Early in the morning, when the sun was already shining red on the Eastern horizon, at the back of the luxurious mansion that was larger than a football field, the sound of water splashing in the swimming pool could be heard.

After enjoying his morning coffee and his routine to open the day, Zack Lockhart jumped into the water in the pool made of beautiful and expensive ceramics. All the materials were specially imported from Italy for the ceramic pool fixtures alone. An architect with international experience designed the pool, which is meandering in shape, filled with tropical plants on the left side and coral stones from the Caribbean on the right, coloring the Lockhart family's CEO's morning swim.

Zack Lockhart, the CEO and third richest person in Accomont City, controls a substantial amount of real estate, encompassing anything from homes and stores to grand office buildings. Finding a structure to house a factory is therefore not difficult. A number of structures were identified as factories that were not utilized in the growth of Lockhart Pharmaceutical. Furthermore, all of the factory's equipment—which is mostly used to produce drugs—was readily available and just required to be installed in accordance with the requirements and operations of the facility.

The Lockhart Company's operations were undoubtedly observed by other businesses, particularly the Erricson Company.
