The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem
Chapter 12: Swagger and Intimidation
"Hey, isn't that the rubbish from the Marquis's family? Why is there a woman with him?"
"With ears and a tail like that, he should be an alien, right?"
"Damn, where did this incompetent young master get such a beautiful foreign woman?"
——This was the reaction of most passers-by wherever Aarons and Karin passed by.
The two would deliberately walk slowly in the middle of the street, forcing the animal carts and land dragons to actively avoid them.
Although this unethical behavior made passers-by indignant, when they saw the Marquisate's family emblem clearly visible on the back of Aarons' shirt, they could only swallow their anger.
Even though the Marquis's family was close to destruction and Aarons, as a waste, was ultimately unable to inherit the territory, he was still a noble of the empire and was directly protected by the imperial royal family.
"Even if I can't become a marquis, the empire will only demote me by two levels."
For noble children who did not have the right to inherit territory, the empire would demote them by one or two levels. And because these people still did not have their own territory, their children would be demoted again according to this rule, until a certain generation completely lost their noble status.
But no matter how low their rank, nobles cannot be offended at will by commoners.
"So even if I'm a loser, they can only talk about it in private. As long as I don't kill people or plunder civilians' property, the Empire will continue to protect my privileges."
This is one of the few things Aarons relies on now. Although this rule can only deter ordinary people who dare not challenge the authority of the empire, it is also quite useful.
"Is it also a strategy for you to take me down the street?"
"Although ordinary people generally don't dare to offend me directly, if someone goes crazy and plans to hire a few desperate people to assassinate me, I have to show them my ability to protect myself."
Of course, since Aarons is almost worthless now, no one would be willing to risk being hunted down by the Empire and spend money to hire someone to take his life.
"I understand. I will do my best to keep you safe."
After hearing these explanations, Karin nodded with some admiration.
She now realized that the eldest son of the Marquis, who claimed to be incompetent and a waste, did not seem to be as stupid as others said.
Even if he never gets the chance to fight in person in this lifetime, this young master should not be looked down upon.
"We'll go to the Yala Chamber of Commerce store to collect the debt in two more streets."
Yara is the Marquise's old surname, and the Chamber of Commerce of the same name was also funded and established by the Marquis and his wife themselves.
Although this Chamber of Commerce itself is just a middleman reselling potions and psychic equipment, it can still contribute dozens of gold coins in profit to the Marquis's family every year.
And Aarons is after their money.
"Hehe, that's it... Just stand behind me and watch. Don't take the initiative to attack if anything happens."
The wolf beauty nodded respectfully, and then the two of them walked one after the other into a three-story building on the street.
"Hey, isn't this Master Aarons? Why did you condescend to come to our little shop?"
A short, fat, middle-aged man with a mustache came out from behind the counter as soon as he saw Aarons.
Aarons curled his lips in disdain. This scene seemed similar to the last time he went to the bank. It seemed like these people were all following the same routine.
"Although I have never been here, you actually know me."
However, when the man saw Karin, who was dressed as a warrior, behind Aarons, the expression on his face became obviously a little panicked.
"You are the son of the Marquis. How could we servants not know you?"
This kind of talk might be able to fool others, but Aarons won't be fooled.
"Well, since you know me, it's easy. I came to you in person today, so I must have something important to tell you."
"You tell me, you tell me, I will do my best to help you solve your problem."
Aarons pretended to be confused and didn't speak immediately, but turned and walked to the shelf on the side. The middle-aged man first dismissed the other tellers, and then followed Aarons.
"I checked the accounts yesterday. Have you not handed over last year's dividends to my family yet?"
"That... you are right, but this matter is usually supervised by your housekeeper or head maid. They will bring the receipt written by the Marquis himself, so that we can check the accounts."
"Oh? You mean, I can't do this?"
Aarons sneered in his heart and barely suppressed the anger in his heart.
Although the unfortunate young master is indeed the Marquis's biological son, his status in the family is actually behind the butler and the head maid.
If it weren't for the fact that he still had the blood of the Marquis, the barrier protecting the mansion would probably have kept him out.
"That's not what I meant. But you must at least bring the receipt signed by the Marquis, so that we can reconcile the accounts. I'm giving you the money now, and if the Marquis blames me, I can't bear the responsibility."
Now almost everyone in the city knows that Aarons is the only one left alive in the Marquis's family, and this man actually wants the Marquis's handwritten receipt in a high-sounding manner?
However, Aarons already knew that this group of people intended to take advantage of the opportunity to embezzle the profits.
"It seems there is no other way. This potion looks good. Can you give it to me?"
"You have a good eye. This is a magic potion made from pure spiritual energy and pure blood of magic beasts. It can instantly restore half of a level 3 person's fighting spirit or magic power. It can be sold for one gold coin on the market."
After complimenting Aarons, the man immediately changed his tone.
"But the things here can't be given to you for free. The Marquis once ordered that even if his own people come here, they must pay the price."
The Marquis has now turned to ashes, and there is no way to verify whether he said this or not.
"So, I can't take everything here for free?"
"Everything in this store is the property of the Marquis. I dare not break the rules."
"Since you say so, then there's no problem."
The smiling man thought that Aarons would back down after hearing this, but he didn't expect that the incompetent and stupid young master suddenly pulled out the cork of the potion and poured the entire potion onto the ground.
"This! This! What are you doing!?"
"This shop is obviously the property of the Marquis' family, but as the eldest son of the Marquis, I can't get the money and I can't take the goods away. So now I am so angry that I have gone crazy and plan to smash all your things!"
While shouting loudly in an exaggerated voice, Aarons picked up several bottles from the shelf and smashed them directly to the ground.
Seeing those precious potions spilled all over the floor, the middle-aged man could no longer maintain the smile on his face.
"Hey! Someone come quickly! The young master has suddenly gone crazy!"
A group of people immediately rushed out of the store, trying to stop Aarons' crazy behavior, but when they saw Karin holding the axe in her hand and ready to chop people at any time, they stopped in fear.
"What? If you dare to touch me, I will send a message to the capital tomorrow and have all your heads chopped off!"
"Hey, this, Master, you can't do this! Let's talk it out!"
After watching Aarons kick down a shelf without hesitation, the middle-aged man finally began to get anxious.
"I am destroying my own property. If you are dissatisfied, go and report to the Marquis!"
