Before the Guardian could even react, Robet grabbed his head. He struggled to get up, but found himself enveloped by a powerful aura that rendered him completely immobile.

"Look, isn't this pose familiar to you? Let me check your memory too, after all, you're so stubborn and your acting is so bad..." Robet's mocking voice reached the Guardian's ears, and then he sensed a powerful mental force surging into his brain.

"No! You want to spy on my memories? Dream on!" Although startled by Robet's power, the Guardian stubbornly defended his consciousness, resisting Robet's Mind Reading.

Unlike the previous Witch, this Witch sensed that Robet wanted to read her memories, and knowing she couldn't defeat Robet, she chose to self-destruct along with the Demon, preferring death to letting Robet gain any useful information.

The Guardian clearly did not want to die; he could only use his spiritual power to protect his consciousness and prevent Robet from peeking into his memories.

Unfortunately, Robet's mental power far exceeded the Guardian's imagination. The defensive barrier he had built was instantly shattered into a sieve by Robet's mental power.

Although Robet's Mind Reading wasn't that powerful, Robet own mental strength was too great. Miracles happen with great force, and the Guardian's consciousness immediately became blurred. Then, Robet saw a memory scene.

"How many years have I been in this Magic Academy? What difference is there between me and a prisoner? This is my prison, the prison that has confined me for my entire life!" The memory image did not show the Guardian's appearance, but one could hear the Guardian muttering to himself. Soon, a man walked out of the Portal, and this man was none other than Valentine!

"You've come." The Guardian sighed when he saw Valentine, as if he hesitated for a moment, yet also as if he was already prepared.

"I'm here. Don't worry, as long as you hand over the Holy Grail to me, I can guarantee that you will escape this Magic Academy, regain your freedom, and it's even possible that you will gain greater power!" Valentine looked at the Guardian with confidence, smiled, and nodded, solemnly promising.

"If you bring Jocelyn here, I can help you read her memories and find the Holy Grail!" The Guardian paused for a moment, then looked at Valentine and promised, "No matter how she hides it, she can't fool me, because all her abilities came from me!"

"So, it's a pleasure working together?" Valentine looked at the Guardian with satisfaction as he extended his hand.

"It's a pleasure to cooperate!" The Guardian said without further hesitation after making his decision, and he grasped Valentine's hand.

And so, the scene ends here. It was precisely because of their cooperation with Valentine that the Guardian chose to target Clary, wanting to read Clary memories.

By a twist of fate, Valentine captured Jocelyn, but after drinking an unknown liquid, Jocelyn fell into a deep sleep. Valentine was unable to wake him and hadn't yet had time to bring Jocelyn to the Guardian.

Meanwhile, the Guardian, seeing Clary delivered to his doorstep, thought of his collaboration with Valentine and naturally wanted to make a move. Moreover, he was confident that his acting skills were excellent and that he could deceive Robet and Constantine.

Of course, the Guardian's blind confidence wasn't just based on his acting skills, but also on his ability to easily read memories.

Jocelyn was indeed trained by the Guardian, and Valentine knew her well enough to be confident in reading her memories, but the problem is that Clary wasn't!

And perhaps because Jocelyn knew about the Guardian ' abilities, or perhaps because he feared abilities similar to the Guardian', Jocelyn once took Clary to other magicians to seal Clary's memories, and even reinforced them every year to prevent important memories from being leaked...

Therefore, the Guardian not only failed to read Clary's memories, but Robet and Constantine also saw through his acting. The situation was extremely awkward, especially after he discovered that his mental defense barrier had been completely shattered. The Guardian looked at Robet with despair, not knowing what to say.

"Luckily I made the trip; there was even an unexpected bonus!" Robet laughed as he looked at the despairing Guardian. The enemy's despair was his hope. He conjured a Ki Blast in his hand and said, "Tell me, how did you manage to contact Valentine and get him to come here?"

With a "glug!" sound, seeing the Ki Blast in Robet's hand, the Guardian felt a surge of life-or-death crisis. His expression hardened, and he looked at Robet, stammering, "It's difficult, unless I say I've already found the Holy Grail..."

"Why can't you say the Holy Grail has been found?" Robet raised an eyebrow, glancing at the sleeping Clary. "You have Clary under your control, so isn't it normal for you to have found the Holy Grail? Besides, aren't you the best at acting? Or are you unwilling?"

With a "whoosh," as Robet finished speaking, the Ki Blast in his hand expanded, causing the Guardian's body to tremble slightly. He quickly said, "Okay! No problem! I'll contact him right away! But you need to hide first, otherwise, if he notices something amiss, he definitely won't come!"

Robet excels at changing his identity, even transforming into objects, but Robet's not good at pure invisibility. He also doesn't want to turn into wallpaper and stick to the wall in front of the Guardian. So Robet turned his gaze to Constantine, Constantine, like him, saw through the Guardian ' acting. However, Constantine didn't intend to make a move, but instead watched with interest as Robet threatened the Guardian.

Only when Robet looked over did Constantine speak, saying, "No problem, leave it to me. My invisibility magic is second to none in the magic world. Would you like to take a look?"

"Great!" Robet's eyes lit up. He was extremely familiar with invisibility. Whether it was the Snake Talisman or the invisibility that Susan Storm later gained based on the Snake Talisman, neither could escape Robet's perception, let alone the X-Ray Vision of Kara and Clark.

With a "whoosh!" as Robet finished speaking, Constantine glanced at the Guardian, made a few Magic Sigil, and then disappeared. The Guardian's face, which had been filled with fear of Robet, turned green instantly, because he suddenly remembered that Constantine had used the same method to steal their Magic Academy's Magic Book!

"Here!" Robet raised an eyebrow after Constantine went invisible. To be honest, he hadn't noticed Constantine's location at first, but Constantine moved slightly, as if wanting to show off just how powerful his invisibility magic was, and was caught red-handed by Robet.

It was a true case of being caught red-handed. Robet grabbed Constantine's arm and pulled him out of stealth, just like when Robet had pulled Jess out before.

"Holy crap?! You actually found out?" Constantine exclaimed, staring wide-eyed at Robet. This was his specialty; with it, he had even managed to steal the Magic Book of Kamar-Taj. But now, facing Robet, Constantine's invisibility spell had failed.

This made Constantine wonder if he had truly gone undetected when he was in Kamar-Taj. Although the Sorcerer Supreme's appearance seemed unreliable, his strength was undeniable. Even though Robet could fight against the Hell Demon King, Constantine didn't think Robet was stronger than the Sorcerer Supreme. After all, Robert was a powerful figure who could protect the Earth Dimension and was feared by many Dimensional Demon God and Hell Lord!

Now that Robet could detect his invisibility magic, Constantine had an idea: he would return the Magic Book he stole from Kamar-Taj as soon as this matter was over, in order to ease tensions with Kamar-Taj.

"Not bad. If you hadn't moved around too much, I really wouldn't have found you so easily!" Robet smiled and shook his head at Constantine, then his expression turned serious as he looked at the Guardian and said in a deep voice, "Well then, it's your turn now!"

"Okay! I understand!" Watching Robet and Constantine disappear before his eyes, a hint of fear and resentment flashed in the Guardian's eyes. He glanced at Clary, who was still asleep, then took a deep breath and walked towards the Portal. He dared not play any tricks, because he didn't know how Robet and Constantine would be watching him after they disappeared.

"The power within her is awakening!" Robet glanced at Clary before following behind the Guardian and whispered, "Is this the power of the Shadow Hunter? I feel like there are some differences in the power of each Shadow Hunter."

"She is indeed awakening. Although the Guardian tricked her, with us here, he wouldn't dare to do nothing..." Constantine nodded and explained telepathically, "As for the Shadow Hunter, although they are called mages, they are more like ability users, because their power comes from the Angel Raziel. And Angel possess more than one kind of power, so when their Angel's Blood is passed down, the abilities their descendants inherit will be somewhat different!"

"I see! I wonder if Angel will descend this time. It seems unlikely. But there's been no further movement regarding the Angel's Blood you possess. Could it be that the Angel's Blood was meant for you to go and rescue Clary?" Robet frowned. Although they had quickly traced the mastermind, based on the available information, this mastermind wasn't particularly powerful. Why would the Angel's Blood guide them to Clary?

"I don't know about that. To be honest, if it weren't for a strong ally like you, I wouldn't have kept the Angel's Blood in my possession. After all, this kind of external ability that can't be fully controlled carries the risk of devouring its master!" Constantine shook his head. He didn't know what the Angel's Blood's previous guidance meant either. He could only continue to investigate based on the existing information.

Meanwhile, back at his base, Valentine sensed something was wrong. Several of his underlings were dead, and even the Witch he'd been working with was gone. This instantly put Valentine on high alert. He glanced at Jocelyn, who lay unconscious beside him, his eyes flickering slightly. He wondered if this was a backup plan Jocelyn had left behind, and whether he should leave first...

But at that moment, Valentine received a message from the Guardian!

"I've found the Holy Grail! It's not with Jocelyn, it's in the hands of her daughter, Clary!" the Guardian declared solemnly after contacting Valentine.

"Really?" Valentine stood up instinctively, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, then frowned, his vigilance rising once more.

"It's true! Jocelyn's daughter, Clary, is currently in my Magic Academy. I've put her unconscious, read her memories, and learned the location of the Holy Grail!" The Guardian's excited voice rang in Valentine's ears. Valentine narrowed his eyes and fell silent.

"So, what you mean is?" Valentine asked tentatively after regaining his composure.

"Come here and take Clary away to find the Holy Grail!" The Guardian paused for a moment, then spoke.

"Then why don't you just tell me the address and I'll go look for it directly?" Valentine said with a disdainful smile. "You really can't act at all. It seems you've been locked up in the Magic Academy and gone crazy. You haven't had contact with normal people for years, so you don't know how to lie, do you?"

"..." The Guardian fell silent upon hearing Valentine's words. He couldn't understand; after living for so many years, was his acting really that bad? Was it truly because he hadn't interacted with many people?

With a "bang!", a series of thoughts flashed through the Guardian's mind, but before he could figure them out, Robet pushed the Guardian aside and rushed into the Portal. The Guardian was communicating with Valentine through the Portal, but it seemed that the Guardian couldn't trick Valentine into coming, so Robet decided to go himself.

"I'll leave this old guy to you. I'll deal with that little boss and see if there are any bigger fish behind him!" Robet's words echoed in Constantine's ears as he passed through the Portal. The Guardian's expression changed, but it was too late to do anything.

"What's going on?" Hearing such a commotion, the Shadow Hunter in the Magic Academy finally ran out, including Jess had left earlier. They looked at the Guardian had fallen to the ground, and subconsciously glanced at Constantine, who had emerged from his invisibility due to the disruption of magical power caused by Robet's charge. Their expressions turned hostile.

The next chapter will still be in the morning.
