Chapter 374: Chapter 374 Betting on Luck
“Ladies and gentlemen, trouble is here again; that fellow is back, this time with a heap of diluted treasures, and he’s brought some inexplicable people with him.”
The security staff hurriedly barged in and presented a video calling device to everyone.
On the screen stood a man in his sixties with a face marked by scars.
Around him stood a dozen or so people, each exuding an air of distinction.
Fox couldn’t help but frown.
“That old man refuses to die. I thought he was already dead. Why has he come here again?”
Out of curiosity, Chen Yu craned his neck to have a look at the screen and recognized the person to be Carroll Philock.
This man held an immense fortune, always ranking first among the world’s richest as publicly known.
Fox tossed aside the communication device in his hand and hurried out.
The other elders remained indifferent, simply sitting there drinking tea without a care.
This was Chen Yu’s first visit here, and he was filled with curiosity about why the world’s richest man had come to this place.
When he stepped outside, Carroll looked at him with a gaze mixed with astonishment.
“Who is this kid? Has the Knights of the Round Table added a new member?”
Fox nodded and grabbed Chen Yu’s hand, lifting the Token in his grip.
“He’s a new member carefully selected by all of us. You want to join the Knights of the Round Table; you might have to wait a few more decades, that is if you can actually live that long!”
Carroll’s breathing became ragged, and he quickly stepped forward.
“I refuse to accept this. How is this kid better than me in any way? My wealth is number one in the world, I have a very powerful family behind me, and each of my clients could be the best in their respective fields.”
Such arrogant words were particularly distasteful.
Chen Yu also furrowed his brows but said nothing more. Instead, he took out a handful of sunflower seeds and started cracking them by the door frame, clearly in a mood to watch the show.
Carroll’s anger intensified.
In his view, he was the only one worthy of becoming a new Knight of the Round Table.
“Fox, I know you are the recruiter for this generation’s Knights of the Round Table. I want to have a contest with this kid, to prove that I am stronger than him.”
Fox didn’t say much; he only looked at Chen Yu with an inquisitive gaze.
The atmosphere became somewhat strange as numerous security personnel slowly surrounded them, ready to expel Carroll if necessary.
Chen Yu tidied up the sunflower seed shells in his hand and slowly stepped forward.
“Very well then, let’s have a contest. I’d like to see just how formidable the world’s richest man really is.”
A flash of contempt crossed Carroll’s eyes. He found a spot to sit, and pulled out a deck of playing cards.
Actually, at their level, competing in mere wealth or other capabilities seemed lowly.
Anyone who is extremely wealthy in this world owes their fortune, at least in part, to luck.
Therefore, a contest of luck was the best method of comparison.
“Let’s keep it simple, each of us will draw one card from the deck, and whoever draws the higher number wins.”
Chen Yu almost laughed, with the system in his hand, he could see through everything in this world. Even if the deck was placed in front of him, he could easily tell where the largest card was.
