Lory then discussed what had happened this afternoon. Lory actually noticed since she was in the car showroom someone had been watching her and Lilly for quite some time, but Lory didn't confront that person, firstly, she didn't know who they were, how many there were, and what they wanted.
Lory also didn't know who their target was, this made Lory very worried if their target was Lilly, therefore Lory told Lily to go first to find out who their target was. If the target is Lilly, Lory will follow them and stop them before the situation gets worse.
But it turns out that what they were after was Lory. Honestly, this situation made things easier for Lory, although based on Zhao Li Xin's sullen face, he didn't think the same.
Lory then found out that this was all the work of Ron Augburn, who felt hurt because Lory had indirectly caused the spoiled brat to be evacuated out of the country and forbidden to party with rich people and celebrities anymore.
Not to mention the consequences of what happened to Lilly at that time, gossip about her spread like wildfire on various social media which made her the subject of ridicule, and Ron blamed it all on Lory.
The next day, Lory conveyed this to Hugo who had also received a report from his subordinates. Unfortunately at that time, they were only focused on monitoring Lilly so they didn't realize that Lory had been kidnapped. However, they received information about strange activity in the abandoned area, but when they arrived there were no other people left though they found traces of the previous fierce fight.
Even though it was Lory who deliberately allowed herself to be kidnapped, Hugo still felt guilty because it all happened because of his family and he still needed Zhao Li Xin to help him with his plan, that's why he has a meeting with Edmund to talk seriously about this matter later on they both agree to send a legal letter to sue Ron Augburn for what he did to Lilly and Raven.
Edmund agrees to take this step after he finds out what has happened and is increasingly worried about Ron's recklessness which might harm Lilly in the future so he agrees to sue Ron even though the legal process would take a long time since they were both powerful families but at least this will become a stern warning to the Augburn family not to underestimate the Hamilton family.
But what makes Edmund truly anxious is knowing the connection between the Augburn family with the underground Guild. One should know how powerful the Underground Guild was and even after the Dark Ages war, the guild was still able to survive and maintain its influence in the underground world to this day.
Therefore, the idea that someone behind the Augburn family could ask the help of someone belonging to an underground Guild to do a small job was a very disturbing discovery.
____________________________
While the Hamiltons were busy carrying out their plans, the Augburns were no better. Jacob has just received a report from his assistant stating that the Poko-Poko company has flooded several large supermarkets in Eagle Rock city with its products ranging from home packaged food, canned food, instant food, and drinks.
According to reports, all Poko-Poko products not only have better quality, but the prices offered are also cheaper compared to Ancora products, which has resulted in a decline in sales of their products, although not yet significant.
However, if this continues, it is not impossible that the Anchora market will be taken over by Poko-Poko products, but what is even more surprising is that the Hamilton family has collaborated with the Poko-Poko brand. This is also an announcement that the Ellecant group will enter the food market and also shows the fractured relationship between the Hamilton family and the Augburn family.
This would force many people to take sides and Jacob wasn't sure that many people would side with them at least, not now when their power was still not ripe yet.
Jacob thought they still had time to plan ahead until he got another news that Ron was sent to the hospital half-dead by people he hired without his knowledge. Jacob and Robert were stunned when they got the news, while Isana burst into tears when they got the news. They hurriedly went to the hospital to find out more about the situation.
When Jacob and Robert received the information from Ron's hired men, they were stunned by the whole situation. How did they know that Ron dared to sneak into Robert's cell phone to get the contact of the Underground Guild, what was more perplexing was that the Underground Guild sent one of their highly gifted group to Ron in order to kill Raven Jane who currently had a close relationship with Hamilton to the point that they allowed living in Hamilton Manor so undoubtedly the Hamilton family should already know about this!
A searing Rage burned inside him like an erupted volcano as Jacob realized the reason why Edmund who usually always chose an amiable path in making decisions in order to avoid unnecessary commotion had finally taken the extreme by openly severing the relations between Hamilton and Augburn families to the public.
The cause of this was none other than his idiot younger brother, because of Ron all their meticulous plans to get rid of the Hamilton family have gone down the drain. What makes Jacob angry even more is that Ron failed to kill Raven Jane which means the Hamilton family will have sufficient evidence and witness to oppress them.
"Jacob, the situation..." Robert's face stiffened due to holding back his anger because like Jacob he too realized how big a problem they were facing.
"Now, I hope we send Ron to prison early on..." Jacob scoffed loudly.
Robert also regretted that if he had restrained his pride by telling Ron to kneel in front of the Hamilton family and perhaps let him languish in prison for just a few years then this problem would not have escalated so quickly and quickly.
Besides, with the influence of the Augburn family, they were able to buy the prison so Ron could live comfortably, and with their army of lawyers it wouldn't take long to get Ron out of prison but now, not only Ron infuriated the Hamilton more he also committed bigger crimes. Unfortunately, there's no point in crying over spilled milk now.
Suddenly the doors to the surgery opened and several doctors rushed toward the Augburn family. Isana, who had been standing in front of the operating room door, was startled and when she saw the doctors' expressions, Isana immediately had a bad feeling soon after her face turned as white as powder.
"My son? how...how is he?" Isana anxiously grabbed the doctor's hand.
The doctor calm her down "Mr. Ron Augburn is okay, ma'am."
"Thank God" Isana breathed a sigh of relief, she almost fell to her knees if Robert hadn't put his arm around her waist.
"However..."The Doctor holds his breath.
Panic held Isana's heart in a tight grip "What...what happened to my child? Tell me quickly!" she shouted impatiently.
"Isana, calm down" Robert tried to calm his wife then he asked again "What's wrong with my child?"
The doctors exchanged glances for a moment then said "We don't know what happened but, the recovery potion has no effect on your child's body and we have called a healer to help heal your Son but strangely their power doesn't work on your child?"
Confusion flashed on the Augburn family "What do you mean? Is there something wrong with the hospital doctor?" Jacob didn't understand.
Healers are very different from Doctors, unlike healers who use their healing talents to heal people despite having no understanding of human biology or the practice of medicine unless the healer chooses to learn about medicine.
However, because of their ability to heal wounds instantly, some Healers are employed in many hospitals and they are usually given the task of assisting doctors in dealing with emergency problems. As happened to Ron, who came with heavy injuries all over his body, the first aid given by the healer was to relieve the injuries on Ron's body before being treated by a doctor, but something very strange happened that confused the doctors and healers.
"Tell me!" Isana can't hold the suspense.
The doctor sighed heavily "There is nothing wrong with the healer's power because we have tested it on other patients and it works as usual but for some reason, it doesn't work on Mr. Ron like there is something blocking the healing gift and not only that, the healing potion also doesn't work, this our first time experiencing this situation so we were also lost about it..."
"So it never happened before?" Jacob frowns.
The doctor shook his head regretfully "Yeah, I never even came across this even during the Dark Ages war, me and my colleague don't understand what happened here?"
"What do you mean you don't understand? You're a doctor right, so find out something, or I'll destroy this entire hospital with you!" Isana's voice echoed throughout the hospital, attracting the attention of the people there.
"Isana!" Robert squeezed Isana tightly, the harsh warning in his eyes immediately covered Isana's lips. No matter how angry or sad she was, she would never dare to upset her husband as no one knew better how Robert truly was other than her.
"I apologize for my wife's behavior. She's too stressful for our son" Robert smoothed things over "Then what should we do with Ron? do you have any ideas?"
Robert's politeness made the Doctor feel better besides as a professional this wasn't the first time the Doctor had seen a family react badly after receiving bad news although this was the first time someone wanted to destroy the entire hospital.
"We will ask a more experienced healer to see what happened and for now we can only treat Mr. Ron normally, but don't worry we have the best equipment here" the doctor reassured him.
Since there is no other way Robert can only nod "We left our Son in your care"
"of course, Mr. Augburn, we will do the best we can!" the doctor gave a polite nod and then left with the other doctor.
