Reborn with Infinity Money System, I was Worshipped by All Universes!-Chapter 258 - 255-Digging a Pit? Your Highness Velen, How Could You Be Made to Do Such Menial Labor!

Seeing Velen remain silent for a long moment, the black-clad man pointed at the three enemy Knight Commanders.

"Kill them!"

Velen said coldly.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

At Velen's command, the black-clad man simply clenched his fist, and the three enemy Knight Commanders instantly exploded into clouds of blood mist.

"Sh*t!"

"So terrifying—those were three Ascended Rank powerhouses!"

In the distance, the Rose Knight Commander almost pissed himself watching the scene unfold.

"Master, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

After disposing of the enemies, the black-clad man prepared to depart.

"Xiao Hei, what do you think of the Titan Galaxy where I currently reside?"

Just as the black-clad man was about to leave, Velen suddenly asked.

Xiao Hei??

The black-clad man froze for a moment, then silently accepted the nickname.

"Master!"

"Your galaxy is far too weak. If I were to unleash my power, I could annihilate everyone here instantly!"

Xiao Hei answered seriously.

"Alright, go on back then."

Watching Xiao Hei disappear, Velen silently thought:

I need to speed up the plan and lead the Fortress to the Upper Plane Universe as soon as possible!

Turning to the still-trembling Rose Knight Commander, Velen quickly reassured him:

"Rose Knight Commander, don't be nervous! I was just visiting Blazing Knight Commander's estate when I sensed you were in danger, so I rushed over to help."

Moments later, after understanding Velen's identity and intentions, Rose Knight Commander knelt in gratitude.

"Your Highness Velen, I, Rose, shall remember this life-saving grace! If you ever have any need, just say the word!"

"Actually, Rose Knight Commander, there is something I need to ask you."

"But let's return to Blazing Knight Commander's estate first."

With that, Velen took out a Spatial Portal device and handed it to Rose Knight Commander.

...

Courtyard of the Blazing Knight Commander's Estate—

"There he is!"

Just as Rose Knight Commander stepped out of the Spatial Rift, he saw a red-haired, one-eyed man wielding a blood-red thin sword disappear into a crimson streak across the sky.

Instantly, he remembered—

Wasn't that the sixth-ranked Tycoon Guard Velen and Xiao Hei had mentioned earlier?

"Arthur!!!"

"You damn bastard! You tricked me and ran away—you call yourself human?!"

Bruised and bloodied, the Blazing Knight Commander raged, searching everywhere but finding no sign of Arthur. Furious, he roared curses into the sky.

"Blazing!"

"That red-haired swordsman just now—was he…?"

Noticing Velen hadn't yet arrived, Rose Knight Commander hurriedly asked, eager to confirm his guess.

"Rose, you're back?"

"Great! Never mind that One-Eyed Swordsman for now—come with me! We're going to Arthur's place! I'm going to kill that bastard!"

Without giving Rose Knight Commander a chance to react, the Blazing Knight Commander immediately descended, activated a Spatial Portal, and vanished in a burst of light.

In his rage, he didn't care at all about wasting a precious teleportation portal.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Confused and worried something might happen, Rose Knight Commander quickly pulled out his own teleportation device and gave chase.

...

"Huh?"

"Where is everyone?"

When Velen arrived back at the Blazing Knight Commander's estate, he found the courtyard deserted, frowning in confusion.

"Forget it, I'll just wait."

"Gathering them one by one is too slow... I need to figure out a way to make all four Knight Commanders act together!"

Muttering to himself, Velen lowered his head in deep thought.

...

Outside the Blazing Knight Commander's Estate—

"Old Ghost, are you sure about this?"

"His Highness Velen is really a star-wealth tycoon and has terrifying guardians?"

Silver Lunar Knight Commander asked Ghost Knight Commander doubtfully.

"Old Silver, it's absolutely true!"

"That red-haired One-Eyed Swordsman who just trashed Blazing Knight Commander? He's one of Velen's guardians!"

"And Kris Knight Commander warned me: if His Highness Velen offers us a reward, we must accept it—no excuses—or the consequences will be dire!"

"Come on! His Highness just returned, and with Blazing and Rose gone, this is our chance!"

Without another word, Ghost Knight Commander led the way inside.

...

"Your Highness Velen!!!"

"How could we possibly let you handle such menial labor!"

The moment the two Knight Commanders stepped into the courtyard, they spotted Velen holding a shovel, digging a pit.

Ghost Knight Commander immediately rolled his eyes and shouted as he rushed forward.

"Huh?"

Hearing the shout and seeing two unfamiliar old men sprinting over, Velen showed a hint of confusion.

"Who are you two?"

He asked, watching Ghost Knight Commander snatch the shovel from his hands.

"Your Highness, I am Ghost Knight Commander, and this here is Silver Lunar Knight Commander. We're both Knight Commanders of the Noyer Kingdom!"

"We just heard about your exploits from Kris Knight Commander. If you need anything, please feel free to command us!"

While speaking, Ghost Knight Commander was already busy digging earnestly.

What?

Was this really the Ghost Knight Commander he knew?

He was buttering up Velen?

Even if the man in front of them was the richest tycoon in the universe, with terrifying guardians at his beck and call—

Wasn't this a bit too much?!

Silver Lunar Knight Commander was absolutely stunned watching Ghost Knight Commander suddenly work so hard.

"Ghost Knight Commander is smart!"

Velen smiled, looking at Ghost Knight Commander, who was now sweating profusely as he dug.

"Ghost Knight Commander, could you dig me a pit that's 30 meters long, 20 meters wide, and 5 meters deep?"

"I won't make you work for free. Tell me—what do you need the most right now?"

Velen asked warmly, recognizing the worth of someone who knew how to act appropriately.

"The thing I need the most?"

Ghost Knight Commander hesitated, then carefully said,

"Your Highness, I'm looking to forge a new weapon... I would need a piece of Starshadow Steel."

What?!

Silver Lunar Knight Commander almost popped his eyes out.

"Old Ghost has lost his mind?! Asking for Starshadow Steel just for digging a pit?!"

"That's an ultra-rare ore from the Singularity Battlefield! Even if His Highness Velen has it, there's no way he would give it away that casually!"

Standing aside with arms crossed, Silver Lunar Knight Commander waited to watch Ghost Knight Commander make a fool of himself.

Meanwhile, Velen asked the system mentally:

"System, you said earlier that welcome gifts or payments can be replaced by special items, right? Digging such a big pit... giving him a piece of Starshadow Steel isn't too much, is it?"

"And giving a slightly bigger piece would be even better, right?"

Velen didn't care how rare Starshadow Steel was.

Someone was working hard for him; rewarding them was only natural.

Besides, it could trigger "extravagant squandering behavior" and earn him more luxury points—why not?

Ding!

"Reminder: a piece too large will exceed the acceptable range."

Huh?

Frowning, Velen suddenly realized—

What he thought was a "small" piece and what the system considered "small" probably had a gigantic difference.
