weike was momentarily speechless. He glanced at Sherlock, then at the rocket model in his hand, and finally gave up trying to think of anything.

He decisively ignored Sherlock, who was exchanging amusement with Kane, took the rocket Sherlock had given him, turned around and walked out of the Continental Hotel. He placed the rocket on the ground at the entrance and set it on fire.

Watching the rocket, which looked like a model, rise into the air like a firecracker and disappear from sight, Zhao Weike helplessly turned around and went back into the hotel, wanting to see what kind of trouble Sherlock was up to.

However, when Zhao Weike returned, he found that a screen had been placed on the table of the booth that could only accommodate four people. The screen was showing a car speeding by.

Furthermore, the footage clearly shows Anna sitting anxiously in the driver's seat, and Mindy with a slightly morbid excitement on his face.

???

Three question marks slowly appeared above Zhao Weike's head.

No, this looks like a camera angle from a movie shoot, with image quality as clear as a 4K movie. You're telling me this thing is being transmitted in real time?

They practically shoved the camera right in Anna and Mindy's faces!

Seeing Zhao Weike's puzzled expression, Sherlock waved his hand dismissively before raising his beer to Zhao Weike.

"Don't be so nervous. Trust these two girls' abilities. They'll handle a little Karami with ease. We can just sit here, drink beer, and watch these two little guys put on a show."

However, Zhao Weike did not respond to Sherlock's explanation. Instead, he frowned and pointed to the approximately 19-inch monitor that Sherlock had placed on the table.

Although she didn't say a word, it was obvious that Sherlock understood what Zhao Weike was worried about: he was afraid that such camera angles would affect the two girls' performance.

Sherlock calmly waved his hand and continued speaking to Zhao Weike.

"Don't worry, the thing you just launched is called a mini spy rocket, a top-tier reconnaissance satellite that launches 36 satellites at once. It has automatic stealth, automatic tracking, and automatic camera switching, guaranteeing that the entire process will be filmed with movie-level quality and visuals!"

The time limit is exactly 24 hours; it automatically destroys after that time, ensuring the person being filmed won't even notice! With this thing, we can just sit in the hotel and watch the two little girls perform—it's like watching a movie.

Sherlock paused slightly at this point before continuing to speak to Zhao Weike.

"Of course, if that X organization really wants to use some underhanded tactics, believe me, Lao Zhao, I will definitely be on the battlefield in an instant."

Of course, I also feel that ordinary underhanded tactics wouldn't work on those two crazy girls.

Chapter 668 The Movie Begins

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, Zhao Weike seemed to recall something unpleasant. His lips twitched, and without saying a word, he plopped down next to Sherlock again, picked up the beer on the table, and calmly began to drink.

Kane, seeing Sherlock and Zhao Weike's confident demeanor, immediately knew there was something fishy going on. However, Kane didn't ask, deciding to save the fun for later.

After all, when the fight really starts, these two girls will know exactly what their trump cards are. Asking them now would only ruin the surprise. Kane has always been very patient with fun outside of missions.

The three men started drinking and bragging right there in the lobby of the Mainland Hotel, completely ignoring the strange looks from the assassins coming and going around them.

On the other side, after reporting to the elders through the channels of the Mainland Hotel, the adjudicator raised his hand to check his watch and felt that it was about time for them to set off to catch up with the main characters of this performance.

With this in mind, when the masked woman walked into the lobby, the scene before her almost instantly shattered her understanding.

The scene was nothing like the anxiety and seriousness she had expected; instead, it was filled with laughter and joy, and the screen on the table was playing a Fast and Furious movie.

The main characters are the two female apprentices of the Night Demon, Anna and Mindy!

Seeing this outrageous scene before her, the masked judge was completely dumbfounded. However, Sherlock showed her no mercy and stood there stunned after seeing her walk over.

A flash of crimson lightning streaked across Sherlock's hand, and a coin appeared out of thin air in his palm. Without the slightest hesitation, Sherlock tossed the coin at the judge.

The judge almost instinctively caught the coin Sherlock tossed to her, her lips, hidden beneath her mask, twitching slightly.

Leaving aside Sherlock's act of producing counterfeit Continental Hotel gold coins almost right in front of her, let's just say...

Wait! Something's not right!

The masked woman, who was the arbitrator of the Mainland Hotel, was quite familiar with everything about the Mainland Hotel. When she got her hands on the coin that was shaped and sized like a Mainland Hotel gold coin, she didn't immediately realize what was wrong, but she quickly realized that something was amiss.

The moment she looked down at the coin in her hand, the judge's expression faltered.

In terms of both pattern and size, the coin in her hand, which Sherlock had just made in front of her, was almost indistinguishable from the real Continental Hotel gold coin!

The only difference is the material!
