Chapter 20 - A Mysterious Black Envelope Arrives At The Estate
On a peaceful Saturday morning, as golden sunlight bathed the manicured lawns, a black courier van arrived.
The private private-security guard handed a heavy black box bearing no return address to Marcus at the front gate.
Marcus inspected it thoroughly with a portable X-ray scanner before carrying the package into Daniel’s private study.
“Found no explosives or biological agents, Mr. Cole, but the envelope seal is extremely unusual,” Marcus noted seriously.
Daniel put down his coffee cup, staring down at the thick black box sealed with an unfamiliar crimson wax stamp.
He used a silver letter opener to crack the wax seal, sliding off the lid to reveal a heavy brass key and a note.

The handwritten note in neat, cold cursive read: “Victoria was just a regional pawn. The Zurich syndicate owns your board.”
Daniel’s jaw tightened as a chill ran down his spine, realizing his battle against global corruption was far from finished.
