Kevin who was listening to them silently, saw that Liam seemed to disagree completely with them so he motioned to him to be silent and he continued by asking them : "In your opinion, he acted alone or with other demons ?"
Solomon replied immediately : " They must be several ... to come into contact with a human he had to have demons to cover him."
When Alyssa saw that Kevin was staring at her waiting for her opinion she simply said : "I agree with Solomon."
Kevin just nodded and was unfazed, he looked again at Liam and saw him frown but he imperceptibly nodded to let him know that he had to trust him, and then Liam seeing this relaxed immediately.
After having reassured Liam, he turned to Kerry who had remained thoughtful. He smirked in spite of himself, seeing him analyze all the information he had just obtained, and so he didn't rush him, he waited patiently for Kerry to give him his opinion.
When Kerry finally looked at him he said feeling frustrated : "It can't be him, we are looking in the wrong direction, come to think of it there is a whole bunch of little things that didn't fit, but if it's not him then who ..."
Kevin still kept his face straight but he was glad that at least Kerry seemed to understand that they had been played.
Kerry could feel that something wasn't right but he didn't know what, so he explained to Kevin his reasoning, hoping that he might help them : "Derek left us more and more often, going alone, sometimes for a few days.
But we never suspected him because Derek's specialty is spying, and it's a behavior he always had, even if he did it more and more often lately there was nothing weird about it.
Plus, we have been separated from the main rebel group for several years already, and our causalities since then had been reduced considerably.
As the mercenaries, bounty hunters and the King's men are hunting us, our main rebel group liberates the cities from the King's tyranny one by one, and separating us from the main rebel group to lure our ennemies was Derek idea.
He told me that there were too many coincidences, and that every time we wanted to strike, the King's men appeared out of nowhere and our plans always failed.
He said that we probably had a mole among us, and the mole was definitely someone close to us so we split into two groups, and that was the right thing to do because since then we have won a lot of victories.
In fact since we split into two groups we never had this kind of problem again, it's like the mole has suddenly disappeared and I almost forgot about his existence and why we had to spilt into two groups at first.
It's really hard to think that there is a traitor with us though, because all our men is 100% supportive of Solomon and they are all taking big risks to lure the king's men and bounty hunters away from our main base."
Interesting Kevin thought, and Liam seemed very pleased now, so before knowing what he was thinking about all of this, he still wanted to ask them something : "Who knows where your main base is ?"
Kerry promptly replied : "Only Solomon knows about it, no one else knows, not even me or Alyssa."
So that's why she wanted to question Solomon thought Kevin, the traitor was among them right now and they couldn't even see it.
He was curious what Liam had to say, after all he had let himself be fool like the others by this girl.
There were a few things about her that had bothered him right away, maybe a feeling, her carefree attitude and at the same time the fact that she had never let her guard down, and she had a glint in her eyes ...
Kevin had been an assassin for too long to don't be able to see it, she held them in the palm of her hand and she enjoyed playing them a lot.
So to confirm his doubts the best way was still to use his perception skill on her.
Once his skill activated, her Stats appeared above her.

Holy shit, Kevin thought, he should have started there, Alyssa was a fucking super-trained assassin, with this kind of Stats she was going to be hard to deal with.
To give himself time to put a strategy in place he turned to Liam, he was curious to know what he thought about all this, after all he had looked rather annoyed when they had doubted this Derek so he asked him : "And you Liam, what do you think about this ? Tell me more about this Derek."
Liam shook his head helplessly and looking at Solomon, Kerry and Alyssa he said to them : "It can't be Derek, you will never make me believe that."
He looked at Kevin and told him what was on his mind : "Derek was their uncle's lover and he was crazy about him, before the first alliance was formed I fought against him on several occasions and believe me, he was stronger, faster and smarter than their uncle.
But Derek wasn't interested in being a leader, all he wanted to do was to protect all 3 of them, then all 4 after their uncle rescued Alyssa and decided to adopt her.
Plus Derek was the sole heir to a powerful demons family and he gave everything he had to their uncle to support him in his choice without even hesitating for a second, money didn't matter to him.
Look, I've known him for a long time and it's true that his behavior was not the same when I spent the 8 months with them, but for me it was just because he was worried about them."
Kevin raised his hand to interrupt him and he said to reassure him : "I understand, I guess we will learn more about the traitor with this file ... Do you have a communication stone for me I would like to talk to my man, I have to ask him something, and if you had one for Alan it would be great too."
