The scene shifts to the auction house on the other side.
Located at the backstage of the auction house, according to the regulations, customers who successfully bid for items need to come here to complete the relevant procedures.
Well, it's just what they call collecting goods, but it's a matter of paying and receiving in one go.
So the people gathering here are the goods, the buyers, and the intermediaries, which are the responsible persons of the auction house.
Naturally, the person in charge is the man who brought Ryuto in initially, along with the middle-aged plump woman.
As for the buyers…
Due to the special circumstances today, there is only one buyer, Ryuto.
But even so, there are nearly 30 people crowded in here, after all, there are 20 people being treated as goods. Well, let's for now exclude the last one.
Now, the buyer is sitting at a table facing the intermediary for a conversation.
The plump middle-aged woman looks Ryuto up and down sitting across from her, then shifts her gaze towards the man beside her.
"Is this young man the big client you mentioned before?"
"Yes."
The man sounded quite proud.
"I didn't expect him to be so young, probably… only sixteen or seventeen."
"Yes, he's probably the youngest buyer here."
"Although he's young, he's quite generous, and even though we knew he was a big client before, we didn't expect it to be this much."
The plump middle-aged woman sighed.
To this, the man just shrugged helplessly.
"Well, no one expected him to buy all the goods in this auction. This was unprecedented."
"While it's amazing to buy all the goods, the reality is far more complicated, didn't you anticipate that beforehand?"
With that, the plump middle-aged woman once again shifted her gaze back to the man, quickly drawing her conclusion before he could respond.
"Looks like you didn't."
There was a hint of helplessness in her tone.
"Oh, I didn't expect the goods brought by that person to fetch a final price of 10 billion, which is undoubtedly the most surprising."
"Yes, it seems your bonus won't be meager this time."
"That's true, but before that..."
The man then turned his gaze towards Ryuto.
"This customer, according to the feedback from the auctioneer, it seems like you bought all the goods."
"Yes."
"Based on our calculations, the total price for 20 items is 102 billion Bett."
"Oh, I see."
Ryuto's voice was very calm.
"But there's one issue before that."
"An issue?"
"Yes, customer, putting other matters aside, if I remember correctly, you seem to be the seller of item number 20, right?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
Ryuto admitted quite frankly, as he hadn't intended to be evasive on this matter.
"Customer, you need to understand that what you did is not acceptable."
"Not acceptable?"
"Yes, if all customers behave like you, selling and then buying back after deciding, the transactions cannot go through, this will cause us a lot of trouble."
"Oh... well, although you are right, but..."
Ryuto paused slightly at this point.
"This time is just an exception."
"Exception?"
"Yes, because after thinking it over, I felt that I shouldn't sell it after all, but I didn't want to say it directly. After all, once you go back on your word, it would probably cause you a lot of trouble. So the only solution is for me to buy it instead, that way there wouldn't be any issue."
"So..."
Ryuto's expression was very calm.
"Yes, it's just because this time I changed my mind, is that not allowed? Although the fault does lie with me, but if a customer makes a mistake, and you don't allow it, then I think I should rethink things in the future. Most importantly, it would have a significant impact on the reputation of your store."
