Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes!-Chapter 152 - 149-Do You Know What You Did Wrong?

Hearing the system’s response, Velen nodded in satisfaction. Even though he couldn’t upgrade the fortress to flaunt his wealth, he could still strengthen the faction backing his mentee.

Caitlin was just an appetizer. The Tarot Order—now that was a truly formidable force. Flaunting his wealth there would surely yield him even greater rewards!

With that thought in mind, Velen temporarily suppressed his ideas and prepared to hand over the Divine Glaze Barrier to Caitlin.

But then, something occurred to him. When they first parted ways, he had given Caitlin plenty of valuable resources—had she even used them?

"Caitlin, back in the Singularity Battlefield, I gave you ten million advanced mana crystals and told you to flaunt them as much as possible and use them up quickly. It’s been so long—have you still not spent them all?"

Velen’s expression was serious as he stared at Caitlin. He had already received a wealth-flaunting reward from Sophia, but nothing from Caitlin. That was completely unacceptable for a mentee of a tycoon!

Under Velen’s stern gaze, Caitlin shrank back slightly, feeling a bit intimidated.

"Mentor… I haven’t used them all yet…"

In truth, it wasn’t that she hadn’t used them—it was that she couldn’t bear to!

That was ten million advanced mana crystals!

Not to mention the Delirium Petals and dragon blood that Velen had also given her. These were priceless treasures, impossible to come by easily. Using them recklessly would be an absolute waste.

She simply couldn’t bring herself to use them.

Velen wasn’t surprised by her response. Caitlin had grown up in Celestia Academy, where she was taught by three old-fashioned headmasters.

If she hadn’t developed a habit of frugality, that would have been strange.

But now that she was his mentee, her old habits had to be completely broken!

Otherwise, taking her in as a mentee would have been a waste.

"System, this Divine Glaze Barrier was a reward for upgrading Celestia Academy’s formations. However, I’ve had a change of plans. Will this item be taken back?"

Velen suddenly asked.

The system responded:

"No. Once the system gives out an item, it will not be taken back."

"As long as the host upgrades Celestia Academy, the system will issue rewards. How those rewards are used is entirely up to the host."

After hearing the system’s detailed explanation, a smile spread across Velen’s face.

As expected of the Tycoon System—it was truly generous!

With this setup, he had a way to lead Caitlin onto the path of wealth-flaunting!

"Caitlin, take me to see those three headmasters first."

Velen suddenly smiled.

Caitlin had already braced herself for Velen’s anger, but instead, he changed the topic.

Realizing that she could keep her advanced mana crystals and other precious materials, Caitlin breathed a sigh of relief.

Without hesitation, she stepped forward to lead the way.

As Velen walked deeper into Celestia Academy, he could feel the oppressive weight of negative emotions emanating from various halls—only to be quickly purified.

The deeper they went, the stronger the Holy Light energy became. By the time they reached the academy’s central grand hall, the surroundings were enveloped in pure white radiance.

Shortly after Caitlin led them inside, an elderly man in a wide robe with hair as white as cotton appeared before Velen. Behind him stood two dignified, graceful women.

Upon seeing Velen enter, their gazes turned sharp.

"You’re Velen, the so-called mentor Caitlin speaks of?"

Lucifer, the leading headmaster, spoke with clear disdain and skepticism.

Velen had expected these three old headmasters to have this attitude, so he remained unfazed.

"That’s me."

Hearing his firm response, Lucifer and the other two exchanged glances, each seeing the same look of surprise in the other’s eyes.

From the moment they laid eyes on Velen, they could tell he wasn’t an Ascended Rank powerhouse. A careful examination only confirmed it—he wasn’t even close!

If he wasn’t an Ascended Rank, what right did he have to be Caitlin’s mentor?

They glanced at Caitlin, expecting to see her looking down on Velen. Instead, she showed only deep respect.

This left them completely baffled.

Was Velen some kind of hidden master, playing the fool?

As Lucifer wrestled with his doubts, Velen suddenly turned to Caitlin.

"Caitlin, you are my first mentee, and I hold you in the highest regard. Where are the hundred Delirium Petals I gave you? Take them out."

Delirium Petals?

One hundred of them? What, did he think they were potatoes sold in bulk?!

Lucifer and the other two headmasters stared at Velen in shock, unable to believe their ears.

They had only ever heard of Delirium Petals in ancient records and had only seen them once in the Singularity Battlefield. The academy itself had never obtained even a single one.

Yet Velen claimed to have given Caitlin one hundred?

Caitlin hesitated, uncertain of Velen’s intentions, but still retrieved the hundred Delirium Petals from her storage ring.

The black flowers floated in the air, their petals swaying gently as they released an intoxicating fragrance.

Lucifer and the other two headmasters widened their eyes in shock, staring at Caitlin in disbelief.

Velen had actually given her one hundred Delirium Petals?!

"Three headmasters, do you know what mistake you made?"

As Lucifer and the others remained frozen in shock, Velen’s expression turned serious.

The three headmasters exchanged confused glances.

Mistake?

What mistake?

"Velen, out of respect for you being Caitlin’s mentor, we have shown you courtesy. But your nonsense is out of line!"

"What mistake could we have possibly made? Even if there was one, you have no right to lecture us!"

"Exactly! If you don’t explain yourself clearly, we’ll have a serious discussion about this!"

The three headmasters spoke one after another, their expressions turning cold.

Caitlin, after recovering from her initial shock, also looked at Velen in confusion.

Velen ignored them and turned to Alan.

"Crush those hundred Delirium Petals."

"What?! Delirium Petals are incredibly rare! How can you crush them?!"

Lucifer and the others immediately shouted in protest, their eyes filled with panic.

"This has nothing to do with you. These are mine, given to Caitlin, and I decide how to use them."

Velen shot them a glance before instructing Alan again.

"Do it."

Without hesitation, Alan took out a mixologist’s pestle and shaker, tossing the Delirium Petals inside and beginning to grind them down.

Though Alan knew how precious Delirium Petals were, he had seen Velen’s extravagant habits before.

Crushing a mere hundred Delirium Petals? That was nothing.

Thud. Thud. Thud.

The sound of grinding echoed through the hall as the Delirium Petals turned into black pulp.

Lucifer and the other headmasters turned pale, their eyes bloodshot.

Those were Delirium Petals!

And one hundred of them—completely ruined!

"Caitlin, bring out the hundred Wraithwood as well."

Hearing Velen’s words, Caitlin felt like she was bleeding inside.

She had painstakingly preserved these treasures, and now, Velen was about to destroy them all.

Yet, she knew these were gifts from Velen meant for wealth-flaunting. Since she hadn’t used them, it was only fair for him to take them back.

Even though she was heartbroken, she retrieved the hundred Wraithwood from her storage.

Velen accepted them with a bright smile and turned to Lucifer.

"Now, three headmasters, do you understand your mistake?"

Seeing yet another batch of legendary treasures in Velen’s hands, Lucifer and the others shuddered, their voices trembling.

"Velen… what are you trying to do?"

"We did nothing wrong! This is outrageous!"

Velen simply turned to Alan.

"Continue."

As Alan began crushing the Wraithwood, Lucifer and the others turned deathly pale, their entire beings trembling in despair.
