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

After walking around the city for a long time, Aarons couldn't find any way to make money.

Most people in the city were waiting to laugh at him. Even though he was now the only legitimate heir to the Marquisate, it did not mean that the territory truly belonged to him.

The empire would certainly not let such an important territory as the border be ruled by an incompetent person.

The royal family has not yet officially announced the death of the Marquis' family. It is estimated that they also want to take the opportunity to test the ability of the heir.

If it is confirmed that Aarons cannot control this territory, then the Empire will definitely send people to take back the land and then send him to a remote place to live out the rest of his life.

Even the people in this city don't take him seriously, let alone other places in the Marquisate.

“It really is a start with nothing.”

After much thought, Aarons decided to go home and sort out the information first.

Since he had no qualifications to be the successor to the lord, the original Aarons had not received any systematic education. Even though he had attended the aristocratic school in the imperial capital, he had not learned any common sense.

He didn't even know the basic properties of the magic source stone, an important energy source, let alone any business or technical knowledge.

"If the Marquis were still alive, this unfortunate fellow would definitely be thrown into some remote corner to eat and wait for death."

Although Aarons' current life goal is to lie down and wait for death, he doesn't want to be sent to some godforsaken place to live there for the rest of his life.

Obviously, he is a lucky time traveler, but if he ends up with nothing like before, then all this luck would be wasted.

Fortunately, the study of the Marquis's house was not looted by the servants. The books and newspapers that had not been put away should be enough for Aarons to get a general understanding of the basic situation of this world.

"Old man, I'm back."

After passing through the barrier that only certain people could enter, Aarons saw the old gardener Raul in the courtyard of the mansion.

Because he was worried that the servants who had escaped earlier would come back to steal the property in the mansion, Aarons had asked Raul, the part-time security guard, to help modify the entry and exit permissions of the barrier.

Now, there are only two of them who can enter and leave the Marquis's mansion freely. If an outsider wants to forcibly break the barrier set up by the Marquis himself, he must have a strength of at least level five.

"Master, you're back, um...um."

"What's wrong? Just say it if you have something to say."

"When I came back just now, I was approached by a strange merchant trying to sell me some goods. I heard from the merchant that he had a secret treasure that could quickly upgrade one's strength, so I told him to bring the goods back for you to see."

A secret treasure that makes people stronger? This sounds like a scam.

Aarons didn't believe in any secret treasures, but the old man's original intention was for his own good. After all, a marquis's heir only had the strength of an ordinary adult, which was indeed a bit embarrassing.

"Well, okay, when will the merchant come?"

"It should be here soon... Oh, here it comes, right outside."

"That's great. Let me see what he's up to."

Aarons was forced to go out of the yard again before he could even go into the house to rest, and a feeling of anger rose in his heart.

If the businessman dared to blatantly use fake medicine or fake treasures to cheat him out of his money, he would immediately go to the city government to report the case.

"You are the eldest son of the Marquis of Moti, Mr. Aarons, right? I have heard a lot about you."

After walking out of the barrier with the old gardener, Aarons saw a tall and thin man with a gloomy face coming towards him.

Not far from the gate of the mansion, several animal-carrying carts covered with curtains were parked aside for rest, and the drivers kept looking at Aarons and his companions, seeming to be very interested in the situation here.

"I am a trader, and I was planning to transport some goods to the north to try my luck. Just now, your old servant took the initiative to ask me if there is any medicine or treasure that can enhance my strength. Such loyalty really touched me."

"Forget the polite words. Besides, I know that there is no such thing in the world."

Aarons had dealt with many businessmen in his previous life. Those who took the initiative to flatter the buyers right from the start were usually scammers who did not sell genuine goods.

This gloomy-faced man is probably the kind of unscrupulous liar who would go door-to-door to sell health products and IQ taxes.

"Oh, you don't understand. Although it is true that there are no medicines or treasures in the world that can make people level up, but this is not what I want to sell."

"If it's not secret medicine and treasures? Then what else is there?"

"Hehe, have you ever heard of 'Alien'?"

Aarons had no information about this word in his memory, so he subconsciously showed a confused expression.

The businessman keenly noticed the change in his expression, and his already sinister laughter immediately became even more evil.

"During the war between humans and demons a thousand years ago, the demons brought with them a group of alien races that looked like humans but were somewhat different. Although the invaders of the demons were eventually completely wiped out by the heroes of the time, the alien races that were brought in as slaves and cannon fodder were fortunately allowed to reproduce and thrive on this continent."

Although this sounds like an outrageous legend, Aarons had indeed seen records related to the "Demon War" when he was studying the history of the continent.

Although I don't remember it very clearly, this businessman should not have lied.

"Thanks for the explanation, what next?"

"Haha, don't worry. A few years ago, I accidentally found an ancient book. What was recorded in it gave me a big shock."

Although it was clear that the businessman's next words would be half true and half false, Aarons was not in a position to expose the other party's lies here.

After all, I have no money and no power now, and I will only be laughed at if I lose my temper.

"Why was that brave warrior able to wipe out all the demons by himself? It wasn't because he got some chance or treasure. In fact, there was only one very simple reason."

As the merchant spoke, he waved to one of the trucks to slowly move over. The goods on the truck, which were tightly covered by a curtain, aroused Aarons' curiosity.

And when the gloomy-faced businessman personally lifted the curtain on the truck, Aarons and the old gardener both gasped in shock.

"The ancient book says that anyone who kills an alien with their own hands can gain a portion of their power. And the hero killed countless aliens at that time, which is why he became an invincible strong man."

——In the iron cage under the curtain, a young alien woman with reddish-brown wolf ears and tail, different from humans, with mutilated hands and feet and bruises all over her body, was sitting powerlessly inside.

"Hey, slave trading is illegal in the Empire."

After seeing the skinny and ragged woman in the cage, Aarons immediately realized what kind of business this businessman was doing.

"That being said, I had no intention of opening a business here. And you should know that the Empire has no control over your place at all."

Although the story the businessman just told might be fake, the foreign woman who looked like she was about to die was the real deal.
