Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life.

Chapter 192 The Show Begins (Part 1)

As Coulson left, the relaxed atmosphere in the conference room gradually dissipated, leaving only endless silence. After all, the current situation was not good news for anyone present.

They not only lost Loki, but also Thor and Banner!

The only good news is that Hawkeye has broken free from Loki's control and returned to the team, bringing with him a piece of good news that is hardly good news.

Loki seems to have Dr. Erik making something, and the reason he chose to be captured was merely to buy time for Erik and his companions.

Unfortunately, Hawkeye knew what Loki was making, but he didn't know what that thing actually was.

Seeing that the operation against Loki had once again stalled, Black Lu Dan had no choice but to produce all of S.H.I.E.L.D.'s research reports on the Tesseract. After seeing the reports, almost everyone else gave Black Lu Dan a cold shoulder.

This includes Captain America, Black Widow, and Hawkeye, who have the best relationships with Black Egg.

Everyone present knew that S.H.I.E.L.D.'s research on the Tesseract was the Avengers' Plan B, Earth's last line of defense after the Avengers' failure. Although neither Tony nor Captain America liked the plan, its strategic significance could not be denied.

What was truly unacceptable to everyone was that while S.H.I.E.L.D. was researching how to use the immense energy within the Tesseract to create weapons, they also noticed the Tesseract's ability to influence space.

Furthermore, since Red Skull's remains were not found when Captain America was awakened, it is clear that S.H.I.E.L.D. was actually trying to awaken the Tesseract while simultaneously researching weapons using the Tesseract.

Loki's invasion was essentially caused by S.H.I.E.L.D. successfully activating the Tesseract!

Everyone present could accept the responsibility of protecting the Earth, and even accept the existence of a Plan B after themselves, but they absolutely could not accept having to clean up S.H.I.E.L.D.'s messes at any time.

Despite his anger, the information also gave Tony a new perspective.

"Judging from the contents of the document, activating the Cosmic Cube requires a lot of energy, and no matter what our little Bambi wants to do, there are only a few places in New York that can provide the Cosmic Cube with the necessary energy."

And the most suitable place is ————”

At this point, Tony paused for a moment, his expression instantly becoming incredibly interesting. He sprang up from his chair like a spring and immediately rushed towards the room where he kept his armor, speaking as he ran.

"Fuck! My building!!!"

With Tony leading the way, the rest of them naturally knew what to do. Black Widow, Hawkeye, and Captain America almost immediately ran to the helipad of the Helicopter, and piloted Harrier jets to follow Tony towards New York.

Sherlock, however, remained calm and composed, sitting in the conference room with Doro in his arms, staring blankly at Black Egg.

After a while, Sherlock coughed and asked the black braised egg.

"Tony now owns a skyscraper in New York?"

Seeing that Sherlock hadn't taken any action, Black Lu Dan had probably considered at least a hundred topics that Sherlock and he could discuss in private, but he never expected that Sherlock would ask such a question.

After a moment of hesitation, Black Lu Dan gave Sherlock's question somewhat stiffly.

"I bought it around Christmas last year, and it was only recently renovated. What's wrong?"

Upon hearing Black Lu Dan's answer, Sherlock experienced firsthand what the gap between the rich and the poor truly meant since his transmigration.

Although he had achieved financial freedom through alchemy, he was still far behind a tycoon like Tony! Damn it, this was the first time Sherlock had ever heard of someone spending money to buy a building!

Struggling to control his twitching eyes, Sherlock waved to Blackie and said.

"It's okay, I'm leaving."

After saying that, he stood up and wanted to leave, but it was obvious that Black Lu Dan did not want to miss such a rare opportunity for a private conversation, so he quickly stood in front of Sherlock and blocked Sherlock's way.

"Mr. Sherlock—"

Before Black Lu Dan could finish speaking, Sherlock interrupted him by raising his hand. Without any hesitation, Sherlock took out the Anywhere Door from his four-dimensional pocket and spoke to Black Lu Dan before opening it.

"When I was repairing the No. 3 engine, I disabled all the monitoring systems inside the entire space carrier, so I'm not afraid that our conversation will be overheard by people who shouldn't be listening."

Braised Egg, even if you come to me a hundred times, my answer will still be to refuse any cooperation with your S.H.I.E.L.D. I don't like your personality, partly because your S.H.I.E.L.D. is far from as clean as it seems!

Besides, I don't believe you didn't check the necklace I gave Coulson; my technology is something your S.H.I.E.L.D. couldn't possibly possess.

After saying that, Sherlock opened the Anywhere Door, and Black Egg could clearly see the street scene of New York on the other side of the Anywhere Door.

This scene immediately silenced Hei Ludan's desire to cooperate.

Regardless of whether Sherlock's claim about the cleanliness of S.H.I.E.L.D. is true, the value of this Anywhere Door far exceeds the limits that S.H.I.E.L.D. can control.

Although Black Lu Dan often seems to be in a state of worrying about things that are about to happen but doesn't understand why, it doesn't mean that Black Lu Dan is stupid.

The mere existence of any door is enough to prove that what Sherlock just said is true.

The strategic value of the Anywhere Door almost dictates that it can only remain in Sherlock's hands. If technology like the Anywhere Door were to circulate, the worst outcome would be a direct triggering of a Dark Forest game among humans, where trust would become the most expensive thing between people, organizations, and nations.

Black Egg watched almost as Sherlock carried Doro through the door and closed it, the pink Anywhere Door disappearing before his eyes. Only then did he take a deep breath, suppressing the unsavory thoughts Sherlock had about S.H.I.E.L.D., and turn to walk towards the main entrance of the conference room.

At the entrance to the conference room, Hill, as Ludan's adjutant, was dutifully waiting for Ludan, holding a tablet in his hand.

The moment Lu Dan stepped out, Hill handed him his tablet and reported the situation.

"Satellites have detected a large energy reaction in downtown New York City. Captain America, Hawkeye, and Black Widow have already flown to the area at the center of the energy reaction. Tony's team reacted the fastest and is almost there."

According to the location displayed on the communicator, Dr. Banner and Thor were also heading towards the epicenter of the energy reaction.

Hill paused slightly before continuing.

"I've already contacted S.H.I.E.L.D. to coordinate with the NYPD for evacuation and to minimize casualties. Director, should we also contact the military and the Iron Patriots for cooperation?"

Upon hearing Hill's question, Lu Dan shook his head slightly before speaking to Hill.

"Forget it. Apart from the newly formed Task Force 141, the rest of the military personnel can hardly be called soldiers anymore. That Iron Patriot is just a clown that the military has put out to perform, just like Captain America back then. He won't be of any use. We should just focus on providing logistical support for the Avengers and minimize casualties as much as possible."

Hill is contacting the Security Council and the United Nations to prepare for a video conference; we need to prepare for the worst.

Hearing what Black Ludan said, Hill nodded, took back his tablet, thought for a moment, and then spoke to Black Ludan.

"Okay, I'll prepare for the meeting. However, Director, I personally suggest you change your clothes before attending the meeting."

.

After saying that, Hill didn't care what Black Ludan's reaction was and turned to leave. As Hill left, Black Ludan suddenly had an ominous premonition and immediately found a place that could reflect light.

When Black Egg saw its comical reflection, its roar echoed throughout the entire space carrier.

"Sherlock Flamel! You damned little bastard!!!"
