Chapter 732

Dogtown had descended into a vortex of chaos unlike anything it had seen before. Multiple factions were locked in vicious struggle across this lawless zone: the Hounds patrolling heavily armed through every artery, Arasaka operatives slipping like shadows through alleys, Militech commandos maneuvering slowly in the dark, and even strike teams from other corporations converging here at this most volatile of moments.

President Rosalind Myers’ crash was a bombshell that shattered the fragile balance Hansen had barely managed to maintain. Every faction was now frantically seeking her, desperate to confirm whether she was alive or dead—knowledge that would become a decisive bargaining chip in the days ahead.

In this mire of confusion, conflict raged not only between rivals but also within supposed allies. Members of the same organization turned on one another over factional divides or personal gain. Corporate operatives who met on the street often aimed their guns at each other instead of offering aid. Intra-faction bloodletting could be more savage than the wars against rival corporations.
