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

The elderly man seemed travel-worn and was dressed very plainly.

The security staff on the perimeter of the shopping center saw the old man and adopted an overbearing attitude.

Just as they were preparing to stop him, Chen Yu hurriedly greeted him.

"Mr. Victor, how come you're here all of a sudden?"

Victor, panting heavily, handed a transfer contract to Chen Yu.

"I came in a rush and didn't have anything good to give. This is a property of mine in Cyprus, consider it a celebration gift for you."

Chen Yu's eyes widened in disbelief; he had seen the property of the William family in Cyprus—it was a castle with a history of over six hundred years.

That place was also a highland fortress, one of the few historic buildings of its kind in the West.

"Old sir, this gift is simply too generous…"

"Mr. Chen, just take it," Victor insisted, as he stuffed a file bag into Chen Yu's arms.

"I didn't know what to give you when I was on my way here. After much thought, I decided this was the only gift that would befit your status. Besides, this property has already caught someone's eye. Better to give it to you than to have it forcibly taken away!"

His words were indeed sincere. Now, the Edward family was closing in on the William family, seizing who knows how many of their assets.

How could the Edward family overlook a premium asset like the castle in Cyprus?

Chen Yu found it difficult to refuse and accepted the gift.

"Mr. Victor, we've launched a new health-conscious menu here, you should try it."

Victor sighed helplessly.

"I am in quite a hurry, there's a pile of things to deal with in Frankfurt—I must return by tonight, I'm afraid I cannot stay here longer."

After greeting everyone present, Victor left with an apologetic expression on his face.

"The entire William family must be in crisis! His visit here might be a cry for help, and the Cypriot asset is his visiting gift."

Tong Ming, being an old hand, pointed out Victor's true purpose outright.

Chen Yu frowned slightly; he was in the midst of a career upswing, in great need to expand the overseas market to a significant extent.

Although he already had a substantial number of orders, they would not be enough after the expansion of the industrial park.

If he could take this opportunity to fight against the William family and at the same time weaken the Edward family's presence in Europe, maybe he could influence the economy there to some extent.

Chen Yu did not hesitate to share his thoughts with Tong Ming and Chu Jianghe.

After a brief consideration, they immediately had their subordinates form a visiting team to head to Europe with Chen Yu.

Chen Yu did not wait for the visiting team; instead, he set off in advance with Han Xiaohui and Jin Lingsu.

All these ancient royal families had already caused quite a turmoil.

The Edward family, in alliance with a tremendous amount of capital, were continuously harvesting assets in the West, with many small and medium-sized enterprises being directly swallowed up by the Edward family.

The battered Charlie family had no choice but to join forces with the William family, alongside some other industries that had been edged out by the Edward family, to combat them.

When Chen Yu arrived at Frankfurt airport, the posters everywhere immediately caught his eye.

He had seen Brown Edward before, appearing on posters in various forms.

It was as though he had become the ruler of this land.

Next to him, Fang Yuan was revered like a queen.

Chen Yu glanced at the posters indifferently and then turned away.

Outside the airport, a business Mercedes was parked steadily, and a mild-mannered middle-aged man was waiting there respectfully.

Seeing Chen Yu come out, he hurriedly rushed forward to greet him.

"Mr. Chen?"

Chen Yu nodded, "Are you Mr. Liu Mu?"

Liu Mu didn't dare to delay and quickly opened the car door.

The thirteenth floor of the Wanlong Department Store was a property of Chu Jianghe in Frankfurt.

Originally, he had intended to develop a red wine business here, but unfortunately, there had never been a suitable project to dock with, so it had been left idle.

When Chen Yu arrived, he found the office had only a few simple furnishings and, apart from a cleaning lady, it was empty.

Liu Mu felt somewhat embarrassed, "Mr. Chen, this place has been abandoned for a long time. Mr. Chu has already instructed us to provide whatever you need, just tell me directly, and I'll take care of it immediately."

Chen Yu didn't answer right away but turned to look at Han Xiaohui beside him.

"Can you speak German?"

"I have no problems with day-to-day communication!"

Chen Yu directly pushed Han Xiaohui forward.

"Mr. Liu, take Xiao Hui with you. She'll tell you what's missing, okay?"

Liu Mu was somewhat disbelieving, as Han Xiaohui had also just arrived here. Merely having glanced at the room, how could she possibly know what was needed?

Before he could react, Han Xiaohui had already headed downstairs, seeming to be very familiar with Frankfurt.

Chen Yu casually moved a chair and sat down.

"It seems the situation here is not optimistic. Many enterprises have been controlled by the Edward Family, even William's family has been suppressed very, very tightly."

Jin Lingsu let out a long sigh, "The Edward Family has not only one influential backer behind them, in just less than two months, they've already reached such volume. It's truly astonishing."

Speaking of which, Jin Lingsu took out some documents from her belongings.

These were the information she had collected on her way here, which nearly encompassed all the basic information of everyone in the Edward Family at the moment.

She specifically picked a few files and placed them in front of Chen Yu.

"This person is called Carter Edward, he's Brown Edward's second uncle, and he's currently the head of the Edward Family's advisory group. If you want to restrain the Edward Family, you'll probably have to start with him."

Chen Yu had seen this man at Fang Yuan's wedding.

At that time, he seemed very unremarkable, and Chen Yu hadn't expected him to have such capabilities.

The others were all elites from the Western world, and many of them quite well-known.

After briefly reviewing these people's information, Chen Yu had a simple plan form in his mind.

It wasn't long before Han Xiaohui and Liu Mu hurried upstairs with a bunch of items.

The items were not many, and they looked very miscellaneous, but each was extremely practical.

After arranging the items, Han Xiaohui directly got into work mode, requiring no instructions from Chen Yu.

Liu Mu, on the other hand, looked depressed, standing there somewhat at a loss.

He didn't even know what he should be doing now.

"Mr. Chen, if there's nothing else, I won't stay any longer. There are some matters to be handled back at the company."

Chen Yu didn't say much, just acknowledged Liu Mu, and saw him off.

Soon enough, Han Xiaohui had organized all those scattered files on the table, and she even found additional information about these people from the news.
