However, the other party thought he took their words to heart and continued.
“If you ask me, your captain must not trust you, which is why he followed you secretly,”
“Otherwise, how could he possibly know your exact location, even though this time he saved you, I think he harbors ill intentions.”
“Everyone else already believes in you, but your captain still hasn’t let his guard down, it’s clear he’s doubting you. Sheron Perri, you should keep an eye on him and not assume he’s any sort of good person; for all you know, he might be planning to stab you in the back.”
Brian Cole said this to deliberately leave a bad impression of Logan, intent on shaking his faith.
Sheron Perri narrowed his eyes slightly, though he had been drinking, his mind was not so muddled.
Seeing that Sheron Perri didn’t speak, Brian Cole paused before continuing.
“Really, I don’t mean anything else, it’s just that all of this seems too coincidental. He was parachuted into our team, and he approached you out of the blue, which is why I started to doubt; I don’t want you to be deceived by him.”
How could his good brother say such a thing?
Moreover, the layered words led him to imagine many things.
Could it be that he is…
No, he dared not believe that his brother could be a traitor.
But thinking this way, he recalled the incident with the intelligence leak, where Brian Cole was also involved.
He was sure he had not spoken, and he had never doubted Brian Cole before, because it felt like they had been through thick and thin together, fighting to survive on the battlefield.
With such a close relationship, how could he be a traitor?
However, Sheron Perri clearly had a bold idea. But instead of expressing this in front of his good friend, he suppressed everything.
His face showed no signs of his thoughts, and he even mustered a doubtful expression that his friend would hope for.
“Ah? Is that so? I had no idea the captain was that kind of person. Could it be because you don’t understand him well enough, leading to some misunderstanding? I think you should have a good talk with him.”
As Sheron Perri spoke, he carefully observed Brian Cole’s expressions, only to see Brian Cole become anxious and hastily speak:
“It’s just my intuition. You know, back on the battlefield when I found you, it was also intuition that led me to you.”
Brian Cole played the emotional card, bringing up the past, which indeed caused a moment of hesitation to flash in Sheron Perri’s eyes.
That was a memory he couldn’t shake off.
Even if everyone else treated him poorly, didn’t trust him, this brother had always stood by his side.
“Thanks for the warning, I’ll be sure to keep an eye on him,”
Seeing his reaction, evidently distrustful of Logan, his good brother seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
“Good, Sheron Perri, that’s the way to do it. It’s getting late, you should rest. I’ll come to see you again when I have some free time.”
It seemed his main purpose for coming was not to see him, but to say that particular line.
After saying his piece, he left, cautiously checking left and right at the doorway.
Once sure no one had seen him, Brian Cole quietly left.
Sheron Perri hadn’t thought much of it initially, but now that he started piecing it together, he discovered more and more irregularities.
Whether it was their meeting, acquaintance, or becoming friends.
Or the sudden appearance of this person, reminding him so abruptly.
All of which made it difficult for Sheron Perri not to notice something amiss.
After sending Brian Cole away, his mind couldn’t settle down, and he had a restless night.
The next day, after much thought, he still went to Logan.
“Oh? Sheron Perri, what do you need?”
“I, I have something I need to tell you, Captain…”
His face was twisted in conflict, even appearing to struggle with his words.
Noticing his seriousness, Logan let him in and closed the door.
“All right, there’s no one else here, just speak your mind, you don’t have to hold back in front of me.”
“Okay, here’s the thing, my good brother Brian Cole came to see me yesterday…”
He slowly recounted the events of the previous day, including details with precision.
Hearing it all, Logan almost understood his purpose for coming.
Without waiting for the man before him to say more, Logan spoke first.
“Are you suspecting your good brother?”
Sheron Perri’s heart skipped a beat, although he was reluctant to admit it, he still nodded.
Having come to such a thought, what was there to hide?
Logan stroked his chin, contemplative about the sudden emergence of Brian Cole. To say that he wasn’t concerned would be impossible.
Moreover, his behavior was secretive and suspicious.
“Good, I understand. Thank you for the information, Sheron Perri. You can go back for now. I will settle this matter and get back to you.”

Sheron Perri opened his mouth, seeming to want to say something, but ultimately remained silent.
He lowered his eyes, only responding quietly,
“Yes.”
Logan kept a close watch on the man, and held a covert military intelligence meeting that night. He didn’t guard against Brian Cole; in fact, he had the message secretly passed to him.
True to expectations, that night, Brian Cole stealthily appeared outside the tent to eavesdrop on the so-called “military intelligence.”
He thought his actions went unnoticed, but Logan was already aware.
If at first it was only a suspicion, by this step it was almost confirmed.
After all, knowing that it was a secret not to be casually overheard, yet still coming to eavesdrop, what else could he be but a spy?
This Brian Cole was not conspicuous on normal days, but who would have thought he was a plant, a spy inserted by others. It was unclear whose side he was on, could it be the Demon Race?
