Traveling to another world, inheriting a mess at the beginning

"... You have to be sincere when doing business, Your Excellency the Duke."

Aarons could not determine the other party's true intentions, but the other party dared to come to him alone without any guards to negotiate with him, so he must have something to rely on.

Even without these factors, the courage and boldness of this young duke are admirable.

"Does the Marquis want sincerity? That's it."

As if he had expected Aarons to say this, Duke Oufei picked up the suitcase he brought and placed it directly on the table in the reception room.

After opening the box, Aarons saw a very complicated set of drawings - he had seen similar things in Jiangyue's laboratory, probably the design drawings of something.

"The Marquis only needs to show this thing to someone who knows the business, and he will understand my sincerity."

"Why did Your Excellency the Duke come to me? If you want to overthrow the Duke of Booker's family, as long as you take action while we are fighting, you may be able to directly eliminate our two families."

The duke's behavior was indeed a bit strange, so Aarons did not dare to let down his guard.

Even if the two dukes' families were indeed at odds, he didn't need to go to discuss this with his enemy - but this man not only came alone to negotiate with him, but also put on an attitude of "definitely being able to negotiate".

Where did his confidence come from?

"It seems that the Marquis doesn't know much about the sphere of influence of the nobles, so I will give you some reasons that the Marquis can understand - the Duke of Ophir still agrees with the rules of the nobles and will not become a destroyer of the existing order."

The meaning of this sentence is that the Duke admitted without hesitation that he is still Aarons' enemy.

Because Aarons is a person who wants to break the rules and subvert the order, there is indeed no coexistence between them.

But such a statement actually has another potential meaning.

"Doesn't the Duke want to dirty his hands?"

"Marquis, do you think the existing rules and order are a mistake that endangers the stability of the country?"

This question directly touched the core, which made Aarons speechless for a while.

The order and rules established by the great nobles did maintain the stable operation of the empire. The reason why he wanted to resist these things was just because he and Claire were treated unfairly.

The reason why the existing system can exist stably is that it still has sufficient rationality.

"Those things may be correct in some aspects... but they are now a threat to me and my wife, so I want to resist."

"In that case, the matter I talked to you about is also out of my personal will."

This is the other party's answer-it has nothing to do with justice and righteousness. The reason why the duke wants to eliminate the Booker family is just a personal grudge.

"The Marquis doesn't have to think too much. We are only temporarily cooperating because we have the same interests in this matter. After the matter is over, we are still in a hostile relationship."

After the young duke bluntly stated such a simple conclusion, Aarons was indeed a little moved.

This man did not shy away from any malice. He just planned to use Aarons to uproot the Duke of Booker's family.

"As for the remaining things in Booker's house, how about we each take them based on our own abilities?"

"Why is the Duke so confident that I will definitely agree to your conditions?"

Although Aarons had already decided to cooperate with the other party, he still remained vigilant enough - the Duke might have some tricks that he couldn't guess. If he made a rash decision, he might fall into the other party's trap.

"Does the Marquis want to know the reason? Then..."

"My husband, I went to the office to look for you just now, but you were not there. It turned out that there was a guest--"

Then before the elegant and handsome young Duke could explain his reasons, Her Royal Highness suddenly broke into the reception room without any care.

And when she saw the person sitting in the guest seat, her expression instantly became serious.

"...Why are you here, Moro?"

"Long time no see, Your Royal Highness. I didn't expect that your appearance has really recovered. Congratulations."

Although the conversation between the two was very simple, Aarons understood it at once - the two of them should have known each other a long time ago.

"Answer me, what are you doing here?"

"I'm just planning to discuss a business deal with the Marquis. Your Highness Princess shouldn't mind."

"Oh, business... Is Sister Diya's death also a business deal?"

The grudge between these two people seems to be quite complicated... But who is that Diya?

Aarons was keenly aware of some hidden secrets - the reason why the Duke came to see him was probably not"Talking about business" is so simple.

"It's all in the past. Does the princess still intend to pester him?"

"Hmph... Husband, don't agree to anything from him. I'll explain to you later."

"Since the prince is determined to disrupt the situation now, there is no need for me to stay here any longer... I will send someone to contact him again later. If the marquis is interested in cooperation, just tell my subordinates at that time."

After saying this, the young duke actually stood up directly.

He didn't even care whether he would be attacked by Aarons's people. He maintained admirable arrogance and confidence from beginning to end.

"Then goodbye. Also, please say hello to Earl Jiangyue for me."

...

When the man really left, Aarons finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The other party's momentum and oppression really lived up to the name of the duke. Even if he was not afraid psychologically, he was still suppressed.

If the three dukes are like this, then he must be more cautious in the future.

"My husband, what is his identity when he came to you?"

"He claims to be the head of the Oufei family and the current Duke of Oufei."

"As expected... I started learning magic under Teacher Jiangyue when I was twelve years old, and at that time, Teacher Jiangyue actually had another disciple."

This is what Aarons didn't know at all - the person who was related to both Jiangyue and Keliya must be the key to the problem.

"That person's name is Deya Dora, and later became Deya Oufei... She is the wife of that bastard Moro Oufei."

"Wait a minute, I think this story may take a long time to tell... Why don't we go directly to Teacher Jiangyue to talk about it."

Looking at the suitcase and the set of drawings left on the table, Aarons always felt that this matter was not simple.

"Xia Ye, help me notify Zhu Ying and ask her to follow the Duke for a while to see where he will go later."

Looking at the princess who was a little unhappy because of the past, Aarons showed a meaningful smile.

"Maybe I can understand what that guy is really thinking."
