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

"Mr. Chen, our master is asking you about culinary matters, and out of respect, you cannot casually change the subject. Furthermore, these are matters the people below can handle, so there's no need to bother the young master."

The hoarse voice sounded gloomy, filling Chen Yu with an inexplicable revulsion.

He lifted his head, the middle-aged man beside him was quite handsome, but his lips were unnaturally red, and his eyes emitted a strange cold light.

On his hand, he was wearing a peculiar sapphire blue ring.

"Mr. Noka, if I remember correctly, the Charlies family's current signatory authority rests with Miss Diana. Should I discuss these details with anyone else if not with her?"

"Mr. Chen, please don't misunderstand!" Diana hurriedly stood up, "Mr. Noka is only concerned about my wellbeing. I have to sign hundreds of documents every day, and my arm is already swollen. "

"Hundreds of documents?" Chen Yu's pupils dilated suddenly.

How could the Charlies family, now reduced to just their main businesses and a few auxiliary companies, possibly have hundreds of documents to sign every day?

[System alert: Danger detected, switching to autonomous defense mode]

Chen Yu immediately became vigilant, with the system's scanning results simultaneously surfacing in his mind.

The ring in Noka's hand radiated a red glow.

[Miniature surveillance communication system, currently operational, linked to Fackel Estate]

The Fackel Estate is the Edward Family's temporary base in Frankfurt.

The system's findings were enough to prove that the Noka before him was a spy the Edward Family had planted within the Charlies family.

The documents laid out on the table by Chen Yu had likely already been photographed by Noka and sent to Fackel Estate.

"Mr. Noka! If I'm not mistaken, you've been working for the Charlies family for thirty years. Why choose to betray?"

This sudden interrogation startled Noka, and he instinctively stepped back, instinctively grabbing the long sword beside him.

"Mr. Chen, you helped the Charlies family recover losses, and I am grateful to you for that! But you can't defame my character like this."

Chen Yu didn't care for that; he stepped forward to grab the ring off Noka's hand directly.

Noka's reactions were extremely quick, feinting to the left and dodging away, then drawing his long sword to slash at Chen Yu.

But Chen Yu was quicker, lunging forward like a specter, grabbing Noka's ring-wearing hand and wrenching it backward with force.

The sharp sound of bone breaking with a piercing scream filled the air instantly, Noka's body coiled on the ground like a silkworm cocoon.

"Your character doesn't hold value in my sight, I'm more inclined to trust my own eyes."

Chen Yu's voice was ice-cold as he directly pulled off the ring.

Crushing the sapphire casing on the outside, a miniature surveillance device was revealed within, still in operation.

Diana suddenly stood up, staring incredulously at the unfolding scene.

"Mr. Noka, you are the person I have respected the most from childhood, how could you do such a thing?"

Noka gritted his teeth, "The Charlies family are a bunch of disgusting beasts. Thirty years ago, my whole family died at your hands. I came to your house to work as a servant for the sake of revenge."

Chen Yu's brows were tightly knitted, uninterested in the grudge between Noka and the Charlies family.

He came here only to expand his business empire, and at the same time, based on a relationship of interests, he linked the William's family, Charlie's family, the Tong Family, and the Chu Family together.

Chen Yu lifted his foot and kicked hard on Noka's shoulder, crippling his shoulder blade and simultaneously crushing the monitor.

"Miss Diana, this place is no longer safe, you're afraid you'll have to come with me."

Diana's throat moved slightly. Even though she was born into Charlie's family, she was after all just a thirteen-year-old girl who lacked even some basic concepts of understanding.

Although Chen Yu had disposed of Noka for her, she still remained wary of him.

By then, Chen Yu couldn't care less about caution; he directly grabbed Diana's arm, picked her up, and hurried out of the underground wine cellar.

The Charlie family bodyguards responsible for the perimeter surveillance saw this scene and rushed to intercept, but they were all repelled by Chen Yu one by one.

Before long, Chen Yu had taken Diana all the way to William's family's ancient castle.

When Victor saw Diana, he just stood there, stunned.

It was a time of crisis; the Edward Family was running rampant on the European continent, with every other family feeling imperiled.

Although Charlie's family was somewhat reliant on William's family nowadays, it still maintained its independence.

If outsiders knew that Chen Yu had forcefully brought Diana to William's family's castle, it could spark all sorts of public opinion that Edward Family might exploit.

"Mr. Chen, why did you bring her here?" Victor appeared flustered.

Chen Yu picked up a teacup from the table and gulped down the tea, "Now that Charlie's family is full of spies, if she wasn't brought here, Charlie's family's last hope would be finished."

After giving a somewhat perfunctory explanation, Chen Yu took out his laptop.

"These companies are now practically in our control; we must have Diana sign quickly so the companies belong to Charlie's family, and at the same time, use Charlie's family's core companies and private equity funds to take control!"

Victor glanced at the business map displayed on the computer screen and nodded his head.

The solution that Chen Yu had presented was practically the only viable method at the moment.

Although Diana's concept of recognition was not fully formed, she was quite savvy with business matters from being exposed to them since a young age.

Hearing what Chen Yu said, she no longer hesitated, hurriedly ran to Chen Yu's side, picked up the documents, and started signing.

Victor also breathed a sigh of relief. Now that Diana was willing to sign of her own accord, the alliance between Charlie's family and William's family had taken a substantial leap forward.

Chen Yu organized all the materials in his hand and sent them to Han Xiaohui.

During this time, she might have already made sense of the disputes among the various families in Europe and the business system, as the strategic plan she provided was nearly the same as the system suggested.

As a result, Chen Yu confidently entrusted most of the business operations to Han Xiaohui.

Just then, a sudden violent explosion sounded from the outskirts of the castle, and the strong smell of gunpowder instantaneously spread.

Chen Yu frowned involuntarily, subconsciously glancing at the surveillance screen beside him, and noticed a large number of masked individuals appearing outside the castle.

These people wore bizarre masks, and each carried a knight's longsword, bearing quite the style of the Middle Ages.

At their waists, without exception, each had an identical explosive device, and all were turned on with the countdown initiated.
