Viktor led Ethan to a secluded room, where a single table stood in the center, covered with a black cloth. On the table lay a series of items—a gun, a knife, and a small vial of liquid. Viktor's eyes never left Ethan's face as he explained the task. "Ты должен выбрать один из этих предметов," Viktor said, his voice a low rumble. "И использовать его, чтобы доказать свою верность." (You must choose one of these items. And use it to prove your loyalty.)
