Joshua Hayes was rather helpless, "Brother Cole, there's nothing I can do, my dad sent me here."
"A few days ago, I went back to Midocen, and my dad asked me to attend this auction. He said there was an item that's very important for our Hayes family, so he wanted me to participate in the bidding."
"I just got back tonight. I tried to find you earlier, but you weren't there."
"What time did you try to find me?" William Cole asked.
Joshua Hayes explained, "At nine o'clock in the evening."
William Cole shook his head, "No wonder you couldn't find me, I was already here by seven, and you looked for me when I was at this place."
While the two of them were talking, several people in masks, dressed like servants of a manor, came up, "Gentlemen, excuse me, please don't talk here. The auction is about to start, you should go inside now."
"Let's go."
Seeing this, William Cole did not say much and walked down the corridor with Joshua Hayes.
