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

"I'm sorry, I'm not sure what the advantages of a level 5 mercenary are. If you want me to pay more for your level, then there's no point in discussing this."

Just being a level five doesn't mean much sincerity to Aarons.

He recruited mercenaries not to fight high-level monsters or go to war with other regions, but just to retake an independent mine, which did not require such high-level combat power.

"I see, you don't plan to recapture other cities. Then how about we just hand over any spoils we capture during the mission directly to you?"

"...How far do you want to test me?"

This guy obviously knows what kind of situation he is in and what he is going to do.

Aarons's vigilance towards this man was at its highest level. He had no idea why this man wanted to contact him and what he was going to get from him.

In short, we can't get entangled with such people anymore.

"Of course I have my own sources of information, but you are really unexpected... It seems that the rumors about the impending decline of the Marquis family are just jokes of ignorant people."

"It's meaningless for you to flatter me like this. If you don't say something that will satisfy me, then pack up your things and get out."

"Then I will directly make an offer - our mercenary group will rest in this city for about fifteen days. During this period, if you have any problems involving the battle, you can directly instruct us to solve them. And the compensation I expect is..."

Having said that, the mercenary leader suddenly smiled brightly.

Just when Aarons was feeling confused, he pointed at Xia Ye without any warning.

“That’s all I want.”

"Would you please stop letting—"

"The clothes you two ladies are wearing don't look like the style that can be bought around here. I only hope that you can provide a few sets of clothes of this style as a reward so that I can give a gift to my wives."

...What the hell?

Aarons was originally planning to curse at the other party, but he didn't expect the other party to make such an outrageous request.

Clothes? You, a mercenary, don't even want the money and you want to get a few sets of clothes from me?

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"To be honest, I did some research on the origins of these clothes because I saw these two ladies outside. And in the end, I found that these designs must have a lot to do with you."

There is nothing wrong with this statement.

The clothes Xia Ye and Karin were wearing were indeed styles that did not exist in this world, and the source of the design was indeed related to Aarons.

But... there are people in this world who are willing to make all kinds of efforts for a unique appearance?

"That's why I was the first to come to you when you posted the recruitment information! Please! Please! Customize a few sets of clothes of this style for my wives! As long as I can get these, it doesn't matter even if I have to hunt a dragon!"

"...Please wait a moment."

Although he was about to agree to this condition, because the clothes were not made by him, Aarons still took the initiative to exchange glances with Xia Ye beside him.

——The answer is yes.

"Well, my tailor likes to make some fresh designs. If you really want it, I can ask her to make a few more."

If this guy really only cares about appearance, Aarons is planning to ask for a huge amount of money.

"But the materials and tools used to make these clothes are not cheap! If you just want to work hard to pay off the debt, I can't agree to that!"

"I see. If you have any request, just tell me directly."

"Since you just said you have your own intelligence source, then I will verify this matter. There is a magic source stone mine 300 miles northeast of this city. I will give you one and a half days to find out the personnel, terrain, and equipment deployment there, and then submit a detailed report!"

If these people fail to complete this task, Aarons will naturally not continue to cooperate with them.

But if this mercenary group really has this kind of intelligence gathering capability, then by making use of their power a little before being summoned by the emperor, perhaps they can really save the situation.

"No problem. I will deliver the report to your residence before noon tomorrow. Now, please allow me to take my leave."

After watching the handsome guy who was several levels taller than him rush out of the tavern with the beautiful fox girl, Aarons was silent for a long time and didn't know what to say.

"Master, that man's strength might be real. Although he looks relaxed on the surface, his body has been in a state of combat from beginning to end... He must have experienced many battles."

"I really don't understand that. But if you say so, then I'll believe it."

——Because Karin was once a seasoned warrior, she was able to discern the strength of others from the details.

However, that man did surprise her a little. After all, people with such strength usually wouldn't deliberately maintain a guarded posture.

Unless he felt some kind of threat in this room - Karin turned to look at her colleague, but did not sense any strange aura from him.

"The other party is on guard against the young master, but it doesn't seem like they are afraid of your strength. I don't know why they would react like this."

"Afraid of me? Is there anyone in this world who is afraid of me?"

After hearing this unexpected answer, Aarons felt even more confused.

……

"Captain, what exactly do you think?"

After leaving the tavern where they met, the mercenary leader Kulan immediately put away his frivolous appearance. The fox girl following behind him also became much colder at this time, and the slightly intimate state between the two of them just now was gone.

"I'm sorry, Li Yue, for making you play this cheap trick with me again."

"I have no complaints about playing the role of your wife. I even hope that you can make it real sooner... But I still need you to explain what happened today."

The relationship between the two did not seem to be as close as before, but in fact it was not much different.

"After Marquis Moti's family died, the guys from the Sulin Chamber of Commerce suddenly came here. I followed them to investigate their movements...but I didn't expect that there was still someone left in the Marquis's family."

"The eldest son of the Marquis, Aarons, is a well-known loser who will never reach the third level in his lifetime. You should have confirmed his strength with your own eyes just now, right?"

"Yes, that young master has flaws all over his body. Any guy with bad intentions could kill him. But... he didn't show any fear when facing someone who was dozens or even a hundred times stronger than himself."

After hesitating for a while, the handsome Kuran finally frowned and expressed his doubts.

"What I can't understand is... where does his fearless confidence come from?"
