After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person Chapter 446 7 Crystal Balls

Everyone at the scene looked on with great interest, fixing their eyes on Martin Nolan, waiting for the knife in his hand to fall.

Chen Yu sighed with resignation and stepped forward to grab Martin Nolan's arm.

"Enough, I'll be on this ship for quite a while, from now on, you'll be in charge of arranging my als and accommodations."

Martin Nolan was imdiately excited, not because Chen Yu had spared him, but because it was a great honor for their dependent families to serve the Knights of the Round Table.

Everyone's eyes widened, no one expected the usually arrogant and domineering Martin Nolan to beco like this.

While everyone was puzzled, Chen Yu took out a painting that Hansis had bought.

"This painting is from the Ming dynasty's Wanli era, painted by a court artist!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the scene once again erupted.

Chen Yu did not stay there long; he liked this mode of auction, but the environnt seed stuffy.

The space on the ship was already limited, and it was a restaurant here, with many inexplicable odors mixed together, which made it oppressive.

Just as he walked out of the restaurant, intending to go to the deck to clear his mind, a sharp scream suddenly ca from behind him.

A rather beautiful-looking waitress ran out of a room in a panic.

"It's terrible, soone's been killed!"

Chen Yu couldn't help but frown; this was a high-end ship, how could a murder happen out of nowhere?

Even if soone had malicious intentions, the ship's security system would issue an alert imdiately with the help of the surveillance.

Chen Yu hurriedly approached: "What happened?"

The waitress gasped for air: "The guest in that room, I don't know what happened, he just died, and there's a pile of shattered crystal shards beside him."

Chen Yu's interest was piqued, and he quickly went to investigate.

The room wasn't very large, but it was quite spacious relatively speaking.

The deceased was a male, around forty years old, lying on the bed draped in a towel, with a very peaceful expression on his face, showing no signs of suffering before death.

Moreover, there were no visible wounds on his body, at first glance, it looked like natural death.

The crystal shards beside him looked very scattered, as if soone had left them there on purpose.

Chen Yu crouched down and examined the crystal shards carefully, they seed normal.

Just then, the ship's security personnel hurriedly arrived at the scene.

When they saw Chen Yu, they imdiately beca respectful.

Even soone like Martin Nolan treated him with the utmost respect, how could they dare to be presumptuous?

"Mr. Chen, what's this?" the security chief asked with so confusion.

Chen Yu directly took out a certificate from his person.

"I'm a detective, after all, is there a problem with checking out the scene?"

The security chief was imdiately excited and hurriedly handed the certificate back.

"Mr. Chen, have you found any clues?"

Chen Yu shook his head, "Not at the mont, could you help check the identity information of the deceased?"

At this mont Chen Yu felt sowhat helpless; he had tried to probe the deceased's brain information using the system but received no response.

According to the system's explanation, it was because the other person had already died, and their brain waves couldn't show any activity.

The security captain acted swiftly, and it wasn't long before he had all the passenger's information in hand.

This guy's identity wasn't anything special; he was just an ordinary jewel rchant.

Chen Yu montarily ran out of leads. Nothing was missing from the room; it didn't seem like a robbery-murder case, and the victim didn't have any obvious wounds, which was unlike suicide.

After ruling out all theories, only natural death remained as an option.

But no one would believe that a forty-sothing, physically robust man could just suddenly die of natural causes.

Chen Yu propped his chin and contemplated for a long ti, but couldn't co to a conclusion, so he had to leave the room.

He took a mont to regulate his breathing and used the system to cover the entire ship, attempting to scan everyone's brain information.

However, the ship was covered with an extrely powerful satellite signal, causing severe interference. Chen Yu could only capture parts of the brain information, none of which was related to the man at hand.

Exhaling a murky breath, he could only temporarily leave.

Hansis hurriedly ran out of the bustling dining room and bumped into Chen Yu face to face.

"Mr. Chen, you're truly amazing. The painting you chose for just now sold at a high price. I've made at least six billion this ti, and according to the rules here, I owe you three billion."

Chen Yu waved his hand, "You don't need to give the money. Can you help investigate if the person in that room has any other identities?"

Hansis tilted his head and his face suddenly changed dramatically.

"Oy, that guy, well, he's quite a famous explorer in the circles, but he's engaged in the business of grave robbing! Many of the precious jewels he owns were obtained through such ans."

Chen Yu beca sowhat distracted. Most people involved in this kind of business end up dying unexpectedly – maybe this guy had been poisoned by so strange curse.

He didn't dwell on it too much and went with Hansis to the next hall for a drink at the bar.

The auction in the dining room was now over, and most of the people had gathered there to relax.

The recent murder case had spread, causing widespread panic.

"Did you hear about Luckne? He's dead!"

"No surprise there; he had apparently found an ancient ruin a while back and emptied its treasure. Said place was rumored to be cursed."

"Ruins from the Ramses Dynasty, which one isn't cursed? I don't know what gave him the nerve to tamper with that place."

"It's said the curse is about seven Crystal Balls. The seven who entered the ruins will be killed by these seven Crystal Balls."

"Yikes, I heard that there were pieces of a Crystal Ball in Luckne's room."

...

The more these people talked, the more mysterious it got; if one were to connect their stories, you might write a novel out of it.

But the term "Crystal Ball" still piqued Chen Yu's interest.

He imdiately ran into the crowd, asking about the Crystal Ball.

Legend had it that Ramses III, at the ti of his death, placed seven magical Crystal Balls around his tomb.

These objects were ant to accompany Ramses III to heaven.

If soone were to plunder his tomb and ruins, he would return with the seven Crystal Balls for revenge!

According to the legend in the story, it seed Ramses III knew before he died that seven people would open his legacy, and he had prepared seven Crystal Balls specifically for these seven people.

Chen Yu certainly didn't believe such a far-fetched tale.
