Capítulo 41: Chapter 41: Shadows in the Light 

The victory against the Shadow Collective was monumental, but Sophia and her team knew the world of international intrigue and clandestine operations would never truly be free from shadows. The Collective's downfall had created ripples that disrupted the criminal underworld, but it also left a power vacuum that others were eager to fill.

Sophia took a moment to reflect on the journey. She stood at the window, watching the city below come alive with the first light of dawn. The horizon was painted in hues of orange and pink, signaling a new day—a new era. But she knew that with light came shadows, and there were those who would always lurk in them.
