Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

"You're talking nonsense! If it weren't for Obadiah's size and weight advantage, I would have beaten him to a pulp already!"

"Hehe, whatever makes you happy! I wonder who was just pinned to the ground, sparks flying everywhere."

"Fxxk! You brat, you unfilial son, do you want to spar with me?"

"Heh, come on, I just took on that big guy with my bare hands, do you think I can tear this can open with my bare hands? Also, if you call me a bastard son again, I'll definitely embed that transformation device into your body!"

"F*** you! We could have had a great time if you hadn't mentioned the transformation device!"

……

Just as the two were arguing fiercely, a car stopped in front of them. The window rolled down, and Little Chili looked at the two men, who were arguing like elementary school students, speechless. She said to them in an annoyed tone.

"Gentlemen, why don't you argue a little longer?"

Sherlock: "Hmph, for Pepper's sake, I won't bother arguing with you!"

Tony: "Hey~ I've got a short temper!"

Chapter 57 Doro debuted? Is that right?

It's worth mentioning that, compared to China, there are many things about the US that would be absolutely incomprehensible to Chinese people, such as the bizarre property tax, the rule that no more than five chickens can be kept in a yard, and things like the rainwater tax.

However, there is one thing that China absolutely cannot match the US in, and that is the legendary American fast food culture that originated in the US.

Sherlock had lived two lives and this was the first time he had ever seen a pizza the size of a trash can lid!

Don't worry about the taste or the quality of the ingredients, at least this thing is really big and it's really filling!

Sherlock, all alone, relentlessly attacked a pizza he had rolled up into a wrap, while Tony and Pepper, facing a pizza the size of a trash can lid, could only share one.

They didn't even finish one pizza, and could only sit there dumbfounded watching Sherlock devour two pizzas that were the size of trash can lids.

After all, during the battle with Obadiah, even with the help of the Philosopher's Stone, Sherlock was still unable to offset the depletion in his body while strengthening his physical body. His current eating habits are simply a way to replenish the body's deficiencies by relying on the high calories of pizza.

But Pepper Potts and Tony saw things differently.

In Pepper's eyes, Sherlock's eating habits were a celebration, an act of venting. Therefore, even though Sherlock's eating habits could be described as unsightly, Pepper's gaze towards Sherlock became increasingly loving and compassionate.

As for Tony, who knows Sherlock's perverse sense of humor, his assessment of Sherlock's gluttonous eating habits and the way he rolled up the pizza was only two sentences long.

'Not elegant at all!' and 'This is an evil way to eat pizza!'

Of course, Sherlock simply ignored Tony's complaints.

After a satisfying meal, everyone returned to Tony's mansion to rest. After all, Tony and Pepper had many things to do the next day, the most important of which was the press conference hosted by S.H.I.E.L.D.

Tony was unlucky, because when he was fighting the Iron Monger, the S.H.I.E.L.D. team hadn't had time to seal off the scene yet, so he was seen by passersby and reporters.

The news of the battle between the two Ironmen almost immediately became a trending topic.

By the time Sherlock descended from the sky to deal with Obadiah, S.H.I.E.L.D. had already completed the blockade. In addition, Sherlock dealt with Obadiah very quickly, and S.H.I.E.L.D. had control over the media.

Therefore, Sherlock was almost invisible during this incident.

That's why Sherlock, being the Invisible Man, naturally didn't need to attend this press conference. That same evening, Sherlock told Tony that he would be watching Tony's 'performance' on television.

That's right, Sherlock didn't go to the scene. Instead, after a good night's sleep, he was having breakfast at Tony's mansion while watching the live broadcast on TV.

Sherlock only turned off the TV after Tony uttered the classic line, "I am Iron Man."

Well, based on Sherlock's understanding of Tony, aside from subjective factors, one of the reasons he acknowledges himself as Iron Man is definitely to solidify his title.

After all, when Sherlock was making breakfast this morning, he was looking at the news on his phone and there were all sorts of different ways of addressing Tony.

There are all sorts of characters, from Autobots to Iron Man, but the most outrageous one is that some even call Tony the "Chinese Wedding Hero"!

The reason is simple: the gold and red color scheme on Tony's armor is exactly the same as the color scheme on a traditional Chinese wedding bride's dress!

Of course, given Sherlock's understanding of Tony, if he were to give Tony a title, Sherlock would probably maliciously come up with something like "The most flamboyant tin can in the world."

After finishing his sandwich in a few bites, Sherlock let out a satisfied sigh.

"It's time to return to my peaceful life."

After saying that, Sherlock took out the Anywhere Door, intending to go to Kamar-Taj to bring Doro back. However, when Sherlock grasped the doorknob and pushed open the door, he did not see the Ancient One, but a black man sitting in the Ancient One's seat.

She seemed unsurprised that Sherlock would come at this time, and silently poured Sherlock a cup of tea before gesturing for him to enter.

?

Upon seeing this, a huge question mark appeared above Sherlock's head, and on a whim, he actually asked a question.

"Mordo, did the Ancient One pass the position of Sorcerer Supreme to you?"

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, Mordo, who had been acting like a superior person, couldn't help but stiffen. Then, with a twitch at the corner of his mouth, he explained to Sherlock.

"I am merely temporarily managing Kamar-Taj on behalf of His Holiness."

Seeing Mordo's serious expression, Sherlock could only shake his head helplessly.

The Ancient One always said Mordo was rigid, but look at Mordo in front of you, drinking the Ancient One's tea and sitting in the Ancient One's seat, how can you see that this thing is rigid?

Sherlock wisely refrained from exposing Mordo's ulterior motives and instead began questioning Mordo about the whereabouts of the Ancient One.

"Alright, Mordo, may I ask where the Ancient One went?"

Sherlock's question only made things worse. Mordo's lips twitched even more after he asked. He pulled a rolled-up poster from his pocket and handed it to Sherlock. Without another word, he put down his teacup, activated a teleportation portal, and left.

Watching Mordo's retreating figure, which seemed to be fleeing in panic, Sherlock had even more questions on his mind. Somewhat puzzled, he opened the poster that Mordo had handed him.

It was bad enough that Sherlock didn't look at it, but after seeing it, he was completely distraught. He even subconsciously activated his alchemy, turning the poster in his hand into ashes.

"Ancient One!!!!"

Sherlock practically screamed the name of the Ancient One through gritted teeth.

The reason for this behavior is quite simple: the poster Mordo handed to Sherlock featured none other than Sherlock's Doro!

Sherlock only entrusted Doro to the Ancient One for such a short time, and you took Doro to Japan to debut as an idol?

Most importantly, the one who debuted was none other than Doro!

You, the Supreme Sorcerer and the strongest person on Earth, not only brought someone else's child into the entertainment industry, but you also became their manager?

No wonder Modu's expression was so strange just now, and he was running around in such a hurry. So that's the reason, right?

This is intolerable! Even I, Auntie, can't stand it anymore!

Chapter 58 The Fantastic Encounter Between the Ancient One and Doro

If you were to ask where the most famous hot springs in the world are, many people would probably give different answers.

However, if you ask where the most and most distinctive hot springs are, many people would probably give the standard answer: Japanese hot springs.

After all, Japan is a country built on volcanoes, and its abundant volcanic resources mean that the number of hot springs in Japan is almost the highest in the world.

Aside from Rome, the idea that Japanese people love taking baths is a stereotype almost worldwide, even though it's true that most of them genuinely enjoy it.

If Gu Yi wanted to relax with Doro, she would naturally choose Japan, since the hot springs here are so famous that even mainland hotels here feature them.

As for the issue of identity, it is not a problem at all for a sorcerer like the Ancient One.

After disguising herself as Sherlock, the Ancient One first took Doro to the Continental Hotel to activate the Sherlock VIP card in her hand. After leaving, she returned to her original appearance and once again took Doro to check into the Continental Hotel in Osaka with the Sherlock VIP card.

That's right, it's the Continental Hotel in Osaka that appeared in "Give Me Back My Dog's Life 4".

This mainland hotel is a mixed-use hotel that caters to tourists other than assassins, so even though the Ancient One has Sherlock's VIP card, it won't attract any unnecessary attention.

The reason for choosing this location, besides the hot springs similar to those at Continental Hotels in Tokyo and Nagoya, is that Continental Hotels in Osaka also has some unique features that those two hotels don't have.

Kyoto City.

That's right, the Continental Hotel in Osaka has the best view of the three Continental Hotels in Japan. Since Gu Yi decided to bring Doro to enjoy life, she would naturally choose the one she was most satisfied with.

And as it turns out, the Ancient One's choice was not wrong.

The hot springs filled with Japanese chicken flavor, the massages from beautiful young ladies, and the top-notch services that can be enjoyed at mainland hotels as long as you have enough gold coins made both Gu Yi and Doro extremely satisfied.

Even the hotels in mainland China were very pleased with the arrival of the two. After all, Doro's appearance is inexplicably popular in a country like Japan, which is almost entirely steeped in anime culture, not to mention that Doro himself is also very cute.

Everything was normal up to this point, even quite ordinary.

An ordinary trip, an ordinary vacation, an ordinary outing.

The reason why Doro debuted directly in Japan was actually due to their subsequent trip together.

Since it's a vacation, you can't just stay in a hotel on the mainland and soak in hot springs and get massages all the time, right? So in her spare time, Gu Yi would take Doro out for a stroll and try some local food.

Because of its small land area, Japan likes to create so-called limited editions or special products for many things.

It has even evolved to the point where each district of a city has its own specialties and exclusive products.

Although it sounds absurd, this situation fascinated Doro and the Ancient One. With the portal ability, the Ancient One and Doro made sweeping up so-called local specialties and limited items their daily routine, apart from strolling around.

As a result, the two of them traveled to most parts of Osaka in just a few days.

However, both of them subconsciously overlooked one thing: their bald heads and anime-like appearances were simply too eye-catching.

In less than three days, an urban legend about the two had already emerged in Osaka, and this urban legend reached its peak when the Ancient One and Doro went to attend a local anime festival in Osaka.

With such fame, the result was that a talent scout mustered up the courage to approach the Ancient One and hand her his business card.

The Ancient One was not a serious person to begin with. In fact, if you really want to compare them, the Ancient One was not much different from the old master of Longhu Mountain. After hearing that the other party wanted Doro to debut, the Ancient One asked Doro a few questions and, after receiving Doro's affirmation, actually agreed.

The reason she agreed was simply because the Ancient One thought it was fun!

And so, in a completely inexplicable process, Doro embarked on the path of becoming an idol, even though Doro himself didn't know what an idol was.

What's absurd is that in any other country, someone like Doro, who looks like a creature from an anime, might not be liked by everyone. But here in Japan, a place where anime culture has taken root.

The release of Doro immediately caused a huge earthquake in this country.

Two-dimensional creatures have come to life in the real world!

As a country that has given birth to abstract concepts like virtual idols, the emergence of Doro is something that Japan simply cannot refuse.

Therefore, in less than a day, the name Doro had reached the ears of almost all the otaku in Japan.

Doro himself was also standing on stage for the first time. With his chubby little hands holding the microphone, he shouted "Human~~~" and the whole Japanese team started to boil over.

Even the Ancient One herself didn't expect that Doro would inexplicably become the number one idol in Japan, and the thing that everyone in Japan wanted to do most was to take Doro home and raise him themselves.

Fortunately, the contract she signed with the agency was under her own control, so Gu Yi could terminate the cooperation with the agency at any time, which meant she didn't have any worries about the future.
