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

Chen Yu couldn't help but frown, as he hadn't expected such bizarre rules to exist here.

Ignoring these fellows, he simply tore off the sheep's head and began to eat by himself.

Jin Lingsu also provocatively sat next to Chen Yu, chewing hungrily on the pot meat.

Those guys were truly enraged, drawing their horse-cutting sabers from their waists.

"Damn it, these two don't take us seriously at all, let's chop them up and go back for a reward."

Just as they were about to make a move, Chen Yu suddenly stood up, releasing a blue and white glow that shocked these men to the ground.

He took a moment to catch his breath, then walked up to the sheep's head vendor.

"Boss, what place is this? Why do I have to pay to come in?"

The vendor raised his head, his eyes appearing hollow.

"This is the entrance to the Sacred Mountain of Augustus, and all who arrive here must show reverence to the gods. However, it doesn't have to be gold, it can also be a sheep's head."

Chen Yu glanced at the people on the ground: "Then what's their deal?"

"They are the lowest warriors of the Sacred Mountain of Augustus, they just wanted to extort some money from you!"

Chen Yu suddenly felt like cursing; he hadn't expected these guys to have come to shake him down.

After finishing the sheep's head in his hands, Chen Yu parked the vehicle on an empty space and brought Jin Lingsu toward the direction of the Sacred Mountain of Augustus.

This place was not as terrifying as the legends suggested. Although everyone's expression in the outer town was very stiff, they were still warm and hospitable.

Moreover, along the way from the town to the Sacred Mountain of Augustus, many people were there on pilgrimage.

Chen Yu didn't let down his guard, carefully observing everything around him.

After about half an hour, the two of them finally arrived at the foot of the Sacred Mountain of Augustus.

Speaking of which, this place was not really a mountain, but rather a huge castle built on a mound.

Just then, two figures in white robes slowly walked down from the castle.

"Are you here for a pilgrimage?"

Their authoritative inquiry could have made an ordinary person kneel in fear.

Chen Yu smiled and took out the Token of the Knights of the Round Table from his clothing.

"I've got some disputes to settle with your family, and I've come today to resolve them!"

Upon seeing the Token, the person's eyes widened, and he rushed back into the castle in a fluster.

Not long after, an elder with white hair hurried out.

"I really didn't expect someone from the Knights of the Round Table to come to our Sacred Mountain. Please come inside, the mountain elder has already started preparing the meal."

Chen Yu was somewhat surprised, as the mountain elder had been a legend and supposedly died a thousand years ago, yet was apparently still around.

He didn't say much, just followed the person into the castle.

The place was truly resplendent, with almost all the decorations carved out of pure gold.

Chen Yu entered a great hall and casually pulled over a chair to sit down. Before long, an old man wearing a mask came out carrying a large basin of mutton.

"I've long heard that the Knights of the Round Table had a young and newly appointed knight. I'm finally seeing one today."

Chen Yu didn't respond, just picked up a piece of mutton and placed it near his mouth.

Jin Lingsu quickly grabbed his wrist, signaling him to be cautious.

Chen Yu shook his head: "Go ahead and eat."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Before Jin Lingsu could react, Chen Yu had already bitten off a large chunk of mutton.

Fortunately, the mutton had not been tampered with, and Chen Yu was safe and sound.

The masked old man chuckled twice, sitting with his legs crossed, staring at Chen Yu with a kind gaze.

If it had been someone else, they would have been conquered by such a look long ago.

But Chen Yu just kept his head down and ate on his own.

He knew very well that the old man in front of him had known all of his information for a long time, even the matter of the Snow and Ino brothers.

The reason he still maintained such a courteous attitude was nothing more than to offer a carrot before the stick.

Chen Yu didn't beat around the bush after stuffing his mouth with two bites of mutton, he leaned back in his chair.

"Old sir, I'm here today to completely obliterate the Lakato Family, so you don't need to be so polite to me."

The masked old man's body shuddered, and several attendants by his side also became vigilant, drawing the weapons from their waists.

"Haha, Mr. Chen is truly straightforward. Since that's the case, I won't hold back or hide anything! As long as you can help me remove the other powers within the family, from now on, the Lakato Family will hold you in the highest regard!"

Chen Yu was slightly stunned, immediately scanning everyone's brain information with his system overlay.

Even before this, he knew that the Lakato Family was internally fragmented, each acting on their own.

But he did not expect them to be so scattered.

The old man in the mask had inherited the title of the Old Man of the Mountain many years ago.

Logically, his status should have been the most noble, and the entire Lakato Family should have heeded his command.

However, he didn't expect the other factions within the family to be completely rebellious, exploiting many past grievances to gradually split away.

Take the brothers Snow and Ino, for example, their ancestors were originally from Europe and were slaves of William's family.

Therefore, they had always wanted to swallow William's family and return to Europe.

Yet another part of the family were direct descendants of the Old Man of the Mountain, who simply wanted to stay and manage their bastion here.

These two sides were already at loggerheads, and outside of them, many more factions had broken off.

This caused the already loose Lakato Family to become even more fragmented.

After obtaining this information, Chen Yu pondered for a moment and then readily agreed.

"I can help you, but what's in it for me?"

The old man, brimming with excitement, directly took a sealed box from the side and placed it on the table.

"This is the most treasured possession of the first Old Man of the Mountain, said to be a gift from a deity."

The moment the box opened, a dazzling light instantly illuminated the entire room, causing even Chen Yu to widen his eyes in astonishment.

"The Desert Pearl!" Jin Lingsu exclaimed in surprise.

This was a legendary priceless treasure.

It was said that Xu Liewu decided to send troops to annihilate the Old Man of the Mountain largely for this pearl, but in the end, he failed to find it.

Who would have thought it would have been passed down.

Chen Yu immediately analyzed the composition of the pearl and found that it contained a mixed element not found on Earth.

This object must have been a meteorite from outer space that fell to Earth, shaped and moved by the earth's crust over the years until it formed such a pearl.

It could be said that such an object was unique in the entire world.

To take out something so precious as a reward showed the masked old man's sincerity.

Chen Yu could not even think of a reason to refuse.
