Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

You call this assassination?

What kind of assassin carries an MG42 machine gun, wears heavy body armor, and has a self-deprecating hairstyle, charging back and forth in the enemy's home base like an armored vehicle?

Okay, even if this can barely be considered to be related to Zhao Weike's style of close-combat assault and wiping out the opponent.

The other one was simply incomprehensible to Kane, the assassin.

Who would be so kind as to swing her mother's bomb around like a bullet?

The most crucial point is that Kane could tolerate using bombs and such, but isn't using poison gas a bit too much?

This is fucking an assassin? This thing, more terrorist-like than a terrorist, can be called an assassin? What am I then? A martial arts enthusiast?

Kane didn't understand, Kane was deeply shocked, and Kane began to question the meaning of life.

Many questions eventually gathered in Kane's mind. Pointing to the little girl named Eve Anna on the screen who had even taken out a spiked grenade, he asked Zhao Weike beside him.

"Are these two really your apprentices?"

Zhao Weike: "..."

Faced with Kane's question, Zhao Weike blushed, a rare occurrence for him. He glanced subconsciously at Sherlock, who even seemed to have the mind to comment on Anna and Mindy's fighting styles, and then quietly closed his eyes without saying a word.

Sherlock, that bastard, poses no threat to me in the world of assassins, but he has ruined my reputation in the education field!

I'm tired. Let's destroy it!

Unfortunately, Zhao Weike's reclusive nature couldn't stop Sherlock's enthusiastic commentary, and he even had the mind to teach Kane, this 'traditional and conservative' veteran assassin, a lesson.

"Sir, times have changed! You must keep up with the times!"

What is assassination? As long as no one discovers it, completing the mission is assassination!

Given this situation, we need to look at the mission with the mindset of modern online games. You see, Mindy's fighting style is definitely that of a front-line warrior who can both attack and withstand damage, responsible for suppressing and absorbing damage. Anna also has a clear understanding of her role: a mage responsible for outputting damage!

See? I told you Anna was a good match! Look, she even brought out the Thunder Staff!

It's just a pity that this assassination squad is missing a healer. If they had one more healer, the squad would be invincible.

Listening to Sherlock's explanation, Kane was completely bewildered.

God the hell! Thunderstrike Staff!

This is fucking online gaming mentality!

That damn assassination squad!

God the hell out of your wet nurse!

Kane is now beginning to regret getting so close to Sherlock. If things continue this way, it's hard to guarantee that he won't be influenced by that damned heretic Sherlock.

At the very least, Kane has absolutely no desire to deal with Sherlock, this heretical cultivator!

No wonder Sherlock didn't object at all to letting Anna and Mindy deal with the X organization at the High Table. Now that we see, the fact that the X organization survived the attacks of these two girls is truly remarkable!

Of course, compared to Kane, the woman who made the ruling was probably even more shocked.

Ever since Anna and Mindy came out of the coffee shop, the judge's chin, hidden beneath her mask, has never closed.

Watching Anna and Mindy fight against the X organization, this seasoned judge inexplicably found herself in sync with Kane.

Can this guy even be called a killer?

Having served as the Arbitrator at the High Table for so long, she has seen all sorts of assassins: those skilled in close combat, those adept at rushing in, those skilled in poisoning, those adept at disguise, and even the most traditional type skilled in sniping.

But what about 'assassins' like Anna and Mindy?

To be honest, she had never seen them before! These two were even more terrifying than the cleaning crew of the High Table!

It's important to understand that the sweeping team isn't just a simple group of assassins; they are well-equipped mercenaries who have fought their way through war and have high-level fire support.

That's the army!

But Anna and Mindy, those two little girls, managed to fight with the spirit of an army!

It even made the judge feel that she or the High Table were a bit outdated, or that the assassin industry was slowly declining.

After all, if those two little girls on the screen can be called assassins, then what about the assassins registered in mainland hotels? Shooting enthusiasts?

What frustrated the judge even more was that even though Anna and Mindy's fighting abilities were starting to develop in the direction of an 'army', she couldn't find any violations by Sherlock or Zhao Weike.

After all, once Sherlock reached an agreement with the High Table at the Continental Hotel, he hadn't met with those two girls privately! Under such circumstances, even if the two girls on screen were openly using Sherlock's alchemical equipment, the High Table couldn't find any reason to breach the contract!

Hearing the morbidly joyful laughter of the two girls who were completely engrossed in their fight coming from the screen, the judge sighed helplessly.

This time, the High Table has really failed. Their attempt to preserve the X Organization's fighting strength was completely shattered by Sherlock's two newly trained girls.

Chapter 671 The Desperate X Organization

While Kane and the Judge were deeply impressed by Anna and Mindy's fighting styles, the leader of the X organization, who was also present, was equally shocked.

Of course, compared to the few people in the bar of a hotel on the mainland, he felt not only shock but also intense regret.

Yes, it was regret. Regret for underestimating those two young girls, which led to an unbelievable level of losses for his men.

At first, when faced with Anna and Mindy, this man, who considered himself to have seen it all and had climbed up the ranks from the bottom as an assassin in his family, thought that these two girls were just ordinary people.

They didn't seem to care at all about the small number of people they lost in the coffee shop, and simply sent out even more powerful assassins based on their experience.

But what happened next exceeded his expectations.

Anna and Mindy's fighting style, so different from the rest of the assassin world, truly gave him a sense of Sherlock Holmes-like awe.

Of course, as shocked as he was, he did not regret it. After all, he was in his own base, so how could he let these two little girls take advantage of him?

Therefore, based on his experience, he quickly made tactical changes as soon as things changed.

On the one hand, they sent out some cannon fodder to buy time, and on the other hand, they began to have their men set up firing points on the two girls' only route, using the houses in the town that had been secretly reinforced for emergency situations as bunkers to block the two girls.

Normally, this arrangement would be perfectly fine, but it's clear that Anna and Mindy are definitely not normal.

The so-called 'bunkers' and firing positions were completely suppressed by Mindy's powerful firepower, which never stopped, never overheated, and never ran out of ammunition. Following closely behind were Anna's poison gas bombs.

In just a few breaths, the bunker, which was specially reinforced during the construction of the town as an emergency measure, became completely silent and even turned into a 'forbidden zone' that could not be approached for a period of time.

This situation infuriated the self-proclaimed battle-hardened leader, who quickly made tactical changes.

The sniper, along with members of the family's internal cleanup team, wanted to make a mess of Anna and Mindy, the two little girls.

Normally, this arrangement would be fine. Mindy, who is in the front row, is wearing a pink rogue warrior suit that, even with Sherlock's alchemy enhancement, would be immune to all conventional caliber bullets.

However, it doesn't offer much advantage against large-caliber bullets specifically designed to target armored vehicles, such as anti-materiel bullets.

Theoretically, the leader's arrangement was fine, but unfortunately, Anna and Mindy were first led astray by Sherlock, and then taught by Jia Xu from the Rabbit's side. They really never played by the rules.

The sniper, armed with an anti-materiel sniper rifle, had barely arrived when he was met with a barrage of 7.62mm steel-core armor-piercing rounds, carrying a significant amount of heat generated by friction with the air and the barrel.

The bullets flew like water, traversing over 400 meters through his scope, ignoring his skull, making intimate contact with his brain, and passing through the back of his head, leaving a large red and white bloody mess on the walls and the ground.

Mindy seemed to have known all along that they would be wary of her, and she used anti-material methods as if she were in the middle of a pleasurable massacre, but her attention was always partly fixed on any high ground that could threaten her.

Unlike those arrogant teenagers who get carried away after gaining power, Mindy is very aware of his shortcomings even with Sherlock's help, and he never hides them.

Even though she might appear crazy and yandere like Sister Hua during battle, obsessed with killing, Mindy knows in her heart that it's just a disguise and an outlet for her emotions. The real Mindy, though reckless, is always cautious.

With Mindy taking out snipers one after another, the X organization's only hope for a comeback rested on the cleanup squad that had surrounded the two.

Like the cleaning teams at the mainland hotels, the cleaning teams within the X organization were created to eliminate 'traitors' from those families.

Unlike the cleaning teams of mainland hotels, the X organization, due to its organizational structure, actually dispatches its cleaning teams far more frequently than the mainland hotels.

In other words, they always believed that in terms of experience in fighting powerful assassins, they were far superior to the cleaning crew of the Continental Hotel!

Unfortunately, this time they were facing more than just ordinary assassins.

The entire cleanup team didn't even get close to the core of the battlefield where Anna and Mindy were located. They were only following the footsteps of the two girls in an attempt to encircle them when they were mostly wiped out by Anna's booby traps. Even those who survived were all injured.

After finally getting close to where the two girls were, they were met with Mindy's merciless, even anticipated, firepower suppression and several powerful anti-tank grenades that Anna casually tossed out.

This self-proclaimed elite cleaning team was rendered useless before they even saw the two little girls.

The failure of the entire cleanup team truly pained the leader of the X organization. Watching the cleanup team being wiped out on the monitor, the leader, sitting in the monitoring room, angrily threw down the walkie-talkie he was using to command, grabbed his phone, and frantically started calling the High Table and his allies.

The X organization's resources have been depleted beyond his initial expectations, and the war cannot continue like this.

Now he only has one path left: to use the rules of the High Table to force these two little girls to stop!

However, ideals are often grand, while reality is often harsh.

No one would risk offending an alchemist who could wield the power of the Five Elements for their own petty gain.

The last person to threaten Sherlock is long dead, and he couldn't even keep his seat in the organization. No one would be foolish enough to give up their power to help someone who is destined to be worthless.

Almost none of the people in his contact list answered his calls.

Faced with this situation, even if he were incredibly naive, he would know that the High Table had abandoned him and his organization.

After smashing his phone to pieces with a dark expression, the self-important leader took out his weapon from a drawer and pressed the most conspicuous button on the control panel, designated as the 'last resort,' before leaving the monitoring room.

Chapter 672 The Heartless Anna

The so-called ultimate means is not some hidden powerful weapon or some trump card for survival, but a signal.

When the final means are used, it means that the entire organization has entered a critical period of life and death. Everyone in the family no longer needs to worry about their identity and can freely take up arms to eliminate the intruders.

At the same time, all the family's resources and equipment will be mobilized to target the invaders until the invaders are killed or the family is destroyed.

This is the last possible course of action that the leader of Organization X can think of; he might even take up arms and participate in the operation.

Nevertheless, under the overwhelming firepower of Anna and Mindy, the X organization's resistance was more of a protracted delaying tactic.

When the assassin carrying a flamethrower was turned into a walking incendiary bomb by Mindy's machine gun; when the modified armored vehicle, which was considered a 'civilian tank,' drove onto the battlefield, it was turned into scrap metal by Anna's lightning-piercing staff; when the set-up heavy machine gun was suppressed by Mindy's sniping skills with his machine gun, it was finally turned into a forbidden zone where approaching it meant certain death by Anna's poison gas.

When the assassins of the X organization discovered in despair that the 'family bond' they had once been so proud of could not help them, and that the 'unity' they had been brainwashed into was as fragile as a napkin in the face of absolute power, the faith of these brainwashed assassins collapsed.

The first manifestation of the collapse of faith was that a large number of assassins lost their desire to fight, and their minds were filled with thoughts of how to escape this hell.

Unfortunately, they had no chance to escape, because there were always blindly loyal members of the family who would spontaneously form a so-called military police force to execute those who deserted in the face of battle.

What's even more disheartening is that these so-called military police might be their bedside companions at night, or even their children or parents whom they've raised for over a decade, or even the kind old lady on the street who used to give them candy whenever they met.

Such situations repeatedly unfolded in this small town following the launch of the final offensive.

However, even those military police officers who had been brainwashed into blind loyalty soon noticed something was amiss.
