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

Chen Yu was startled, instinctively stepping back several paces.

Jin Lingsu even drew out her golden spike, ready for action.

Chen Yu hastily blocked her, sensing that these wild people bore them no ill will; it was just their sudden appearance that had made the others tense.

Sure enough, a rather robust man emerged from the crowd, approaching Chen Yu with a simple wooden spear waved in his hand.

"Who are you? Where do you come from? What are you doing here?"

A barrage of questions left Chen Yu somewhat bemused, as if this man were looking for a criminal.

"Why waste words with them? There's equipment on the plane; we might as well just finish them off."

Jin Lingsu became impatient, about to act without thinking.

Chen Yu, somewhat helpless, quickly pulled Jin Lingsu back and then approached the man.

"Excuse me, is this the territory of the Milore Family?

The man first froze, then stared at Chen Yu with a strange gaze, and the wild people around him began to draw closer, a mysterious hatred appearing in their eyes.

"Are you from the Milore Family?"

Chen Yu's face was full of frustration—shouldn't he be the one asking that question?

Just as he was about to speak, a helicopter suddenly appeared nearby. A massive amount of explosives fell from the aircraft, blasting numerous holes into the ice field.

The wild people who initially had not helped became like soldiers facing an enemy, running in all directions, and a few accidentally fell into the ice holes.

Chen Yu furrowed his brow; he had just arrived and was still unclear about the situation. Moreover, the magnetic field here was too chaotic for the system to function.

Under such circumstances, he could not simply watch as those wild people drowned alive in the ice holes.

Without further thought, he jumped into one of the ice holes. Relying on his exceptional physical fitness, he began to toss the people who had fallen in back onto solid ground, one after another.

The leading man was stunned; he simply could not discern whether Chen Yu was friend or foe.

After a moment's hesitation, the man waved at Chen Yu.

"Quick, come over here!"

Chen Yu, without hesitation and breathing heavily, followed with Jin Lingsu in tow.

It wasn't long before the group arrived at a cave that seemed very well-hidden.

This place appeared to be in a visual blind spot, and after circling above in the sky, the helicopter left.

Chen Yu had just heaved a sigh of relief when the man who had spoken earlier once again pressed the wooden spear to his neck.

"Who are you, really? Are you a scout sent by the Milore family?"

Chen Yu sighed helplessly; had he been a scout, he would have provided coordinates to the helicopter by then.

Just as he was about to speak, a violent coughing fit suddenly echoed from deep within the cave.

The people present immediately tensed, even the leader ran over.

"Chief, how are you feeling?"

From a distance, Chen Yu caught a glimpse of a very delicate-looking young girl lying in a corner of the cave.

She seemed to be at most in her early twenties.

Just by hearing those coughs, Chen Yu knew the girl was seriously ill, and because of long-term malnutrition, her body had suffered irreversible damage inside.

"Hey, I can cure your leader's illness!"

The moment those words were uttered, the space fell silent, all eyes fixed on Chen Yu.

The man from before hurriedly ran over, grabbing Chen Yu's shoulder in a panic.

"Are you serious?"

Chen Yu coughed twice, pushed the man aside with a shove, and his body flashed straight to the depths of the cave.

This display of skill startled everyone; they had never seen such speed.

By the time they gathered themselves, Chen Yu had already taken the girl's pulse.

"This young girl must've been poisoned with lead, causing her flesh and blood to rapidly deteriorate! Do you have any fresh Ulin grass here? With this, I'm confident I can cure your leader within three days."

To everyone's surprise, upon hearing this request, they all stood there dejected, heads down.

Even the man from before sighed heavily.

"Sir, if it were possible to obtain fresh herbs, we wouldn't have let our leader get to this state."

Chen Yu frowned, "When I came I noticed there was a big mountain about three miles away, shouldn't there be fresh herbs there?"

The man's face was filled with helplessness.

"You probably aren't aware of our situation here. Within hundreds of miles, all resources are controlled by the Milore Family, and we can't get any herbs at all."

Chen Yu's mouth fell open in disbelief; he hadn't expected the Milore Family to be so domineering.

Taking a deep breath, Chen Yu approached the man. Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire

"Then who exactly are you people?"

There was a spark of anger in the man's eyes, "Put it this way, we are the original inhabitants of this place! When the Milore Family first came here, we welcomed them warmly, but we never expected…"

"I see!" There was a strange emotion flickering in Chen Yu's eyes.

He knew all too well the ways of the Knights of the Round Table.

It boiled down to the Milore Family forcibly taking over the natives' territory, restricting their movements, and stripping away all their resources.

Chen Yu briefly readjusted his breathing and pulled the lead man aside.

"If I am not mistaken, there must be some kind of resource exchange between you and the Milore Family; can you tell me where this takes place?"

The man was taken aback; he hadn't expected Chen Yu to understand the situation here so well.

"Yes, we do have an exchange market. We can only trade some wild game there for their goods! To exchange for the kind of herbs you're talking about, you'd probably need ten large carts of fish at least."

A slight smile formed at the corner of Chen Yu's mouth as he patted the man's shoulder.

"There's no need for so much, you just have to tell me where this exchange market is."

The man seemed to be in a daze. To get access to the exchange market, they needed at least a cart of fish to secure an entry, and even then, the materials they exchanged for were extremely scarce.

Now, with Chen Yu empty-handed, how could he possibly get in?

"Sir, we've saved up some spare fish over time. Why don't you take these with you? Maybe you can exchange them for some supplies."

Chen Yu shook his head and took a map from the man's hands.

"Jin Lingsu, wait here for me. I'll be back in no time!"

Jin Lingsu immediately understood Chen Yu's intention, moving silently to the bedside and subtly placing a golden spike next to the female leader's pillow.

Chen Yu didn't linger any longer, taking the map and swiftly exiting the cave. He carefully made his way along the adjacent path to a desolate plain.

Just as he arrived, a loud boom suddenly came from not far away.
