Chapter 17: The Alliance

With the escalating threats, Alexander knew they needed stronger allies. He reached out to other community leaders and reform advocates, forming a coalition dedicated to rooting out corruption and providing opportunities for the city's youth.

At a meeting with the coalition, Alexander spoke passionately about their mission. "We've seen the damage corruption can do," he said. "But together, we can build a better future. We can give our children the chance to thrive, free from the shadows of crime."

His words resonated deeply with the attendees, and the coalition grew stronger, unified by a common goal.
