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

Not long after, more than a dozen fully equipped security personnel charged in, swiftly dismembered the crocodile and tossed its pieces into the swamp.

Chen Yu couldn't help but frown; he hadn't expected Fox to be so ferocious.

Although the crocodile had almost eaten him, creating such a synthetic creature wasn't easy, and to kill it off so readily seemed far too wasteful.

Fox clearly didn't want to linger there, and he hurriedly left with Chen Yu.

All members of the Knights of the Round Table had already left the mountain range, and their main purpose for coming here today had been to welcome a new member.

Fox gave a few instructions to the security personnel nearby, and then took Chen Yu onto a private plane.

"Mr. Chen, now that you are a member of the Knights of the Round Table, there are certain things you must know. Let's go to Chicago; there is a biological laboratory there."

Chen Yu didn't refuse, for the amount of information he had received today was already overwhelming, and with a little organization, he could come to some unexpected conclusions.

If he could gain a bit more information, perhaps he could even synthesize a super-creature himself.

The northern part of Chicago seemed somewhat chaotic, with several hundred forces large and small mingling together.

But this was all superficial; at the very center of the chaotic area was a towering skyscraper and a vast industrial park.

When Chen Yu arrived there, he was stunned by everything in front of him.

He had never seen such a large industrial park before; even the two industrial zones in Suzhou City combined were only a tenth of this place.

A multitude of workers scurried about, each carrying an extremely strange box in their hands.

Fox gestured to a worker nearby, who then brought over a special vehicle.

This vehicle looked quite compact, but its exterior was entirely composed of hard armor, even the glass was made from an extremely special fiber.

After boarding the vehicle, Chen Yu scanned all the materials it used.

Indeed, the materials were impressive; with just a bit of research, he could perfectly replicate them.

Not much later, the vehicle arrived at a strange place.

Though still inside the industrial park, it resembled a primeval jungle, with trees seeming to have survived from hundreds of millions of years ago, towering into the clouds and immensely large.

As the vehicle entered the jungle, it seemed to disturb the creatures living there. Shortly after, a few bizarre-looking small foxes charged towards them.

Chen Yu gasped in astonishment; he had thought the huge crocodile had been Fox's limit, but he hadn't expected there to be even more formidable creatures hidden here.

Some of these foxes had two heads, some had eight tails, and there were even some that appeared to be hermaphrodites.

"Mr. Chen, everything here has been cultivated with our latest technology, and there is no other place like this in the world. If you like, I can allocate a piece of land here for you," offered Fox.

Chen Yu didn't expect Fox to be so generous, but he wasn't interested in anything here.

To him, arbitrarily altering creatures and trampling on life were not much different.

Moreover, these animals' bodies were mixed with all sorts of genes, making their very existence a pain from the moment they were born.

Suddenly, Chen Yu harbored a thought to burn this place to the ground.

After the vehicle weaved through the jungle, Chen Yu's worldview completely collapsed.

He finally understood what the Knights of the Round Table had come together for.

They were actually exploring the quest for immortality.

In a luxurious room, several scantily clad women served up a table of delicacies.

Fox tore off a leg of lamb and placed it in front of Chen Yu.

"This goat was cultivated using high technology, it tastes very delicious,"

As soon as he heard the words 'high technology,' disgust welled up in Chen Yu, making him want to vomit.

"I'm not much hungry, I want to rest alone for a while."

Fox didn't say much more and hurriedly arranged a room for Chen Yu.

The scenes he had seen earlier kept reappearing in his mind.

He couldn't believe that the Knights of the Round Table were so cruel as to turn decent animals into such monstrosities.

Just as he was about to rest for a while, a hurried knock suddenly sounded at the door, followed by the intrusion of several muscular men.

One of the men looked extremely robust, with a strange scar on his face.

If one observed carefully, they would realize that this man was different from normal people, with blood-red lines continuously surfacing on his body.

And the scar on his face looked very much like a centipede.

"You're the new Knight of the Round Table, so young, and an Easterner to boot! To tell you the truth, I don't think you're worthy. Die!"

The man raised his broadsword and prepared to bring it down.

Unexpectedly, Chen Yu suddenly swung his fist and turned his broadsword into pieces.

Before the man could react, Chen Yu's fist had already hit his face, smashing him into the ground.

A succession of bone-cracking sounds abruptly rang out as the man's skeleton instantly shattered to pieces.

"You think you can kill me? You're still too green. Just who exactly are you?"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Chen Yu asked perfunctorily, then used the system to scan the man's brain for information, and soon a plethora of details flooded into his mind.

This guy was one of the managers in the industrial park, also a candidate for the Knights of the Round Table. Rumor had it he had concocted an elixir of immortality.

This elixir was still in clinical trials, not yet successful, but it could maximize the alteration of a lab mouse's genetic structure, granting it an additional hundred years of life.

Chen Yu was astounded that such a bulky man was actually a scientist.

Just then, Fox rushed in hurriedly through the door.

"Hannes, what's the matter with you? Why are you being so disrespectful to Mr. Chen? Apologize at once."

Hannes adopted a cold demeanor; he was now the hottest scientist in the entire industrial park, and all the Knights of the Round Table respected him greatly.

How could he apologize to a youth who had just joined the Knights of the Round Table?

"Mr. Fox, I think this time you've got yourself a fraud. This guy just managed to cure a few people by fluke, how could he possibly help us research the elixir of immortality?"

A strange curve formed at the corner of Chen Yu's mouth. These guys were indeed in pursuit of immortality.

Taking advantage of Fox's distraction, Chen Yu suddenly stepped forward and seized Hannes's neck.

With a flash of blue-white light, Hannes fell to the side.

Fox was terrified, hastily attempting to help Hannes, but to his shock, Hannes's body was already icy cold, devoid of any sign of life.
