Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

Damn it, this place is involved in every lucrative illegal industry imaginable. This isn't a chemical factory; it's a shady operation built on modern chemistry!

Upon hearing Tony's words, the people present were momentarily conflicted. After all, the ubiquitous Hydra symbols indicated that this was one of Hydra's bases, but it was hard to imagine that such a black market operation would exist within a Hydra base.

But upon closer examination, it makes perfect sense. If this place really is an independent base left behind by Hydra in the rainforest, as the captain suspected, then such a situation is not unacceptable.

Only Sherlock himself knew that this place was probably one of the private bases of a high-ranking Hydra official, and that all the illicit activities here were likely a place to help this official amass wealth.

After all, both the movies and the later TV series "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." illustrate one thing: the entire Hydra organization is not truly a unified entity.

This is especially true now that S.H.I.E.L.D. is still hidden within S.H.I.E.L.D. After all, as an entity that exists in the open, S.H.I.E.L.D. has limited funds. If it wants to increase the power it controls, then such black market bases are actually necessary.

However, if the appearance of the black market base on the left was surprising, then the research base on the other side was terrifying enough.

This research base is filled with forbidden technologies and cutting-edge technologies.

It contains research on exoskeletons similar to Tony Stark's armor, as well as research on various energy weapons, but the most extensive research is in biotechnology.

Among them, the most numerous and also the most frightening is the research in biotechnology.

On the right side of the field, the crowd saw many imprisoned prisoners and countless monkeys used for experiments.

Most importantly, almost none of the prisoners were normal; some of them didn't even look human anymore, barely resembling human beings!

What's most impressive is that in the very core area there's a guy who looks like the Hulk and a normal human were split in the middle and forcibly stitched back together.

Compared to the chemical black market base on the left, the research base on the right could be heard screams and even wails almost every moment.

Sherlock's Anywhere Door is naturally among them; in fact, geographically speaking, it is located at the core of a research area.

From high above, numerous white lab coats surrounded Sherlock's Anywhere Door, with various instruments constantly scanning it. However, judging from the puzzled expressions on their faces, it was clear that they hadn't even scratched the surface of the technology behind Sherlock's Anywhere Door.

Sherlock wasn't surprised by this. After watching for a while, he patted Captain America and Tony, who were clenching their fists, and spoke to them calmly.

"Leave this place for now. Let's go check out the offices of the higher-ups and see who owns this place. Ideally, we should find out exactly where it is and secure all the evidence. We'll discuss everything else after Scarlett arrives."

After all, if this really is a Hydra base, I'm afraid that if we expose it, this place will be wiped out immediately. Captain, you should know Hydra's methods better than I do.”

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, both Captain America and Tony took a deep breath. Although they felt incredibly angry at this being who violated the bottom line of humanity, they also knew that Sherlock was right.

The two turned around and walked back into the building with almost perfect timing. Just as Sherlock had said, instead of gritting their teeth here, it would be better to do everything they could to secure evidence.

Chapter 225 Limited Edition Captain with the Little Mustache

After the group returned to the building, the captain, relying on his status as a 'high-ranking official,' managed to pull someone along to lead them towards the room of the base's highest-ranking officer.

To be fair, Sherlock's pills were indeed very effective. Even so, no one noticed anything amiss until they arrived at the office of the base's highest-ranking officer.

However, to everyone's surprise, after arriving at the office of the highest-ranking officer in the base, and with the officer's greeting, "Hi! Steve!", the captain instantly became the highest-ranking officer in the entire War Fortress.

Of course, compared to the soldiers and researchers at those bases, it was clear that the highest-ranking officer at this base had not completely succumbed to the effects of Sherlock's pills, but the captain had become somewhat desensitized by the constant greetings along the way.

In addition, after being influenced by Sherlock and his group of bad friends for a long time, the captain actually started to learn from his former greatest rival, Red Skull. With the deception skills he learned from Sherlock, he actually managed to fool the base commander so badly that he was crippled!

The captain inexplicably became the supreme commander of the entire War Fortress, while the original commanders were ranked after Tony!

After the captain, having learned from Red Skull how to fool the base's commander, first made the commander send over the map and the Anywhere Door. He also changed into a standard commander's uniform under the commander's flattery.

You know what, the captain's explosive physique paired with that mustache-style outfit actually gives off a refreshing vibe.

As the commander went to gather the necessary items as instructed by the captain, the group grinned and charged toward the captain, who was sitting behind the commander's desk.

With Sherlock's help in providing hair products, a German officer rolling his eyes soon appeared before everyone, making them burst into laughter.

As for the captain, he's already gotten used to it. Of course, the one who's even more outrageous is Sherlock. The more he looks at the captain, the more he feels a connection to him. In the end, he simply pulls out a transformation camera and turns the captain's commander's uniform into the same style as Red Skull's.

Honestly, looking at the outfit he was wearing, the captain felt a bit physically disgusted; his eyes practically rolled back to the sky. But unlike the captain's disgust, everyone present praised the captain who had transformed into Hydra.

Even Sherlock felt like he was seeing a parallel world.

The captain was also brought out by Sherlock and the others. The impatient, helpless and speechless expression on his face returned to the cold and serious look he had when he was trying to fool the commander the moment the original base commander walked in with his subordinates carrying the Anywhere Door.

The contrast was so striking that everyone almost lost their composure. If it weren't for the commander in front of them, they would have definitely tried their best to preserve the captain's captivating and damnably different demeanor.

After the portal and map were delivered, the captain then had the commander leave, and in an instant, he returned to Steve's original form, leaving everyone thrilled.

Sherlock: Should we try to preserve the captain's current appearance? I think it's a truly unique sight.

Hawkeye: I agree! While Hydra might not be exciting, the Hydra captain is definitely a bit thrilling!

Tony: Sherlock, think of something! If it's hard to preserve, could you consider releasing a hidden edition of this merchandise?

Zhao Weike watched the group exchanging glances and exchanging silent messages, and silently took a step back. He felt that the group in front of him was far too dangerous. "Listen to what they're saying," he thought. "Are they even speaking human language?"

Captain Hydra? Hidden series merchandise?

Zhao Weike was even a little afraid to imagine what would happen next. He felt that the image of the Avenger in his mind had begun to shatter after Sherlock shook everyone over, and now it had completely disappeared without any image at all.

The saying "One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, and one who stays near ink gets stained black" is absolutely true! This group of people have all been infected by Sherlock and turned into a bunch of clowns!

While everyone was exchanging silent glances, some with disdain and others with excitement, the captain's helpless voice rang out.

"Everyone, can you please stop communicating with your eyes? I can understand what you're saying! And Zhao Weike, you have the least right to look down on them. After all, you've spent the most time with Sherlock, so you're the one who's been most affected."

The captain's words made everyone present a little awkward, but fortunately, the captain didn't dwell on it and turned to Sherlock.

"Sherlock, go and bring Natasha over for a look. Also, keep your Anywhere Door safe. It would be terrible if that thing fell into enemy hands."

Sherlock didn't refuse, but simply glanced at the map the commander had sent him and left.

When the Anywhere Door opened again, looking at the hotel beach that everyone was so familiar with across the door, they were filled with emotion. Although only a little over a day had passed, it felt as if a long time had gone by.

The moment Sherlock stepped through the Anywhere Door, he suddenly remembered the mess everyone had made after their drunken night, and a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to his brain.

"Tony, how about..."

The moment Sherlock realized what everyone had done that night, his first thought was to quickly drag someone down with him. After all, if he were to face the wrath of Pepper Potts and Black Widow alone, Sherlock felt he might not live much longer.

However, to Sherlock's utter surprise, the response he received was the sound of the Anywhere Door behind him slamming shut. Clearly, everyone present, except Sherlock, realized what they would face if they went back.

So Sherlock, this unlucky fellow, was directly chosen as their 'sacrifice'.

Looking at the closed Anywhere Door, Sherlock wanted to open it and have a good talk with those bastards, but then he thought that the stupid things they did last night had nothing to do with him, so why was he panicking?

So he abandoned the idea of ​​reopening the Anywhere Door and instead walked confidently toward the hotel.

Meanwhile, in the other office, several grown men swallowed hard as they looked at the still-present Anywhere Door. Zhao Weike, his voice trembling, asked Tony beside him.

"Tony, are you sure sending Sherlock back will vent the ladies' anger?"

Upon hearing Zhao Weike's question, Tony almost instinctively thought of Pepper Potts' outburst of anger, and his face paled instantly. He then spoke to Zhao Weike with a trembling voice.

"I don't know, but at least that bastard Sherlock can try to heal himself with that big fish, right? My god! Captain, maybe we should just stay here and become Hydra!"

Upon hearing Tony's words, the captain finally revealed a gloating expression and shrugged at Tony.

"Impossible! First, if you transformed into a Hydra version of Iron Man, I would definitely be the first to beat you up! Second, I don't have any ladies I'm afraid of, so I don't care about their anger at all!"

As soon as the captain said this, Hawkeye, who was standing to the side with a somewhat pale face, complained to the captain.

"Not necessarily, Captain. You've never seen Natasha get angry. Seriously, you might not be able to beat Natasha when she's angry!"

Chapter 226 Black Widow Falls into Mustache's Den

Upon hearing Hawkeye's words, the captain instantly recalled Natasha's stern, teacher-like gaze, filled with boundless resentment, when they lived next door to Sherlock.

The captain shivered violently for a moment, grabbed the table to steady himself, and then forced an ugly smile onto his face as he spoke to Hawkeye.

"It shouldn't be that bad, right? It should be..."

All that remained in response to the captain was endless silence.

On the other side, after realizing that he had only been drunk the night before and hadn't done anything wrong—at most, he had dragged the captain to fight the tiger—he headed towards the hotel.

However, Sherlock couldn't help feeling a little guilty when he entered the hotel building.

After dawdling for a while, I finally arrived at the door of the room Tony had booked. After mentally preparing myself for a while, I finally raised my hand and knocked on the door.

The moment the first knock sounded, Sherlock heard a flurry of footsteps coming from inside the room, and the next second, the door was suddenly flung open.

To Sherlock's surprise, when the door opened, he was greeted not by the storm he had imagined, but by Helen's warm embrace.

"Good heavens, Sherlock, you're finally back! We couldn't get in touch with any of you all day!"

Hearing Helen's worried words, Sherlock patted her on the back. After Helen let go of Sherlock, pulled him into the room, and closed the door, Sherlock realized something was wrong.

Pepper Potts, Black Widow, Anna, Mindy, and Helen, who had just brought Sherlock in, all stood at the doorway, with Pepper Potts and Black Widow's faces filled with anger.

"Sherlock Flamel! Do you bastards even know the horrible mess you made last night? My God, I've spent the whole day running around trying to fix this damn trouble for you!"

Pepper Potts unleashed her signature "Lion's Roar" skill on Sherlock, and Black Widow wasn't idle either, joining the fray.

"God knows how I got through today. Pepper kept helping you guys pay compensation, while I had to explain to each and every one of you that you bunch of bastard men were just drunk and didn't mean any harm!"

Who spends their vacation in the police station, S.H.I.E.L.D., and the damn government offices? Sherlock, come on, tell me, is this overtime or the damn vacation?

Of course, Anna and Mindy weren't much better off. They told Sherlock that all they had to do on their vacation was swim and play in the sand!

The good news is that those blond guys are real men; if they lose, they really won't contact Anna and Mindy again. The bad news is that Anna and Mindy are furious because their vacation has become incredibly boring!

Even Helen, who had just been extremely worried, began to show an angry expression under the guidance of the group.

Faced with the group of women who were gradually being consumed by anger, Sherlock decisively chose to back down. He gave a French military salute on the spot, and then without any hesitation, he took out the video he had secretly recorded of everyone reviewing the previous night's recap from his four-dimensional pocket.

After everyone present had seen what Sherlock was holding, their gazes toward Sherlock began to turn strange, as if anger mixed with helplessness.

After all, if the events that happened later had nothing to do with Sherlock, then Sherlock would inevitably be involved in every little mishap.

But if we're talking about how all of this is inextricably linked to Sherlock, then aside from the final duel between Captain America and the tiger, Sherlock was in a coma the entire time.

Of course, what's more apparent is the helplessness these women feel towards their men.

Pepper Potts, in particular, felt an urge to disappear into the ground when she saw Tony spraying her in public.

Of course, Scarlett Johansson, Anna, Mindy, and even Helen weren't much better off.

Well, maybe Helen is a little better off? After all, Zhao Weike's impact wasn't that great. In fact, when he was drunk and kicked open the gun shop door with a wooden stick using perfectly standard tactical movements, Helen even found it kind of cute?

When the attacker appeared at the end of the video, everyone present couldn't help but hold their breath for the men, especially Pepper Potts. Although she had been yelling the loudest, she couldn't help but worry when she saw Tony controlling his armor to fight the enemy.

"How is Sherlock Tony? Are you all injured? What happened? Why did only one of you come back?"

Pepper practically grabbed Sherlock's shoulders as she questioned him, shaking him so hard that he felt a little dizzy.
