After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person-Chapter 530 -
In a rather luxurious courtyard, more than a dozen teenagers stood, each holding a stainless steel basin in their hands.
In their basins, there were varying amounts of money, but only one little girl had basins full of gold coins.
A fat man, who wobbled with every third step like a pig, emerged from the house and made his way to the little girl first.
"Xiao Chun ah! You really are my treasure, always bringing back so much money! Who do you want to exchange for this time?"
Xiao Chun lifted her hand and pointed to a boy leaning against the corner of the wall.
"Him!"
The boy’s eyes widened in surprise.
"Xiao Chun, these people are simply deceiving you, they are just threatening you with us who came down from the mountain! Get away quickly, don’t worry about us."
The fat man kicked the boy to the ground.
"Shut up! If I tell you to scram, you better scram."
Xiao Chun let out a long sigh of relief, then handed over the stainless steel basin she was holding.
The fat man joyfully cradled the basin, jingling the gold coins inside.
"Oh, and if you want to exchange for someone from me again, it will cost you double the gold coins."
Chen Yu was on a nearby rooftop, exactly witnessing this scene.
At this moment, the system had already spread out, with the brain information of everyone in the courtyard appearing in his mind.
Besides the fat man, there were eight other men inside the house, all burly and strong with excellent physical condition.
Two of them even had supernatural abilities.
These people seemed to be from the Divine Eagle Sect, and they were stationed here to capture those who had escaped from the mountain and then bring them back.
But obviously, they hadn’t done so.
This courtyard’s children tallied up to twenty-four in total, all having escaped from the great mountain to the south.
This bunch didn’t send the children back; instead, they used Xiao Chun’s abilities to make money for them, having this little girl earn gold coins every day to exchange for the children’s freedom.
As for the other useless children, they were sent out to beg on the streets.
Knowing all this, Chen Yu became enraged and was about to rush down to take out those big men.
But just as he was preparing to take action, a thin, tall man suddenly burst out of the house, casually picked up a stone from the side, and threw it toward the rooftop.
Chen Yu’s pupils dilated suddenly. His hiding had been done so perfectly that he even released a disruption field in the vicinity, so it was impossible for an ordinary person to detect him.
Regulating his breathing slightly, he leapt up.
The stone that had just been thrown landed where he had been hiding, creating a big pit on impact.
No sooner had Chen Yu landed on the ground than the nine men in the courtyard charged straight at him.
The thin man and another with a red birthmark on his head stared at Chen Yu with a strange intensity.
"Kid, hiding on the rooftop, what were you trying to do?"

Chen Yu was about to speak when Xiao Chun, anxious and panicked, ran over.
"He’s my friend, don’t hurt him, I can use gold coins to exchange for his freedom!"
Chen Yu’s mouth fell open in astonishment; although the little girl possessed the ability everyone dreamed of, she was too naive.
With just the ability to see what’s inside others’ heads, she could go anywhere in the world, needless to waste her time here.
Besides, these people didn’t have anything to control her freedom, to begin with.
But just as Chen Yu was about to let Xiaochun go first, a strange current suddenly emanated from little Chen’s chest.
The little girl immediately became so tormented with pain that she collapsed to the ground.
Chen Yu quickly crouched down and discovered that a tiny electrical device had been implanted under Xiaochun’s skin.
If someone controlled it from the outside, it could release an extremely powerful electric current.
Chen Yu was immediately furious. After all this time, this was how they controlled Xiaochun.
He lifted his finger, and a blue-white light burst forth instantly, pulverizing the miniature electrical device into dust.
The device was small to begin with, so once shattered, it could be expelled from the body through the circulatory system.
Xiaochun immediately felt an immense relief and quickly stood up.

The gaunt man suddenly sensed something was wrong and hurriedly pressed the controller in his hand, but there was no response.
"You little bastard, what did you do?"
The gaunt man flew into a rage, charging forward with fists swinging.
The man with a red birthmark on his head also leapt up, his body quickly expanding until he turned into a large meatball.
With one above and one below, they formed a pincer attack on Chen Yu.
Both men were supernatural ability holders. Once they used the magnetic fields within their bodies, they could undergo strange transformations and become incredibly hard.
Any ordinary person would likely just stand there, waiting to be squashed by them.
Chen Yu’s eyes were filled with disdain as he lightly lifted his hand. The blue-white light flared instantly, directly hitting both men.
The powerful electric current completely dispersed their magnetic fields, causing them to drop hard to the ground.
The seven others who wanted to step forward and help were immediately felled by the electric current and passed out.
"You two are with the Divine Eagle Sect, aren’t you?" Chen Yu crouched down and directly inquired.
The pupils of the two men dilated abruptly. Only those from the Taoist clans knew of the Divine Eagle Sect in this world.
"Are you from the Taoist clan?"
The gaunt man’s body trembled violently.
Although the people of the Divine Eagle Sect didn’t hold the Taoist clan in high regard, the two of them were just emissaries, and besides, the power Chen Yu had shown was too formidable for them not to be frightened.
"Who I am is none of your business. I’ll give you a chance to live. Take me to the Divine Eagle Sect right now, or I’ll kill you both."
The breathing of the two men became rapid. The Divine Eagle Sect was completely isolated from the world, and people only came out at fixed times.
If these emissaries brought an outsider in, they would have only a dead end.
The two men didn’t speak, exchanged glances, then smashed their heads violently on the ground.
Chen Yu’s eyes widened in surprise. He hadn’t expected the members of the Divine Eagle Sect to be so ruthless, sparing not even themselves.
With a sigh of resignation, he turned to look at the children in the courtyard.
"The bad guys here have been dealt with. You are free now. Go wherever you need to go!"
But to his surprise, the group of children showed no sign of leaving; they hung their heads, their faces lost and bewildered.
Xiaochun approached Chen Yu, her doll-like little face full of an age-inappropriate helplessness.
"Big brother, you don’t know, we actually escaped from the Divine Eagle Sect! Although we are truly free now, we have no idea where to go."
Chen Yu naturally knew these things, but he was now on his way to the Divine Eagle Sect and simply had no time to care for these children.
