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

The man looked extremely frail, exuding a sickly aura all over. One of his shoulders was slumped, while the other was covered in strange tattoos.

Chen Yu was immediately drawn to this guy and stood up to walk over.

Upon closer inspection, one would realize that the tattoos on the man's shoulders were actually a form of artistry, hiding several recipes within them.

However, the tattoos were in an ancient script that was incomprehensible to most people.

Chen Yu's eyes flickered with a blue and white light, and he quickly deciphered the recipes.

As he approached, the man became instantly alert and paused in his movements.

"Can I help you?" the man asked, full of wariness.

Chen Yu didn't say much but simply walked to the side, picked up a piece of sugar syrup, and began to knead it quickly in his hands. Soon, a lifelike little figure was presented in front of everyone.

The man was taken aback for a moment. He had been learning sugar candy crafting for many years and had never been able to mold a figure in such a short time.

Undoubtedly Chen Yu's behavior was a challenge to him.

After a moment of stunned silence, the man, imitating Chen Yu, quickly grabbed a piece of sugar syrup and started to knead.

It took a whole half-hour for him to make a sugar figure roughly the same size as Chen Yu's.

The man heaved a few heavy breaths, resignedly tossed the sugar figure aside, and then ripped off his chef's jacket.

"My master was right; I am ultimately still an apprentice and have not grasped the essence of it. Today, I've seen a true master," he said.

After he finished speaking, the man prepared to leave.

Chen Yu quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Your technique is already very impressive; it's just some details that are limiting your speed."

A look of yearning immediately appeared in the man's eyes as he moved closer to Chen Yu.

"Please enlighten me, sir."

Chen Yu didn't say much, simply raised his finger, placed it on the man's tattooed shoulder, and swiftly traced over it.

The patterns he drew may have been unintelligible to others, but the man could clearly feel that the lines and his tattoos represented a form of writing.

Once Chen Yu withdrew his finger, the man suddenly kneeled on the ground.

"Have you also studied in that place?" he asked.

Chen Yu shook his head, "We may have learned similar things, but I have not been to the place you're talking about."

The man didn't say anything more and got up to return to his mobile kitchen to continue his sugar crafting.

In the following month, Chen Yu led a comfortable life.

People like Ding Nolan and Calon were always by his side, making him the most respected person on the entire ship.

It was during their passage through a strait that a large number of ships suddenly surrounded their steamer.

The alarm inside the cabin emitted a piercing sound, and everyone became tense. Some even pulled out lifebuoys, ready to jump into the sea and flee.

But the attackers were so fast that in no time, they had taken complete control of the whole steamer, with the leading man and his entourage swaggering onto the ship.

Armed with standard weapons, they quickly occupied the entire ship.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we're here for no other reason than to borrow some money to spend. As long as you cooperate, I can assure you no one will get hurt," he threatened domineeringly, before pulling up a chair and sitting down.

Subsequently, his subordinates gathered all the people in the cabin and had them line up to pay.

When Chen Yu heard the alarm, he lazily walked out of his room.

He never expected that someone would dare to hijack this kind of ship.

Anyone who could board this ship had extremely powerful forces backing them.

Even if these people compromised today, their powerful supporters would seek revenge on these thugs in the future.

Chen Yu didn't care much about that, he simply moved a chair and sat down opposite the leader of the men on his own.

Everyone present widened their eyes, they hadn't expected Chen Yu to show such disregard for the opposite party.

Martin Nolan maneuvered his wheelchair frantically to the side.

"Mr. Chen, don't lower yourself to his level, this man is named Hai Kui, he kills without blinking an eye, we should pay the money first and talk later."

Chen Yu didn't care about that, he moved his chair forward two more steps and sat directly in front of Hai Kui.

"Your face doesn't look too good, your brow is a bit dark, you might encounter a bloody disaster in the next few days. Why don't you call home now and check if something happened?"

These messy words, heard by anyone, would be taken as a provocation, especially in front of Hai Kui.

"Motherfucker, you're asking to die, aren't you!"

Hai Kui directly took out a weapon intending to attack, but as he was just getting up, Chen Yu's finger jabbed into his belly button.

A blue-white light flashed instantly, and Hai Kui collapsed on the ground, twitching all over.

All the onlookers were stunned, they couldn't fathom how Chen Yu had taken down Hai Kui so swiftly.

However, silence on the ship lasted only a moment before chaos ensued, as Hai Kui's subordinates immediately went berserk, trying to blow up the entire ship.

But as they were about to act, Chen Yu's body suddenly turned into a silhouette and began moving swiftly around the ship.

Not long after, these thugs one by one fell to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably.

Before, passengers had merely thought Chen Yu was someone of no ordinary status, but now he seemed like a godlike being.

Especially what had just happened, it overturned their understanding.

No person could be that fast, nor could they continuously emit such strange glows from their body.

Before the crowd could react, Chen Yu walked over to Hai Kui, picked him up, and leaned him hard against the railing.

The intense pain brought Hai Kui back to consciousness, but his eyes were already filled with fear.

"Who the hell are you? What do you really want?"

Chen Yu gave Hai Kui a sharp slap.

"I should be the one asking you that, shouldn't I? You brought people onto the ship for no reason, gathered us all together, and you're asking me what I want to do?"

Hai Kui froze, realizing he had hit a snag today and needed to retreat quickly.

But no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't break free from Chen Yu's grasp, as if his clothes were caught in the jaws of a vise.

As he stood dazed, Chen Yu suddenly threw him onto the deck.

"Leaving here is simple, let's play a game. If you win, I'll let you go, but if you lose, then I'll have to hand you and your men over to the people on the ship to deal with."
