Under the Millstone
Six thousand turns break the millstone and forge an empire.
Daniel Hale runs a modest breakfast shop until Victor Drake demands protection money he cannot pay. Desperate, he discovers an abandoned mill on his family's land and rotates its empty mechanism six thousand times. The grinding stone finally yields, revealing a concealed cellar stocked with gold bars and priceless antiques. Sudden wealth lets him purchase Southgate Food Factory, where he confronts Drake and secures the release of Olivia Hale. Momentum carries him further as he engineers a reverse takeover of Adrian Vance's Pinnacle Group.
