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

Wu Chen had two great loves in his life, one was gourmet food, and the other was gaming.

He came from a highly noble birth, his ancestors once traded in the South Seas, and the wealth they accumulated was enough to rival countries.

When the Knights of the Round Table were updating, they had invited his family multiple times. However, due to cultural reasons, the Wu Family had never agreed.

It wasn't until Wu Chen's generation that, due to some practical considerations, he agreed to join the Knights of the Round Table.

But what he hadn't expected was that the Knights of the Round Table were incredibly corrupt, always getting involved in all sorts of unsavory dealings.

They even tried to limit Wu Chen's hobbies.

What was even more excessive was that they demanded Wu Chen to dedicate all of the Wu Family's assets unconditionally to the Knights of the Round Table.

In plain terms, they wanted to swallow up the priceless assets in this manner, then kick Wu Chen out afterward.

It was because he saw through this that Wu Chen resolutely left the Knights of the Round Table.

From then on, he faced the ceaseless assassination attempts by the Knights of the Round Table.

Luckily, the wealth and power in his hands were enough to help him dominate a region, thus he established a kingdom on this small island.

In the beginning, the island was rather prosperous, and various powers and organizations would come to visit from time to time.

But to have become so desolate now shows how Wu Chen had been living over the years.

After finishing the meal, Chen Yu went with Wu Chen to a hall next door.

This place had all sorts of entertainment facilities available that Chen Yu found somewhat dazzling to look at.

Wu Chen didn't say much and went straight to the billiards table beside them.

"You know I'm obsessed with all sorts of games, and billiards is one of my favorites. If you can beat me at this, whatever you say goes!"

Chen Yu raised his eyebrows. He had been a good student since childhood and had no interest in many entertainment activities.

Especially something like billiards, which he had never even touched.

After a moment of adjusting his breathing, he let the system search for all the rules and techniques of billiards.

As soon as all this information was in his brain, he stepped forward and picked up a cue stick.

"Mr. Wu, are we playing a single game for the outcome, or best two out of three?"

As Chen Yu spoke, he deliberately brought some provocation into his tone, instantly arousing Wu Chen's competitive spirit.

"Best two out of three? How boring, of course, it's a single game for the outcome."

Wu Chen said magnanimously and then took a seat to the side, cue stick in hand.

"Guests first, you break."

Chen Yu coughed twice and then picked up the cue stick to deliver a fierce strike.

The force generated by the cue ball was tremendous, and the power that erupted seemed deliberately controlled.

All the balls scattered in every direction upon the cue ball's impact.

Before Wu Chen could react, all of the balls had dropped into the pockets.

Wu Chen's mouth hung open in shock. Although he could perform this trick, he could only succeed once in ten attempts.

"Mr. Wu, I assure you, my playing method is the fastest in the world, and even you can't surpass it! Isn't it time to honor the promise you made earlier?"

Wu Chen finally came to his senses, tossing the cue stick he held to the side.

"It doesn't count! It doesn't count! As the Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Sect, you must be familiar with the Yin Yang Technique. You must have used some supernatural powers while playing just now. Let's switch to a more ordinary game."

Chen Yu's head was filled with black lines as the guy shamelessly came up with such a far-fetched excuse.

"Since Mr. Wu put it that way, let's switch to a different game!"

Wu Chen immediately breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and found a power tester.

This device had been specially modified and was tens of thousands of times stronger than a normal tester.

Wu Chen walked over excitedly, then turned his head and sized up Chen Yu from top to bottom.

Their physiques were entirely disproportionate, with Chen Yu looking as frail as a chick, seemingly incapable of trussing up a chicken. Explore more stories with My Virtual Library Empire

On the other hand, Wu Chen was all sinew and muscle, with an exoskeleton device on his arm, potent enough to kill two elephants with a single punch.

"Mr. Chen, since you're the Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Sect, you must have some skills. Let's play with this tester—whichever one of us gets the higher value wins, how about that?"

Chen Yu coughed twice; this guy was indeed shamelessly excessive.

He said nothing more but made a 'please go ahead' gesture.

Wu Chen chuckled twice, activated the exoskeleton device on his arm, and then punched down hard.

The numbers on the machine instantly maxed out, emitting a gentle sound, about to break under the force.

Wu Chen looked at the numbers with satisfaction, then finally stared at Chen Yu with a disdainful look.

"Mr. Chen, there aren't many in this world who can reach my numbers. You don't have to force yourself; conceding is fine, and I won't blame you. As for our collaboration, we can discuss it further."

Chen Yu's mouth curled into a sly smile; he flashed forward to the machine and threw a light punch.

The numbers on the machine sped up like mad, quickly hitting peak value.

The next moment, the modified super machine actually exploded on the spot.

That proved Chen Yu's punch was at least five times more powerful than Wu Chen's.

Wu Chen's eyes were wide with incredulity as he couldn't believe such a frail-looking man could possess such incredible strength.

"Mr. Wu, to be honest, all this is child's play. Can we perhaps play something more suited for adults?"

Wu Chen took a deep breath and moved a chair over to sit down.

"Mr. Chen, I won't hide it from you, my biggest wish in life is to live alone in a secluded place and live out my days in peace! Even joining the Knights of the Round Table had its reasons. Now you're asking me to join you in annihilating them, I really don't want to go."

Chen Yu sighed lightly, not knowing how to persuade him.

Although Wu Chen seemed childish, what he yearned for was a state of desirelessness.

Nevertheless, to contend against the Knights of the Round Table, Wu Chen's strength was indispensable.

"Mr. Wu, I happen to have a solution. If you're willing to help out, I could set aside a manor just for you at the foot of Tianhu Mountain in the Xuanqing Sect. How does that sound?"

Wu Chen's eyes lit up, his face full of astonishment.

To everyone in the Xuanqing Sect, Tianhu Mountain was a sacred place, unreachable by mere mortals in their entire lives.

Now, Chen Yu was actually offering to set up an estate for him there.

"Mr. Chen, are you serious?"

Chen Yu nodded: "Would I, the Sect Leader, go back on my word?"

Wu Chen immediately became extremely excited and pulled out a token from his possession, stuffing it into Chen Yu's hand.

"This is the Token of the Wu Family. From now on, you can command my people as you see fit."
