Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life

"I heard you got yourself arrested for using braised black eggs? Damn it, why didn't I think of that idea!"

Hearing Tony's complaint, Sherlock, who was lying on the bed looking at the documents in his hand, rolled his eyes in annoyance before speaking to Tony.

"Is there anything I need? If not, I'm hanging up."

"Wait! Wait! If I'm not mistaken, Blackie went to see you because of that damn Avengers plan, right?"

Looking at the top-secret plan in his hand, Sherlock didn't hide anything from Tony.

"Yes, but because I knocked Black Egg out back then, this plan is now in my hands. So, you agreed to Black Egg's request?"

Upon hearing Sherlock's question, Tony pursed his lips in annoyance and answered Sherlock's question.

"How could that be? Your Tony dad only had some technical cooperation with that bald guy, but to be fair, that bald guy is really rich."

Hearing Tony about to veer off-topic again, Sherlock frowned slightly before speaking to Tony with a hint of annoyance.

"Get down to business. I'm hanging up now."

"No, no, no! It's important! It's important!"

Before Sherlock could finish speaking, Tony interrupted him anxiously.

"Speak quickly if you have something to say!"

"Do you remember the prescription you got for me from the rabbit? Just give me the prescription, or if that's not possible, you can lend me that big fish for a couple of days!"

Upon hearing Tony's words, Sherlock remembered his promise to Tony and immediately put on a malicious smile, speaking to Tony in a calm tone.

"Don't worry, I have the pills ready. I'll use the Anywhere Door to deliver them to your studio right now."

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, Tony thanked him profusely. However, what Sherlock didn't tell Tony was that the pill had a side effect: a forced effect of removing the cinnabar mark.

To put it simply, until Tony's kidney deficiency is cured, Tony can only remain a eunuch.

Chapter 175 The Egg Buster - Sherlock

At this moment, Tony had no idea that Sherlock was plotting to trick him. After hanging up the phone, Tony happily prepared to go to his studio to wait for Sherlock to come and deliver the medicine.

However, Tony underestimated Sherlock's efficiency. When Tony arrived at his workshop, he almost immediately found an exquisitely carved wooden box on his desk.

When Tony opened the box, there were thirty black pills, each about the size of a one-yuan coin, neatly arranged inside. Above each pill was a note recommending one pill a day.

Tony immediately picked one up and put it in his mouth without the slightest hesitation.

You know what, this pill has absolutely no bitterness. The moment it enters your mouth, it turns into a surge of heat that rushes into your throat. That heat travels through your internal organs and finally settles near your dantian, continuously nourishing your kidneys.

This was the first time in Tony's life he had felt such a magical sensation, so dignified and comfortable, that his eyes were filled with excitement as he looked at the pills before him.

This thing is so much better than that damn big fish!

Feeling the changes inside his body, Tony turned around and walked outside with a satisfied smile, completely unaware that there seemed to be a note under the neatly arranged pills.

As for Sherlock, after hanging up the phone, his smile grew increasingly disdainful as he looked at the documents in his hand.

It can only be said that Black Egg is being a bit delusional. If the so-called Avengers plan is really carried out according to the contents of this document, Sherlock is sure that this so-called Avengers is most likely a Marshall Plan.

The reason is simple: according to Black Egg's plan, the so-called Avengers belong to S.H.I.E.L.D., not in the cooperative relationship shown in the movies!

Putting aside the troublesome Hydra agents in S.H.I.E.L.D., which of the people in this document would actually listen to you, Black Egg?

Aside from Black Widow and Hawkeye, who were originally part of S.H.I.E.L.D., perhaps only Captain America could be considered half a member.

Most importantly, this guy, Black Egg, actually wants to control Hulk?

Sherlock could only say that Black Egg was somewhat delusional.

And the facts proved one thing: Black Egg was a dung beetle in a mask—shameless. After Sherlock called the police and sent him to jail, he returned that same afternoon.

However, compared to the embarrassment of trying to show off in front of Sherlock in the morning but being outmaneuvered by Sherlock, Blackie had undoubtedly learned his lesson by the time he returned in the afternoon.

This time, Black Egg obediently stood at the front door of the Sherlock family and knocked on the door.

Sherlock had already guessed that Blackie would return, so he wasn't surprised at all when his door was knocked on. It was just like a panda ordering takeout – the bamboo shoots arrived right to his door.

Upon hearing the knock, Sherlock opened the door almost without hesitation, carrying the documents Black Egg had left there that morning.

And before Blackie could speak, he immediately returned the document representing the Avengers plan to Blackie.

"Hold your documents, don't say anything, listen to me first!"

First of all, I will have absolutely no connection with S.H.I.E.L.D., and you shouldn't even think about me using my alchemical items to cooperate with S.H.I.E.L.D. If you have that idea, I advise you to give up now.

Secondly, the only deal I can accept is to help you identify some unknown items. Of course, it won't be free. As for the price, that's up to me. If your S.H.I.E.L.D. is willing to cooperate, then cooperate. If you're not willing to send any items for identification, then I have no problem with it.

Finally, if you're thinking of asking me to participate in your damn Avengers project and work for S.H.I.E.L.D. for free, I advise you to give up that idea. Judging from the contents of your documents, apart from Black Widow and Hawkeye, you can't control anyone.

"Alright, I've said my piece. You can leave now!"

With Sherlock's rapid-fire speech, giving Blackie no time to react, Sherlock closed the door of his house without hesitation after saying what he wanted to say.

Before Black Egg could react, a burst of scarlet lightning suddenly flashed above the gate, and a sign appeared on the gate.

"If you dare knock on the door again, I'll really turn you into a black slab and send you to the police station!"

After reading the contents of the sign, Black Egg stood at Sherlock's door for a while before transforming into Mama's Fuck and starting to perform his rap.

Drawn in by Blackie's rap, Scarlett Johansson next door opened her door and came out into the yard to quietly listen to her boss's breakdown.

After a while, Blackie finally vented his anger and turned around to see Blackie standing in the neighboring yard. Blackie's already dark face darkened even more in an instant.

Pointing irritably at the tightly closed door, he asked the woman, "..."

"Is this jerk always this infuriating?"

Faced with Blackie's questioning, Scarlett Johansson shrugged with a smile before speaking to him.

“It has always been like this, and apart from a few specific people, Sherlock has an unusual aversion to S.H.I.E.L.D., I told you long ago.”

Hearing Blackie's words, Eggsy glanced at the tightly closed house, then turned and left with a dark expression.

Watching the black-haired man leave without a word, Scarlett Johansson's smile deepened.

After nightfall, Blackie arrived at the S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters in New York, turned on his computer, and prepared to handle some matters for S.H.I.E.L.D.

But when Black Egg accidentally saw the video that was going viral on the internal forum, Black Egg was completely shocked.

"OMG Fuck!! Natasha!!!"

Seeing himself handcuffed and being escorted into a police car by the NYPD, Blackie only needed a moment to think before he knew who had filmed the video. With his defenses breached, Blackie immediately classified the video as one of the top secrets.

Although Black Egg classified the video as top secret, resulting in its removal from the entire internal forum, some busybodies had already downloaded it to their phones.

Just like the nickname "Black Egg," for a long time, this will be an indelible dark history for Nick Fury, and even Sherlock has an unofficial codename in S.H.I.E.L.D.

The nemesis of hard-boiled eggs!

Of course, it wasn't just Black Egg who broke through the Great Defense during the long night; there was another person who also broke through the Great Defense.

Tony Stark!

God knows how terrified Tony was when he discovered he had become a eunuch; his first reaction was that the medicine Sherlock gave him was wrong.

However, when Tony rushed into his studio in a flurry and opened the wooden box containing the medicine, he discovered that there was a piece of paper under the pills.

After carefully taking it out, it turned out to be a handwritten message from Sherlock.

'Warning: This medicine nourishes Yin and tonifies the kidneys, strengthens essence and locks in vitality. Its effects are extremely powerful. Therefore, after taking this medicine, you will be forced by its effects to abstain from losing your vital energy for over a month until you are strong and vigorous. The usual duration is one month, but those with severe deficiency may require more time. It is recommended to use this medicine under the guidance of a doctor.'

After reading the contents of the note, Tony let out a desperate roar.

"Sherlock Flamel!!! I'm not finished with you!!!"

Chapter 176 The Calm Before the Storm

Sherlock was unaware that he had earned the nickname "Egg Killer" within S.H.I.E.L.D., or rather, even if he did know, he seemed indifferent to it.

After the black bacon came and went, Sherlock's life returned to normal. He would wake up naturally every day, start his day with an iced Americano, play games, watch TV, and read books.

Playing with Doro from time to time, life is easy and comfortable.

Aside from Sherlock, the captain's life also gradually got back on track. He usually spent his mornings exercising and educating Anna and Mindy, while in the afternoons he would go home to receive modern common sense education from Black Widow.

Instead of lecturing the two girls in a dogmatic way, the captain influenced them through his own actions.

To put it bluntly, it's a practical application of the theory that "one is influenced by one's company." The team leader hopes to awaken positive energy in the two girls' hearts through the beauty of life and his own kindness.

Ideally, the two girls could give up becoming assassins, or at least temporarily abandon revenge, and peacefully enjoy the youth they should be enjoying at this age.

Sherlock was quite pleased with this, and even seemed to be giving it a push.

After all, only Sherlock knew that Mindy and Anna, those two little girls, would never give up revenge, or rather, give up becoming assassins, as the captain hoped.

Just as you can never force a carnivorous wolf to eat excrement like a dog, the only thing that can lead a wolf astray is a two-legged creature's egg yolk pie!

It was obvious, however, that the captain wasn't the one who could provide that 'egg yolk pie'.

Therefore, in Sherlock's view, all the captain's efforts were merely an inhibitor to prevent the two girls from becoming too immersed in the pleasure of violence.

For these two little girls, that's enough.

Killing is an indispensable part of their lives, but Sherlock does not want them to be immersed in it.

Compared to Captain America, Sherlock, or the two little girls, Black Widow's situation is undoubtedly much more miserable.

The reason is simple: in order to prevent Captain America from becoming too disappointed with the world, Black Widow started a crazy study session.

In the evenings, the captain would be reading Sherlock's damned "The State of the World," and then after returning for lunch, he would question Black Widow.

Black Widow had to explain to the captain, taking into account the background, era, political factors, causes, results, impacts, and many other factors.

In her quest to understand the underlying causes or factors that led to these abstract events unfolding in such an abstract direction, Scarlett Johansson became almost obsessed.

Over a period of six days, Black Widow accessed S.H.I.E.L.D.'s database more times than she had accessed it since joining S.H.I.E.L.D.

Scarlett Johansson wanted to scream to the heavens countless times about this; this wasn't the vacation life she dreamed of!

In order to prepare lessons for the captain, Black Widow practically dumped the entire teaching of modern common sense on Sherlock and the two little girls.

Fortunately, neither Sherlock nor the two little girls failed in this regard, and the captain himself learned very quickly.

After all, the development of society or technology can never escape one rule: to become simpler and more convenient.

Just like with mobile phones, in order to give up many inconvenient things such as computers, televisions, calculators, and calendars, humans have forcibly integrated these things into a machine that was originally only used to make and receive phone calls.
