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

"How dare you insult me?!"

Leon's face darkened instantly upon hearing Velen's words.

"How dare you insult me!" he repeated, seething.

"Insult you?" Velen raised an eyebrow.

"I'm simply stating the truth."

"If someone is handsome and others call him ugly, he won't get mad—because he knows it's just jealousy."

"But if someone is genuinely ugly and others say so, they'll erupt in rage—because deep down, they know it's the truth!"

Boom!

Leon's mental state shattered on the spot!

Sure, he had always known he wasn't exactly easy on the eyes, but never before had anyone humiliated him like this. Let alone saying it to his face. This was rubbing salt right into his open wound!

"Look, look! You're angry again!"

"What does that say? It means you're fully aware of your own appearance!"

Velen, completely unfazed by Leon's clenched fists and shaking frame, delivered another merciless blow.

Boom again.

Leon was mentally destroyed.

"Darius, don't bother with Aedida for now. Help me take care of this bastard first!"

Despite his raging fury, Leon remained rational.

Though he couldn't detect Velen's exact power level, he could tell this guy was definitely stronger than him.

Wait... Aedida was here too?

Velen looked surprised upon hearing Leon's words.

Bang!

With a single magic-enhanced kick, Velen sent Leon flying back into the guest room and stepped in right behind him.

To Velen, a Titan Rank Level 8 like Leon was hardly worth a second glance.

So what if he was on the Rising Magi Rankings? Rankings reflected potential—not current power. And potential couldn't close a gap this wide.

"Prince Velen?"

"Careful, Your Highness! That old guy is an Ascended Rank Level 9 powerhouse—he's endured seven Thunder Calamities!"

Seeing Velen enter, Aedida was stunned at first, then quickly issued a warning.

An Ascended Rank Level 9 expert?

"Eye of Annihilation!"

Before Aedida even finished, Velen activated the Eye of Annihilation.

In the blink of an eye, the elder disappeared from their view.

Both Aedida and Leon froze in disbelief.

What the hell just happened?!

"By the gods…"

"That scared the life out of me. No wonder Electros's soul trembled in fear before Velen… One look from him really could destroy the world!"

Aedida, still recovering from the shock, was overcome with relief. He was genuinely glad Velen had simply bought his ranking instead of challenging him. If they had dueled, Aedida probably wouldn't have survived even a single glance.

"We're screwed…"

"We've kicked a steel wall this time. He wiped out Darius with just a look—no way even the Aurora Council would dare to cross someone like that!"

"What do I do now?"

"Would he spare me just because I'm ugly?"

Leon, who had just struggled to his feet, collapsed again in fear. His brain spun rapidly, trying to think of a way out.

"Your Highness Velen!"

"What are you doing here?" Aedida asked after regaining his composure.

"I heard through special channels that a genius from the Rising Magi Rankings was here. Thought I'd check it out."

"Didn't expect to run into such a moron instead!"

Velen pointed at the still-shaken Leon.

"Aedida, who the hell is this idiot? Why is he trying to kill you?"

"Uh… Your Highness, this idiot's name is Leon. He's ranked eighty-ninth on the Rising Magi Rankings. Ironically, he's probably the very genius you came to see…"

Aedida looked helpless as he explained.

"What?"

"This ugly fool is the so-called genius?"

Velen looked like he'd just heard the world's worst joke.

"Enough!"

"You can call me a moron, but you may not call me ugly!"

Leon finally exploded at the word "ugly," his last nerve snapping.

Clang!

Right as Leon burst out in anger, Velen casually tossed a spatial ring onto the floor in front of him.

"Inside are one billion advanced mana stones. They're all yours—if you admit you're ugly."

Velen stared at him calmly, expression unreadable.

"H-H-How much?"

"One… billion… advanced mana stones?"

Leon couldn't believe his ears. He frantically picked up the ring and scanned its contents.

"It's real… It's all real! Every last stone in here is high-grade!"

"Your Highness Velen, I'm ugly!"

"I'm not just ugly—I'm an ultra-super-ugly freak! Hahaha!"

Faced with that mountain of riches, Leon abandoned his pride without a second thought.

"Robbery!"

Just as Leon was laughing with glee, Velen's voice rang out again.

A gleaming blade was suddenly resting against his neck.

By the gods!

Aedida, standing to the side, was utterly stunned by Velen's theatrics.

"You really thought I'd let you walk away with my billion mana stones after calling yourself ugly? Dream on!"

Velen reclaimed the spatial ring and handed it back to the system immediately.

This amount of wealth went far beyond what his luxury point quota allowed—if he didn't return it, who knew how many points the system might deduct?

"Your Highness Velen!"

"When did you reach Titan Rank Level 9 peak?"

"A few days ago, when you bought my rank, you were just Level 1!"

Even the soul inside Aedida couldn't stay quiet. Aedida turned to Velen in astonishment.

"Right after I bought your rank, I went home and broke through to Level 9 peak."

"Basic stuff. Nothing to fuss about."

Velen chuckled as he saw the shocked look on Aedida's face.

"By the way, didn't that guy just try to kill you?"

"He's yours now. Do as you please."

"I'll be going. Thought I'd find a promising genius, but turns out he's just an ugly fool. What a mood killer."

And with that, Velen turned and left the guest room.

"Wait… did I forget something?"

After leaving, Velen suddenly paused, frowning slightly.

"Oh crap!"

He slapped his thigh in frustration.

He'd just remembered—he forgot to let his official Tycoon Guard out for some fresh air!

He never should've used Eye of Annihilation on that Darius guy…

"Ah, whatever. What's done is done."

"Now that I've got nothing better to do, I might as well swing by the Singularity Battlefield. Could be a good spot to splurge a little… maybe even find a decent apprentice."

The moment that thought crossed his mind, his energy returned in full.

Ding! New Mission Released:

"Eliminate native spellbeasts in Sector 6 of the Singularity Battlefield. Gain 100,000 luxury points for every spellbeast defeated of equal rank. Kill 300 equal-rank spellbeasts to complete the mission. This task is optional."

Hearing the system's sudden announcement, Velen smiled.

With over 40 million luxury points in hand, this welfare mission would earn him another 30 million. Add in the 30 million he'd get once Justin finished those three sculptures, and his total would reach 100 million.

At that point, he could break through to Hero Rank Level 9 peak!

"Soon… I, Velen the Tycoon, shall stand as an Ascended once again!"
