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

"It's time to teach him a proper lesson. If we keep indulging him, he'll keep wasting time, wasting our energy, and squandering such an incredible talent!"

Mark chimed in with agreement.

"Besides, this time he left and didn't learn anything useful. Instead, he picked up all sorts of strange and useless things—completely undisciplined!"

The more he spoke, the more agitated Mark became.

After all, in his eyes, Kidd was a once-in-a-millennium sword prodigy, yet not only did he fail to cherish his talent, but he also actively resisted it. He simply couldn't understand what was going through Kidd's head!

Perhaps they had spoiled him too much.

Mark made up his mind—he needed to teach Kidd a lesson to make him realize the true path to success!

With that decision, Mark didn't waste any more words. In a flash, he appeared in front of Kidd, raised his right hand, and swung it fiercely toward Kidd's face—a slap so swift that it howled through the air!

Feeling the chilling wind rushing toward him, Kidd, who had long been prepared, instantly released his Judgment Sword Qi!

In an instant, an overwhelming and oppressive sword aura erupted from him, spreading in all directions with him at the center.

"This is…"

The Grand Senator, being the most sensitive to sword energy, narrowed his eyes as he sensed the aura bursting from Kidd's body. Then, his eyes suddenly lit up.

A Great Swordsman!

Kidd had actually become a Great Swordsman!

Smack!

Just as Mark's slap was about to land on Kidd's face, a crisp slap rang out first—only it wasn't Kidd who was hit.

Instead, Mark was sent flying!

"Step aside! Kidd is clearly a diligent and hardworking child. He doesn't need punishment—he needs encouragement!"

After sending Mark flying with a single slap, the Grand Senator immediately rushed to Kidd's side, fussing over him with great concern.

Meanwhile, Mark, who had landed on the ground, stared at the Grand Senator with a face full of grievance.

A moment ago, the Grand Senator had been the most enthusiastic about teaching Kidd a lesson. And now, all of a sudden, he was the one in the wrong?

A short while later.

The three of them sat inside the hall, where Kidd had already laid out a pile of glowing stones on the table.

The entire hall was bathed in a soft, radiant white light.

Starry Stones!

A massive amount of Starry Stones!

Neither Mark nor the Grand Senator could believe their eyes.

After all, Starry Stones were incredibly rare treasures. To obtain even one was considered an extraordinary stroke of luck.

Yet now, Kidd had casually taken out a pile of them as if they were nothing more than roadside pebbles.

No matter how they looked at it, it was completely unbelievable!

"Kidd, where did you get all these Starry Stones?"

"Since when were Starry Stones so common? And what exactly do you plan to do with so many?"

Both men stared at Kidd, trying to read his expression.

Sweeping a guilty glance at the two, Kidd hesitated before answering:

"Grand Senator, Mark, I plan to use these Starry Stones… to build a toilet."

The hall fell into a brief but absolute silence.

Kidd gulped, finally breaking the eerie stillness.

Mark and the Grand Senator were utterly speechless.

Good heavens!

Unbelievable!

Had Kidd lost his mind?

Such priceless Starry Stones, and he wanted to use them to build a toilet?

Was his brain malfunctioning?

The two exchanged glances and came to a silent agreement—Kidd needed urgent medical attention!

Under their intense, unkind gazes, Kidd suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

"Kidd," Mark said solemnly, "the Grand Senator and I both agree that you're sick. And not just a little sick—a lot!"

"But don't worry, we have a cure. It'll just hurt a bit, so bear with it!"

Before Kidd could react, the two of them each punched him in the eye.

What followed was a merciless round of punches and kicks.

The Next Morning

When Velen woke up from his slumber, the first thing he did was check the system interface.

Today's Special Product: 1000 Tempered Soul Stones.

Tempered Soul Stones: Containing a vast amount of pure soul energy, these flames can refine the soul, enhancing both its level and purity.

After reading the description, Velen shook his head slightly.

Although these would be valuable to other Awakeners, he already had plenty of Soul Stone Essence that he hadn't even finished flaunting.

Now, with these Tempered Soul Stones, which served the same purpose of refining the soul, it felt redundant.

His resources were already overflowing—no matter how precious they were, they were useless to him.

Stretching lazily, Velen stepped out of his courtyard and unexpectedly saw William and Corner sitting at his doorstep.

Especially William—he was wearing ragged, beggar-like clothing and looked absolutely miserable.

However, despite his sorry appearance, Grand Senator William seemed completely indifferent to the world's judgment.

To Velen, this only reinforced his impression that William had an incredibly stable and powerful inner will, immune to any mental corruption.

Sensing this, Velen couldn't help but acknowledge that Grand Senator William was truly unfathomable—willing to embrace such a bizarre and non-mainstream artistic act just to temper his mind.

"System," Velen suddenly thought of something, "can I use Fate's Trojan to confirm if my actions count as flaunting wealth?"

"Fate's Trojan can observe both past and future. Determining whether an action qualifies as flaunting wealth is well within its capabilities."

The system's response made Velen's heart burn with excitement.

Fate's Trojan was far more powerful than he had imagined!

Now that he had the system's confirmation, Velen exhaled in relief before directly consulting Fate's Trojan:

"If I give these Tempered Soul Stones to Senator William, would that be considered flaunting wealth?"

To keep things simple, Velen deliberately kept his question straightforward.

"At present, William has fully embraced his role as a wanderer, experiencing the joy of being unrestrained and free in the world. Giving him Tempered Soul Stones would absolutely count as flaunting wealth."

Hearing the system's response, Velen's mouth twitched slightly.

He hadn't expected the strict and disciplined Grand Senator William to have such a hidden side.

But it also proved just how resolute William truly was.

To increase his power, he was even willing to endure such an embarrassing ordeal!

With such determination, was there anything he couldn't achieve?

Without hesitation, Velen placed all the Tempered Soul Stones from his system inventory in front of Grand Senator William before heading toward Alan's courtyard.

Clang, clang, clang!

The sound of Tempered Soul Stones clattering against the ground echoed through the air, catching Corner's attention.

His ears twitched as he turned toward the source of the noise.

When he saw the mountain of grayish Tempered Soul Stones, his entire being was consumed with jealousy.

My god!

These are Tempered Soul Stones!

Even one of these could fetch an astronomical price at an auction!

Yet here, there were at least a thousand of them!

He had known that Velen was generous, but this level of generosity was beyond imagination!

As Corner stared in envy, William slowly opened his eyes, scooping up all the Tempered Soul Stones in his hands with an expression of pure ecstasy and pride.

He knew it—

As long as he stayed close to Velen, he would reap enormous rewards!

"So many Tempered Soul Stones… I don't even know how to use them all!"

William glanced at Corner with a smug smile before bursting into laughter and walking away.

His actions only made Corner's rage boil over.

"I need to get back at him! I must find a way to pray to Velen before anyone else notices!"

With that thought, Corner immediately rushed off in the direction Velen had gone.

As Corner continued forward, he suddenly stopped a few steps ahead, his gaze fixating curiously on a broad-shouldered, aura-laden figure—Sunlord Apollo.

He didn't recognize Apollo, but the presence emanating from him left him feeling uncertain and perplexed.

What was this man's true strength?

"I am Corner, a consecrated senator of the fortress. And you are?"

Hearing Corner's inquiry, Apollo briefly curved his lips into a professional smile before introducing himself:

"I am Apollo. I just joined the fortress yesterday. Currently, I am... a servant of the fortress."
