Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes! - Chapter 83

Chapter 83: Chapter83-The Fire Extinguished by Velen’s Wealth
“Oh, by the way, this potion doesn’t taste very good. But for your future, you must persist and drink every last drop.”

Seeing Caitlin’s excitement, Velen quickly added a warning.

Not very good?

Caitlin heard this but didn’t take it to heart.

As an Ascended Rank Awakener, such minor discomforts were hardly worth considering.

“Rest assured, mentor, I will drink all 100,000 bottles of the Bloodline Upgrade Potion without leaving a single one behind.”

Caitlin responded with firm resolve.

She knew that anything Velen offered had to be precious beyond measure.

After all, Velen was a super tycoon!

And just moments ago, the piercing cold aura that had suddenly descended upon the bathhouse—even as a Lv9 Ascended Rank Awakener, it had sent chills through her very soul!

If that mysterious figure had truly fully manifested, she wouldn’t have stood a chance.

It was proof that Velen was far more than just a wealthy man.

Her respect for her mentor deepened.

Meeting Velen and becoming his mentee—perhaps it was the greatest fortune of her life!

As for the mysterious guardian secretly protecting Velen, she had no intention of prying further.

If Velen didn’t bring it up himself, she would pretend she had never sensed anything.

Velen carried many secrets.

But one thing was certain—he genuinely meant her no harm and was truly helping her.

That was all that mattered.

Seeing Caitlin’s deep, contemplative gaze, Velen suddenly thought of something and asked:

“Caitlin, do you know about Triad Sanctum?”

“I plan to wipe them out in the next few days.

“If you have any lingering ties with them, you might want to sever them now.”

“Aside from that, I have nothing else to say.

“Just remember to drink the Bloodline Upgrade Potion properly!”

With that, the space around Velen shimmered, and he turned to leave.

Caitlin watched his departing figure, her expression first puzzled, then gradually turning icy cold.

“Triad Sanctum actually dared to provoke my mentor? They’re courting death.”

Since Velen intended to destroy Triad Sanctum, as his mentee, she naturally had to support him.

“Pass down my orders—any Triad Sanctum members causing trouble near the academy…

“Eliminate them all. Leave no one alive.”

As one of the top academies in the galaxy, Celestia Academy had always been aware of Triad Sanctum and their underhanded methods.

Previously, Caitlin had avoided getting involved.

But now that Triad Sanctum had chosen the path of destruction, she would wipe them out completely!

Ten minutes later.

“Mentor, what the hell did you give me?! This potion is absolutely disgusting!”

Inside Belle’s room, she clutched her stomach, looking miserable.

A moment ago, Caitlin had given her a single bottle to try.

She drank it in one gulp—and immediately regretted it.

Not only was the taste unbearably awful, but her stomach churned violently, making her feel absolutely wretched!

“So it really is that bad?” Caitlin murmured, deep in thought.

Just one bottle had nearly broken Belle.

Clearly, when Velen had warned them about the taste… he had been seriously downplaying it.

Thankfully, she had the foresight to let Belle test it first.

Still… could it really be that bad?

Caitlin hesitated for a moment before taking a sip herself.

The instant the liquid touched her tongue, an overwhelming bitterness exploded in her mouth.

Her body recoiled, her stomach clenched, and she felt the urge to vomit.

But remembering Velen’s instructions, she forced herself to swallow.

“You must drink all 100,000 bottles. Not a single drop can be wasted.”

“Mentor, this potion is so disgusting—just forget it! You don’t have to force yourself!”

Seeing Caitlin struggling, Belle tried to dissuade her.

But Caitlin shook her head.

“Belle, this is from Velen. It’s invaluable for our bloodlines.

“You must drink every last bottle. No excuses.”

As she spoke, she handed Belle a storage bag.

Belle peeked inside—

Her eyes went wide with horror.

“T-This many?! There must be at least 100,000 bottles!”

Her face went pale.

The sheer quantity was overwhelming.

This wasn’t just a bad-tasting medicine—

It was a nightmare in a bottle!

“Mentor, have you been tricked by Velen?

“This much of such a disgusting potion…

“Is he trying to torture us to death?!”

Belle grumbled furiously, but Caitlin flushed slightly and quickly refuted her.

“What do you mean ‘tricked’? Don’t talk nonsense!

“Velen is your grandmentor—show some respect!

“And drink all of it. That’s an order.”

Belle pouted angrily.

Fine, if her mentor wouldn’t listen, she would go over her head!

She immediately called her sister, Anastasia, prepared to complain about Velen.

The call connected.

But before Belle could even speak…

She heard Anastasia’s voice—gagging and retching in between gulps.

“Belle… ugh… what’s up…? Gulp, gulp, gulp…”

Belle: “…”

“Never mind, sis. Forget I called.”

She hung up immediately.

Then, looking at the storage bag, she sighed in despair.

“Guess I have no choice but to drink this nightmare potion too…”

Suddenly, she remembered something and asked:

“Mentor, I heard you ordered an attack on Triad Sanctum?”

Triad Sanctum wasn’t just any faction—

They were ruthless, known for playing dirty, and once entangled with them, they were like a plague—impossible to shake off.

Even though Celestia Academy was a major power, taking the initiative against such an enemy was unwise.

But Caitlin’s expression remained calm.

“Velen plans to wipe out Triad Sanctum.

“It won’t be long before they cease to exist.”

Belle’s eyes widened in shock.

“Velen is actually planning to destroy Triad Sanctum?!”

That was insane!

Triad Sanctum wasn’t some small-time gang—they were notoriously vicious.

Did Velen really have the strength to take them on?

…

Or had Caitlin misheard?

Maybe Velen wasn’t planning to destroy them—

Maybe he was planning to buy them out instead?!

The Next Morning

Velen woke up feeling refreshed.

Stretching lazily, he opened his system interface.

New Special Item: Forging Mastery Compendium ×9999!

Description: Insights from Upper Plane Universe master blacksmiths.

“Greatly enhances forging skill proficiency!”

Velen’s eyes lit up.

This was a rare treasure!

For ordinary people, reading one book could instantly make them a low-level blacksmith.

For a master like Ethan, the benefits would be tremendous.

“Velen, do you need my help with anything today?”

Ethan walked in, rubbing his hands eagerly, a flattering smile on his face.

He knew Velen spent lavishly every day.

And since he was the only one around, if Velen was going to show off his wealth, he’d surely reap the rewards!

Velen glanced at him and suddenly thought of something.

“Senator Ethan, what is your greatest wish?”

Ethan hesitated, then sighed.

“To be honest, I’ve always wanted to forge a top-tier artifact of my own.

“I once dreamed of forging an Lv9 Furnace.

“But after seeing you casually produce ten of them in one go…

“That dream just… lost all meaning.”

Velen: “…”

So… my casual flex… actually crushed a master blacksmith’s life goal?!
