I dedicate these pages to all those who have felt in their hearts the temptation of money and the desperation of need. To those who have walked down dark paths seeking answers, and to those who have understood that true wealth is not found in gold nor in land, but in faith, in hope, and in the light that sustains us. To the families who struggle day by day against misery, to those who have lost loved ones in the battle against greed, and to those who still believe that God provides what is necessary to live with dignity. This tale is a reminder that the man dressed in black lurks in the shadows, but that trust in God is stronger than any pact, more powerful than any illusion of wealth, and eternal as life itself. With humility
