Chapter 21 - A Chilling Final Warning Left In The Shadows
Midnight struck across Manhattan, casting long, silent shadows over the towering glass skyscrapers of the financial district.
Inside the private office of Bennett Enterprises, the security lights hummed softly in the empty room.
A single pristine white envelope rested on the center of the mahogany desk, untouched by the automatic cleaning staff.
Julian walked over, picking up the envelope and tearing open the heavy paper flap with cautious fingers.
Inside lay a single photograph taken secretly from across the street, showing him standing on his balcony.
Written across the back of the photograph in bold, chilling red ink was a message that froze his blood:
“The board has fallen, but the game has only just begun. We are watching you, Julian…”

Julian stared at the warning with a cold, fearless smile, knowing he was finally ready for whatever came next.
