Alex was shocked. Ten billion dollars? Who would pull this kind of prank?
Rockefeller Group was formidable in its heyday, with a market value of three hundred billion, but most of them were fixed assets. From what he knew, even his father did not have ten billion dollars cash in the bank. But more importantly, the old man claimed that he worked for William Rockefeller. "You said that you work for my father? That means that Thousand Miles Conglomerate..."-
Lord Lex nodded and said, "Yes, the entire Thousand Miles Conglomerate is yours, Master Alex."
Slap!
Alex slapped himself across the face.
Lord Lex said in surprise, "Master Alex, what are you doing?"
Alex replied, "I think I might be dreaming."
Lord Lex said, "This is all true. Your father, Mr. William Rockefeller, saved my life. If it weren't for him, I would have been dead by now. Back then, it was Mr. Rockefeller who built Thousand Miles Conglomerate. He then put me in charge of it."
"Huh?" Alex was dumbfounded, he still thought that it was just a dream.
Thousand Miles Conglomerate was out of Rockefeller Group’s league. It was rumored to have trillions of dollars in assets, and it even had a huge influence in the underground world, i
Alex thought to himself, 'My father created such a behemoth? Yet I have never heard of it?'
Lord Lex spoke again, "Mr. Rockefeller was a genius, not long after he founded Rockefeller Group, he also built Thousand Miles Conglomerate. One for the light and the other in the shadows to complement each other! Besides that, Mr. Rockefeller asked me to give this to you.”
With that being said, he took out a small antique box and handed it to Alex.
With a perplexed look on his face, Alex replied, "When did my father give it to you? Why are you only handing this over to me now?"
Lord Lex said, "Today is your twenty-fourth birthday. This is a birthday gift from your father. A year ago, Mr. Rockefeller had it arranged. Happy birthday, Master Alex!"
Alex was dumbfounded.
Lord Lex sighed and continued, "Master Alex, your mother is in a dire situation right now. As for me, it is not convenient for me to come forward and help. You should hurry! If you need anything, just give a call.
The number that I showed you just now is my personal phone number. I will always be on the line
for you, master."
Lord Lex had a weary look on his face. After he was done speaking, he got into the Rolls Royce and left the scene.
