Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life.

As S.H.I.E.L.D. operated at high speed, the actions unique to the violent agencies also put the High Table and the Continental Hotel on edge, completely unaware of what was happening.

Sherlock had no idea what kind of storm his casually created persona would cause in the United States, thousands of miles away. He also never imagined that he would encounter Hawkeye, who was secretly collecting intelligence, on his very first time attending this intelligence fair.

Having obtained the information he wanted, Sherlock did not linger in the information market. Instead, he left and returned to his room.

In the living room, Sherlock took out the satellite map he had obtained from the military and quickly located the canyon after entering the coordinates.

After confirming that everything was correct, Sherlock quickly outlined his route and plan before turning and heading towards his room.

Until Sherlock closed his eyes, he felt as if he had forgotten something, but he was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open, so he couldn't remember what he had forgotten and simply closed his eyes and fell asleep.

So much so that the unfortunate Zhao Weike, whom Sherlock had forgotten, wandered around the intelligence market for half a day, completely unaware that his good partner had already gone back to sleep.

Unlike Sherlock, who responded immediately after simply registering his request, Zhao Weike's attempt to find information related to Tony in the market was an incredibly difficult task.

The bracelet would occasionally remind Zhao Weike to meet in those cabins, but after a brief conversation with the intelligence provider, Zhao Weike could almost immediately tell that the other party was a fraud.

After all, if they could really obtain intelligence here, Hawkeye and the military wouldn't have come away empty-handed.

When the Ten Rings kidnapped Tony, they demonstrated exceptional professionalism. There wasn't even a single spent shell casing at the scene, and the area was completely sealed off, eliminating any possibility of leakage.

After wandering around all night, having spent about five gold coins on drinking alone, Zhao Weike could only return to his room dejectedly.

I originally thought that a mainland hotel, which is deeply intertwined with assassins, gangs, and terrorist organizations, would know information that the official forces were completely unaware of, but now it seems that this is not the case at all.

It seems that all the information related to Tony during this period has been officially verified.

Zhao Weike returned to his room just before the intelligence fair ended, but to his surprise, he saw a robe hanging by the door and realized that Sherlock had already returned.

This made Zhao Weike so angry that he gritted his teeth, and even felt like he had been tricked by Sherlock. However, when Zhao Weike saw the satellite map on the coffee table in the living room, as well as the locations, routes and plans that Sherlock had casually marked, Zhao Weike decided to let Sherlock go.

Although Zhao Weike still doesn't know how Sherlock determined that Tony was in this valley, let alone how Sherlock determined that Tony was in the hands of the Ten Rings in the Middle East.

After checking the time, Zhao Weike didn't choose to go back to his room to rest. Instead, he sat down on the sofa, partly to keep watch, and partly to help Sherlock refine his route and plan.

He opened his phone and logged into the official website of the Mainland Hotel. In the intelligence section, Zhao Weike began to use the Mainland Hotel's channels to collect information about the Ten Commandments Gang.

As Zhao Weike collected and organized the information on the satellite map, it began to grow more and more, no longer just simple routes and plans, but many more routes and plans.

It wasn't until late at night, just before sunrise, that Zhao Weike finally finished packing his things and went upstairs to wake the three sleeping people.

Although Sherlock and Helen didn't know why Zhao Weike would wake them up in the middle of the night, out of respect for the rules of the Mainland Hotel and trust in Zhao Weike, they put on their robes and followed Zhao Weike into the car and left the Mainland Hotel.

Only after the Mainland Hotel had completely disappeared from everyone's sight did Zhao Weike tear off his robe and begin to explain to the three of them.

The Mainland Hotel here operates under wartime rules, and since most of the people gathered here are intelligence personnel, almost no one actually stays here until sunrise. Once the safe zone rules are broken, almost everyone leaves before sunrise.

This is an unspoken rule that intelligence personnel have cultivated over the years through careful management.

Under this unspoken rule, the Mainland Hotel also developed its own set of unspoken rules: the moment the first rays of sunlight shine on the earth, this so-called Mainland Hotel will disappear.

Disappearance in a truly physical sense!

It should be noted that from the moment Sherlock and his group entered this so-called Continental Hotel, the information market in its core area had always been housed in prefabricated buildings, while the residential area consisted of simply renovated abandoned houses.

This means that these houses will be abandoned by the Mainland Hotel after sunrise, and a new Mainland Hotel will be built in the ruins of a brand new town before night falls again.

Over the years, this rule has never failed.

This is why Zhao Weike led everyone to leave before dawn; after all, only by hiding among the crowd could they better conceal their identities.

Sherlock and Helen naturally had no objections to this; in fact, they both felt they had learned something new.

As for Doro, he slept soundly in Helen's arms the whole time, like a dead pig, and none of the three of them actually thought of waking him up.

As for the intelligence on the satellite map, Zhao Weike, sitting in the passenger seat, handed over everything he had prepared to Sherlock before finally curling up in the passenger seat and falling asleep.

Sherlock, however, didn't seem to care and wasn't in a hurry to rescue Tony according to the plan. Instead, he drove the three of them to a relatively open place to set up camp.

After all, neither Helen, Zhao Weike, nor Sherlock themselves slept well last night, so they might as well find a place to get some rest.

With Sherlock's alchemy skills, creating a "luxury" version of the camp would be a piece of cake.

When a building with a garage and a Middle Eastern flair rose from the ground, Helen, the only one who was still conscious, almost popped her eyes out. Although she had known that Sherlock knew alchemy, she never expected that alchemy would be so convenient.

As Helen waited for Sherlock to get back into the car and drive it into the garage, the first thing she said to him was...

"I swear, Sherlock, if you were willing to go into real estate, you'd be the next Tony Stark!"
