Chapter 114: A Bodyguard And An Assassin

When Ian finally woke up the next morning, Liam was already gone, he knew he must have left early as the expeditions always left at 6.30am, and when he looked at the time he saw that he had to hurry if he didn't want to be late for his class.

Liam had promised to come back tonight to see how he was doing and it was time for him to make a decision, and give him a clear answer, he had kept him waiting long enough.

.....

In another pavilion, Axel and Kevin woke up early too, Kevin had taken the remedy Ashton gave him yesterday and he was feeling much better this morning.

When they had breakfast with Alan and Erik, they offered to them to accompany them to Down city, but Alan seeing that they seemed to be doing better told them that they would go to see Erik's grandmother today instead, they rarely had day off so they would take this opportunity to check how she was doing.

He told them that they would come back this afternoon to see how they were doing and if everything was alright they would go back to their pavilion tonight.

So when they left, each couple went their separate ways.

After two hour of travel Axel and Kevin landed in Down city and they went straight to Tony's shop.

It was Ellis who was there and when he saw them arrive he told them to be patient and that he would go get Tony right away for them.

When Tony arrived he greeted them warmly as usual and asked them the same question : "So guys, are you here to buy or to sell ?"

It was Kevin who replied, Axel knew that whatever was going to happen, he had to keep a straight face, and avoid showing his emotions : "Neither one nor the other, I'm coming to use the offer you made to me, I need your network."

He glanced at Ellis and when he looked at Tony again he said with a knowing smile on his face : "Can we talk here or do we have to go to a quieter place ?"

Tony and Ellis' faces changed dramatically, Ellis spoke first looking at Tony : "The shop is empty."

Tony then said to him : "Take the opportunity to close it then, I don't want us to be disturbed."

Ellis walked over to the door and turned the sign that hung above the door indicating that the shop was now closed.

He locked the door and came back to Tony saying : "It's done, what do you want to do now ?"

Tony looked at Kevin and said : "It will depend on what Kevin needs."

Kevin smirked, he knew that Tony couldn't be involved in such a network without a bodyguard, he looked at Ellis and asked him in a disapprovingly tone : "Where were you when Tony needed you last time, he could have been hurt."

Ellis frowned and clenched his fists, but he said nothing, he knew he was at fault, it was Tony who answered Kevin's question instead of him : "It was I who told him to go and rest, he had been on call at night, he needed to rest and Axel was there anyway, I really didn't think that something would happen in such a short time."

Ellis shook his head and said : "It's Kevin who's right, I should have waited for the one who was supposed to replace me."

Ellis looked curiously at Kevin, that smirk on his face and the aura that radiated from him made him think of his uncle, he asked him : "Who the fuck are you ?"

Tony wasn't too happy with Ellis's behavior but Kevin raised his hand to tell him it was okay and he simply replied : "I think you already know that, right ?"

He then looked at him carefully and use his perception skill on him.

After seeing his Stats his smile widened and he said honestly to him : "You are good, I really thought that you were only a brat who were after my man, but you aren't only a bodyguard, you are also an assassin ... I'm very impressed."

His Stats added with this kind of weapons and their numbers could only meant that he was an assassin, and a good one at that.

While Ellis was still shocked by his words, he returned his attention to Tony and asked him again : "Can we talk freely here ?"

Ellis was really shocked, he didn't know who was that guy but he was a professional, he had really wondered why Axel had fallen in love with a young mage who seemed rather weak, but now he had finally understood.

This boy in front of him wasn't weak at all, with just one sentence from Tony he had understood what Tony could offer him as a favor, and with just a look he had guessed that he was his bodyguard.

He had no idea how he had guessed that he was also an assassin, but one thing was sure, Kevin was dangerous.

Tony had tried to warn him though, he had told him that there was something special about him, and that it was better to have him and Axel as friends rather than enemies.

He looked at Tony sideways and he couldn't help admiring him, this man really had a strong instinct to judge people, he was never wrong.

It was probably because of this that his uncle never left him without someone to protect him, it would be hard to find an other person like him if anything happened to him.

He focused his attention on Kevin again when he saw that Tony had just nodded, and Kevin then threw the bomb of the century at them : "I want to free the Queen and her sister during the annual capital's tournament.

I need all the information you can give me and I need them at least 10 days before the beginning of the tournament."

He pulled out a sheet of paper where he had written all the information he wanted, he had prepared it beforehand during their trip on the giant bird.

Axel had chosen to rent a small one with a capacity of only 4 people, and he had paid for the 4 spots so that they wouldn't be disturbed.

And since they were alone, he took the opportunity to teach a few things to Axel.

He had thought that it might be of use to him, and Axel had been in a very studious mood and he had bombarded him with questions each time he didn't get the usefulness of the information he wanted.

He handed the sheet of paper to Ellis who took it, and he saw him opened his eyes wide when he read the information that he wanted.

When Ellis read it, he had no more doubt, Kevin was indeed a professional and a damn good one at that, he asked him : "You really plan doing this alone ?"

Kevin's smirk reappeared on his face and he said : "I'm never alone, not anymore, but I won't get you and your organization involved in the rescue plan, I just need as much information as you can provide to me."

Ellis nodded, but after only a few seconds, he finally couldn't hold back anymore and he asked him suddenly : "Why though ? If you really are who you say you are, you are breaking the rules by doing this."

Kevin smiled widened and he said : "It's not for a political reason, it's personal, I owe her a life, sort of, and I don't like to be in debt."

Tony turned to Ellis and said : "Go get your uncle, we need to talk, maybe this is the opportunity we have all been waiting for."

Ellis nodded and before leaving he looked Kevin in the eye and said : "He is under your protection, I need an hour."

Kevin nodded and replied : "Don't worry, you have my word that nothing will happen to him."

Ellis left immediately, with Axel and Kevin, Tony was in good hands he wasn't worry at all, and he was really wondering how his uncle would react when he would hear about it.

He had been protecting the Queen, hidden in the shadows for the last 17 years, and until the bearer of the Pentagram Mark appeared it would remain his top priority.

Ellis couldn't help but hope, Kevin looked so sure of himself that he would succeed, he hadn't seen any doubt in his eyes.

He seemed very confident in his abilities, one could say that he was just being arrogant, but after what just happened in Tony's shop, it had felt as if he was in front of his uncle.
