During this time, Tony had chosen to bring Axel and Kevin to the basement whose the entrance was really well hidden, only a few people had access to it, and once in the meeting room, Kevin didn't hide his amazement.
He hadn't expected this, and on every door he had seen, there was the pentagram mark on it.
Axel must have noticed it too because he had put a protective arm around his shoulders, and he had closed the distance between their body.
He said to Tony with a smile as he put his arm around Axel's waist to reassure him : "Impressive ... It's really impressive, I wouldn't have guessed that your shop was a hideout for the organization.
They have everything they need here, an armory, an interrogation room, a room that if you follow the standards of a perfect organization must be either to test new weapons or for special training, and finally the meeting room with all its treasures of information."
Tony wasn't saying anything but he didn't sound scared, and that wasn't Kevin's point anyway, so he said : "Why did you bring us here, you took a big risk showing us all this."
Tony finally smiled and answered him honestly : "I trust Axel, he is the most upright and honest man I know, so as he has chosen you I will trust you as well."
Axel nodded to thank him for his trust, but he still didn't say anything, he felt a little lost right now, all he had ever thought to know about Tony was a lie.
It was very confusing to him, while Kevin seemed like a fish in water, he clearly belonged to that kind of place.
Kevin then asked Tony something neither he nor Axel had expected : "Are you looking for the bearer of the Pentagram Mark ?"
Tony and Axel both thought the same thing same if it was for different reasons, 'What the fuck !'
Axel tightened his embrace around Kevin, and he was wondering why was he asking this question ? Was he trying to test Tony ? Axel had kept a straight face but his body was selling him out.
He was nervous as he really had no idea if he could trust Tony now.
And, as for Tony, he was in the middle of a dilemma.
He was willing to help Kevin get all the information he wanted to free the Queen, but finding and protecting at all cost the bearer of the Pentagram Mark was the sacred mission of their organization, could he really talk about it with them.
Tony chose to follow his instinct, having Axel and Kevin by their side could only strengthen their organization.
He said to them : "I have no idea what do you know about the bearer of the Pentagram Mark, but yes, we are actively looking for him, he must be of your generation and he can only be a mage, so we are researching and investigating all suspected cases involving mages."
Axel then asked him, he needed to know if Kevin was in danger : "If you find him, what are you going to do with him."
Tony looked at him startled, did Axel really believe he would harm their rightful king, he simply replied : "We will protect him, it is to support the rightful king that this organization was created."
Kevin didn't know yet if this organization had been created before or after the death of the former bearer of the Pentagram Mark, but he would keep this question for the real leader of this organization.
Anyway, his goal had been achieved, Axel was finally relaxed.
He had asked Tony this question for the sole purpose of showing to Axel that Tony wasn't an enemy and that he could continue to trust him.
Now that Axel wasn't nervous anymore, he could see that Tony was feeling uncomfortable to talk about the bearer of the Pentagram Mark, so he abruptly changed the topic : "How do you want to be paid ?"
Tony gave a small sigh of relief that didn't escape Kevin and he ended up answering him honestly : "If you are really able to free the Queen, I would be surprised if he asked you for a payment ... But don't worry though, even if he asks you for a payment, you will have more than enough to pay him."
Kevin nodded, Ellis's uncle seemed to be the head of this organization, it promised to be an interesting meeting.
Tony could see that Kevin seemed perfectly at ease here and didn't feel the slightest pressure.
In fact, it was probably the other way around, sometimes there was that glimmer of excitement in his eyes that he couldn't hide or he just didn't want to hide it.
On the other hand, Axel had been stretched like a bow, until he said that this organization would protect the bearer of the Pentagram Mark.
Now, he seemed more relax, it must have been a shock for him to learn all of that.
He then thought to something, Axel always liked to train while waiting for his estimate so he proposed to them : "Kevin, you were right about the last room, it is indeed a room to undergo special training, it was created by mages who mastered the earth element.
It is a room where gravity is important, as long as the door remains open it is a totally banal room, but when you close the door, the particles of the earth element inside transform this room into a gravity one.
And the force of gravity in this room is so dense that it usually takes several sessions to get used to it.
Training inside such a room allows you to increase your speed and strength, as well as your endurance ... Do you want to try it before Ellis and his uncle arrive."
Kevin was looking curiously in the direction of this room, damn that sounded so cool, he thought.
But Axel took his chin and said to him while looking at him in the eye : "Not even in your dreams babe, you just recovered and I'm not even sure you will manage to stay awake all day long."
Kevin was disappointed but Axel was right, he didn't know if the effects of the remedy Ashton had given to him were permanent or if he would still feel tired after a few hours.
But that offer was way too tempting so he said to him with a smile that he hoped would help him to get what he wanted : "Not today honey, but maybe another time, don't you want to try it too ?"
