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

Chen Yu started preparing immediately after he received the recipe.

The six chefs beside him conscientiously assisted Chen Yu with the preparation.

Everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion, and it wasn't long before the rich aroma of steak wafted from Chen Yu's side.

In contrast, the Zeus Alliance's side was in complete disarray.

They mobilized eight people to chop vegetables, but no matter what, they couldn't get it right.

By the time Chen Yu finished making a complete set of Beef Wellington, they had only just finished processing the ingredients.

Although they had intended to give Chen Yu a hard time, not only did they fail, but they also ended up being outmaneuvered.

The judges at the scene sighed at the performance of the Zeus Alliance; the competition had not yet ended, but the result was already evident.

Fang Yuan stood on the stage, her throat moving continuously.

Chen Yu's performance over the past two days had exceeded her expectations; it was no longer appropriate to describe it as merely superb culinary skills—it was truly the performance of a culinary god.

This was a world-class competition, and once it concluded, Chen Yu would naturally earn the title of Culinary God and even secure world-class fame.

Fang Yuan knew that the fame she possessed was insignificant in comparison to world-class fame.

The determination she once had to fulfill the terms of the bet suddenly wavered.

She wanted to abandon her current public persona, give up everything she had and remarry Chen Yu at any cost.

Given Chen Yu's current capabilities, it wouldn't be long before he could earn not just three billion but perhaps even thirty billion.

With such a man by her side, what need was there for her to continue struggling so desperately?

However, when she saw Tong Ya, hugging Chen Yu with great intimacy, she became frozen again.

"Do I really have no chance anymore?"

After muttering to herself, Fang Yuan put down the microphone and stepped off the stage.

She had already heard the organizers discussing in the backstage to end the competition today.

Her presence here had become valueless.

Before long, the organizers announced the end of the challenge, with Chinese chefs achieving a complete victory.

As a reward, ten of the Zeus Alliance's restaurants in Europe were distributed to Chinese restaurants.

The Tong Group, represented by Chen Yu, acquired three of them.

The competition had ended, and Chen Yu and Tong Ya had just left the competition venue when a SUV approached from a distance.

Chen Yu suddenly had a bad premonition and instinctively pushed Tong Ya to the side.

As expected, the SUV drove straight towards Chen Yu.

A loud roaring noise erupted as the SUV, with Chen Yu in its path, crashed through several pillars before coming to a halt.

Immediately after, a large number of fully armed assassins appeared nearby, swarming towards them.

Chen Yu was dazed by the collision, and despite his strong physique, the impact had left his head spinning.

The assailants, seeing that Chen Yu was not dead, were also startled for a moment.

They quickly reached Chen Yu and injected him with a syringe.

Then they dragged him into the vehicle and sped away.

Everything happened too swiftly, and only at this point did the people at the scene realize what was happening.

Tong Ya hurriedly got up, calmed herself down in the shortest time possible, and immediately made calls to the relevant authorities.

William and Bai Qiu, who had come out together, also began to mobilize their connections.

...

"Congratulations, Host, for completing a day's business. Today's net profit is 1,935,600 yuan, earning 1,935,600 points. Your current total accumulated points are 3,953,780 points."

Chen Yu's body shuddered slightly as he was jolted awake by the system's notification.

A wave of cold air hit him, causing him to shiver uncontrollably.

From the damp environment around him, he seemed to be in a cave, but the darkness enveloped him so completely that he couldn't discern any direction or time.

However, judging from the system notification, it should now be 8 p.m., Friday, local time!

Dragging his somewhat heavy body, Chen Yu shakily stood up, only to feel his bones cracking and popping.

This must have been because his skeleton was misaligned from being squeezed into a small space for a long time.

With a vigorous stretch, the misaligned bones in his body instantly snapped back into place.

"Kid, not bad at all. It took me two full days to realign my bones after I was captured, but you managed it in just an instant."

A cold voice with a hint of allure suddenly sounded from beside him, startling Chen Yu.

"Who are you?" Chen Yu immediately became alert.

"Don't rush. Just get used to the darkness here, and soon you'll be able to see me."

Chen Yu adjusted his breathing slightly, trying to stay calm. It wasn't long before the surrounding environment began to slowly come into view.

Right across from him, not too far away, lay a rather unkempt woman who seemed to be in her thirties.

She was bound with five thick chains that were embedded in the stone wall.

Chen Yu shifted slightly, trying to get closer.

But to his surprise, he was shackled with the same kind of chains as the woman.

"You're quite something, kid, to receive the same treatment as me. It seems those guys value you highly. How did you offend them?"

Chen Yu felt depressed. To tell the truth, he didn't even know why he was here, let alone anything else.

"Who exactly are they?"

The woman paused for a moment: "You don't know who they are, and you got captured? You really are an odd one."

Chen Yu let out a sigh and said no more, instead focusing on the iron chain in his hand, slowly starting to exert force.

The woman raised an eyebrow: "Don't bother, those chains are made of a special material, no matter how strong you are..."

She was cut off as a clanging sound suddenly erupted. The iron chain in Chen Yu's hands had been forcefully torn apart.

Chen Yu proceeded to do the same, dismantling all of the chains wrapped around his body.

"Holy crap! Are you even human? With such strength, quickly come over and help me out. Once we're out, I'll reward you handsomely."

Chen Yu couldn't help furrowing his brows; he still didn't know this woman's identity, but she was already getting chummy with him.

But since they were both caught and brought here together, they shared a common plight, and it wouldn't hurt to help her out.

Moreover, the woman had a serious injury on one leg; the external wound was already festering.

Even if she were free from the chains, walking would be a problem, and she posed no threat to Chen Yu.

No sooner had he unshackled the woman than the door to the cave thunderously opened.

A muscular but slightly deformed man, carrying two meals, walked in nonchalantly.

When he saw the scene before him, he froze on the spot, instinctively raising the weapon in his hand.

Before he could pull the trigger, a large hand clasped around his throat.
