Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

Although the process was a little cruel, Sherlock felt no remorse. After all, whether it was Vig or his confidants, if you really thought about it, even being shot for a minute would be considered a slip-up.

Sherlock wouldn't feel any psychological burden at all, especially since he's currently in the midst of a war.

Chapter 83 Vig, who lacks martial ethics

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 to say, but these people who use loyalty and other such excuses 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 complicated, 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, or 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 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 king who 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 that's 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 find 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, maintained his cool and aloof persona, and walked away 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! Anyway, I'll find out soon enough, 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's mind was filled with three huge question marks. He didn't understand the meaning of the first part at all, but he somewhat understood the meaning of the second part, "Sukabri".

"You insulted me, didn't you? You bastard, you definitely insulted 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.

Chapter 84 Sherlock's Adventures with the Big Hair (Part 1)

Big Mao, the eldest son after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, inherited the vast majority of the Soviet Union's resources and status.

Shylock's only impression of it was the Maoist aesthetics, which was completely different from the Western world, and the cold wind on the Siberian plain.

As for what else Sherlock might remember so fondly, it would probably only be the abundance of beautiful women in the Russian household and the potatoes that thrived in the frigid winds of the Siberian plains.

On the way to the airport with Sherlock, Zhao Weike uttered a sentence in Russian, and when he realized that Sherlock, that rascal, couldn't understand Russian, his expression turned to pleasure.

On the contrary, Sherlock looked sullen and unhappy, as if he had eaten shit. He ignored Zhao Weike the whole way and secretly fiddled with something while avoiding him.

Zhao Weike didn't mind at all and happily took Sherlock to the airport.

Zhao Weike originally planned to take Sherlock to Da Mao's house through the Continental Hotel, but to Zhao Weike's surprise, after arriving at the airport, Sherlock made a phone call, and in the blink of an eye, he and Sherlock were on an airplane that was definitely not an ordinary one.

Upon entering the cabin of this futuristic-looking aircraft, even Zhao Weike, who considered himself to have seen a lot, couldn't help but gasp a few times.

The reason is simple: it's actually a small, armed jet transport plane!

Most importantly, the technology integrated into this aircraft has never appeared in any other country in the world!

That's right, the two of them boarded not just any plane, but S.H.I.E.L.D.'s exclusive Quinjet fighter jet!

Although the Quinjet fighter at this time was far less advanced than it would be in the later Avengers movies, it was still enough to surprise Sherlock and Zhao Weike, those two country bumpkins.

As for who Sherlock called? And who was able to use Quinjet fighters to transport Zhao Weike and Sherlock?

It's very simple, it's Coulson, the good guy at S.H.I.E.L.D.! He's also Sherlock's only 'connection' within S.H.I.E.L.D.

Coulson not only did not refuse Sherlock's request, but even went to Sherlock himself and flew towards the direction of the Great Mao with Sherlock and Zhao Weike.

Of course, the driver, Sherlock, also recognized Agent May, who partnered with Coulson in the TV series.

Throughout the entire process, Coulson never asked Sherlock and Zhao Weike what they were going to do. He simply chatted with them and, after the plane landed, thoughtfully told them they could call him again if needed.

Anyway, the Quinjet fighter jet needs testing, so it's just sitting around doing nothing, it doesn't matter where it flies.

Of course, Sherlock was also a man of principle. When he left, Sherlock gave Coulson a small gold cross necklace and told Coulson to keep it with him at all times, as it might save his life.

Coulson naturally accepted it with a smile, and after Sherlock left, he immediately sent it to S.H.I.E.L.D. for testing. However, no matter how the tests were conducted, the result was just an ordinary golden cross.

Left with no other option, S.H.I.E.L.D. had to return the cross to Coulson as a regular gift from Sherlock.

Sherlock had anticipated this all along. If you could detect something that combined Asgardian magic and technology before it was activated, then Sherlock might as well give up.

When Sherlock arrived in Russia with Zhao Weike, Zhao Weike immediately switched the language to Russian, clearly taking advantage of Sherlock's lack of Russian knowledge. Sherlock naturally glared at Zhao Weike with resentment.

However, what Zhao Weike didn't notice was that although Sherlock looked indignant, there was a sly glint in his eyes, and a small earphone had appeared in Sherlock's ear at some point.

Following Zhao Weike's footsteps, Sherlock soon arrived at the entrance of a theater.

Da Mao's achievements in the arts are unparalleled, and in the field of dance, his ballet is also unmatched. As a result, there are countless ballet theaters like this on this magical land.

Sherlock had no idea why Zhao Weike had brought him here.

But what happened next surprised Sherlock. Zhao Weike walked to the closed theater door, knocked on it, and then took out a coin and slipped it into the crack of the door.

The theater doors, which were originally tightly closed, were suddenly opened like that?

Sherlock followed Zhao Weike through the main entrance of the theater, dumbfounded. Led by Zhao Weike, they bypassed the audience, went up to the stage, and then walked directly backstage.

As the two walked backstage, the crowd gradually increased, mostly consisting of young men and women.

Judging from their physiques, Sherlock could easily tell that these people were all extremely professional dancers.

To Sherlock's surprise, these people looked astonished when they saw Zhao Weike, and then their expressions turned longing, as if they were seeing a celebrity rather than Zhao Weike.

Of course, a few clever kids were surprised for a moment when they saw Zhao Weike, and then turned around and ran towards the backstage area.

Among the growing crowd of onlookers, Sherlock clearly heard a word that was repeated over and over again.

Baba Yaga!

Purely out of curiosity, Sherlock, who was following behind Zhao Weike, quickly searched for the meaning of the word on his phone and then burst out laughing.

Upon hearing Sherlock's laughter, Zhao Weike turned around and looked at Sherlock's location with a puzzled expression, seemingly not understanding why Sherlock was laughing.

But Sherlock flashed his phone at Zhao Weike and whispered something to him in English.

"So, can you tell me why your code name here is an old witch who likes to eat children?"

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, Zhao Weike looked surprised, as if he was astonished that Sherlock knew his earlier code name. However, Zhao Weike quickly understood why Sherlock knew.

Because the 'onlookers' around him kept repeating his previous code name, Zhao Weike became increasingly puzzled.

When did you learn Russian?

Zhao Weike looked at Sherlock, whose shoulders were shaking with laughter, and asked with some confusion.

After all, Sherlock was someone who couldn't understand any Russian before boarding the plane, and he spoke English the whole time on the plane. It's impossible that he learned it on the spot after getting off the plane, right?
