章 180: More of his touch

Lucius didn't show much of his reaction because he had expected that only. "Did you uncover anything unusual at the scene?" he asked with curiosity.

"Not much, Boss. However," Zayne added, pausing momentarily for emphasis, "a handwritten note was discovered nearby." Reaching into his pocket, he retrieved his phone and unlocked the screen. He extended it towards Lucius, who looked at it. The more was crumpled before it was thrown to the ground.
