Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes! - Chapter 81

Chapter 81: Chapter81-The Cunning Charles
“Ugh!”

The moment the potion touched his tongue, Velen’s face twisted in disgust, his expression turning as sour as if he had just swallowed pure misery itself.

This potion wasn’t just bitter—it felt like his very soul was tasting a never-ending wave of bitter melon.

He felt downright depressed.

“System, this is just cruel!”

“You told me this stuff just had ‘a slightly bad taste’—but this is worse than drinking piss!”

Velen furiously complained to the system, unable to tolerate it any longer.

The system gave a calm response.

“Host, Bloodline Enhancement will not show significant benefits now. Its true power will only manifest in the Upper Plane Universe. Whether or not to continue enhancing bloodlines is up to you.”

Hearing this, Velen was stunned.

So the real value of Bloodline Power would only be fully realized in the Upper Plane Universe?

That was great news for him!

At that moment, Aiden and the others saw Velen struggle with just one bottle of the potion.

They shook their heads in dismay.

“Velen, I think my bloodline is already decent.

“Besides, I’m not young anymore—I’ll sit this one out.”

Ethan was the first to step forward, his expression looking rather conflicted.

The others hesitated as well.

Sure, the Bloodline Upgrade Potion was incredibly valuable, but they feared that if they drank too much, they’d be permanently depressed from the sheer bitterness.

Velen glanced around and immediately saw through their hesitant thoughts.

“If you don’t want to participate, fine.

“But if you ignore my request, that one-eyed, red-haired madman surely won’t be as forgiving.”

A dangerous smirk played at Velen’s lips.

Ethan had been ready to argue, but the moment he thought about that man, he shuddered violently.

That guy’s first words upon meeting them had been about eating people—he was as cruel as he was terrifying.

Most importantly, he was fanatically loyal to Velen.

If Velen gave an order, he would execute it without question.

Just then, Ironback Centipede was the first to grab a bottle of Bloodline Upgrade Potion.

He chugged it down without hesitation, his eyes widening in delight—as if he were savoring a fine delicacy.

He understood the true fear that the one-eyed, red-haired man inspired.

Just thinking about it made his heart race.

Compared to drinking this awful potion, he would much rather endure the bitterness than face that monster’s wrath.

Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!

Before anyone could react, another person started downing the potion in rapid gulps.

To everyone’s shock, it was Victoria!

Anastasia and the others stared blankly.

What’s going on?!

Just moments ago, Victoria had been the most vocal opponent of drinking Velen’s potions.

Now she was gulping them down like her life depended on it?

Who the hell is that red-haired madman?!

Anastasia was even more bewildered.

As Victoria’s closest friend, she knew her well—Victoria was just as stubborn as she was.

Once she made up her mind, she never changed it.

Yet, just hearing Velen mention that man had made her terrified enough to submit instantly!

Ethan, who had personally witnessed the red-haired madman, was already shaking in fear.

Without another word, he tilted his head back and chugged more potion.

“Velen, I’ve already had 303 bottles.

“Just give me the rest in a storage bag—I’ll drink them later.

“As a Senatorial Advisor of Fortress, I must set an example!”

“And besides, we’re lucky that you’re generous enough to share such valuable potions with us.

“How could I possibly refuse?”

Ethan’s voice rang out righteously.

The others froze.

Wait, what?!

Who the hell was this one-eyed red-haired guy?

Ethan was an Ascended Rank Lv9 Awakener, a Master Blacksmith, and a Berserker.

Yet even he feared that man to the core?!

Many of them had never seen this so-called madman, but they could already feel the unseen pressure weighing down on them.

If even the strongest members of Fortress were terrified, then it was obvious—anyone who refused to drink the potion would suffer the consequences!

“Velen… how many secrets are you hiding?”

Anastasia felt like she understood him less and less.

The more she learned, the more mysterious he became.

And judging by Ethan, Ironback Centipede, and Victoria’s reactions,

Something major must have happened at the blacksmith shop earlier—something she still didn’t know about!

After gulping down potion after potion, the group felt like their tongues had gone numb from bitterness.

Their stomachs were bloated, and they couldn’t take another sip.

Ethan pounded his chest, forcing down the lingering potion in his throat.

Then he turned to Velen.

“Velen, we killed Simon and the Triad Sanctum members.

“That Grand Senator of theirs will find out soon enough.

“And knowing his personality, he will come here for revenge!”

“Is that Grand Senator really that strong?” Velen asked.

Ethan nodded grimly.

“That Grand Senator is extremely cunning.

“He specializes in poisons—he’s infamous for using them to wipe out entire bloodlines without leaving a trace.

“Among Ascended Rank powerhouses, he’s one of the most feared.

“Many people dread him, because he never fights fair.

“If he sees he can’t win a direct battle, he’ll poison his enemies from the shadows.

“He’s an insidious bastard—a true snake in the grass.”

Even Ethan, at his level, couldn’t guarantee survival if he got poisoned by Charles.

That’s why he was warning Velen now.

Velen frowned—this was going to be tricky.

How do you defend against someone you can’t see coming?

Just then, the system’s voice chimed in.

“Mission Triggered: Lead 10,000 Pre-Guardians and Annihilate Triad Sanctum!”

“Mission Success: +300,000 Luxury Points.”

“Mission Failure: -300,000 Luxury Points.”

“Mission is optional.”

Velen blinked in confusion.

“10,000 Pre-Guardians?”

“System, you once said Guardians are spread across the universe.

“But that one-eyed red-haired guy told me there were only ten of them.

“Why doesn’t the number match up?”

The system responded.

“Anyone wearing gold armor is a Pre-Guardian.”

“Only those who have fully regained their true power can be considered full Guardians.”

Hearing this, Velen was even more confused.

“System, shouldn’t real Guardians be sent to help me if I’m in danger?”

“Your current universe is too weak.

“Even Pre-Guardians are more than enough to handle all threats.”

“So whenever you’re in danger, the system randomly assigns someone.”

Velen’s expression froze.

“Wait… you’re telling me my backup is chosen by a RANDOM LOTTERY?!”

The system remained silent.

Velen felt speechless.

But as he checked his status screen, his Luxury Points had already reached 618,210.

If he completed the Triad Sanctum mission, he could surpass 900,000 points—bringing him to Elite Rank Lv9!

“System, is Triad Sanctum really that dangerous?”

“Why send 10,000 Pre-Guardians?”

“They’re just bored. They want to go out for some action.

“Triad Sanctum is weak.”

Velen burst out laughing.

So this was just a vacation trip for them?!
