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

The modified vehicle could take everything here away, but the fuel consumption was huge.

With less than thirty kilometers left to Mount Augustus, the fuel on board was almost depleted.

Just then, a vast convoy chased up from behind.

"Where the hell did you come from, kid? We've been watching the Buddhist grottoes for so long, and you just swooped in."

Chen Yu's brow furrowed tightly, the guy in front of him seemed to be from a different group than the Elos Clan.

It looked like they weren't the only ones after the Buddha's bone relics.

The old monk was also getting scared and hurriedly crowded next to Chen Yu.

"Young man, this guy is even more vicious than the Elos Clan. Should we avoid him for now?"

The fact that a monk would say such a thing showed just how terrifying the opponent was.

Chen Yu didn't say much and went straight over.

After the convoy stopped, a dozen men walked over quite arrogantly.

"Kid, hand over those monks and everything on the vehicle immediately, or else..."

Chen Yu's figure flickered, and he was instantly beside the lead man, slapping his face.

A flash of blue and white light illuminated briefly, and several big men around them dropped to the ground.

Before the others could react, he walked over to the supply vehicle and took down two barrels of gasoline.

The rest were frightened, staring at Chen Yu with dull eyes.

The old monk was also stunned by the scene, having no idea how Chen Yu had managed to knock these guys down in an instant.

"Master, we should be going now!"

With a shout from Chen Yu, he filled up with gasoline and without another look at the dazed bunch, he drove away.

Desert nights come very late, and by the time Chen Yu neared Mount Augustus, it was already dark.

However, the town at the foot of the holy mountain was still bustling.

The masked old man and Jin Lingsu hurried out to meet him.

The old monk was very excited to see the masked old man as well; the two seemed to have met a long time ago.

Chen Yu didn't disturb them and just found a small restaurant in the town with Jin Lingsu to sit down.

"Since we've almost finished our business here, we should visit William's family and take care of things there."

Jin Lingsu nodded, though the place was nice and exotic, she didn't want to stay here forever.

Besides, the so-called delicacies here can become tiring after a while.

"Then let's set off early tomorrow. I've also modified a motorhome here, so we can take more things with us when we leave."

Chen Yu was somewhat helpless; it seemed that Jin Lingsu had plundered quite a few treasures in this place.

It wasn't long before the masked old man came looking for him in a rush.

"Mr. Chen, I really can't thank you enough. We've asked the master to come several times before, and he was reluctant, but you went just once and transported all the Buddhist scriptures here. Now we no longer have to worry about these things being robbed."

"It's just what I happened to be doing!" Chen Yu responded with a smile.

The masked old man didn't think so and quickly took a bill out of his pocket, handing it to Chen Yu.

"This is a gold bill that can be exchanged at any bank in the world. Consider it a token of my gratitude."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chen Yu glanced at the amount on the bill and his eyes widened instantly—it was a bill for five tons of gold.

He didn't put on any airs and simply tucked the bill away.

The masked old man looked around before leaning in close to Chen Yu.

"Recently, a lot of people from other forces have infiltrated this place. If Mr. Chen doesn't have any urgent business, I suggest you leave here soon to avoid any trouble."

Chen Yu had already sensed many unusual presences when he arrived.

Spies from the top organizations of the major worlds had all been dispatched here.

Previously, the scattered Lakato Family was not a threat, but now that the entire family had united, their power could even rival that of the Knights of the Round Table.

If others knew that all of this was Chen Yu's doing, they would likely join forces against him.

Chen Yu certainly understood the masked old man's implication and didn't say much, merely nodding his head.

After discussing a few more details, the masked old man hurriedly left.

After Chen Yu and Jin Lingsu finished their meal, they immediately found their RV and left Mount Augustus.

William's family manor.

Victor sat in the seat of honor, staring intently at Snow and Ino standing below.

These two had been locked up in the manor for quite some time, yet to date, they still exhibited an unyielding attitude. In their view, William's family had only managed to capture them by relying on Chen Yu, and they were unwilling to submit.

"Gentlemen, although your people have all been detained, I haven't mistreated them, ensuring they've been well fed and taken care of. If you continue to be obstinate, don't blame me for not being courteous."

Victor's words were laced with threats and warnings, but unexpectedly, the two brothers lie down on the ground outright.

Snow snorted coldly, "If that's the case, then let's not waste words. I want to see just what you, an old man, can really do."

Victor's brow furrowed; he hadn't expected these two to act so shamelessly here.

Just as he prepared to persuade them further, a middle-aged man surrounded by several bodyguards walked in.

"Mr. Victor, treating people from the Lakato Family like this seems inappropriate. Why don't you let me take them away?"

The middle-aged man took out a token from his person.

Victor was stunned on the spot—that token was a Token of the Knights of the Round Table.

He hurriedly stood up to welcome the man.

"Sir, it was Mr. Chen Yu of the Knights of the Round Table who locked them up here. If you want me to release people, I can only wait for Mr. Chen to return."

The middle-aged man, however, didn't care for that and went straight over to Snow and Ino, intending to set them free.

Victor grew anxious; he didn't know what kind of background these two had and didn't dare to get tough with them.

He immediately got someone to call Chen Yu.

Just as the middle-aged man was about to take the two away, Chen Yu and Jin Lingsu strode into the hall.

"Where are you from? Who gave you the permission to come here and take people away?"

Chen Yu's expression was icy as he stepped forward and grabbed the middle-aged man's shoulder.

The man was taken aback upon seeing Chen Yu and hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Mr. Chen, I am here under the orders of Lord Fox. I do hope you can grant me this convenience."

Chen Yu looked utterly indifferent, simply pushing the middle-aged man aside.

"Carrying a forged token and daring to use Lord Fox's name, I think you're tired of living."
