Chapter 4 (2/2)
Connor was stunned. Suddenly, he remembered that he had indeed seen his granduncle when he was a child. The thing was that his family said that his granduncle had died when he was still in elementary school.
“Your granduncle was the chairman of Empire World Corporation. At the beginning of founding the company, Mr. Barry emigrated abroad and lived alone. Because he has no children and other next-of-kin, all his property will be passed on to you,” Thomas said slowly.
“I will inherit it all alone?”
Connor was stunned, not expecting that the stories that only existed in TV series had happened to him.
“Yes, let me give you a brief explanation of Mr. Barry’s estate. He has a billion dollars cash in the country, which I have transferred to you in advance.”
“But that is only a small part of it. Since Mr. Barry had been living abroad for a long time, besides Empire World Corporation in Oprana, his estate includes Terrance Group in Europe, Radiant Group, and several African oil companies.”
Thomas took out a document from the drawer and explained to Connor the estate that he was to inherit.
In the beginning, Connor was still listening attentively to Thomas’ explanation.

“Ten-Ten trillion? And, it’s in US dollars?” Connor was wide-eyed and voice trembling upon hearing what Thomas said.
“Absolutely.” Thomas looked at Connor and nodded.
“That’s impossible!” Connor shook his head. “You must be lying. My grandfather has a cousin, but I never knew that he is so wealthy. Ten trillion dollars should have put him on the list of world’s richest men.”
“I suppose you are talking about the Forbes list of the world’s billionaires, right?” Thomas looked at Conner and smiled.
“That’s right. That’s the list. If he was really that rich, he would have been on the list a long time ago, right?”
“Let me tell you this; the people you see on the list are not really rich enough.”

“They are on the list just to increase their fame in order to get better social resources. Mr. Barry had long passed that stage and had been living abroad for a long time. He just didn’t want to reveal his identity.”
Connor looked at Thomas and felt that he was not lying. Even if Thomas was a liar, there was no reason for him to deceive a penniless guy like him.
“Okay, then. Is there any condition for me to inherit the estate?” Connor calmed down his excitement and asked..
