After we came out of the room, the guards that had been waiting outside immediately surrounded us.
The manager quickly turned around and said, "Count Zwein, I hope that you will not mind. We have prepared guards to escort you to your carriage."
I gave a nod since I already knew that this was the case.
If anything happened to me while I was still in the auction house, they would naturally be the ones that would be punished. Not to mention that if I was robbed of the item that I won, they would lose all their reputation.
So that was why the manager was being so cautious.
I didn't mind since this was just how it was.
Plus, it would be a good way of attracting attention like I wanted.
As we walked through the auction hall, it was definitely eye-catching with all the guards around me.
There were many people that pointed and whispered as we walked through, but that was fine with me.
