The Lord of Another World: All Wasted at the Beginning, and He Made His Fortune by Taking in the Fem
Chapter 97 Debt Collection
Aarons's arrogant declaration quickly caused an uproar among the contestants and the audience.
Some people thought that he was just bluffing by relying on his royal backing, some thought that he had obtained some secret treasure left by Marquis Moti, and some even thought that he was deliberately attracting hatred so that others would not notice the dark actions behind the scenes.
But no matter which view it is, it cannot explain why he would voluntarily give up the princess's support.
"Anyway, as long as there is no support from that ship, a mere second-level trash is nothing to be afraid of."
——Of course, most people still think this way.
……
And given that this sudden incident was indeed somewhat unexpected, the supervision team also added a special rule regarding servants and partners.
"The Supervisory Group will issue an additional rule - limit the total amount of assets that servants and companions can bring, and they must be registered and filed. If resources or equipment of equivalent value that exceed the specified limit are used, it will be considered a violation."
Each contestant can only bring five combat attendants, and even including a partner, there are only ten people. After the combat effectiveness is strictly restricted, wealth becomes an important bargaining chip.
But once this additional rule comes out, the possibility of winning by relying on the financial backers to directly spend money becomes very slim.
"Finally, let me give you a friendly reminder. I will use all the resources I have to first crack down on those who try to be clever. If you think I'm joking, you can try it from now on."
At the end of the press conference, Aarons once again made some unacceptable remarks.
——He actually wanted to perform the duties of a referee as a contestant? Wouldn't this mean he was going to make everyone his enemy?
But no matter what the other contestants thought, the audience who watched the live broadcast of the press conference did have a glimmer of anticipation.
……
"Brother-in-law, have you discussed what you said today with my sister?"
"She told me to just say it casually, and your sister and I haven't gotten married yet, so don't call me brother-in-law so quickly."
"Well, she's too casual... I can't explain this to my father."
After the press conference, the third prince returned to the hotel with Aarons.
Although the young prince had no feelings about Aarons's arrogant declaration, the commander of the legion and the minister of trade seemed a little worried.
"Marquis, although I don't know what you are going to do, but... won't this be dangerous?"
"Yes, although our border defense corps will help maintain order, if you are attacked outside the city, we will not be able to protect your safety."
"Don't worry, my bodyguards are pretty good. And I guess His Majesty wanted me to attract as much attention as possible."
Discovering that Aarons not only remained quite rational, but could even accurately guess the emperor's thoughts, the two royal confidants who had already known the plan said nothing more.
——The emperor really wanted Aarons to disrupt the situation here as much as possible, so as to blow out the big fish lurking underwater.
"Anyway, brother-in-law, there are still many loopholes in the current rules. You must be careful of the contestants supported by other dukes or marquises, as well as the people sent by my two royal brothers."
"I think you might be more dangerous, Your Highness."
It seemed that the Third Prince had already considered himself his ally - although it was indeed inappropriate to start taking sides so quickly, Aarons himself was not very fond of the First and Second Princes, who might be the murderers of the Marquis' family.
"My sister might come over later, brother-in-law, are you going to wait for her here?"
"No, I have to go collect a debt now. If Her Royal Highness really wants to see me for something, let her go directly to my house."
Aarons couldn't help but sneer because he suddenly remembered that he still had some money to collect.
"Lord Zexiu, I suddenly realize that this kid is starting to look a bit like Old Morty."
"Wow, I think this should be a good thing. Let's take a look."
After seeing Aarons leave, with something obviously changed, the two supervisors immediately laughed out loud.
……
"Hey, Manager Feng, do you remember me? The last time I came to you to do something, things didn't go smoothly."
After leaving the hotel where the prince was staying, Aarons immediately brought the royal guards who were protecting him and Karin to the financial institution he had visited when he had just crossed over.
Marquis Moti still had some savings in it, but when Aarons tried to negotiate, he was rejected with a high-sounding excuse.
"Isn't this the Marquis? Why did you have time to come to our place today?"
"Hey, Manager Feng doesn't look that old, how come he has become forgetful?"
The wolf girl with black hair and golden eyes stood very submissively beside Aarons. Although she did not have any powerful aura, she gave people the illusion that their throats would be bitten off in the next second.
The short and fat bank manager was now covered in sweat and was even shaking.
"This, this, this... Marquis, how could I forget about you? It's just..."
"It's just that the specific details of the Marquis's deposits have not been sorted out yet, and there is not that much money in the bank right now...right?"
When Aarons spoke out the other party's prepared speech, the financial manager's fat face suddenly turned purple with fright.
"My Lord, My Lord Marquis! I dare not...I dare not!"
"My father, Marquis Moti, once deposited 500 gold coins with you. Now that I have inherited the title of Marquis as you requested, should I take out the money?"
"No, that's not right! Marquis Moti only had two hundred in our bank..."
Aarons had no idea how much money the old marquis had saved. He just casually said a number and got the other person to talk directly.
"Two hundred? You, you must have embezzled my family's money and are trying to default on it!"
The reason why the fat manager was so frightened was not because Aarons had any domineering aura - if he was simply an honorary marquis with an empty title, it would still be difficult to get the money back.
But now Aarons is still the princess's fiancé publicly recognized by the empire.
"How dare we do that! It's just that there really aren't that many..."
"I understand. You embezzled the old marquis's inheritance because you had been secretly communicating with Cardia for a long time. You planned to commit treason like Marvell and his gang, right?"
At the same time when Aarons put a big hat on the opponent without any warning, all the guards who were waiting outside suddenly rushed in.
As soon as they came in, they drew the swords at their waists and pointed them mercilessly at the fat manager who was already limp on the ground.
"My Lord Marquis, is this man a traitor?"
"Maybe. If they really embezzled my father's money, they must have given it to the Cadians."
"No, that's not the case! We'll get it out for you right away!"
Aarons did not feel any pleasure when he saw the fat manager tumbling and crawling into the inner hall and the bank employees around him trembling in fear.
This feeling is not like what I read in books in my previous life - even if I can flatten and round these little people, what is the point in the end?
Is it really fun to fight against opponents of this level?
"...It's too cheap to use the power you left behind on such a person."
