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

Kraggley Center Hotel, Chen Yu had thrown Hewick, bound hand and foot, onto the sofa.

He had also altered every program and electric code in his body, rendering him immobile.

What Hewick found most intolerable was that Chen Yu and Jin Lingsu were eating grilled fish right in front of him.

In this place, resources were extremely scarce, but the grill was exceptional.

Many people traveled thousands of miles just to taste the local delicacies.

Chen Yu tore off a piece of beef fiercely, looking at Hewick with a provocative gaze.

"Would you like to have a bite?"

Hewick, already drooling, instinctively nodded his immobilized body, completely unable to move.

Chen Yu laughed heartily, then tore off another chunk of meat right in front of him.

Jin Lingsu had been laughing so hard she was bending forward and backward.

Just then, a rapid knock on the door suddenly came from the entrance, turning both of their complexions grave in an instant.

Chen Yu's eyes immediately flashed with blue-white light, and the scene outside the door presented itself in his mind.

A chambermaid with fresh linen stood at the door, and behind her followed more than twenty burly men armed with weapons.

These men radiated a murderous aura; if they burst in, they would kill both of them on the spot.

Chen Yu made a silencing gesture and quickly approached the door.

"Who is it?"

"Good evening, sir, we're here to change the bedding. Could you please open the door?"

The chambermaid's voice was still crisp, but there was a hint of panic in her tone.

Chen Yu responded and opened the door directly, and indeed, the twenty-odd people behind her rushed in.

As these people charged in, they felt an electric current pass through their bodies and collapsed instantly.

The chambermaid, terrified out of her wits, stood motionless at the door.

Chen Yu picked up one of the men from the ground and dragged him to the table.

With a light pat on the man's shoulder, he woke him up.

"Aren't your people at the Magellan Straits? What are you doing here?"

The man seemed not yet to have come to his senses, his face full of confusion; he had no idea how he had ended up on the floor.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I'd advise you to let our second in command go, or we'll kill you all."

Chen Yu hadn't expected the man to be so defiant, so he smacked him across the face.

"Answer my question first."

The man, stunned by the slap, looked over at Hewick, who hadn't moved an inch on the sofa; terror reached its peak on his face.

The suit Hewick wore was a costly creation by Hacks Corporation; if even such a being was controlled by Chen Yu, what could he do?

"We just got wind of your location and came here to ambush you."

Chen Yu sneered and grabbed the man's head, a flash of blue-white light passing by.

The information from the man's brain instantly appeared in Chen Yu's mind.

The system's functions were becoming increasingly godlike, as if he carried an artificial intelligence with him.

"So, you planted a spy in the Childe Family, no wonder you know our movements like the back of your hand and can precisely control the merchant ships in the Magellan Straits."

At these words, Hewick, who was standing nearby, was startled.

Chen Yu's interrogation had been fully observed by him, and it seemed like nothing substantial had been asked, yet how could he know everything?

Chen Yu took a moment to adjust his breathing; he hadn't expected things to be so deeply complicated.

Although the Childe Family was the top capitalist conglomerate in the world, its internals were extremely unstable, with spies infiltrating from time to time.

Otherwise, they wouldn't know the specific routes of the cargo ships in such detail.

After the deep collaboration between the Childe Family and the Tong Group, all ocean-going cargo ships over ten thousand tons had been disguised, and even their berthing positions were meticulously designed.

Unless it was someone from inside, no one would know the exact situation.

Chen Yu extended his finger to tap lightly on the man's head, electrocuting him into unconsciousness once again.

He then walked up to Hewick.

"Mr. Hewick, some matters may require your cooperation, and I hope you can now voluntarily turn off all the electronic devices on you so I can scan your brain."

Hewick's pupils dilated suddenly, and fear covered his face to the utmost.

The set of equipment on him couldn't be re-installed after the car accident; it was powerful, but it caused him a lot of pain.

How could Chen Yu, who seemed to be a complete human without any obvious electronic devices on him, possibly scan a normal person's brain?

Before he could react, Chen Yu had already grabbed his shoulder, and a current instantly ran through Hewick's body.

All the electronic sensing devices on him completely failed!

A strange curve formed on the corners of Chen Yu's mouth as he stared intently at Hewick.

Before long, everything inside the man's head was replicated in Chen Yu's mind.

"So it was a seduction strategy, such a low-level tactic, and you still resorted to it!"

Chen Yu scoffed and tapped Hewick's head, electrocuting him into unconsciousness.

"You're getting more and more powerful now!" Jin Lingsu said with disbelief in her eyes, "How did you do it? How could you scan the information in their brains?"

Chen Yu casually pointed at the watch on his wrist.

"This is a specially customized new product that can, to some extent, merge with a person's brain waves, thereby probing for information from the brain."

This explanation was far-fetched, and naturally, Jin Lingsu didn't believe it, but since the conversation had reached this point, she didn't ask any further.

The two did not linger there for long. After eating and drinking, they set off in the middle of the night for the Magellan Strait.

The journey from Kraggley to the Magellan Strait required an eight-hour drive, which necessitated crossing a desolate desert.

Therefore, they needed to get a professional off-road vehicle.

Jin Lingsu had some connections here. With a single phone call, she obtained a fully equipped vehicle.

The journey through the desert was tough, and it was the largest Death Desert on the planet.

The climate there was extremely harsh, with temperatures fluctuating between forty degrees Celsius above zero and twenty degrees below zero.

Anyone wishing to enter the desert must make thorough preparations; otherwise, they would perish there.

Although Chen Yu and Jin Lingsu were not ordinary people, they had still made ample preparations.

When their car reached the center of the desert, the colors between heaven and earth changed dramatically, and the temperature shift was rapid.

This place was near the Arctic Circle and was extremely cold, but because of its peculiar terrain, a current of air passed through here and converged in the desert, creating the temperature difference.

That was what led to the environmental extremes in this area!
