每个人都有第一次

Liam smiled, he liked her, she was a passionate, but he still needed to know something, so he asked her, cutting them off : "Do you also sell information, does your network extend to espionage ?"

Alice looked at him and said warily : "If you want me to answer you, you have to prove to me that you are worthy of my trust."

Kerry wanted to protest but Liam put a hand on his shoulder to soothe him and he showed his black bandage to Alice, but he didn\'t stop there, he removed his bandage to show her that he was part of the organization and he also took off his hood.

When Alice saw the tattoo and the snow-white hair of the man who was with Kerry, she stammered still struggling to believe that Kerry\'s friend was someone so important : "You are … are you really the legendary white wolf ? The one who always protects the rebels on the battlefield and kills the demons loyal to the king."

Alice was so excited that she couldn\'t stop talking, damn, she never thought that she would be able to meet him someday, it was completely insane : "You were already fighting for the alliance when I was just a kid, and thanks to you, to the organization and to the Queen the losses for the rebels were minimal, we all owe you a lot."

Liam smiled at her and nodded, finally introducing himself : "I\'m Liam, second only to the Queen in the organization, and I also represent the new bearer of the Pentagram Mark, nice to meet you Alice, I\'m sure you are going to be of great help to us."

He suddenly saw her eyes widen in astonishment and she said still shocked by the news : "Hold on, hold on ! What did you just say ? Have you finally found him ..."

She looked at Kerry then Liam and she asked them : "The fact that you are with us here, does that mean that your rightful king is on our side, well I mean that he is okay with forming an alliance with the demons ?"

Liam nodded and motioned for Kerry to show her the bloodstones he had given to him, and that he had transferred to a magic bag on purpose so it would be easier to make the transaction.

When Alice took the magic bag, she was really curious to know what could be inside.

And when she opened it, she saw all the bloodstones and she was speechless.

These bloodstones were worth a fortune and with just a glance she could tell that they were all of high grade quality, holy shit, she thought, everyone was going to fight to get them.

Liam then explained to her that it was a gift from the bearer of the Pentagram Mark and he also explained what he expected from them in return.

Alice reassured them by assuring that the black market network was secure and sufficiently developed to be able to resell these bloodstones and do what the bearer of the Pentagram Mark expected from them.

With the money they were going to receive from the sales, they would be able to expand their network all over the demons territory and set up hideouts for the rebels everywhere.

And when he asked her again the question she had forgotten to answer, she told him that obviously their network could also be used for espionage and that they even already had spies implanted directly in the palace where the king was.

Some mercenaries and bounty hunters also worked with them … Liam was relieved, he felt like he had accomplished the mission Kevin had given to him, this girl and the black market would undoubtedly be what Tony and Caleb were for the organization.

Now it was up to them to take care of the rest, he would still wait until Solomon woke up to make sure he was okay, and he could go home to join his man with peace of mind.

What a fucking coincidence, he thought, by pure chance he had just helped the rebel group led by Solomon and the black market group fighting against the tyranny of their king to meet, and thanks to Kevin they will have enough resources to develop and consolidate together.

It couldn\'t have been better than this. And before they left, he didn\'t forget to ask her to sell him all the communication stones she had, whether they were for long or short distance, he wanted them all.

And he had been really satisfied, he had been able to buy 100 communication stones for short distances and 10 for long distances, and the price was quite reasonable, the one for small distances cost 10 diamonds while the one for long distances cost 100 diamonds.

Alice had been impressed when she saw him pay her in diamonds but she hadn\'t said anything about it and she had just told him that she would make sure to have more communication stones for him the next time they would see each other.

As for Kerry, after they agreed on a price for the bloodstones, he had told her that he would let her know when Solomon would wake up and that he wouldn\'t make any other decisions without his brother.

And as proof of what the black market would be able to provide them, she had handed him a file and told him that it was all the information they have been able to gather about what had happened 17 ago years.

When she had given to him this file, she had thought that maybe Kerry would be able to find what had escaped to them, because to her, Kerry was the most brilliant demon she knew.

And Kerry had thanked her sincerely for her trust, promising her that he would do anything to find out who was behind it, because there was no way this tragedy would repeate with his brother.

After that, they had left Alice\'s shop, and this somewhat unexpected alliance and thanks to the money Kevin had provided to them, Kerry knew that soon they would finally have enough power to be able to turn things around for the better and maybe that they would finally be able to get rid of their king and his tyranny.

Things were going to change for good, and so he was in a very good mood when they got home.

Liam had assured him that they hadn\'t been followed and that he hadn\'t felt anything suspicious so they went straight to see how Solomon was doing.

And much to Kerry\'s relief, Solomon while they were outside had woken up and he seemed to be doing perfectly fine.
