Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life.

After dealing with Vig, Sherlock turned to look in Zhao Weike's direction. As for what would happen next, Sherlock wasn't really worried.

Gangs have their rules, and wars have their rules. But whether it's gangs or war, the fundamental rule is the same: the strong prey on the weak.

In war, the strong kill the weak and devour everything the weak possess; the same applies in the underworld.

Vig's death was destined to cause chaos in the Tarasov family, and during this period, both external forces and internal forces would flock to him like sharks smelling blood, wanting to tear a piece of flesh from Vig's corpse.

This situation will continue until a new leader emerges in the Tarasov family or the entire Tarasov family disappears.

As for Sherlock, the murderer of Vig, I'm sorry, but these people who use loyalty and other such pretexts will not stand up for the already dead Vig. Moreover, Sherlock's identity and abilities are the very reasons why they dare not step forward.

The person behind the high table who instigated the war was also destined not to completely offend Sherlock because of Viger. Sherlock actually knew this from the beginning, otherwise he wouldn't have shouted slogans like "war".

However, to Sherlock's utter surprise, when Sherlock turned to look at Zhao Weike, Zhao Weike's expression was extremely complex, as if he were constipated.

?

A question mark slowly floated up above Sherlock's head. He thought Zhao Weike was feeling something because of the death of his former boss, so he asked.

"Old Zhao, what's wrong? Did you poop your pants?"

Sherlock made a joke at Zhao Weike's expense, which earned him a huge eye roll in return. Clearly, the expression on Zhao Weike's face wasn't because of Vig's death, but for some other reason.

Sherlock quickly figured out the reason behind Zhao Weike's expression.

Before Vig died, the only thing that could change Zhao Weike's expression was the so-called Rom Gang, and that godmother or something like that.

"Don't worry, Lao Zhao, I won't tell Helen. After all, it's all in the past."

Seeing Sherlock's sudden realization and his knowing look as he patted his shoulder while muttering incomprehensible words, Zhao Weike felt his blood pressure spike.

Even the emotion she felt for Sherlock's killing spree because of those photos vanished without a trace in an instant.

After swatting Sherlock's hand away from his shoulder in an annoyed manner, he began to explain to Sherlock.

"Stop fooling around, Sherlock, things are starting to get serious."

Hearing Zhao Weike's words, Sherlock didn't react much, but looking at the serious expression on Zhao Weike's face, he said with some confusion.

"What's wrong? Is it because of that Rom gang?"

"That's right, the accurate term should be the Rom family! An absolute power that controls the entire Slavic underworld, and also one of the twelve families that make up the High Table."

Zhao Weike gave Sherlock a brief explanation of the so-called Rom Gang, pausing slightly before continuing.

"And this is also where I was born."

A simple sentence made Sherlock's eyes widen instantly, and for a moment he didn't even know what to say.

If Yosef is indeed hiding in the Rom gang's territory, Sherlock really can't just rush in and kill him, since Sherlock still has to give Zhao Weike face no matter what.

If Zhao Weike continues to act recklessly, countless troubles may await him in the future.

As a friend, Sherlock didn't want Zhao Weike to have any trouble later. In fact, this "war" was essentially Sherlock using his identity to "support" Zhao Weike.

A word of warning to any gangsters or hitmen associated with the High Table: stay away from the Zhao family!

"So, what are you thinking? Are you still going to go see that bastard Yosef?"

After thinking for a long time, Sherlock finally decided to follow Zhao Weike's advice. After all, Sherlock was a complete newcomer to the world of assassins and gangsters, and only Zhao Weike truly understood the rules and messy unspoken rules.

However, to Sherlock's surprise, after pondering for a while, Zhao Weike gave an answer that Sherlock did not expect.

"Let's go! But we need to go to Russia!"

What truly surprised Sherlock was not Zhao Weike's answer, but the look on Zhao Weike's face as he said it, as if he had eaten shit.

Based on Sherlock's years of interaction with Zhao Weike, Zhao Weike's expression can only mean one thing.

"Old Zhao, tell me honestly, were you deep in thought just now because you were struggling with something? Is there something you don't want me to know, or rather, something you don't want Helen to know?"

Sherlock almost immediately switched to a cheeky expression and approached Zhao Weike. His expression was devoid of any emotion, just pure smugness, which made Zhao Weike instantly regret what he had just said.

With a look of disgust, Zhao Weike pushed away Sherlock's cheeky face that was leaning in front of him. Maintaining his cool and aloof persona, he stepped out through the blood, looking like he didn't want to pay any attention to Sherlock.

As for Sherlock, how could he not be tempted after discovering the little secret that Zhao Weike wanted to hide?

Although the secret will soon be revealed to Sherlock, it still won't stop Sherlock from acting like a jerk in front of Zhao Weike.

"What little secret are you hiding? Don't worry, I absolutely won't tell Helen! I'll find out soon enough anyway, so just tell me."

On the way to the airport, Sherlock kept pestering Zhao Weike, wanting to find out from him what he was hiding.

Annoyed by Sherlock's persistent pestering, Zhao Weike finally couldn't help but say something to Sherlock.

"Тызнаешь, чтотырасстроен? Сукаблядь!"

(Do you know how annoying you are? Sukabul! P.S.: The author doesn't understand Russian, so this is a machine translation and I'm not sure if it's accurate.)

???

Upon hearing Zhao Weike's words, Sherlock had three huge question marks on his forehead. He didn't understand the meaning of the first sentence at all, but he somewhat understood the meaning of the second sentence, "Sukabri".

"You swore at me, didn't you? You bastard, you definitely swore at me, didn't you?"

Having lost his composure, Sherlock pointed at Zhao Weike and kept questioning him, but Zhao Weike had an expression on his face as if the matter was resolved, which made Sherlock even angrier.
