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

Chen Yu chuckled twice, grabbing Ino's hand and pressing it onto the table.

"Mr. Ino, we had just agreed that whoever won could make a demand, and even if you want to play again, we still need to discuss the terms of this round."

Ino appeared somewhat bewildered, "What do you want?"

Chen Yu collected both stones, regarding them as priceless treasures no matter where they were placed.

"The Lakato Family has been a vassal to William's family for centuries, in my opinion, you should stop wandering outside and return to serve under William's family starting from today."n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ino rose up furiously, standing up abruptly.

"What are you implying? Our ancestors went through immense struggles to escape from here, and now you're asking me to return, which is clearly sending us back into the suffering of centuries ago."

Chen Yu appeared indifferent.

"We have already agreed, and my condition is this, irrevocable unless you kill me right now."

Ino clenched his teeth but didn't dare make any sudden moves.

Chen Yu was a member of the Knights of the Round Table, and Ino still didn't understand the exact relationship between William's family and the Knights of the Round Table. If he acted rashly today and the Knights decided to settle the score later, the Lakato Family wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.

"Our family also has its bottom line, and we absolutely cannot agree to this condition. Please propose another."

A sly smile pulled at the corners of Chen Yu's mouth. He wasn't insistent but lifted another stone from the pile.

"How about this? Let's have another round. If you lose again, you agree to my earlier condition."

Ino agreed without a second thought.

"If I win, you must withdraw that condition, and I get to propose another."

"Sure!" Chen Yu agreed promptly.

Without hesitation, Ino stepped forward and picked out a stone.

However, as he was selecting, a few elders beside him kept making meaningful glances at him.

It seemed the stone he chose was arguably the finest one in the lot.

Chen Yu said nothing, simply summoning a professional to split the stone.

The hall fell silent in an instant, everyone's gaze concentrated on the two men. Their competition would determine the fate of the William and Lakato Families.

Many hearts raced, anticipating the final outcome.

The half-hour wait was agonizing, with Victor seated there, sweating profusely, even the red wine in his hand no longer appealing.

When the two stones were laid out on the table again, the atmosphere at the scene ignited.

This time, Chen Yu's stone revealed eight colors.

While Ino's had merely six.

Who won and who lost was clear at a glance!

Ino's mouth hung open, his face filled with disbelief. He could never have dreamed of such a result.

Within the Lakato Family, any stone that revealed seven colors would be revered as a divine stone and enshrined.

The person who uncovered such a stone would also gain an exceedingly high status within the family, even potentially being appointed as the next family head.

"Impossible, this simply can't be! Did you use some special method to discern the inner structure of the stones?"

Everyone present knew that although desert jade appeared crystal clear on the outside, its internal structure couldn't be seen from the exterior.

Ino's behavior was completely irrational and obnoxious.

Chen Yu just laughed, not saying a word; indeed, he had seen through the internal structure of the stone, but even if he said so, no one would believe him.

"Mr. Ino, we had just reached an agreement, and everyone present can attest to it. I hope you will honor our recent deal."

Ino became furious with embarrassment. If he actually did what was agreed, he would become a traitor to the entire Lakato family.

"It must be that you've used some inhuman means; I'm done playing this game with you. Someone, kill everyone here for me."

However, as soon as he gave the order, a blue-white light started flashing on the scene.

All the people from the Lakato family twitched as if they were electrocuted, even those hiding in the shadows fell down, shocked to the ground.

In the end, only Ino was left standing.

Chen Yu approached Ino nonchalantly and placed his hand on Ino's shoulder.

"The Lakato family is nothing but a second-rate clan not worth mentioning in my eyes. I didn't expect you to be so arrogant. Since that's the case, don't blame me for being rude."

Chen Yu's eyes were cold, and he slowly applied pressure on his hand, the sound of breaking bones crackling loudly.

Ino endured the excruciating pain, "What exactly do you want?"

Chen Yu leaned in close to his face, "I don't want much, just for you to keep your promise."

Ino's breathing became rapid; at this point, he didn't know what to do. Your journey continues at empire

"You're forcing me!"

"So what if I am?" Chen Yu's face showed a hint of inexplicable excitement, "Some things come with a cost."

The blue-white light suddenly flashed, and Ino fainted.

Victor hurried over to Chen Yu's side.

Although he didn't understand how Chen Yu managed to electrocute so many people at once, he didn't ask any questions.

"Young man, what should we do now? So many people from the Lakato family are unconscious in the manor. They will definitely send someone to look for them."

Chen Yu looked indifferent, "There are simply too many super organizations in this world. If we don't eliminate one or two, the world seems overly chaotic."

Victor immediately understood Chen Yu's intent. He didn't say anything else, only ordering his subordinates to contact the members of William's family to come for a meeting at the castle; those who didn't show up were to be expelled from the family.

Several elders responded heavily and went to make the calls.

With Chen Yu here, they felt an endless surge of confidence.

There was an old castle in the southern part of Frankfurt, long abandoned.

This place was designated as a natural reserve by the authorities, usually off-limits, yet today, for some reason, it was crowded with people.

Snow stood on the mountaintop, looking at the people before him.

"Those guys have gone too far, killing so many of us, especially that Chen Yu who agreed to an alliance and then ran off partway! We can't let them off; notify all of the Lakato Family to carry out a comprehensive hunt for that man immediately."

The people there looked at one another, none daring to issue the order.

After all, Chen Yu was one of the Knights of the Round Table. If they sent out this order, it would be tantamount to declaring war on the Knights of the Round Table.

At that time, it would be outright hostility between the two sides.

Moreover, other organizations might take advantage of the situation to kick the Lakato Family while they were down, completely dividing them up.
