After divorcing my celebrity wife, I became the world's richest person-Chapter 552: The Grace of Upbringing

Chen Yu was somewhat befuddled, unsure of what Xu Linjun really meant.

Just then, the elevator suddenly entered an emergency stop mode, and not long after, two men who looked like thugs hurriedly scrambled out.

"Xu, you’ve gone too far, have you forgotten who allowed you to take the position of tower master?"

Xu Linjun let out a wild laugh, and suddenly retreated next to Chen Yu.

"Sect Leader Chen, today I will use you to help me wipe out these beasts in human clothing."

Before Chen Yu could react, Xu Linjun’s magnetic field power quickly concentrated, forming a massive fireball, and charged straight at the two thugs.

Lin Chuhe also seemed to think of something, immediately pulling out two spherical explosive devices from his body and flinging them out.

The two thugs, caught off guard as they walked out of the elevator, were directly blown away by the fireball and explosive devices, slamming hard into a stone pillar.

Chen Yu couldn’t bother with anything else, and directly stepped forward to pin the two thugs to the ground, as a blue and white light instantly entered their bodies.

"Sect Leader Xu, if I’m not mistaken, these two are also the Deputy Hall Masters of your core card, how could you strike your own people?"

Rage filled Xu Linjun’s eyes.

"I’m not one of them! Since Sect Leader Chen has asked, I will no longer conceal the truth."

Xu Linjun took out a palm-sized cylindrical object from his body and threw it on the ground.

"The reason those fellows wanted me to be the tower master is because the Core Tower needs someone with innate abilities to be its master, so they can unscrupulously research transformation devices here."

Chen Yu immediately understood what Xu Linjun meant.

And he also scanned information from the minds of the two fallen Deputy Hall Masters.

Put plainly, Xu Linjun was nothing more than a puppet of these Deputy Hall Masters, with no say in the daily affairs here.

When necessary, even he, the tower master, might become a subject of research.

Chen Yu patted Xu Linjun’s shoulder.

"If you are willing, I can help you eliminate these Deputy Hall Masters, then take all the Core Tower’s innate superpower users to the Xuanqing Sect, which is where you truly belong."

Xu Linjun became excited immediately; he had long harbored an endless yearning for the sects of the Dao.

However, there were many sects within the Dao, and he had previously been rejected by some when he reached out for an invitation.

Now that the Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Sect had personally invited him, he couldn’t be happier.

"Sect Leader Chen, I thank you right here!"

Lin Chuhe hurriedly stepped forward.

"There’s no need for courtesy between you two here. It’s not good for us to stay here now; the remaining Deputy Hall Masters might be on their way here."

Xu Linjun didn’t care about that, drawing a card from his person.

"What’s there to fear? Can’t the three of us together beat the remaining ones? Let’s head to the top floor now, and show them what real innate superpower users are like."

As his words fell, he directly swiped open the adjacent backup elevator, and the three unhesitatingly stepped inside.

Jin Lingsu also wanted to go up but was stopped by Chen Yu. This was a battle between innate superpower users, and Jin Lingsu simply couldn’t participate.

The elevator quickly reached the top floor, and as the three stepped out, the remaining eight Deputy Hall Masters were already seated in the main hall.

The middle-aged man at the forefront stood up, a broadsword with a ring pommel suddenly appearing in his hand.

"Xu Linjun, you really are a traitor through and through, to think you would bring outsiders and rebel against us."

Xu Linjun snorted coldly without saying much. The magnetic field around him immediately stirred into action, and a large amount of fire appeared around him.

Eight middle-aged men rose to their feet at the same time, their eyes changing into various colors, their powers erupting forth in full force at this moment.

Chen Yu could tell at a glance what these guys were up to, all the magnetic field power in their bodies came directly from a box in the center of the hall.

It seemed like some sort of magnetic field conversion device was installed here.

Just as both parties were about to clash, Chen Yu’s body suddenly shot out like lightning, directly to the center of the hall, raising his palm and viciously smashing it down.

A thunderous crashing sound immediately arose, and the huge box instantly turned to powder, while the magnetic fields of the eight Deputy Hall Masters also disappeared in an instant.

All eight men’s eyes widened in shock, their faces filled with rage.

"What the hell did you do, you little brat?"

"How did you know about the stuff in the box?"

"Damn kid, are you choosing to be an enemy of the Core Tower?"

...

The eight men were emotionally charged, cursing loudly, yet not one dared to make a move.

Xu Linjun also charged forth, grabbing an old man and lifting him up.

"Jin Sanhuai, when the Core Tower was established, you told me to gather all naturally-born superhumans with no place to call home from around the world and bring them here, so they could peacefully live out the rest of their lives! Why has it come to this?"

Jin Sanhuai’s breathing suddenly became rapid. When he had created the Core Tower, he did it coveting the unparalleled power these people possessed.

Simply wanting to transfer that power to his own body, he lured those naturally-born superhumans here, using their genetics for his research.

"Xu Linjun! Now that you’ve captured me, if you want to kill or flay me, it’s your prerogative, but I won’t be telling you anything else! However, I hope you remember that I was the one who picked you up from the desert."

This statement was somewhat of a moral hijacking.

Back when Xu Linjun was stranded in the desert at the age of six, it was Jin Sanhuai who had picked him up, raised him, and even made him a tower master of the Core Tower.

Such a favor was considered an immense grace by any standard.

Xu Linjun suddenly hesitated, not truly knowing how to repay years of nurture and favor.

Chen Yu suddenly appeared between the two, pushing Jin Sanhuai to the ground with a shove.

"You brought him back just because you coveted the power he had, didn’t you? Cut the crap about raising and granting great favor; you are not worthy at all."

Xu Linjun finally realized and raised his foot, stomping down hard on Jin Sanhuai’s shoulder.

"That’s right, had you not detected the anomaly in my magnetic field, you probably wouldn’t have brought me back and would rather have left me in the desert to be devoured by wolves."

Actually, he was well aware of Jin Sanhuai’s true intentions in bringing him back.

Now, many ordinary people within the Core Tower had superhuman abilities that were extracted from his genes, a replication of the Fire Ability.

He had long since become intolerable of this.

At that moment, a thunderous rumble suddenly came from outside, and the impregnable Core Tower actually began to shake.

Through the windows, one could see the city not far away collapsing, as if something was trying to burrow up from the ground.
