Clary was unaware of Robet and Constantine's discovery. She instinctively knocked on the door, wanting to ask her neighbor what had happened, since the commotion upstairs had been quite loud, and if her neighbor was home, they should have been able to hear it.

With a creak, the door to the room opened quickly, and a dark-skinned old woman opened it. But before Clary could say anything, the old woman's expression changed, and she looked at Robet and Constantine, instinctively trying to close the door.

"Witch? That's interesting!" Constantine looked at the Witch with some surprise and laughed, then narrowed his eyes and said, "Since you're Witch, there's no reason you wouldn't have noticed what happened upstairs. Tell me..."

With a "whoosh!", before Constantine could finish speaking, the Witch launched a sneak attack while Clary was bewildered, and a mysterious magic rose from her.

The Witch felt her casting speed was fast enough; even if her opponent was also a mage, they might not be able to react in time...

However, Robet taught the Witch a lesson, showing her what a true wizard is: what kind of wizard are you if you can't fight back?

With a loud "Bang!", Robet threw a punch, shattering the Witch's magic. The Witch was sent flying and landed awkwardly on the ground, staring at Robet in disbelief.

"You! Who exactly are you?!" The Witch, who had fallen to the ground, gritted her teeth and stared at Robet, unable to accept that she had lost to Robet so easily.

"What... what's going on?" Clary looked even more bewildered. She realized that her brain wasn't quite up to par today. Whether it was waking up this morning to find herself scribbling in her dream, or later her mother disappearing, the Demon attacking her, Robet and Constantine appearing to save her, or now Robet suddenly attacking her neighbor, she was finding it all hard to keep up.

Of course, even if Clary was slow to react, she noticed something was wrong with her neighbor. Her neighbor wasn't just a Witch; she had also launched a sneak attack on Robet and Constantine. Could she be connected to her mother's disappearance?

Thinking of this, Clary stared angrily at the Witch lying on the ground, unable to get up, while Robet stepped in first, looking at the Witch lying on the ground and saying calmly, "Speak, tell me everything you know."

Just as Constantine just said, as a Witch, and one who wasn't too weak, she had no reason to be unaware of what was happening upstairs, whether it was about Clary's mother, Jocelyn, or the later attack on Clary by the Demon.

Moreover, since the Witch Witch n't intervene when Clary was ambushed by the Demon, she was definitely not a good person. Therefore, Robet didn't intend to be polite. He condensed a Ki Blast in his hand, as if Robet would blast the Witch to death if she didn't tell the truth.

Of course, before blasting her to pieces, Robet would first cripple her and try to use Mind Reading to examine the Witch's memories.

"Wait! I'm not a bad person!" The Witch sensed a strong threat of death when she saw the Ki Blast in Robet's hand. She hurriedly cried out, "Jost and I are friends. I even have a set of Tarot Cards she left behind; perhaps it holds clues about her..."

The Witch's gaze drifted to the cabinet beside her. Clary instinctively walked over, took down the Tarot Cards, and hesitated as she examined Tarot Cards, seemingly lost in thought.

"You live downstairs, and you're telling me we should look for clues in the Tarot Cards?" Robet was taken aback by the Witch's words, especially when he saw Clary actually going to look for Tarot Cards. Robet was speechless. How could she be so obedient? This Witch clearly seemed strange.

"I..." The Witch tried to explain herself when she heard Robet's words, but Robet's Ki Blast suddenly changed, transforming into a powerful electric current that enveloped the Witch, trapping Witch body on the spot. At the same time, the current continuously penetrated the Witch's body, causing Witch to feel constant pain.

Thunder Shock Suprise!

"Hmm?" However, just as Robet used the Thunder Shock Suprise to bind the Witch, Robet suddenly noticed something. The current in the Thunder Shock Suprise began to change, and then a Dark Power suddenly emerged from the Witch's body. Robet was already very familiar with this power. In fact, when this Dark Power appeared, even Clary recognized that it was almost exactly the same as the Demon she had encountered before!

"She feeds Demon with her own body... I never imagined she was Witch of this lineage!" Constantine said softly, looking at the Witch with some surprise. "But then again, with Demon appearing so frequently in the Hell Dimension lately, it's normal for Witch of this lineage to show signs of rising in prominence..."

"Roar!" Before Constantine could finish speaking, the Demon within the Witch roared, trying to break free from the Thunder Shock Suprise, but unfortunately, it failed.

Even though this Demon is stronger than the Demon that previously hunted Clary, it is almost impossible for it to break free from the Thunder Shock Suprise.

The Thunder Shock Suprise is not without its weaknesses; it can be easily countered by simply being stronger than Robet. However, it is clear that the Demon nurtured within the Witch's body does not possess such power.

"Forget it, let's try reading her memories!" Robet felt the struggle between the Witch and the Demon. He shook his head and reached for the Witch's head, but to Robet's surprise, his Mind Reading failed!

"You think you can read my memories? You're dreaming!" The Witch and the Demon glared at Robet and said in a deep voice, "I'm all too familiar with this kind of method. You won't get a single useful piece of information out of me!"

With a "poof!" sound, as the Witch and the Demon finished speaking, their bodies exploded, turning into countless blood mists that tried to corrupt everything around them.

With a whoosh, the electricity in Robet's hand seamlessly transformed into flames, burning everything around him to ashes, leaving nothing behind.

This is truly an essential skill for any home, travel, murder, or arson!

"It seems we need to find the next clue..." Robet shrugged. Mind Reading has its limitations, and it seems this Witch is also good at it, so it's normal that we were blocked.

"Exploring memories isn't so easy. Many mages possess methods similar to sealing memories, and they are also very skilled at probing memories. So, if you want to probe a mage's memories, you'll easily encounter obstacles..." Constantine, unaware of Robet's Mind Reading abilities, explained in his own way.

"Furthermore, even if you are more powerful and forcibly invade these mages' memories, they can still stop you by modifying or destroying those memories!"

"Is that so?" Robet nodded knowingly, then looked at Clary and asked, "Do you have any other clues?"

Clary was also shocked by her neighbor's death, but Clary found herself much calmer after experiencing so much. In particular, after learning that her neighbor was a Witch and not a good person, Clary did not have a significant emotional change because of the Witch's death.

"This Tarot Cards seems to actually work..." Clary looked up, somewhat hesitantly at the decisive Robet, and whispered, "There's a card that seems to have a close connection with me, and it has a Holy Grail drawn on it."

Clary handed the Tarot Cards in her hand to Robet. Although Robet that he wasn't interested in the Holy Grail, Clary didn't completely believe him.

"Well, you can keep it. Besides that, do you have any other clues? After all, this Witch is dead, and it seems like the trail to your mother is about to go cold!" Robet didn't take the Tarot Cards, but shrugged and looked at Clary, asking her.

Based on the information available so far, it seems almost impossible for Robet to find those who are after the Holy Grail, and the Angel's Blood in Constantine's possession has not shown any further effects. Therefore, finding clues about the mastermind behind this still depends on Clary.

"Something seems off about this Tarot Cards!" However, as soon as Robet finished speaking, Constantine frowned, examined the Tarot Cards, and said.

"Would you like to take a look?" Clary hesitated for a moment, but finally handed the Tarot Cards to Constantine and asked.

"Let me take a look..." Constantine didn't stand on ceremony and directly took the Tarot Cards with the Holy Grail drawn on it to examine it. Soon, a glint flashed in Constantine's eyes, and then mysterious magical hand seals condensed in his hands, which he pulled sharply towards the Holy Grail Tarot Cards.

With a "whoosh!", the Holy Grail, which had been motionless in the Tarot Cards image, began to move under the pull of Constantine's magical power, and seemed to be about to fly out of the image!

Ultimately, Constantine failed; the Holy Grail returned to the image and remained motionless, never actually flying out into the real world.

"Is this the Holy Grail? Did you fail because you didn't have enough power or what?" Robet asked, looking at the Tarot Cards in Constantine's hand with some surprise. "Should we try again? I'll see if I can forcibly take it out for you later?"

"It's because this isn't the real way to retrieve it..." Constantine looked deeply at Clary before shaking his head, then looked at Robet with a hint of helplessness and explained softly, "If we force it out, not only will the Holy Grail be destroyed, but the Tarot Cards will also be destroyed, and then both items will be banished into the void, never to be found again!"

"Huh? If that's the case, wouldn't those who covet the Holy Grail never succeed?" Robet's eyes lit up as he looked at Constantine with some anticipation.

"Uh..." Constantine's lips twitched slightly. After a long pause, he glanced at Clary and said, "That's true, but it means we'll never find those who schemed against us, we won't know the purpose of the Angel's Blood guiding us here, and we won't be able to find her mother!"

"Oh, then let's forget about it!" Robet shook his head in disappointment and looked at Clary, asking, "As you can see, the Holy Grail has been found, but we can't retrieve it yet. We don't know where your mother is. Do you have any other clues?"

"Luke!" Hearing Robet's words, Clary gradually came to her senses. She took the Holy Grail Tarot Cards Constantine handed her back, her eyes flickering slightly, and said, "My mother called me before her accident and told me to contact Luke ..."

"Who is Luke?" Constantine asked, frowning as he looked at Clary, as if he had just thought of something.

"He's my mother's suitor, but they're not officially together yet. I used to think my mother wanted me to seek refuge with him, but now it seems things aren't that simple..." Clary said, taking a deep breath.

"This was left to me by my mother. I am the Shadow Hunter you all talk about, so my mother's identity should be the same as mine. The person my mother wanted me to contact when she was in danger must be someone who can protect me, and he should also have special abilities!"

Clary slowly came to terms with her experience, and her mind began to clear. She put away the Holy Grail Tarot Cards, nodded to Robet and Constantine, and led the way toward Luke's house.

"Wait! Someone's there!" However, just as they were about to reach Luke's house, Robet stopped Clary, gave Constantine a wink, and the three of them tiptoed forward.

"Ugh!" Clary almost cried out in surprise, but thankfully she covered her mouth in time. Robet gave her a look, then vanished from the spot in a flash.

Behind the door, Luke was tied to a chair and being tortured by a group of men, but the men didn't notice that Robet had already appeared beside them.

"Zzzzz!" The next moment, the Thunder Shock Suprise emerged, trapping all the men around. But at this moment, Luke, who was originally tied to the chair, suddenly broke free of his restraints and roared as he charged toward Robet.

With a loud "Bang!", Robet didn't hold back and kicked Luke away, sending him flying. Luke crashed heavily into the wall, causing it to collapse. However, Luke's aura didn't change much; he just looked at Robet with a somewhat surprised and uncertain expression, as if he couldn't believe it.

"Wait! It's Luke! Luke, we're together!" Clary rushed out upon seeing this, afraid that if she didn't come out, Luke would be killed by Robet, after all, Clary had witnessed Robet's strength.

"Hmm? Clary? Who are they?" Luke, who had struggled out of the wall, had shown some subtle changes in his body, but these changes subsided when Clary appeared.
