Rescue

Just then, Balthazar saw the iron chains binding the statue and was about to use magic to bring it over when he heard footsteps behind him. The person who came was Maxim.

"Balthazar, it's not a pleasant feeling to be stuck in Quicksand Carpet, is it?"

Balthazar curled his lip. "It's not that I can't accept it, why don't you come in and experience it for yourself?"

Maxim walked around the Quicksand Carpet, stood before Balthazar, and asked, "Did you bring the Grimhold?"

Looking at his former comrade-in-arms, Balthazar slowly said, "Maxim, you actually imprisoned Dave in Grimhold! He's our teacher's bloodline successor!"

Maxim shrugged, then said nonchalantly, "Let him experience what it's like to be locked up in there. You know, I've been in there for centuries."

Maxim then pointed his wand at Balthazar, the Gem on the wand emitting a blue light, and said, "Balthazar, enough of that nonsense, did you bring the Grimhold that holds Morgana imprisoned?"

"Never mind, I'll check it myself."

Maxim waved his hand, and a wisp of gray smoke drifted out, then circled around Balthazar's body, finally disappearing into his leather jacket.

"So that's where it was hidden."

With a wave of his hand, Maxim sent the Grimhold flying out of Balthazar's arms and into his hand.

Maxim frowned slightly upon receiving the Grimhold, and asked in confusion, "Why is it so much lighter?"

Looking at the faces displayed on the Grimhold, he asked in astonishment, "Where are the other sealed members of the Morganian Gang?"

"Never mind, as long as Morgana is still inside, that's fine."

As he spoke, Maxim waved his wand, and a standing mirror, which had been transformed into Magic Mirror Prison, fell from the roof, intending to imprison Balthazar for good.

Maxim then left the room without looking back. He knew that Balthazar's strength was equal to his own, and these methods could only control him temporarily, not for long.

"Drake, drive to the Battery Park and proceed with the unsealing and resurrection magic."

He needed to get to the Battery Park immediately and release Morgana, who was sealed inside, only then could he be unafraid of the combined attack of Balthazar and his apprentice.

On the other side.

Charlotte and Ginny returned to the Agency.

Just then, Charlotte walked in, and Umino Iruka from the service desk came over and said:

"Lord Charlotte, Balthazar looked for you earlier, but left in a hurry after confirming you weren't there."

Hearing Iruka's words, Charlotte frowned slightly. "Ginny, go order first, I'll see what happened."

Charlotte walked straight towards the Practice Room Practice Room and pushed open the door.

Sharingan - Awaken!

A crimson Two-Tomoe Sharingan appeared in Charlotte's eye sockets, and she scanned the round table in the Practice Room, only to find that the Grimhold that had always been there was gone.

Seeing this, Charlotte knew something must have happened, so she immediately took out her phone and dialed Dave's number.

The number you dialed is not in service and cannot be connected at the moment.

Upon hearing that the service area was out of service, Charlotte knew that something had indeed happened. As for why she didn't call Balthazar, it was because, as his teacher, he didn't have a cell phone and therefore didn't have a phone number.

Charlotte left the Training Room, walked up to Ginny, and said, "Sorry, I can't have dinner with you. Something came up on my end."

Ginny, ever understanding, said, "Go ahead and do your thing. There will be plenty of time for dinner."

Charlotte nodded, then Hand Seals: ' Summoning Jutsu!'

After a puff of smoke, Pakkun appeared before them.

Charlotte took out the water glass that Balthazar used and said, "Pakkun, help me find the owner of this scent."

Pakkun sniffed the glass, then said, "Leave it to me!"

Seeing Pakkun rush out, Charlotte followed him out of the Agency.

Ginny watched Charlotte leave, slammed her fork on the table, and asked Iruka, "What happened?"

Seeing Ginny's anger, Iruka smiled and said, "It seems that Lord Charlotte's magic teacher has run into some trouble."

"What, a magic teacher?"

Iruka nodded, confirming again, "Yes, the magic teacher who came a couple of days ago."

Ginny's expression changed, and then she asked, "Could you tell me about this magic teacher?"

Iruka smiled. "I'd be happy to, Secretary Ginny."

·······

It was already nighttime in New York, and the moon hung high in the sky.

Pakkun led the way, with Charlotte following behind.

The two moved with incredible speed, like a whirlwind, sweeping past the people on the road. Before anyone could see who had run past, they had already disappeared without a trace.

At that moment, alarms suddenly went off in S.H.I.E.L.D..'s alarm center.

One of the surveillance personnel immediately reported, "Chakra energy has appeared on a street in Queens, New York, and it's moving at high speed."

At that moment, Coulson walked in and immediately said, "Retrieve the surrounding surveillance footage!"

The staff quickly retrieved the surveillance footage from the vicinity of Charlotte's running path.

Only a blurry figure flashed by in the surveillance footage; it was impossible to tell who it was.

"Slow down the playback speed."

After slowing it down twenty times, Coulson finally saw the running figures on the monitor: Charlotte Doyle and his Ninja Dog Pakkun.

Looking at the two figures displayed on the screen, Coulson pondered for a moment before speaking, "Continue testing this energy source. I need to know where it ultimately went."

Then Coulson turned and left the Monitoring Room, heading straight for Director Nick Fury's office.

Pushing open the door to Nick Fury's office, Coulson said directly, "Director, we've detected an outburst of Chakra energy in the newly established Chakra energy Monitoring Room."

"It has been confirmed that it is Charlotte Doyle, who is running through the city at supersonic speeds. No specific details have been detected yet."

Nick Fury nodded, then said, "It seems the things those people at the Scientific Research Institute have developed are actually effective."

"I thought they were trying to fool me with fake goods. Let's go take a look together."

After speaking, Nick Fury stood up from his chair and walked out of the office.

On the other side.

Pakkun arrived at the foot of a building and said to Charlotte Doyle beside him, "The last place the scent lingered before it disappeared was in this building."

"Superior!"
