Max was genuinely surprised to hear that. He knew how hard it was to get a business permit in Metropolis. "Wow. He must be extremely talented to earn a sub company from father."
"I'm not part of the Vanderbilt business," Michael corrected him. "Reborn has no affiliation with the Vanderbilt company."
Max's eyes showed confusion, not expecting to hear that coming from Michael. After all, in his eyes, the only way that a Vanderbilt could have a company of their own was if Yze gifted it to them. That was how he got the Vanderbilt branch here in Metropolis.
"How is that possible?" he asked genuinely.
"He built the company all on his own," Bart explained. "He didn't receive any help from father."
After hearing about this, Max couldn't help but look at Michael in a completely different light.
Building a company from the ground up was one thing. But building a company that was able to pass the permit test in Metropolis was a completely different thing entirely!
