Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes! - Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Chapter40-This Guy Is Simply a Monster

Velen was momentarily stunned as he listened to Belle’s words, staring at her in disbelief.

Belle didn’t seem very old, so how could her level be so terrifying?

Unable to believe it, Velen hurriedly asked the system, “Is it true? She’s about the same age as me. How could she be so powerful?”

The system replied, “She is indeed Hero Rank level 9, and the sealing artifact is the diamond pendant she wears around her neck.”

Hearing this, Velen was even more surprised. Belle was truly extraordinarily gifted!

At such a young age, to have reached such an awe-inspiring level of power—she was already on par with Anastasia!

“I’m from Uranus Star, part of the Watchers’ Legion. My name is Velen. Never heard of it, have you?”

Velen looked at her and added, “Good, you’re not supposed to have heard of it!”

With that, he turned and left.

“Uranus Star, Watchers’ Legion?” Belle muttered to herself. Indeed, she had never heard of such a place.

It must be a small planet, she thought.

And as for the name Velen, it was completely unfamiliar to her.

“You must be from some remote corner of the galaxy, right? Places like that usually don’t even have teleportation bases. How do you possess such talent and strength?”

Belle continued following him, her curiosity about Velen growing deeper.

Velen glanced at her chest and said, “If you want to know, hand over the diamond necklace you’re wearing first.”

At first, Belle thought Velen was a pervert staring at her chest, but she quickly realized he had seen through her disguise!

Her expression shifted slightly—she had underestimated Velen.

After all, her disguise had never been seen through before.

“I’ve never heard of Uranus Star, but you must be from Titan Galaxy, right? Have you heard of the House of von Michelstein?”

“The House of von Michelstein is one of the most prestigious forces in Titan Galaxy. If you leave your so-called Watchers’ Legion, I can help you join the House of von Michelstein. It would be greatly beneficial to you!” Belle said confidently.

Hearing this, Velen looked at her with a surprised expression. She seemed to have a close connection with the House of von Michelstein.

House of von Michelstein?

Velen’s expression turned a little odd. While he didn’t know much about other galaxies, there was only one House of von Michelstein in Titan Galaxy!

“You know the House of von Michelstein? What’s your relationship with Duke Michelstein?” Velen asked slowly, looking at her.

“Duke Michelstein is my father!” Belle crossed her arms and looked down at Velen, as if expecting him to be dumbfounded.

After all, in Titan Galaxy, the Ducal Manor was a giant, its fame widespread.

Surely Velen, someone from a small corner of Titan Galaxy, would be utterly shocked.

Indeed, upon hearing her words, Velen’s face showed genuine astonishment.

This person was actually Anthony’s daughter!

Now that he looked closely, she did resemble Anthony to some extent.

“What’s your relationship with Anastasia?” After his initial shock, Velen quickly asked.

Anastasia was also Anthony’s daughter, but she had never mentioned Belle before.

“You know my sister?” Belle looked at Velen suspiciously.

She was well aware of her sister’s reputation in Titan Galaxy. Few dared to address her by name, as most referred to her respectfully as “the Little Duchess.”

Sister?

Velen’s astonishment grew, and he nodded.

“Of course I know her. We’re quite close. The Watchers’ Legion on Uranus Star was established by your sister. She’s the captain, and I’m the vice-captain!”

Upon hearing this, Belle was even more taken aback.

She knew her sister’s talent and pride. Almost no one could catch her eye, and she was only interested in leveling up. How could she place such importance on Velen?

Curious, Belle pressed Velen for more details about his history with Anastasia.

When Velen mentioned that he had been recognized as an independent senator by the five senators of the House of von Michelstein, Belle was utterly dumbfounded.

She knew very well that while her father, Anthony, held the highest apparent authority in the Ducal Manor, the real power lay with the five senators of the council.

If Velen was truly an independent senator, his status was equal to the other senators. Even she would have to address him as “Senator” and bow in his presence!

The fact that Velen was also a friend of her sister made it even more complicated. She could casually address him by name as a friend, but as a senator, she couldn’t speak so informally.

Once Velen confirmed her identity, he couldn’t help but take a closer look at her and chuckled.

“I never expected the House of von Michelstein to have such a talented member. This senator is quite impressed!”

Belle’s cheeks turned red with indignation at Velen’s cheeky adoption of his senator identity to take advantage of her.

“What kind of senator has such poor decorum?!”

Seeing Belle’s annoyed expression, Velen smiled. At the same time, he began pondering what kind of gift would be appropriate for such a talented member of the Ducal Manor.

Not only was she Anastasia’s sister, but she was also a top-tier talent from the Ducal Manor. Giving her something like an SSS Tome of Skill Experience seemed too plain and unworthy of his tycoon status.

As for the Afterlife Flower, he didn’t have many left, and both Kevin and Robert had been eyeing them for some time.

A Starry Stone?

That was something he still needed, and Belle probably didn’t have much use for it.

What about giving her some dragon blood?

After all, from Belle’s aura, he sensed the same suffocating pressure he felt when facing Senator Jake’s powerful physique.

“Belle, are you a berserker?” Velen asked.

Belle glanced at him in surprise. “How did you know?”

She had completely concealed her aura, so other awakeners shouldn’t have been able to discern it.

After receiving confirmation from Belle, Velen’s lips twitched.

A seemingly frail and delicate young woman was actually a berserker. He could hardly imagine what she’d look like in combat—did she turn into a humanoid T-Rex?

“Although I feel like you’re not lying, the position of independent senator is extremely important. The council wouldn’t grant it lightly. I still need to confirm this with the Ducal Manor. If you’re lying…”

Belle glared at Velen as if trying to etch his face into her memory.

Before she could finish her sentence, Velen opened his palm, revealing a blood-red orb that radiated an intense and pure vitality. A domineering dragon aura emanated from it.

Dragon blood!

The moment she saw it, Belle instantly recognized it. Her pupils constricted in shock.

For berserkers like her, the blood of spellbeasts provided immense benefits. Dragon blood, in particular, was the ultimate elixir!

“This is from a dark dragon that reached Ascended Rank level 9. You should know how precious its blood is. Call me Senator Velen, and I’ll give you a drop.”

“If you doubt my identity and don’t want to say it, then forget it…”

As he spoke, Velen made a show of withdrawing the blood.

Belle’s gaze was already glued to the dragon blood. Seeing Velen about to take it back, she quickly exclaimed,

“When did I ever doubt the independent senator? Senator Velen is a member of the Ducal Manor’s council, and of course, I should greet him properly when I see him! Senator Velen is the best…”

Toward the end, Belle even adopted a playful, coquettish tone, her voice sweet and charming, making Velen’s heartbeat quicken.

“Very good! That’s the kind of talent worthy of the Ducal Manor!” Velen said, clearly satisfied, as he handed over ten drops of dragon blood to her.

Belle stared at the dragon blood in disbelief, her mouth agape.

This was dragon blood!

And not just any dragon blood—Ascended Rank dragon blood!

Velen had just handed it over to her, and not just one drop, but ten!

From that moment on, Belle no longer had any doubts about Velen’s identity as a senator.

Someone who could casually produce ten drops of dragon blood had no reason to lie to her!

Moments earlier, she had thought Velen was just a bumpkin from some backwater planet. Now, it seemed she was the one who looked like an ignorant native!

As Belle dazedly accepted the ten drops of dragon blood, Velen chuckled. At the same time, he grew curious.

Since Belle was a berserker, could she also be a blacksmith?

Many berserkers learned forging skills. After all, blacksmiths, like alchemists, were highly respected and lucrative professions.

With that in mind, Velen deliberately tossed a Starry Stone into the air and caught it again.

“Starry Stone!?”

Belle instantly recognized the item and gasped, her body trembling with excitement.

This item was incredibly rare and priceless!

“Do you want this Starry Stone?”

Belle nodded repeatedly. Who wouldn’t want something so precious?

Velen, however, shook his head. “Even if you want it, I’m not planning to give it away right now.”

Belle: …

If you’re not going to give it away, why flaunt it?

What’s the point of showing off?

Belle gritted her teeth, glaring at Velen with indignation.

Seeing her reaction, Velen burst out laughing. Letting her experience the harsh realities of life early on—he figured it was a small contribution he could make as a senator for the Ducal Manor.

Watching him laugh, Belle clenched her delicate fists. If it had been anyone else, she might have taken action to snatch the item.

But Velen was an independent senator, and she couldn’t act recklessly—especially since he was also her sister’s friend.

How could this guy have so many treasures?

“Senator Velen, how did you meet my sister?”

“And how did you become an independent senator?”

Belle eventually suppressed her frustration and voiced her confusion.

She knew her sister too well. Since childhood, Anastasia had only cared about leveling up and reaching the upper plane universe. She hated dealing with unnecessary trouble and paid no attention to matters within the Ducal Manor.

How could she have become friends with Velen?

And as for the Ducal Manor—one of Titan Galaxy’s most prestigious forces—even the most talented individuals struggled to gain entry. How had someone as young as Velen become a high-ranking independent senator?

None of it added up!

Velen patted his chest and said, “At the end of the day, it’s because I have just a little too much money.”

“Becoming your sister’s vice-captain cost me 100,000 gold coins. As for becoming an independent senator, that required 10 million advanced mana stones and an enhanced version of the Starlight Array.”

Hearing this, Belle frowned. Why did Velen’s explanation sound so unreliable?

“Velen, do you really think I’m that gullible?”

“Advanced mana stones are incredibly rare. The output across all galaxies is extremely limited. Even in the Singularity Battlefield, they’re hard to come by. The most top-tier factions can produce each year is around 1,000 stones, yet you’re talking about 10 million? That’s absurd!”
