It was the Head from the other day, accompanied by a man dressed in a similar black attire. The man was tall, even taller than Huaijin. He appeared younger than the Head but wore a black mask, concealing his identity from view.
Accompanying the Head was the Head of the Auction House himself. They hadn't come with the intention of leaving.
"Greetings, Lady Chaoyan. I am Duan Feng, the Head of the Auction House. Please forgive me for offending you today, Lady Chaoyan," Duan Feng spoke, offering his apologies to Gu Chaoyan without elaborating on the authenticity of the authority token.
"It's fine," Gu Chaoyan responded curtly. She hadn't intended to make a fuss about it.
Duan Feng felt somewhat reassured.
He cast a stern gaze at the guard. "I personally gave Lady Chaoyan the authority token. It is undoubtedly real!"
The guard remained silent.
