Shadow Winds Headquarters.
While Iris' halted showbiz career started taking off again with the now socially relevant film "Strong Yet Broken" and her soundtrack album, Lu Zihao was busy gathering power and resources for his group.
The authorities remained lenient towards the Shadow Winds, still considering them a vigilante group. Although they were already starting to become warier of the group, they hadn't become antagonistic yet. For now, at least.
Security in the Shadow Winds compound was tightened. Things inside became more organized, even starting to give off a militaristic feel. Not only was the group growing in power as a whole, but each of the individual members were also growing stronger. Training took up most of their time.
Inside the control room, Lu Zihao was currently reviewing a failed mission and reprimanding the assigned team when the leader of his hacker team asked for permission to speak to him.
"What is it?" he asked.
