Chapter 117: A piece of cake

Kevin nodded, he was well aware that the information he wanted would be difficult to gather, and to be tested by the leader of this organization was something he had expected.

But Axel didn't care about this, all he cared about was him so he immediately intervened : "You can't fight today babe, it is too risky for you."

Kevin chuckled and said while caressing his cheek in a tender way : "Assassins don't fight to test each other honey, we do it differently, and I can guarantee you that it won't tire me out."

A smirk appeared on Caleb's face, this boy wasn't scared at all, it was as if he was sure he would pass his test, and he had just admitted that he was indeed an assassin.

But on the other hand, what he didn't understand was that an assassin could have acted on his territory without being able to realize it.

For him it was totally impossible, Kevin had to be an impostor and he was going to prove it.

He then said to him : "My men are all getting ready, let's go outside."

As Ellis, Caleb and Tony walked in front of them Axel whispered in his ear : "I would like that our telepathic link works right now ... Babe, explains to me what is going to happen next."

Kevin put his arm around his waist and kissed his cheek before whispering to answer him : "Don't worry honey, the goal of an assassin is to be able to blend in with any environment, he must be able to go unnoticed to accomplish his missions and leave without being detected.

I'm probably going to have to get something back without him and his men noticing me.

It's going to be a piece of cake ... If you want to follow me focus on my scent and don't use your eyes you won't be able to spot me.

As for our telepathic link, the System said it would become more and more powerful, it's only a matter of time before we can use it at will, be patient honey."

Axel nodded and kissed his neck : "Don't overdo it okay."

Kevin winked at him and they followed Tony and the others to the roof terrace of Tony's apartment which was above his shop, and from where the whole shopping street could be seen.

Kevin let Axel and came to stand next to Caleb, this one wasted no time and asked him : "How many of my men are you able to spot."

No kidding, thought Kevin, this Caleb really took him for an amateur, he quickly observed the street and frowned unhappy : "Next time, if you want to test me, avoid insulting me by using amateurs, I hope these 4 men and this woman are still in training because they are clearly not ready to go on mission."

Kevin decided not to waste any more time and he said to him where his men and woman were and he gave him their descriptions to avoid more stupid questions.

He looked Caleb in the eye and said : "Let's get down to business, I have other things planned for today, don't waste my time."

Caleb was really surprised, even though his men were indeed still in training, no one should have been able to spot them so quickly.

Kevin had looked down the street once, just once, and he had found them right away, what would happen next would certainly be interesting.

Caleb gave a special whistle, that must have been a signal, because just after hearing it, the four men and the woman in the street each positioned a black ribbon in five different places, and after that, they all joined them on Tony's roof terrace.

Caleb looked at Kevin and said : "I guess you already know what I want you to do."

Kevin put his hood over his head without even glancing at Caleb and he said to Axel : "Remember what I told you honey."

Axel nodded and came to kiss his forehead before letting him go, Kevin walked over to the edge of the terrace and stepped over it without stopping to mingle directly with the crowd.

As soon as he landed on the street he disappeared and Axel smile widened when he heard the shocked exclamations of the other assassins.

Even Ellis asked his uncle : "Can you follow him ?"

Caleb shook his head and said : "I have no idea where he is."

He added, because he couldn't shake the feeling he had just had : "Did you see the smile he had just before he jumped off the roof to mingle with the crowd, it gave me goosebumps, this boy is really creepy."

While others were wondering where this boy was, Axel was jubilant in front of their disconcerted faces.

Without taking his eyes off the street because Kevin had asked him to follow him thanks to his scent, and he wouldn't have told him that without a good reason, he told them : "If my man doesn't want you to see him then you will never be able to find him."

Caleb continued to observe the street, Axel looked so confident, but no matter how good this boy was, he would find him.

He had decided to focus on one of the black ribbons. This one was positioned in such a way that he would have to show himself to be able to take it.

And, once he would have spotted him, he could hunt him down through the crowd again. Easy, he thought.

Only, his plan was doomed to fail because what he had planned to do, Kevin had already anticipated it long ago, and he was eager to teach them a lesson, he wasn't call the King of Shadows for nothing.

Axel who had been following Kevin's scent knew he had already collected 4 of the black ribbons.

The only one left was the one exposed for all to see, and he really had no idea how Kevin was going to be able to retrieve it without being seen.

A diversion wouldn't work, because since they couldn't find him, they were all focused on that last ribbon.

It was then that they were all dazzled by the sunlight and while they were still wondering what could have happened, they looked down to the street again and they saw that the last black ribbon was gone.

Caleb frowned and that's when he saw it … He hadn't seen Kevin but when he saw what Axel was holding in his hand there was no doubt that it was his work.

Axel was holding in his hand a mirror which he had grabbed out of pure reflex.

Axel chuckled when he saw what he was holding in his hand, and he couldn't help to feel proud of his man.
