Pittsburgh City Hall, Mayor's Office.
Leo had just finished a call with Raymond Stock.
The Thunder Celestial Master reported the latest developments to him every two days.
Stock's work ethic was far better than Evelyn's. He gave a detailed report on which Philadelphia socialites had come for consultations that day and what he had done.
Leo knew this invisible circle of power was quietly taking shape, but he was also aware that this kind of control, based on mysticism, couldn't be built overnight. It needed time to ferment and permeate.
What was more important right now was the document lying before him.
Leo leaned back in his leather chair, flipping through the file Ethan had just handed him under the glow of his desk lamp.
The cover was unadorned, bearing only a single line of cold, bold text:
"Implementation Plan for the Construction of an Independent Nuclear Energy Ecosystem in the State of Pennsylvania."
