After breeding thousands of tree, you have finally succeeded at creating the first golden tree. The leaves of this tree are pure 24 karats gold. If you bring this on the market it will ofcourse plummet the old price. Something the banks most certainly will not like. If the gold price plummets, then the gold in their safes becomes useless. This is why they send their worst "friends" to come and destroy the tree. Protect the tree for as long as you can.
