Under the Millstone

A shopkeeper spins a derelict mill thousands of times to uncover hidden wealth and dismantle his extortionist.

Victor Drake bleeds Daniel Hale's modest breakfast stall with protection demands the business cannot meet. Desperate, Daniel spends hours turning the dormant family millstone exactly six thousand rotations until the mechanism fractures, exposing a concealed cellar stacked with gold bars and antique treasures. The windfall finances the acquisition of Southgate Food Factory, giving Daniel the leverage to shatter Drake's grip, liberate Olivia Hale, and execute a reverse takeover of Adrian Vance's Pinnacle Group.
