"Susie, sorry to have made you act along with me. Every corner in my house is set u p with surveillance cameras. I can only pass the message to you in secret like this. I hope you don't mind."
The note went into the main topic.
"You must be wondering why you heard nothing of me in these three years and why I could accumulate my wealth so fast. I did save some funds through the share market in the beginning, but a group of people came to me just when I was ready to start a business. These people told me that they were powerful. If I were willing, they could provide me manpower and funding t o let me develop my business rapidly. I've never been one to believe in God. Besides, the identity of these people is suspicious, s o I refused to work with them.
"I didn’t expect them to show their true colors and hold me captive after knocking me out when I rejected them. Then, they slowly exposed their real identity.
"They belong to an organization called the Dark Night. The reason they came to me was because they appreciate my talent in business and hoped that I could manage the organization's assets so they could complete a grand plan.
"Out of options, I could only agree to their request. For the following years, their assets grew considerably under my management and they trust me, relatively.
"Not too long ago though, when the funding came through, they decided to launch a huge plan. That's how I panicked.
'Having had close contact with Dark Night these years, I have a few guesses. Rather than calling them guesses, I think they're 8 0% to 90% true.
"Firstly, there's probably a stronger force behind Dark Night as support. Secondly, their final mission is to wreak havoc in Skyking City.
"I'm passing you this note mainly for this matter. These people want me to make investments in Skyking City. They want m e to buy a few plots of land in the center of Skyking City and their men will bury things underground! There’s about one year from when I buy the land to burying what they planned before starting the construction. One year later, countless people will surge to the center of Skyking during the holidays, and by then, the number of casualties will be grave in the center of Skyking.
"The only thing I can do is tell you guys everything I know. Please, you must stop this from happening. The locations of the land those people made me buy are..."
Luke listed the locations of the plots of land one by one. In the end, he continued.
"Burn this letter after you read it. Don't try t o contact me. My mobile number and everything else is being watched.
"And Susie... I’m so happy to see you again."
The letter ended.
Julian wore a deep frown.
Susan looked at him. "What do you think about it?"
Julian narrowed his eyes. "He actually said that he was happy to see you again. It's obvious that he's still interested in you." Susan was speechless. It was after a long stretch of silence that she said, "That’s all you saw? The last line? What about what's written before that?"
The note was loaded with information. If the contents rang true, this was a serious matter.
