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

Cardelan was actually clear about it; the experiment was designed solely to satisfy Fox's private desires and was never meant to be replicated.

Moreover, the conditions necessary to achieve the experiment were so costly.

There weren't many people in the world who, like Fox, could bring out so many resources for Cardelan to squander.

Furthermore, the powers extracted during the experiment were too dangerous, and countless people had died in order to obtain them.

Now, by handing over the experimental data, she was indicating to Chen Yu that she would never conduct such experiments again.

Chen Yu simply laughed and pushed the notebook back to her.

"This is what you've worked so hard to research. I'm not entitled to keep it, rest assured, I'll continue to support your experiments, but some aspects need to be modified. It would be best if they could benefit humanity."

Cardelan nodded firmly; in fact, during the experiment, she had discovered an extremely clean and sustainable power resource, which, if promoted, could allow a large city to not worry about electricity for ten years with very little energy.

"Mr. Chen, rest assured, I will certainly not let you down."

Chen Yu didn't say much, sent a message to the people of the Xuanqing Sect, and then took Cardelan and left the place.

Before coming to Clerland Island, Chen Yu had already foreseen a lot of danger, so he didn't bring anyone with him.

Now that all the dangers had been eliminated, it was time to take all the guys from here away.

In a grand hall at the foot of Sacred Mountain.

A dozen people dressed in strange attire sat there, their facial expressions extremely gloomy.

"I never expected the Heavenly Master Long Tian would find such an excellent successor who would wipe out the Knights of the Round Table right off the bat."

"This youngster is a bit too much. Without our consent, he dares to meddle in mortal affairs; he's clearly disrupting the balance of the world."

"I heard he changed the rules of the Xuanqing Sect and built an external gateway at the foot of Tianhu Mountain, allowing the secular people to run amok."

"It's time to teach this kid some rules, otherwise, he won't realize that he's one of the Daoists."

"Don't worry, I've already sent out the invitations. He will surely come to the great council meeting of Sacred Mountain in a few days."

…

The person sitting in the seat of honor suddenly stood up, took out a transparent bead the size of a human head.

The brilliant light that emanated from it instantly illuminated the entire hall.

"Heavenly Master Long Tian is one of us with the deepest knowledge of Daoist teachings; he wouldn't carelessly choose a successor. I believe this youngster must have something extraordinary about him; everyone, let's not act rashly."

The room immediately fell silent, everyone looking at the person on the seat of honor with a gaze full of respect.

Yet one middle-aged man's face was filled with discontent.

After the meeting ended, he left the hall furiously and headed to a temporary airfield.

"Heavenly Master Luo, the council meeting at Sacred Mountain is about to begin; where are you heading?"

Heavenly Master Luo turned his head and saw a Daoist Boy sweeping the floor not far from where he was.

His countenance immediately softened.

"There are still some affairs to take care of in my Daoist temple. I'll be back soon."

He dismissed the boy perfunctorily and boarded the helicopter.

Imperial Capital, Nanfeng Square.

Tong Ya, along with Tuan Tuan each holding a cup of milk tea, was walking cheerfully down the street.

Tong Ya had been busy with the affairs of the Knights of the Round Table's assets and didn't have time to properly accompany Tuan Tuan. Today, finally having a chance, she took the little girl out for some fun.

"Mommy, it seems like Dad hasn't come back to visit us for a long time. Is he really that busy?"

Tong Ya gently stroked Tuan Tuan's little head.

"Of course, Tuan Tuan, you must always believe in Daddy – he is always working hard for our future."

Tuan Tuan nodded vigorously and then took a big gulp of her milk tea.

Just at that moment, a car suddenly stopped in front of the two of them. Before they could react, two burly men rushed out, grabbed them, and shoved them into the vehicle.

Not far away, the bodyguard secretly in charge of protecting Tuan Tuan and Tong Ya was frightened out of his wits and hurried over.

But the kidnappers moved so quickly that by the time they arrived, the van had vanished without a trace.

"Miss Tong, we mean no harm!" a ferocious-looking man pressed a knife to Tong Ya's neck, "We just want to invite Mr. Chen out to discuss some matters; you'll have to trouble yourself to give him a call!"

Tong Ya held Tuan Tuan in her arms, her expression exceedingly calm.

"Who are you?"

The heiress's overbearing demeanor scared the kidnappers; even the fierce-looking man couldn't help but swallow hard.

"Miss Tong, don't worry about who we are. Just call Mr. Chen immediately and have him come to Pier 12 to save you!"

Tong Ya was no easy prey; her gaze was icy cold.

"If you don't tell me who you are, I'm not calling my husband over!"

"That's right!" Tuan Tuan also looked defiantly brave, "Kidnapping us and not even daring to reveal your identities? Dreaming if you think my dad will come!"

The group of burly men were momentarily stunned; they hadn't expected the mother and daughter to be so tough.

The stalemate continued for an indeterminable period until the car finally stopped, and a man wearing a mask opened the car door.

Tong Ya was very cautious, gripping Tuan Tuan tightly in her arms, her eyes ferociously glaring at the masked man.

"Miss Tong, it is indeed a great fortune to see you. Please come inside. I have some matters I'd like to discuss with you in detail."

Tong Ya made no move to get out of the car.

"I'll say it again, if you don't tell me who you are, there's nothing to talk about!"

The masked man paused, evidently not expecting Tong Ya to be so difficult.

"Miss Tong, I hope you understand that you are now my hostage, and if I am displeased, I can kill you at any moment! Miss Tong might not fear death, but don't you care about your daughter's life?"

Tuan Tuan immediately pouted, displaying a dignified yet unbowed demeanor.

"Mommy isn't afraid, and I'm not either! If you have the guts, just kill us."

The masked man visibly trembled; he hadn't expected this outcome either.

Clenching his teeth, he took out a knife and placed it in front of Tuan Tuan.

"Little girl, you might not be afraid of death, but your mommy is very afraid of you dying."

Though the words were directed at Tuan Tuan, it was a threat aimed at Tong Ya.

"Stop scaring the child!" Tong Ya hugged Tuan Tuan tighter: "You're kidnapping us for money, just name your price. As long as I can afford it, I will pay!"

The masked man chuckled, "We aren't here for the money, we have something we need to clear up with Mr. Chen!"
