Jackie Chan and Trevor arrived next to jade, and upon looking into the cargo box, they too showed the same shocked expression as jade.
"It really is the saint!"
Jackie Chan suddenly turned his head to look at Constantine inside the house: "You captured the saint? What about Varon and his crew?"
"They've naturally been captured as well."
Constantine smiled, "A gang of criminals, how could they possibly escape my capture? My visit this time was to completely resolve these troubles, and, to do some things that must be done."
Varon has been arrested?
Jackie Chan eyes widened, somewhat dazed, surprised that his old rival had been so easily dealt with by Constantine.
He suddenly realized the gap between himself and Constantine.
Although the latter had rarely appeared in this matter, he had always firmly controlled the direction and outcome of the events.
He believed that this result hadn't caught the latter by surprise either.
As Jackie Chan pondered, Constantine in front of him turned to Johnny Blaze.
"Johnny, Mephisto plot has been shattered, at least for the near future, you won't be harassed by Mephisto anymore... What are your thoughts now?"
"I..."
Johnny was startled, shaking his head: "I don't know."
He was the one among this group who was least clear about what was happening.
Although on the way to District 13, jade and Old Dad had explained it to him, he was still confused and hadn't really understood, only knowing that Mephisto and another powerful demon had conspired together, and their plot was ultimately thwarted by himself and others.
"Mephisto has really taken a hit this time, and with his own troubles to deal with, he won't have the inclination to bother you anymore."
Constantine said,
"I offer you two choices, if you want to escape your fate, I suggest you go to Africa, find a place away from the crowds, and live out your life quietly. That could free you from the side effects of the Spirit of Vengeance."
He paused, then added, "If you seek revenge, whether it about your family vengeance, your foster father, or Mephisto recent scheming, I can offer you that opportunity."
"...I understand!"
Johnny was startled, then his expression firmed, and he said solemnly, "Whatever you plan to do, I'm in."
"Hmm?"
Old Dad and the others picked up on something unusual in Constantine words.
The antique shop fell into silence.
"What do you want to do?"
However, this silence only lasted for a few seconds.
jade looked around curiously and asked on behalf of the adults, "Mr. John Constantine, why do I feel like you're the leader of some cult?"
"You'll understand soon enough."
Constantine finished speaking.
Beep beep beep!
The sound of police sirens reached everyone ears.
Sheriff Blake, leading the officers from District 13, arrived at the antique shop.
"Hello."
After getting out of the car, Sheriff Blake greeted old friends like Jackie Chan, then his gaze fixed on the conspicuously blond-haired Constantine, saying,
"I am here under orders from my superiors, Mr. John Constantine. We would like to have a word with you."
"No problem, I've been briefed by Anton."
Constantine remained calm, still sitting in the chair that originally belonged to Old Dad, appearing very much like the host, and nodded slightly.
"Please, have a seat."
Seeing this, Old Dad looked at his chair, then at Constantine, and almost repeated his Crane Spread Wings move to thrash Constantine in the chair.
"Old Dad."
Good old Jackie Chan, seeing Old Dad displeasure, stepped forward to stop him.
Constantine, noticing this, blinked.
"Let get straight to the point."
Sheriff Blake said,
"Mr. Constantine, on one hand, we appreciate the effort and help you've provided during this incident.
On the other hand, through you, we want to better understand our opponents and the magical world."
"Regarding the magical world, I can't provide you with much information."
Constantine spread his hands,
"It a very closed world. Various factions of magicians operate independently and rarely interact with other mages.
Including Old Dad and myself, we come from entirely different magical systems, so we had no knowledge of each other before."
After saying this, he added another comment.
"However, if you want to better understand your opponents, I can only say that of the various mythological stories that have been passed down through the ages, about thirty percent of them are real."
"What?"
Sheriff Blake pupils constricted.
Thirty percent of the mythological stories are real?
He instinctively looked towards Old Dad.
"If it were up to me, I'd say that thirty percent should actually be fifty percent."
Old Dad, unusually in agreement with Constantine, shrugged and said, "Of course, there might also be some ancient myths that have been erased by the sands of time."
Sheriff Blake was completely stunned.
Once again, his view of the world was altered.
"So, are all the villains from these mythological stories our enemies?"
He swallowed before asking.
"It not out of the question."
Constantine said, "Of course, issues of the magical realm can only be resolved within the magical realm.
The Earth has been functioning as usual for many years now, which speaks volumes. You must believe that this world is still protected by many."
"Indeed, only magic can defeat magic!"
Old Dad nodded in agreement.
"If you want to have eyes in the magical realm, or say, establish a force to keep an eye on the movements within the magical realm, I have a suggestion."
Constantine said, "Actually, this is the main reason I came to meet you."
"Please, go ahead."
Sheriff Blake heart skipped a beat, a wild idea popping into his mind.
"I want to emulate Batman and create a magical team."
Constantine tone suddenly became serious, his gaze sharp, sweeping over everyone present: "I'll call it the Dark Justice League."
"The Dark Justice League?"
People looked at each other.
"Emulating Batman?"
jade expressed her surprise, "Then why don't you simply join forces with Batman and create the Dark Justice League under Batman name?"
"Because, only magic can defeat magic."
Constantine repeated Old Dad classic mantra, "Batman does not have the ability to combat magic. Matters of the magical realm can only be resolved by those within the magical realm."
"I agree with this statement."
Old Dad nodded.
"I can collaborate with District 13. I'll be responsible for providing intelligence and manpower, and you can assist from the sidelines."
Constantine said, "Think of it like the cooperation between the Justice League and the military."
Pausing for a moment, he observed everyone reactions and continued,
"Of course, the Justice League is our ally, and Wonder Woman possesses magical abilities.
You can consider her as an honorary member of the Dark Justice League."
"This is a matter of great importance I need to report this to my superiors."
Sheriff Blake hesitated for a long while, then stepped away from the group to make a phone call.
After a brief conversation, he returned to Constantine with a complex look.
"The higher-ups have agreed."
After saying this, he added, "However, we have some conditions."
