End of First Day

It didn't take long for a knock to reach Jack's door, but this time a voice was heard too.

"Thank you for your generous offer, Master. Would it be alright for us to meet our kind benefactor? We'll maintain the utmost secrecy, of course."

The only thing that the people outside heard was the sound of a knock on the small door to the side. They quickly understood and made the exchange as usual.

Both of the head managers from Golden Haven and Celestial Crane left with sad faces.

They asked the manager from the Fat Goose to lead them to the room, but he rejected them. He said that person was a friend of the owner, Argyle, and that he kept everything completely secret.

Of course, the manger never mentioned that he also knew who he was, but that didn't matter.

Now, both managers returned to the owners of their respective auction houses and informed them about their findings and their rejection.
