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

A brick, a brick made entirely of gold! What shocked Winston even more was that the brick had the Chinese character '德' (De) written on it in both Chinese and English on all six sides!

Looking at the gold brick that Sherlock had slammed onto his desk, which must have weighed at least ten kilograms, even Winston, with his composure, couldn't help but twitch his lips.

Sherlock's meaning was simple: either tell him where the two girls were and take the gold bricks, or Sherlock would try to persuade him with virtue.

Faced with Sherlock's blatant threat, Winston decisively backed down, quickly putting away the gold brick on his desk and then taking a document from his drawer and handing it to Sherlock.

Sherlock took the document Winston handed him with some confusion and looked at it. After reading it, a huge question mark slowly appeared above Sherlock's head.

"What is this thing?"

"Information on the mortal enemy of the person Anna and Mindy are protecting."

Winston's tone was unusually calm, as if it were a habit, but Sherlock was not happy after hearing Winston's words. He kept recalling the ideas he had taught the two girls out of a perverse sense of humor.

'Faced with the enemy's threat, if I first eliminate their stronghold along with them, ensuring they pose no threat to my VIPs, wouldn't that count as a successful protection?'

When those words popped into Sherlock's mind, he instantly understood why Zhao Weike had been so stammering when questioned.

Good heavens, who would have thought that these two girls would actually go so far as to carry out the bodyguard duties according to their own wishes?

Wait a minute! Given how irritable these two girls are right now...

"Damn it! My beloved car!!!"

Upon realizing what was happening, Sherlock let out a desperate roar in Winston's office. Then, under Winston's incredulous gaze, he pulled out the Anywhere Door from his four-dimensional pocket, opened it, and left.

It wasn't until quite some time after Sherlock left that Charon knocked on Winston's office door, and Winston finally reacted.

"Sir, are you still alive?"

"Come in alive, Charon!"

When Charon entered Winston's office and didn't see Sherlock, he asked Winston with some confusion.

"Sir, where is Mr. Sherlock? I didn't see Mr. Sherlock leave at the front desk."

When faced with Charon's question, Winston pondered for a while before answering Charon.

"Charon, delete all the recordings of Sherlock from the moment he entered the hotel. Don't leave any trace!"

Upon hearing Winston's words, Charon's playful expression vanished, and he reverted to his serious self. He nodded to Winston, then turned and left to attend to his business.

Only after the office door closed again did Winston sit down in his chair with a solemn expression, turn around and look at the bustling street outside. After a while, a sigh appeared on his face, and he muttered to himself with a touch of melancholy.

"You said it wasn't the right time to cooperate. I initially thought you looked down on mainland hotels, but it turns out you were trying to protect them. I really am not qualified to cooperate with you right now."

Chapter 168 The Journey to Find the Car (Part 2)

Winston's words were not unfounded, but based on facts. Winston originally thought that Sherlock could only create some small gadgets at most, and even the things on Mindy and Anna could not affect the balance of the assassin world.

But Sherlock's pink door just now clearly shattered Winston's preconceived notions.

The existence of the Anywhere Door means that there is no place in this world that is absolutely safe. If the Anywhere Door's strategic delivery capability is combined with Zhao Weike's top-notch combat ability...

The rules governing hotels in mainland China will change dramatically in an instant.

Those lofty tables could be replaced by ambitious individuals in the blink of an eye, causing an earthquake throughout the entire dark world. At that time, not only would the Continental Hotel, which was attached to the tables, be gone, but even the tables themselves might not be able to survive.

Sherlock's refusal of his two invitations to collaborate was not out of disrespect, but rather to protect himself.

What Winston couldn't understand was that Sherlock never refused, but said that the time was not yet right. Winston couldn't imagine what the world would be like when the time came, so that Sherlock's strategic device, like the Anywhere Door, would become ordinary.

Does that mean we'll be using nuclear bombs instead of bullets?

Winston looked at his so-called 'safe house' and suddenly felt that his 'safe house' was not so safe after all.

Of course, Sherlock was unaware of Winston's ulterior motives at the moment; he was only concerned with what Anna and Mindy had been doing with their beloved car.

Based on the address on the document provided by Winston, Sherlock used the Anywhere Door to travel directly to the Mexican side, and then easily found the target he was looking for in a city near the border.

After all, in this Mexican territory, a manor as luxurious as a 'palace' is simply too conspicuous.

What puzzled Sherlock was that although the manor was heavily guarded, it was incredibly peaceful, not at all like a place where a girl poisoned by his theories had been.

Just as Sherlock was standing not far from the manor, looking at the luxurious estate with some doubt, and even wondering if Winston was lying to him, the roar of an engine successfully attracted Sherlock's attention.

For no other reason than that the engine sound was far too familiar; wasn't that the roar of his own car?

However, what happened next made Sherlock's vision go black, and he finally experienced the helplessness that Zhao Weike had when faced with his own heretical theories.

Their beloved car was seen driving across the desert in the distance, the trail of dust behind it incredibly conspicuous. Most importantly, even though this behavior was already high-profile enough, the people in the car seemed to be afraid that others wouldn't notice them, and they kept honking the horn.

Sure enough, the vehicle was spotted by the manor's security guards before it even arrived. Under Sherlock's incredulous gaze, a 'tin can' just casually popped out of the back of the truck.

What baffled Sherlock even more was that this 'tin can' actually placed a gun that was almost longer than the front of the car and had a full 11 barrels on the roof.

Accompanied by the girl's unique, unrestrained laughter, the enormous thing, which could even be called a close-in weapon system, began to roar.

The spent cartridge cases fell like flowing water, and the eleven barrels spewed out a huge fire dragon that easily smashed through all the obstacles in its path.

If that were all, Sherlock wouldn't be too surprised; it wouldn't be enough to make him suddenly feel dizzy.

What truly made Sherlock feel dizzy was that he watched helplessly as his beloved car drove past him, then crashed through the manor's steel gate without slowing down at all, hurtling towards the buildings inside the manor.

Completely ignoring the landmines buried in the manor for defense, as well as the dense barrage of bullets, they charged forward with the sheer strength of an armored vehicle.

With a deafening roar, Sherlock watched helplessly as his beloved car crashed into the building. Mindy, in the back of the truck, immediately turned his cannon around and transformed into a rogue warrior, sweeping through the entire manor.

Meanwhile, Mindy, sitting in the driver's seat, casually opened the car window, tossed out a talisman, and immediately reversed away.

Braving the countless landmines and bullets inside the manor, Sherlock watched helplessly as his beloved car bounced up and down, was engulfed in flames, and then sped out of the manor amidst sparks and lightning.

The whole thing lasted less than three minutes before the two girls left so casually.

After his car left the manor, an explosion began inside. For a full five minutes, the escalating explosions reduced the entire manor to ruins before finally stopping.

???

Sherlock was completely dumbfounded and full of questions as he watched this scene.

No way, is this fucking right? My own unfounded, heretical theory can actually be put into practice?

No, that's not the point. The point is, damn it, you guys are just messing around my car like this?

Sherlock felt his blood pressure rising. With a dark expression, he began searching in the direction the two girls had left, eventually catching the two audacious girls in a car wash.

Hey, you know what, these two girls are actually pretty polite! After using the car, they even knew to wash it, fill up the tank, and return it!

Enraged, Sherlock immediately erupted, grabbing the two little girls and giving them a taste of what a complete childhood truly meant.

With Sherlock practically swinging the belt in a blur, the two little girls, who had become increasingly unruly ever since acquiring Sherlock's alchemical tools, finally received their punishment.

The good news is that Sherlock's car wasn't damaged. After all, the screws on the car are made of the same material as Tony's armor. Bullets and explosions wouldn't be able to harm it, and even an RPG wouldn't necessarily come out on top.

The bad news is that during the time I was watching Tony's fun, these two girls had done this before!

Upon hearing this news, Sherlock's vision went black again. If one word could describe Sherlock's current state, it would be "regret" without the slightest hesitation.

Damn it, I shouldn't have been so shameless as to tell those two girls my heretical theories in the first place. Now the backlash is coming back on me!

Only then did Sherlock understand why Zhao Weike had that expression after the first mission, and why Zhao Weike stammered when asked where his beloved car was.

After Sherlock's loving lecture, the two little girls finally revealed another piece of information to him.

Although the two young girls in front of me were Zhao Weike's apprentices, their reputation at the Continental Hotel had nothing to do with Zhao Weike anymore, but damn it, they've gotten in touch with me!

And he himself has also gained a resounding slogan and reputation in the mainland hotel industry.

The Heretical Trainer: A top-tier instructor who specializes in training heretical assassins!

"What a tragedy!!!"

Sherlock looked at the two tearful young girls in front of him with a face full of grief and indignation.

Chapter 169 The Awakening Captain

Only then did Sherlock understand why Charon and Winston had reacted the way they did when he entered the Continental Hotel.

So it's because these two little girls have ruined his reputation!

This news was incredibly frustrating for Sherlock. Although he wasn't part of the Continental Hotel's circle, it still left him with a slight sense of sadness.

It's like a straight man suddenly becoming a viral sensation in a specific circle in Chengdu. Although it doesn't have any real impact, it still feels a bit strange.

Of course, although Sherlock was angry, he still led the two girls to the local Continental Hotel with a dark face to complete the mission before preparing to take them back.

Well, although Sherlock had intended for the two girls to go down this path from the beginning, it's clear that now, firstly, the timing is wrong, and secondly, her mother's progress is simply too far ahead of schedule!

God knows what these two unruly girls will get up to if things continue like this.

Especially Anna. If things continue like this, and Anna really goes to that snowy mountain town for revenge, just like in the movie, let alone whether it will cause a war.

The question is whether that town can even survive. With Anna's current methods and Mindy's firepower, let alone Zhao Weike stopping them, even the Avengers might not be able to win!

While Sherlock was still worrying about the two girls beside him who were developing too rapidly down the wrong path, on the other side of New York City, a woman with an explosive figure stood in Times Square, looking at the dazzling lights and bustling city with a bewildered expression.

That's right, this person is none other than Captain America, Steve Rogers, who has the nickname "Eagle's Butt".

After being a popsicle for over seventy years, Steve was successfully awakened by S.H.I.E.L.D.

However, upon seeing the modern society filled with technology, the jarring feeling of being transported to another world constantly tormented Steve, who had just regained consciousness.

Especially after talking to the black succulent, Steve felt as if fate had played a cruel joke on him.

The good news is that his former lover has not passed away.

The bad news is that Steve was played a cruel joke on by fate, experiencing what it means to be "born before I was born, and born after you were old."

Looking at Captain America, who seemed somewhat dazed while sitting in the car, Blackie pondered for a moment before speaking to Captain America beside him.

"Steve, don't worry, S.H.I.E.L.D. has already arranged accommodation for you. Someone will help you gradually integrate into modern society. Trust me, you'll like your future neighbors."

As he finished speaking, Blackie looked at Captain America, who was still somewhat confused, and gave him a mysterious smile, which gave Steve a bad feeling.

However, Steve couldn't find anything wrong with it throughout the entire process.

The convoy took him to a quiet and peaceful community. If this were Steve's time, it would be a genuine wealthy community.

When the car stopped in front of a house, Steve was somewhat surprised by S.H.I.E.L.D.'s thoughtfulness.

Well, this house is completely out of place with the surrounding houses in this community. It has a kind of beauty from the last century. It's obvious that this house was temporarily renovated to accommodate Steve.

At Black Egg's prompting, Steve opened the car door and slowly walked towards the house's gate. As soon as Steve opened the door, a sense of security instantly enveloped him.

The reason is simple: everything inside the house perfectly replicates the familiar, or rather, the outdated, appearance that Steve used to know.

Although to a normal person, the house in front of them might only be considered to have electricity and water, it was no longer suitable for Steve, who had just awakened from being frozen.

"Thank you. Um, Black Egg? Your name is strange. Believe me, I don't mean any discrimination, but with the abolition of apartheid, I still suggest you change your name."

Steve spoke sincerely to the black-haired man following behind him, his face showing no sign of unease, just as people expected Captain America, the moral exemplar, to say.

However, after Steve finished speaking, Blackie's expression was not so good. His already dark face darkened even more, and the SHIELD agents who followed him also let out a suppressed laugh.

The laughter reached Black Egg's ears, making his face even darker.

After holding back his emotions for a long time with a dark expression, he finally managed to control himself and tried to relax his back teeth as he spoke to the captain.

“My name is Nick Fury! And this is Natasha, Agent Natasha Romanoff. She will be here for a week to help you get acquainted with modern society.”

After saying that, Blackie turned and walked outside. As the door closed, all that was left inside was a bewildered Captain America and Black Widow, who finally managed to laugh out loud.

Seeing Black Widow laughing heartily, Captain America looked at her somewhat awkwardly and asked a little embarrassedly.

Did I say something wrong?

Upon hearing Steve's words, Black Widow smiled and waved her hand to explain to Steve.

"No, no, no, don't worry about it. Our director just dislikes this nickname. In fact, everyone in S.H.I.E.L.D. knows this nickname. It has become the director's private code name."

Even though this codename has long been classified as top secret by our dear Chief Baldy! Hahahahahahahahaha!!

When Black Widow got to this point, she couldn't help but laugh again. After hearing her explanation, Steve, who had regained consciousness, finally had a smile on his face and shrugged at Black Widow.

"I must say, that's very vivid!"

Upon hearing the captain's words, Black Widow laughed even louder. After a while, she managed to stop laughing and said to the captain mysteriously.

"Let me tell you a secret: the person who gave the nickname 'Egghead Chief' is actually one of your neighbors!"

Upon hearing Black Widow's words, the captain looked surprised. After thinking for a moment, he smiled and said to Black Widow.

"Then I will definitely visit him when I have time. He must be a very interesting person."
