CHAPTER 569
After going out to find Lord Lex, Alex immediately said, “One of the projects in the Southern California
Business Association Battles is named the Sky Tower, Lord Lex. I want you to take that.” Lord Lex also heard about the names of the projects in the SCBA Battles this time. He was instantly surprised after hearing Alex’s request. He smiled bitterly. “The project of the Sky Tower is
the most important and largest among the resources allocated in the SCBA Battles this time, Mr. Rockefeller.
I can’t stress just how many people have their eyes set on it, I… don’t think I am up for the job!”
“How can we get it, then?”
“As the champion of the tournament. However, throngs of expert contenders will be expected to show up. Not
to mention local fighters from Southern California, there are also hired strange people and even foreign experts.
Some forces are willing to fight one another to death for the best resources… Unfortunately, we do not have
anybody qualified enough at Thousand Miles. Moreover, now Waltz and Azure in such condition…” Alex replied, “I will go.” Lord Lex’s eyes sparkled. However, he immediately became embarrassed. “Just you alone, might not be enough to win the tournament!”
“Oh, what do you mean?”
“According to past regulations, each side has to send out five fighters in the round -robin battle. No matter
how strong you are, you cannot possibly fight all five of your opponents alone, you will need a break in
between.”
Alex understood what Lord Lex was trying to say.
Even if he was strong enough to overwhelm five opponents in the battle, but there were multiple battle forces, how many times could he do it without giving out to exhaustion?
Furthermore, it was also unwise to underestimate his opponents. How can he, a supposed Grandmaster, ensure that there would be no Earth ranked experts invited to the
tournament?
“I see. There’s still one week’s time. I’ll treat Waltz’s injuries and advance her fighting abilities to the next Content © provided by .
level. Moreover, I will gather all the five people for the tournament.” Lord Lex was shocked. “Can Waltz’s energy core be recovered even after it’s shattered?”
“Of course, I am confident!” said Alex. Overjoyed, Lord Lex broke into a broad smile. “Mr. Rockefeller is indeed an outstanding man with superior
talents in the country, coupled with legendary medical skills!”
After fawning over Alex, he continued, “There is one small problem, though. The construction of the Sky
Tower requires the commitment of a strong construction company, otherwise, you won’t be able to get past
the restrictions. I see you have a good relationship with Waylon Realty’s Charles Carter, why don’t we let him
undertake the contract of the construction project? We do not have any suitable entities in Thousand Miles.”
“Sounds good, I will get back to you.”
A brief exchange later, they had their action plan set. Lord Gunther did not have high hopes for the Sky Tower
initially, but now, he felt a surge of ambition and zeal in his heart, burning passionately.
Getting his hands on the Sky Tower project also meant Thousand Miles Conglomerate’s rise to the top of
SCBA. With that, Lord Lex himself might even become the next president of the association. It was because the current president was old enough, it was almost time for him to retire.
“Amazing! This is amazing!” Alex heeded no attention to the ecstatic Lord Lex and quickly left Hell’s Angels. He wanted to call Brittany and tell her that William Rockefeller might be alive still. However, he kept his
impulse at check and decided against it. What if it was just a false hope?
If he was still alive, where did he go for the past ten months?
“Hello, Hailey!” Alex’s call to Hailey Lawson was picked up. “Alex! I was just about to tell you some good news!” Hailey said excitingly. “What about it, are you pregnant?”
“You‘re the one with good news, you are pregnant.”
“Hailey, I’m a guy, isn’t it inappropriate to use such a term on me?”
“Oops, I’ll talk about serious stuff with you then…
