The young man

Seeing John lost in deep thought, Master Reo did not urge him, instead sitting quietly beside, waiting. Moments later, John came back to his senses.

"If the master thinks there's a risk, then just remove those six daggers from your auction inventory," John said, weighing his words. "However, as I said before, since I brought those items, I'll naturally deal with the associated risks. The only requirement is your trust in me..."

Master Reo didn't decide immediately, looking somewhat astonished as he asked, "Are you implying, Mr. Galewind, that if AGHHO assassins really act during the auction, you would intervene and handle them?"

"That's a team led by an assassin master. As far as my limited knowledge goes, to be titled a master in the assassin class means at least level 200. They're not comparable to ordinary powerhouses. Handling such powerful figures, even with Mr. Galewind's capabilities, shouldn't be easy, right?"
