🕑 Added 2025-02-17 11:59:47 +0000 UTCLance reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone, staring at the screen for a moment.
It was a call from Vivi.
"See you later, Doctor Druid," Lance said while waving his hand.
Dr. Druid—or Anthony Ludgate—smiled slightly and replied, "Alright, since you have something to do, see you next time!"
After saying a formal goodbye, Lance quickly turned and left Metro-General Hospital.
...
...
...
Once outside the hospital, Lance quickened his pace to the nearest alley, and in an instant, his body soared into the air. Within seconds, Lance had landed on the roof of another building, far from the crowd.
He finally answered the ongoing phone call in his pocket.
"Vivi, did Wolf show up?"
Lance knew that the clone he left at home hadn't triggered any alarms. This meant Vivi was not at his house, and this call was clearly not just a casual chat out of loneliness.
A crisp laugh came from the other end of the line. "Your sixth sense is as sharp as ever."
Lance grinned. "I can't imagine you calling me at midnight without a reason. What else is going on besides this?"
"This is so unfair to me. Can't I just miss you?" Vivi said in a mock sulky tone.
Lance chuckled softly. "If you really missed me, you would have come to my house, not just called."
"Haha, darling, you know me best." Vivi giggled before her tone turned more serious. "According to the latest information we have, Wolf has entered New York."
Lance chuckled quietly. "It's only been a day since Albino was captured. It seems you really hurt Wolf; otherwise, that man wouldn't have so quickly trapped himself in your snare."
"Of course." Vivi sounded proud. "If Wolf waited a few more days, he would definitely go bankrupt. As you said—when the leader falls, the followers who are only looking for profit will flee immediately. This is a matter of life and death for Wolf and his entire organization. Even if New York is a dangerous place for Wolf, he still has to take this risk, right?"
Lance had known about this plan for a long time, so he immediately asked, "Do you know where Wolf is now? And where is Agent Ethan?"
"Ethan is tailing Wolf." Vivi paused for a moment, as if thinking of something funny, then giggled before saying sarcastically, "That guy seems to be trying to play the 'subordinate but spy, spy but subordinate' trick. Realizing there might be a leak in the workforce, Wolf still rented a luxury car from Mitat Yilmaz to travel."
Lance then smiled faintly. "The most dangerous place is the safest place, huh? Seems like that doesn't always work."
"Ethan is following Mitat Yilmaz. Most likely, this time Mitat himself will be driving for Wolf. We need to wait a little while before we get more news." Vivi paused for a moment, then her tone turned soft and teasing. "Darling, there's something I want to ask you directly. How about we meet somewhere?"
Lance pursed his lips and said flatly, "Just tell me where you are."
"At the club yesterday." Vivi replied casually.
Lance nodded slightly, then asked, "Who else is with you?"
"Just Glenn." Vivi answered nonchalantly.
Lance knew Glenn was Vivi's subordinate and personal bodyguard, someone who was always by her side.
"Tell Glenn to leave." Lance said without hesitation.
Vivi chuckled softly. "Well, Glenn is already gone."
"Okay."
Lance hung up the phone without further ado, then immediately raised his hand, where he was wearing a Sling Ring. With a smooth motion, Lance began to draw in the air, and within seconds, sparks leaped to form a glowing circle.
A portal opened in front of Lance.
"Tsk, it's been a while since I used the Sling Ring, my hand is a bit sore." Lance shook his head, then stepped through the portal without hesitation.
As soon as he arrived at the location, Lance immediately saw Vivi still holding her phone.
This time, Vivi was wearing different clothes than before. Her shoulder-length hair was neatly styled into an updo, showcasing her beautiful, fair neck. The low-cut navy blue dress hugged Vivi's body perfectly, accentuating her alluring charm. Vivi looked very sexy and captivating, but her expression seemed a bit dull, as if something was bothering her mind.
Lance waved his hand to close the portal, and at that moment, Vivi's expression changed slightly.
"My dear, you never told me you had skills like that." Vivi said in a surprised tone.
Lance shrugged casually, then sat down next to Vivi, reaching for the wine glass on the table and sipping the drink calmly.
"It requires a special magical weapon. I just got it." Lance replied casually.
Vivi's eyes instantly sparkled with curiosity. "Is this related to the commotion that afternoon?"
Lance looked at Vivi, his eyebrows slightly raised. "You know?"
Vivi smiled casually, then exhaled slowly. "Darling, I'm a CIA supervisor. How could I not know about such big news?"
Then Vivi placed her cigarette in the ashtray, wrapping her arm around Lance's, her face radiating enthusiasm. "Unfortunately, there’s no video… Oh, actually there is, but for some reason, everything was deleted. Was that your doing?"
Lance remained calm and answered without surprise, "That should have been our boss's doing."
Vivi tilted her head, her eyes sparkling with curiosity. "Boss...? You mean... Sorcerer Supreme?"
Vivi had heard Lance mention a few things about the magical world, so the name of the number one sorcerer on Earth was not unfamiliar to her. Moreover, Vivi knew that Lance was one of the Sorcerer Supreme's students.
"Yes." Lance nodded.
Vivi looked deeper into Lance's eyes, then asked in a softer voice, "Who are the people that are actually in conflict with you?"
Lance took a breath, then answered casually, "They are also sorcerers from Kamar-Taj."
Lance then briefly recounted the incident.
Vivi listened attentively, but at the end of the story, she seemed a bit disappointed. She sighed softly. "This world is truly beautiful... I really want to see it with my own eyes."
