Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes!-Chapter 282 - 279-Damn It! Those Old Bastards Knew All Along!

Damn it!

Why is it always me who ends up getting hurt?!

Even though this time it's for real, will those three still believe him?

"Lord Velen, perhaps we should send someone else? Maybe Knight Commander Kris instead?"

Taking a deep breath, The One-Eyed tentatively suggested.

"No need to change personnel!"

"This is your specialty—so you go!"

Velen rejected the proposal without hesitation. In his eyes, professional matters must be handled by professionals.

Madness!

The One-Eyed nearly lost his mind at that. He was afraid that if he went again, he'd be kicked straight out by the King and the others!

Meanwhile, the other eight knight commanders had schadenfreude smeared all over their faces.

Serves you right for showing off!

Now look who's the unlucky one!

Sigh…

Seeing that Velen's decision was final, The One-Eyed sighed deeply, then soared into the sky, heading straight for the royal palace.

"Lord Velen, is there anything we can assist you with?"

After The One-Eyed left, the Blazing Knight Commander asked, looking slightly uneasy.

"There's no need for your help this time," Velen said with a smile.

"I'm here for a breakthrough—I just need you all to bear witness."

Thud! Thud! Thud!

As soon as they heard that, The One-Eyed and Kris—along with several others—staggered back in shock!

Too terrifying!

They'd had a suspicion before, but they never expected it to actually be true!

Now, they weren't afraid of Velen wasting wealth—what scared them was Velen suddenly breaking through again!

Their hearts couldn't handle this level of chaos!

"What's wrong with you guys?"

"His Highness just wants to break through—we're just here to watch. Why are you all so terrified?"

Seeing the fearful expressions on the faces of the Uno Kingdom's knight commanders, the commanders from Darknight and the other regions looked confused.

"Blazing, maybe we should run for it!"

"Blazing, we've already witnessed this once—there's no need for a second time!"

"Blazing, since His Highness chose to break through in the Uno Kingdom, it shouldn't concern us. I think we can leave now!"

Hearing the panic in their voices, the Blazing Knight Commander exploded:

"Why are you all looking at me?! When do you ever listen to me normally? Now that there's blame to share, suddenly I'm the leader again?!"

"He's back!"

Just then, Velen turned his gaze to the distance.

When he saw The One-Eyed returning with the King, the Prince, and Galdorin, a smile appeared on his face.

"I told you—when you give the job to the right person, it gets done properly!"

"Huh?"

"The One-Eyed, why does your face look even more swollen than before?"

As The One-Eyed landed, Velen quickly noticed the issue and asked with genuine concern.

More swollen again?

Should I tell him the King and the others thought I was lying again, and beat me up on the spot?!

Just thinking about it made The One-Eyed feel utterly wronged.

He had clearly told them this time it was real, and that they could come and verify it with Velen—yet those three didn't believe a word and gave him another brutal beating!

Never in his life had he felt so wronged!

"Alright!"

"Now that everyone's here, I'll begin the breakthrough!"

Unlike last time, Velen had come prepared—not to prank anyone, but to generously reward everyone afterward with hazard pay for enduring the thunder tide!

Wasn't this the perfect excuse for another round of ostentatious wealth-spending?

And this time, they wouldn't suffer serious injuries—on the contrary, they might even gain benefits!

BOOM! BOOM!

Just then, five terrifying auras erupted into the air.

The One-Eyed, Kris, and three other knight commanders immediately activated their defensive magical artifacts, assuming full combat posture with solemn expressions.

"Are they all crazy?"

"It's His Highness who's breaking through—why are they acting like they're the ones ascending?!"

"This is just a normal thunder tide—what the heck are they so afraid of?"

Seeing the overly intense reactions, the onlookers from the Uno Kingdom were bewildered.

RUMBLE…!

With a rolling clap of thunder, lightning began to converge in the sky—initially just an ordinary thunder tide.

But to everyone's shock, the thunder quickly evolved into a full-blown Thunder Calamity, its pressure equivalent to what should only appear in the Sixth War Zone!

A breakthrough at the Ascended Rank (low-tier) had somehow summoned thunder this powerful?!

Stunned!

Everyone from the Noyer Kingdom was completely dumbfounded.

They had never seen anything this bizarre in their entire lives.

What the hell was going on?

Why did Lord Velen's breakthrough trigger such a monstrous thunder tide?

"Come on, strike me if you dare!"

As the thunder tide fully formed in the sky, Velen raised his middle finger and loudly taunted the heavens!

What the—!

He actually dared to provoke the thunder tide head-on?!

He was clearly declaring war against the will of the universe!

Everyone from the Noyer Kingdom was speechless in awe.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

With each provocation, bolts of thunder rained down with precision—targeting everyone except Velen.

Not a single bolt dared touch him.

"This is a soul crystal. Give it to The One-Eyed."

"This is Starshadow Steel. Pass it to the Ghost Knight Commander."

"This is a Starnight Flower. It's for the Silver Lunar Knight Commander."

…

While the others were busy defending against the thunder tide, Velen sat cross-legged on the ground, casually pulling items out of his system storage like the lightning storm didn't exist.

"Damn it!"

"Those old bastards definitely knew what would happen during His Highness's breakthrough! That's the only way they'd have prepared so thoroughly!"

"They didn't warn us at all—bastards!"

After shouting, the Rose Knight Commander suddenly thought of something.

He yelled, "This thunder tide seems to avoid His Highness—let's all hide next to him!"

Hearing that, the others' eyes lit up and they rushed toward Velen.

"These guys haven't been punished by the will of the universe enough!"

"If you don't let it vent now, you really think it won't come back later for payback?"

Watching the others crowding around Velen, The One-Eyed and the other experienced commanders showed amused expressions.

"Why are those five still resisting the thunder tide?"

"They see what we're doing—shouldn't they come join us?"

"Something doesn't feel right about this…"

King Marcus from Uno Kingdom murmured nervously.

Moments later… fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

When the Thunder Calamity finally dispersed from the sky, Velen stood up smiling and began distributing "hazard compensation" to everyone who endured the thunder tide.

As for the five knight commanders from Uno Kingdom?

They lay collapsed on the ground, completely drained of mana.

They'd already made up their minds—the first thing they'd do upon returning was move!

Sure, there were benefits…

But if Velen came here to break through again and caused another one of these storms, they really wouldn't survive it!

Ding! Congratulations, Host! Special Action succeeded. Reward: 100 million Luxury Points. Reward: 1x Special Mission Card!

"Hm? Another special item?"

Velen raised an eyebrow at the system message.

Special Mission Card: After activation, a unique luxury-spending mission will be randomly triggered!

"That's it? Nothing else?"

Looking at the extremely vague description, Velen frowned in confusion.

Wasn't this a bit too simple?

"Use the Special Mission Card!"

With curiosity bubbling inside him, Velen didn't hesitate.

He was more than ready to see just what kind of extravagant chaos this "special mission" would stir up next.
