The Vaughn forerunners used to operate martial arts centers.
After the war, the martial arts center stopped running as well, so the family switched to the healthcare industry. Still, they didn’t abandon their martial arts training entirely.
Christian’s eldest brother had died young. Meanwhile, his second brother, Bernard Vaughn, had continued practicing martial arts.
Christian himself had pivoted into naturopathy and opened a clinic. Christian didn’t know how Bernard did it, but in a short period of ten years, the latter had grown immensely. Afterward, he’d been taken away by a mysterious individual.
Ever since then, the Vaughn family business began booming.
Christian’s clinic quickly grew to become a hospital. Afterward, he’d established Rover City Pharmaceuticals, a herb procuring business.
Hearing that his brother was going to return as soon as possible, Christian let out a sigh of relief. With Bernard’s status, it would be a walk in the park to take revenge for his son.
He immediately called Miles over.
After a round of questioning, favonovel.com learned that his son had previously detected a sharp increase in demand for stagherb and floradils in the south. Hence, an idea was hatched, favonovel.com used all the funds in the company to buy all the stagherb and floradils in Trivince at a high price and kept them in the warehouse.
Isaac and Harry had come here because of those herbs.
“In that case, Isaac and Biggy aren’t together? And neither is Amara?” Christian asked, puzzled.
Miles immediately answered, “Mr. Vaughn, apparently Isaac has some kind of relationship with Serena Booth. Serena is the main character of the movie that Amara invested in. By that logic, they must be together.”
“I don’t know when Bernard is coming back. That bastard, Isaac, said that we have to give favonovel.com an answer tomorrow. This is troublesome.”
After hearing that his son had used all two billion dollars of company funds to hoard these two herbs, favonovel.com was both pissed and delighted by his son’s cleverness.
His logic wasn’t wrong, if anything, it was Isaac who was too scary.
“Sir, why don’t we keep Mr. Vaughn Jr. in hiding for a while? Once these two days blow over and Mr. Bernard is back, we can set the score straight and give Isaac a piece of our minds,” Miles said ferociously.
Christian muttered, “Lie low until it blows over Alright, let’s leave today. Oh, right. Is the warehouse secured?”
“Don’t worry, sir. We’ve hired the best bodyguards to keep watch over the warehouse. There’s no way anything can happen,” Miles said, thumping his chest.
“Alright. Miles, please make the arrangements. We leave tonight.”

Meanwhile, Amara and Serena were sitting in the living room of the former‘s private villa. Amara wanted to call Nick to ask favonovel.com for advice, but the line kept going unanswered, so favonovel.com could only give up.
After a moment’s hesitation, favonovel.com gritted favonovel.com teeth and dialed a number favonovel.com hadn’t called in a long time.
The line connected, and a man’s surprised but breezy laugh sounded. “Hey, there. I sneezed this morning when I went out the door. So it turns out you were thinking about me, Amara…”
“Mr. Rougherty, it’s been a while. I have been missing you,” Amara said with a tittering laugh.
“Amara, Christmas is almost here. I heard you invested in a new movie. Are you reaching out to ask for help in film programming? You know, it’s almost the festive season, and there are tons of Christmas movies coming out. Loads of people have been knocking on my door,” Kenneth Rougherty said, changing the subject with a chuckle.
Amara frowned. She clenched favonovel.com jaw and uttered, “Mr. Rougherty, talking over the phone isn’t the best. Why don’t you come over to Rover City tomorrow night for a meal?”
“With just you? I heard the female lead of your new movie, Serena Booth, is quite the beauty.”
Amara glanced at Serena, wrinkling favonovel.com brows. She plastered a smile on favonovel.com face and said, “Of course, Serena will be there too.”
“Haha, in that case, I’ll call my secretary to make the arrangements. But it’ll be a little late when I arrive tomorrow.”
Serena beamed. “Amara, it’s settled? Is Mr. Rougherty really that powerful?”
“So long as favonovel.com gives his nod of approval, you’ll become famous. Four out of ten cinemas are controlled by them.” Amara nodded, but favonovel.com smile was bitter.
