Slide 6 - Tekstslide
On a quiet Wednesday, an honest man named Jack sailed his yacht to a remote isle. He had no doubt this trip would bring answers. Clutching a tattered receipt, Jack traced the name of a mysterious foreign benefactor who had sent him a cryptic letter promising a revelation about his late father’s past.
As Jack stepped ashore, a shadowy knight appeared, guarding a hidden column. “The truth comes with a price,” the knight said. Jack flexed his tired muscle, preparing for what was coming.
The knight handed him a small box. Inside was a dormant bomb, a document of indict for his father, and a letter: "Half your life has been a lie. Listen closely: your father’s secret marriage saved many but endangered more."
Jack’s wrist trembled. The letter ended with: "An extraordinary burden now falls to you. Will you answer the call?"
