Originally

Back then, the Brown Brothers made their fortune by panning for gold and then turned to the jewelry and clothing business. At that time, Metropolis was in a period of rapid development. After several discussions, the brothers decided that Gerald Brown and his wife would stay in Metropolis, while Turner Brown and his wife would go to Zone Country to find suitable mines to buy for a steady supply of resources for their business in Metropolis.

During the last transaction, Gerald Brown transferred two hundred million to Turner Brown. This was all of the liquid funds available for the Brown family at the time, even requiring them to take out a bank loan.

After the transfer, Turner Brown and his wife disappeared like they had evaporated from the Earth, and they could no longer be contacted.
