Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

When Tony said this, his expression was nothing but sarcasm; he looked so utterly deserving of a beating.

Yet it is precisely this infuriating Tony who manages to leave Sherlock speechless.

Well, Tony's eyebrows really are Sherlock's fault. As for the culprit behind all this, needless to say, it's none other than the Zanpakuto, Ryujin Jakka, which is now quietly lying in Sherlock's four-dimensional pocket as a collection.

Sherlock put a lot of effort into creating this Zanpakuto, almost completely replicating the Zanpakuto's soul-targeting properties from the anime. He even created the so-called Shikai and subsequent Kai.

Most importantly, this thing doesn't consume any resources, and there's no trouble communicating with the sword spirit like in anime. You just need to know the release phrase and shout it to release Ryujin Jakka.

It's no exaggeration to say that if this thing were in the hands of an ordinary person, they could become a powerful 'superhuman' in no time by using the Zanpakuto's abilities.

However, that's also where the problem lies. The problem with this thing is that Sherlock is made to be too realistic.

So much so that if someone doesn't have superpowers like heat or fire, they'll almost certainly get burned in their Shikai state.

As for the solution, needless to say, as long as the holder dares to shout, the Blazing Blade will come out and vaporize the user directly.

Tony's hair, eyebrows, and beard disappeared when Sherlock showed off the Zanpakuto he created, which is why Tony is so merciless in his mockery of Sherlock today.

Faced with Tony's sarcasm, Sherlock's lips twitched slightly before he composed himself and calmly looked at Tony, a man with an overly arrogant personality, speaking in an almost calm tone to Tony, who had come to the kitchen with him and was now sitting at the dining table.

"No, no, no, Tony, that was just a small mistake. Besides, my Zanpakuto is far from a failure. At most, it can only be considered that the user is too weak."

"Even you, the creator, can't control it?"

In response to Sherlock's words, Tony retorted almost without hesitation.

Sherlock had long since mastered how to deal with Tony, which was to never get caught up in Tony's rhythm. He calmly took a bite of the sandwich that Chili had prepared and spoke to Tony in the same calm tone.

"That's right, I'm a weakling too!"

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, Tony's eyes widened in disbelief. He seemed completely taken aback that Sherlock would respond to his sarcasm with such a reason. He stared intently at the seemingly indifferent Sherlock in utter disbelief.

I gained a deeper understanding of Sherlock's shameless behavior and his wickedly humorous soul.

Under Sherlock's "unchanging approach to all changes" strategy, Tony unsurprisingly broke down in Sherlock's defenses once again.

He threw down his sandwich, stood up abruptly, pointed at Sherlock's nose, and yelled angrily.

"Fine, even if that's the case, then tell me, why don't you show off all those fancy gadgets you have? Don't think I don't know, you even made two transformation devices!"

As soon as Tony said this, an eerie silence fell over the entire table. Both Tony, who was standing, and Sherlock, who was sitting in a chair eating a sandwich, were stunned at the same time.

Sherlock, in particular, completely lost his initial composure and directly copied the shock and disbelief on Tony's face onto his own. He even forgot to chew and just stared blankly at Tony.

As for Tony, he froze the moment he said those words, his face filled with undisguised regret.

After a long silence in this eerie atmosphere, Sherlock burst into a deafening laugh.

"Hahahahahahaha, Tony, don't tell me you secretly used my transformation device while I was away! Hahahahahahahaha!"

Sherlock was laughing so hard he almost fell off his chair. He was laughing so hard his stomach was cramping, but he couldn't stop. He kept slapping the table to try and stop laughing.

Chapter 32 Tony's Dark History (Part 2)

"You...you're talking nonsense! How could I possibly have secretly tried your lousy alchemical products!"

Seeing Sherlock laughing so hard he could barely contain himself, Tony's face was like a spilled palette of colors, making his rebuttal sound utterly powerless.

Despite Tony's desperate struggle, Sherlock showed no intention of letting him go. After struggling to control his laughter, he turned to Tony with a smile that was even uglier than AK's.

"Really? Then tell me, how exactly did you know I made a transformation device?"

"You and I……"

Faced with Sherlock's questioning, Tony could only stammer and give a vague answer this time. Not only could he not speak, but even the expression on his face began to become increasingly strange.

Sherlock, however, had no intention of letting Tony off the hook. He ignored Tony's expression, which looked like he was about to pass out, and bypassed Tony to give the order to Jarvis.

"Jarvis, retrieve the footage from around 7:30 p.m. a week ago, after I left the garage."

The next second, Jarvis's emotionless electronic voice rang out in Tony's mansion.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sherlock, my database does not contain any footage from that period. All footage of that time inside the building has been deliberately erased."

Hearing Jarvis's words, Sherlock's smile widened, while Tony clearly looked relieved.

The moment Tony heard Sherlock's next words, his expression instantly became tense again.

"Jarvis, attempt to recover the database!"

With Sherlock's order, Jarvis fell into a long silence, and Tony's forehead even began to bead with cold sweat.

After a while, Jarvis's voice rang out again.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Sherlock, the database recovery attempt failed. The operator wiped it very cleanly."

As Jarvis's voice rang out, Tony visibly breathed a sigh of relief, but when he looked down, he saw Sherlock's expression was almost identical to Anya's when she looked at him.

"You deleted it so cleanly, my dear genius, the great Lord Stark! I just wonder if what you're holding is a whip or a pair of underwear?"

It can only be said that Anya truly deserves to be called the goddess of the meme world. Under Sherlock's identical expression, Tony completely broke down. After hurriedly throwing out a vague remark, he turned around and left without any hesitation.

"You're talking nonsense! You little bastard! I'm not wearing anything!"

As Tony fled in disarray, Sherlock's laughter rang out again from behind Tony, even more unrestrained than before, until he collapsed to the ground, clutching his stomach and rolling around laughing.

As for why Sherlock reacted this way, the reason is quite simple: when he was making his Zanpakuto, he made quite a few 'little gadgets' out of his own wicked sense of humor.

Among them were the two transformation devices Tony mentioned.

Of course, while these two transformation devices perfectly replicate the abilities of the original work, and in some ways are even more powerful, the original work itself is not a very serious story, so naturally the transformed appearance is not very serious either.

That's right, Sherlock created the transformation device for Mai Tina, the main female character, and Arakawa Kisaki, the second female character in "Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha"!

Anyone who has watched this anime should know just how terrible their outfits are after they transform.

(If you haven't read it, please go to the cloud drive to read the original novel; it's hilarious!)

Whenever Sherlock thinks of Tony wearing Arakawa Kii's little panties or Mai Tina's sexy queen outfit, he stands bewildered in the garage, not knowing what to do.

Then, when he was forced to frantically operate the computer to delete Jarvis's database while wearing clothing that was extremely shameful for both men and women, Sherlock couldn't control his mouth and burst into a violent laugh.

It's worth noting that Sherlock had a rather wicked sense of humor when he added a setting to the transformation device that prevented the transformation from being reversed for fifteen minutes after it was activated.

It's hard to imagine what kind of mental state Tony was in when he carried out this series of operations.

Sherlock was already regretting his decision to go back to take a shower. If he had turned around and seen Tony like this, Sherlock swore he would eat Tony alive for the rest of his life for this embarrassing moment.

Honestly, if Tony hadn't broken down and blurted it out unconsciously, Sherlock probably wouldn't have known about Tony's dark past, much less have imagined that the thing he casually created to satisfy his perverse tastes actually had a user.

This user is none other than Iron Man, the famous figure in the Marvel universe!

Sherlock found it increasingly amusing and laughed for a while. When he finally managed to control his laughter and re-enter the garage of the mansion, he was met with Tony's murderous gaze.

"Sherlock, I advise you to keep this a secret. If a third person besides you and me finds out, you're as good as dead!"

Despite Tony's blatant threat, Sherlock paid no attention, stepped forward and put his arm around Tony's shoulder before speaking in a cheeky tone.

"Don't worry, Tony, I will never tell anyone. But in return, you must keep the alchemical items I make here a complete secret."

When faced with Sherlock's proposed deal, Tony only thought about it for a moment before agreeing. After all, it would be foolish for Tony to disagree under such conditions.

To Tony's utter surprise, after he nodded, Sherlock's smile became even more sly as he continued speaking to Tony.

"Don't worry, Tony. If only you were dressed like this, it would be considered a disaster, but if everyone wears it together, it will just be a joke."

"???"

Tony was filled with questions at Sherlock's statement, but no matter how much he pressed Sherlock, Sherlock wouldn't reveal what he wanted to do. He just smiled more and more slyly and became more and more mysterious.

Ignoring Tony's questions, Sherlock threw himself into his work for the day, trying to create as many alchemical tools as possible. After all, these things would become his 'power' in the future, and Sherlock wouldn't let such a good opportunity pass him by.

As for Tony, seeing that Sherlock didn't answer him, he could only silently begin his work.

With neither side disturbing the other, the whole day passed quickly.

Because Pepper Potts' outburst yesterday taught Tony and Sherlock a lesson, neither of them had any intention of working overtime tonight.

To Sherlock's utter surprise, just as he was about to leave the garage, Tony called him back again, albeit hesitantly.

"Sherlock, um, there's something I'd like to ask you for a favor, it's just... that..."

Seeing Tony's awkwardness, a huge question mark gradually appeared above Sherlock's head. As Sherlock's expression grew increasingly strange, Tony could only grit his teeth and continue speaking to Sherlock.

"Hey, could I borrow your two transformation devices for one night?"

Hearing Tony's words, Sherlock, sensing that Tony wasn't up to anything, left Tony with a single word before turning and leaving.

"roll!"

Seeing Sherlock turn and leave, Tony, standing in the garage, pouted in annoyance and muttered under his breath as he watched Sherlock's retreating figure.

"Fine, I won't lend it! I'm rich, I can customize things for people! Let me think, what are Pepper's measurements again?"

Chapter 33 Sherlock's Investigation

After learning about Tony's dark past, Sherlock used it as leverage to stay in Tony's studio for three more days. During those three days, Tony was practically running around non-stop.

On one hand, he needs to improve the production of his own armor, and on the other hand, he needs to constantly meet Sherlock's various requirements regarding the mechanical arm.

Fortunately, on the third day, Sherlock finally managed to shove that damned mechanical arm back onto his own arm.

Honestly, Tony almost cried when he saw this scene. It was the first time in his life that he had been "bullied" like this. The most important thing was that the person who "bullied" him was his legally recognized eldest son.

This also earned Sherlock a new nickname from Tony: the rebellious son!

Of course, because of his dark past, Tony didn't dare to call Sherlock that in front of him at all, but that didn't stop Tony from venting his anger by calling him a rebellious son after Sherlock left.

That's why Sherlock didn't know. If Sherlock knew about his new nickname, he would definitely sneer and tell Tony to save the nickname for his own armor.

After all, not everyone can pull off the feat of creating a suit of armor specifically designed to counter their own abilities.

After spending about half a day having Tony make some minor adjustments to his mechanical arm, Sherlock used alchemy to revitalize it before finally getting satisfied and driving Tony's modified Raptor away from Tony's mansion.

Sherlock had promised the original owner of this body that he would investigate the truth behind his parents' deaths, and having made that promise, Sherlock would never break his word.

As for Sherlock's investigation method, it was very simple. After leaving Tony's villa, Sherlock said goodbye to Pepper Potts, rented a house in Los Angeles for a short period of time, and then took the Stark Industries offer given to him by Pepper Potts and went to work for Stark Industries under the alias Shire.

The reason for doing this is quite simple: Sherlock needs to get close to Obadiah to find out the secrets he is hiding, and before joining the company, Sherlock had also done a brief investigation of this old fox, Obadiah.

Obadiah is in charge of business operations at Stark Industries, making him a master of both sales and external business. In addition, he was a business partner with Tony's father, Howard Stark, which gives him a lot of influence within Stark Industries.
