Marvel: The Alchemist Just Wants a Peaceful Life...

What angered Sherlock was that these people were so ruthless that they would sacrifice an entire plane full of people just to kill his parents!

Such incidents are even commonplace in this document room!

Hearing the increasingly loud and approaching sirens outside, Sherlock thought for a moment, then casually packed a few documents, and with the packed documents and his parents' documents, he opened the Anywhere Door and disappeared from the spot.

Chapter 45 The Rampage of Obadiah

Sherlock did not choose to go to Tony, but went straight back to his rented apartment.

Unlike Tony, Sherlock, having decided to take revenge on Obadiah, intends to ensure that Obadiah dies penniless and disgraced.

Therefore, the first thing Sherlock did upon returning was to mail the packaged materials in batches to various television stations in Los Angeles.

Not only that, but even bloggers and bloggers who are keen on exposing secrets on the internet were not spared.

Given the nature of the US media and those cryptic bloggers, by that afternoon, the Cleaner Company incident had generated a massive public outcry, directly impacting the Los Angeles police.

It even reached the highest levels of the intelligence community, prompting the FBI to investigate.

Unlike the local police department in Los Angeles, the FBI, or Federal Bureau of Investigation, has nationwide law enforcement powers.

This means that even if Obadiah could influence the investigations of local law enforcement agencies, he would not be able to influence the FBI's investigations into the cleaning company.

What? You're saying Obadiah isn't a Stark Industries executive? Given Stark Industries' close ties to the military, can't Obadiah really influence the FBI?

The truth is, it really doesn't have any impact!

Even if Tony had already shut down Stark Industries' weapons manufacturing division, effectively severing ties with the military, the group would still be called Stark, not Obadiah.

Therefore, when faced with the FBI investigation, all Obadiah could do was to fully utilize his 'connections' and 'resources' to distance himself from the cleaning company.

Sherlock wasn't stupid; he knew perfectly well that this so-called 'cleaning company' couldn't possibly have any real impact on Obadiah. But what Sherlock wanted was the process of Obadiah mobilizing his 'connections' and 'resources'.

You have to understand that Obadiah used to do a lot of work that offended people. When it comes to connections, people probably only dislike him. Even though things have gotten better now, it's hard to change the impression left by the first impression.

Therefore, Obadiah's 'connections' and 'resources' are essentially mostly things stored on the computers in his manor.

If these things are not exposed, it will be fine. But as long as Obadiah uses them, it will inevitably make those who are forced to become Obadiah's 'connections' and 'resources' feel disgusted.

This will inevitably make these people see Obadiah as a thorn in their side.

The more Obadiah uses his connections, the more enemies he makes, and the more enemies he has, the worse his life becomes.

This has almost become a dead end for Obadiah.

But if he didn't do this, the FBI would be watching him closely, and Obadiah couldn't bear to give up his current life of nightly revelry, nor could he imagine what he would encounter if he really went in.

The idea of ​​someone committing suicide after being shot seven times in the back is all too common in the United States.

Of course, Sherlock wouldn't let Obadiah, the old waiter, get away with it so easily. For three whole days, Sherlock hardly left his house, keeping a close eye on how things were going.

Whether it's in the news or online, as long as someone dares to defend Obadiah, the videos and files stored on his computer will almost instantly go viral online.

Without exception, after these people's scandals appeared online, they all turned around and started causing trouble for Obadiah.

After all, in their eyes, I just helped you, and you turned around and betrayed me like this?

You should know that this kind of dirt is only in your hands, and only you have this kind of dirt!

What? You're saying it wasn't you? Then tell me, who else has the exact same dirt on you?

Obadiah felt extremely aggrieved but was helpless. At this point, even if Obadiah was stupid, he probably realized that the contents of the computer in his manor had likely been leaked.

These things, which were originally Obadiah's lifeline, have now become his death warrant, forcing him to temporarily abandon the 'connections' and 'resources' he has accumulated over the years.

Although Obadiah still can't figure out how his secrets were leaked.

The fear of the unknown, coupled with the increasingly clear dead end, fueled Obadiah's increasingly mad behavior.

This kind of performance is also reflected in Obadiah's life and work.

As the leader of the militant faction within Stark Industries, Obadiah began frequently missing company meetings, allowing Tony Stark and his pacifist faction to rapidly erode Obadiah's influence within the company.

Three days have passed, and Obadiah has been almost completely sidelined by Pepper Potts and Tony.

On the other hand, Obadiah seemed unconcerned about this, spending less and less time at Stark Industries.

So where did Obadiah go? It's simple: to his own weapons manufacturing plant!

Although Tony was rescued from the Middle East by Sherlock, the prototype of the Mark I was left in the desert.

Obadiah hired members of the Ten Commandments to salvage these pieces of junk and began repairing and assembling them in his factory.

For Obadiah, there is only one way out left.

He killed Tony, inherited Stark Industries, and then revived the weapons manufacturing division. By leveraging his renewed size within the military-industrial complex, he reached an agreement with the military, who then mediated a deal that allowed him to extricate himself from the situation.

As for how to kill Tony, it's simple: only he can do it himself. On the one hand, it's to vent his anger, and on the other hand, no madman would actually take on a job like assassinating Tony, whether in a mainland hotel or anywhere else.

Moreover, because of Sherlock, the entire mainland hotel industry is currently in complete chaos, and even if they could actually take orders, it would be impossible to complete them in the short term.

Therefore, it was only possible for Obadiah to take action himself.

Moreover, although Obadiah looks down on Tony now, and even resents him, he has never denied Tony's talent. As for the thing that enabled Tony to survive in that hellish place in the Middle East, once it is repaired, it would be a piece of cake for Obadiah to use it to kill Tony.

What Obadiah never expected was that sometimes the difference between people can be even greater than the difference between people and dogs.

Almost every designer who works at Obadiah's contract manufacturing plant is a genius, but even geniuses are just barely able to see Tony's threshold.

Chapter 46 Before the Final Battle

The saying "genius is just the threshold of Tony" is never just a simple statement. Even the Mark I, which Tony considered junk and abandoned in the Middle Eastern desert, was like a foreign language to the experts under Obadiah's command.

All they could do was try their best to repair and improve Tony's technology at the time, or at most replace the original parts with better materials and components.

As for the changes, apart from adding some external weapons, there were basically no changes. In fact, the armor, which was originally only the size of a person, was forcibly enlarged to the size of Hulk.

Clumsy and slow are the hallmarks of the mechs modified by this group. If there is any merit to them, it is probably only the defensive capabilities that are unintentionally created by mindlessly piling up materials.

However, this is not the most despairing thing for them. What makes them most despairing is that they still cannot solve the energy problem.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the Arc Reactor on Tony's chest is just a scaled-down version of the normal size. For this group of people, even if Obadiah had given them the blueprints for the Arc Reactor, they still couldn't get it to be scaled down.

Meanwhile, Tony's armor had completed its test flight. After discovering the icing problem, Tony made improvements, and the official Mark II appeared in Tony's garage.

To test the capabilities of the Mark II, Tony flew to the Middle East for a real-world combat mission, and also took the opportunity to check on Ethan.

Of course, the scene where Tony was chased by planes like a stray dog ​​was also included, to the point that Rhodes called Tony afterwards and gave him a good scolding, and made Tony pay for two brand new F-35 fighter jets.

Such a commotion naturally did not escape the eyes of those at the top, nor did it escape the eyes of Little Chili.

Seeing Tony standing on the control panel in his full suit of armor, being disassembled by robotic arms, Pepper finally understood what Tony had been busy with lately.

Pepper Potts was furious and gave Tony a good scolding.

After all, all she wanted was peace and quiet, and Tony's heroic act made Pepper Potts feel worried.

Of course, in the end, Pepper let Tony go after Tony's words. Just as Tony himself said, he put on the armor to take on his responsibilities, which did not conflict with giving Pepper peace of mind.

Their relationship heated up again at this moment. However, Doro was unusually curious about Tony's armor. After Tony took off his armor, Doro climbed into the empty shell and ran around inside.

As a result, the originally majestic and imposing armor was transformed into a bizarre dance in front of Tony and Pepper because Doro was crawling around inside.

Pepper Potts couldn't stop laughing. After all, just a second ago she saw Tony take off his armor, and the next second the armor, which had just returned from the battlefield, started dancing strange and funny steps. Anyone would find it hard to hold back.

In stark contrast to Pepper Potts, Tony, seeing his armor turned into a comical mess by Doro, almost said to Jarvis with a dark expression.

"Jarvis, have the robotic arm take control of the armor. Also, remember to include an authentication process in the next generation of armor. If it's not being operated by the person in question, the armor should lock up immediately!"

"Ok sir."

Jarvis responded and then tried to control the dancing armor with the mechanical arm, but there was an inexplicable sense of schadenfreude in the mechanical voice that should have been cold and ruthless.

This situation made Little Chili laugh even louder.

After some playful antics, it was Pepper who finally stopped Doro from causing all the trouble, and then jokingly took him to take a bath and rest.

Just as Pepper left, a pink door appeared in front of Tony. Tony naturally recognized whose door it was, since Pepper had the same one.

Sure enough, the next second, Sherlock walked out of the door.

Why are you back?

The moment Tony saw Sherlock, he asked her in a somewhat stiff tone.

Hearing Tony's words, Sherlock was speechless. Clearly, Tony, being so proud and arrogant, was still brooding over the argument he had with Obadiah last time.

Most importantly, you yourself have already taken action against Obadiah, so what are you pretending for with me?

Hearing Tony's words, Sherlock rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. He angrily tossed the things he had collected into Tony's arms, telling Tony to look at them himself. Meanwhile, Sherlock ran over to the Mark II that Tony had already completed and began to examine it closely.

Honestly, the Mark armor looked pretty cool in the movie, but when Sherlock actually saw it in person, his fondness for it still made him somewhat eager to try it.

That desire to collect it was practically stirring within me.

Tony, who was looking at the documents, frowned more and more. When he looked up at Sherlock unintentionally, he saw Sherlock drooling over his armor. Tony immediately complained to Sherlock in an annoyed tone.

"Don't stare at my armor! If you like it, I can give you the prototype!"

Upon hearing Tony's words, Sherlock promptly turned to look in Tony's direction, his eyes sparkling.

"A word is settled!"

Hearing Sherlock's words, Tony shook his head helplessly and turned his attention back to the documents in his hands. After a while, Tony closed the documents and asked Sherlock.

"Sherlock, can you guarantee the authenticity of this document?"

Sherlock nodded without hesitation when Tony asked the question, and then spoke to Tony.

"Of course, it turns out that Obadiah is the murderer of my parents! Tony, for your sake, I'm not going to take action against Obadiah right now."

However, similarly, if Obadiah disregards your friendship and attacks you, I will kill him without hesitation. I hope you won't try to stop me then!

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, Tony fell silent, unsure of what to say.

Seeing Tony's state, Sherlock didn't seem to care. He simply tossed Tony a button-like object and then spoke to him.

"It's best to carry a distress signal with you at all times!"

Seemingly distracted by the distress signal in his hand, Tony skipped over the topic of Obadiah, his face contorted with arrogance, and pointed at the armor behind Sherlock, speaking to him.

"Do you think I'll ever need this thing?"

But in response to Tony's words, Sherlock simply glanced at Tony and went upstairs to check on Doro. As for Tony's question, Sherlock seemed to respond to Tony casually and unconsciously.

"Who knows? Anyway, I have a feeling that Obadiah will make a move against you soon."

As Sherlock finished speaking, he disappeared from the underground parking garage, leaving Tony alone, staring at the distress signal in his hand, unsure of what to say.

Chapter 47 Gu Yi: Living a long time means you'll have a little bit of everything.

Sherlock didn't pay much attention to Tony's emotions while he was in the garage, and went straight upstairs to find Pepper.

Or to be more precise, Sherlock came for Doro. It's obvious that because of Obadiah, Sherlock has realized that Tony's surroundings will soon be filled with danger, and Sherlock won't let Doro continue to have fun with Tony.

Of course, most importantly, Sherlock felt that Pepper Potts was spoiling Doro a little too much, a fact that became clear to Sherlock when he saw Doro.

Goodness, the once adorable Doro has visibly gained weight!

After Doro's whimpering, Sherlock affectionately rubbed Doro, who had rushed into his arms, and hugged the soft, jelly-like body again, looking utterly satisfied.

After inhaling Doro for a while, Sherlock, amidst Pepper's reluctant gaze, took out the Anywhere Door again and prepared to leave.

After all, the battle between himself and Obadiah was about to begin, and Sherlock decided that he had to put Doro in an absolutely safe place before his battle started.

In this world, right now, is there any place that is absolutely safer than the place next to the Ancient One?

Perfect timing! Sherlock also has a lot of questions he wants to ask the Ancient One about this boiled egg that's definitely black inside when you cut it open!

As Sherlock gripped the doorknob of the Anywhere Door once more, a pink door suddenly appeared in the ancient one's room in the distant Kamar-Taj temple.

Faced with this suddenly appearing door, Gu Yi, as the owner of this place, showed no surprise. She continued to brew tea at the coffee table, simply placing a teacup in the direction where the door had appeared.

It seems that the appearance of this gate was something the Ancient One had anticipated.

The next second, as the door opened, a soft and cute voice entered the Ancient One's ears.

"Humans!!"

Accompanied by this long, coquettish voice, a pink-fuzzy ball of fur flew over the coffee table in front of the Ancient One at an incredible speed and crashed into her arms.

As if she had expected this, Gu Yi was not surprised when the pink fluffy ball pounced on her. She easily caught the pink fluffy ball that jumped into her arms, and her expression changed from calm at the beginning to a kind look in an instant.
