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

William Booker was a cautious businessman.

Not only did he send his men to welcome the princess, he also took the initiative to contact the news media in Moti City and made public the letter given to him by Her Royal Highness the Princess.

As an extra layer of insurance, he also invited several reporters to travel with his subordinates - even if this was really a trap, these innocent reporters would become an obstacle for the other side.

——Then, he quietly left Moti City with a few bodyguards.

……

"I see. Then please help me warn those reporters not to act with those people."

"No problem, but brother-in-law...what if they don't listen?"

"You will suffer the consequences at your own risk."

After briefly exchanging information with the third prince, Aarons began to make the final arrangements - now that Xia Ye was not around, the person he would consult with became Jiang Yue.

I don't know if it's because of some special sense of competition, but today Jiang Yue deliberately changed into a similar outfit to Xia Ye. The standard office outfit of a white shirt, short skirt, black stockings and high heels doubled the charm on this intellectual and mature woman.

...Although Aarons tried his best to stay calm, his eyes still glanced down unconsciously several times.

"Marquis, do you have any other concerns?"

“…It seems not.”

"Ms. Spider will arrive above the target location tomorrow to help us correct the parameters. You just need to drive over with Miss Wolf to pick up Her Royal Highness the Princess and Miss Sheep."

And precisely because he didn't need to do anything deliberately, Aarons felt a little uneasy.

It’s not that he doesn’t believe in other people’s abilities, but he feels that there is no value in his existence since he can’t help.

"I was just thinking... after the company can run stably, will it no longer need a boss?"

"What are you talking about?"

After realizing that Aarons started saying strange things again, Jiang Yue took the initiative to move in front of him - she supported herself on the desk with both hands and leaned forward greatly, instantly narrowing the distance between them.

"Did the businesses you ran in your previous life not need bosses?"

"No, it's just..."

Someone else would probably be able to do a better job than himself - looking at Jiangyue's face so close to him, Aarons still didn't dare to say this out loud.

“…I just feel like I can’t be of any help.”

"You've helped us a lot, shouldn't you relax once in a while?"

"No, if I relax...someone else will get hurt for me."

After hearing this, Jiangyue's expression became serious.

She slowly withdrew her body and stared at Aarons for a long time. It was not until Aarons began to get a little nervous that she finally spoke her mind.

"Marquis, do you still want to continue listening to the story I told you last time?"

"...Last time?"

"When you come back this time, I will continue to tell you that story."

Although Aarons had no idea what he would hear next, Jiang Yue's expression at this moment made him feel inexplicably anxious.

……

The next morning, several of William Booker's confidants brought the mercenaries they hired in the territory to the temporary stopping point of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Although the group invited media reporters to travel with them before they set off, for some reason almost all of the reporters chose to follow them remotely, so in the end only two people traveled with their team.

Of course, they don't mind this little problem.

"Is that fortress magic okay?"

"No problem. As long as the barrier is deployed, even level 5 magic will not be able to break through the defense."

"This ancient magic is so powerful. No wonder the young master specially collected so many of them."

The confidants did not think they would encounter any danger, because they had received a defensive ancient magic scroll from their young master - as long as the magic could be successfully activated, they would be able to save their lives even if they were bombarded by warships.

Moreover, they were wearing protective gear that could withstand one or two level four attacks, so they had enough time to react even if they were attacked by surprise.

So it was natural that the confidants completely ignored the princess and Aarons.

"Let's go! Let the people here see how we, the Duke's family, do things!"

……

However, when these dozens of people left Moti City and arrived at the place where they were scheduled to meet the princess, they immediately saw a strange scene.

The princess and her attendants were indeed here - but for some reason there was also a man wearing a loose black robe, with the upper half of his face covered by a strange red mask, and dressed in an extremely strange way.

At this moment, he was standing on a four-wheeled vehicle of a strange shape, as if he was deliberately looking down on other people.

"You're really here. I'm getting a little impatient waiting."

As the man's pretended deep voice sounded, the confidants also discovered their target at the same time - the princess in black clothes and black skirt and the white-haired alien woman with curly horns were standing on both sides of the man at this time, and they didn't look like they were seeking help at all.

This is obviously a trap.

"What? You are...you are the Honorary Marquis of Aarons, right?!"

"Exactly. Someone said that I've been too stressed out lately, so I decided to come here to relax."

"Damn it! It's a trap! Get ready to fight!"

After hearing these words, the confidants, who were conceited but not stupid, immediately understood the situation - the princess and Aarons had deliberately staged a play in order to lure their young master into a trap.

But these people miscalculated, the heir to the Duke's family had already seen through their tricks.

"To tell you the truth, our young master knew long ago that this was a trap! With your level of ability, you want to murder the heir of the Duke's family? You'd better go back and look in the mirror!"

"You are such a smart guy. But what if I tell you that our target was you from the beginning?"

"What did you say...Open the scroll!"

As soon as the man in black robe stated his intention, William Booker's confidants immediately opened the ancient scrolls they had prepared in advance and cast a protective magic like a translucent eggshell.

At the same time, Her Royal Highness the Princess raised her hand.

"Omit the chant, cancel the double repetition - [Darkness Rush]."

Then, she released a dark flame from her palm that seemed to be burning.

boom--

However, before the surging black light hit the opponent, it was refracted by the translucent barrier.

"So it's defensive magic, so boring."

"Hahaha, you can't even deal with something like this? Then you're doomed!"

After seeing the magic cast by the princess being easily blocked by the barrier, the Duke's retainers and mercenaries, who were originally a little worried, all smiled in relief.

“You can’t break through this barrier, but this barrier won’t stop our attacks! Magicians and archers, step out and kill that pretentious idiot first!”
