Chapter 390: The Disgusting Constantine
After Zatanna spoke the man's name, all three adults present simultaneously revealed expressions of disgust. Constantine's infamous reputation was evident in the fact that three individuals with such disparate personalities could share the same expression at the same moment.
Logically speaking, although this Hell Detective is not well-liked, his competence is indeed undeniable. Constantine possesses another ability that is directly proportional to his competence: sabotage.
Constantine is a man who stops at nothing. His rotten life has given him his own set of rules. He has always regarded eliminating demons as his responsibility. If one didn't observe his methods, anyone would think he was a positive figure like Superman, but that's not the case.
To perform exorcisms, he is unscrupulous, even to the point of sacrificing the life of a friend, sacrificing an innocent passerby, and stabbing his partner in the back is commonplace for him.
If the Constantine who had just debuted became famous in the magical realm because of his outstanding magic strength, then the current him is definitely famous for his method of screwing over everyone. Scumbag is the most fitting title for him.
"What's wrong?" Zatanna asked, curious about the three people's unanimous reaction.
"I've told you many times, Zatanna, you should stay away from Constantine." Father Giovanni couldn't help but rub his forehead. "He's not what you see."
"But isn't he a powerful magician?" Zatanna seemed unconcerned. "Although I have indeed heard bad rumors about Constantine, at least the Constantine I’ve seen isn’t that unworthy."
"That's because he wants to get into your pants." Yang Le spoke for Giovanni, who couldn't bring himself to say it. Being in the Asgardian state, he was more straightforward than usual, and liked to speak directly.
"Constantine's life is filled with three things: exorcism, cigarettes, and sexual desire. What do you think you can help him with?"
Yang Le's words were too direct, causing Zatanna's dissatisfaction, so she spoke with an unkind tone.
"I am recommending my friend to Wonder Woman to help her solve problems, and who are you? If you can't help, you might as well 'shut up'."
Zatanna's last sentence used reverse speech magic, just to give Yang Le a small lesson. Don't think that Yang Le in the Asgardian state is big and burly, Zatanna is not afraid; physique is useless in front of a magician.
Unfortunately, she was destined to provoke the wrong person. Not to mention that ordinary magic is ineffective against even demigods, let alone Yang Le, who is a full god; just speaking of reverse speech magic, Yang Le also knows it.
Purple magic energy appeared beside Yang Le's head, that was the magic released by Zatanna, but the energy dissipated before it even touched Yang Le. This level of magic cannot affect a god.
Logically speaking, Yang Le is not actually an orthodox god of the DC Universe. DC Universe magic may be able to bypass God's resistance and affect him, but who made The Presence recognize Yang Le's orthodoxy in the DC Universe.
This means that after Yang Le transformed into Asgardian several times, not only could he obtain power from the War Godhood of the Marvel Universe, but he was also gradually eroding the War Godhood of the DC Universe. Ares, who had already had part of his Godhood divided by Athena, might have a mental breakdown if he knew.
"What?" Zatanna's small mouth opened slightly, looking unexpectedly cute.
The Zatanna of this universe was only 15 years old at this time. Lacking experience, she obviously had not encountered opponents of the God type, so naturally she did not know God's resistance to magic, so she looked surprised when she saw that her magic had no effect.
"Impudent, Zatanna!" Giovanni hurriedly reprimanded, and at the same time stepped forward, seemingly to reprimand his daughter, but in fact to prevent Yang Le from getting angry because of Zatanna's prank and taking action.
Unlike the inexperienced Zatanna, Giovanni's horizons were still very broad. When dealing with the Joker Gang, he could see that the lightning released by Yang Le was definitely not ordinary lightning.
Although Giovanni is a member of the Justice League, he doesn't actually know much about Yang Le, this newly joined member. As a magic user, he rarely actively tries to understand things outside of his business, but based on the lightning just now, Giovanni speculated that Yang Le was at least a demigod like Diana.
"Don't worry, Giovanni." Yang Le waved his hand. "I'm not going to argue with a little girl, especially since I was the one who spoke rudely first."
"Thank you for your understanding." Giovanni sighed. If Yang Le's words could make Zatanna stay away from Constantine, then saying something more offensive wouldn't matter. In Giovanni's opinion, there was no one more terrifying than Constantine.
After a few polite words, Yang Le looked at Wonder Woman aside and asked, "What do you say? Are we going to find Constantine, or think of another method?"
Early on when Yang Le and Zatanna had a small interlude, Wonder Woman had been in a dilemma. In the end, she gritted her teeth and said.
"Let's go find Constantine. If I can get revenge, I can pay any price."
"Then let me be responsible for leading the way." Zatanna nimbly jumped out from behind her father. "I happen to have an appointment with Constantine to meet recently, and I think I'm the only one here who knows where he is."
"Zatanna!" Giovanni only felt his blood rush to his head. "How come I didn't know you were in contact with that addict! Tell me how long you've been going on!"
Zatanna, who had slipped up, immediately felt bad, and hurriedly hid behind Wonder Woman, and gently tugged at the woman's clothes, pleading in a low voice.
"Help me, otherwise I may not be able to take you to find Constantine."
Seeing this, Wonder Woman could only stop Giovanni and said, "Please, Giovanni, let Zatanna take us there. Believe me, I will take good care of her. If Constantine dares to attack her, I will definitely chop off his outstretched hand."
Giovanni thought for a moment, sighed and said, "Alright then, I believe you, Wonder Woman."
"Thank you so much, Giovanni." Wonder Woman said solemnly.
In fact, Giovanni had his own selfishness. He wanted to take advantage of the time Zatanna was leading the two to carefully check her room, wanting to see how Constantine had contacted his precious daughter without him noticing.
Giovanni swore that once he found any magic trace, he would use the most vicious curse he knew to make that pervert suffer.
And so, the people with their own ideas parted ways. Giovanni hurried home to rummage through boxes and cabinets, while Zatanna took Yang Le and Wonder Woman to find her confidant Constantine.
"Are you sure Constantine will come here?" Yang Le looked up at the big signboard, The Dead Rabbit.
