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

Chen Yu immediately became alert and stood up abruptly.

That figure was completely shrouded in a black robe, and his face was indiscernible. Even when the system was used, it was disrupted by some magnetic field.

The guy had stood there for quite a while before finally taking off his hat.

"Mr. Chen, you've gone too far. We finally built up a base here, and you destroyed it as soon as you arrived. Is this how the Xuanqing Sect handles things?"

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow. The man in front of him wore the badge of the Knights of the Round Table on his chest; he seemed to be a subordinate of the Childe Family.

"Those guys are nothing but swindlers. I simply destroyed their den. Is that also wrong?"

The man clenched his teeth so hard they made a cracking sound.

The reason they chose Tulingrade as their base was that it was near the Arctic Circle, desolate, and the residents were either rich or noble.

However, these people had all fled here from various parts of the world and had very low cognition.

As long as they created a deity for them, they would willingly hand over their life's savings.

In this way, they could plunder wealth here without limit.

Now, everything here had been destroyed by Chen Yu, and the treasure beneath the church was also in his hands.

"Mr. Chen, no matter what, you were once a member of the Knights of the Round Table. As the Sect Leader of Xuanqing Sect, have you forgotten past kindness?"

Chen Yu almost laughed; he really couldn't recall any kindness from the Knights of the Round Table.

"Get lost, you won't get any wealth from here! Go back and tell Fox that before long, the Childe Family will vanish from this world."

The man's eyes widened as he stared at Chen Yu with a horrified gaze.

"Mr. Chen, are you openly declaring war on the Knights of the Round Table?"

Chen Yu took out a Token of the Knights of the Round Table from his body and threw it over.

"Take this back to Mr. Fox and tell him to clean his neck and wait obediently at home."

The man gasped heavily and, not daring to say more, quickly picked up the Token and left in a hurry.

A cold smirk appeared on Chen Yu's face.

From this moment on, he had completely broken with the Knights of the Round Table.

Jin Lingsu also hurried to Chen Yu's side at this moment.

"What exactly happened in the city?"

Chen Yu patted the dust off his clothes and pointed to Xu Chenguang not far away.

"You stay here. In a few days, Sect Leader Xu will take you to the Xuanqing Sect."

Jin Lingsu was displeased.

"What does this mean? Don't you want me to continue following you?"

Chen Yu let out a sigh, "I have to go somewhere, and I must go alone! Once I've sorted things out, we'll meet at the Childe Family."

Jin Lingsu immediately understood that Chen Yu was preparing to go to war with the Knights of the Round Table.

"Alright, waiting for you!"

Chen Yu didn't say any more, mounted the snowmobile that had been prepared earlier, and sped away.

The far north, though desolate and uninhabited, was favored by major organizations as a place to establish bases.

Unbeknownst to many, a number of small cities had been built here.

A few hours later, Chen Yu arrived at a city that seemed very dilapidated.

Compared to Tulingrade, this place seemed somewhat slack. There wasn't a single person guarding the gate, and the streets were full of ragged figures, looking very deserted. The only busy place was a pub not far away.

Chen Yu carelessly tossed the snowmobile aside and headed straight for the pub.

Just as he approached the entrance, two burly men blocked his path.

"Entering the tavern costs ten taels of gold."

Chen Yu showed no surprise and directly took out a small piece of gold and tossed it over.

The two burly men immediately became respectful.

"Sir, please come inside. If you need anything, just give us a shout."

Chen Yu sneered and walked straight into the tavern, taking a seat right in the center.

Everyone drinking here had a murderous look on their faces.

Each of them had at least a dozen lives on their hands.

The bartender behind the counter looked extremely frail, but he sat back in his lounge chair with an air of calm indifference.

It wasn't long before he took a satellite phone call, after which he posted a flyer on a pillar nearby.

The people in the tavern immediately became agitated, crowding around to see.

It seemed to be an assassination order with a reward of one thousand taels of gold.

"Damn, Ma Jinhong! That guy is a traitor from the Childe Family, and rumor has it, his skills are extraordinary. Catching him is not gonna be easy."

"For someone of his caliber, the bounty is only one thousand taels of gold? Who would be willing to take that on?"

"Boss, if you raise the reward to two thousand taels of gold, I'll take the job."

...

The crowd seemed very reluctant; Ma Jinhong's notoriety was well-known, and taking him down would be no easy task.

The bounty was indeed too little.

Chen Yu drained his glass of wine and slammed the table hard.

"I, however, have a task here, and I wonder if anyone would be interested?"

With those words, the people around him quickly gathered closer.

All outlaws, they relied on such jobs to survive. As long as the price was right, they would not spare even their own mothers.

"Young brother, our rates are not cheap. Who do you want to kill?"

Chen Yu looked up at the speaker and laid out the Xuanqing Sect's Sect Master's token.

Everyone present froze, well aware of the kind of existence the Xuanqing Sect was.

Although this place was situated in the far northern lands, they heard news of the Xuanqing Sect daily.

Upon seeing the token, someone took out a tablet and started comparing it with Chen Yu.

Soon, a look of surprise appeared on everyone's faces.

"It turns out to be the newly-appointed Sect Leader! However, the Xuanqing Sect wouldn't need to come all the way here to issue a task, would it?"

Chen Yu casually poured himself another glass of wine.

"What I'm here for is not just to issue a task but to redeem you!"

Interest piqued, a couple of them even sat down next to Chen Yu.

"Mr. Chen, what do you mean by that?"

Chen Yu didn't beat around the bush and took out a bundle from his person, revealing a handful of bronze rings.

"The Xuanqing Sect is about to establish a new outer sect, and anyone in this world can join this outer sect after passing an assessment, becoming a member of our Xuanqing Sect! This bronze ring is the token of faith."

The room fell silent at once, everyone's gaze fixed on the bronze rings.

If nothing unexpected happened, these people would live the rest of their lives in exile, barely scraping by as assassins.

If they could join the Xuanqing Sect, they would have a formal identity, no longer needing to live these messy, chaotic lives.
