He moved away from her in disgust and also in fear of killing her on the spot if she ever opened her mouth and then he heard Kevin's voice as he put a hand on his shoulder : "She won't say anything, unless you have special means to interrogate her you won't get anything out of her.

But we have to keep her alive, even you must have realized how precious her life must be, we could use her as a bargaining chip if something goes wrong."

Alyssa then asked him : "How did you know ? How in less than an hour you managed to unmask me when they hadn't suspected anything for 20 years."

Kevin replied his face impassible : "It was your arrogance and the pleasure you had in playing them that gave you away ... Just an imperceptible glint in your eye completely undetectable to most people but not for me.

I have to say that even I was impressed with the way you used the facts to your advantage, but it's over now, I have already sent Kerry, Alan and others to rescue Alice, your mission is a failure."

.......

Meanwhile in the demons territory, in a shop's basement in Dunkur City, the atmosphere was a bit tense.

Kerry had decided to open the teleportation portal directly in the meeting room of the basement of Alice's shop and thanks to the communication stone she was already waiting for them there.

Fortunately, she hadn't waited for Kerry to warn her, as the king's men by that time had already arrived in Dunkur city, and when she saw them she wasted no time and had taken refuge in the basement which was protected by the wall created by her illusion stone.

Kerry had warned her while Alan had explained to Axel and Erik what had happened, the urgency of the situation meant that Alan hadn't had time to go into too much detail and nobody had asked any questions, everyone had understood that they had to act very quickly.

No one had known either that Axel had contacted Kevin, he understood the importance of this mission but Kevin was more important to him and he was at this very moment with this super trained assassin.

It was only after Kevin reassured him that he decided to finally focus on their rescue mission.

When they arrived in the basement, Alice was already storing everything in magic bags, and when she saw Kerry she instinctively went into his arms and he whispered in her ear : "Good thing that you have nothing, I would have never forgiven myself if something had happened to you."

Alice stepped away from him and greeted and warmly thanked these men who had not hesitated for a moment to come into enemy territory to help her.

She said to Kerry simply : "Don't worry for me, we all know the risks of joining the rebellion and we have enough spies undercover everywhere to be sure that we can safeguard the black market."

Kerry looked at her troubled and asked her : "What do you mean by safeguarding the black market ? What about you ?"

Alice patted him on the cheek and said : "No wonder Solomon is leading the rebellion ... Look, my life doesn't matter at all, I can be replaced quickly without impacting the operation of the black market, but the black market cannot be compromised, ever you hear me.

There are too many lives depending on us, entire families that we have hidden, as well as our undercover spies that would be unmasked immediately, it would be a real massacre.

We know enough people and whether it's our spies, mercenaries or bounty hunters, if I was taken prisoner and there was no way to free me then they would have found a way to kill me."

Kerry paled as he heard this, Alice had always been a troublemaker but she was a passionate person who fought for the cause she believed in, only he didn't realize that she was willing to die to save the black market.

Axel then said : "Don't worry we'll make sure that never happens, are they already in your shop ?"

She said to him honestly : "No idea, they started arriving about 30 minutes ago, I knew right away that they were coming for me since I had just met Kerry, so I didn't wait for them to find me and I took refuge here directly.

It doesn't really matter what's in the shop, everything important is in here, let me finish putting everything in magic bags, I won't be long."

As they all watched her putting away everything that was in the basement, Axel said to the others : "Honestly guys aren't you itching to go and fight some demons, we'll only kill the ones who enter the shop ... Alice do you have a way to recognize the ones that works for you."

Alice didn't even look at him too busy putting her things away and she simply said : "It's the same as yours."historical

The same as ours ... Axel looked at Alan who showed him his right wrist and that's when Kerry said to them : "Why don't you have your black bandage on yet ?"

Alan chuckled and then said to him : "It's a long story, do you have any for us, if there are demons fighting for the rebellion at least they will know who they are dealing with."

Kerry nodded and motioned for them to come forward to him : "Do me the honor, okay."

Axel and Alan held out their wrists and when Alan saw Erik's wrist added to theirs he looked at him with a complicated expression on his face but said nothing.

He couldn't lock Erik in their pavilion for the rest of his life, so he was going to have to come to terms with the fact that his man had the right to fight for the people he wanted to protect.

All he could do now was protect him and help him grow stronger.

He said to Axel as Kerry solemnly put the bandage around their right wrist so that it was hidden by their sweater but visible when they made certain movements, that was how they could recognize each other while fighting : "Axel, can you buy several Healing potions of legendary grade, just in case, I gave the ones I had left to Liam."

Axel nodded and directly bought 10 Healing potions legendary grade which appeared inside a magic bag in his hand, he handed it to Alan and said to him : "Don't hesitate to ask if you need more."

Alan nodded and Axel then asked Kerry : "Do you want to come with us or are you staying with Alice ?"
