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

In the end, it was Sherlock who handed three cups of coffee to the three people, which eased the somewhat awkward atmosphere.

After Sherlock handed the coffee to the three of them, he went straight to the Flesh-Spitting Clam, wanting to see why Yelena hadn't been spat out by the Flesh-Spitting Clam yet.

However, when Sherlock placed his hand on the flesh-covered creature's body and began his alchemy, his expression became incredibly strange. After looking up at the bizarre and grotesque figures on the scene, Sherlock sighed helplessly.

"Whether you believe it or not, Yelena likely woke up once last night. The Meat Drop's log records that Yelena went back into the mouth on her own."

When Sherlock finished speaking, almost everyone's eyes were fixed on Black Widow. Clearly, there was only one reason why Yelena, who had regained her senses and gained her freedom, could make such a choice: Black Widow in front of everyone.

Chapter 238 Yelena: You Avengers are really playing tricks!

It's obvious that the only reason Yelena didn't run away immediately after regaining her senses is because of Black Widow. After all, Yelena didn't know why Black Widow was among this group of 'villains,' so she couldn't just leave.

When Scarlett Johansson understood Yelena's feelings, the anxiety on her face gradually faded, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face, a genuine smile like that of a bright flower.

Unfortunately, Black Widow, who had long been accustomed to wearing a mask, had her smile vanish in an instant and asked Sherlock a question.

"So what's Yelena's situation now?"

Upon hearing Black Widow's question, Sherlock's expression became even stranger. After thinking for a moment, he finally spoke to her.

"I don't know if you can understand, but it's that kind of deep sleep you fall into when you're in an extremely comfortable state. I have to say, Drekoff is definitely not a good boss. He's really too ruthless in exploiting his 'employees'."

Sherlock shrugged and complained to Black Widow, saying that such deep sleep could only occur in two situations: either one was extremely relaxed or one was extremely tired.

It's clear that Yelena, as a member of the Black Widow's hunting team controlled by Drekoff, couldn't possibly be in a state of extreme relaxation.

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, a look of heartache and self-reproach welled up in Black Widow's eyes. She immediately decided to let Yelena sleep a little longer while the group went to deal with the remaining Black Widows from the previous night.

As for how to deal with these Black Widows, it was actually quite simple. After some discussion, everyone unanimously decided to simply send them back to Sherlock's house through the Anywhere Door.

Let the Black Widows in Sherlock's household take care of these Black Widows who are still in a coma until the Red Room problem is resolved.

Of course, before that, they had to pull one of the leaders out of the mouths of those piled-up flesh-eating monsters, explain the situation, and then send the rest of the people back to Sherlock's house.

Heaven knows if sending it over quietly like this might cause some kind of disturbance.

However, to everyone's surprise, just as a group of people were pulling people out of the mouth of the Meatball, the Meatball in the living room on the other side spat out Yelena.

Fun fact: No matter how soundly a person sleeps, even in deep sleep, there is one situation in which they will definitely wake up: when they experience a feeling of weightlessness.

Yelena regained consciousness the moment the flesh-eating creature spat her out.

Yelena, who had just woken up from a deep sleep, looked up and the first thing she saw was the 'Green Skull' and the Hydra captain pulling a Black Widow out of the mouth of a manta ray in a room full of giant manta rays.

Not only was 'Robinson' standing next to him, but there was also a 'strange man' wearing an iron mask and dressed in green.

Unfortunately, Scarlett Johansson and Wick Zhao were in the kitchen preparing breakfast for everyone and weren't there, so Yelena immediately flew into a rage when she saw this.

Without the slightest hesitation, he jumped up from the ground and charged directly at the four people on the scene.

To be honest, with Yelena's skills, anyone present could easily crush her, let alone Tony, who was wearing 'armor' and had the limits of human physical strength.

However, the problem is that Yelena's identity is too special, and the attack last night was indeed a bit too ruthless, so three of the four people present felt a little guilty towards Yelena, which naturally made them hesitant to fight.

Almost instantly, Captain America, Hawkeye, and Tony were entangled with Yelena, who had regained consciousness. Sherlock couldn't even intervene, because the Black Widow, who was still unconscious and had just been half-pulled out of the fleshy mouth by the group, was almost entirely on top of Sherlock.

Fortunately, at that moment, Scarlett Johansson heard the fighting and rushed out of the kitchen. When she saw the three people fighting with Yelena and holding their hands back, she forgot about the spatula in her hand and immediately shouted.

"Stop! Stop hitting him!"

As soon as Black Widow appeared, the two sides separated almost instantly. Yelena stood alone on the side, looking warily at the captain and his group, along with Black Widow who was still holding a spatula.

Black Widow naturally noticed the wariness in Yelena's eyes, her gaze momentarily dimming, but she quickly regained her composure and waved to Yelena.

Although Yelena was somewhat unsure of the situation, her subconscious dependence on Black Widow made her cautiously approach her and be pulled into the kitchen by Black Widow.

Meanwhile, Zhao Weike was kicked out by Black Widow and joined Sherlock and his group in dealing with the Black Widows.

God knows what Black Widow and Yelena were talking about in the kitchen. Just as Sherlock had finally dealt with the Black Widows and tidied up his Anywhere Door, Yelena's exclamation came from the kitchen.

"What? That guy who looks like Doctor Evil is Iron Man Tony Stark?"

What? That guy who looks like Dark Robinson is Hawkeye? Or your best friend and colleague?

What? You're saying that the guy with the Hydra symbol on his chest and that mustache is Captain America?

What? You're telling me that thing with the green skull that's practically glowing is an alchemist from the Battle of New York? The alchemist who made the Empire State Building stand up?

"No, what do you mean by saying that guy completely covered in a bodysuit is a legendary assassin, or an alchemist's neighbor?"

The exclamation ended with the sound of approaching footsteps.

A short while later, Yelena reappeared at the kitchen doorway, staring wide-eyed at the group of men present.

Seeing Yelena's incredulous expression, as if she were saying "Are you fucking kidding me?", the group of men, led by Sherlock, exchanged glances and then laughed, dropping their pretenses.

The captain removed his helmet, Tony took off his mask, Sherlock deactivated his transformation, and Zhao Weike and Hawkeye also removed their disguises.

Looking at the group of people in front of her dressed as 'villains,' but with faces that were all too familiar to her, and who were smiling at her, Yelena felt like her worldview was about to collapse.

Yelena looked back in disbelief at Black Widow, who was walking out with breakfast and a calm expression. After holding back for a long time, she finally gave Black Widow a thumbs up and exclaimed in admiration.

"You Avengers are really playing dirty tricks!"

Hearing Yelena's exclamation, Black Widow rolled her eyes at the group of men who were letting loose, before replying in an equally annoyed tone.

"You'll get used to it over time."

Chapter 239 Sherlock: Remember, we are Hydra!

In the end, Yelena, her lips twitching, sat down at a table with the group and silently ate breakfast.

After a silent breakfast, the group decided to discuss their next course of action. Now that Yelena was free, it meant that Drekoff no longer had any trump cards to threaten Black Widow.

The only question now is, where exactly is the Red House?

Unfortunately, Yelena didn't know where the Red House was either. She had memories of being inside the Red House, but apart from Drekoff's room, the entire Red House had no windows, so Yelena didn't know its location.

Fortunately, although Yelena did not know where the Red House was, she knew one person who definitely knew.

Melina Voskov.

That is, the 'mother' of both Scarlett Johansson and Yelena!

What surprised Black Widow was that Melina was not only her mother, but also Drekoff's top lieutenant, the chief scientist of the Red House, and even the architect of many programs within the Red House base.

Melina gained Drake's trust by building many systems for him in the Red Room. Within the entire Red Room, Melina was the only one besides Black Widow to have "relative" freedom.

Almost every Black Widow knows about the achievements of the original Black Widow, but apart from base maintenance, no one has ever seen Melina inside the Red Room, which means that Melina actually lives outside.

Unfortunately, Melina's address is almost a top secret in the Red Room. No one knows where Melina is, and Drekoff will not reveal her whereabouts on his own initiative. He will only contact Melina when he needs her.

Aside from Drekoff, there is probably only one other person in the world who knows Melina's address.

Alexei Shostakov.

That is, Scarlett Johansson's 'father'!

Alexei and Melina had a brief history of correspondence due to past 'family' reasons, and he even had a brief history of correspondence with Yelena, although Yelena did not pay attention to it at the time.

Yelena didn't have a good impression of her so-called 'father' because Alexei had ruthlessly abandoned Yelena and her sister for his own sake.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Alexeigan's series of absurd actions only fueled Yelena's intense disgust for him.

"So, if we want to find the Red House, we must first find Natasha's father, and then find out Natasha's mother's address from him."

Most importantly, this address is even decades old? Nobody knows if Natasha's mother has moved or not, or even where Natasha's father is now.

After listening to Yelena's information, Zhao Weike frowned and looked at everyone present, complaining helplessly. To be honest, this was the first time in his life that Zhao Weike had seen just how cowardly humans could be.

You should know that even the 'elders' of the Continental Hotel or the 'leaders' of the High Table are not as well hidden as Drekoff!

After Zhao Weike complained for a while, Hawkeye rubbed his throbbing temples with a bit of helplessness, looked at Tony who also had a constipated expression, and asked Tony.

“Tony, if Jarvis scans the entire globe, how long do you think it will take to find that damn coward’s location? If it’s not working, we might as well go back and have Jarvis scan it, or just ask S.H.I.E.L.D..”

Listening to Hawkeye's complaints, Tony's expression became increasingly constipated. Truly, Drake's caution had really opened Tony's eyes.

However, Sherlock ruthlessly rejected Hawkeye's sarcastic remarks.

"Don't even think about it. With Drake's incredibly cowardly character, he would have disappeared long ago if he had known someone was looking for him. Otherwise, why do you think S.H.I.E.L.D. has ignored the existence of the Red Room for so long?"

After hearing Sherlock's complaints, the group fell silent for a moment. Clearly, there was only one path left for them: to find Black Widow's father and gamble that her mother hadn't moved.

The captain rubbed his head, looking somewhat troubled, before saying with a sigh of relief.

"So, now we're back to square one? We have to find Natasha's father first?"

However, after the captain finished speaking, Yelena raised her hand and said somewhat awkwardly to everyone.

“Actually, I know where Alexei is right now, but my advice is that it would be best if only Natasha and I went to find him. You guys shouldn’t go, especially you, Captain America. My personal suggestion is that you should withdraw from this operation immediately.”

Upon hearing Yelena's words, everyone's attention immediately turned to the captain and Yelena, with almost everyone wondering why Yelena would make the captain withdraw from the operation immediately.

On the contrary, after hearing Yelena's words, Scarlett Johansson seemed to remember something, and her expression was as if she had seen something dirty. She subconsciously covered her face.

Judging from Black Widow's reaction, it was clear that she understood why Yelena had made such a suggestion, and immediately all eyes turned to Black Widow again.

After hesitating for a long time under everyone's gaze, Scarlett Johansson finally chose to reveal the reason.

"The reason is simple: Captain, you have become Alexei's inner demon. He is the equal being created by you by the Russians. Unfortunately, due to the different times, although he has the Captain's abilities, he has not obtained the same status as the Captain, so the Captain has become his imaginary enemy."

Under such circumstances, if the captain had also participated in this operation, it's hard to imagine what kind of foolish things Alexei might have done.

After hearing Black Widow's explanation, Tony pursed his lips, then stroked his chin with a hint of lingering dissatisfaction and offered his conclusion.

"It sounds like one of those stories about fanatical fans turning into hatred, like the old popsicle's sasaeng fan, right?"

Upon hearing Tony's description, both Black Widow and Yelena's expressions became strange. The reason was simple: Tony's description was actually not wrong.

Especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Alexei could be described as a Soviet version of an unqualified and failed captain.

After listening to Tony's summary, Captain America himself was somewhat at a loss. Judging from the expressions of Black Widow and Yelena, Alexei, who had taken her as an obsession, was definitely a more troublesome person than a sasaeng fan.

For a moment, the captain was unsure whether he should continue participating in the mission.

Fortunately, Sherlock stepped forward at this moment, pointed at the captain, and solemnly addressed everyone.

"I'll say it again, what's in front of you is a Hydra Captain created by Hydra using their own biotechnology after stealing Captain America's DNA! Not Captain America! Do you understand? Doctor Doom, Ronin, and Deadshot!"

Oh, right, I forgot to mention, Black Widow and her sister Yelena are just hostages we Hydra kidnapped to get revenge on the Red Room!

Remember our Hydra's code of conduct: merit is rewarded, wrongdoing is punished, and grudges are avenged!

Upon hearing Sherlock's words, Black Widow rolled her eyes in annoyance, while Yelena stared in disbelief for a long time before finally giving Sherlock a thumbs up.

"Wow! You guys really know how to play!"

Chapter 240 The Prison Break Plan - Prologue

It must be said that Sherlock's words provided everyone with a new idea, an idea that could avoid all troubles as much as possible. The only problem was that this path would be an extreme test of the captain's acting skills.

After all, even the captain would find it hard to imagine what it would be like to actually be the captain of Hydra.

Seeing the conflicted expression on the captain's face, Tony cheekily put his arm around the captain's shoulder and started to coax him.

"Captain, I think you can make some sacrifices for Natasha, right? Seriously, if you really can't portray the feeling of a Hydra captain, I suggest you drink more alcohol. After all, you're much more uninhibited when you're drunk than you are now."

Upon hearing Tony's teasing, a smile instantly appeared on the lips of some people present, except for Yelena, who looked completely bewildered. As for the captain, he was rolling his eyes so hard they were practically reaching the sky.

Sherlock, never one to shy away from a good show, pulled two bottles from his four-dimensional pocket and said to the captain with a wicked grin.

"Captain, don't worry about your constitution not being able to get drunk. Look! This one on the left has a 75% alcohol concentration, commonly known as disinfectant alcohol, which is readily available and easy to buy! Of course, if you feel that this isn't strong enough, I highly recommend this bottle of vodka, known as the water of life."

With an alcohol content of 96%, it can be said to be the highest alcohol concentration among alcoholic beverages sold worldwide.

Of course, if you find plain eau-de-vie a bit bland, you can add some flavor by mixing 90% eau-de-vie with 10% whiskey to make a famous flammable oolong tea…

Sherlock seemed to transform into a liquor salesman in an instant, even pulling a bottle of whiskey from his four-dimensional pocket and making a cup of flammable oolong tea on the spot, which he then pushed in front of the captain.

The captain's lips twitched incessantly as he looked at the so-called 'flammable oolong tea' placed in front of him.

Under everyone's gaze, the captain held back for a long time before finally reaching out and 'calmly' pushing away the drink that would be considered a "see you tomorrow" drink by ordinary people, and then said to Sherlock in a serious tone.

"Thank you. I've quit drinking, and I feel more inclined to challenge my acting skills."

Although the captain spoke in a very calm tone, none of the people present were willing to let him off the hook, and they all started laughing heartily, even Scarlett Johansson had a faint smile on her lips.

Throughout the entire process, Yelena was the only one who looked on blankly at the laughing crowd, feeling inexplicably excluded.

Fortunately, Scarlett Johansson noticed Yelena's embarrassment and whispered a few words in Yelena's ear, which earned her an extremely surprised look.
