Chapter 17 - the new dawn at the corporation
The morning after the brutal, silent war, the city of Chicago woke up completely unaware of the absolute carnage that had taken place in the shadows. The sun rose over the towering skyscrapers, casting a brilliant light over Silas's corporate headquarters.
