Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes!-Chapter 253 - 250-Juice Extraction
Noyer Kingdom, the Blazing Knight Commander's Residence.
"Hm?"
"A Spatial Portal?"
The Blazing Knight Commander's expression instantly turned grim upon seeing the sudden appearance of a Spatial Rift.
Was someone from an enemy nation coming to carry out an assassination and take him out?
At that thought, the Blazing Knight Commander's gaze sharpened, and he immediately turned to notify the others.
However, when Arthur, wrapped tightly in a thick quilt, stumbled out of the portal, the Commander was completely dumbfounded.
He looked up at the blazing sun overhead, then back at Arthur bundled up like a dumpling. His eyes gleamed as he lunged forward and grabbed the quilt.
"Arthur, I freaking knew you were hiding something good! Hurry up and hand it over, there's no one else around!"
"Damn it! Old Madman, stop pulling!" Arthur panicked, desperately clutching the quilt. "There's nothing hidden here! Nothing at all!"
"I swear! If you tear it again, I'll seriously lose it!"
"Still pretending? You must be trying to surprise me!"
The Blazing Knight Commander tugged forcefully — the quilt ripped cleanly in two.
"Holy crap?!"
Arthur's… pride… burst straight into the Commander's line of sight, leaving him utterly shocked.
"Old Madman!!!"
"I swear I'm gonna kill you!!!"
Arthur squatted on the ground, looking utterly humiliated, murder burning in his eyes. "I told you there's nothing! Why the hell did you keep pulling?!"
The Blazing Knight Commander froze for a second before bursting into uncontrollable laughter.
"Arthur, you sly old fox! Still full of youthful spirit, I see! You really hid that well!"
"Come on, be honest. When did you get so strong? You must've secretly eaten something good, right?"
"If you have any goodies, don't hoard them! You have to share!"
Arthur's face darkened. He pulled out Velen's flight artifact with a grave expression. "A very important person will be arriving soon. You will address him as His Highness Velen."
"What important person? A prince from another kingdom or something?"
The Blazing Knight Commander asked curiously.
"He's not a prince from another kingdom," Arthur warned seriously. "But I highly recommend you don't treat him like an ordinary person."
"Let me remind you: the guardian by his side could wipe out all five Knight Commanders of the Uno Kingdom with a single finger."
What?!
One finger to destroy five Ascended Rank powerhouses?
Surely this had to be a joke?
The Blazing Knight Commander gave Arthur a suspicious look. "Old Arthur, you haven't lost your mind, have you?"
Damn it!
Arthur was practically fuming.
He was an upright, Ascended Rank Knight Commander—would he make up such nonsense?
"Old Madman, do you think I'm lying to you?"
Arthur said with utmost seriousness.
"I, Arthur, have always walked the righteous path. When have I ever deceived you?"
Seeing Arthur's solemn expression, the Blazing Knight Commander finally began to panic a little.
Could there really be such a terrifying existence?
And now that terrifying existence was about to arrive?
"Why the hell would I lie to you?!"
"Would you even give me money if I did?! I'm doing this for your own good!" Arthur scolded.
"And listen carefully — this His Highness Velen has treasures beyond imagination. But remember: do not, under any circumstances, feel greed. Otherwise, you won't even know how you died."

Hearing Arthur's words, the Blazing Knight Commander felt a cold chill creep up his spine.
At that moment, another Spatial Rift opened above, and Velen stepped through.
"Hm?"
Velen glanced at Arthur squatting miserably on the ground, then at the shredded quilt, his gaze darting suspiciously between the two men.
"Knight Commander Arthur, what's going on with your blanket?"
Arthur felt a cold sweat break out as Velen stared at him. He desperately wanted to flee.
"Your Highness Velen, I've already introduced you. I'll be taking my leave now."
"I won't be disturbing you. I'll be going now, haha!"
"Very well."
Velen smiled and handed Arthur an inactive teleportation portal before turning to the Blazing Knight Commander.
"You must be the Blazing Knight Commander, correct?"
The Commander nodded cautiously, wariness flashing in his eyes.
"I have a small favor to ask. I hope it's convenient for you."
"Please, Your Highness Velen, speak freely! If it's within my abilities, I will not hesitate!"
"I would like a glass of fruit juice. I happen to have some 'ordinary' fruits on hand and would like you to help juice them for me."
The Blazing Knight Commander blinked in disbelief.
He was being asked, an Ascended Rank powerhouse, to make fruit juice?
That simple?
No terrifying demands? No unreasonable requests?
"Of course, you won't be doing it for nothing,"
Velen said cheerfully, already making calculations in his heart.
Having an Ascended Rank powerhouse squeeze juice — giving some payment was perfectly reasonable.
"System, is offering one hundred thousand high-grade mana crystals for this considered excessive?"
"Ding! Host's action is within a reasonable range!"
Velen pulled out ten Fruits of the Saintess and a goblet forged by Starcraze.
"That's... the Fruit of the Saintess, one of the top ten supreme potion ingredients of the Singularity Battlefield?!"
The Blazing Knight Commander's eyes widened in shock.
This was what Velen called "ordinary" fruit?
In the entire Singularity Battlefield, the Fruit of the Saintess was a treasure so rare that even entire galaxies would fight over it!
Now he finally understood Arthur's earlier warning.
Anyone who could casually call the Fruit of the Saintess a "normal fruit" must be terrifyingly wealthy and powerful beyond measure.
"Blazing Knight Commander, I'll be troubling you."
Velen handed him a spatial ring containing one hundred thousand high-grade mana crystals.
Looking at the ring in front of him, the Blazing Knight Commander felt alarms blaring wildly in his head.
No. No way.
This reeked of a test!
It was absolutely impossible that squeezing some juice would warrant such ridiculous payment!
Without a doubt, this was His Highness Velen's way of testing him!
"Your Highness Velen, such a trivial matter — how could I possibly accept payment for it? I must refuse!"
The Blazing Knight Commander rejected it righteously and with a solemn expression.
"Huh?"
Velen was stunned by his response.
If Arthur, Kris, or the others were here, they would probably be stomping their feet and shouting:
"Are you an idiot?! His Highness Velen's gratuities — and you dare to refuse?!"
Meanwhile.
In the Uno Kingdom, inside Arthur's residence.
"Wait!"
"Why do I feel like I forgot to tell Old Madman something important?"
Lying in bed after returning home, Arthur frowned deeply, an unsettling feeling gnawing at him.
He had a nagging sense that he had forgotten to warn the Blazing Knight Commander about something crucial.
But no matter how hard he thought about it, he simply couldn't recall.
"Oh well, if I can't remember, then forget it!"
After struggling for a while, Arthur simply gave up, turned over, and closed his eyes.
...
Back at the Blazing Knight Commander's residence in the Noyer Kingdom.
"What's happening?"
"What's wrong with these people?"
Watching the Blazing Knight Commander refuse the payment with a righteous face, Velen couldn't help but feel utterly exasperated.
