Chapter 1230 Searching for Constantine Again
Saving Roy is already on the agenda, but the Justice League needs to do one more thing before that.

That is to find out where the real Roy is.

Because the matter of the Illuminati was of great importance, even Damian was unable to get any more information from Rashomon.

In addition, when he was in the Assassin's Guild, he focused most of his energy on improving his own strength. He didn't care much about the affairs of the Illuminati or even the affairs of the Assassin's Guild itself.

However, perhaps because Lei Xiaogu intended to cultivate Damian, the former would sometimes take the latter along to participate in some work related to the Assassin's Guild.

The Illuminati is one of them, otherwise Rashomon wouldn't have brought Damian to see Luther.

Damian has a good memory, so even if he doesn't try to remember things, they will remain in his mind and he can recall them when needed.

For example, news related to Roy.

In fact, this hidden thread within the Justice League is frequently brought up by the Illuminati because they need to constantly check on the status of Clones.

To determine whether he will suffer a physical or mental breakdown like the previous failed clones.

Or perhaps Roy has actually entered the Justice League as planned, and because he doesn't want to arouse suspicion, they can't monitor the clone's status in real time.

The Illuminati could only use a crude method: periodically sending athletes or Deathstroke to find clones and bring back intelligence to them.

This method is neither efficient nor safe, but fortunately they can use crime fighting to cover it up.

"In other words, those side jobs I took on back then..."

“That’s right. I suspect that more than half of it was arranged by the Illuminati.” Damian nodded to the uneasy-looking Cloneroy. “The purpose is to periodically check on your condition and gather intelligence.”

"What you think your mission is may just be to arrive at the designated location, report the information, and then sit there for a sufficient amount of time before leaving."

Cloning Roy's face turned ashen, but he didn't say much. No one could possibly like the feeling of being manipulated like this.

"At least you've gotten rid of them now," Yang Le said, trying to comfort Roy, though he wasn't sure if that would make Roy feel any better.

"Go on, Damian."

Damian nodded, showing no stage fright even when facing a group of Justice League superheroes, and continued to speak eloquently.

"Because it has been mentioned so many times, even I know quite a bit about clones. I currently know that the Illuminati actually has three cloning laboratories."

"The first one was the Cadmus Institute, but you destroyed it not long ago."

"The second and third are in Tibet and the Indian Mountains, respectively. I will mark the specific coordinates later."

"Of course, I know that may not be all of them, so I advise you to think it over carefully before taking any action."

After Damian finished speaking, he sat back down in his seat. He had revealed all the information he knew; the rest was up to the Justice League to decide. Those present were indeed facing a dilemma. This wasn't just a matter of choosing one or the other; it also involved the possibility that both options might be wrong.

Damian's information should be true, but the key question is, does the Illuminati really only have these three cloning labs?
Even if they split their forces to attack both labs simultaneously, what if the real Roy isn't in either of those labs?
That would alert them, and the Illuminati might hide the real Roy, making it incredibly difficult to find him later.

At this point, deep thought would obviously not yield any answers, so Batman acted decisively and decided to try the power of magic.

He immediately summoned Mr. Zatara and his daughter Zatanna, wanting to try the method of magical divination.

Zatara and his daughter didn't hesitate and immediately used location magic, but the result surprised everyone.

“No.” Zatanna shook her head. “No matter how we locate it, it can only be located on Roy over here.”

Zatara was the same; he might have more experience in the path of magic than Zatana, but the result would be about the same no matter who used this simple spell.

"Logically speaking, the results of magical positioning should not be affected by things like clones, since even clones are different from each other in terms of their souls."

Zatara stroked his beard, thought for a moment, and said, "It seems that someone has cast a spell to interfere, and this person is more advanced in the field of magic than the two of us."

The implication is that neither of them is a match for the person who cast the interference magic, and there's basically no way to break through head-on; they can only think of other methods.

Knowing that this matter was of utmost importance, Zatara hesitated for a moment, but still brought up the name he didn't want to say.

"Perhaps we could try going to Constantine; he always has a knack for these crooked ways."

Because of Zatanna, Zatara, who already looked down on Constantine, now didn't even want to mention him, but Roy's matter really couldn't be delayed any longer.

After all, the Illuminati had already abandoned the clone Roy, and once the matter of the clone spy was exposed, it would prove that Roy himself was no longer of any use.

As a result, no one knows whether the Illuminati will simply dispose of the real Roy as trash, which is why they can't delay.

This shows Zatala's magnanimity; he doesn't mind compromising himself for the sake of important matters.

Zatanna felt a little embarrassed when she heard Constantine's name. After joining the Young Justice League, Robin somehow heard that she had feelings for Constantine.

Robin didn't waste any words. Instead, he presented Zatanna with a whole bunch of dirt on Constantine, and each piece of dirt was accompanied by solid evidence.

Facts speak louder than words. Even if Zatanna is love-struck, she can't maintain her romantic feelings for Constantine in the face of so many facts. Besides, she's not stupid; she was just fooled by sweet talk.

After losing interest in Constantine, Zatanna never mentioned him again; it was her dark history, the kind of thing that would make her shudder.

However, the current situation cannot be delayed. Although Constantine himself is unreliable, his ability to get things done is undeniable.

“I’ll go find him,” Green Arrow volunteered. “I’ll do everything I can to bring Constantine here.”
