After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person

"Ladies and gentlemen, trouble is here again; that fellow is back, this time with a heap of diluted treasures, and he's brought some inexplicable people with him."

The security staff hurriedly barged in and presented a video calling device to everyone.

On the screen stood a man in his sixties with a face marked by scars.

Around him stood a dozen or so people, each exuding an air of distinction.

Fox couldn't help but frown.

"That old man refuses to die. I thought he was already dead. Why has he come here again?"

Out of curiosity, Chen Yu craned his neck to have a look at the screen and recognized the person to be Carroll Philock.

This man held an immense fortune, always ranking first among the world's richest as publicly known.

Fox tossed aside the communication device in his hand and hurried out.

The other elders remained indifferent, simply sitting there drinking tea without a care.

This was Chen Yu's first visit here, and he was filled with curiosity about why the world's richest man had come to this place.

When he stepped outside, Carroll looked at him with a gaze mixed with astonishment.

"Who is this kid? Has the Knights of the Round Table added a new member?"

Fox nodded and grabbed Chen Yu's hand, lifting the Token in his grip.

"He's a new member carefully selected by all of us. You want to join the Knights of the Round Table; you might have to wait a few more decades, that is if you can actually live that long!"

Carroll's breathing became ragged, and he quickly stepped forward.

"I refuse to accept this. How is this kid better than me in any way? My wealth is number one in the world, I have a very powerful family behind me, and each of my clients could be the best in their respective fields."

Such arrogant words were particularly distasteful.

Chen Yu also furrowed his brows but said nothing more. Instead, he took out a handful of sunflower seeds and started cracking them by the door frame, clearly in a mood to watch the show.

Carroll's anger intensified.

In his view, he was the only one worthy of becoming a new Knight of the Round Table.

"Fox, I know you are the recruiter for this generation's Knights of the Round Table. I want to have a contest with this kid, to prove that I am stronger than him."

Fox didn't say much; he only looked at Chen Yu with an inquisitive gaze.

The atmosphere became somewhat strange as numerous security personnel slowly surrounded them, ready to expel Carroll if necessary.

Chen Yu tidied up the sunflower seed shells in his hand and slowly stepped forward.

"Very well then, let's have a contest. I'd like to see just how formidable the world's richest man really is."

A flash of contempt crossed Carroll's eyes. He found a spot to sit, and pulled out a deck of playing cards.

Actually, at their level, competing in mere wealth or other capabilities seemed lowly.

Anyone who is extremely wealthy in this world owes their fortune, at least in part, to luck.

Therefore, a contest of luck was the best method of comparison.

"Let's keep it simple, each of us will draw one card from the deck, and whoever draws the higher number wins."

Chen Yu almost laughed, with the system in his hand, he could see through everything in this world. Even if the deck was placed in front of him, he could easily tell where the largest card was.

Carroll also appeared to be supremely confident, with a strange, crystal-like sparkle flashing in his eyes.

If you looked closely, you'd notice that he was wearing a pair of invisible glasses.

No wonder he wanted to bet on luck. It turned out he had come prepared: the invisible glasses in his eyes were made of a special material that allowed him to easily see through the cards.

Chen Yu slightly adjusted his breathing, then casually drew a card from the deck.

Carroll's expression clearly changed for a moment; he also drew a card, and when they both revealed their cards, the numbers were exactly the same—the highest numbers.

The first round ended in a tie, and both men found themselves in a deadlock.

Carroll, gritting his teeth and feeling unsatisfied, wanted to play another round, but suddenly, Fox appeared by his side and grabbed his shoulder.

"Old buddy, you're going too far. Coming here with x-ray glasses to play with this young brother here, even if you win, it won't be a win to be proud of. If I were you, I'd pack up and go home and stop causing trouble here, or else I'll have you thrown out."

Carroll suddenly let out a scream, becoming frantic.

His family had started to prosper centuries ago, and the descendants had taken the way of thinking left by their ancestors to the extreme, accumulating billions of wealth.

Theoretically, their family already had the qualifications to join the Knights of the Round Table.

In the past, many members of their family had received invitations from the Knights of the Round Table, including Carroll.

When they saw the environment of the Knights of the Round Table, it was as if they had opened the door to another world, unable to return to their former lives.

Therefore, joining the Knights of the Round Table became an additional goal for their family through the generations.

But no matter how hard they tried, it always seemed they were just a little short, getting eliminated at the very last step every time.

This time, Carroll wanted to make an effort on top of his previous attempts to see if he could join the Knights of the Round Table, but to his surprise, someone else had beaten him to it, and it was a young man not even thirty years old.

"Why? My family is already so powerful, why aren't we meeting the mark? What makes this little brat any better than me?"

Fox chuckled coldly and slowly moved forward a few steps.

"Although this young brother's wealth may not compare to yours, he possesses a skill you could never match, the Art of Resurrection."

Chen Yu's eyes widened. He indeed knew medicine, but as for bringing back the dead, he didn't have such an ability.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

However, remembering the scene when he saved someone at the Childe Family, Chen Yu understood.

The two patients from their family were already critically ill, and anyone else would have been unable to cure them. Moreover, the Childe Family had even set up a research lab specifically for their ailments, yet to no avail.

In the end, Chen Yu managed to cure them within a month, and naturally, they saw him as a divine healer.

Having someone like that join the Knights of the Round Table meant these old fellows might extend their lives by a decade or even several decades.

In this world, everything is related to interests. The older generation of the Knights didn't actually lack money; what they lacked was life and a healthy body.

This was also a major reason for Carroll's failure.

Upon hearing the words "Art of Resurrection," Carroll staggered and collapsed onto a chair. How many people in this world could achieve resurrection?
