The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem

Everyone in this city knows that Marquis Moti is gone.

Although there was still an eldest son left in the Marquis's family, he was a useless 21-year-old who was just over the second level and was expelled from the Imperial Capital Academy because of failing grades.

——The Marquis’s family has collapsed, and soon another noble will take over this place.

Precisely because of this conclusion, many people have severed their ties with the Marquis's family and are ready to deal with the next lord.

If the next party is not very powerful, then he can take advantage of the unstable situation to make some money. If the next party is a capable person, then he can use the money that should have been given to the Marquis's family to manage it.

In any case, these people will not do business at a loss.

"Why, you don't dare to go to the Marquis? Then this young master will continue to go crazy."

"Oh, that's not possible, Master! If you want anything, prepare it right away. Please don't smash our goods!"

Aarons isn't too afraid of making a big deal out of it.

After all, this business was originally the property of the Marquis. Even if he set it on fire, it would be a family conflict, and only the Marquis himself could hold him accountable.

Even if the case was reported to the city hall, no one would dare to do anything to Aarons, who was still a noble.

"Anyway, I just heard that because of the lack of a receipt, I can't get the dividend back for the Marquis. So I think this shop can't continue, so I just smash it all!"

"What are you saying, young master? You want to get back the annual payment for the Marquis. How dare I stop you? Hurry up and get the accounts and money!"

Seeing a waiter hurriedly running to the inner room, Aarons stopped his exaggerated performance. He reached out and patted the middle-aged man on the shoulder, and then a chilling sneer appeared on his face.

"Do you have to lose a few gold coins before you can understand the truth?"

"I know I was wrong. Master, please show some mercy... We will give you the bonus right away."

The clerk who went to the inner room quickly brought back an account book and a leather bag. After Aarons took the two things, he threw the heavy leather bag directly to Karin who was standing aside.

"I won't even look at the account. I think most of the records are fake anyway."

"This, how is this possible..."

Because of his experience in his previous life, Aarons is quite familiar with financial fraud.

Even if the store reluctantly paid, it would definitely be much less than what it should have paid.

"Forget it, I'm going to let you go today. If you dare to come up with so many bullshit excuses next time, I'll burn this store down!"

Aarons waved to Karin in a very casual manner, threw away the accounts in his hand, and strode out of the messy Chamber of Commerce store with his head held high.

"What's wrong with this useless young master? Why did he suddenly start to act like a rogue? Go and use the spirit language to notify other shops and tell them to close immediately!"

After finally seeing Aarons off, the sweaty middle-aged man anxiously began to direct his men to clean up the shop which had suffered heavy losses.

However, the people here did not notice that a mysterious man, whose figure was almost completely hidden in a hooded cloak, had been quietly observing everything outside the window from the beginning.

……

After getting the money, Aarons did not bother looking for the next store.

"...This trick can only be used once. These guys will keep each other informed. I guess all the other stores have closed down by now."

"Have you investigated this before?"

"No, just a little experience."

After watching Aarons' performance just now, Karin felt a little confused.

This young master was said to be only 21 years old, but his behavior was more like that of a man in his 40s or 50s. His acting was so smooth that she was even shocked.

How could such a meticulous person be mistaken for a waste by outsiders?

"How much money is there?"

"Eight gold coins and thirty-five silver coins, and some coppers."

"Humph, I guess at least half of it was withheld. But I was planning to quit while I'm ahead, so this amount isn't a loss."

If I really push the other party too hard, then tomorrow a desperate mercenary might come to assassinate me.

The potion he had just wasted was definitely not worth a single gold coin, and there weren't many fragile items on the knocked-over shelves. The store's loss would definitely not be much, and even if he handed over the money, it wouldn't affect the profit.

Aarons, who had rich experience in his previous life, was of course well aware of how calculating businessmen were.

"I guess those guys will leave this city soon and come back after I am replaced by the next lord."

Aarons is not only short of money and manpower, but also lacks time to think of countermeasures and implement them.

Once the news of the Marquis' death is officially made public, he must immediately go to the imperial capital to meet the emperor and let him judge whether he is qualified to inherit the Marquis's territory.

If the emperor believes that Aarons is not capable of inheriting the territory, he will be demoted to an honorary earl or viscount. If he cannot obtain fiefdom again, his family will no longer be nobles after two generations.

The question now is, how long will this buffer period last?

"It's still early, don't rush back, let's go to another place and take a look."

When Aarons was looking up information in the study before, he discovered that the Marquis's family not only controlled the Chamber of Commerce that could generate a lot of income, but also founded many public welfare organizations with huge expenses.

The existence of these institutions has indeed made a significant contribution to the stability of the city. And Aarons once again realized that the Marquis is indeed an excellent lord with noble character and a heart for the common people.

Except for being biased.

"There is an orphanage in the north that takes in children whose parents have unfortunately passed away or have been abandoned. I plan to go and see what the situation is like there."

“Are you worried about those kids?”

"Don't think I'm too kind. I just want to see if I can add some labor to the house."

Because there was only the old gardener Raul left in the Marquis's mansion, and a large number of vacant rooms and facilities were unoccupied and unattended, so Aarons wanted to find some new people to make the mansion a little more lively.

If possible, there would be no problem in moving the orphanage directly into the Marquis's mansion.

"You're not really suitable for playing a villain."

Karin seemed to see through Aarons's duplicity, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Aarons knew that his excuse was not very convincing, so he did not continue to explain.

"...Also, Master, I always feel like someone is following us."

Even though she couldn't use her fighting spirit, Karin's senses were still quite sharp. But Aarons shook his head, seemingly not caring at all.

"It should be those guys from the Chamber of Commerce who are monitoring me. Don't worry about them."

Even though he is a down-and-out incompetent young master, no one in this city dares to cause trouble to him now.
