Chapter 295 Since Hendery had Rowena to take care of him, and his condition had improved a lot, Kayson just told them what to watch out for before leaving the hospital with Campian. The victim of the mountain fire that the investigator had talked about was indeed Shaun, the building materials mogul in Skyriv.
Perhaps it was because Kayson had saved Hendery‘s life that Campian was very grateful to him. He shared all of the information the investigator told him with Kayson.
After reading through the investigation report, Kayson had a rough idea of what was going on
Shaun worked in the building materials industry, so woods were very important to him. Besides, he had contracted a large amount of forest land some years earlier.
One of the reasons his business had flourished was that Northspring was a city surrounded by mountains and forests, so he could reduce the costs.
Other cities in Skyriv did not have as many mountains and forests as Northspring. Not only that, but logging was not allowed in most of the forests, and this put Shaun in an even more advantageous position.
He had all the resources he needed, so of course, he would become a building materials mogul. He had a huge advantage over other people working in the same industry. Because he could satisfy his own needs, he had formed a nearly closed–loop supply of building materials. Thus, he had very little dependence on outsiders. Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
This was also the reason he could ignore Sir Osborn from Skyspring.However, if a large number of his mountains and forests were burned down, it would be devastating for him.If he went to other provinces to look for wood supply, the cost would go up, and profit would go down. Although he would still be able to reign supreme in the industry, he would have to give up a lot of profit in return. After all, he not only
supplied building materials to all parts of the provinces but also to other provinces where mountains and forests were scarce.The losses could be astronomical.The mountain fires that happened everywhere in the past two days stressed Shaun.Fortunately, the fighter he had hired was meticulous. He discovered the energy mark left behind by someone, so he told him that someone must be setting the mountains on fire to take revenge against him.Shaun knew what was going on after what the fighter told him. However, he did not have any evidence, so he couldn‘t do anything at all.
Ultimately, he had no choice but to ask for help from the Admiralporium.The Admiralporium was efficient. They immediately sent someone to look into the matter and compiled a comprehensive analysis report. When they reported to Campian, that was when Kayson learned that Shaun was in trouble.At the company…Shaun was pacing back and forth nervously. A middle–aged man in his 40s sighed and said, “ Mr. Cash, no matter how anxious you are, you have to wait for the Admiralporium.”Shaun forced a smile and said, “Of course, I understand that, Mr. Shorrock. But I‘m pressed for time.”
Mr. Shorrock was the master–level fighter that Shaun had hired to be his bodyguard. His name was Ren Shorrock.As they were talking, a series of footsteps rang out outside the door, and a group of six people walked in.“Have you come up with a solution yet, Shaun?” The man standing in the front was a middle aged man who was about the same age as Shaun. His eyes were cold, but there was a hint of mockery and smugness in them.Shaun‘s face sank. “Bryce, don‘t you think you‘re too anxious?”Bryce was one of the shareholders of Shaun‘s company. The shares he was holding were only second to Shaun.He was the second person in charge. However, not only did he not put more effort into putting out the fires and finding the cause of the fires, but he had also criticized Shaun openly in the board of directors meeting. He had accused Shaun of his negligence of duty and lack of prevention awareness. He had also said that he often neglected his work to find a doctor for his son.In other words, he was saying that Shaun was no longer fit to lead the company.Nobody was initially standing on Bryce‘s side, but as more and more forests got burned to the ground, some shareholders started to panic.
