บท 367: Good news for Greed

— Night - San Francisco —

From the dizzying heights of her penthouse in the Golden Empire building, Greed, one of the most powerful women on the global stage, surveyed her domain. The sprawl of San Francisco shimmered beneath her like a glittering tapestry, a million points of neon light weaving a mesmerizing dance across the landscape. 

The city skyline was a testament to the power of the United States of America, each building a brick in the edifice she'd helped construct. Even the iconic Golden Gate Bridge, a symbol of progress reaching beyond the city limits, seemed to hum with the energy of her relentless ambition.

However, Greed held a peculiar affection for a hidden gem within this concrete jungle. Nestled amongst the winding lanes, a secret haven awaited her - a house on Lombard Street, offering an unparalleled vista of the city by night. Unfortunately, recent events in the Confederacy had cast a shadow over her usual escapes.
