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

Chen Yu's pupils suddenly dilated. He had only released an electric current, but now the man was dead.

After briefly adjusting his breathing, he hurried forward to check and found that there were no apparent wounds on Hannes's body, just a crack at his neck.

The location of the crack was peculiar, right in the middle of the trachea.

An electric shock couldn't possibly cause such an injury unless someone did it on purpose, or there was something abnormal about his body.

At once, Fox called over the doctors on standby to save Hannes at all costs.

However, after examining Hannes's body, the doctors all shook their heads.

In their opinion, Hannes was already a dead man, beyond saving. Fox was just joking.

"Sir, this person must have dosed himself with some kind of drug, causing irreversible damage to his bodily functions. He's beyond saving."

What Chen Yu said struck Fox like a bolt from the blue.

The most important scientific researcher of his company had died so inexplicably.

"Wait a moment, Mr. Chen, did you just say he injected himself with a drug?"

Chen Yu nodded, "It's probably the immortality drug you're experimenting with."

Fox gasped, that drug was strictly forbidden within their ranks, no one was allowed to inject it without authorization.

"If that's the case, then he brought this on himself."

Fox gave a signal to the doctors around him. They immediately went forward to take some samples from Hannes's body and took them back.

Although the drug was already in clinical trials, most subjects were small animals, and it had seldom been used on humans.

Hannes's body could serve as a good research subject.

Without lingering, Chen Yu exchanged a few words with Fox and then turned to leave.

The secrets of the Knights of the Round Table, he no longer wanted to delve into them. This place was like a purgatory on earth.

Staying another moment felt like torture.

Imperial capital, Tong Family estate.

Tong Ming sat there, his voice gravely low.

Lately, there had been many dissenting voices within the corporation.

The day he designated Chen Yu as his successor, many veterans within the company disagreed.

They believed Chen Yu didn't qualify to be the successor at all.

Some even banded together to challenge his authority, wanting to strip Chen Yu of all his positions within the corporation.

Today, more than twenty veterans had appeared here at once, each bringing their contracts, trying to pressure Tong Ming.

The atmosphere on the scene was incredibly tense, the bodyguards both sides brought were on edge, about to come to blows.

Tong Ming adjusted his breathing slightly and directly took out his personal seal.

"Since you all wish to terminate the contracts, let's not waste too much time, let's start."

Everyone's eyes were filled with shock; they hadn't expected Tong Ming to agree so easily.

"Mr. Tong, you had better think this through. Are you willing to kick out these veterans over a milk-nosed brat? Can you guarantee you won't regret it in the future?"

Tong Ming laughed coldly, his face full of scorn.

"Gentlemen, remember the times when we fought side by side to conquer the world? You made all sorts of unreasonable demands, and I satisfied all of them."

"As of today, all of you have a net worth of over a hundred million, and some even have tens of billions. I, Tong Ming, don't think I've ever treated you unfairly, have I?"

The crowd exchanged glances, no longer daring to utter another word. They were well aware of the details behind the group's development.

Most of the time, it was Tong Ming who pulled things back from the brink of disaster, and the rest of them merely followed behind to reap the benefits.

Choosing to terminate the contract at such a time indeed seemed inappropriate.

But these people didn't care about that much, for the sake of their interests, they were willing to give their all.

The true moment Chen Yu took control of the group's power might also be when it was time to replace them.

Before that, they had to fight for the greatest benefits for themselves, and coming together to force the issue, resigning en masse, was to maximize their profits.

But they never dreamed that Tong Ming would agree to their demands so readily.

The group was instantly panic-stricken. They had originally wanted to rely on their shares in the group to ensure a comfortable retirement. Withdrawing so easily could have unimaginable consequences.

Some time ago, there was also a group of people clamoring to pull out their shares.

Tong Ming had agreed to their request as easily as he did today.

"Mr. Tong, we hope you understand, that young kid will only bring disaster to us. We are doing this for your own good. As long as you revoke his inheritance rights, we might still negotiate over our issue," one of them said.

Clearly, the crowd had lost their nerve; they dared not make their statements too absolute.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Tong Ming didn't indulge them, directly taking the contracts from their hands, signing his name on them, and stamping them with the company seal.

The group's eyes widened in disbelief as the contract with their signatures took effect.

Just then, Chen Yu hurried into the office.

He had meant to discuss the Knights of the Round Table with Tong Ming, but did not expect to find so many people standing in the office.

The crowd was taken aback at the sight of Chen Yu.

It was because of this youngster that they had landed in such a predicament.

In private, they had plenty of complaints about Chen Yu, even cursing him outright, but now, faced with him, they didn't dare to say a word.

The moment Chen Yu entered, he knew what these people intended. Ignoring the lot, he made his way straight to Tong Ming.

"There's something I must talk to you about alone," he said.

Tong Ming nodded, stood up, and signaled to the bodyguards to show the visitors out, then followed Chen Yu to a small room on the side.

The group was now in a full-blown panic, their earlier arrogance gone.

But it was too late. The contracts they had brought along had already been signed.

Chen Yu picked up the tea on the table and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

"Do you know about the Knights of the Round Table?" he asked.

A strange light flashed in Tong Ming's eyes.

"I didn't expect you to have encountered that level. Of course, I know about the Knights of the Round Table, and I also know there are many similar organizations in the world."

Chen Yu's pupils dilated with shock. "You mean to say there are many organizations like the Knights of the Round Table?"

Tong Ming nodded.

"Many of these organizations are bound together by interests. They either seek the same things or are tightly controlled by money. However, the Knights of the Round Table are an exception. Their purpose for coming together is to pursue immortality."

Chen Yu's breathing became rapid. He hadn't expected Tong Ming to have such an in-depth understanding of these organizations.
