After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person Chapter 374 Betting on Luck
"Ladies and gentlen, trouble is here again; that fellow is back, this ti with a heap of diluted treasures, and he's brought so inexplicable people with him."
The security staff hurriedly barged in and presented a video calling device to everyone.
On the screen stood a man in his sixties with a face marked by scars.
Around him stood a dozen or so people, each exuding an air of distinction.
Fox couldn't help but frown.
"That old man refuses to die. I thought he was already dead. Why has he co here again?"
Out of curiosity, Chen Yu craned his neck to have a look at the screen and recognized the person to be Carroll Philock.
This man held an imnse fortune, always ranking first among the world's richest as publicly known.
Fox tossed aside the communication device in his hand and hurried out.
The other elders remained indifferent, simply sitting there drinking tea without a care.
This was Chen Yu's first visit here, and he was filled with curiosity about why the world's richest man had co to this place.
When he stepped outside, Carroll looked at him with a gaze mixed with astonishnt.
"Who is this kid? Has the Knights of the Round Table added a new mber?"
Fox nodded and grabbed Chen Yu's hand, lifting the Token in his grip.
"He's a new mber carefully selected by all of us. You want to join the Knights of the Round Table; you might have to wait a few more decades, that is if you can actually live that long!"
Carroll's breathing beca ragged, and he quickly stepped forward.
"I refuse to accept this. How is this kid better than in any way? My wealth is number one in the world, I have a very powerful family behind , and each of my clients could be the best in their respective fields."
Such arrogant words were particularly distasteful.
Chen Yu also furrowed his brows but said nothing more. Instead, he took out a handful of sunflower seeds and started cracking them by the door fra, clearly in a mood to watch the show.
Carroll's anger intensified.
In his view, he was the only one worthy of becoming a new Knight of the Round Table.
"Fox, I know you are the recruiter for this generation's Knights of the Round Table. I want to have a contest with this kid, to prove that I am stronger than him."
Fox didn't say much; he only looked at Chen Yu with an inquisitive gaze.
The atmosphere beca sowhat strange as nurous security personnel slowly surrounded them, ready to expel Carroll if necessary.
Chen Yu tidied up the sunflower seed shells in his hand and slowly stepped forward.
"Very well then, let's have a contest. I'd like to see just how formidable the world's richest man really is."
A flash of contempt crossed Carroll's eyes. He found a spot to sit, and pulled out a deck of playing cards.
Actually, at their level, competing in re wealth or other capabilities seed lowly.
Anyone who is extrely wealthy in this world owes their fortune, at least in part, to luck.
Therefore, a contest of luck was the best thod of comparison.
"Let's keep it simple, each of us will draw one card from the deck, and whoever draws the higher number wins."
Chen Yu almost laughed, with the system in his hand, he could see through everything in this world. Even if the deck was placed in front of him, he could easily tell where the largest card was.
Carroll also appeared to be suprely confident, with a strange, crystal-like sparkle flashing in his eyes.
If you looked closely, you'd notice that he was wearing a pair of invisible glasses.
No wonder he wanted to bet on luck. It turned out he had co prepared: the invisible glasses in his eyes were made of a special material that allowed him to easily see through the cards.
Chen Yu slightly adjusted his breathing, then casually drew a card from the deck.
Carroll's expression clearly changed for a mont; he also drew a card, and when they both revealed their cards, the numbers were exactly the sa—the highest numbers.
The first round ended in a tie, and both n found themselves in a deadlock.
Carroll, gritting his teeth and feeling unsatisfied, wanted to play another round, but suddenly, Fox appeared by his side and grabbed his shoulder.
"Old buddy, you're going too far. Coming here with x-ray glasses to play with this young brother here, even if you win, it won't be a win to be proud of. If I were you, I'd pack up and go ho and stop causing trouble here, or else I'll have you thrown out."
Carroll suddenly let out a scream, becoming frantic.
His family had started to prosper centuries ago, and the descendants had taken the way of thinking left by their ancestors to the extre, accumulating billions of wealth.
Theoretically, their family already had the qualifications to join the Knights of the Round Table.
In the past, many mbers of their family had received invitations from the Knights of the Round Table, including Carroll.
When they saw the environnt of the Knights of the Round Table, it was as if they had opened the door to another world, unable to return to their forr lives.
Therefore, joining the Knights of the Round Table beca an additional goal for their family through the generations.
But no matter how hard they tried, it always seed they were just a little short, getting eliminated at the very last step every ti.
This ti, Carroll wanted to make an effort on top of his previous attempts to see if he could join the Knights of the Round Table, but to his surprise, soone else had beaten him to it, and it was a young man not even thirty years old.
"Why? My family is already so powerful, why aren't we eting the mark? What makes this little brat any better than ?"
Fox chuckled coldly and slowly moved forward a few steps.
"Although this young brother's wealth may not compare to yours, he possesses a skill you could never match, the Art of Resurrection."
Chen Yu's eyes widened. He indeed knew dicine, but as for bringing back the dead, he didn't have such an ability.
However, rembering the scene when he saved soone at the Childe Family, Chen Yu understood.
The two patients from their family were already critically ill, and anyone else would have been unable to cure them. Moreover, the Childe Family had even set up a research lab specifically for their ailnts, yet to no avail.
In the end, Chen Yu managed to cure them within a month, and naturally, they saw him as a divine healer.
Having soone like that join the Knights of the Round Table ant these old fellows might extend their lives by a decade or even several decades.
In this world, everything is related to interests. The older generation of the Knights didn't actually lack money; what they lacked was life and a healthy body.
This was also a major reason for Carroll's failure.
Upon hearing the words "Art of Resurrection," Carroll staggered and collapsed onto a chair. How many people in this world could achieve resurrection?
