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

"Little brother!"

Fox ran over excitedly from the side and hugged Chen Yu tightly.

"We haven't seen each other for so long, what have you been busy with? You've lost weight!"

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow, he didn't believe for a second that this old fox hadn't arranged for someone to investigate his whereabouts.

He probably even knew about him becoming the Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Sect.

But the old man just loved to feign ignorance, he looked around and then took two steps toward the dock.

"Wasn't it said that the revered Sect Leader from Xuanqing Sect would also land here? How come I haven't seen him? Could my people have made a mistake?"

Chen Yu directly took out the specially made invitation and handed it over to Fox.

"Old sir, there's no need to look any further, I'm the new Sect Leader of Xuanqing Sect!"

Fox pretended to be surprised.

"Oh my, you really bring glory to us Knights of the Round Table, to think that you've really become the Sect Leader of Xuanqing Sect!" Discover stories with My Virtual Library Empire

He reached out and gripped Chen Yu's shoulder, enthusiastically guiding him into the venue nearby.

The place was extremely spacious, with people from many world-class organizations arriving there, discussing various business affairs with each other.

Suddenly, Chen Yu spotted Jin Lingsu in the crowd.

She was probably representing the Lakato Family, surrounded by several people dressed like wizards.

Jin Lingsu also saw Chen Yu and immediately came over with her wine glass.

"I've been looking for you for ages, wasn't it said that the banquet was hosted by the Knights of the Round Table? Why didn't you arrive earlier?"

Chen Yu chuckled lightly, "Today, I'm not here on behalf of the Knights of the Round Table, but as the representative of Xuanqing Sect!"

Jin Lingsu seemed surprised; she often mingled among various organizations and was aware of some of their strange rules.

For example, when participating in any banquet, the Sect Leader of Xuanqing Sect would always attend alone.

If Chen Yu was here on behalf of Xuanqing Sect, then it proved that he had indeed become the Sect Leader.

Immediately, Jin Lingsu's eyes turned complex, filled much more with killing intent.

It wasn't directed at Chen Yu, but rather at Fox standing next to him.

"Mr. Fox, Chen and I go way back. Could you give us some privacy?"

The threat in her voice surprised Fox.

Though he represented the Knights of the Round Table, behind Jin Lingsu stood the wizards of the Lakato Family.

Ever since the Lakato Family had really unified, their potential had far exceeded that of the Knights of the Round Table.

In some ways, they even overshadowed the Knights of the Round Table.

Fox immediately released Chen Yu's shoulder and stepped back.

"Of course! Oh, by the way, there will be an appraisal event happening over there later; if you're interested, you might want to check it out."

Fox's face was filled with smiles, but as he turned around, his expression became laced with murderous intent.

Chen Yu shrugged, "You're now bold enough to confront the Knights of the Round Table!"

Jin Lingsu took out a badge from her person.

"I'm now an honorary wizard of the Lakato Family, eligible to compete for the title of 'Elder of the Mountains'."

Chen Yu was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected Jin Lingsu to climb so high in the ranks of the Lakato Family after such a long time apart.

While they were talking, two young men surreptitiously passed by, each of them hiding a giant glass container in their arms.

Inside was a palm-sized Blood Gemstone.

"Stop!" Jin Lingsu directly intercepted the two men, "Whose subordinates are you? Where did this gemstone come from?"

The two were startled and hurriedly took out the gemstone.

"We just thought the gemstone was beautiful and wanted to take it back, that's all."

Jin Lingsu's brows furrowed slightly, a gemstone of this quality would be worth at least five hundred million on the market.

She was about to speak when the security personnel outside hurried in, took control of the two men, and confiscated the gemstone.

Everything seemed fine, but Chen Yu always felt that something was amiss.

When he first saw the gemstone, he noticed a strange protective film on its surface, meaning the gemstone was likely fake.

Jin Lingsu, with her chin in her hand, walked over to Chen Yu, "Why do I feel like there is a problem here?"

Chen Yu directly extended the system's coverage to scan the brain information of the two young men they just encountered.

However, to his surprise, the magnetic field was so strong that it interfered with the system's analysis.

As he felt helpless, several bells suddenly rang nearby.

The crowd that had been chatting in the hall immediately stood up and moved to the adjoining room.

Chen Yu and Jin Lingsu followed them.

When they entered, they were immediately stunned by what they saw.

The place was embedded with all kinds of gemstones, each cut with extreme precision.

Gathering all the world's gemstones together probably wouldn't yield so many of uniformly equal size.

While everyone marveled, Fox suddenly appeared on the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen, are you dazzled by our gemstones?"

After stoking the atmosphere a bit, he picked up a palm-sized gemstone from the table.

"This is a gemstone that we, the Knights of the Round Table, have just developed. As everyone suspects, it is counterfeit! But I guarantee that even the top jewelry experts wouldn't be able to discern its authenticity."

Chen Yu stood there, stunned; in that moment, he understood everything.

Perhaps this so-called banquet was not just a gathering but an attempt to unite all organizations, establish rules, and then divide the world's riches.

The biggest scam in the world is the diamond scam, where a few Western families hold all of the world's diamond mines in their hands and then create fake news to drive up diamond prices.

With such a simple trick, they have deceived humanity for a whole century.

Now, Fox wanted to upgrade this scam.

In today's world, people are aware of the diamond scam, causing sales of diamonds to plummet.

However, the prices for colored gemstones remain strong.

These items are rare treasures produced by the earth's crust over millions of years.

Just one appearance can command a starting price of several hundred million!

If today's meeting is successful, Fox will mass-produce these colored gemstones and flood the market with them to harvest wealth.

Considering this, the corners of Chen Yu's mouth turned up in a cold smile.

All members of the Knights of the Round Table were among the world's top affluent families; they already possessed incomparable wealth, and yet they were here scheming to make money with no bottom line.

Fox was now incessantly expounding on the future commercial plans for gemstones from the stage.

Members of some organizations immediately signed contracts.
