My Mage System (BL)

Solomon glanced at Liam and smiled feeling grateful to have such a friend : « Luckily for us, Liam managed to find me and when Kerry searched the warehouse where they had kept me, he found the evidence that there was one or more traitors among my men."

Solomon took his brother\'s magic bag and he took out the sheet of paper that Kerry had found and the file that Alice had given to them and that he hadn\'t had time to study yet.

He said to Kevin showing him the sheet of paper first : "As you can see, the one who provided this information is someone very close to us."

Kevin motioned for Alan to come and read it with him and when they both got to the part that said Solomon had feelings for the Queen and that they should use it against him, Kevin glanced at Alan who clearly had an expression on his face that said \'What the fuck\'.

So when Kevin handed the sheet of paper back to Solomon, he discreetly nudged Alan in the ribs, giving him a warning look, whether or not Solomon had feelings for the Queen was none of their business.

Solomon took back the sheet of paper and said to them : "When Kerry showed it to me I immediately thought of one person but this time I don\'t want to rush things, maybe there are several traitors and I want to trap them all."

Kevin nodded, he agreed with Solomon, they had to catch them all at once.

He finally asked him out of curiosity : "What about this file ?"

Solomon handed it to him and said : "Liam and Kerry have managed to put us in touch with the black market."

Solomon looked at Liam and Liam immediately understood what he wanted him to do, so he nodded and continued to explain to Kevin and Alan what the black market was : "The black market is an organization similar to Tony and Caleb\'s distribution and intelligence network, thanks to the money that you gave to them they will be able to develop considerably, it\'s a really good thing."

When he saw that Kevin seemed satisfied with this information he then said to him : "This file is all the information they were able to gather on what happened 17 years ago, maybe with your expertise and the one of Kerry we will finally be able to find out who is pulling the strings in the shadows."

Kevin couldn\'t believe it, in less than a day Liam had succeeded in finding and rescuing Solomon, he had helped them to find evidence that there was indeed a traitor that was close to them, and he had succeeded in putting them in contact with an organization which would be of indispensable help in order to dethrone their current King.

He said to him really impressed : "Well done … you are the most efficient man I have ever worked with."

Liam smiled and said : "I just followed your advice and took an opportunity, that\'s all."

Kerry who had just finished his communication then said looking at Liam then at Kevin : "You are too modest Liam.

And Kevin, tell me, who are you exactly ? How did you know there was something wrong with Ian\'s body when Liam never suspected ..."

But before Kerry could continue with all the questions he wanted to ask him, Solomon cut him off saying : "Enough, he is on our side and Liam trusts him so no more questions, understood ?"

Kerry massaged his neck feeling frustrated and he said awkwardly : "I\'m sorry Kevin, I got carried away, forget that okay."

Kevin thought that Kerry was rather interesting and Solomon as Liam had told him was a real leader, but he didn\'t feel like revealing his true identity to them, not yet at least, so he told them instead : "I\'m going to need some time to study all of this, and as Liam said, two expertises are better than one so Kerry should stay with me to study it as well."

Kerry said to him shaking his head : "It\'s going to be complicated, we have to get back to the demons territory as quickly as possible if we want to be able to trap the traitors."

Alyssa for the first time stepped in and then said : "He is right, we have to go back and trap these traitors and I think someone from the organization should come with us too."

Solomon looked at her puzzled and asked her : "Why should anyone from the organization come with us, this is a demon problem so it\'s up to us to deal with it."

Alyssa shook her head and said : "No, you\'re wrong, it\'s not just a demon problem, the one who tried to trap you is in cahoots with humans.

This anti-odor potion cannot come from demons, the ingredients to make it cannot be found in our territory and it\'s strictly forbidden to sell potions that come from the humans territory.

Even the black market don\'t have any, this potion could only have been supplied directly by a human."

Kevin then said his thoughts out loud so that everyone would be able to participate : "Based on your respective testimonies and on the sheet of paper that you found in that warehouse, it\'s likely that these traitors wanted Solomon dead but not before to interrogate him.

They must be looking for something specific and maybe you already have an idea of ​​what it could be.

As for who could be the traitor on your side it\'s easy enough to guess, there are only 2 things that cause people to betray those they are meant to protect, greed and power.

The one who betrayed you is probably the one who will be able to take the leadership position of the rebellion once Solomon is dead."

Kerry couldn\'t help but exclaim : "That fucking bastard, I really considered him a member of our family, how could he do that to us."

Solomon\'s expression darkened too when he replied : "For greed and power, once I was eliminated, the majority of our men would have put their trust in him."

He looked at Kerry helplessly : "Even if you are a genius and that you would make undoubtedly a better leader than him, the fact that you have always stayed in the shadows and played the fool so no one could suspect you of being the real mastermind of our operations, no one would have believed that all our victories were due to your strategies.

It would have been easy for him to discredit you because unlike you, he has always stood by our uncle\'s side and afterwards with me, our men are used to seeing him and would have trusted him … Damn ! I still can\'t believe it."
