Chapter 478: Chapter 478

“Activate them!” Duncan ordered.

“Yes, sir,” Matt replied.

After returning to his office, Duncan made the arrangements for the funds to be activated.

The activation of the funds worth 16 billion dollars from Nevada Corporation and all of the other hidden companies caused Alexander’s results to soar sky-high.

But Julian was not to be trifled with either.

Alexander’s performance was improving rapidly, but so were the numbers on Julian’s side.

The two of them were always neck and neck in terms of performance.

The two brothers bumped into each other downstairs.

Just like before, their eyes turned bloodshot when they met each other.

The atmosphere was tense, and it was obvious that they could not stand each other.

Alexander said fiercely, “My dear big brother, just wait and see what I can achieve in the coming days.”

Julian replied coldly, “An illegitimate child can never change his status.

He will never be presentable.” Alexander clenched his fists.

He looked at Julian’s arrogant back with hatred.

Upon seeing that photo, Duncan smiled and said to Matt, “Look at Alexander’s angry gaze, he looks like he wants to eat Julian alive.” Matt was relieved to see the hatred in Alexander’s gaze.

“Only hatred can unlock a person’s full potential.” “That’s right!” Duncan sighed.

Didn’t he use to be like this back then? And he had succeeded in overtaking his half-brother.

In the following days, everyone became even more nervous.

Old Mr. Parks watched the statistics every day, along with his butler.

He was very nervous.

He asked the butler, “Gilderoy, did my heart go astray?” “Master Samuel, why do you say that?”

Gilderoy asked.

Old Mr. Parks sighed and said, “They’re both my grandsons, but I’m rooting for Julian to win.” Gilderoy sighed.

“Master Samuel, what you’re doing is already good enough.

Although you’re rooting for Julian to win the assets, you’ve also invested a lot into Alexander’s education.

It’s because of you that he hasn’t gone astray despite the mother that he has.” Indeed, it would be the greatest blasphemy if an illegitimate child was entitled to the same inheritance rights as the legitimate child.

“Alexander didn’t do anything wrong.

His only fault is that he has a mother like Layla Ziegler.” “But I still gave Alexander the right to compete!” Old Mr. Parks did not feel good.

He felt powerless.

He felt that no matter what he did, it seemed to be wrong.

Gilderoy understood him.

“You gave Alexander the right to compete because he didn’t become crooked when he grows up.

You also wanted to let him know that although he’s an illegitimate child, you still treat him as your biological grandson.

In addition, Julian had agreed to this contest.

Julian wants Alexander to accept his loss wholeheartedly, without any complaints.” “If Alexander wins in the end, I’ll become a sinner.

How can I face Chantal in the afterlife?” Old Mr. Parks let out a long sigh.

The butler said, “Master Samuel, don’t worry.

Julian is not going to lose.

His ability is obvious.

He has the help of his smart and virtuous wife, as well as the Xander family and the Blake family” “I hope so.” Old Mr. Parks looked at the numbers and was very worried.

Compared to Old Mr. Parks, the second branch’s people were more nervous and excited.

Albert even projected Alexander’s and Julian’s results on the big television in the living room.

He kept staring at the numbers without blinking.

Timothy had stopped going to the company.

In any case, he had already given all the resources in his hands to Alexander.

His two younger brothers had also stopped going to the company.

They were watching the numbers on the television intently.

The family sat down on the sofa and had a discussion.

Albert was the first to speak.

“Maybe we made the right bet.

Alexander will win.” Timothy also felt that Alexander had a higher chance of winning.

He said excitedly, “That’s right! Our decision is right.

We wouldn’t have been able to beat Julian if we did it by ourselves.

It’s no wonder Julian agreed so readily to this contest getting postponed twice.

It’s because he has a trump card like East Arising International Group.

Albert sighed.

“Yes, Julian is indeed very capable to be able to build a company like East Arising International Group.

However, I didn’t expect Alexander to be just as capable.

He has his own listed company.

Now, he can keep up with Julian’s performance and perhaps even surpass him.” Timothy’s two younger brothers echoed, “Alexander is indeed extraordinary.

I feel that this time, his chances of winning are very high.” “Look, the numbers are going up!” Jasmine said excitedly as she pointed at the screen.

The entire family stared at the television screen.

“Over 6 million.” “Over 10 million.” “Over 20 million dollars.” “Alexander is really too strong.

His numbers are on the rise.” “I’m just afraid that Julian will catch up again.

Timothy narrowed his eyes and said, “Don’t be afraid.

I talked to Alexander last night.

Besides relying on his own.

strength, he also has a friend who can support him.

His friend’s company is an international giant that is on par with East Arising International Group.”

Albert nodded.

He could not hide his excitement.

“That’s good.

We’ll be able to talk more in the future when Alexander takes over.” “That’s right!” “There are still seven days left.

It’s too torturous.

I’ve been suffering from insomnia for several days.” “Who isn’t? I just hope it ends well.” It was June 27th.

After Alexander’s numbers rose for three consecutive days, they were overtaken by Julian.

Moreover, it was a huge difference.

At first, Julian overtook Alexander by 15 million dollars.

Then, the numbers soared.

They became 40 million, 60 million, 100 million… In just half a day, Julian was ahead by 960 million dollars.

Alexander’s face was pale.

He could not sit still anymore.

He hurriedly left the office and went to Maple Hotel, which was located opposite the company.

Alexander rushed into Duncan’s office.

He was so anxious that he forgot to knock.

He said anxiously, “Mr. Smith, bad news.

Julian is going all out.

He’s overtaken me by too much.” Duncan was also looking at the data.

He left his computer switched on at his desk.

Occasionally, he would glance at the screen.

Most of the time though, he was playing an online game.

The online game was called Donkey Swoop, and it was his latest obsession.

He had been trying, but he could not pass the second stage no matter what.

He didn’t believe this.

He had been trying for three days.

When Duncan saw Alexander’s anxious look, he raised his eyebrows and said calmly, “What are you panicking for? Aren’t there still three days left?” “Mr. Smith, there are only three days left.

Our performance is lagging too far behind,” Alexander said.

Duncan suddenly laughed and asked Alexander, “Do you play this game?” “I played for a while last night, but I couldn’t pass the stage, so I stopped playing,” Alexander said.

“So, do you think it’s more difficult to play this game or to defeat Julian?” Duncan asked with a playful smile.

“Of course it’s more difficult to defeat Julian.

This is just a game.

Hundreds of thousands of people play this game every day,” Alexander said.

Duncan smiled and said, “To me, defeating Julian is an even simpler task than playing this game.

Do you believe in my ability to do that?
