The next morning, we met with the owner of the auction hall once more.
When he saw us, he treated me completely differently from before.
After all, he had received the message from his backers that he was to listen to us from now on.
In short, he had been told that they had given up on him.
With no one backing him, he could only turn to me since I had said that I would get rid of his backers. He knew that I was the one that had been powerful enough to make this happen.
As such, he could only rely on me for this.
"Tell me about all the different businesses that you run."
The owner of the auction hall was surprised to hear this, but he quickly recovered and started telling me the information that I asked for.
"Not enough." I said in a decisive voice once he finished explaining everything.
The owner of the auction hall just looked at me with an awkward look on his face.
There was a part of him that seemed embarrassed because of what I said.
