Although he had been away for less than half a month, the current Moti City seemed somewhat unfamiliar to Aarons.

He actually didn't like this city very much - there were almost no people here who were friendly to him, and there weren't many good memories for him.

If the former young master was not an incompetent person, would the world be kinder to him?

"It's getting late. Let's just walk around the street, eat something, and then go to the Marquis's Mansion to rest."

Although most of the things were moved away, basic daily necessities and furniture were still retained in the Marquis's Mansion.

Aarons originally planned to give this place to the third prince Roland, but after Cliya said, "Let him find a way to raise money to buy the Marquis's Mansion," Aarons had no choice but to leave the house vacant here temporarily.

——This elder sister has always been very strict with her younger brother.

"Marquis, which do you think is better, here or where you lived before?"

"Before...I really still like my previous life."

Although Aarons' life in his previous life was not very eventful, he liked his hometown, which was very lively and full of human touch.

"Although it's lively here, it has nothing to do with me... and most people are looking forward to seeing me being lively, which is really hard to like."

"If you found a way to go back, would you choose to go back?"

"will not."

Jiang Yue originally thought that Aarons would be hesitant and wavering because of this question, but Aarons directly gave a brief and firm answer.

"You feel that your original life is not good, right?"

"No, even though I failed many times, I still miss those times... I just don't like to look back."

Even though he didn't have any successful experiences worth boasting about in his previous life, Aarons still liked his life at that time.

"I just think that if you look back too many times, you lose the courage to move forward. I've failed so many times, and if I keep looking back, then I really won't have a chance."

"…So, you have abandoned all the things in the past?"

"The past cannot be thrown away, I just stop looking at it."

Aarons was already halfway through his previous life, and there was almost no possibility of further progress.

So when he came to this world, he started to move forward without hesitation - even though he didn't have much strength, he never chose to turn around and run away.

"You are really open-minded."

"Ha, after all, I don't have any special abilities. If my mentality is still so bad, there's no point in living."

It was not until this time that Jiang Yue discovered a fact that was hard to accept.

——Although the two did not hide their identities, no one cared about Aarons' existence in this crowded street.

...Even if others treat him coldly like this, he doesn't care?

"Ah, it looks like there's something edible over there, let's go take a look."

After being stunned for a few seconds due to thinking, Jiang Yue suddenly realized that Aarons' back at this moment seemed to overlap with the figure of someone in her memory.

……

"Well... to be honest, I really want to hire a professional chef."

"Chef? Are you dissatisfied with the food at the base?"

When the two men walked into the street where many snack vendors were doing business, Aarons expressed a strange idea.

"Maybe the food I ate in the past was too good, so I always feel that the food here lacks flavor. And no one in my family is particularly good at cooking... At least what I cook is better than what they cook."

“I haven’t studied this seriously.”

Although the food in this world is not bad, Aarons, who was used to eating delicious food in his previous life, still felt that the food here lacked some flavor.

Aarons felt helpless when he saw that most of the stalls were selling simple foods that were fried and sprinkled with salt.

——You will definitely get tired of eating this kind of thing all the time.

"Okay, just buy something to eat, let's just go to that one—"

However, just when Aarons was about to buy some fried food to take back, he suddenly saw a familiar figure in front of a stall.

She was a woman wearing slightly tight dark clothes, with her left arm hung in front of her chest with several rough bandages, and the ends of her waist-length black hair tied together neatly.

Although she was wearing a mask that completely covered the upper half of her face, anyone with a discerning eye could see that her eyes were fixed on the food displayed by the vendors, and she seemed to be hesitating about something.

"Ah...it's fate."

Aarons not only recognized the woman's identity immediately, he even saw through her embarrassment at a glance - so after sighing, he took out two silver coins from his pocket and took the initiative to walk to the stall.

"Could you please give me two of each of these, and give that lady a separate portion... Hey, can you handle spicy food?"

"M-Mr. Marquis?! Why are you here..."

"Forget it. I'll just assume you don't like spicy food. Here."

Maybe it was because she was a little distracted, but the woman didn’t finally react until Aarons turned around and started talking to her.

When Aarons handed the woman a package of fried snacks, she became visibly overwhelmed.

"You, you are... I, I..."

"How do you become a mercenary? Don't you know to collect a deposit before accepting such a mission? Isn't it a bit too pitiful that you don't even dare to buy food?"

Although Aarons didn't know why the other party appeared here, he quickly understood the reason for the other party's troubles.

——Even the injuries she suffered before were treated so sloppily. This girl must be penniless now and has no place to stay tonight, right?

"No, I just..."

"My Lord, is this lady someone you know?"

"There are too many people here, let's go somewhere else."

Because he didn't want to attract unnecessary attention, Aarons directly pulled the woman to a relatively quiet place on the street. After confirming that no one was paying attention to them, Aarons answered Jiang Yue's question.

"You asked me if I knew her. Of course I knew her. After all, she had tried to kill me twice before. How could I not know her?"

"…Is it the mercenary from before?!"

After reaching out to stop Jiang Yue who was about to take out her weapon and kill the other party on the spot, Aarons turned his attention to the female mercenary who had tried to "assassinate" him twice.

"I don't think she would try to complete a commission without even a deposit in this state... Don't you think so, Miss Mo Qianyun?"
