Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

What they didn't expect was that Tony and his team had foreseen all of this. As a result, after Tony came into contact with that group of wicked maggots, he began to reclaim the Justice League's login privileges. Now, only the original Avengers and Black Widows are allowed to log in to the Justice League.

And at the behest of those wicked maggots, the Justice League's missions began to gradually dabble in darkness.

In this process, the Justice League, just like the Avengers in the movie, caused a lot of collateral damage, which put them in the spotlight. On the other hand, the Avengers, because they were honestly doing their job as 'mercenaries', kept a low profile and disappeared in this catastrophe.

In terms of public opinion, driven by those heartless maggots, discussions about superheroes have gradually begun to show some voices that are different from the previous ones, which were full of praise.

It's no exaggeration to say that until Sherlock returned for the meeting, everything was going according to Tony and Captain America's plan.

Until a variable appeared in the plan.

Wakanda!

Chapter 710 The Changing International Situation (Part 2)

Whether it's a coincidence or a plot correction, the Justice League's style of doing things is both righteous and evil, and their actions carry a bit of 'collateral damage,' but it's definitely not intentional.

Then an accident occurred: during the Justice League's fight against Hydra, they accidentally injured several Wakanda citizens. Then, just like in the movie, the old king of Wakanda launched a tirade at the General Assembly.

Surprisingly, despite being a poor, backward, and even closed-off small African country to the outside world, Wakanda unexpectedly has a voice in the UN General Assembly, and can even be considered the most influential person after the five philanthropists.

The reason is simple: they possess vibranium, a unique resource.

The reason why these resources were not taken away is precisely because of Wakanda's previous policies. This small country resisted external invasion through isolation and unity.

In addition to the fixed annual vibranium production, or 'tribute', the five philanthropists did not cause trouble for Wakanda. After all, the properties of vibranium meant that mining and refining it was hard work.

That was true at least back when technology wasn't as advanced.

It was precisely through this kind of 'hard labor' combined with the so-called 'isolation' and the unity within the small country that Wakanda was able to develop a distorted technology tree based on vibranium.

Just like the princes in the Middle East, the people of Wakanda are not fools. They know that lying around on Vibranium Mountain and waiting to die is not a long-term solution. However, due to the disparity in strength, it was difficult to truly open the country's doors.

But things are different now. With technology far surpassing that of any other country and the unique physical properties of vibranium, Wakanda has the conditions to open its doors. Both the old king and T'Challa are ready to open the country.

The actions taken by the UN General Assembly against the Justice League are essentially just one step in Wakanda's opening of its borders.

It's important to understand that conflicts between nations are never easy or pleasant. In essence, the relationship between nations follows the Dark Forest theory. Wakanda's desire to open its borders stems from its fear of being targeted by countries worldwide.

On the other hand, if one wants to gain certain power in the General Assembly or a certain status in the world, one naturally needs to proceed gradually.

This is why Wakanda proposed a superhero regulation bill at the UN General Assembly. Unlike in the movies, the bill does not require identity registration, but only filing and consent.

While it appears to be restricting the emergence of superheroes, it is essentially taking away or limiting the management authority over superheroes.

After all, for Wakanda, which wants to open its borders, the power of superheroes is far too useful as a sharp weapon, and they must limit it.

While Wakanda's technology is strong enough to withstand external attacks, no matter how powerful the defense, it cannot withstand being breached from within. The existence of superheroes greatly increases the probability of such an event occurring.

Interestingly, due to reasons related to vibranium production and distribution, or perhaps some other motive, the bill proposed by Wakanda was unanimously passed by the UN General Assembly.

What's even more interesting is that after the bill was passed, the US developed a more detailed set of laws internally—the Superhero Registration Act.

The most interesting thing is that these heartless maggots actually used the name of Wakanda to notify not only the Avengers, but also the Justice League.

Under the guise of facilitating management, it is actually a way of morally blackmailing superheroes by dragging the whole world into it, which can also be seen as a kind of binding on the Avengers and the Justice League.

The meaning is clear: this is a law passed by the whole world. Either you behave like an ordinary person, or you tell me everything about yourself and become my dog.

Honestly, if it weren't for Sherlock's connections within the UN General Assembly and Rabbit's inside man, who knew the true nature of the documents, we might have been completely fooled by those heartless maggots.

When the whole story came to the captain, his face turned deathly dark.

Because of his past experiences, the captain still had somewhat unrealistic expectations of those heartless maggots.

But now these black-hearted maggots have completely destroyed the captain's expectations of the United States. To put it bluntly, if the captain had any patriotism before, now all he has left is the thought that the United States is doomed.

Disillusioned, Captain America stopped interfering in Justice League affairs. After Tony made this public, the Avengers made a somewhat dark decision the day after Sherlock returned.

'The Fall of the Justice League'

According to their initial plan, the Avengers should remain hidden in this matter, while the Justice League would step in, using the identities of Aquaman, Cyborg, Flash, Wonder Woman, and Batman, to directly veto the proposal and incidentally deal with some of the toxic elements who oppose Pepper Potts.

It's a win-win situation, but there's only one problem: we absolutely can't let that bastard Sherlock find out.

The reason is simple: if that bastard Sherlock really finds out, it's hard to guarantee that Sherlock can pull off something big using the Justice League's alias.

The plan was quite ingenious, even the time and place were chosen perfectly. Sherlock didn't hear a word about it. Logically speaking, this matter should have been resolved silently without Sherlock's knowledge.

By the time Sherlock finds out about this and realizes he's missed out on a great stunt, the whole thing should be over.

The hero's name is no longer dazzling, the Avengers have enemies and are no longer restricted, the maggots put away their greed, and most importantly, if they are lucky, they might even be able to make contact with Wakanda.

But sometimes things just happen by chance. Just two nights before the plan was to be executed, the Avengers received a request they couldn't refuse.

The UN General Assembly hearings safeguard the implementation of the superhero regulatory bill spearheaded by the former King of Wakanda.

The group of heartless maggots who issued the mission were essentially just trying to humiliate and force the Avengers to make a choice. After all, the Avengers are not allowed to enter the arena, no, even if the Avengers knew, they would be fearless.

The so-called regulatory bill is just a blueprint. Its implementation will naturally have local characteristics. In the eyes of those black-hearted maggots, everything is quite wonderful, even smooth.

It could both put pressure on the Avengers and deter them. The only thing they didn't expect was that the Avengers also had a secret plan targeting them.

The result was that the Avengers' perfect plan collided with the Black Heart Maggot's perfect plan. The two plans collided in a brilliant fashion. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, the Avengers had to ensure that they could complete their own plan while completing the Black Heart Maggot's mission.

As things stand, unless Wanda, Quicksilver, and even Thor and Vision are added, the Avengers will definitely not have enough manpower!

Even with that added, the Avengers can't guarantee their mission will go smoothly. You can't expect a simpleton, two foreign students, and an innocent teenager to complete a mission with such dark adult thinking!

So the only solution left for them was Sherlock!

Chapter 711 Sherlock: I smell fun!

Since that long day ended, Sherlock felt that his damned Mercury retrograde was finally over, and he was finally living the life he had always dreamed of.

My daily routine consists of sipping an iced Americano while petting Orange, playing with Doro, and occasionally taking the two adorable creatures shopping or simply going for a stroll nearby.

When the mood strikes, they might even drag Sister Hua into a thrilling cooking competition, and then eat until their bellies are round and full, lying on the sofa sighing with delight.

With Orange Star around, there's absolutely no need to worry about leftovers. Orange Star is more than happy to handle the leftovers after a cooking competition. If you're willing, Orange Star can even help you with the post-competition dishwashing problem, provided you're willing to part with the bowls and chopsticks you bought and need to go to the supermarket to buy new ones.

Aside from the interesting things that happened at home, Sherlock was bored and, apart from hanging out with the PAB gang of bastards, he spent most of his leisure time doing obnoxious things in front of Zhao Weike.

Zhao Weike was quite annoyed by Sherlock's constant obnoxious behavior in front of him, especially since he was already busy with Anna and Mindy.

However, as the person who knows Sherlock's personality best, Zhao Weike also knows that he cannot refuse Sherlock. The reason is simple: if he refuses Sherlock, this bastard will definitely pull off a huge mess.

Based on Zhao Weike's experience in dealing with Sherlock, there is only one best way to deal with Sherlock, who keeps coming to him to act like a jerk. Divert Sherlock's attention!

Unfortunately, Laura was sacrificed by her irresponsible father, and the bored Sherlock happily took over the task of picking Laura up and dropping her off at school.

On the first day, Sherlock drove Laura to school in his 6x6 Raptor pickup truck as usual, and picked her up in the evening as usual.

On the second day, things began to develop in a direction that Laura couldn't understand.

Sherlock's vehicles evolved from the powerful pickup truck at the beginning, to her family's Cadillac Escalade, then to her irresponsible father's Mustang antique car, and finally to Sherlock's motorcycle, which appeared very few times.

If things were still relatively normal up to this point, then Lara's worldview began to suffer a massive shock after the motorcycle was introduced.

Let's put it this way: if Sherlock were to ride a horse, that would be the most normal vehicle for him. Other vehicles include, but are not limited to, aliens, giant insects, spaceships, Zhao Weike, an old lady, Doro, Orange, Flower Sister, a giant eyeball, a flying broom, a magic carpet, Iron Man armor, Captain America's shield, Chelsea boots, a giant spider, a crocodile, a helicopter, or even himself transforming into a Cthulhu tentacle monster...

With vehicles being so abstract, you can't expect Sherlock to be normal. He's a knight, an alien, Cthulhu, and even anime characters. He even cross-dressed Sherlock. The three times he did that with Hua Jie, the eyeball, and Zhao Weike were absolutely terrifying.

When Sherlock was carried over by Sister Hua, he was covered in blood and was even spitting blood while greeting Laura. Zhao Weike was even more bruised and swollen, his head swollen like a pig's head.

As for the eyeball incident, Laura felt like dying whenever she thought about it. Sherlock was standing on a giant Sharingan eyeball that was nearly two meters in diameter. Putting aside the fact that the eyeball was too realistic and made people uncomfortable, Sherlock looked like a clown performing on a ball in a circus.

Even his outfit is a replica of the Joker's classic look from It. Most importantly, he carries Lara back in a princess carry on a ball the whole time.

Goodness, the patterns are almost different every day, one in the morning and another in the evening.

Sherlock was practically working tirelessly to see Lara, this cool girl, break down.

Unfortunately, Sherlock's actions seemed to have the opposite effect. Laura not only took over all of Sherlock's antics with a blank expression, but also left an indelible curiosity in the hearts of Laura's classmates.

Thanks to Sherlock's abstract behavior, all the little bean kids in the school were eagerly anticipating what tricks Sherlock would pull the next day, which also made Laura an unparalleled little star in the school.

But for Sherlock, this prank was undoubtedly a failure. However, Sherlock continued to argue with Laura, and Laura never commented on Sherlock's abstract behavior.

Both sides maintained a rather childish tacit understanding, which left Helen speechless. She felt that the two of them combined were no more than ten years old.

Of course, aside from his abstract and quirky remarks, Sherlock also learned a little about Laura's school. But it didn't matter that he didn't know anything; once he did, Sherlock only had one thought in his mind: to transfer Laura to another school as soon as possible!

First of all, given Zhao Weike's financial situation, Laura didn't go to a public school in the US, nor a religious school with extremely low tuition fees, but rather an elite school that had absolutely nothing to do with so-called 'happy education'.

Sherlock had heard of the "happy education" approach in the United States, where everyone was a model student. However, to Sherlock's utter surprise, the educational methods of this so-called elite school left him speechless.

Leaving aside the patriotic education that is practically brainwashing, where students swear an oath to the national flag every morning, Shylock simply couldn't accept the ideas that were instilled in students at school.

Who the hell has ever seen anyone indoctrinate elementary school students with the idea of ​​'religious elite responsibility'?

What do you mean by being the elite, God's shepherds, leading that flock of foolish 'sheep' to the right path, and all that nonsense about shouldering the future? You're just taking advantage of the fact that Yorgias can't speak properly, aren't you?

Sherlock felt a headache coming on just thinking about it. This was an elite school on the American side! Sherlock simply couldn't understand how these crazy people in the US managed to merge religion, theology, and science—two completely contradictory things—into one.

After learning about Laura's school, Sherlock approached Zhao Weike and his wife almost without hesitation and began discussing transferring Laura to another school.

The United States, a place teeming with madmen, is truly unsuitable for a future budding talent like Lara. Sherlock doesn't even dare to imagine what kind of monster Lara would become if she were to finish her studies in such a damned environment.

A religiously motivated, monstrous version of Wolverine?

Just thinking about it gave Sherlock goosebumps.

Fortunately, Zhao Weike had spent a lot of time with Sherlock and understood what Sherlock was thinking. He decisively handed the matter over to Sherlock, who came up with a solution that could be described as perfect.

She called Da Shi directly and got a spot in a primary school in the capital. She also bought a small house in the capital and installed a fixed location that could connect the small house in the capital to Zhao Weike's house via a "anywhere door" so that Laura could go back and forth to school.

After settling all the formalities and other troublesome matters, Sherlock decisively transferred Laura to the rabbit's side.

Lara seemed unconcerned about this; the only thing that bothered her was the time difference between Beijing and New York.

However, for a superhuman like Lara, this is not a big problem. Moreover, compared to the schools on the US side, Lara undoubtedly prefers the schools on the Chinese side, at least the lunches on the Chinese side are really delicious.

Meanwhile, Sherlock, having resolved Laura's schooling issue, unsurprisingly found himself with nothing to do again.

To be honest, humans are, in a sense, the most despicable species in the world. Even when he was busy to the point of exhaustion, Sherlock dreamed of living a carefree, idle life like a salted fish.

But now that he's actually living this kind of life, Sherlock is starting to feel bored and miss his previous life, which was full of fun.

Fortunately, life was not too bad for Sherlock. Just when Sherlock was bored out of his mind, Tony's Audi R8 pulled up in front of Sherlock's house.

Upon hearing the roar of Tony's sports car, Sherlock almost instinctively sensed an atmosphere of amusement.
