Jhon's position in the Apex Alliance felt more secure, but he was acutely aware that his footing was far from stable.

Marcus entered his office, bringing news of a recent development. "Jhon, Eleanor Savoy just informed us that Viktor Lang is maneuvering behind the scenes again. He's been rallying some of his contacts in logistics to put pressure on our supply chain. Seems he's trying to isolate us bit by bit."
