Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life.

Hearing Sherlock's accusations, Gu Yi's expression remained unchanged. She maintained her composed demeanor, keeping a smile on her face, and poured Sherlock another cup of tea before continuing to speak to him.

"No, Sherlock, I didn't arrange anything, I just brought forward the fateful meeting."

Upon hearing the Ancient One's statement, Sherlock finally lost his composure, as the Ancient One's words were tantamount to openly admitting that she had tricked him.

"So, you knew everything all along? Including my parents' affairs, and what would happen after you gave me the Spear of Longinus?"

Sherlock's tone was a bit defensive, and his face was also somewhat dark. After all, anyone would find it hard to accept being tricked and then having their face magnified so closely.

When Sherlock asked her a question, the Ancient One shook her head slightly and remained mysterious as she spoke to Sherlock.

"No, Sherlock, I have already said that the future is always in your hands. I cannot see your future, nor do I need to see it. Giving you the Spear of Longinus is merely delivering what was originally yours to you ahead of time."

Hearing the Ancient One's riddle-like words, Sherlock felt his blood pressure rising. These magical bigwigs always liked to act as riddles, and Sherlock was really fed up with it.

Nima Dumbledore was like this, and now the Ancient One is like this, even the knowledge written by some big shots in their own alchemy books is like this.

Why can't we just talk things out clearly?

Sherlock, his face dark with displeasure, finally couldn't hold back any longer and looked at the Ancient One with eyes full of disgust, complaining irritably.

"Sometimes, I really want to grind all of you riddlers to dust! Wait! No, damn it, Truth is a riddler too! Fxxk!!! You riddlers should be sent to fight Truth, that riddler!"

Sherlock was completely devastated, and for a moment he even felt like he had stumbled into the Riddler's lair.

Seeing Sherlock's devastated state, the Ancient One's smile widened as she comforted him.

"Fate can be so unpredictable sometimes, Sherlock. Follow your heart, protect those you love, and then leave everything to fate!"

At this point, the Ancient One's expression finally showed some fluctuation, at least she no longer maintained that aloof and superior demeanor, and continued to speak to Sherlock with a touch of humanity.

"Sherlock, if you truly wish to glimpse the trajectory of fate, why not become the Sorcerer Supreme? Once you become the Sorcerer Supreme, I swear, fate will be nothing more than a plaything in your hands."

The Ancient One spoke to Sherlock with a slightly mocking expression, pointing to the Eye of Agamotto on her chest, which was emitting a green glow.

Seeing this, Sherlock raised an eyebrow, looking at the Ancient One who was even looking at him with a hint of expectation, speechless. He rolled his eyes in annoyance before speaking to the Ancient One.

"I refuse! This is the 5237th time you've asked me!"

Upon hearing Sherlock's answer, the Ancient One pouted somewhat regretfully and said to Sherlock.

"Really? Never mind then."

Looking at the Ancient One's somewhat roguish appearance, Sherlock felt a wave of exhaustion. Who would have thought that the Ancient One, who appeared so majestic and dignified in the movies, would be so absurd in real life?

But thinking back to the movie, where the Ancient One could lie on the roof of the New York Sanctum wearing sunglasses, drinking milk tea, and watching the Avengers and aliens fighting to the death in the distance as if it were a movie, Sherlock inexplicably finds it quite reasonable.

After letting out a helpless sigh, Sherlock finally gathered his thoughts and began to explain the purpose of his trip to find the Ancient One.

"Obadia is getting more and more out of control. It's no longer safe for Tony. I'd like to leave Doro with you for the next few days. I'll come back to pick Doro up after I've dealt with Obadiah, okay?"

Having heard Sherlock's words, the Ancient One, who seemed to have known all along why Sherlock had come, naturally did not refuse and immediately nodded in agreement.

"sure."

But after saying that, the Ancient One reached out her hand to Sherlock, as if waiting for Sherlock to give her something.

Seeing the Ancient One's actions, Sherlock was speechless.

"With your family's wealth and power, you wouldn't need to ask me for Doro's living expenses, would you?"

"Of course I want to! Why not? Besides, I've already told you that I really enjoy finding new and exciting things to do in this long life."

As she spoke, Gu Yi pointed towards Sherlock's pocket, inside which was Sherlock's wallet!

Does the Ancient One have money to spare?

If Sherlock were to say that, he would definitely slap the other person in the face!

But Gu Yi pointed to her wallet. Could it be that there was something in her wallet that Gu Yi was interested in? Besides money, all that was left in her wallet were cards.

Wait a minute? Card?

Sherlock hesitated for a moment before taking out his wallet and then the metal card that the Judge had recently given him for his VIP status at the Continental Hotel.

Upon seeing Sherlock take out this thing, the Ancient One didn't hesitate at all and snatched the card from Sherlock's hand.

Seeing this, Sherlock was speechless at the Ancient One's behavior and complained irritably.

"No, you actually like seeking thrills in this assassin's lair?"

Faced with Sherlock's teasing, the Ancient One winked mischievously before speaking to Sherlock.

"No, it's just that I haven't enjoyed high-end hotel services in a long time. Oh, by the way, let me tell you a secret: the onsen and massage services at the Continental Hotel in Osaka are unparalleled in the world!"

Gu Yi chuckled as he played with the VIP card belonging to Sherlock in his hand, but what he said left Sherlock speechless.

It's obvious that Gu Yi is planning to take Doro on vacation using his VIP card.

Sherlock rubbed his head, looking a bit of a headache, then sighed helplessly. In the end, he decided to go all the way, since he could rest assured that the Ancient One was watching over Doro's safety.

With his hands clasped together, red lightning crackled in his palms, and a flash of red light appeared in his left eye. The next second, a huge briefcase appeared in Sherlock's hands. Sherlock opened the briefcase and pushed it toward the Ancient One, inside which were neatly arranged gold coins.

"Spend money wisely, and don't feed Doro too much; he's gained some weight recently."

Faced with Sherlock's instructions, the Ancient One waved her hand impatiently, as if Sherlock were some kind of annoying fly.

Seeing this, Sherlock felt his blood pressure rise again. He rolled his eyes in annoyance before standing up to leave through the Anywhere Door once more.

But at that moment, the Ancient One's voice rang out from behind Sherlock.

"Sherlock, if you have time, go and visit the library in Kamar-Taj. I will speak to the King, and the library and the vault of artifacts in Kamar-Taj will be open to you forever."

After hearing the Ancient One's words, Sherlock looked back at the Ancient One, who was playing with Doro, with some confusion. He neither agreed nor refused, but simply opened the pink door and left without saying a word.
