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

With a sense of resignation, Chen Yu heaved a sigh. He didn't want to participate in this kind of gathering, but he couldn't stop it; he had no choice but to turn around and leave the venue.

"Mr. Chen, please wait!"

Fox suddenly shouted and, holding two gemstones, hurriedly approached Chen Yu.

"Mr. Chen, you are an expert in gemstone appraisal. I have two gemstones here, one is real and one is fake. Can you tell any differences?"

Chen Yu lifted his finger, pointing to the one on the left.

"Actually, synthetic gemstones still have many flaws. If Mr. Fox plans to put such gemstones into the market in large quantities, I'm afraid there will be problems."

Fox didn't care about that. He just chuckled twice and returned to the podium.

"Ladies and gentlemen, don't be surprised. This Mr. Chen is not only a member of the Knights of the Round Table but also the newly appointed Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Sect! It's not surprising that he could spot the difference, but I can assure you..."

Chen Yu didn't want to listen to this guy's nonsense and turned to leave the hall.

Just then, a middle-aged man with a somewhat strange appearance, along with several others, entered the venue with a domineering attitude.

As soon as he came in, he locked his eyes on Chen Yu.

"Are you Chen Yu, Mr. Chen?"

Chen Yu frowned slightly, "Yes, I am. And you are?"

The man took out something resembling a compass from his person.

"I am Luo Qing, the young master of the Luo Hai Organization! We met before in the Dongming Gorge, but at that time, Mr. Chen may not have thought much of me."

Chen Yu wasn't surprised. Back in Dongming Gorge, his system was restricted, and he couldn't fully utilize his power. It was quite normal that he hadn't seen this guy.

"Is there something you need?"

Chen Yu asked with a smile, but his eyes were already more vigilant.

"Nothing in particular. I just heard that Mr. Chen is particularly lucky, so I thought I'd gamble on luck with you."

Luo Qing directly had his subordinates bring over two tables and then scattered some cards on the tables.

The compass in his hand was placed on the southeast corner of one table.

After joining the Xuanqing Sect, Chen Yu had gained an understanding of matters related to luck. This guy placed the compass in the southeast corner to gather luck for himself, which could increase his fortune.

Chen Yu scoffed at these little tricks; they were nothing to him. As the Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Sect, he was the locus of the energy of heaven and earth.

"Then tell me, how do you want to gamble on luck with me?"

Chen Yu's words were tinged with mockery. Although his system was affected by magnetic interference, it could still be used at such close range.

Luo Qing chuckled softly. Stay connected through My Virtual Library Empire

"These playing cards have all been specially treated. They won't retain fingerprints nor leave any trace! Mr. Chen can pick any card he likes. If the number on the card you pick is higher than mine, then I'll consider myself the loser."

Chen Yu's eyes became even more wary.

He had heard of the Luo Hai Organization, a purely family-based enterprise ranked sixth among major organizations.

These guys were unscrupulous in their dealings and were notorious for being ruthless and cunning. Each member of the family was known for their sneaky and dangerous reputation.

Luo Qing suddenly seeking him out was definitely not just for a simple card game.

"Young Master Luo, this game seems too simple. Surely there must be some condition, right?"

Chen Yu had already scanned all the cards in front of him, ensuring there was nothing wrong with them.

However, Luo Qing wore a Bluetooth earpiece on his ear, which seemed to emit some kind of electric current, shielding him from the system's probe.

"Of course, there are conditions!" Luo Qing's mouth curled into a strange arc, "I've heard that Mr. Chen has become the Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Sect, and I want that Water Spirit Pearl!"

Chen Yu's pupils suddenly dilated, as the Water Spirit Pearl was a supreme gemstone within the Xuanqing Sect.

Although it didn't have much use, it was a symbol of the sect.

This family wanted to take that thing away as soon as they arrived; it seemed they wanted to strike at the Xuanqing Sect.

"Young Master Luo has quite the audacity, but to win that bead from my hands, I'm afraid you might not have the capability," Chen Yu retorted.

Luo Qing burst into a hearty laugh, "Whether I have the ability or not can be set aside for now, today I just want to see how powerful the new Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Sect really is?"

As he spoke, he took out a blood-red bead from his bosom and placed it on the table.

"This is my stake, I hope Mr. Chen will give me an opportunity."

Chen Yu immediately sat down, raised his hand, and casually drew a playing card.

Luo Qing closed his eyes, mumbling a bunch of gibberish, and then drew a card as well.

Chen Yu didn't care about that and flipped his card over directly.

When Luo Qing saw the number on the card in Chen Yu's hand, he was instantly stunned. He had used all the tricks he could, yet he still couldn't beat Chen Yu.

"Mr. Chen, I should accept my loss according to the rules, and hand over the bead to you! But I'm afraid I'll have to go back on my word today," Luo Qing suddenly stood up, smashed the bead in his hand fiercely, then sprawled onto the ground.

"Violence! The Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Sect is unreasonable!"

Chen Yu's mouth fell open in astonishment; he never dreamed this guy would resort to such shameless tactics. Even Jin Lingsu beside him was dumbstruck.

The people from the adjacent hall participating in the gemstone planning were also attracted by the noise here and ran over.

When they saw the scene before them, they were immediately stunned.

The young master of the Luo Hai family had always been arrogant and domineering, but today he lay on the ground like a hooligan.

When they saw Chen Yu, they understood.

A member of the Knights of the Round Table, an honored guest of the Lakato Family, and now also the Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Sect.

Any of these identities alone were of the highest esteem; Luo Qing was in no position to compare.

Fox, too, hurriedly rushed out.

"Mr. Chen, Young Master Luo, what exactly is going on here?"

Luo Qing, as if grasping at a lifeline, clung to Fox's legs.

"Fox, you must seek justice for me! Mr. Chen, taking advantage of his exalted status, has beaten me up! I was only playing cards with him, thinking of taking the Xuanqing Sect's Water Spirit Pearl, but he smashed our family's Treasure Bead and said I was unworthy to play with him."

This pitiful appearance arouse sympathy in everyone present, even Fox could not help but be moved.

In his impression, Chen Yu was not such an overbearing person!

"You are talking utter nonsense!" Jin Lingsu immediately stepped forward, "It was you who came out of nowhere wanting to play cards, and now that you've lost, you're lying on the ground playing the rogue."

The crowd on the scene didn't know what to do, as both sides held their ground with reasonable arguments.

However, on the face of it, Luo Qing did seem more pitiable, with the heirloom Treasure Bead of the Luo Hai organization already shattered beside him.
