On the other side, the auction was proceeding smoothly.

After the 19th item was auctioned off,

"Unbelievable! Truly unbelievable! So far, all the items today have been acquired by this young man at jaw-dropping high prices. This young man is undoubtedly the biggest dark horse today."

The host exclaimed excitedly on the stage.

Hey, hey, this isn't a horse race, stop using those terms randomly, and I've already said, stop making enemies for me.

Just as Ryuto was thinking like this,

"Ah, that young man is so handsome."

The whisper of a young woman reached Ryuto's ears.

Following that,

"This young man will surely accomplish great things in the future."

"It seems necessary to get to know this talented young man."

"Mm, I am fond of this young man, so, I've decided to betroth my daughter to him."

"Hey, hey, those are my lines, I had already decided to betroth both of my daughters to him before that young man even walked in."

"You all, get lost. The young man had already been engaged to my eight-year-old daughter, don't even dream of it."

Voices like this continued to ring in his ears.

Am I really that good-looking? Although it's a bit self-conceited to say it myself, but...

Seems like you all have a problem with your taste in aesthetics.

Saying I have talent, are you really being honest? Or, is there something wrong with your eyes?

Third from the last, I don't even know your daughter, is what you're doing really okay? I am just a poor guy, won't you regret it?

And second from the last, I won't say anything else, are you trying to make me commit bigamy? You're doing this on purpose, aren't you? You're definitely doing this on purpose.

And, you say you had already decided to betroth your two daughters to me before I walked in, isn't that contradicting yourself? You didn't seem to know me at all before I walked in, is this some kind of foresight legend?

Oh my...

Are you so awesome, do your parents know?

Especially the last one, isn't your daughter only eight years old? Is this really okay? It's going to get you arrested, and I've never even met you, when did I get engaged to your daughter?

Indeed, is the power of money so great? It can actually change history.

Ryuto, the poor guy, knelt down in anger.

Well, even though I don't know what's going on, it seems like there's no more animosity now, in a way, it's not a bad thing.

Moreover, it feels like everyone here is remarkably talented in some way, if those companies are looking to recruit talent, it seems best to come here, but here...

There shouldn't be anyone here who came to recruit employees.

Furthermore, although these talents are just their selling points, they shouldn't have fallen to this point for normal reasons, after all, if someone has such talents but can't make ends meet, there's nothing weirder in this world.

Just when Ryuto was thinking like this, our host had already started to excitedly announce,

"Alright, next up, is the final item of the day, and this item is also the heaviest item in the history of our auction house. Let's welcome number 20."

As soon as the host finished speaking, Miyuki walked up to the stage.

Of course, there were no changes compared to when they parted ways, except for a sign with the number 20 hanging from her chest.

"Wow—"

After Mei Xue stepped onto the stage, there was an immediate burst of exclamations from the audience, regardless of gender or age.

It felt like attending a concert, didn't it?

"Ah—A stunning beauty!"

"Wow—So dazzling!"

The crowd was filled with excited shouts and screams.

These brain-dead fans really...
