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

After finishing the audience which was like a work report and leaving the palace alone, Aarons felt a little dazed for a moment.

Looking at the imperial capital that was still flashing neon lights even in the daytime, he always had a confused sense of unreality in his heart - what kind of world had he come to?

Here there is magic and fighting spirit that can take other people's lives at will, there are magical beasts galloping freely, and there is a city that is more prosperous and magical than the previous life.

Why did I travel to such a world? What did the person who summoned me want me to do?

“…I can’t figure it out.”

Aarons, who was a little confused, did not immediately go to the God of War's mansion to find his two alien attendants, but walked alone in the city.

This city was so much like the place where he had lived in his previous life—people were indulging themselves in the joys of life, singing praises of their lives in the midst of feasting and revelry, and creating all kinds of stories in every busy and fulfilling day.

But I am obviously a lucky time traveler, why am I still just an insignificant little character here?

He had no fighting potential, no substantial family business, no chance or luck, and not even a cheat… He only had two monsters that would probably drain him dry very quickly.

If I were still young, I might still be overwhelmed by desire. But when I traveled through time, I was already forty years old... After seeing the fickleness of the world and the warmth and coldness of human nature, even if I still have physical desires, I am already exhausted mentally.

Compared with wealth, status or beauty, he actually wants to know what he should do in this life - he wants to know what kind of life is meaningful to him.

"Ah... I don't understand."

Walking alone on the busy street, Aarons' mood became increasingly depressed. He wanted to buy something to fill his stomach, but when he felt his pocket, he found that he only had a dozen copper coins.

By the way, because the money I brought was not enough, I had already given all the large silver and gold coins to Xia Ye for safekeeping.

"This is really..."

However, just when Aarons was about to curse a few words in annoyance, he was suddenly hit by someone from behind.

The coins in his hand fell to the ground because of his stumble, and before Aarons could come to his senses, an irresistible force pulled him directly into the alley next to him.

"What……"

"…I'm sorry for charging you for doing this."

Before Aarons could utter a complete word, his mouth was tightly covered by someone behind him. Just as he tried to struggle, a dagger was directly placed on his neck.

"Someone is trying to kill you, but I don't want to do it this close to the street. Follow me inside, and I'll consider letting you live a little longer."

Although I know that there are people in the capital who are hostile to the Marquis' family, why did someone come to us so soon?

I am just a person with no special abilities... No, since the Emperor knows what happened during the beast tide, the Marquis' enemies probably know it as well.

——So what should I do? How can I escape this dead end?

When fear emerged from the bottom of his heart, Aarons felt his blood flowing at a faster speed.

His mind began to overload, and his spirit became calm and peaceful - Aarons Moti's own power began to emerge, dispelling the fear that should have occupied his mind.

The possibility of him escaping by force was not high, but the other party did not seem to want to kill him so close to the block, so he might have a chance to attract other people's attention.

But even with this added in, the chances of him surviving were less than 20%, unless there was some force that could disregard all conditions and forcibly break the deadlock.

"...Now follow me, don't try to escape, or I won't mind bleeding you here."

Unfortunately, I don't have that kind of power.

Call Karin and Xia Ye through the contract? Although it is indeed possible to do so, by the time they arrive here, I am estimated that I will already be a corpse.

Distract the other party's attention and escape by force? If the other party is vindictive, the probability of success is less than 10%.

So what should we do to break this deadly situation?

"Interesting... I felt there was some murderous intent here so I came here to check out the situation, but I ended up discovering something incredible."

"who!?"

Just as Aarons was about to be taken hostage and walked deeper into the alley, a familiar black figure suddenly appeared at the entrance of the alley.

"Isn't this Mr. Aarons? It's really unlucky to run into trouble in a place like this."

——I seemed to have heard that young woman’s voice somewhere recently.

"Damn it, someone suddenly comes to disturb us at this time. There's nothing I can do... Die!"

The moment he felt the blade on his neck begin to exert force, Aarons saw the figure at the alley entrance slowly raising his cane -

"Omit the chant——double chain canceled! [Dark Eclipse Hell]!"

Just as the blade was about to cut through his skin, countless black tentacles suddenly appeared in front of Aarons... and then his world was covered by endless darkness.

"Magician!? Cast a spell why... no!!"

——The last sound Aarons heard in the darkness was the crisp sound of the dagger falling to the ground.

“…What happened?”

After a few seconds of thinking due to the sudden change, the darkness in front of Aarons' eyes suddenly dissipated. The person who was originally standing at the entrance of the alley walked towards him with elegant steps.

He had seen that person before - the woman in a black dress with gold trim, a wide-brimmed hat and a black veil, was the one he had chatted with under the moon yesterday.

"The little pests have been cleared away. I hope you were not frightened, Master Aarons."

"Pest? No...wait, you are..."

His brain was working at high speed and had not yet stopped. In this short moment, Aarons had analyzed and drawn several possible conclusions.

This woman who appeared at the right time might be in cahoots with the killer just now—

"Oh... With that suspicious look and alert posture, it seems like you think I'm an accomplice of that little bug, right?"

The woman in black walked towards Aarons very gracefully, leaning on her cane and taking steady steps. With every step she took, Aarons's instinctive alarm sounded more and more sharply.

——Run quickly, otherwise your future life will be ruined... Life?

Why am I thinking about life at this time?

"…Who are you? Why do you appear here by chance?"

"Young Master, you were thinking about something important before, so you didn't notice the situation around you at all, right? I have been following you since you left the Imperial City."

She dared to speak out about illegal stalking! What's wrong with this woman?
