Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life.

Although the two of them inexplicably became pawns in someone else's schemes, it might not necessarily be a bad thing for them.

At least now that the Continental Hotel has rejected the Tarasov family, the two of them no longer need to worry about the hotel's annoying rules.

If that's the case, then this 'war' will truly become a war, and in the midst of a war, both sides will stop at nothing to kill the other. Under such circumstances, the bomb just now suddenly becomes reasonable.

However, this may not be a bad thing for Sherlock. With more weapons available to the enemy, it also means that Sherlock doesn't have to follow any "rules".

In this light, it's possible that the High Table was trying to probe Sherlock's true intentions.

However, for the time being, these things have nothing to do with Sherlock and Zhao Weike.

In any case, the Tarasov family was once Zhao Weike's former employer, and Vig was Zhao Weike's former boss, so it was not difficult for Zhao Weike to find Vig's manor in New York.

This time, however, when Zhao Weike parked the car at the entrance of the manor, Sherlock dared not leave his beloved car parked outside like that again.

After decisively storing his car in a space capsule, Sherlock donned his armor once more, and together with Zhao Weike, armed with weapons, they stormed into the manor through the front gate.

Vig's estate is undoubtedly much smaller than Obadiah's, and not as luxurious, but it is still much larger than an average estate.

Moreover, because of Zhao Weike's initial phone call, Vig's manor was already "overcrowded".

Sherlock was once again at the forefront, with Zhao Weike using the armored Sherlock as cover while firing. Sherlock did a good job fulfilling his role as the "forward".

The P90 in his hand flashed with crimson lightning from beginning to end, and coupled with the red light flashing in Sherlock's eyes, the P90's roar had never stopped since he entered the manor.

Sherlock and Zhao Weike entered the manor house when the entire barrel turned red and even sparks flew. Sherlock then casually used alchemy to disassemble his P90 and took out his 5.7 caliber Glock.

Compared to Zhao Weike's flashy Mozambique shooting technique and his agility honed through countless battles, Sherlock was just a greenhorn, getting shot in the head and then in the body.

Zhao Weike could take down three or four enemies in a second, while Sherlock would need three or four seconds to take down one.

Sherlock's combat talent, fighting skills, and even shooting skills are all inferior to Zhao Weike's, making it easy to see that Sherlock is making a clumsy imitation of Zhao Weike.

Yet, it was precisely this greenhorn who, with the armor he wore, killed people at a speed far exceeding that of Zhao Weike.

The two fought their way from the first floor to the second floor, and from the second floor to the third floor, but no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find Vigor.

Gradually, both Zhao Weike and Sherlock sensed that something was wrong. Finally, the two of them managed to corner a minor leader of the Tarasov family in Vig's office.

Through this underling, the two learned that Vig had not returned after leaving home yesterday!

Zhao Weike's Mustang is now parked peacefully in the underground garage, and has even been specially serviced.

As for where Vig went, unfortunately, the small-time leader in front of him didn't know.

He didn't even know where Joseph was; he was just following Vig's instructions to bring people to guard the manor.

The leader wasn't lying about this, or rather, there aren't many people who can lie to both Sherlock and Zhao Weike at the same time. Zhao Weike could tell at a glance whether the leader was telling the truth or not.

After learning about the situation, both Sherlock and Zhao Weike were speechless for a moment.

The war has begun, and damn it, the enemy leader has run away!

What the hell is the difference between this and the French? The first thing they did when the battle started was for the high command to flee, then the middle command to surrender, and finally the high command to announce the establishment of a government-in-exile to show that they hadn't been destroyed, right?

Sherlock didn't understand, Sherlock was deeply shocked.

Fortunately, Zhao Weike was very skilled at handling such matters. Seeing that Vig was indeed not there, Zhao Weike lost interest in continuing and instead began to press Vig on how to lure him out.

This question was clearly a bit too much for the petty boss who hadn't even graduated high school, but when Zhao Weike pressed the pistol against the boss's head, under the threat of death, the boss finally revealed some useful information.

There is an Orthodox church in the suburbs of New York. A large portion of Viggo's assets are concentrated in that Orthodox church, where they are then classified and laundered.

That was also the most likely place for Vig to hide, since such a place was considered the most closely guarded secret within the Tarasov family.

Upon hearing this news, Zhao Weike shot and killed the small-time leader almost without hesitation, and then told Sherlock to leave.

Sherlock had no objection to this, but on his way out, he casually slipped a lye bomb into each of the rooms he passed.

After arriving at the underground parking garage, Zhao Weike checked his Mustang and found no problems. Only then did Sherlock use a space capsule to store Zhao Weike's precious horse.

Instead of continuing to drive Sherlock's Raptor, the two randomly picked a car on the road, inspected it, and then drove directly to the Orthodox church at the address given by the small leader.

It must be said that Viggo's methods for establishing himself in New York are quite remarkable.

It's important to understand that while the United States may appear peaceful, the reality is that every street, big or small, is home to its own gangs. Almost every gang has its own territory, and it's perfectly normal for gangs to fight over territory every day.

This is especially true in big cities like New York, which are known as "money pits".

Under such circumstances, Vig was able to secretly set up a laundering point for his assets in a church far away from his gang's territory. This alone is enough to show that the Tarasov family is not simple.

Unfortunately, no matter how formidable Tarasov is, he is up against Zhao Weike, who is at the pinnacle of power, and Sherlock, whose combat strength is off the charts.

Amidst the towering flames of the manor, the two men, their faces grim, drove toward the church mentioned in the intelligence report.
