Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life.

After glaring at the black woman named Nogi, Sherlock found a quiet lounge, closed the door, and then settled comfortably into the sofa, taking out his alchemy book to read.

The reason Sherlock suddenly launched an attack was quite simple: he was warning the Rom gang not to go too far.

The reason he was sent away to meet Zhao Weike alone was probably because there was something he didn't want Sherlock to know, or to be more precise, there were some conditions that only Zhao Weike could agree to, and that Sherlock would never agree to.

Regardless of what the condition actually was, Sherlock felt he should "flex his muscles" to prevent these people from making any excessive demands.

As Sherlock hid himself, Zhao Weike sighed helplessly in his heart before turning around and following Nogi back towards the director's office.

As the main characters left one by one, the 'students' who had witnessed the whole thing without daring to breathe suddenly became lively.

This time, however, the group's discussion shifted from Baba Yaga to Sherlock, the superhuman with the ability to fly.

In no time, all sorts of opinions were being expressed. In less than five minutes, Sherlock's image changed from the initial "vassal" following Zhao Weike to a man covered in muscles, holding the sun in his hand.

As time went on, the rumors about Sherlock in the academy began to become increasingly outrageous.

No matter how outrageous the rumors became, one thing was almost certain: no one dared to come into Sherlock's quiet little house to disturb him!

The director, whether aware that Sherlock was angry or simply that negotiations with Zhao Weike were quick, gave Sherlock a full 15 minutes, but in less than ten minutes, Zhao Weike was already standing in front of Sherlock again.

Unlike before when he came alone, this time Zhao Weike returned with another person by his side.

A beautiful young girl!

Most importantly, Sherlock recognized this girl! After all, she had Ana de Armas's face!

She's a teenage Anna! So young and tender you could practically squeeze water out of her!

???

When Sherlock saw the girl following behind Zhao Weike, three question marks slowly floated above his head.

Good grief, one person went and two came back?

Although I really wanted to meet this girl with Anna's pretty face, that was just a desire to meet her; at most, it could be considered a fan behavior. But what did it mean that you brought her directly to me?

For a moment, Sherlock even forgot to put away the alchemy book in his hand, and just stared blankly at the two people standing at the gate.

Finally, Zhao Weike couldn't stand it anymore. He scratched his nose awkwardly and then spoke to Sherlock.

"Let me introduce you. This is Eve, Eve, and this is Sherlock, my friend and neighbor."

"Hello there."

After obediently greeting Sherlock from behind Zhao Weike, Eve fell silent again.

Seeing the girl like this, Sherlock's face was a blank expression, as if he didn't even know what to say. Good heavens, he didn't see her during his pilgrimage to the holy land, but now she's standing right in front of him!

Completely bewildered, Sherlock could only frantically try to signal Zhao Weike with his facial expressions all over his face.

"Old Zhao, what the hell is going on here?"

Clearly, Zhao Weike understood Sherlock's question. However, unlike Sherlock, Zhao Weike still had some idol image to maintain. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke.

"Sherlock, every family has its rules. I waged war against the Tarasov family, which led to their destruction. As a member of the family, I must ultimately make amends."

The director didn't make things difficult for me; he just wanted me to become Eve's mentor, to train Eve and make her the family's Chichimora. It wasn't a difficult task for me.

Hearing Zhao Weike's words, Sherlock was stunned. Although he didn't show anything on his face, he was already admiring the chief's shamelessness in his heart.

Good heavens, not only did he dare to scheme against Zhao Weike after showing his strength, but he even managed to get himself involved in the scheme.

For Zhao Weike, Eve is his apprentice, the successor of his life's skills.

If anything happens after Eve completes her training, Zhao Weike, given his personality, will definitely not stand idly by. In this way, Zhao Weike can be deeply bound to the Rom family.

Even though Eve was the one who became her apprentice, the director wasn't worried at all that Eve would abandon her family with Zhao Weike or Sherlock, after all, Eve still had a blood feud with her father's killer.

If Eve doesn't embark on this path, finding her father's killer will be harder than climbing to heaven!

Therefore, Eve, who will have completed her studies in the future, is destined to embark on the path that the director had already arranged!

The reason why the director was even involved in the scheme is quite simple: after all, Sherlock is Zhao Weike's neighbor, and Eve, who has become Zhao Weike's apprentice, will naturally go back to New York with Zhao Weike and live in his house.

Over time, even if there's only a one in ten thousand chance that Eve and Sherlock will become close, would Sherlock really stand idly by if Eve really encounters something in the future?

I don't think so.

But if a superhuman like Sherlock were to intervene, or even just provide Eve with some assistance, the benefits the Rom Gang would gain would be immeasurable.

As for whether all of this could be a coincidence?

Obviously, that's impossible!

There are thousands, if not tens of thousands, of students in this assassin academy, so why was Eve, a girl burdened with a blood feud, chosen?

It's obvious that this is all part of that old witch's scheming by the bureau chief!

What angered Sherlock the most was that he didn't even have the right to interfere! Everything was done within the framework of family rules, even bypassing the moat that Sherlock had specifically built for Zhao Weike!

This is what makes Sherlock feel most frustrated.

Looking at the innocent expression on the girl hiding behind Zhao Weike, Sherlock cursed the director's ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart.

After taking a breath, Sherlock barely managed to suppress his anger. Looking at the director and Nogi who were escorting Yosef closer, a cold smile involuntarily appeared on Sherlock's face.

Okay, okay, okay, is this how you play it?

Your Chichimora is gone!

I, Sherlock, said it!
