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

The people in the castle had also come out at this moment, clearing the surroundings.

The members of the Lakato Family had merely been stunned unconscious, not truly dead, and it was imperative to gain control over them before they awoke.

After searching for a while, Chen Yu pulled out a map.

The place marked on it was indeed the Muta Ancient Country.

Indeed, the pursuit of Victor had just been these guys' excuse all along.

"Mr. Chen, what is this thing?" Luo Sanpao came up close, staring intently at the map.

He was fairly familiar with the desert region; the entire topography of the desert was etched into his mind.

But his complexion changed drastically when he saw the location marked on the map.

"Isn't this the deepest part of the Tarim Basin? One can't simply go there lightly; no one has ever emerged safely from there."

Without a word, Chen Yu silently took the map and entered the ancient castle.

The woman from before followed closely behind, not leaving him by half a step.

In the blink of an eye, so many people from the Lakato Family lay on the ground like dead dogs; such was true capability.

No matter whether Chen Yu was a member of the Knights of the Round Table or not, staying by his side could certainly lead to a promising future.

"What's your name?" Chen Yu suddenly asked.

The woman hesitated briefly before hurrying forward, "Sally!"

Chen Yu considered for a moment, "Alright, from now on, you'll follow me. However, I need you to help me locate the ancient town of Muta."

Sally was thrilled to the extreme; she had wandered the desert for so many years, longing to find someone to rely on, and now at last, she saw hope.

"Mr. Chen, from today onwards, I am your person. Whatever you ask of me, I will go through fire and water without any hesitation."

Chen Yu didn't say much, just grabbed a cup from the table and gulped down a drink.

In the following days, the castle was relatively calm. All those from the Alato Family had been locked up, and Luo Sanpao specifically picked out a few for thorough interrogation, finally getting some useful information.

What this group was after was not only the ancient town of Muta but also an ancient small town next to it.

It was said that this small town was once a small country a long time ago.

Apparently, they had migrated from the Loulan Ancient Country, but unlike Roland, they did not vanish into the annals of history but survived.

Even though their numbers decreased, they had maintained the scale of a small town until now.

Chen Yu spread the map out on the table, studying the route from here to the ancient town of Muta in detail.

It was wisest to replenish supplies from the ancient castle before going there, and besides the castle lay the rigid Gobi desert, well-suited for a large convoy to travel on.

"Brother Chen, everything is ready. Let's set out now. Otherwise, if those bastards get ahead of us, it will be too late," said Luo Sanpao, rushing to Chen Yu's side and stuffing the car keys into his hands.

Over these days, Luo Sanpao had gotten quite familiar with Chen Yu.

Plus, he was Jin Lingsu's underling, so he had great respect for Chen Yu.

Stuffing the car keys into Chen Yu's hands was his way of telling him that from now on, everyone under him would follow Chen Yu's orders.

Chen Yu was somewhat surprised. However, indeed, a clear leader was needed for a deep expedition into the Tarim Basin.

Otherwise, this big group of people would scatter in all directions upon reaching the depths of the desert, the consequences of which were unimaginable.

Chen Yu glanced at Victor sitting next to him.

"I saw earlier that you have a helicopter here, is it possible to send Mr. Victor and Katherine away first?"

Luo Sanpao nodded.

"Of course, it just so happens that I have two professional pilots here, who wouldn't be of much use following us into the desert anyway, so let them go to Europe to look for buyers for us. Who knows, we might even find some incredible treasures in the ancient city."

Chen Yu walked over to Katherine and patted her on the shoulder.

"You must take good care of Mr. Victor during this journey."

Katherine nodded vigorously, then helped Victor to a clearing outside the castle.

Beside the stone wall was a gate, and upon opening it, a modified helicopter slowly emerged.

Victor did not linger and, after greeting Chen Yu, boarded the helicopter.

Luo Sanpao ordered his men to pack up all the supplies in the castle and formed an impressive caravan.

The place they were headed to was deep in the desert, and without sufficient supplies, it simply wouldn't be feasible.

As their current location was the most essential waystation before reaching that destination, should others arrive here they might plunder it completely.

Luo Sanpao decided not to leave anyone behind, and on departure, he set numerous traps around the outskirts of the castle.

Any bold enough to launch an assault on the castle was doomed to a one-way trip.

The caravan moved steadily westward, without the slightest pause, and after an indeterminate length of time, they finally reached a sizable oasis.

Although not large, this place allowed them to replenish their water supply, and nearby, there were two camel caravans passing through.

Luo Sanpao became alert at the sight of the camel caravans, took up arms from the vehicle, and went over to check with a couple of men.

The camel caravans seemed ordinary at first glance, but closer scrutiny revealed an oddly large number of people, and the camels were carrying slightly fewer goods than expected.

Anyone traversing the desert would carry as much cargo as possible.

Such a rough journey with so little to ship wouldn't cover the costs at all.

"Where are you transporting these goods?"

Luo Sanpao asked bluntly, pressing his weapon to the forehead of the man leading the group.

That man, accustomed to the world, stood silently with an air of neither subservience nor arrogance.

He then gestured to someone beside him, who quickly brought over a list of goods.

It contained items like jewels and the like.

Seeing the list, Luo Sanpao breathed a sigh of relief, as transporting these items through the desert was normal, with each piece being worth a fortune on its own.

Just as he was about to leave, Chen Yu suddenly rushed over, grabbed the arm of the camel team leader.

"You lot really are persistent, we just cleared out some of your people recently, and I didn't expect you to get here so quickly."

This statement turned all the eyes present upon them.

Before they could react, Chen Yu suddenly attacked, pinning the leader under his foot, and then a blue-white light emitted from him.

"Brother Chen, what's going on?"

Chen Yu coldly stared at the two camel caravans before him.

"They are from the Akato Family, each one of them carrying a large amount of weapons. They were just about to kill you."
