M: TSIA Chapter 49: The Killer Game
🕑 Added 2025-01-07 12:11:17 +0000 UTCCarefully, he placed the purple bike in the back of the truck, then turned and sat in the passenger seat. His voice sounded lower than usual, "Don't get me wrong. Zooey is a very good kid... I'm at fault with Zooey, don't blame her for treating me like this."
Lance didn't comment, just tilted his head, implying understanding without the need for words. "Let's go to Long Island," Lance said, his voice firm yet gentle, urging Ethan to focus on their mission.

...
Long Island is a long and narrow island located southeast of New York, near Manhattan Island to the west and surrounded by water on three other sides. The island is covered in dense forests, with abundant rainfall and a humid climate.
Known as one of the most suitable places for human habitation, Long Island is famous for its clear water beaches, coastal lighthouses, vineyards, and stunning natural scenery. It’s no wonder that this place has become a gathering spot for wealthy individuals from around the world.
The place Lance and Ethan want to visit is currently near the famous Stony Brook University, where a hunting club supported by the forest has become their focal point.
According to information provided by Mitat Yilmaz, the boss behind this hunting club is likely their main target — “The Wolf.”
“The Wolf knows that the CIA is looking for him, so the man hardly ever sets foot in the United States,” Ethan said, carefully adjusting his pistol. “Our mission this time is to use Albino to force The Wolf to come back. Albino controls most of Wolf's assets. If we can control Albino, Wolf will be bankrupt, and the man will definitely return to deal with Albino.”
Lance looked at Ethan seriously and said, “I will capture Albino; you stay outside.”
Ethan paused for a moment, staring at Lance with a sharp gaze. “Are you sure? Albino is very important to Wolf, and the defenses around Albino must be tight. This is very different from what we faced with Mitat Yilmaz.”
Lance shrugged casually, his face showing deep calm. “Since Vivi came to me, it means Vivi believes in my abilities.”
Lance paused for a moment, checking his preparations before continuing. “Now you need to control your heartbeat tightly. Avoid too much stimulation. If negative effects are triggered along the way, it could become a burden. So... leave this task to me. You’ve done a great job so far.”
Vivi had already warned: after being injected with the experimental drug, Ethan's heartbeat must remain stable. If not, Ethan could suddenly faint like what happened yesterday.
Being in a coma at the enemy's base camp is extremely dangerous. No matter how many lives you have, it won’t be enough to survive in such a situation.
However, more importantly, Lance has many extraordinary tricks that could help, but that’s also the challenge. Lance must be careful not to get too close to Ethan during this mission.
Ethan thought for a moment, feeling the tension flowing through his body, but finally, he just nodded and said, “Then you must remember, we only have one chance. If we fail this time, Albino will definitely hide, and he might even be killed by Wolf. We won’t get a second chance.”
Lance smiled confidently, a smile radiating determination. “Until we meet again.” With a swift motion, Lance put on his white jacket and buttoned it neatly, pulling up the hood to cover his face. In an instant, Lance jumped towards the flat wall. Like a cat, Lance climbed several meters nimbly, gliding upward with graceful movements, and landed steadily in the hunting area.
Before disappearing behind the wall, Lance turned and waved to Ethan with a confident smile.
Ethan, still holding the pistol in his hand, could only purse his lips while shaking his head slowly. With a slightly envious tone, Ethan muttered, “A nimble young man.”
This hunting area is quite luxurious, filled with various wild animals roaming freely.
There are wild boars, black bears, and many other wild animals. The atmosphere here is very different from the places they usually visit on previous missions.
Lance stepped carefully, like an invisible ghost in the dense forest. Although Lance has the ability to become invisible, this time he chose not to use it.
Before Lance could fully control his SHIELD powers, he preferred to keep his distance from his identity that could link him to superpowers. In missions like this, it is better to use such abilities as little as possible to avoid raising suspicion.
Lance now played the role of an assassin.
Lance wore a white cloak similar to the one he usually wore, but this time he was equipped with a lightweight yet powerful hidden sword near his elbow, as well as a grappling arrow that could help Lance fly over walls with agility.
With the martial arts skills Lance possessed, he became an unmatched assassin without needing to rely on magic. In fact, Lance's ability to perform a Leap of Faith—the deadly leap that could perfectly utilize body momentum—made him a very dangerous opponent.
Unfortunately, that ability could not be used this time.
Lance carefully circled the vast hunting ground. After some time, he found a tightly guarded office building. However, despite checking every corner, there were no signs of Albino there.
Where is Albino?
Were they deceived?
Calmly, Lance stepped into a secluded spot in the corner and quickly sent a text message to Ethan.
The message from Ethan arrived quickly: "Wait a moment."
A short while later, the next reply came: "Albino is counting Wolf's assets. Allegedly, Albino has to meet a certain guest. Albino might return after noon."
Lance replied briefly: "I will wait for him here."
After sending the message, Lance hid in the shadows of the upper floor of the building and began to observe his surroundings carefully.
As the sun moved toward noon, Lance remained still and motionless. With sharp eyes, he scrutinized every movement.
During his observation, Lance noticed that not many people were entering or exiting this office building.
